WFT Architects was organized in 1983 with a commitment to the culturally and visually strong indigenous qualities of the State of Mississippi and its region. The work of architecture and urban planning can both learn from and complement these qualities, and with this understanding, Wayne F. Timmer founded his firm of which he is the principal/owner. He is licensed in Mississippi and Louisiana.
With a concern for quality and client service, the firm was formed with the concept of remaining small to allow for the full involvement by staff and principal in all phases of the work. As such, a reputation has been gained for providing high quality architectural and urban planning services with an emphasis on design excellence.
Our capability and expertise is evident in our long-term client relationships, history of successful projects and well-rounded individual credentials. Great pride is taken in our easy accessibility to our clients and the excellent rapport which is established. An emphasis is placed upon design and needs programming as integral components of the service provided in order to ensure their total integration into all phases of design.

Almost 1,500 people linked with the Free Aceh Movement (Gam) are being released in all.
Four high-ranking rebel members were among those released.
Observers say the move marks another milestone towards peace after more than 29 years of conflict between Jakarta and Gam, but many obstacles remain.
The releases are among the key confidence-building measures agreed in the peace deal on 15 August.
Acehnese rebels who fled the country to claim asylum abroad will also be encouraged to return and play a role in political life.
However, those jailed for criminal rather than political offences are not covered by the peace deal and are likely to remain in jail.
Those released on Wednesday include senior Gam figures Tenguk Kamaruza, Amni bin Ahmad Marzuki, Nashiruddin bin Ahemed and Muhammad Usman bin Lampo Awe, the AFP news agency reported.
All four were arrested for treason in 2003.
"Our release is a result of our struggle for the past three decades," Tenguk Kamaruza told reporters outside jail.
But he added: "We respect [the truce] and the two sides are committed to implement the agreed points."
Many of the released prisoners were greeted by tearful relatives, but some had no family to welcome them, such as 40-year-old Kardiman, who lost many relatives to last December's tsunami.
"Now I'm alone. My house is gone and my two children and wife died in the tsunami," he told AFP.
Troop withdrawal
The BBC's Tim Johnston in Jakarta says aspects of the prisoner release have already proved controversial, with some MPs urging the prisoners to take an oath of allegiance to Indonesia.
But Gam supporters have objected, saying that in the original agreement the releases were unconditional. The idea seems to have been dropped.
The amnesty, announced on Tuesday, came days after Indonesia began its withdrawal of troops from the province.
In return, the rebels have agreed to hand in their weapons, in a process which is due to start next month.
Some 15,000 people have died in more than 29 years of conflict between the government and Gam.
Observers say this peace package offers the best hope of success in decades.
The Indian Ocean tsunami, which devastated large areas of Aceh province, prompted renewed efforts by the rebels and the Indonesian authorities to end the conflict.

Scouting vs. Sports
An Open Letter on Cub Scouting vs. Sports
In my career as a scouter I have been asked for advice with the dilemma parents and scouts face in feeling like they need to choose between scouting or sports. I am writing this letter to inform you that young boys and girls and their family do not need to choose scouting or sports. The answer is scouting and sports. The Cub Scout program can accommodate the schedule of the youth when it comes to extra-curricular activities.
The fact is the Cub Scout program includes a sport component (individual and team) at every age level. We also have a program to promote personal fitness and wellness called SCOUTStrong. These program attributes along with other purposes of the scouting program such as character development, personal achievement, and respectful relationships will further enhance your son or daughter's sport abilities and achievements. To reinforce these statements, a recent study by Tufts University has found that "boys and girls who are involved in sporting activities and scouting yield a higher aptitude rate for Helping Others and Doing the Right Thing over boys and girls who are just in sporting programs." For the detailed study, please visit YouTube and search for "Scouting Works" or click here.
The key to making this marriage of commitments work is early and straightforward communication between you and your scout leaders so that the proper expectations can be set on both sides. This may mean that you as a parent will need to step in and help your son or daughter complete requirements for some scouting commitments. It also means you need to have a conversation with your coach as well.
I personally know many young boys and girls who have successfully competed and won in local/district/state level sporting events while working toward their scout commitments. It can be done. Please don't make your son or daughter choose, instead, you choose. Choose to give your son or daughter all the opportunities he deserves.
Yours In Scouting,
Jeff AllanNEPA Scouter

The coconut palm tree and the French Polynesian islands. Brought together by the mysterious hand of destiny, no one can imagine the sight of one without bringing the other to mind. Like tranquil giants reaching ever so gracefully towards an indifferent sky in a constant and immutable sort of communion. Docile companions swaying gently under the playful command of the soft trade winds. Silent witnesses of long forgotten adventures and conquest, the coconut palm trees are as much part of the islands as they are part of the Polynesian myth.
And if the tiare flower claims a rightful crown over all the other Polynesian flowers, then without any doubt the coconut palm tree must be its royal counterpart, and their magical union is best translated by the birth of the extraordinary scented oil that is the MONOI de TAHITI.
Beautifully plain but ever so graceful, the coconut palm tree is an unmatched sight against the perfectly blue Polynesian sky. No wonder it has inspired so many a painters and seduced so many a tourist turned photograph for the occasion. But even under such unbounded admiration the Polynesian coconut palm tree remains completely silent as to its mysterious origin and no one knows for sure neither whence he came nor how it reached the magnificent Polynesian shores, a few thousand years ago.
Nevertheless, it was most likely the coconut palm tree that enabled the first Polynesians to survive on what were then hostile lands where nothing grew, neither fruit nor vegetable. It was probably the coconut juice that quenched their thirst when no drinking water was found and the coconut's delicate meat that nourished them when there was nothing else to eat. Generous provider, the coconut palm tree gave them shelter from the intense sun and the abundant rains, he clothed them with its strong leaves and fibers and kept them warm with its burning wood when the skies turned colder.
To this day, the coconut palm remains the most utilized Polynesian island tree and covers approximately 150,00 acres of land. Under favorable conditions, the coconut palm tree grows its first fruits during its 6th year and will roughly produce 60 coconuts per year, from its 10th to its 70th year. As the very young nut begins to form it is completely empty and contains no nutrients. When its size increases, the shell hardens and becomes filled with a transparent liquid that will turn into the precious oil once the coconut is fully grown.
When they are fully mature, the coconuts fall spontaneously form the trees. It is at that time that they are gathered to undergo a long and ancient process, which begins with the extraction of the coconut almonds. Cracking the shell open with the swing of an ax does that once exposed, the two coconut halves are left for several hours in the sun, until the almonds have shrunk enough to be removed and broken into small pieces. The fragments are then taken to special flat wooden barracks covered with sliding metal roofs, which are popularly known, on the Polynesian islands as "coprah dryers". The sliding roofs are only used at night and during the rainy season. Te coprah is left to dry for more than a week until the coconut meat has lost over 90% of its moisture.
Placed into special natural fiber bags, the coconut fragments are shipped to the unique oil mill located on the island of Tahiti where they will be thrown into special machines and grinded to a very fine coco flour. That flour will be heated up a t temperature of 125 degrees and finally pressed into raw coconut oil. After that step, the oil will undergo more refining in order to remove all impurities and to obtain the highest possible quality oil that is required by increasingly demanding buyers.
Once the refining process is completed the coconut oil is placed into special storage tanks until it is purchased by the few Monoi manufacturers who will proceed individually to the final maceration step with the Tiare flowers in their respective factories.
Today, as it has been for centuries, the coconut palm tree remains an intricate part of the Polynesian culture. From birth to death, on land or at sea, he has always been present. He has fed them, sheltered them, looked after the. It is more than an ordinary tree; it is their very own Tree of Life!

There was a young man from Racine
Who was weaned at the age of eighteen.
He said, "I'll admit
There's no milk in the tit,
But think of the fun it has been."
Modern Love Poem
A Trite Redundant Poem With a Laughable Excuse For a Structure
Addressed To Absolutely No One in Particular and Whose Only Redeeming
Value is That It's Short
a.k.a. A Modern Love Poem
My dearest darling with long dark hair and eyes azure,
My love for you is eternal, tried, and sure.
I stare into the infinite depths of your eyes,
But I often find my gaze directed at your thighs.
Everyone appreciates your unsurpassed beauty and grace,
Your perfect supple form and enchanting face.
Some say beauty is fleeting, and boy do I agree.
Your personality sucks, so when you're 40, with you I will not be.
My sweet, how do I love thee? Let me count the ways...
One...uh...one...hmm...number one...gimme a chance... how about the
way your body sways?
Let me once more restate my love for you.
65% of the time, to you I'm true.
There is no other woman with whom I lay,
At least, not at this particular time of day.
My dear, you're absolutely the best.
How 'bout accompanying me to the next Centralfest?
(That is, unless I don't have another date)
The events that brought us together must have been fate.
I love you, I love you, I love you.
You're the greatest, Jenny, I mean Cherry, I mean Sue.
There was a young man named McFee
Who was stung in the balls by a bee.
He made oodles of money
By oozing pure honey
Every time he attempted to pee.
An efficient young fellow named Dave
Said, "Think of the time that I save
By avoiding vacations,
And sexy relations,
And taking a crap while I shave."
There was a young girl of Darjeeling
Who could dance with such exquisite feeling.
There was never a sound
For miles around,
Save of fly-buttons hitting the ceiling.

Healthy, Safe and Thriving Communities in San Diego County
In 2010, after two years of collaborative planning sessions among https://www.breastfeeding.org/community/live-well-san-diego/live-well-logo/County staff and community stakeholders, the County of San Diego Board of Supervisors adopted a comprehensive, long-term initiative on health called Building Better Health: Health Strategy Agenda. The decision was sparked by the realization that San Diego County, like much of the nation, was facing a tidal wave of chronic disease and rising healthcare costs. Our Board knew that without taking bold, deliberate action, the next generation of San Diegans would be in danger of living shorter, less healthy lives than the current generation.
The original Building Better Health: Health Strategy Agenda has since evolved into the greater Live Well San Diego vision of a region that is Building Better Health, Living Safely and Thriving.

Market View: Week Starting 28th NOV 2016
|Week Starting 28th NOV 2016
|Last week the NIFTY closed at 8114 registering a gain of 0.5% over previous week. A small rally after a steep fall was expected. 8000 will now be a good short term support for NIFTY. The demonetisation drive has certainly impacted our short term story but our long term growth story is still intact. There has been a talk that the demonetisation will affect the GDP and hence the stock markets but we feel that the GDP is no way related to what the companies earn in terms of profits. So the demonetisation is likely to have a good impact on the markets and the economy overall in the long term. For now the good part is that a lot of valuations have corrected. We will see value buying picking up now. A good buying opportunity now can take us a long way. However we will have to wait for these opportunities patiently. The short term situation for now is very volatile as a change is happening every day. We need to be a bit cautious. We expect the markets to bottom out very soon. The markets will keep their eyes glued on events like the RBI and the US federal meeting happening soon on interest rates. Let's wait and watch. Be disciplined on all existing positions. Do not allow profits to get converted to losses. Do not panic! We expect the markets to consolidate this week as well. All the best!

Just one day before welcoming passengers onboard the newly-renovated Grand Princess, cruise director Martyn takes us on a whirlwind tour of the completed areas, including the Princess casino, the family sunbathing area (complete with a new splash pool), the fitness center and Lotus Spa (You'll even get the hairdresser's perspective on the new salon and spa areas while she gives Martyn a haircut!).

The Hotel Manager onboard Princess Cruises' Grand Princess gives us details on the hard work being done to get the ship ready for passengers. He also tells us about the operations underway to ensure that the ship's contractors and crew members are well taken care of, from their office needs to laundry. In his words, Princess Cruises is "still the Consummate Host®," during the course of the ship's drydock renovations.

Grand Princess: Lifeboats & Carpets
Posted May 2, 2011on:
In this episode of Princess Cruises' Grand Princess video diary, we see the lifeboats being maintained and replaced, while miles and miles of custom-made carpets are laid all over the ship. Can't wait to travel on the completely renovated ship!
In this episode of Princess Cruises' Grand Princess video diary, a visiting artist shows us the process of restoring paintings onboard ship.
We also get a look at the work going on in the theatre. If this backstage look at the show production area interests you, tours of the stage, prop, and dressing rooms backstage are conducted on some sailings. We took part in this tour on our Princess cruise to Alaska, and it was lots of fun.

In an effort to build awareness of General Motors Co.'s GMC and Buick products, a courtesy loaner program is being considered for customers getting warranty service on their vehicles.
Brian Sweeney, vice president of sales for Buick and GMC, said that this service may begin in the "next couple weeks." This program would work by getting GMC Acadia owners into a Buick Enclave, for instance, and boost recognition of more GM vehicles.
Sweeney, who had recently addressed about 900 dealers that sell the two brands, said that the company is aiming to expose customers to other Buick and GMC products.
Meanwhile, Buick dealers have to change and meet the expectations customers have when shopping for a premium car, according to Mike Bowsher, co-chairman of the national dealer council for Buick-GMC and president of Carl Black Automotive Group. Bowsher, who runs dealerships in Georgia, Tennessee and Florida, said that they can't sell Buicks like they did the Pontiac.
He explained that many of these dealerships used to be Pontiac dealers and right now, they're forced to handle the crowd usually associated with the Lexus, Ritz-Carlton, Cadillac, and Mercedes.
Bowsher said that there are already several Buick-GMC dealers that offer loaner vehicles to customers. He said that GM may make the courtesy loaner program standard for dealers.
The Automotive News data center said that Buick outpaced other brands with a 58% increase in US sales through September compared with the same period in 2009. On the other hand, GMC sales climbed by 31%. [via autonews - sub. required]

Special Needs
Marlboro Electric has a Special Needs Policy to notify members before the termination of their electric service where the loss of power would be dangerous to their health or a person residing in the member's household.
The policy does not relieve the member from their obligation to pay the bill, however, it may add additional notifications to the member before the disconnection of power occurs for non-payment of their power bill.
To be added to the Special Needs customer listing, Marlboro Electric must receive a form from our office that is to be completed by their health care provider. The form must be renewed annually to remain on the Special Needs list. You cannot be added to the Special Needs list without properly submitting this form.
Occasionally, we experience severe weather that could cause a loss of power for an extended amount of time. If you or someone in your household is on a life support system, we suggest you purchase an inexpensive generator which would keep the support system operating during this time. Marlboro Electric restores power as quickly as possible but has no way of knowing how extensive the outage could be.
If you or a family member depends on life support, call Marlboro Electric BEFORE an emergency arises. Documentation from the doctor is required each year.

Ownership of the city's tallest office tower hopes CSX chooses it for relocation of 550 employees from Southpoint to Downtown — becoming the building's largest single tenant.
And it hopes to hear so soon.
"We were hoping to have heard something positive from CSX before the holidays," said James Ingram, executive vice president and chief investment officer of Hertz Investment Group.
Hertz owns the 42-story Bank of America Tower at 50 N. Laura St.
Ingram said Wednesday that Hertz is planning for 100,000 to 140,000 square feet for CSX.
A lease of that size would help fill the approximately 660,000-square-foot tower, where 200,000 square feet is available for tenants.
The lease would boost the tower from 70 percent leased to 85-88 percent, "having a meaningful impact on our occupancy and would create the largest single tenant at Bank of America Tower," Ingram said.
Ingram said he anticipates CSX's site decision by mid-January.
Asked whether that could lead to signage on the building for CSX, Ingram said Bank of America has exclusive signage and naming rights at the tower.
CSX is looking at the suburbs, where it has been leasing space for the jobs, as well as Downtown, said CBRE Senior Vice President Michael Harrell, who is working with the company.
Harrell said CBRE is working with CSX Real Property Inc., the real estate arm of CSX, to find alternative locations for the suburban operations.
He said they have looked at locations Downtown and in the suburbs, including staying where they are in a different configuration.
In looking Downtown, CSX also is considering the SunTrust Tower and One Enterprise Center, according to Ingram and Downtown Investment Authority CEO Aundra Wallace.
CBRE represents One Enterprise Center and Senior Vice President Oliver Barakat referred questions to Harrell. A representative of SunTrust Tower could not be reached.
Ingram said he did not know of the status of CSX's consideration of those other buildings.
He said depending on which CSX divisions move, the company could occupy five to seven floors of about 20,000 square feet each. The space would be among the lower 21 floors.
Ingram said CSX would move by the middle of the first quarter of 2018, "so there is plenty of time."
CSX is based on the Downtown Northbank at 500 W. Water St. and also owns the nearby 550 W. Water St. building. Combined, they provide almost 690,000 square feet of space.
Spokeswoman Kristin Seay issued a statement Wednesday that was similar to that of spokeswoman Melanie Cost earlier this month.
Seay said as part of CSX's initiative to continually operate more efficiently and reduce overhead costs, it is terminating its lease of the two adjacent Southpoint office buildings it has occupied for more than 25 years in March 2018.
She said "if all else were equal, as part of its continuing effort to assist in the revitalization of Downtown," CSX would like to bring the Southpoint employees to about 120,000 square feet on the Northbank.
Cost said in mid-December the workers to be moved are in the company's finance, technology, labor relations and corporate real estate organizations.
CSX has suggested the DIA work with landlords to determine the feasibility of a move, Seay said.
A city report showed DIA could offer a grant of more than $271,000 a year for five to seven years to a Downtown landlord.
The incentives would have a $1.9 million maximum indebtedness to the Northbank Community Redevelopment Area.
The deal is contingent on CSX relocating a minimum of 550 employees Downtown and the company would have to provide written notice it wouldn't seek other city incentives for the move.
Wallace said previously the authority was approached in mid-October about a possible move and he hopes to complete a deal in the first quarter.
He also said CSX was "sincere about looking Downtown" and was adamant it be on the Northbank.
He said few Northbank buildings provided 120,000 square feet of vacant space and did not say specifically which are under review — only that three of them can accommodate the need.
Leasing brochures show up to 150,000 square feet is available in SunTrust Tower at 76 S. Laura St. and up to 153,452 square feet of contiguous space is available in One Enterprise Center at 225 Water St., which is near CSX's existing buildings.
Wallace said Wednesday the incentives are pending the DIA staff's due diligence and review and there is no set timetable to complete that review.
Ingram said with incentives negotiations incomplete, "we are still hoping that we can attract them to the Bank of America Tower."
"There still are a lot of moving parts here," he said.
Meanwhile, Colliers International is marketing the structures at 6735 and 6737 Southpoint Drive S. for lease as a corporate office campus.
Together, they provide 275,229 square feet.
Colliers International says the 6735 Southpoint Drive S. structure is a four-story, 135,404-square-foot building built in 1992.
Floorplates range from 29,227 to 36,451 square feet in size.
The 6737 Southpoint Drive S. building, at three floors and 139,825 square feet, was developed in 1983 and renovated in 1991.
Those floorplates run from 42,597 to 49,021 square feet.
Colliers executives Chuck Diebel and Preston Phillips, both executive vice presidents, and Lisa McLatchey, office associate, are the contacts.
Baptist Convention buys NFRC offices
The Florida Baptist Convention Inc. bought the Northeast Florida Regional Council building near Southpoint last week for $2.3 million.
Based at 1230 Hendricks Ave., the convention intends to move to the 6850 Belfort Oaks Place building and sell its San Marco site for redevelopment.
The convention intends to move its corporate offices and about 30 employees to the Belfort site in early 2017. It is near Butler Boulevard and Interstate 95.
The regional council relocated to WJCT Studios Downtown.
The Belfort Oaks Place structure is a two-story, 28,000-square-foot building on 3.5 acres. It was built in 1990.
Jacksonville-based Block One Ventures wants to buy and clear the 3.45-acre Hendricks Avenue property to develop a multistory structure with up to 345 residential units and 30,000 square feet of retail and commercial uses.
The Baptist Building is on a full city block near the Downtown Southbank.
The main building is about 50,000 square feet and five stories. Construction began in 1958 and was completed in 1960.

Eagles fans will have a rare free Fall Sunday this week as the Birds take a break. But without Eagles football there could be a big void to fill.
For those hardcore football fans it will remain business as usual Sunday even without the Birds. They will be checking their fantasy teams, tuning into The Ticket and rooting against 'dem Cowboys (go Broncos).
And for a fantasy tip look into picking up Ravens wide receiver Kelly Washington. He put up a quiet 12 catches for nearly 14 yards a fetch and one TD so far this season. Expect more nice games as Baltimore QB Joe Flacco becomes more comfortable with his new target.
For the less than avid football fan (or a fan who just needs a week off) there is still plenty to do.
You can join Lori Wilson and plenty of the NBC Philadelphia family at the Step Out Walk to Fight Diabetes presented by Independence Blue Cross.
Also, check out Sippin' on the River down at Penn's Landing where you can drink to your hearts desire while raising money for the Crohn's and Colitis Foundation of America. Or, feel free to head over to Jersey to support the fight against Breast Cancer as the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure takes over Six Flags Great Adventure in Jackson.
Whatever you might do make sure you get home in time to watch Sunday Night Football on NBC. Expect a great game as the San Diego Chargers take on the Steelers in Pittsburgh.

by Dr. Marco Lenck | SAPinsider
July 1, 2011
With the proliferation of exciting new technologies like cloud computing and in-memory analytics, SAP customers are seeking guidance on next steps. Accordingly, the technology department within the German-Speaking SAP User Group (DSAG) is working to get customers the information and tools they need to evaluate and succeed with these technologies. To find out more about the department and its work, SAPinsider spoke with Dr. Marco Lenck, DSAG board member for the technology department and CIO of chemical additive producer Rhein Chemie Rheinau GmbH.
A: Our department contains 11 special interest groups (SIGs) covering important SAP technology topics, such as application integration and infrastructure and operation. Within these SIGs are 16 working groups, including the virtualization working group (which falls under the infrastructure and operation SIG). About 1,700 companies and 12,000 people participate in the technology department, which meets regularly. As the board member for this department, I also meet with other SIGs' representatives to share and discuss our activities and understand users' needs.
A: Two examples come to mind. First, we'd learned that many German SAP customers were eager to get started with SAP BusinessObjects solutions for business intelligence (BI), but they wanted to start small. So, together with SAP, we created an SAP BusinessObjects starter package that lets companies implement only a few BI solutions through a lower pricing model.
Another example involves the release of SAP NetWeaver 7.3, which incorporates many of the platform enhancements that we'd requested in discussions with SAP. One example is an enhancement to SAP NetWeaver Portal, called enterprise workspaces. These workspaces enable virtual teams to work independently from different global locations. SAP NetWeaver Portal 7.3 is the consolidated go-to release.1
A: Prominent topics are mobility, cloud computing, and in-memory analytics. As companies become more mobile, they need to implement supporting technology, but they shouldn't immediately port every piece of their existing technology to mobile platforms. There needs to be a strategy involved in that process. I would make a similar argument for cloud computing. Companies need to let things evolve a bit before launching everything into the cloud. Companies' current on-premise solutions are intricate enough without adding more layers of complexity from poorly planned on-demand or on-device implementations.
A: We want to continue working with our members to help SAP improve SAP NetWeaver 7.3. To do so, we need to first determine which areas are working for SAP customers and which are not. Another major goal is to help members as they prepare to work with mobile solutions. I look forward to exploring these and other topics with DSAG's technology department in the future.

I am skeptical about the bee. The problem is that clockwork bees are inherently small and fiddly, and it just doesn't read all that clearly. But I do think it needs something in that dead space. So some fiddling around with petal shapes over there. (I have tried putting words in. Words don't seem happy there at all...)
Adding the black border makes it read a little bit more dark fantasy to me, weirdly enough. That may JUST be me, though. And I know, I know, borders are like licking your knife in public. SOMETIMES I LIKE THE TASTE, OKAY!?
(I, uh, have no immediate plans to replace all the existing covers, for the record. I won't swear that I won't at some point, but I'd need to put matching covers on all three and that's so much work that I shudder to contemplate. Though I'm pretty pleased with the Greenteeth one.)
Y'all know--I hope!--that I value your input by now...

Novel Behavioral Markers in the Ppt1-/- Mouse Model of Infantile Neuronal Ceroid Lipofuscinosis

Infantile neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis (INCL) is a lysosomal storage disease that is debilitating and fatal to children before their teenage years. The palmitoyl protein thioesterase 1 (PPT1) knockout (Ppt1-/-) mouse is an appropriate animal model that mimics much of the symptomology and brain pathology of the human disease. Ppt1-/- mice display blindness, seizures, and motor deficits and die well before wild-type mice. However, little is known about the cognitive and behavioral abilities of the Ppt1-/- mouse. This study was conducted to examine further the behavioral phenotype of the Ppt1-/- mouse model of INCL by evaluating the animals' abilities in such domains as learning and memory, sensorimotor/motor coordination, and vision. To evaluate when behavioral symptoms become detectable, two ages of mice were included in the study. One cohort was tested beginning in the juvenile period (27 days old), and another cohort was tested beginning in adulthood (147 days old). Young Ppt1-/- mice showed no deficits in locomotor behavior, learning and memory, or vision compared to WT mice. However, Ppt1-/- juveniles may experience slight deficits in sensorimotor ability and motor coordination as indicated by decreased distance traveled in the running wheel test and slower swimming speeds during the Morris Water Maze. Adult Ppt1-/- mice exhibited more robust performance deficits, including decreased locomotor activity, worse performance during Morris Water Maze cued trials, decreased running wheel ability, and altered reactivity to fear conditioning. These older animals appeared to maintain normal vision and spatial learning ability. The results of this study expand our knowledge of the Ppt1-/- mouse model of INCL and provide novel information about the age of onset of behavioral symptoms. While the adult Ppt1-/- mice showed extensive behavioral deficits, some disease symptomatology was present even in the younger cohort. These results provide the grounds for examining Ppt1-/- mice at various ages on various domains, with the purpose of establishing solid behavioral markers to serve as benchmarks for disease progression and treatment efficacy.

TUE-FRI 11am-7pm &SAT 10am-4pm
About Jared
I finished my Level 5 Diploma in Massage Therapy at The NZ College Of Massage in June 2018. I worked for myself in a clinic room in Papanui, Christchurch and continued on studying at NZCM to attain my Level 6 Diploma in Clinical Therapeutic Massage, which I completed in June 2019. Upon completing my level 6 Diploma I decided to move on as an independant contractor at a multi modality clinic. I was offered to work at Christchurch Therapeutic Massage Centre in Shirley. I really enjoy seeing the positive change in my clients, from when they walk into the clinic, to when they leave. I have all sorts of clients male & female, different shapes, sizes, ages, fitness levels & in varying professions. I use massage therapy to help reduce stress, tension and pain in my clients, so they can function and perform at their optimum.
What To Expect
When you visit for the first time it pays to arrive 10 minutes early to fill out a Customer Information Form, I will talk with you about your general health and ask you what you would like to achieve from the massage therapy session. Depending on your session goals I will conduct a short or longer health assessment. This will likely involve asking you some questions and possibly doing some clinical tests. I will use this information to identify the main problems, give me direction for the best possible treatment for you, ensure that massage will be appropriate and will not cause you any harm, and some tests may provide a measure to see if your treatment has been effective afterwards.
I will inform you of the treatment plan for you and will explain what it involves, what clothes to remove, how you will be draped, what parts of your body will be uncovered, and agree on what pressure level you expect and will be most effective for your goals. I will also outline what outcome I am aiming for from the session. No treatment or hands-on massage will be done without your consent. If you don't understand any aspect of the session/treatment, please ask me to explain it further.
I will then leave the room to leave you to disrobe. You will be expected to leave your underwear on and to lie on the massage table covered in a large sheet. I will then knock to check you are covered before entering the room. I use music and dim lighting to assist with your relaxation.
I use a variety of relaxation and massage techniques. These may include:
- Breathing techniques
- Various types of massage therapy
- Education to prevent injury and promote wellness
The approaches selected will depend on my scope of practice and your session goals. At all times you will be treated with care, skill, dignity and respect, and you have the right to withdraw from your session / treatment at any stage or seek a second opinion. If any part of your massage doesn't feel right, is uncomfortable or painful, please speak up right away. You are also welcome to bring a family member, whanau, friend, caregiver and/or interpreter to your session.

Thank you for your understanding with this difficult subject (I know 95% of you already do, and I really do appreciate it).
Types of Massage
Relaxation massage therapy is the modality that comes to mind when most people think about massage. As the best-known type of bodywork performed today, one of the primary goals of the Swedish massage technique is to relax the entire body. This is accomplished by rubbing the muscles with long gliding strokes in the direction of blood returning to the heart. But Swedish massage therapy goes beyond relaxation. Swedish massage is exceptionally beneficial for increasing the level of oxygen in the blood, decreasing muscle toxins, improving circulation and flexibility while easing tension.
A study conducted by the National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine, and published in The New York Times, found that volunteers who received a 45-minute Swedish massage experienced significant decreases in levels of the stress hormone cortisol, as well as arginine vasopressin-a hormone that can lead to increases in cortisol. Volunteers also had increases in the number of lymphocytes, white blood cells that are part of the immune system, and a boost in the immune cells that may help fight colds and the flu.
Additional Swedish massage techniques include circular pressure applied by the hands and palms, firm kneading, percussion-like tapping, bending and stretching. Before and during your Swedish massage session, communication is encouraged with your professional massage therapist so that your massage is customized to your specific needs.
Deep tissue massage therapy is similar to Swedish/Relaxation massage, but the deeper pressure is beneficial in releasing chronic muscle tension. The focus is on the deepest layers of muscle tissue, tendons and fascia (the protective layer surrounding muscles, bones and joints).
A study in the Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine found that people's blood pressure fell after a single 45 to 60 minute deep tissue massage. Additionally, a 2010 meta-analysis in the Journal of Clinical Psychiatry found that massage modalities like deep tissue reduce stress hormone levels and heart rate while boosting mood and relaxation by triggering the release of oxytocin and serotonin.
Sports massage is designed specifically for the very physically active (whether you're a professional athlete or not). It combines fast Swedish massage to warm up muscles, Deep tissue massage and other techniques to concentrate on the areas that are related to your sport. Athletes often get sports massages to prepare for peak performance & prevent injury.
The benefits and effects of sports massage include physical effects such as circulating blood and lymphatic fluids as well as stretching muscle tissue and breaking down scar tissue. There are physiological effects such as reducing pain and relaxing muscles as well as psychological affects which include reducing anxiety levels.
Massage therapy during pregnancy is a wonderful complementary choice for prenatal care. It is a healthy way to reduce stress and promote overall wellness. Massage relieves many of the normal discomforts experienced during pregnancy, such as backaches, stiff neck, leg cramps, headaches and edema (or swelling). In addition, massage for pregnant women reduces stress on weight-bearing joints, encourages blood and lymph circulation, helps to relax nervous tension -- which aids in better sleep -- and can help relieve depression or anxiety caused by hormonal changes.
At Optimum Massage I take extra care to ensure my pregnancy massage clients are comfortable. Sideline positioning with supportive, soft cushions is used to alleviate the extra strain on the lower back and pelvic areas when the pressure of massage techniques are applied. Extra strain in these areas can cause unnecessary back or abdominal pain, so naturally we want to avoid any potential discomfort.
-Massage for pregnant women offers a number of benefits, and it's always a good idea to discuss with your therapist any everyday symptoms you'd like to see relieved. Those might include:
-Headaches can be relieved by massage focusing on the head, neck and shoulders. In addition, maintaining optimal levels of stress relief through massage reduces the chances of migraines or tension headaches by relaxing trigger points and muscle spasms.
-Muscle tension created by carrying the extra weight of a baby can be relieved by encouraging blood flow to the afflicted areas. This provides more nutrient-rich oxygen and also increases the flow of lymphatic fluid, which sweeps away toxins and metabolic waste.
-Fatigue, backaches, leg cramps and swelling/edema can all be relieved through various types of massage for pregnant women. The ordinary aches and pains of pregnancy are countered by the release of serotonin, your body's natural anti-pain chemical, which is stimulated by massage.
While a massage can't promise that your newborn will sleep through the night, it can provide you with a better night's sleep both during pregnancy and afterwards. Regular massage therapy not only helps diminish anxiety and discomfort but boosts relaxation as well. This ultimately can lead to improved sleep patterns. In addition, the serotonin, endorphins and dopamine released by your body in response to massage provide an extra helping of those natural chemicals. "Massage is very effective at increasing deep sleep," says Touch Research Institute director Dr. Tiffany Field.
Women with normal, low-risk pregnancies can benefit greatly from the variety of massage techniques offered by a massage therapist after the first trimester. However, I recommend you consult your doctor or midwife before beginning one of our massage therapy sessions. If you experience discomfort at any time during the pregnancy massage, tell your therapist immediately.
Remedial massage involves the assessment, analysis and treatment of your body. It is an umbrella term for a wide range of soft tissue techniques that aim to improve posture and flexibility, relieve sore muscles, prevent &/ or manage injury and improve sports performance.

Goooooood morning, good morning, good morning and welcome back to my corner of the internet. Today I have my first GlossyBox review since November! Yes, there have been five whole GlossyBoxes I have received without documenting. And do you know what? I really miss this. In fact, even in the time I haven't been blogging, sometimes I would search for other peoples' reviews of these boxes, because sometimes it's nice to see if other people agree with you on a specific product, or whether they're having the same problems you are. This might even be something that comes up with one of these products, so watch out!
As you can see, yes, I am receiving GlossyBox. GlossyBox has been going for years. I don't know specifically how long, but I do remember I had friends getting it years before I even considered it. I was late on the bandwagon, but I actually prefer it this way.
GlossyBox received a lot of flack about 6 years ago; there were a lot of product problems, numerous customer complaints and cancellations, and overall terrible service. I have not found this. I have been with a few subscription boxes: I used to receive Wantable Beauty, Wantable Accessories, Birchbox, GlossyBox and the Marzia box. Out of all of them, GlossyBox is the one that consistently delivers on time, and actually provides products I like. (I will note here that Wantable was pretty great, too, but I was paying a fortune in the UK as it's a US company and shipments would often be suuuuper delayed.)
I know that my opinion is subjective, and that lots of you would have had problems with this, but to me, it's the most cost-efficient and consistent beauty subscription in the UK.
No, I'm not an ambassador for Glossy, I just wanted to put that out there!
So, without further ado, let's get on with it! This time, I'm gonna be doing this like an unboxing, so I've literally seen what I'm showing you through photos maybe a second before they're snapped 🙂
So, as soon as we open the box this time, we have the usual card with the products listed on it, and a promo card as well for a company called Mockberg, which I've never heard of. The card is actually a gift card, which I was confused about, as usually you'll receive offers on these things, not actual money to spend.
I've checked out the company, and they actually sell watches… pretty nice ones. They start at €129, which is about £100… so you'd be getting about 50% off if you chose to purchase. That's not too bad in my eyes. I don't know if I'll be taking advantage of it, but hey, you never know.
Oh, how excited I always am to open these boxes. One of the reasons I get these boxes is because it feels like getting a present every month! Yeah, sometimes I don't particularly like one or two of the products, but for the most part I enjoy what Glossy provides!
One of the other things I think this box gets right is the variety of products. They seem to really try to get the balance between makeup, hair, skincare, etc. This box in particular seems to have that down.
Scrub Love Detoxifying Activated Charcoal Body Scrub – Cucumber & Bamboo (RRP £13.95; approx £6.98 for this size)
The good: Vegan, natural ingredients, no parabens, no microbeads.
The bad: We'll get to that below! Also, seems a little redundant to brag about "no plastic microbeads" when your packaging appears to be non-recyclable plastic.
I'm gonna start with this one because it's the one I have the most to say about.
I actually saw that we would be receiving this on the Sneak Peek on the GlossyBox website, and I was so, so excited about it. Exfoliating is one of those things I used to hate doing, and more so because there's not really that many exciting products on the market. But recently, there seems to be a resurgence in more natural and vegan scrubs, and I am buying into it completely.
I mentioned before about not particularly liking the winter Marzia box I received, which I didn't blog about, but there were a couple of things in there of note, and one of them was the original Frank Body scrub. This is a scrub whose base ingredient is coffee, and I saw a lot of people promo-ing on the internet. I thought I would hate it re: the hating exfoliating thing mentioned above… but it totally converted me. It's got coffee, brown sugar, almond oil, orange oil and vitamin E in it, and after you've used it your skin smells and feels amazing. Sure, you probably won't like it if you really can't stand coffee, but other than that I recommend giving it a go!
This is why I was so excited to be receiving a product from a company who seems to have had the same idea regarding their ingredients (they also do coffee scrubs), and their packaging. And I was super excited to see a charcoal scrub as I know how good it is for skin, particularly problematic skin like my own. I couldn't wait to get it open.
It's not a particularly attractive looking scrub… but that's not the problem.
The problem was that it stank. And I don't mean a good stank. I mean a stank where even half an hour after I had opened and closed it I was looking around my house thinking there was a piece of gone-off food somewhere. I mean a stank of I cleaned out my fridge because I thought it might have been coming from there.
Okay, sometimes you get products you don't like the smell of. That I understand. This is not that. This is something I actually am debating whether I'll even be able to use the smell is that terrible. You can definitely smell the bamboo, but the problem is it smells like rancid, gone-off, week-old Chinese takeaway leftover bamboo.
I thought maybe I was being paranoid, so I waited until my husband got home. His reaction was the same. This morning, I showed my four year-old daughter. Her face scrunched up and declared the smell "not good" because "it smells like farts".
Whether we are all collectively overreacting, or whether there's something gone wrong with the product, I can't tell you. The only thing I can tell you is that I don't want this stuff anywhere near my face or body. Which is a damn shame for a product I was so excited about 😦
Daily Concepts Exfoliating Body Scrubber (RRP $5; approx. £3.89)
The good: Cruelty free, mostly environmentally-friendly materials, will get a lot of use, good price point
The bad: none to note so far
From a lengthy treatise on the last product to a quick review on this one!
When I first saw this, I thought it might be a Konjac sponge due to the way it was packaged. I don't know if there is a need for packaging a sponge in this way, but I'll give it the benefit of the doubt on this occasion because it's not too excessive.
It's actually just a nice little exfoliating sponge, with the usual nylon-hooped cotton on the "scrubby" side, and towelling on the other where the holder is.
The inside of it is apparently a "soy-based sponge". I don't know what that is but meh.
It's a nice little thing, and like I said, I'll probably get a good amount of use from it.
Dr. PAWPAW Original Balm (RRP £6.95)
The good: It's an upmarked petroleum jelly.
The bad: It's an upmarked petroleum jelly.
My good and bad stance here is exactly the same because there's only one thing I can say about this: it's an upmarked petroleum jelly.
I had heard of this "balm" before, and a lot of celebrities seem to like it (as they proudly display all over the front page of their website), and so when I first saw it, I was excited to check out the hype. As soon as I tried squeezing the tube I was shocked, because the opening is a small hole and the product had a little difficulty getting out of it. I actually even got a pin and stuck it in the top in case the product had clumped. But no, you have to give it a hard squeeze. I then got some out onto my hand, and it felt like Vaseline. There was so smell to it or colour, and so I thought maybe the product had separated.
I turned the tube over and checked the ingredients: sure enough the first one listed is petrolatum. It lists all the wonderful stuff it can do and can be used on, and instead, it's a very expensive tube of Vaseline. Even on the website they talk about how it's the fermented papaya that makes this product shine, but there's no telling how much of that is actually in this stuff, because as I said before, it's fragrance and colour free. Even of natural stuff you'd expect (e.g. if they called the company Dr. PawPaw and kept speaking about papaya… oh, wait…)
So I guess the good and bad of this product all comes down to whether or not you like/find use for petroleum jelly. I'm not gonna give you a bunch of links because you should make up your own minds on this stuff, but my personal preference is not to put this stuff anywhere near my face (especially not using it as a bloody primer as it suggests on their youtube) as petroleum basically works as a barrier on your skin allowing no good stuff in and no bad stuff out. I definitely also don't put petroleum anywhere near my lips, as lots of people do with vaseline, as the jury's still out on whether in contains carcinogens.
However, I will use this stuff on my nails. My anxiety has recently caused me to be wolf-biting my fingers (dermatophagia). This isn't a major thing I suffer with, but it happens every so often, and due to a recent bout, my fingers are incredibly painful right now, and I suspect two are infected. So, I'm gonna try using this stuff on there and seeing if it can get rid of some of the dryness and callouses. If it works, I'll hand it over to my husband, who suffers with severe dermatophagia.
Caudalié Vinosource Moisturising Sorbet (RRP £23; for this size approx. £5.75)
The good: smells amazing, great on combination and dry skin
The bad: the cruelty-free debate
Okay, so to be fair, the "bad" isn't about the product, but the company itself. I do however like to include that in my discussion of things, though, as it will influence whether or not I go on to buy a product and so deserves a mention.
I'll talk about that first then.
So, Caudalié are one of those companies that are on the ethical border when it comes to a cruelty-free status. They talk on their website about being cruelty free, and how they donate 1% of profits to saving the planet, lah-dee-lah, but they do sell in China. And as we know, in China, products are tested on animals. This has caused a lot of companies (such as Benefit) to lose custom and their leaping bunny logos.
I don't like to support companies anymore that aren't cruelty-free, and unfortunately I think Caudalié is gonna have to fall into this bracket, and is why I steer clear from actually purchasing from them.
The problem is, I really love Caudalié's products. They always smell amazing, are fresh, and really work with my skin. This moisturiser is no different. It's really moisturing, smells amazing, and absorbs quickly. My skin is terrible at the minute and it feels very soothing. Unfortunately, this isn't enough for me. I'm gonna enjoy using this tester for however long it lasts, and then I say goodbye to yet another Caudalié product.
Ruby Professional Blush in Coral (RRP €14.99; approx. £12.67)
The good: Nice consistency and colour
The bad: Overpriced, not sure of colour pay-off.
This is a nice little blush by the same company as the blender brush I received in the last GlossyBox review I had up on here of November 2016. It's got a really nice coral colour which will be nice for the summer.
The only thing that I have to say that's somewhat negative is that its price point seems a little high compared to the rest of what they have on their site in terms of makeup (not much), and that this is only available in one colour. I've swatched it as well, and I couldn't even get a decent picture to show you as the colour was so faint, but hopefully it will work better with proper application on my pale face 🙂
Total worth: approx. £36.24 (plus the £50 gift card)
Overall: Now, my overall opinion is that this is a good box. There's a good range of products to get use out of. I do have a lot of negative comments here, but they might just be my problems – the smell of the scrub, the fact I don't use petroleum or cruelty-free products. I am really disappointed by the scrub. I probably won't let that one go. But overall, I'd say it's alright.
What do you think? Did any of you get the same box and have different opinions?

Hello and welcome to Thyme to Mango, a food blog dedicated to great tasting, kick-ass food and recipes. I want to take a moment to thank you for stopping by and please feel free to have a look around.
When it comes to food blogging I'm self-taught and this blog is my journey in becoming the best recipe developer, photographer, writer and blogger I can be. To share this with all you amazing people is the greatest feeling ever!
Thyme to Mango is all about and real food using fresh ingredients to produce the best food possible. I do not have a specific food niche so what you will find here is more a reflection of what I get up to in my kitchen. You can expect to find fast prep meals for those hectic weekday nights, the more gourmet recipes for those weekends spent in the kitchen, and everything else in between.
If there is something I enjoy as much as food it is travelling so most recipes are inspired by one exotic cuisine or another.
When I'm not blogging you will find me sitting at my piano (I'm an enthusiastic amateur), hunting down chocolate, spending time with my partner and four-legged children, watching Netflix, drinking wine or buried nose deep in a book.
This blog used to go by the name "The Nude-Food Hero", dedicated to making food from scratch with as little processed ingredients as possible. Although Thyme to Mango does not adhere to this rule as strictly as its predecessor, this is still the way I go about making recipes in my own kitchen for I would much rather spend the extra time (and sometimes money) to make my own food rather than reaching for that jar, can or packet.
Although there is obviously a health benefit to using whole foods rather than processed ingredients laced with added sugars, preservatives and other fancy chemicals, the made-from-scratch thing is mostly my enjoyment of being in the kitchen and making my own kick-ass food (the health aspect is a perk!) because homemade food is always better, right?
So, although I do approach recipes from a made-from-scratch perspective – and try and stay away from things like heavily processed sugars and flours – I do not advocate Thyme to Mango as a health food blog. I also believe the occasional indulgence never hurt anyone.
The Thyme to Mango Household
I'm lucky enough to have my own personal support team and entourage helping me in every department of this blog from taste-testing to dish cleaning.
The Paramedic
The Paramedic is the official Thyme to Mango Taste Tester and you can be sure a recipe will not be posted on here until it receives his stamp of approval.
He is also my partner of 9 years and my accomplice in all travel, food and Netflix-marathon-watching related activities ( and, yes, he is an actual Paramedic, this is not just some weird and random nickname 🙂 )
Khan is our handsome Siberian Husky who much prefers a cuddle on the couch than any form of overly strenuous exercise . He's a stubborn creature who always tries to get his own way (and will kick up a fuss when he doesn't get it).
He's a very vocal dog; he howls at sirens (fire trucks only) and will engage us in lengthy, husky-language conversations concerning his levels of hunger and his "desperate" need for attention. Khan's favourite foods are Kangaroo meat, tomatoes, carrots and anything he can steal from the veggie patch
Our pint-sized, wonky-eared mongrel (there's Kelpie, Labrador and a few other things swirled up in there). She's the princess of the house and will successfully use her cuteness to get away with, almost, everything.
But don't let her size fool you. She still has plenty of energy after running a half marathon (she's run several), and easily excavated two tonnes – yes TWO TONNES! – of soil from our backyard in a matter of weeks (make that days). When it comes to food Mace really isn't fussy and will eat pretty much anything… oh, except lettuce for some reason.

The NSSSA is divided into four main groups.
- Provincial Cabinet
- Inclusion Committee
- Conference Committee
- Regional Cabinets.
Provincial Cabinet
The Provincial Cabinet takes care of the day to day running of the organization. It is comprised of a President, two Vice Presidents and twelve Regional Co-Premiers. These positions are filled by election at the provincial conference in May. Also sitting on Provincial Cabinet are two Conference Co-Chairs, two Inclusion Co-Chairs, two Gala Co-Chairs, a Provincial Advisor, a Webmaster, Media Relations, a Secretary, a Treasurer, six Regional Advisors and a Financial Advisor.
Inclusion and Conference Committees
The Inclusion Committee and Conference Committee organize NSSSA's two provincial conferences. The Inclusion Committee designs a one-day conference for students with special needs held in March, while the Conference Committee organizes a four-day provincial conference held in May. Two sets of Co-Chairs, appointed by the President and Vice-President, run the committees. Both the Conference Committee and the Inclusion Committee include several appointed positions such as Secretary, Treasurer, 3-tions, WENDY, Public Relations, Skillbuilding Co-Chairs, Head Chaps, Head Logistics, Head First Aid, and Warm Fuzzies.
Regional Cabinets
There are Regional Cabinets in each of the six regions of the province (Cape Breton-Victoria, Chignecto, Metro, Sou'West, Strait, Valley) that organize a day-long or overnight leadership conference for their region's high school students which is typically held each fall or early winter. Each regional cabinet includes the elected Co-Premiers and several appointed positions such as Secretary, Treasurer, 3-tions, WENDY, Public Relations, Skillbuilding Co-Chairs, Head Chaps, Head Logistics, Head First Aid, and Warm Fuzzies.

The battle may be lost, but the war is not over
Posted by limedragon | Filed under knitting
I tried to knit myself some socks. I really tried. All I can offer as evidence is this slightly blurry photo of stockinette.
p align="center" The problem? I hated the short-row heels I used. They were too small.

Posted by limedragon | Filed under knitting
I mostly made my holiday knitting deadline. Except for two pairs of socks. I just couldn't get motivated to work on them. I started one, and the cuff was way too bag, and I felt the weight of the dreaded sock curse creeping upon me.
I feel I can't start any new projects until I get [...]

With the arrival of Autumn and her cold days and nights, it's the perfect time to start wearing handknit socks! I've been happily wearing mine, but there were two near-disasters.
