Problems with hard water
These "hardness ions" cause two major kinds of problems:
* The metal ions react with soaps and calcium sensitive detergents), hindering their ability to lather properly and forming an unsightly precipitate the familiar scum or "bathtub ring". Presence of "hardness ions" also inhibits the cleaning effect of detergent formulations.
* More seriously, calcium and magnesium carbonates tend to precipitate out as adherent solids on the surfaces of pipes and especially on the hot heat exchanger surfaces of boilers. The resulting scale buildup can restrict water flow in pipes. In boilers, the deposits act as thermal insulation that impedes the flow of heat into the water; this not only reduces heating efficiency, but allows the metal to overheat which, in a pressurized system, can lead to catastrophic failure.
Conventional water-softening devices intended for household use depend on an ion-exchange resin in which "hardness" ions trade places with sodium that are electrostatically bound to the anionic functional groups of the polymeric resin . A class of minerals known as zeolites also exhibit ion-exchange properties and were widely used in earlier water softeners.

Actor T.J. Miller arrested for allegedly making false bomb threat on Amtrak train
Albert L. Ortega/Getty Images(NEW YORK) — Deadpool and former Silicon Valley star T.J. Miller was arrested by the FBI in Connecticut after he was accused of falsely calling in a bomb threat while on an Amtrak train.
Miller was on an Amtrak train from Washington to New York when he called 911 to report that a female passenger "has a bomb in her bag," court records said. However, Miller gave the incorrect train number, which led police to stop the wrong train, #2256, order passengers off and conduct a search.
When police followed up with Miller, who was actually on train #2258, he allegedly gave a different account of the woman he believed to be carrying the bomb.
"The officer detected slurring in Miller's voice and asked if he had consumed alcohol that day," court records said. "Miller replied that he had consumed one glass of red wine. Asked if he suffered from mental illness, Miller replied 'No, absolutely not. This is the first time I've ever made a call like this before. I am worried for everyone on that train.'"
Eventually Miller's train pulled into Westport, CT, where Amtrak police discovered the actor had been removed from the train in New York "owing to his intoxication." He'd allegedly had two glasses of wine and two double scotch and sodas and had "exchanged profanity with a female" passenger in a different row.
Last May, Miller and Silicon Valley mutually agreed to part ways. In December, the embattled actor was arrested for battery and freed on $20,000 bail. Also in December, he denied allegations of sexual assault made by an anonymous former classmate from George Washington University.
Miller voices a character in the current movie Ready Player One, and will reprise his role as Weasel in Deadpool 2, due out May 18.

A better understanding of the physical phenomenon involved during the curing process is a prerequisite step to propose a rational design procedure. This paper describes results from a laboratory investigation of the interaction between crumb rubber and different composition bitumen. The physical blending of the two components is achieved according to the Wet Process method with different proportions and size distributions of the rubber powder. Rubber particles' swelling in bitumen is assessed thanks to a centrifuging process, allowing a satisfactory separation of the residual bitumen and the rubber particles phases. Rheological measurements are carried out on base components, as well as on the final composite, and its residual constituting phases. The rubber swelling ratio, ranging from 200 to 400%, demonstrates that the final rubber phase is mainly constituted with absorbed bitumen. This phase shows a higher temperature sensitive behaviour slightly different from the one exhibited by the base rubber. The thermal sensitivity is clearly illustrated by the rheological measurements. On the other hand, the residual bitumen shows a significant hardening which is more marked for base bitumen with low aromatic oils content. The proposed experimental protocol improves the knowledge on the interactions in the asphalt rubber blends and could be a basis for a rational design approach. 000125865 6531_ $$aRubber 000125865 6531_ $$aBitumen 000125865 6531_ $$aSwelling 000125865 6531_ $$aRheology 000125865 6531_ $$aCentrifugation 000125865 700__ $$aOuld-Henia, M. 000125865 700__ $$0241970$$g105012$$aDumont, A.-G. 000125865 7112_ $$dOctober 25-27, 2006$$cPalm Springs, California, USA$$aAsphalt Rubber Conference 000125865 8564_ $$zURL 000125865 8564_ $$uhttps://infoscience.epfl.ch/record/125865/files/Paper%20OuldHenia%20AR2006.doc$$zn/a$$s342016 000125865 909C0 $$xU10259$$0252146$$pLAVOC 000125865 909CO $$ooai:infoscience.tind.io:125865$$qGLOBAL_SET$$qENAC$$pconf 000125865 937__ $$aLAVOC-CONF-2008-048 000125865 973__ $$rREVIEWED$$sPUBLISHED$$aEPFL 000125865 980__ $$aCONF

I'm sitting down today with Dr. Jennifer Stagg, a practicing naturopathic physician and the founder and medical director of Whole Health Wellness Center in Connecticut.
How to Unzip Your Genes
I'm always excited to have a doctor on the show, but I'm especially looking forward to geeking out over today's topic — genetic testing — which I think is a promising tool for discovering the keys to your own personal health.
Dr. Stagg authored an amazing book called Unzip Your Genes that explains in more detail everything we touch on in the podcast today. Make sure to check it out in the podcast resources below!
In This Episode You'll Learn
- how to use your genes as a guide for diet and lifestyle
- why genes don't tell us who we are but who we can be (an important difference!)
- the way that connection and community directly affect your health and your genes
- what transgenerational genetics is and how it can affect your life
- why your health before pregnancy determines much of baby's health after
- how the Dutch famine has opened the way for genetic research on generational health
- why we are more susceptible to getting sick in the winter (all moms knew this already!)
- how diversity of fruits and vegetables in the diet is more important than the amount
- and more!

Special Thanks to Today's Sponsors
This episode is brought to you by Vivos. This is something we recently invested in for our entire family and we are absolutely loving it. Here's why: data shows that the nutrition we receive in utero determines our palate development and how narrow or open our airway and jaw structure are. So a narrow mouth, jaw, and airway increase the chances of needing braces, of getting sleep apnea, breathing difficulties, and much more. Vivos created a non-invasive, non-surgical, easy way of widening the maxilla, jaw, and airway. So for our kids, this means that they get to avoid braces and it's also made my husband's sleep apnea disappear. (He also stopped snoring, which is a bonus for me.) I'll be writing more about this soon but you can check them out in the meantime at wellnessmama.com/go/vivos.
This episode is also sponsored by Four Sigmatic. You've heard me talk about Four Sigmatic before because I love their coffees, teas, and hot chocolates. They're delicious combinations of coffee, cocoa, and adaptogen herbs, now with the benefits of Chaga, Cordyceps, and Lion's Mane for an extra brain boost and clean energy. My longtime favorite is their instant coffee but lately I've also really been enjoying their caffeine-free blends.

Get out and Explore
Heart Healthy Activities this February
By Shannon Traphagen
The idea of being active in colder weather isn't always appealing. But February is heart health month and maintaining a healthy lifestyle requires that we keep our bodies moving. Fortunately, Buffalo has many fun heart-healthy activities to try even when it's cold outside.
Visit Explore and More Children's Museum in East Aurora the first and third Saturday monthly from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Kids can enjoy healthy activities like kid's yoga, Zumba, Jump Bunch Sports, and more.
Try Independent Health's Healthy Options Cooking Classes on Tuesday February 6, 20, and 27 from 6-8 p.m. Visit www.healthyoptionsbuffalo.com/calendar, and sign up to learn simple and healthy cooking techniques with a group of your closest friends, or a creative health inspired date night!
On February 15 from 6-7:30 p.m., the Albright Knox Art Gallery is hosting a tour of the museum's collections followed by a Vinyasa yoga class with Power Yoga Buffalo's Steve Procknal, and a Gentle Yoga class on February 20 from 3-4 p.m. Space is limited and registration and pre-payment are required. Register online or call 716-270-8292.
For those who don't mind bundling-up to enjoy outdoor activities, give fat biking a try. A fat bike is an off-road bicycle with oversized tires and electric peddle assistance, designed for riding on soft, unstable terrain, such as snow, sand, and mud. Biking is a safe way to exercise outside, and a fat bike is designed for winter weather. Wilkeson Pointe offers bike rentals for winter riding (716-851-5553). Great trails include Harris Hill, Sprague Brook Park, and Hunter's Creek. You can find more winter trails at the WNY Mountain Bike Association's website at www.wnymba.com.
If winter bicycling isn't for you, then strap on some snow shoes! Snow shoeing offers a great exercise and cardio experience, and makes walking outdoors fun. There are some amazing snow shoe trails in Buffalo, including Royalton Ravine in Niagara County, Beaver Meadow, Bond Lake County Park in Lewiston, the Amherst Nature trail, Chestnut Ridge Park in Orchard Park, and Knox Farm in East Aurora. Gear for Adventure sports apparel store in Hamburg rents out snow shoes for just $15 a day, and $5 for each additional day after that.
Simply getting outdoors and going for a 30-minute walk daily is enough to boost the immune system and maintain a heart healthy. A study by the American Journal of Medicine found that older women who walked each day for an entire year reported half the number of colds and other ailments than women who didn't exercise during the same period. Whether male or female, with the family or your beloved pet, walking is a great heart healthy activity no matter the season. This winter get out and explore all that Western New York has to offer, making sure to take special precautions and choosing an indoor activity when we are experiencing dangerous wind chills.
Check out more great things to do at Buffalo Healthy Living's online calendar at www.BuffaloHealthyLiving.com/events and in our Healthy Happenings listing on page 54 of this issue.

A Broken Appointment sets the Thomas Hardy poem of the same title. The text describes a heart broken man who wishes his love interest would give him the gift of showing up for their romantic meeting, even if he knows she has no interest in him. The music reflects the sense of missed love through a chiming motive in the piano, referencing the ever-ticking clock marching on even through heartbreak.
You did not come,
And marching Time drew on, and wore me numb. —
Yet less for loss of your dear presence there
Than that I thus found lacking in your make
That high compassion which can overbear
Reluctance for pure lovingkindness' sake
Grieved I, when, as the hope-hour stroked its sum,
You did not come.
You love me not.
And love alone can lend you loyalty;
–I know and knew it. But, unto the store
Of human deeds divine in all but name,
Was it not worth a little hour or more
To add yet this: Once you, a woman, came
To soothe a time-torn man; even though it be
You love not me?

Here we are in the Northern Shiverpeaks, home of the Dwarves (and a few humans). This area is noticeably more colder than Ascalon, so unless you are built like a Dwarf, I would advise you to wear something to keep you warm.
During my travels here I will discuss what I know about the Dwarves a bit and in more detail later on when I get to the Southern Shiverpeaks.
I entered Traveler's Vale from the outpost, Yak's Bend. There I quickly noticed some caravan guards. Remembering what happened to the incredibly frail Ascalon Strikers in Flame Temple Corridor, I was determined to help keep these men alive.
Oddly enough, whenever we defeated foes in our path and I tried to communicate with them, they just kept walking past me. They must be very determined to get somewhere fast, because they literally walk right into mobs of enemies without a second though!
I followed these caravan guards all the way to Borlis Pass. Still they would not talk to me. I guess they don't care to associate with adventurers.
Here are some small ice caves. I would have liked to inspect them closer, but the terrain prevented me from doing so. (That and my sidekicks were not too happy about lowering me down on a rope.)
Here is where Ascalonians get their first look at what Stone Summit architecture looks like. You can tell it belongs to them by the chains.
From what I have read about Dwarven history, before the Searing they were a (mostly) unified race. A civil war broke out after the Searing because the Deldrimor Dwarves associated with other races which enraged their xenophobic brethren the Stone Summit.
Not far from the structures pictured above, I noticed a lot of wooden planks littering the side of path. I'm not sure of their purpose.
When I venture into the Iron Horse Mine next time, I will have much more to talk about.

Exits: Ascalon Foothills and Iron Horse Mine

|conf = "default"
|Sun, 26 Jul 2009 11:03:55 GMT
Hi All I'm sure my question is probably answered somewhere in the documentation, but I can't find it and can't get my head around what I can find. So please take pity on me and help if you can. I'm struggling to understand some aspects of the "conf" attribute of the dependency tag. For example: <dependency org="commons-lang" name="commons-lang" rev="2.0" /> which doesn't have a configuration specified gives me the error: "impossible to ivy retrieve: java.lang.RuntimeException: problem during retrieve of PurpleTube#IvyAnt: java.lang.RuntimeException: Multiple artifacts of the module commons-lang#commons-lang;2.0 are retrieved to the same file! Update the retrieve pattern to fix this error." This only seems to be since rc2. Prior to that I would get a number of files including commons-lang-2.0.jar. If I add the default configuration: <dependency org="commons-lang" name="commons-lang" rev="2.0" conf="default"/> I get commons-lang-2.0.jar in a subdirectory of the ivy.lib.dir called default (prior to rc2 there was no default directory). So what is actually going on here? What's the difference between having the default configuration and not having the default configuration, other than the extra directory? Setting up my own configurations: <configurations> <conf name="common" description="required for all configurations" visibility="private" /> <conf name="build" extends="common" description="required for the build process only" /> </configurations> <dependencies> <dependency org="commons-lang" name="commons-lang" rev="2.0" conf="common->default"/> </dependencies> I think I'm quite comfortable with and understand, it's just the conf = "default" stuff that's getting the better of me. Any help much appreciated! -- Thanks Paul Paul Grenyer e: email@example.com w: http://www.marauder-consulting.co.uk b: paulgrenyer.blogspot.com

Well, not really. My old man dislikes fishing and would only do it under duress. He also might not appreciate the humor of this gift. But some of your more cheesy Dads will.
Meet the original Singing Big Mouth Trout. You've seen him dozens of times, probably on some random visit to Bed, Bath and Beyond, but never actually had the gumption to purchase him. Well, why not? He's cute, portable, has a motion sensor, and turns and sings to you (or Dad. Whoever's closest. He's not discriminating). This is the original fishie, not that new Tommy Trout thing that sings "Joy To the World." This old mounted mechanized beast sings "Take Me to The River," for obvious reasons, and "Angel of the Morning" (a pure mystery). This guy is a classic, just like Dad.
Mr. Aquatic Serenade is currently on sale at Cyberbrands for the ultra-low price of $19.99, plus S&H. Order and install him for at least five minutes of hilarity.

Texas GOP Rep. Ted Poe, founder of the Congressional Victim's Rights Caucus, blasted the NFL's two-game suspension of Baltimore Ravens' running back Ray Rice on Friday. A video emerged of Rice dragging his unconscious then-fiancee out of an elevator after allegedly assaulting her. Local prosecutors dropped assault charges under a plea deal, but Poe said the light punishment from the NFL was "pathetic."
"The league has harsher punishments for "offenses" such as eating unapproved foods or taking fertility drugs without prior approval," Poe noted about the sanction, which will force Rice to sit out two games. "Those who commit violence against women – even star football players – cannot get away with it. With the NFL's decision, yet another one just did. NFL greed and stardom scores points over justice."

Nike will take over the NBA's uniform production for the 2017-18 season, and on Tuesday the company unveiled the first looks at what changes they will be bringing to uniforms next season.
We'll have to wait to see what designs come for each team, but across the league there are some sweeping changes to the uniforms that will be available for selection. The biggest difference is that Nike is getting rid of the "home" and "road" distinctions for uniforms, instead calling them the "Association Edition" and "Icon Edition." While they will look mostly similar to the home and road uniforms of old, teams will have more freedom in picking what they wear on a nightly basis.
Coinciding with the introduction of the new uniforms, the NBA is eliminating its "Home" and "Road" uniform designations. Beginning with the 2017-18 season, home teams will pick which of their uniforms will be worn at all home games and visiting teams will choose a contrasting uniform within their own assortment.

The Duhks are a folk fusion band, formed in 2002 in Winnipeg, Canada. Featuring banjo, fiddle, guitar, percussion, and vocals, The Duhks blend folk music together with various Canadian and American traditional styles, including soul, gospel, old-time country string, and zydeco. The band also commonly plays traditional Irish dance music, integrating Latin-influenced percussion as well as often Celtic- and Cajun-influenced fiddle-playing.
In 2002, Appalachian-influenced clawhammer banjo player Leonard Podolak founded The Duhks in Winnipeg with singer Jessee Havey, fiddle player Tania Elizabeth, and Celtic-influenced guitarist Jordan McConnell—all Canadian musicians. The name "Duhks" comes from Scruj MacDuhk, Podolak's defunct previous band.[1]
The Duhks' first album, Your Daughters & Your Sons (2003), was nominated for a Juno award, leading to a contract with Sugar Hill Records. A new percussionist, Latin-influenced Scott Senior, joined the band, who then released their eponymous second album (2005), produced by Béla Fleck, which won a Juno for Best Roots & Traditional Album by a Group. "Heaven's My Home," from their third album, Migrations (2006)—produced by Tim O'Brien—was nominated for the 2007 Grammy award for Best Country Performance By A Duo Or Group With Vocal.[1]
In March 2007, Jessee Havey left the band to pursue other interests and was replaced as the lead singer by Sarah Dugas. The group was joined in November 2007 by Sarah's brother, Christian Dugas, as a replacement for percussionist Scott Senior, who left to spend more time with his family.[2] In October 2007, The Duhks Sustainability Project was launched to raise awareness about ways to live a more economically viable and ecologically sustainable lifestyle.[3] The following year, the website FestivaLink released The Duhks' first live album as well as the first to feature Sarah Dugas as lead vocalist and Christian Dugas as percussionist; the album is a compilation of old and new songs, largely recorded at a post-Earth Day benefit in Nederland, Colorado on April 2008.
Fast Paced World (2008), produced by Jay Joyce, was the first official studio album to feature the Dugas siblings. It also received a Juno nomination for Best Roots & Traditional Album. In 2009, FestivaLink released The Duhks' second live album, featuring several guest musicians and recorded primarily at that year's MerleFest in North Carolina.
On January 15, 2010, fiddler Tania Elizabeth announced that she would be moving on.[4][5] She was temporarily replaced by fiddler Casey Driessen. As of 2010, the whole band was on semi-hiatus, playing far fewer shows. In April 2011, the band announced on their website that this pace would continue, including some shows with former members Havey and Senior, as the Dugas siblings had begun recording and performing as an independent duo.
In January 2012, the band announced a reformation of the band featuring original lead vocalist Jessee Havey, fiddler Tania Elizabeth, Jordan McConnell on guitar, Scott Senior on percussion, and Leonard Podolak on banjo. This lineup did some reunion tours before McConnell, Senior, and Elizabeth left and Havey and Podolak went on to scout a new lineup. The band then did tours with a lineup consisting of new American members, including Rosie Newton (temporary fiddler, who toured with the band for a six-month period ending in the winter of 2014), temporary guitarist Jefferson Hamer, and permanent new percussionist Kevin Garcia. The band entered the studio in December 2013 after successfully using crowdsource funding site Indiegogo to raise money for the recording of a new album, originally planned for release in spring of 2014.[6]
In June 2014, The Duhks officially released their new album, Beyond the Blue. Their permanent new lineup now also includes Québécois multi-instrumentalist Colin Savoie-Levac on guitar as of 2014 and the Swedish fiddler Anna Lindblad on violin as of January 2015.
In the spring of 2016, the band announced on their Facebook page that they would no longer be touring, and have not done any shows since!

Prayerful preparation
When the disciples were unable to cast out a demon (even though they had done so on previous occasions), Jesus was able to step in and heal the afflicted boy. Later on, Jesus addressed the source of their ineffectiveness.
Mark 9:28-29 After He went into a house, His disciples asked Him privately, "Why couldn't we drive it out?" And He told them, "This kind can come out by nothing but prayer and fasting."
There was always something that bothered me about the whole scene, because prior to casting out the demon…Jesus didn't pray.
An account of this situation is given by Matthew, Mark, and Luke; however, each retelling of the events say nothing about Jesus praying prior to rebuking the demon and ordering it to come out of the boy. In the several stories recounted in the gospels, Jesus would give thanks to God or look to Heaven before performing a miracle…but in this instance, when He says that casting out the demon requires prayer – there is no record of a prayer being offered.
This situation has left me puzzled for a while. After making as many observations as I could, interpreting the text as well as I could, and then even thinking about the apparent contradiction for some length of time…I was still stuck. It's at times like these (only after exhausting our own personal abilities), that it is acceptable to consult a commentary.
Several commentators didn't address my question – you'll find that some writers don't want to talk about the difficult or potentially controversial passages. However, the few commentators that I did find willing to discuss the passage made an interesting point, that perhaps I'm thinking to narrowly when it comes to Christ's prescription of prayer in order for the disciples to cast out the demon.
Since Jesus didn't pray before commanding the demon to leave the boy, prayer is evidently not a one-time evocation of God's power and authority. Jesus' own prayer life modeled one of complete dependency on the Father. This incident would have been a powerful lesson for the disciples, teaching them that they would need to constantly rely on God in order to achieve any mission He would give them. This type of reliance would be both evidenced by and maintained by their prayer time with the Father.
The same rings true for us as well. When we maintain our reliance on the Father is when we are able to achieve the mission He's given us. When we are challenged, there will be no need to invoke God's authority by making a loud, thunderous prayer, rather we will already be prepared to act because we know the One we're relying on.

Anxiety begin to grip the Tibetans as Chadrel Rinpoche, the 62-year-old former abbot of Tashi Lhunpo Monastery and Head of the Search Committee to identify the successor of the 10th Panchen Lama, fail to make an appearance even after expiry of his six years' prison term May this year.

Drapchi Prison: Tibet's most dreaded prison
The Tibetan Centre for Human Rights and Democracy (TCHRD) today released a report entitled "Drapchi Prison: Tibet's Most Dreaded Prison". The 70-page report provides insight into one of the most notorious prisons in Chinese-occupied Tibet based on reliable information gathered over the years. "Through this report, one can discern the contradiction between the official Chinese statement with that of actual reality concerning the prison condition, treatment of prisoners, and total number of Tibetan political prisoners within Tibet," stated Mr. Lobsang Nyandak Zayul, the Executive Director of TCHRD.Read More »

Suns down Knicks for ninth straight win
Phoenix, AZ (Sports Network) – Steve Nash scored 19 points and dished out nine
assists to lead the Phoenix Suns over the New York Knicks, 85-81, at America
West Arena.
Raja Bell added 17 points and Shawn Marion had 14 points and 10 rebounds for
the Suns, who won their ninth straight contest. Eddie House recorded 15
points off the bench for Phoenix, which won despite not hitting a shot from
the field over the final 6:24 of the game.
Stephon Marbury had a game-high 28 points, but it was not enough for the
Knicks, who have dropped two straight and four of five.
The game was close throughout and went into the fourth quarter tied 64-64.
However, Phoenix scored the first four points of the stanza, both on House
jumpers, and later extended to an 80-72 advantage on Bell's three-pointer
just before the midway point of the quarter.
New York responded by scoring seven of the next nine points to make it a one
possession game. Marbury's jumper with 2 1/2 minutes left drew the Knicks
within 82-79.
The teams then went back-and-forth a number of times, coming up empty on each
try. New York could have made it a one-point game with 22 seconds left, but
Marbury missed a runner and Kurt Thomas came down with the rebound and was
fouled by Marbury.
The foul did not result in free throws, but on the ensuing inbounds pass
Leandro Barbosa was fouled by Malik Rose with 19.4 seconds on the clock.
Barbosa hit 1-of-2 from the line to make it a two-possession contest, 83-79.
Marbury did hit a layup with 10 seconds left, but Nash hit both free throws
with 9.4 left to ice the game.
Thomas, who came to the Suns in an offseason trade from the Knicks, ended with
two points and 12 rebounds.
New York's Quentin Richardson, who came to the Knicks in the trade, continues
to be away from the team as he tends to personal business in Chicago.
Richardson's brother was shot dead earlier this week and the funeral will be
on Saturday.
New York rookie Channing Frye, who played college ball at the University of
Arizona, ended with eight points and nine rebounds. Fellow rookie Nate
Robinson had 14 points. He was also apart of the Thomas-Richardson trade.
Game Notes
Eddy Curry had 11 points for New York…The Knicks fell to 3-10 on the
road…Phoenix improved to 9-4 at home…The Knicks shot 43.6 percent for the
game…The Suns hit 41.7 percent of their shots…Boris Diaw hit a pair of
free throws four minutes into the fourth quarter, marking the Suns' first
attempts from the line in the game…Phoenix ended 7-of-8 from the line…New
York hit 10-of-15 free throws.

In honor of Martin Luther King, Jr. and his quote, "Darkness cannot drive our darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that."
We decided to gather a few ways you can add an inspirational touch to your work space. Below are four quick changes to get your creative juices flowing.
1.) Color block your minimal space with furniture, art or even a plant. Adding little pops of color will give you a more creative atmosphere and there is science behind color psychology. Two colors in particular provoked interesting reactions and I had to share them.
- Blue- Causes the body to produce calming chemicals and triggers a sense of loyalty. It also makes people more productive.
- Yellow- WARNING- this color has been said to trigger tempers in people and more babies cry in yellow rooms than any other color. Although it is considered an optimistic color and may speed up your metabolism and trigger concentration. I would recommend using it sparingly as it is a lot for an eye to take in.
2.) Add a standing desk option. Slumping in a chair can slow down your metabolism and reduce your calorie burn to a third of the rate. Sitting or standing in moderation is ideal, so adding a standing desk will just help you find a routine that works best for you. When you actively decide to choose healthy choices, your self-esteem is higher- clearing out wasted energy on negative thoughts thus opening up more space for inspiration and creativity.
3.) Less Clutter. Fewer Distractions. We suggest getting a unique filing system. Everyone has a square-shaped filing cabinet, where is the fun in mediocre office furniture. When you increase your physical space by giving things a proper home on your desk or in a drawer/cabinet, you'll notice when it is not where it should be. Keeping tidy makes the mind focus on order and what is to be expected. Where as a mess equals stress and who wants that?
4.) Add wallpaper or a Mural on one wall. Creating this personal touch and visual divider will stimulate a more inspirational working space…depending on what you put up there. Don't expect wallpaper with gravestones to enlighten your creative thinking. We suggest adding something that pertains to your hobbies or reminds you of a place you're able to relax and let your mind be open to anything.
There are plenty of other ways to create an inspirational working environment, these are just a few. If you have quick tips that you have used to spruce up your workplace, please share them with us on Facebook or Twitter.

MOSCOW, Oct 31 (Reuters) - The next manned mission to the International Space Station may launch on Dec. 3, state news agency TASS cited Russian space agency Roscosmos as saying on Wednesday.
Roscosmos also said that the crew of the ongoing mission may return home on Dec. 20, TASS reported.
The launch of the Russian rocket Soyuz with two astronauts on board failed this month because of a faulty sensor, a Roscosmos official said earlier on Wednesday. (Reporting by Maria Kiselyova Writing by Andrey Kuzmin Editing by Alison Williams)

The company behind the $40 million transformation of the Port Douglas Sheraton Mirage is set to embark on a campaign to sell luxury apartments within Airlie Beach's first 5-star resort.
Fullshare Group which is one of China's Top 100 private enterprises, has accumulated a number of assets on Queensland's eastern seaboard in recent years.
Fullshare, which is the owner of the Mirage brand in Australia, assumed control of Sheraton Mirage Port Douglas in 2011 and has also acquired the Airlie Beach project and Laguna Quays south of Airlie Beach for a future resort development.
The company has only recently introduced its Mirage brand into a luxury apartment project formerly known as Whisper Bay at Airlie Beach and is looking to transform the facility into a fully-fledged resort.
Fullshare has also lodged a building application with the Whitsunday Shire Council to incorporate a fine dining restaurant, spa and gymnasium into the development.
At the same time, Fullshare has embarked on a major sales campaign to sell down some of the 80 remaining apartments in the Airlie Beach development to be known as Mirage Whitsundays.

Connect: The Secret LinkedIn Playbook To Generate Leads, Build Relationships, And Dramatically Increase Your Sales
Wall Street Journal Bestseller
How many times have you heard someone say, "it's not what you know, it's who you know"?
We all know the importance of relationships in creating and growing a business, and yet most of us don't know exactly what to do about it. We go to networking events, meet associates for coffee, or maybe even email prospective clients, but it's never quite enough.
The challenge that faces us, and the problem with these activities, is that they don't scale. The number of people you need to need to meet in order to advance your business, build your influence, and fill the top of your sales funnel is simply too many to handle.
This book contains the solution.
In Connect, Josh Turner lays out a step-by-step process to meet and connect with the people that matter to your business at scale. The techniques contained in these pages will teach you to use new tools and marketing channels to build relationships without being confined by time.

Merging magnetic blobs fuel the sun's huge plasma eruptions
Before coronal mass ejections, plasma shoots up, breaks apart and then comes together again
Solar plasma eruptions are the sum of many parts, a new look at a 2013 coronal mass ejection shows.
These bright, energetic bursts happen when loops of magnetism in the sun's wispy outer atmosphere, or corona, suddenly snap and send plasma and charged particles hurtling through space (SN Online: 8/16/17).
But it was unclear how coronal mass ejections, or CMEs, get started. One theory suggests that a twisted tube of magnetic field lines called a flux rope hangs out on the solar surface for hours or days before a sudden perturbation sends it expanding off the solar surface.
Another idea is that the sun's magnetic field lines are forced so close together that the lines break and recombine with each other. The energy of that magnetic reconnection forms a short-lived flux rope that quickly erupts.
"We do not know which comes first," the flux rope or the reconnection, says solar physicist Bernhard Kliem of the University of Potsdam in Germany.
Kliem and his colleagues scrutinized a CME recorded on May 13, 2013, by NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory. They found that before it erupted, a vertical sheet of plasma split into blobs, marking breaking and merging magnetic field lines. Over about half an hour, the blobs shot upward and merged into a large flux rope, which briefly arced over the solar surface before erupting into space. That quick growth supports the idea that CMEs grow through magnetic reconnection, the team, led by Tingyu Gou and Rui Liu of the University of Science and Technology of China in Hefei, reports March 6 in Science Advances.
"This was actually surprising, that this reconnection was rather fast," Kliem says. That speedy setup might make it more difficult to predict when CMEs are about to occur. That's too bad because, when aimed at Earth, these bursts cause auroras and can knock out power grids and damage satellites.
A STAR'S CME IS BORN The sun's coronal mass ejections seem to result from many small plasma blobs combining. In this video, enhanced data from NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory shows a vertical sheet of plasma suddenly break into blobs at about 17 seconds. Shortly after, the blobs rearrange themselves into a loop, and the loop bursts off the sun's surface. At 30 seconds, more distant observations from the SOHO telescope show the CME's progress. (A second, unrelated CME erupts off the right side of the sun near the video's end.)

Honoring the fallen: F3 Nation Convergence + Patriot 5K BB
Photo Post "Extra Mile" BOM w/ TC Fred (Coast Guard 1952-1960″
H.E. remembers at convergence Starting off the Patriot 5K
- Event Video to follow courtesy of F3 GasHouse – HIPPA
(Posted on behalf of F3 – Little Mike)
Even the rain couldn't keep approx. ~100 PAX from posting in the Gloom at Symphony Park for the 5th annual Memorial Day convergence. Checkpoint, Maverick, H.E. and Gnarly Goat had the Q and gathered two concentric COPs in the field that usually sees blankets and rumps for Pops in the Park. Today it saw the standard exercises, intermingled with extended planks, during which H.E. and Gnarly Goat shared stories of men with whom they served who gave their lives for their country. They told us the stories of their gallantry and they told us about them as men – very moving tributes and vivid descriptions of what others have been called to do on our behalf and how they gave so much so that we and others around the world could have what we sometimes take for granted. The planks were long and burned, but how could we complain or groan while we heard about the tribulations that these men so willingly endured.
After 4 tributes from H.E. and 3 from Gnarly Goat, the PAX broke into four groups that took over the SouthPark AO, returning to a giant COT across from Coca Cola HQ, where the traditional COT was replaced by a callout of those we were remembering on that day.
After COT, many of those present posted for the Patriot Military Family Foundation 5k, where SPEED FOR NEED launched the race with Korean War Veteran Fred Peterson (Coast Guard, 1952-1960) in the orange Racing Chair. Italian Job gave us a recap about his experience driving Fred with the Team:
"Today we ran as an honor to and in remembrance of the men and women who paid the ultimate sacrifice so we can enjoy our freedoms today. We acknowledge that all gave some and some gave all. It was a privilege to honor our fallen heroes by pushing our new friend and Korean Conflict Veteran, Fred. I cannot think of a more fitting way to spend the morning than sharing fellowship and camaraderie with the men I consider my brothers.
Fred was a trooper, riding strong as the Chair Commander being pushed by men of all service branches. It brought a tear to my eye and a smile to my face to see him grin as General David Guyton pushed his chariot at what seemed like Mach 2. It warmed my heart to see men, women, and children smile and clap as the flags flew high and Fred sped by. Thank you Speed for Need for the opportunity to push the chariots in honor of our fallen soldiers."
-Italian Job
The PAX showed F3Strong again for the Go the Extra Mile – with shovel flags at the head of the phalanx of runners making an Extra Mile loop in honor of those service members who went and continue to go the Extra Mile in service to us and our country.
And while we went (about) an Extra Mile after a full morning of a beat down, it was so small compared to what others have sacrificed. After the race, I got an email with a devotion from Chuck Colson about Memorial Day – examining the movie Saving Private Ryan and the immense sacrifice that its story represented:
The film Saving Private Ryan opens with a harrowingly realistic reenactment of the D-Day invasion of Normandy. We see the action through the eyes of Captain John Miller, played by Tom Hanks. Following D-Day, Hanks learns that he is to lead a search party to find a certain Private Ryan, whose three brothers have just been killed in action. The last living son is to be sent home to his grieving mother.
No sooner do Miller and his party begin their search for Ryan behind German lines than we see a Pandora's box of moral questions opened: Why are all these men risking their lives to save one man? Don't they have mothers too? Are they just pawns in some cynical public relations maneuver by the Pentagon?
As first one and then another of the soldiers in the rescue party are killed, the questioning intensifies. After all, just how much is one man's life worth?
The answer comes in a stunning scene at the end of the film. It's now fifty years later, and Private Ryan is visiting Captain Miller's grave. "I lived my life the best I could," he says to Miller's gravestone. "I hope in your eyes I've earned what you've done for me."
But we can see that he has gnawing doubts. Clearly distraught, Ryan turns to his wife: "Tell me I've led a good life," he implores. "Tell me I'm a good man."
"You are," she answers him.
But the answer is not convincing. How could it be? Behind Ryan's question is the inescapable reality that however good we are and however much we have accomplished, we can never repay such a debt. How could we? We have to admit with humility that we cannot: We can only express our gratitude. In fact, columnist George Will has called the film "a summons to gratitude" for the generation that died so we might live.
The parallel to the gospel is powerful: God himself gave his Son's life that we might live.
Are you grateful for the price Christ paid for you? How do you express that gratitude?
-Little Mike

Wendy Haglund
"I'm 53 years old and I think maybe now they're [family and friends] finally starting to realize that I'm deaf. [Laughing] It was a big adjustment for them."
Born in 1954, Wendie Haglund lived in Worcester her whole life. Growing up she had chronic ear infections and cholesteatomas. However, her life changed forever when she was 32 and she became deaf. She was diagnosed with tumors behind her brain and she lost her hearing overnight. Wendie faces many difficulties because people often mistake her for being hearing because of how well she speaks. She fits into neither the hearing nor the deaf world, and it's something that she will deal with for the rest of her life. However, Wendie is an amazing woman who remains positive and continues to give back to her community through volunteer work.

Under Siege relies on violence rather than substanceUnder Siege
Directed by Andrew Davis.
Written by J. F. Lawton.
Starring Steven Seagal
and Tommy Lee Jones.
Loews Fresh Pond
By Joshua Andresen
Staff Reporter
Under Siege is a poorly written film in which the violent action sequences provide the only substance. Steven Seagal's martial arts scenes are impressive and Tommy Lee Jones gives a compelling portrayal of his character, but these alone do not redeem the film.
Seagal is Casey Ryback, a former Navy SEAL and combat operative in Vietnam, the Middle East, and Panama. In Under Siege he is the cook on the Navy's most powerful battleship, the USS Missouri, as it sails across the Pacific with a skeleton crew before being decommissioned. Mid-voyage, a group of hijackers led by William Strannix (Tommy Lee Jones) and Commander Krill (Gary Busey) disguised as entertainers and caterers for the Captain's birthday party take over the ship. Their plan is to steal the Missouri's nuclear arsenal. Ryback must nearly single-handedly take on the group and save the nuclear weapons from falling into the wrong hands.
This hackneyed plot is not developed in any vaguely interesting ways. The "good guys" and the "bad guys" are established immediately and the story merely becomes a test of who can eliminate the other first. The sole narrative action is Ryback wandering around the ship trying to come up with as many new and creative ways as possible to kill off the bad guys. There are no suspenseful sequences or crafted schemes. The scenes in which Ryback communicates with the Pentagon's Crisis Action Center are a nice break, though the amount of faith the Pentagon puts in Ryback is rather unbelievable.
The few action sequences that portray Seagal's mastery of martial arts are a treat to watch, however. Seagal was the first non-Asian to establish a martial arts academy in Japan, and his dojo is still in operation, with over 2000 students. His skills are nicely showcased in the few scenes that call for them. Still, the action of this movie comprises too much shooting and not enough finesse.
The biggest failing of this film is the leading female role. Jordan Tate (Erika Eleniak) is a Playboy centerfold who is hired to jump out of the Captain's birthday cake. She gets caught in the middle of the clash and ends up tagging along with Seagal. Her character is annoyingly weak. When Ryback tries to give her a gun she tells him she has two rules: "I don't date musicians and I don't kill people." Eventually she comes around, of course, but never ceases to be annoying. Perhaps a strong protagonist other than Seagal was not desired.
, Jones portrays a cunning and diabolical former CIA operative gone bad. Strannix remains calm after each of Ryback's successes in defeating his men until the final showdown between the two. Jones delivers a powerful monologue explaining his motives before Strannix and Ryback battle it out hand to hand. This final battle is one of the most delightful scenes of the film.
As a whole, though, the movie fails. From the weak writing to the mostly gratuitous violence, Under Siege is badly done. Fans of Steven Seagal will enjoy this movie, but everyone else should reconsider.

Life Threatening? No
Write-up: This case was reported by a healthcare professional and described the occurrence of intussusception in a 3-month-old female subject who was vaccinated with Rotarix (GlaxoSmithKline). Previous and/or concurrent vaccination included Pentaxim, Sanofi Pasteur MSD (intramuscular; left thigh) given on 6 December 2007, 8 January 2008 and 5 February 2008; Heberboivac, Heber Biotec (intramuscular; right thigh) given on 6 December 2007, 8 January 2008; Rotarix (GlaxoSmithKline; oral) given on 8 January 2008. On 5 February 2008 the subject received 2nd dose of Rotarix (oral). The subject was healthy and responded well to previous vaccinations without experienced any adverse event. On 8 February 2008, 3 days after vaccination with Rotarix, the subject developed symptoms of bloody stools and vomiting. The subject was taken to the emergency room as the subject got worse. Relevant test included abdominal x-ray which showed dilated gas-filled bowel loops in central abdomen with fluid levels, gas visible in descending colon, obstruction of ileus, no visible air in bowel walls, heart and lung fields appear normal. The physician advised her admission but the subject''s parents apparently refused it. On 09 February 2008 the subject was taken back to hospital where resuscitation was started but the subject passed away on the same day at 9:00. The autopsy was being planned for the 12th February 2008. The subject died due to intussusception which was probably related to vaccination with Rotarix. Follow up received on 26 February 2008: After a phone communication the subject''s parents did not want to give a copy of the autopsy. The subject''s mother mentioned that all the documentation of the autopsy was frozen. According to the subject''s mother the autopsy report stated that the subject died due to obstruction of the ileum caused by the Rotarix. Follow up received on 22 April 2008: The autopsy report (performed on 12 February 2008) stated: Cause of death included bowel obstruction with intussusception and necrosis of the sm

There is a time of day fuelled with emotion, where speed is of the essence, infinite patience is required along with copious amounts of coffee. Yes, it's an event we mothers dread day after day – getting out of the house in the morning. Known for my tardiness pre-kids, the very idea of arriving anywhere on time with two little munchkins in tow is simply a reality that we all have to accept will never come to fruition. None-the-less with every rising sun I optimistically attempt to beat my leaving the house (LTH) personal best (PB) with renewed vigour. My kids of course do not share in this desire and instead manage to turn the seemingly simple action of heading out of the front door into an episode of the Krypton Factor, requiring more skill and mental agility as each day passes. They're trying to break me, and believe me some days they're close, but sanity usually prevails and we make it to our destination, albeit far later than required.
And so it beings…nappy change x2, clothes change x2, breakfast x2, oh yes and then there is me! I have managed to get shower and breakfast consumption down to a slim 7 minutes. On the odd occasion when I am feeling a little frivolous I like to throw caution to the wind and push for a whole 8.5 minutes, but I pay for that extra 90 seconds in additional crying time so I keep luxury shower days to a minimum.
Once the three of us are fed and dressed (which can vary anywhere from 45 minutes to 2 hour 20 minutes) we attempt to make it to the outside world. Each day a new series of obstacles stands in my way of reaching my LTH PB, which is often scuppered by things like last min poops (one of the boys, not me), babba puke on fresh change of clothes (mine and bubs), big bubs deciding to have a Picasso moment and unleashing the finger paints on any white surface he can find or the increasingly common 'where are my keys' game. Latest answer to that question was in the bottom of a wellington boot which added an extra 35 minutes to our LTH challenge.
To add to the morning drama we live in an apartment that doubles up as the world's largest sauna thanks to a combination of wall to wall windows and Barcelona's sunny climate. Not wanting to sound ungrateful for the weather (how very British), but when attempting to get kids ready for the outside, where the temperature is at least 10 degrees lower than inside, putting a coat on before leaving the house can feel like a mild form of torture. It is therefore KEY that coats are the VERY last thing to take place in our routine. Before you suggest waiting until we get outside to jacket them up, if you think I can get two kids outside without strapping them into a buggy you are sorely mistaken.
Finally, everyone is dressed and ready to go. Wrong. Eldest son has decided now is the exact time he has to re-connect with his animal figures and he cannot possibly be parted from them for such a minor reason as leaving the house. In an attempt to lure him to the buggy with songs and promises of all the fun he's going to have once we actually get outside (in the background the coated-up little one is screaming from heat stroke) he will not give in and it is clear to me we are not getting out of this house without a monkey and a tiger accompanying us.
Two and a half tantrums later and I can finally see the light at the end of the tunnel – well the beaming bulbs of our communal hallway. Front door opens and we manage to make it to the lift. Ah, the lift. Normally the presence of a lift provides one with a sense of ease and convenience, but when you add a double buggy into the picture it is simply one more hurdle in my LTH challenge. Every morning me, the double buggy – adorned with nappy bag, kids backpacks, handbag, and of course kids – squeeze our way (and I really do mean squeeze) into the small metal cube and pray it will transport us down to the ground floor trouble-free. Entering the lift involves new and exciting ways on how best to contort ourselves to ensure that the sensor allows the lift door to close. On this particular morning having manoeuvred myself into a space between the buggy and kids legs my eldest son spots a leaf (this week's obsession is leaves) on the floor and cries out as loud as he can for that leaf. Noooooo. I had almost reached my PB when of all things a leaf throws me off course. "FISH, FISH, FISH MAMA" (oh yes, I should have said he calls leaves fish). Not wanting to ever deny a boy's love of nature and happy he's craving contact with mother earth over the iPad I decide I must get this fish, sorry leaf, at all costs. In a move that would do a Russian gymnast proud I grab the foliage as the lift doors open and we are on our way. As we step outside I check my watch and think to myself not quite the PB I was hoping for, be we've made it with minimum tears. As this point my phone rings and after rummaging around one of the possible 17 places it could be, it's hubbie on the other end: "running a bit late are we…"

November 15, 2017 – Konica Minolta Healthcare Americas Inc. has been awarded a group purchasing agreement for healthcare information technology (IT) with Premier. Effective Jan. 1, 2018, the new three-year agreement allows Premier members, in both acute and non-acute settings, to take advantage of special pricing and terms pre-negotiated by Premier for the Exa platform.
Exa's custom workflow engine design and advanced toolsets make it an ideal solution across a broad array of imaging services, according to Konica Minolta, from the enterprise to specialty-based clinics. The Exa platform is comprised of multiple modules including picture archiving and communication system (PACS), radiology information system (RIS), electronic health record (EHR) and specialty viewers, supporting digital breast tomosynthesis and cardiovascular imaging. The Exa modules can be used together as an integrated solution or individually with a facilities existing software investments. It offers:
- A diagnostic-quality zero footprint universal viewer and vendor neutral archive for DICOM and non-DICOM images;
- Server-Side Rendering for fast access to large files, such as 3-D mammography, with no prefetching required; and
- Cybersecurity, with no data transferred to or stored on workstations to minimize unwanted exposure to patient data.
The Exa platform was designed to enable each site to design its own preferred imaging workflow, very simply, with drag-and-drop tools. The entire step-by-step process can be customized quickly and easily.
Exa also facilitates the sharing of multispecialty medical images and reports via referring physician, patient and attorney portals while also enabling outside facilities to safely access pertinent patient data via Image Exchange, which eliminates the need for sending or bringing image CDs. The platform also features a custom workflow engine design and reporting dashboard. With the Performance Dashboards, facilities can measure daily exam volume, radiologist performance and referring physicians ordering preferences. Administrators and department managers can easily create their own customized reports to efficiently get the data that is most relevant for their practice or organization.

Narcotics agents seized more than $7,000 worth of narcotics and cash during two unrelated traffic stops that landed four people in jail, police said.
Narcotics agents seized more than $7,000 worth of narcotics and cash during two unrelated traffic stops that landed four people in jail, police said.
Authur Guidroz, 27, 216 Greenville St., Raceland and Justin Davis, 26, 496 St. Phillip St., were arrested during a Thursday stop on La. 182 in Raceland. Police say they had nearly $700 in cash and dozens of Ecstasy pills in their possession.
Guidroz's girlfriend, Jawanda Miller, 28, 276 Greenville St., Raceland, is accused of interfering with arresting officers.
Harold Twiggs III, 40, 119 Vivian St., Houma, was stopped about midnight Friday after agents spotted him driving erratically and without headlights on Bayou Blue Road, police said. A search allegedly turned up two plastic bags — one containing thousands of dollars and another that held suspected cocaine.
Task-force agents stopped Guidroz, who was driving without a license, and Davis based on a tip that they had illegal narcotics on them, Lafourche sheriff's spokesman Brennan Matherne said.
Guidroz denied the allegations, but a drug-sniffing dog led officers to the cash, drugs and paraphernalia — $681, a pound of marijuana, 50 Ecstasy pills and a digital scale, Matherne said.
Guidroz and Davis each face multiple drug charges. Guidroz is additionally charged with resisting arrest and driving without a license.
Miller, who showed up after the search was under way, shouted at officers and repeatedly got in the way, police said. She is charged with interfering with officers.
All three are free on bond. Guidroz's was set at $10,150. Davis' bond is $24,250. Miller's is $1,000.
Twiggs allegedly had cocaine, 20 pain pills, a dozen muscle relaxers, 48 anti-anxiety pills, assorted other pills, digital skills, a supply of small plastic bags and $2,156 in cash on him when arrested. Some was found in a plastic bag tucked in the waistband of his pants, police said, and the rest was ferreted out by a drug-sniffing dog.
The street value of the drugs seized from Twiggs is $1,465, police said.
Twiggs faces multiple drug charges as well as allegations of improper-lane use and resisting arrest. He is free from the Lafourche Parish jail after posting an $85,050 bond.
