Don't ask a woman with a slightly bulging stomach "When are you due?" Don't ask a married couple "So when are you going to have kids?" And don't ask a woman who isn't wearing a wedding ring "Are you dating anyone?"
This is what I hear when someone asks that: "Does anyone think you're desirable enough to bone regularly?" Usually, I'll respond with something like "I'm dating a few, but no one special." What I'm thinking is: "F off! That is none of your business." Unless you are trying to set me up with your attractive, single and successful nephew, it really isn't any of your business.
Obviously, I'm going to talk to my close friends and family about the ins, outs and goings on of my dating life. They are probably are going to hear way more than they want to know. Who I bring into my life as a partner actually has meaning in their lives, because this person will also be part of their life.
As I edge closer to 30, the question has become even more invasive. It goes like this: "Are you dating anyone?" "No one special." "How old are you?" "::Anything over 27::" "Well, you must not want children." I've had this exact conversation three times. All with relative strangers, friendly acquaintances at BEST.
The hard fact is that I'm turning 30 in June. If I want to have children in that traditional nuclear family/natural pregnancy type of way, I'd basically have to start dating that man immediately. Like fall in love tonight. So that we can date for a year or two (31), be engaged for another year (32), be married for two or three years (35) and get pregnant on like the first time we try. BUT. My desire to "someday" have children does not overpower my desire to "someday" fall in love with the right person.
I look at the above timeline and think "Well, that really sucks." I mean, it seems so improbable that it makes me laugh. In all honesty, I've had four opportunities to get married to the really, really, really wrong guy. The guys I dated at 21, 24, 26 and 27. Three have gotten married since we broke up and one even proposed to me on New Year's Eve of this year. All would have been a mistake. I could have married these men and we could have kids together, but I don't think that is the better option.
I mean, my genes are great and all, but, if I don't spread them, the human race isn't going to end. There are a lot of people pushing mini people out and not having any sort of ability to take care of them.
If I'm 40 and haven't met my "match," I've already decided that I'm going to look into adoption. Even if I have met my match, we might decide to go this route. Honestly, the idea of having a baby growing inside of me and having to push it out of my lady parts is absolutely terrifying to me. I might have wanted to go this route even if I married the guy at 21. I can have a family, even after the sands of time have laid to rest in my baby oven.
As a woman with a career, there's this whole new element of "can women have it all," "you've got to lean in," "you can't be a mom, wife and career woman and expect to be successful at all three," etc etc etc. I heard about a woman who actually called into a conference call from the hospital bed in a delivery room. The pressure of strategizing my womanly expectations is almost more stressful than the actual jobs themselves.
Here's the straight up. I'm dating. And it's really fun. I'd love to fall in love with someone amazing, call him "boyfriend" for awhile and eventually "husband." It's not that I'm so wild and selfish that I can't be tied down, it's that I'm not pushing myself into that path with just any someone. It has meaning to me. Sometimes I'm in relationships and sometimes I'm not. Sometimes I'm exchanging flirtations with a few potentials while I gauge his and my interest. Being single doesn't mean I'm sitting at home alone in the dark. If I am at home alone, it's not because I'm gross and everybody hates me. It doesn't have to be one or the other.
Until I find a real partner who I want to hold hands with through life and want to experience the gift of parenthood with, I'm going to continue dating "a few people, but no one special" and being a really cool aunt.

Another day, another multi-billion dollar proposal to stimulate the economy and conveniently distract everyone from the shambles of a proposal that was the Great Firewall of Australia. The newsbots are in a flurry about this one and with this being right up my alley, I can't help but throw my few cents in ;). So let's take a good look at this proposal and see what it will mean for Australia, the public at large and of course, Senator Conroy.
Australia is about average when it comes to broadband penetration with the majority of our users on ADSL, some on cable and the rest on some unknown connection (usually satellite or 3G wireless). This is quite comparable to many other countries and the norm seems to be the majority on ADSL with only Japan and Korea having a large representation of customers with fibre/cable speeds. What this proposal aims to do is to bring fibre connections to 90% of all homes in Australia. By my estimates with approximately 8 million households in Australia that will mean fibre speeds to about 7.2 million houses, with 800,000 left in the digital dark age. Whilst this is still a very aggressive target to meet you'd still be pretty annoyed if you were one of those 800,000 homes that was left out. Hopefully the extra fibre being run everywhere will also spur others to upgrade the DSLAMs in local exchanges for those poor people who are left out.
The current proposal is signalled to run for about 8 years. Now anyone in IT will tell you that a time frame like that for a project in this field will inevitably be out-dated by the time it is completed. Using Moore's Law as a basis, we would see that the average computing power would have increased by about 16 times, with data rates and storage capacities following suit. If this kind of project is to be undertaken the network must be scalable with newer technologies, otherwise it will be useless by the time it is implemented. Whilst they haven't described what kind of fibre technology they're going to be using I would recommend single-mode fibre which should scale up to 10Gb/s, allowing the network to not be outdated the day it's switched on.
I rejoiced when I heard that the whole thing would be government controlled, hoping to avoid the catastrophe that Telstra has become. However it became apparent that the initial investment from the government will be $4.7 billion with the rest to be raised from private investors. Once the network is complete they will sell down their holdings in the company, thereby releasing all control on it. I don't think I have to make it anymore clear that they are basically creating a monopoly on the network by allowing this one mega-corp to own all the infrastructure instead of the government. Unless there are strict provisions in place to ensure that other ISPs will be able to tap into this network and use it fairly, we'll just end up with yet another Telstra who won't have much incentive to be competitive, let along co-operative with others.
Overall for Australia this proposal is mediocre at best. Whilst I applaud the idea of upgrading Australia's broadband and making us a market leader in terms of broadband penetration the way Senator Conroy is going about it is, as usual, confused and misguided. When it was obvious that his attempt at a fibre to the node was not going to win him the right amount of political points he turned his attention to the Internet Filter. Now that filter is dieing on the vine he's taken the $4.7 billion that was allocated for the new broadband network and tried to make it look like ten times more by saying that investors will make up the rest. Maybe he is just trying to make everyone think that they're dreaming….
Luckily it appears that the IT community is remaining sceptical, as it should with any that Conroy proposes. Triple J's Hack program ran an excellent show yesterday exploring the new proposal and even, interviewing the man himself. Conroy is awkward at the best of times but when he was confronted on the issue of the Internet filter and the new broadband network, he seemed to hit a few brick walls:
Senator Conroy: We said if the trial shows that this cannot be done, then we won't do it.
Interviewer: And what's the definition of cannot be done? What would be the acceptable amount to slow the internet down?
Senator Conroy: Well now your asking me to preempt the outcome of the trial.
Interviewer: No I'm not, you've got to have an understanding of what's a pass and what's a fail. You can't wait 'til the trial finishes and then look back and decide how your going to measure the outcome.
Senator Conroy: Well actually that's how you conduct a trial. You wait to see what the result is and then you make a decision based on the result. If the trial shows that it cannot be done without slowing the internet down then we will not do it.
I'm not sure I can comprehend what he thinks a trial actually is. If you follow the scientific method you'd know that first you formulate a hypothesis, establish the test, formulate the thresholds for successful/unsuccessful and then perform the test. You don't make up your pass/fail from the data, that's just bad science. I once defended Conroy as just a figurehead for a bad idea put forth by Labor to win votes, now I'm sure that isn't the case.
An amazing idea that was twisted and contorted into something that will at best, create another mega-monoply on Australia's telecommunication network. It seems no one will listen to George Santayana:
Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.

Vermont Senator and socialist Bernie Sanders told CNN Sunday the financial elite and Wall Street are responsible for the destruction of the middle class in America.
"People do not understand why the middle class of this country is collapsing at the same time as almost all of the new income and wealth is going to the top one percent," Sanders said.
He also said "the business model of Wall Street is fraud."
CNN's Jake Tapper tried to get Sanders to comment on the flagging campaign of Hillary Clinton, but he zeroed in on the economy and climate change.
Commenting on Sanders' remarks, Zero Hedge noted that Wall Street "will never change until serious jail sentences are handed out for the serious fraud, as opposed to taxpayer bailouts."
Sanders did himself and his campaign a disservice by avoiding Hillary Clinton's connection to Wall Street and the so-called billionaire class.
Clinton's top campaign contributors are Citigroup, Goldman Sachs, JPMorgan Chase, Morgan Stanley, Lehman Brothers and Credit Suisse Group.
On August 25 a progressive group sent a letter to Clinton asking her to support a bill proposed by Sen. Tammy Baldwin (D-Wis.) and Rep. Elijah Cummings (D-Md.) that would make so-called "golden parachutes" for corporate executives illegal and address the "undue and inappropriate corporate influence at the highest levels of government."
In addition to "free" college tuition, Sanders said a key part of his platform is climate change.
"People want us to deal with climate change," he said and claimed the issue is generating "enormous enthusiasm."
Climate change, however, did not even register on a Gallup poll conducted in early August.
The poll indicated the primary concerns of American are the economy, unemployment, the federal debt and deficit, the high cost of living, the gap between rich and poor and taxes.

text: Yara Shahidi to Headline Tory Burch's Inaugural "Embrace Ambition" Summit 10:49 AM PST 3/2/2018 by Sam Reed FACEBOOK TWITTER EMAIL ME Mike Pont/Getty Images (2) Margaret Atwood and Burch herself are also on the speaker lineup. A little ambition never hurt nobody. Tory Burch is out to prove as much by continuing her global #EmbraceAmbition campaign, launched last year, with a brand new component that seeks to empower female entrepreneurs and bust negative stereotypes of success-hungry women. On Thursday, the philanthropic designer announced the inaugural Embrace Ambition summit — going down on April 24 in NYC — which will feature Yara Shahidi, Margaret Atwood and Burch herself speaking on the conference's theme: Confronting Stereotypes and Creating New Norms. Unlike other summits (Girlboss Rallies, Teen Vogue's Summit, Goop's In Goop Health conference — the list goes on), tickets are not available for purchase. Instead, admission to the daylong summit is free but invite only — which the company noted was to "ensure there is a wide cross-section of attendees who are influencers in their communities." (Tickets for many conferences are often upwards of $400, making them unaffordable for many.) However, interested parties — including both men and women — can apply for tickets on the Tory Burch Foundation website. Only one thousand seats are available, but the summit, sponsored by Bank of America, will also be live-streamed. In addition to Burch, Shahidi and Atwood, additional speakers include: Professor Valerie Purdie-Vaughns; activist Marley Dias; engineer Debbie Sterling; entrepreneur Jessica O. Matthews; writer/producer Elisa Pugliese; investor Tony Tjan; and poet Regie Gibson. Burch unveiled the first #EmbraceAmbition campaign last March (which is also Women's History Month) to encourage women and girls to honor those that have championed their hunger for success. The campaign also addresses the "double standard" surrounding ambition. "For years I had bought into the stigma that women should not be ambitious — or at least not show it," said Burch in a release. "Unconscious bias holds back women and any group that is marginalized by stereotypes." FACEBOOK TWITTER EMAIL ME Sam Reed firstname.lastname@example.com @thr

Residential Development in Argentina
Villa Devoto, Buenos Aires – design by Andrés Remy Arquitectos
19 Nov 2012
Devoto House
Villa Devoto, Buenos Aires, Argentina, South America
Contemporary Argentina Property
In this residential project, the impact of the sun path was carefully studied, especially to place the swimming pool. One more time, water takes a big role in the creation of this house. This time the swimming pool is elevated from the ground creating a glass wall that allows views from within and the outside, creating views from different points in the house and focal point outside the house.
This new house in Argentina is formed vertically having a shifting effect. The bedrooms are located in the east overlooking the heart of the house, the garden. The last floor places a spa; having a jacuzzi, sauna and a gym with an exterior space. Privately settled for the couple.
This contemporary house design goes beyond the rigid setting. It translates the urban setting into a natural setting subtlety. It pushes the boundaries of the conventional urban home to a spacious living where one has the best of both, the natural and the urban setting.

The present study aimed to assess the expression of growth arrest‑specific 5 (GAS5) and microRNA (miR)‑21 in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), and attempted to explore their association with clinical features. CD4+ T cells were isolated from peripheral blood of healthy donors and SLE patients by magnetic‑activated cell sorting. GAS5 and miR‑21 expression levels in cluster of differentiation (CD)4+ T cells were measured by reverse‑transcription quantitative polymerase chain reaction. The results revealed that GAS5 and miR‑21 levels were significantly elevated in CD4+ T cells of patients with SLE compared with those in control subjects (P<0.05). Regarding clinical features, SLE patients with ulceration had higher GAS5 expression levels in CD4+ T cells than those without ulceration (P<0.05), and the expression of miR‑21 was significantly higher in CD4+ T cells of SLE patients with low levels of complement component 3 (C3) than in those with normal levels of complement C3 (P<0.05). In conclusion, GAS5 and miR‑21 in CD4+ T cells may serve as potential biomarkers for the diagnosis and monitoring of the progression of SLE.

Victims of crime who are homeless or struggling to pay for housing in Southwest Colorado may be eligible for short-term funding thanks to a new program started by local nonprofits.
In August, Volunteers of America, Housing Solutions of the Southwest and Rise Above Violence launched the Home Again Partnership, which has assisted about 68 households with short-term funding, according to data compiled by the VOA in early December.
A complementary program funded by the U.S. Department of Justice is expected to launch early this year that will provide longer-term transitional housing assistance for victims of domestic violence and sexual assault, said Elizabeth Salkind, executive director of Housing Solutions.
To fund the short-term housing assistance program, nonprofits received almost $300,000 through the Victims of Crime Act to help victims stay in their homes or get them back into housing quickly, said Rachel Bauske Frasure, Southwest Colorado division director for Volunteers of America.
It can help prevent low-income victims of crime from having an eviction notice on their record and cover expenses, such as the first month of rent and utilities.
About 83 percent of those who have participated in the program so far were victims of domestic or family violence, according to the VOA. Many were clients staying in the Southwest Safehouse.
"A little bit of help and a reasonable plan to move forward – that might be the one thing that allows someone to recover from an unsafe situation or get out of an unsafe situation," Salkind said.
Victims of physical assault, elder abuse, sexual assault, child abuse, neglect, burglary, stalking and harassment also have received assistance. But the program is not tied to any one type of crime.
"The key to it is helping people whose homelessness is directly related to the crime," Salkind said.
Victims do not need to have filed a police report to participate in the program. Often, victims of domestic violence are afraid of the repercussions against the perpetrator and other consequences of reporting, Frasure said.
"Filing any kind of police report can be a daunting task," she said.
Nonprofits have provided about $35,000 in financial assistance, according to data compiled in December.
"We're still stretching our legs and beginning to expand beyond La Plata County and Archuleta County," she said.
The nonprofits plan to work with organizations in Montezuma, San Juan and Dolores counties to assist victims in those areas as well.
As part of the grant to provide short-term assistance, the VOA was able to hire a housing coordinator and mobile advocate who can meet with clients in the field, where they feel more comfortable. In the past, VOA hasn't been able to send people into the field because it needed to staff the shelters, Frasure said.
Housing Solutions also has been able to add staff to help victims as part of the additional funding, Salkind said.
The grant also takes the pressure off a small VOA emergency fund that can now be used to relocate victims of domestic violence who need to leave the area by providing gasoline vouchers and airfare.
"Having these additional funds is crucial because we've been pretty limited on the emergency funds we have had in the past," Frasure said.
To fund longer-term transitional housing, the U.S. Justice Department granted $350,000 to Housing Solutions for a three-year program. Housing Solutions plans to partner with VOA, Alternative Horizons and Sexual Assault Services Organization on the grant.
The funding could be used to assist individuals for up to two years. The longer time frame can help victims escape volatile situations, especially if they're dependent on an abuser's home or income, Salkind said.
"They may need to finish education, they might need do some job training, they might have a child care issue they need to address. Those types of things take time, it's just really hard to address them in a month or two," she said.
The long-term housing assistance will be paired with optional counseling, and Salkind expects experts at SASO and outside psychologists will work with some clients. Some people could also take part in financial counseling, she said.
Finding affordable housing to serve victims of crime can be a challenge locally. Private landlords interested in working with the VOA on housing can call its local administrative office at 259-1021.

Here are the Jupyter notebooks for the Numerical Physics part of University of Surrey module Energy, Entropy and Numerical Physics (PHY2063). Some of these notebooks I will go through in lectures, most you will go through in the computing lab sessions. There are about ten notebooks in total, so you should aim to do about one per week. See your first year modules if you need to refresh your Python 3.
Week 1 lecture is the introduction to the course, and introduces numerically solving ordinary differential equations (ODES). Three notebooks for weeks 1 to 3: an intro to Python 3 Jupyer, intro to ODEs, and one on second order ODES.
Week 2 lecture is on data analysis with Python 3. Three notebooks: an intro notebook plus two (you can do just do either one) on the bootstrap method of estimating uncertainties.
Week 4 lecture is on PDEs. Two notebooks: an intro notebook where we solve Laplace's PDE, and the Assignment 1 notebook where you solve the diffusion PDE in one dimension.
Week 7 lecture is on data analysis, including Bayes' theorem, and randomness. Four notebooks: A notebook on random numbers, the Central Limit Theorem of Statistics and an introduction to Monte Carlo methods (via simple example). Notebook on testing a hypothesis (for a linear fit). Notebook introducing Bayes' Theorem. Assignment 2 notebook where you analyse data on radioactive decays.
Additional note on Week 2 material: The Uncertainty estimation notebook takes you through a standard error analysis in a simple example: that of estimating the true value from a set of noisy measurements. It gives the requried standard error formulas, and shows how these formulas rely on the noise being at least roughly Gaussian, if it is not they can fail.
The two bootstrap notebooks introduce the boostrap method. Bootstrap_UncertaintyEstimation.ipynb compares the standard error and bootstrap method for the same problem as in the Uncertainty estimation notebook. This has the advantage of comparing the two but on talking to some of you I realise that it also does not show why so many people use the bootstrap method. Becuase for that example, the standard error method is easy to use and works OK.
To address that problem I have done another bootstrap notebook, that analyses a data set considered by the father of the bootstrap method, Bradley Efron, which shows how the bootstrap is pretty easy to code to calculate the uncertainty in a measure of correlation (Pearson's r) for which we don't have convenient standard error formulas. With that code if you want to calculate the uncertainty in another property, other than Pearson's measure of correlation, you just change a function.
You don't need to do both bootstrap notebooks, either one should be enough to show how it works.

Today's guest blog comes to us from our friends at Mountain Valley Regional Rehabilitation Hospital. Once you've had a chance to read it, we'd love to hear your thoughts. Generating meaningful dialogue around the health issues affecting the people of our state is another way we are working toward our long-term goal of one day making Arizona the Healthiest State in the Nation!
Research shows that a combined focus on medical management and intensive rehabilitation can dramatically improve function and quality of life in individuals living with Parkinson's disease.
"One of the most important things to do while living with Parkinson's disease is to stay active and engaged in some sort of therapy," says Brian Shaw, OTR and Director of Therapy Operations at Mountain Valley Regional Rehabilitation Hospital. "The biggest challenges faced by those living with Parkinson's disease are movement, balance, speech, and depression. "Staying physically active when living with the disease may help to address these challenges."
Shaw says the key is to do activities that challenge the heart and lungs. "Choose exercises that continuously change tempo, activity, and direction so that your body can be constantly moving and shifting in different ways," he says.
Some activities that offer this type of movement include:
In addition, Shaw stresses that medication compliance and timing also helps with movement in Parkinson's patients.
"At Mountain Valley Regional Rehabilitation Hospital, we monitor medications closely so we can improve 'on-times,' where medications are working well. This makes it easier for Parkinson's patients to move and function," Shaw says. "By doing this, and by having patients aware of the most beneficial times to take their medications, mobility can be enhanced which leads to increased independence in performing everyday activities."
The National Institutes of Health shows evidence to suggest that non-compliance with medications results in poor response to therapy and can even increase direct and indirect health care costs.
"It's a two-pronged approach, and each part is important – movement and medication," Shaw says. "By focusing on both together, individuals with Parkinson's disease can expect to improve their movement, balance, and overall quality of life."

Bet the Elite 8 games and Get a Bonus
By: Senior BSPT Expert
Anthony "Ace" Michael (@BsptSportsPicks)
The Elite 8 is Here! We have seen some thrillers thus far and be prepared for a few more! I figured there will be at least one upset, maybe two. I went over the games for today in detail and here is what I came up with:
South Carolina over Florida with an Instant Bonus
The Gamecocks beat #2 Duke and then #3 Baylor easily so why not beat #4 Florida. Seems like the games are getting easier for them. Florida survived Wisconsin but now are doomed!
North Carolina over Kentucky with an Instant Bonus
This is the game we all been waiting and it will be a thriller! I do believe UNC has a slight edge but Kentucky has been on fire and getting better. Great Match Ups offensively and defensively. I think UNC Edges them out!

This is Part 3 of the 3D Lottery in Malaysia Series
For those of you who have a hunger for higher winnings and want to remain in 3D lottery gaming, there are different variations of games on offer. So, strap in your lucky outfit, and prepare your bets!
Note: This section mainly applies to Damacai's 3D games and not Sabah 88 or Special Cashsweep's.
3D Jackpot
This is simply a game of The more you match, the more you win (and maybe just maybe, the jackpot)
How To Win
The table below will illustrate how to win, and what players will win:
*Based on RM2 bet, with Damacai's T&C apply.
How To Play
The minimum bet for this game is RM2 and increments are in multiples of RM2 (RM4, RM6, RM8,…)
Players first pick 3 sets of 3D numbers ranging from 000 to 999 to form a composition of 3D numbers. For example:
Furthermore, to increase your chances of winning, these numbers are automatically boxed(meaning all permutations of the chosen numbers are covered) and the 3D Jackpot result is based on the 3D draw results.
(Game Info: Due to the complexity of the game, there are multiple ways of playing the 3D Jackpot. In fact, always remember that the basis of play is to pick your 3D Numbers in sets of 3.)
Straight Bet
The most basic type of play of all – simply select your favourite 3 sets of numbers from 000 to 999.
Lucky Pick
Lucky Pick is basically a lucky number generated by the lottery's company's generated system. Players can choose to combine 1 or 2 Lucky Pick numbers or opt for all 3 Lucky Pick numbers in their combination.
System Bet
This type of bet is for those of you who have more than 3 favourite 3D numbers. Simply speaking, players get to increase their chances of winning by buying combinations of more than just 3 numbers to form their favourite 3D Jackpot combination.
The minimum is 4 sets of numbers to a maximum of 25 sets of 3D numbers and are named accordingly from System Bet 4(SB4) to System Bet 25(SB25).
Players will have the option to select all Self-Picked numbers, a combination of Lucky Pick & Self-Picked numbers or all Lucky Pick 3D numbers.
The table below will illustrate the costs of wagering a System Bet.
Rules of the Game
The minimum pooled prize winning of the game is RM600,000 or any such amount as determined by Damacai will be allocated as the Jackpot pool.
If there is no winner for a particular 3D Jackpot Game draw, a 20% amount(or termed as "snowballed amount") of the current Prize Pool will be added to the minimum Jackpot prize money of RM600,000 for the next immediate draw. If there is still no winner for the next round, the existing snowballed amount will be carried forward to the next draw. The Prize pool is 55% of the total amount of bets accumulated for each 3D Jackpot draw.
As a result, each winning is entitled to claim on Prize Category only , ie the highest Prize Category.
It is likely that there may be more than one player winning the Jackpot and as a result, the prize will be divided amongst the winning players based on the weightage of bets wagered.
For Example:
There are 3 winners with the following bets:
Winner A bet RM2
Winner B bet RM6
Winner C bet RM10
Hence, Winner A will be entitled to 2/18 (or 1/9) of the Jackpot prize, Winner B will win 6/18 of the prize whilst Winner C will get 10/18 of the prize.

Safari Prices are likely to increase in October 2019.
Safaris in Ranthambore can get expensive due to price revision. It is noteworthy that in last three seasons there had been no increases in jeep fare & guides fee. However, the fuel prices in India have gone remarkable high during last one year.
Vehicles owners union is trying it best to pursue the park authorities for the increase the price. Several meetings were held in last few days to fix new prices. It is interesting that department has increased Entrances Fee & other charges in last few years.
It will take some more days to finalize things. People are expecting the increase between 50 to 100 rupees for canter and jeeps fares. If guides fee also increases then this could go from 100 to 200 rupees per seat for Canter and jeeps respectively.
Hopefully this should be cleared in last week of September 18. Those who had booked in advance quota, they will have to pay the difference of increase at the time of entry to the National park.
Presently below is the ticket structure for Ranthambore Safari
Canter Safari Charges:
Indian: 650/- INR per person per safari.
Foreign Tourist: 1400/- INR per person per safari.
Jeep Safari Charges:
Indian Tourist: 1000/- INR
Foreign Tourist: 1850/- INR.
NOTE: Service tax and Guide charges not included in above price.

Weight 183.5
I had hash browns cooked on a George Foreman grill for breakfast. They didn't come out very well. I layered them too thick and I was in a hurry. I ate these about 10:30am
The victims.
Shredded in processor.
Blood Glucose Level (BGL) 85 at noon.
I had a can of these potatoes at 12:30pm.
BGL at 1pm was 89.
I had this huge baked potato from Jason's Deli at 4:20pm
Potato with ketchup and Cholula hot sauce.
BGL at 4:50pm was 107. One caveat here. I change meters between the morning and evening readings. I used a Contour in the morning, but I ran out of test strips. I went to walmart to get some more strips. They wanted $29 for 25 strips or some nonsense. I bought a Relion meter and 50 strips for $26. But the readings on the Relion are a lot higher than the Contour. Luckily I have another meter at home. I have a Nova Max Plus to use and compare reading with the Relion. The Relion meter is reading about 10 points more than the Nova Max.
So I felt great all day yesterday. I had lots of energy and felt light. I did have trouble falling to sleep. I wasn't tired. My pulse felt a little elevated but not by much, maybe 10 beats more than usual.
This morning 2/11/14, I weighed in at 181.5. That is 2lbs difference from yesterday. I feel great this morning. Pulse before rising was 61bpm. This is about 10 beats above my normal resting heart rate. BGL was 91 this morning.

There are already plenty of disturbances during games such as an overly enthusiastic crowd or a trash-talking opponent. While you can choose to ignore these, some distractions are not quite easy to disregard; like the cold weather.
Depending on the sport, dressing for games during the cold weather days may vary, but most have the same focus, which is to keep your extremities warm. To break it down further, here are some tips to keep warm during those cold weather games. This guide also applies to spectators.
Long sleeve undershirts are made with thicker material than regular undershirts and can be worn under jerseys. The inside should have a fleece lining that will insulate the warmth.
Leggings come in a variety of styles and may not always be an option depending on your sport, but they do come in fitted and compression so that they can be easily worn underneath your uniform. They keep you and your muscles warm.
Spectators can wear mittens to keep their hands warm, but it would be ideal for athletes to wear gloves, for obvious reasons. Athletes still need to full use of their fingers when playing the game. For baseball players, there are even cold weather batting gloves designed specifically for the cold weather; they are durable and more importantly, not bulky.
As you may know, most the body's heat escapes through the head which is why wearing a cap is essential during cold weather games. Wear one that is thick enough to retain heat while also being long enough to cover your ears.
Most people say that they feel the most coldness in their feet which is why you shouldn't forget to wear either extra socks or very thick socks. Wool socks do a great job of insulating the heat. Pack an extra pair in case they get wet from sweat during the game.
Other tips to staying warm
Vaseline seems to be a trick that many professional athletes use to help protect them from cold. Rubbing some on your face, arms, or anywhere your skin is exposed can help soothe your skin from that prickly sensation you get when the cold wind hits you.
Hydration is important before, during, and after a game. During cold weather games, hot chocolate or even chicken broth is a great way to refuel during halftime while also keeping your body temperature up. However, be mindful of how much you intake as you run the risk of all those fluids sloshing around in your belly. The last thing you want it to vomit during the game.

IAS Fellow's Seminar - Relative autonomy, socio-cultural tractories and the emergence of something new
The concept of emergence brings to fore issues of scale and level of analysis. At the level of the species, 'fully modern human', the concept of emergence is one that applies to all of us. Current western ideology argues for the primacy of individual creativity. Anthropologists used to be focused on something in between — cultures, societies, groups, and the differences between them. Today many anthropologists have become increasingly uncomfortable with difference because all they see around them is mergence, relationships in an interconnected world that seem to challenge any concept of boundary. And yet we continue to see all around us groups that resist incorporation within larger entities and that want to live with their difference.
Our focus is on one of those societies, Yolngu society, to show how people can create new institutions that face in two directions – inwards to their 'world' of difference and outwards from it. We will argue that human beings can do this because of the complexity of social worlds, the fact that they are characterised by the relative autonomy of their components – such as language, kinship system, hierarchy, mode of subsistence. Continuing societies are particular articulations of these relatively autonomous components, and these articulations may shift over time — coherence is always emergent. In periods of stability the structures that keep these relatively autonomous components in place and adjusting to one another create the coherence, the predictability, the intersubjectivity that makes it possible to exist and to act socially in the world. In times of rapid social change the property of relative autonomy allows groups the space to remake themselves, and fit into and influence newly emerging contexts out of which new bodies of practice emerge. We will illustrate this process with a concrete example of a new institution that has emerged out of a trajectory of change in mortuary practices as Yolngu society adjusts to the impact of European colonisation.
Fellows' seminars take place on Monday lunchtimes in the seminar room at Cosin's Hall.
Places are limited and so any academic colleagues interested in attending a seminar should contact the Institute in advance to reserve a place.
The aim of these seminars is to develop new thinking on the big issues that are of current concern/interest for the Fellows . Each Fellow is asked to present a core idea that informs their current work, or a problem that they are tackling, that could benefit from cross-disciplinary thinking. These seminars are informal and designed to encourage discussion.

Win An Audi R8 . . . For The Day
Would you like to drive an Audi R8? Of course you would! Well, here's your chance. Audi is running a Twitter contest and if you win you could find yourself behind the wheel of Audi's flagship R8.
All you need to do to win is think up some great reasons (in 140 characters or less) why you should be selected for this sweet opportunity and then tweet it out using the #WantAnR8 hashtag. The #hashtag contest runs from today through October 29, 2012 and there will be eight winners selected during that time.
And what does "winning" look like? Winners will be asked to choose between "a day with an Audi R8 or the Audi sportscar experience R8 One-Day Program at Infineon Raceway in a Sonoma, CA," according to Audi's official rules. Huh? Sports car experience at a raceway, did you say? If the choice is between schlepping that beautiful machine through commuter traffic or racing it – the way God intended – on a racetrack in sunny California, I think the choice is clear.
Joanne McCoy was the impetus for the campaign, by the way – so we should all thank her. Last year, she tweeted to Audi (pretty relentlessly, it seems from her blog!), eventually using the #WantAnR8 hashtag and lo and behold – Audi drove a brand new R8 to her house for her to use over the weekend. After that, the official campaign kicked off and garnered more than 75,000 hashtag tweets.
I wonder how many tweets they'll get this year? I know a few dozen will come from me, give or take a hundred. How about you?

Letterkenny lost out at home to Cavan on Saturday as Storm Ciara battered Dave Gallaher Park.
Letterkenny 7 Cavan 19
Letterkenny opted to play with the gale force wind at their backs for the first half.
However they were unable to take full advantage and a try from Sean Curran, converted by Bryan McGinley, was the only score of the first half.
As the conditions worsened in the second half, Cavan pinned Letterkenny inside their 22 and the home side were unable to escape.
The men in red ran in three second half tries to earn a fully deserved win on the road against a callow Letterkenny side.
Next up for Letterkenny is a trip to Stormont to take on Civil Service NI.
Kevin Arenhold's team now sit in fourth place in the league table and a win away is essential if they are to maintain any hope of making the promotion playoff.

The Pope, Philly and patient care: How Jefferson Health is preparing for the papal visit
In anticipation of Pope Francis' impending arrival, the city of Philadelphia, hospitals included, is moving heaven and earth to accommodate his safety and well-being when he comes to town.
Pope Francis is scheduled to visit Philly on Sept. 26 and 27 to join the World Meeting of Families, the world's largest Catholic gathering of families that is held every three years. This trip marks Pope Francis' first visit to the U.S. since becoming the head of the Catholic Church.
An expected 1.5 million visitors will travel to Philadelphia to see the pope. The city is undergoing extensive preparations for the pope's visit, including closing down major highways and the Delaware River-spanning Benjamin Franklin Bridge. Additionally, the city is closing off a 4.7-square-mile area that will be closed to inbound traffic, according to a Philly.com report.
Six hospitals lie within that traffic box, according to the report: Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania, Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, Penn Presbyterian Medical Center, Pennsylvania Hospital, Hahnemann University Hospital and Jefferson University Hospital.
With these six major hospitals shut off to traffic, it begs the question of how they will continue to provide care as patients — and employees — are unable to get to the hospitals or leave them.
"The biggest obstacle is people can't get into or out of the area that's walled off, the security zone," says Judd Hollander, MD, associate dean for strategic health initiatives at the Sidney Kimmel Medical College at Thomas Jefferson University. "The security zone for the visit happens to include most of the healthcare centers in the city of Philadelphia."
As far as patient care goes, there are concerns regarding patients who need to get to the hospital.
"Probably the most worrisome thing is what happens to people who get sick who now can't get to any of these hospitals," says Dr. Hollander, citing examples like patients with chronic illnesses, pregnant women and patients with new injuries that can't access healthcare services.
However, other concerns include patients who are ready to leave the hospital. And, how do employees get to and from work?
Jefferson University Hospital is using this as an opportunity to launch its telemedicine service JeffConnect to the broader public. At the end of June, the system launched JeffConnect for employees. In light of the pope's visit, the hospital decided to extend the services during the papal visit to anybody in Philadelphia.
JeffConnect's licensed physicians are in New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Delaware, so individuals who are physically in any of those three states can use JeffConnect to access care if needed. Patients using the JeffConnect app can see which emergency medicine physicians are available, undergo a video consultation and then determine the best course of action, whether that be a simple at-home remedy or a visit to a nearby urgent care center.
Dr. Hollander says the hospital felt an obligation to extend care services through JeffConnect. If people need healthcare services, they should be able to receive them, regardless of the pope's presence.
"Hearing and being peripherally involved in the pope's visit and the logistical hurdles we had, it became clear to me that we had an obligation," Dr. Hollander says. "People don't need to fight through walls to get to see their provider….We have an ethical obligation to provide care to the patients who want to seek care during this time frame."
So far, the technology has worked well for Jefferson employees, Dr. Hollander says, but in anticipation of the million plus visitors, the hospital is tweaking the offerings slightly. For example, telehealth consultations are generally provided by a physician on site at the hospital, but since the population density of Philadelphia is expected to skyrocket during the pope's visit, concerns about cellular signals and Internet connectivity arise. So, the hospital set up a provider who will be available for telemedicine consults located remotely from the hospital and is unlikely to be affected by connectivity issues. "We're really thinking through the logistics of this."
In addition to increasing access to care through telemedicine, Jefferson University Hospital is also modifying other processes. For example, surgical volume will be down, the hospital cut down on appointments for those two days, increased staffing, extended urgent care center hours and asked for volunteers to spend extra hours in the hospital.
The other hospitals in the traffic box are also making similar adjustments, according to the Philly.com report. And, Temple University Hospital, which is outside of the blocked-off zone, is expected to absorb some of the overflow and patients unable to access the six within the zone.
Even once the pope leaves Philadelphia and life resumes as normal, Jefferson plans to continue offering JeffConnect as another way for patients to receive care. "We are wholeheartedly committed as part of our major growth strategy to provide care to patients when and where they want it, and how they want it," Dr. Hollander says.
Although hospital processes and patient care will be slightly modified during the pope's visit, Dr. Hollander says this is a once in a lifetime event, and it's exciting to see the city reacting and preparing. "You get to see the city gear up and [feel] all the hype around it," Dr. Hollander says. "I think it's going to be really inspiring for a lot of people who follow the pope, and even for those from a different religion….He does neat stuff. As a person, you have to be totally in awe of him."

Part Time PSC student, Luke David has made it into the latest issue of Capture Magazine's Top 20 Emerging, Australian Photographers, 2018 in the Travel Category! Luke is currently in his first year at PSC and is studying the 40 week Pro Photography Certificate.
We sat down with Luke to ask him what has helped contribute to his success.
Congratulations Luke! You are fairly new to photography so what inspired you to take it up?
"Thanks. What inspired me to take up photography was actually travelling. I try to go overseas every year and was taking hundreds of the usual tourist point and shoot, snap shots. I work in retail and there was a really great camera on sale a few years ago that I bought with the idea to take some "proper shots". I went to the USA the next year and shot everything on auto. Some images worked, some didn't, but I was getting really inspired just the same. Then before a trip to Japan, I decided "RIGHT! I am going to learn how to use this camera" So I downloaded all the info, read all the blogs and watched all the videos and when I started taking shots in Japan, I started to really love it. I put some images into a few competitions and they did well. I got really excited about creating images and wanted to learn more and more."
How do you think doing a course so far has helped you?
"I think when you are self taught, you go down a narrow branch, and shoot what you really love, whether it's landscapes or something else, and you'll get better at that genre, but you won't learn much outside of that. I wanted to do a course for two main reasons: Firstly to have a group of peers that were interested in the same thing as I was and get feedback from people with different experiences. Secondly to learn about all those other things that I haven't exposed myself to, so to broaden my understanding while making sure I know all the basic stuff."
That's really great. Has the course delivered?
"There are some things I was very afraid of doing before I started. For example, I was afraid of pushing the ISO past a certain point, because high ISO makes noise, and everything I had read taught me that 'noise is horrible'. I would never go above 600 ISO and I was always disappointed in my results in things like indoor action, but in the course, I was encouraged to step outside my limited thinking, because to get the shot, that's what you sometimes have to do. Learning to make conscious decisions technically and creatively has been really great also. The tutors are really great too with their constructional feedback. They teach you the technical side and then how to control that, or when to ignore it, to produce images that are far more creative."
Tell us about your imagery.
"I have been doing a lot of landscapes, because it's a way I can do travel photography at home. I enjoy finding a place out in the country or on the coast, and spending some time immersing myself in the surroundings and finding images. It's kind of like a mini overseas trip.
When I go travelling overseas, I do all the touristy stuff in the middle of the day. I like to spend a few hours in the morning and evening going out and spending time in a spot that I may have found online before I left home. Although I tend to have an idea in my head about what I want, I love to walk around, look around and let the images come. Sometimes the best shots are ones that I never planned.
While I've been at PSC, as part of the "personal expression" element of my folio, I have been exploring digital infra-red. Seeing film infrared shots from Richard Moss really got me interested in this. Infra-red gives the series a really reduced colour palette and gives it an almost other-worldly feel. What started out as an urban landscape series has now somehow morphed into a post-apocalyptic narrative with some of my poor friends roped in as models!"
What have been your most successful images or images that you really enjoyed doing?
"My most successful images have come from trips to Hong Kong and Japan.In Japan I was still learning and experimenting, so it was about being in the right place at the right time and being ready as opposed to planning a shot. My favourite image was taken while I was in a temple in Nikko. It was in the hills with big cedar trees and it was closing time. I was walking down a damp, grey, stone path with green moss on the sides. It was dark and atmospheric and there was this shrine attendant who was walking down the path in a bright white top and a bright red dress. I knew this had the makings of an amazing image, and just as I shot, she turned back and looked behind her, so I caught her face in profile. I submitted this one to a few minor competitions and it won one of them.
In Hong Kong I wanted to shoot the landmarks, city scapes, markets and night shots. I have a series of about six of those that have been pretty successful as well. My favourite was of Montane Mansions, which is one of the last places in Hong Kong where you can get the feel of the Kowloon Walled City. Shot from the ground looking straight up, the apartments on all four sides feel so close together that they could almost be touching. It is such a different sense of personal space and close quarter living than what we are used to. The series that made it into the Capture top 10 came from this Hong Kong trip.
As far as during my studies, the images I love the most are from ones where I have really learnt to choose my exposure and expose for the shadows or highlights. One of these is a homeless guy coming out of 7/11 with a slurpy. He walked into a perfect square of sunlight, he's illuminated in the sun against a shadowed background, with his perfect shadow against a brick wall caught in the square of sunlight.
I've never really concentrated on capturing people so I also really enjoyed Anzac Day where I forced myself to get up for the dawn service and spent the day shooting marchers while they were waiting to start."
Where do you want to go next with your photography?
"I would like to keep doing the course and in three or four years, start thinking about a career change, in whatever direction that will take. For the moment I just want to open myself up to the experience, learn as much as I can and be able to discuss my images with peers, taking part in that community and to see where it takes me. I want to learn all the technical skills, to soak up all the information I can. Over the course I really want to try and find a voice in my image making. I want to get exposure to all the different styles and find out what really speaks to me.
The school has really impressed me with the environment, tutors and also my peers. There is a great range of age and experience amongst the students. Everyone has made a conscious decision to come and learn, that's a really key ingredient that makes for a great collaborative and challenging (in a good way) learning environment. Over only 6 months I have learnt so much, my images have improved and I've found myself creating images I never would have considered if I hadn't taken up the course."
PSC Congratulates Luke David on his success and we look forward to seeing more of his creative captures throughout the year!
If you are considering a career change or wanting to take your passion for photography to the next level our part time courses are a perfect opportunity. Our last courses for 2018 start October 10! We often find that once you start your study here at PSC you'll want to keep going to the next level! Don't miss out!

'Dignity lost half its value yesterday' began a news story in Saturday's Daily Telegraph. As I read on, it turned out that Dignity is a large firm of undertakers, but I had momentarily taken these opening words as a general statement about our times. As such, they seem well supported by the facts.
As I walked across Horse Guards one day last week, everything seemed eerily quiet. No one was about, and the only object I could see was a sleek limousine parked where one is not allowed to park, facing Downing Street. As I approached, I could read its number-plate, which said '1 VEN'. Was this the beginning of the long-awaited Corbyn coup, backed by fraternal aid from Nicolás Maduro? I cannot yet answer my own question for certain, because although Theresa May is still referred to as the 'Prime Minister' and even holds 'cabinet meetings', no one seriously suggests that she — or they — transact the business of government. Supporters of Boris Johnson announce what he will say at these meetings ('£100 million extra a week for the Health Service, please'). Supporters of Philip Hammond (a select group) announce that he told Boris that he (Boris) is not allowed to say that sort of thing because he is only Foreign Secretary and Mr Hammond is Chancellor of the Exchequer. This power vacuum ought to be exciting. Strangely, though, it is not. Nicholas Boles, quoting Orwell, speaks of a government of 'boiled rabbits'. Sir Nicholas Soames, who has embarked on a brilliant second career as an upper-class Tweet, calls it 'dulldulldull'. At least the phenomenon is not new. 'Lost was the Nation's sense, nor could be found,' lamented Pope nearly 300 years ago. His 'Dunciad' is an entire poem about the reign of the goddess Dulness: ' The Vapour mild o'er each Committee crept/ Unfinished Treaties in each Office slept;/ And Chiefless Armies doz'd out the Campaign;/ And Navies yawned for Orders on the Main.' The funny thing is that it suits the chief players for the goddess to retain her throne for the time being, at least until the date of Brexit. The even funnier thing is that they might be right to keep her in place. What's the alternative? (In fairness to politicians, I ought to point out that the 'Dunciad' is actually about journalists. As such, it remains highly apposite as we in the mainstream media wrestle with the effects of technological change.)
It is quite unnecessary and truly sad that the Archbishop of Canterbury has painted himself into a corner over the case of George Bell, the heroic, long-dead Bishop of Chichester. Last week, several historians who have studied Bell wrote to him to say that the Carlile report (which the Archbishop had himself commissioned) had clearly shown that the church's procedures in finding that Bell had abused a girl in the late 1940s were shockingly deficient. Archbishop Welby replied to them this week, emotionally, but without answering their point. He compared the case of Bell with that of Peter Ball, the former Bishop of Gloucester, who had many powerful defenders who thought they knew him well, but was rightly convicted of abusing young men and sent to prison. There is no similarity, because the evidence against Ball was huge, and that against Bell is negligible. The Archbishop says how important it is to take accusations of child abuse seriously. It certainly is, but the key question (which he evades by saying only that the church 'acknowledges' the accusation against Bell) is whether the accusation is true. Does he believe that it is? If he does, he must say why. He has to use the methods of justice. The Carlile report shows that even the civil law's threshold of belief — the balance of probabilities — is not reached in this case. The Archbishop reveals his anxieties by referring in his letter to the church's forthcoming appearance before the Independent Inquiry into Child Sexual Abuse, where he fears accusations of 'cover-up'. By condemning a man without proper evidence, he is not showing the 'transparency' which he says the church seeks. He is covering up the scale of the church's mistake.
John Barton, who has just died, was a brilliant interpreter of Shakespeare. He propagated his idea of how the plays should be spoken in the early, glorious years of the RSC. It dominated my generation, and probably still dominates the rising one. The idea was to be more 'natural' and accord less reverence to the verse. It worked, but in a way it was just as 'mannered' as the Victorian/Edwardian approach which it displaced. Modernising innovations, though often necessary improvements, inevitably become dated themselves, like once-groovy haircuts. It would be fascinating if a modern director were to try seriously to realise a new production in the manner of someone like Henry Irving or Beerbohm Tree. The interpretation of Shakespeare does not progressively improve over time in the way that, say, brain surgery does. It reflects the strengths and weaknesses of the age in which it appears.
Learned readers have answered, or at least elucidated, my question (Notes, 20 January) about whether one can be 'sat' (or 'stood'). The first entry comes from Martin Taylor, the distinguished member of the Financial Policy Committee of the Bank of England (but not writing in that capacity). He suggests that the usage comes from his native north of England ('I were sat' meaning 'I was sitting'). He points out that it parallels the now archaic 'He is gone', which he thinks derived from Norman French and Middle English grammar, in which the verb 'to be' is used to form the perfect tense of intransitive verbs. He wants to know why it was that English 'migrated to "have" to form the present perfect for all verbs'. He also identifies a new usage. When he goes to a GP appointment, and enters his name on the surgery's tablet, it says, 'Mr Taylor, you have been arrived'.
