Spectrum Milestones
When parents talk about milestones, it's often related to when their children talk, walk etc. The big developmental milestones.
However, when you're raising a child with autism the word milestones can take on a different meaning. Sometimes, we as parents can obsess over these milestones – especially the missed ones. Milestones come in all shapes and sizes and it's important to remember – some are good and some are not good.
For example, two weeks ago, we had some amazing progress at the gymnastics class MJ goes to. We all (including therapists) had been working with her on what to do in a few situations – like when she gets stuck in the foam pit, or when kids are too close to her.
You see, MJ has been taking gymnastics for almost 3 years now. We started with the parent/toddler classes as a way to work on her social skills and because she is an incredibly sensory seeking (motion) kind of child. There is a foam pit where she takes gymnastics and most children don't think twice about just leaping right in. However, MJ hated that pit from day one. Refused to go anywhere near it to the point I'd just sit on the sidelines somewhere with her in class until that portion of the class was over.
Over time, we worked up to her standing beside the foam pit to taking the blocks and building towers. For over a year that was what she did. Her therapists then worked with her on some imagery to find ways to not be afraid. Eventually she envisioned she was a mermaid jumping into the ocean and it worked – we were so proud of her. However, she wouldn't go in more than once a class and you could tell she got extremely agitated by it.
What we finally figured out was that besides not liking all the bodies close to her in the pit, she didn't know how to get out. She was really agitated by the idea of not being able to get out. We spent a lot of time working with her – her clinical supervisor added it as a hypothetical to one of her programs and they spent months working with her on what to do if she found herself getting stuck. You see for most kids, they would know to just ask, or put up a fuss until someone helped them. For kids on the spectrum, that kind of thinking doesn't come naturally, it has to be taught.
Two weeks ago, we achieved the unthinkable – I watched her take running starts and huge flying leaps into the foam pit. She would immediately tense, stop, turn around, take a breath and then ask her coach for help getting out. This action that most kids do without a second thought – was one of the biggest milestones we've seen from MJ in a long time – you can't imagine how proud I was in that moment.
Last week, we went in the opposite direction, after a rather difficult day, she didn't display any of the same actions in gymnastics and by the end of the class, she was so agitated that we almost achieved another milestone of a different kind – a public meltdown. You see, MJ is not one to melt down in public she saves it all for behind closed doors. To be honest, I'm not sure this is a milestone we want to achieve, although our clinical supervisor says otherwise.
Sabrina and I were chatting earlier, and she talked about how her son has not really had an interest in storybooks, but that today she watched him engage with books for the first time – fact books. She mentioned that she felt a little bad because she hadn't realized what kinds of books might interest him before. I have felt like that many times bad, because I didn't realize or get how MJ was feeling or something she might have enjoyed more if I had only done x instead. I told Sabrina, not to feel bad, because our kids think different, we don't think like them. Although we are their advocate and their voice, often knowing what they need, want or mean, sometimes we just can't always be in their heads. I told her to enjoy the milestone she achieved – the monkey was engaged with books! I now need to remember to take some of this advice from time to time 🙂
Milestones come in all shapes and sizes, some days it's getting dressed (or dressed without clothes inside out/not backwards) and other days they are bigger, like a new skill, or doing something they've never done before.
What are your milestones?

Twiggy could dodge tax for five more years
Billionaire Australian mining tycoon Andrew Forrest boasted on May 3 that he may pay nothing in tax for the first five years of the federal Labor government's new Mining Resources Rent Tax (MRRT), which comes into effect in July.
Forrest said his company Fortescue Metals would "pay between zero and $50 million of MRRT some time in the next five years" because the company will qualify for big tax exemptions.
The Canberra Times said Fortescue Metals' pre-tax profits are expected to "exceed $20 billion in the next five years".
In April, Mining.com put Forrest's fortune at $5.8 billion. The Australian Financial Review said in June last year that "Forrest has never signed a corporate income tax cheque for any of the listed companies he has run in the past 16 years".
Clive Palmer: 'I run a small family company'
Queensland mining billionaire Clive Palmer announced this week that he will build an "unsinkable" Titanic II — a replica of the doomed 1912 cruise liner. He also revealed plans to build a new commercial fleet to import nickel into Australia and pledged to run for the Liberal National Party against ALP Treasurer Wayne Swan in the next federal election.
Palmer assured the Herald Sun he would not need to give up his business interests to serve as an MP, saying his was just "a small family company". Business Review Weekly puts Palmer's wealth at $5.05 billion.
Liberal leader Tony Abbott said he preferred a more "grassroots candidate" than Palmer. But Liberal legal affairs minister George Brandis told Sky News: "I'm very glad that Mr Palmer is on my side … The more Mr Palmer participates in the political system and brings his peerless business experience to it, the better."
Billionaires end football war with secret deal
A six-month war between billionaire mining mogul Nathan Tinkler — owner of the Newcastle Jets football team — and Football Federation Australia (FFA) chief and fellow billionaire Frank Lowy ended on May 1. Details of the agreement remain secret.
Tinkler announced in early April that he would break his contract, pull his money out of the Newcastle Jets and hand back the club's licence to the FFA.
About 1000 Newcastle Jets supporters rallied on April 20 to save their club. Public anger at Tinkler's broken promise likely influenced his May 1 about-face, in which he said he had recommitted to the club.
The Sydney Morning Herald said, "sources have told us that the flaying he's copped in recent weeks has … stunned Tinkler".

Forrest borrowed a vast amount of money. With it he has created thousands of jobs resulting in billions of dolars in tax revenue and royalty payments plus he has created thousands of real jobs for indigenous people. Would you prefer he didnt do that ? Would it be better if he sat on his bum like the rest of us and we didnt get all those jobs and all that government revenue. His own fortune is a house of cards. If demand for iron ore drops, the share price will drop and his wealth will disappear like it did in the GFC. What do you people want. The man does great things for Australia and you criticise him for it.

Forrest isn't dodging tax. You don't pay tax until you earn a profit. Mining companies always make losses when they start up as their expenses are huge and they have no revenue. Once they start producing the minerals do they earn revenue and become profitable.
Do you believe unemployed people are dodging tax by not earning money?
simon_b replied on Permalink
Sure, for the past 16 years Twiggy Forrest hasn't paid tax because he has made losses ... strange that he became a billionaire over the same period.
firstname.lastname@example.com replied on Permalink
Owning shares in a company is not the same as having cash. If he sold the shares for cash then he may become a billionaire. Any capital gain would be taxed (offset by any previous losses carried over). He would also be taxed on any income from investments. There is nothing strange about investing in a private company and the value of your shares changing (for better or worse). Also, as other posters have indicated if a company has not made profit then it is normal for that company not to be taxed.
While many of us may find capitalism unethical, I fail to see anything unethical in Twiggy's behaviour within the context of a mixed economy like Australia's, especially as he and his wife have pledged to donate half their wealth to worthy causes within their lifetimes.

OSLO (Reuters) - Former fighter pilot Bjoern Kjos stepped down on Thursday as chief executive of Norwegian Air (NWC.OL) after having helped to transform transatlantic travel.
Kjos, 72, grew Norwegian Air from a small domestic operation with 130 employees and four Fokker aircraft to a global carrier with more than 11,000 employees and 162 aircraft.
In the process he expanded the European budget airline business model to longer-haul destinations, making basic flights cheaper for those prepared to go without frills.
The question is whether the company can survive without him in the pilot's seat after running up hefty losses and high debts and having to raise 3 billion crowns ($351 million) from shareholders this year.
"This industry generates one or two extraordinary characters who are innovative, inventive and charismatic, and he was one of them," said James Halstead, managing partner at consultancy Aviation Strategy.
"Full praise to him for the way he built up Norwegian Air form the start. How he went about things is quite extraordinary."
Kjos will not retire completely but stay on as an adviser to the chairman. He will also keep his stake owned via HBK Invest, the holding company controlled by Kjos and former chairman Bjoern Kise, which own 17.02% of the airline.
"Bjoern has been the driving force behind the business – the big question now is whether Norwegian Air can maintain momentum as he takes a less active role," Bernstein said in a note to clients.
A mystery novel writer who once flew Cold War-era jet fighters, Kjos has been around planes for almost as long as he could remember.
His father built a private hangar on his land and often took his son with him up in the air, surveying farmland and selling the pictures to local landowners.
Despite having flown Lockheed F-104 Starfighters for the Norwegian air force, Kjos later failed to find work as a commercial pilot with SAS (SAS.ST) and spent years as a lawyer.
But then a friend called for help. SAS had just terminated a regional service contract with the airline he worked for. This left the company with little business and threatened the jobs of several friends.
Kjos searched for investors to bail out the company but raised less than half the required sum, so he sank what he has said was "several million" crowns of his own money into it and in 1993 helped found the new company, now called Norwegian Air Shuttle.
For years they operated out of pre-fabricated barracks on the edge of Fornebu, the then main airport for Oslo. The company slowly built up in its home market and in Scandinavia and overtook the dominant player, state-controlled SAS, in 2015.
Norwegian Air's planes, known for their trademark red noses, now fly to around 150 destinations.
The company has exported the low-cost model to longer flights, challenging the dominance of more established airlines.
In February it became the biggest non-North American airline to serve New York City, overtaking British Airways.
It has already been on the receiving end of a takeover approach from BA-owner IAG (ICAG.L) and the departure of Kjos is likely to spark further speculation.
"That (low-cost long-haul flights) may be in the end be his legacy even if Norwegian doesn't survive it - just by doing it showing that it can be done," said Halstead.
Kjos said he was "not sad at all" to leave his post and go into semi-retirement.
"First I'm going sailing," a cheerful Kjos told Reuters at his farewell news conference, adding that his first aim was to sail along the southwestern coast of Norway "depending on the winds".

Need expat info for Great Britain?
Pets in the UK
- As long as your cat or dog has a passport, bringing them with you to the UK is fairly straightforward. However, many other animals must spend 6 months in quarantine.
- The United Kingdom has strict laws in place in terms of the treatment of animals and, should you mistreat or act irresponsibly towards your companion in any way, you could face a hefty fine.
- Should you find yourself wanting another pet, there are plenty of organizations who can help you find the perfect animal — maybe your furry companion wants a friend.
The United Kingdom has a general reputation as an animal-friendly country, and most pets in the UK are indeed treated as cherished family companions. The British RSPCA (Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty towards Animals) is the oldest and largest animal welfare organization in the world. Founded in 1824, it has championed a humane treatment of pets in the UK ever since.
However, the island nation is keen on protecting pets, as well as livestock in general, from animal diseases. Animals may not need a UK visa, but every pet is subject to strict import regulations. If you want to avoid quarantine for your newly arrived pets in the UK, you may import them only from certain countries, and under specific conditions. Otherwise, they could be quarantined, re-exported or even put down.
Rules and Restrictions: Dogs, Cats, and Ferrets
The arrival of pets in the UK is regulated by DEFRA, the Department for the Environment, Food and Rural Affairs. Their import requirements largely depend on the country where you and your pets have previously lived and the different types of animals you want to take with you. For most expats, moving with pets probably means taking their dog or cat to an assignment in the UK.
A dog, cat, or ferret can be brought into the UK without quarantine if – and only if – you follow certain regulations. First of all, DEFRA will allow these pets in the UK without having them quarantined if they come from a "listed country".
Import from Listed Countries
The "listed countries" which participate in the European Union's pet travel scheme (PETS) include most members states and overseas territories of the EU and other countries, such as Argentina, Australia, Canada, Hong Kong, Iceland, Japan, Mexico, New Zealand, Norway, Russia, Singapore, Switzerland, the UAE, and the US.
If you arrive from a non-EU member state, please remember to declare your pet to HM Revenue & Customs.
If your pets have lived in one of these countries for at least six months, they may enter Britain without being quarantined. However, for the EU scheme to apply to your pets in the UK, there are several more conditions to fulfill.
- Your pet needs a microchip implant, unless it has a tattoo ID that was applied before July 2011.
- It must have been vaccinated against rabies recently.
- Your pet must have sufficient documentation, i.e. an EU pet passport or an official veterinary certificate.
- Your dog must have been treated for ticks and tapeworms within a period of one to five days before check-in.
- The pet has to arrive on an approved transport carrier and via an official route, by sea and rail or by air.
In practice, the last rule means that you may not keep any pets in the UK that have arrived on a private boat or plane. Moreover, before booking a flight or ship passage, you should check if the transport company qualifies as an approved commercial carrier and if your pet arrives in the correct port or airport.
Import from Unlisted Countries and Other Cases
If your dog or cat has lived in a non-listed country within six months before arriving in the UK, the pet travel scheme (PETS) does not apply. Therefore there are additional regulations for such pets in the UK. In addition to the rules mentioned above, you must wait for three months after the rabies immunization. After that waiting period, a blood sample needs to prove that the vaccination was successful. Only then can you bring your pets to the UK.
If your pet does not meet all these requirements, it will be quarantined, no matter where it comes from. Newly arrived pets in the UK may be kept in quarantine for several months and you will have to pay for all the costs yourself.
Moreover, certain dog breeds may not be imported from any country at all. These dogs can legally be seized and put down. Banned breeds include:
- Pit Bull Terriers
- Japanese Tosa
- Dogo Argentino
- Fila Brazailero
Rules and Restrictions: For the More Exotic Animals
To keep other animals from abroad – e.g. rabbits or birds – as pets in the UK, you need a special import license. These animals also have to spend up to six months in quarantine. However, there are certain exceptions for horses, which can travel under a plan similar to the pet travel scheme (PETS).
For any further questions on overseas pets in the UK, you can contact the Animal and Plant Health Agency (APHA):
Center for International Trade - Carlisle
Eden Bridge House Lowther Street
Carlisle CA3 8DX
+44 (0)3000 200301
The Animal Health Divisional Office can also provide you with more information if you want to keep imported exotic pets in the UK (e.g. lizards, turtles, snakes, spiders, etc.).
We do our best to keep this article up to date. However, we cannot guarantee that the information provided is always current or complete.

Last August, the University of Chicago Magazine asked Allen Sanderson to create an NCAA-like tournament with four regions, brackets and seeded teams. But instead of a field comprised of basketball squads, this one - dubbed "Market Madness" - was to contain 16 competitive factors contributing to the global financial meltdown of the last two years. (Their only constraint was that The Chicago School of Economics had to be a competitor.)Read the whole thing here
To get started, each "team" got a name and a brief description as to why it was included in the tourney. Chicago Alumni and friends then participated in on-line voting in Autumn 2009 to select their personal or preferred outcomes for each of the match-ups, which moved from the "Sweet 16" to the "Elite 8," and then to the "Final Four" and the ultimate winner (that is, the person or thing most responsible for the financial crisis and recession).
With permission from the University of Chicago Magazine, the AEA was pleased to offer its members a chance to fill out their own brackets and submit their entries and pick an ultimate "champion." Below you will find the four named regions, the four competitors in each region, and a brief introduction to each team.
Voting is now closed, and here are the results! (click here for a larger version)

Episode Four Pavel Gubarev Russian Entrepreneur
Pavel Gubarev Russian Entrepreneur. We first met Pavel Gubarev (not to be confused with another Pavel Gubarev the politician) here on the island of Samui in the gulf of Thailand.
Pavel Gubarev Russian Entrepreneur
He was the first Russian we ever met. Growing up in Canada during the cold war with Russia and America, we would look down from the north with our long cold noses and often disapprove of America's doings but we mostly followed the US and the ramifications of the Cold War, often withholding an opinion.
So when Pavel and I first met, I was halfway brainwashed from all that sabre rattling over the years looking down from the Great White North.
Turns out, we hit it off immediately and now we're old friends.
Also we forgot to ask Pavel about his video game that he created. I recall it was a fun with science based game and there was a duck.
Pavel Gubarev, Russian entrepreneur. He doesn't call himself that. That's something I call him, based on his amazing knowledge and success, and it makes a good title.
We gotta get this guy on again. He knows a lot of things.
In the video above we talked about "Lions Mane" We get it at iherb.com
This in not an Affiliate Link (but it could be)
It was great to see him on James B Podcasts Episode Four. It had been 3 years. I said, Pavel you look the same. He said, you look the same too. I said, that's nice but I'm still bald.
Three years go Pavel had to cut his Samui vacation short because of the looming economic sanctions crisis in Russia. That was the last time I saw Pavel Gubarev.
Until the above podcast.

A quick report on last week's post about auction season in Washington wine country.
The FareStart auction had a big night on Sunday. The annual gala raised more than $906,000 for the Seattle non-profit that helps homeless and disadvantaged individuals by training them for the food service and hospitality industries. More than half of the total came during the paddle call, an astonishing 15 minutes or so that generated more than $422,000!
The wine section of the silent auction featured more than 75 lots, many of them from some of Washington's most high-profile wineries. I focused my attention on large format bottles (despite the growing belief that these bottles are just auction candy) and picked up some beauties – a 2009 double magnum (3L) of Reynvaan's sublime 'In The Rocks' Syrah (right) and a pair of magnums (1.5L) made by Chuck Reininger in Walla Walla, one filled with his '07 Carmenere and the other with a seductive '03 Bordeaux blend called Desiderata.
The matched pair of magnums from Cayuse, including a '09 Impulsivo Tempranillo, quickly jumped out of my budget range… sigh!
For the first time since we've been attending the FareStart auction, a Washington winery hosted a tasting table during the silent auction reception. FIGGINS and Doubleback poured their '09 blend and '09 Cab, respectively. Beautiful wines, and the table was crowded throughout the reception. The FareStart crowd is a well-heeled, wine-loving bunch and this is great exposure – I wonder if other Washington wineries will try to jump on this next year.
Over in Walla Walla on Saturday night, Entwine raised more than $130,000 to benefit educational initiatives at Walla Walla Community College, including the Center for Enology and Viticulture and the school's prestigious culinary program.
One of the evening's highlights was watching the students in action, said Doug Bayne, WWCC's director of resource development. "It was very rewarding for those of us at the college to see students from our culinary and arts programs and E&V center for transforming the Dietrich Dome into a festive setting and delivering a gourmet meal with world-class wines for 280 guests."
Another highlight was the excellent video produced by WWCC students that profiled graduates from the school's E&V program and culinary program. When the video ended, you could have heard a pin drop in the room, Bayne said. Cue the paddle call!
… a peek into Washington wine heaven for large-format geeks
Of course, no wine auction is complete without wine. Three lots that caught my eye from the Entwine bid book:
FIGGINS Estate Package: Etched magnums of Leonetti merlot and FIGGINS Estate red, plus 25 lbs. of natural grass-fed beef from Figgins Family's Lostine Cattle Company and a spot on the Leonetti allocation list. Lostine & Leonetti – it's what's for dinner!
Cayuse Winery Package: An etched, signed and waxed 3L of 2010 Callioux Vineyard Syrah, plus a spot on the Cayuse allocation list.
Entwine Advisory Board package of Large Format bottles: This one was a peek into Washington wine heaven for large-format geeks. A collection of eight Jeroboams from Ensemble Cellars, FIGGINS, L'Ecole, Leonetti, Pepper Bridge, Rulo, Walla Walla Vintners and Woodward Canyon. Add 50 pounds of chips and dip, and you've got yourself a helluva party.
As I said last week, this is the best small-market wine auction in the U.S., largely because it reflects the friendly, inclusive nature of Walla Walla and its burgeoning wine community. The bad news: We couldn't attend this year. The good news: We have it penciled in for 2013.

Chaotic Sword God - Chapter 1257
Chapter 1257: Reconstruction Gel
After removing the energy crystal from the Xuanhuang beast's corpse, Jian Chen tossed the carcass into his Space Ring. He had obtained a Class 7 and 8 Monster Core in less than half a day after coming here, which delighted him very much. At the same time, he believed that there would definitely be even more Class 7 and 8 Xuanhuang beasts as he progressed further into the depths. That way, he would be able to obtain more and more of these energy crystals. He might even be able to break through to the fourth layer using the energy crystals from the Xuanhuang Microcosm.
Although Jian Chen had managed to increase his chaotic neidan from the size of a chicken egg to the size of a fist and reached the peak of the third layer back in the whirlpool of energy, it did not increase his battle prowess at all. It only made the Chaotic Force he could store in his dantian reach to a limit. Only by breaking through and reaching the fourth layer could his strength increase.
Jian Chen returned to the hill. His battle with the Class 8 Xuanhuang beast was extremely short, having ended in less than a minute. Tie Ta remained in the sea of flowers. He was intoxicated by the fragrance so much that he could not return to himself.
Jian Chen glanced at Tie Ta from quite far away and did not disturb him. He knew that Tie Ta was no weaker than him right now, but the matters he had experienced and the heavenly resources he had come across were nowhere near as plentiful. The fragrance of the Heaven-connecting Flowers was extremely attractive to someone who had not come across various heavenly resources before, let alone Tie Ta who had rarely ever come across any of them. This was why Tie Ta's immunity for the flowers was not as great as his own.
Jian Chen arrived in front of the Comprehension Tea Tree and was about to begin collecting the leaves. The reason why he had fought the Xuanhuang beast five kilometers away was because he was afraid that the ripples of battle would damage the tree. He did not want such a valuable Comprehension Tea Tree to be destroyed by his own carelessness.
"Master, the Comprehension Tea Leaves are rather different from regular heavenly resources. You must not use your hands to touch the leaves when you collect them. You must use their branches instead. At the same time, you cannot use jade boxes to store them. It would be best if you used wooden boxes created from the trees that naturally grow grow in the Xuanhuang Microcosm," Zi Ying warned Jian Chen. He was afraid that Jian Chen would store the tea leaves like any other heavenly resource and either ruin its quality as a result or destroy them entirely.
Jian Chen immediately used the Emperor Armament to chop down a 30-centimeter-wide tree nearby. The trees in the Xuanhuang Microcosm were extremely tough. Jian Chen needed to swing the sword several times to cut through the tree that was only as thick as his waist. Afterward, he hollowed out a piece of wood and created a simple and extremely rough-looking box before returning to the location of Comprehension Tea Tree. He gently snapped off a few branches of the tree and used them as chopsticks, removing the leaves one by one.
The leaves of the Comprehension Tea Tree took an extremely long time to grow. They would only grow back after ten thousand years. However, this also meant that basically every time the worldly ebb descended, the trees would be covered in leaves again, so Jian Chen did not hold back. He removed all eighty-one leaves on the tree and carefully stored them in his wooden box before sealing it up with self-crafted wooden nails.
"Master, these Comprehension Tea Leaves are only of the first grade of the Immortal Tier. They're the lowest quality in the entire the entire Xuanhuang Microcosm. You'll definitely come across trees of higher quality as you head further into the depths. Different quality leaves need to be stored separately, so it's best if you make a few more boxes," Qing Suo explained to Jian Chen.
As a result, Jian Chen made a few more simple boxes from the remaining wood, around a dozen just in case. Every single one of them was around half the size of his body, so they could easily store several hundred tea leaves.
Jian Chen originally planned to take the tree with him and plant in the outside world, but he could only give up on that idea after he learned from the Azulet sword spirits that the tree could only grow within the Xuanhuang Microcosm, and it would immediately wilt if it left the realm. Clearly, Comprehension Tea Trees could not be planted like the Heaven-connecting Flowers.
In the end, Jian Chen left behind the bare Comprehension Tea Tree. It stood all by itself on top of the hill. Although its trunk was filled with vigor, there was not a single leaf left. It seemed like an old man who had all his hair plucked out.
Afterward, Jian Chen arrived before the Spring of Life several dozen meters away. The pool was much larger than the one he had come across in the across in the small forest, and it contained several times more spring water as well, reaching over five hundred liters. A ball of essence sat at the bottom of the pool as well.
Jian Chen immediately pulled out several storage containers from his Space Ring to collect the spring water. He removed around two hundred and fifty liters, half of the total again. He obviously did not miss the essence either.
Jian Chen checked through the lair of the Xuanhuang beast after collecting the spring water, but he found nothing. He then called over Tie Ta to leave. He continued into the depths of the region by following the sword spirits' directions.
But after traveling for ten kilometers, Jian Chen finally came across the other material that the sea goddess needed to reconstruct her body. It was a white substance the size of a fist and slightly transparent. It was soft to the touch and elastic, but it was extremely tough at the same time. Jian Chen was unable to rip it in half when he used all his force.
"Master, this is called Reconstruction Gel. It can reconstruct the bodies of people. It's something extremely common in our former world, but we never thought that the sea goddess mentioned by master would understand the usages of this gel. She really has surprised us," said Zi Ying.

3 Kernels
My particular giggle was one scene in Episode 1 where all the men on the block get in their cars and drive away for work at the same time. Standing on the sidewalk are their wives, wearing their day dresses, looking primp and proper, and waving at them goodbye. Some know how to keep occupied in their roles as housewives, while others who have given up careers to marry are bored to death.
The story is about a group of men and women – doctors, nurses, wives – who live out their secrets but are intertwined with one another in many ways. Jack Davenport plays the dreamy Otto Powell, who is the best doctor on staff, a man filled with wisdom and deep regret, in a marriage of convenience, and has a longing for one of the new nurses on the staff. His attempts to woo her throughout the series doesn't succeed until the end. The outcome I will not spoil.
Otto, you see, has a dark secret. He has tried to redeem himself, but falls prey to an inspector who is back in his life and out for blood. How that entire matter plays out is slightly disturbing and shocking to say the least. It was a great disappointment to me that the show was cancelled, because it left a huge gap of what the future would hold for Otto and his family. Perhaps I should write a sequel.
The show does deal also with abortion as Otto and his side-kick doctor take trips in the dead of night to relieve women of the mistakes they've made or the inconvenience of bringing a child into the world. Even though abortion is illegal, he continues to put himself at risk, along with his anesthesiologist friend and a nurse. For some it's a matter of principle and others a way to earn extra money. It may be controversial to some viewers, so be prepared to handle it. In addition to the subject matter above, you'll be exposed to 1950's thinking in the medical world about female health and gynecology.
In any event, I found the show fairly entertaining and enjoyable, since it's right up my alley age-wise. Though not the greatest in British TV, I still would have enjoyed a second season.

Dispatches hit the cyber street the Flashback Trojan was hitting Mac OS X machines. Apple wasted no time as they released a fix to stop the latest variant of the password-stealing malware.
The update closes vulnerabilities in Java 1.6.0_29, including a serious hole that allowed an untrusted Java applet to help spread the malicious code.
Mozilla Blacklists Java Plug-in
Chrome 18 Closes Security Holes
Opera Closes Security Holes
Firefox: Secure Search by Default
The quick turnaround is yet another indication of the widespread threat posed by the continuously mutating Flashback malware since millions of Web pages run on Java, and computers can become infected merely by a user visiting a malicious page.
The Apple product update is available for Mac OS X v10.6.8, Mac OS X Server v10.6.8, OS X Lion v10.7.3 and Lion Server v10.7.3. "The most serious of the vulnerabilities allowed an untrusted Java applet to execute arbitrary code outside the Java sandbox," Apple said. The patch also addresses other Java vulnerabilities.
Despite taking less than a day to issue the update after security researchers said the Trojan hit the Mac platform, security sites also said Oracle released a patch to fix the Java flaw for Windows in February.
"For the protection of our customers, Apple does not disclose, discuss, or confirm security issues until a full investigation has occurred and any necessary patches or releases are available," the company said.
Prior to the patch, security researchers began urged Apple users to disable Java on their Mac machines to avoid widespread infection. Flashback first hit the street last fall disguised as an Adobe Flash Player installer and has since mutated into various forms — all designed to steal passwords and gain access to online financial accounts.
In a related development, Mozilla blacklisted all but the most recent version of Java to protect users who may not be aware of the flaw and attacks. Flashback targets Safari and Firefox Web browsers.

Another day, another new offering from Amazon Web Services. Today, the company rolled out Amazon Glacier, described as a low-cost storage, data archiving and backup service.
"With Amazon Glacier, customers can reliably store large or small amounts of data for as little as $0.01 per gigabyte per month, a significant savings compared to on-premises solutions," the company writes on its Web site.
The company said that Glacier is ideal for data that must be archived, but not frequently accessed. Examples include: digital media archives, financial documents, healthcare records and raw genomic sequence.
Amazon said that companies typically overpay for data archiving, in part because they have to guess how much capacity they need. With Glacier, companies don't pay any costs upfront, and pay for only the amount of storage they use.
In a press release, Complete Genomics Keith Raffel said that the company is producing terabytes of data each day that must be stored. "As our company moves into the clinical space, we face a legal requirement to archive patient data for years that would drastically raise the cost of storage," Raffel said. "Thanks to Amazon Glacier's secure and scalable solution, we will be able to provide cost-effective, long-term storage and thereby eliminate a barrier to providing whole genome sequencing for medical treatment of cancer and other genetic diseases."
"Today, most businesses rely on expensive, brittle, and inflexible tape for their archiving solution," said Alyssa Henry, Vice President of AWS Storage Services. "This approach requires expensive upfront payments, is difficult to operate and maintain, and leads to wasted capacity and money."
Other players in the cloud storage arena include Symform, a Seattle startup that raised $11 million in funding earlier this year.

Srinagar, Oct 21 (IANS) Authorities imposed restrictions in parts of Srinagar city on Saturday to maintain law and order in the wake of a separatist-called protest shutdown against growing incidents of braid chopping.
"Restrictions have been imposed in Nowhatta, M.R. Gunj, Rainawari, Khanyar, Safa Kadal, Maisuma and Kralkhud areas," the police said.
The separatist leaders have appealed to people to hand over suspected braid choppers to mosque committees and not to deal with them directly.
The separatists have blamed the police for its failure to nabbing the culprits.
Shops, public transport and educational institutions remained closed in most parts of Srinagar city.
Private transport, however, moved on uptown and city outskirts.
All exams scheduled for Saturday have been postponed by the University of Kashmir.
There have been over 120 reports of braid chopping in the Kashmir Valley in the last two months, with mobs beating up strangers, tourists and even Army men in plainclothes on suspicion of being braid choppers.

Throughout the month of April, you may see blue and silver pinwheels at various locations. To raise awareness of April as Child Abuse Prevention Month, Prevent Child Abuse New York and its sister chapters around the nation mobilize Pinwheels for Prevention campaigns. Pinwheels symbolize a happy, carefree childhood and the belief that assisting children early is less costly than trying to fix problems after things go wrong. Everyone has a role in preventing child abuse and supporting families.
Individuals, businesses, schools, community organizations, volunteers, policy makers and families can get involved by: planting pinwheels gardens in a public place, wearing pinwheel lapels, displaying car and storefront clings and signing a promise to prevent child abuse.
Preventing child abuse often happens at the community level. A strong, supportive community that values parenting and families makes a safe and healthy environment for children. Successful family-support and child abuse programs bolster protective factors by: facilitating friendships and support, strengthening parenting and providing extra support to families when they need it.
Every child deserves a healthy, nurturing childhood and the opportunity to grow to become a caring, productive adult. Unfortunately, the stress of child abuse and neglect can damage a developing child's brain in ways that may create poor outcomes that last a lifetime. Please join us in our work to give every parent, child and community in New York a healthy and successful future. The leaders of tomorrow are counting on us.
For more information related to defining and recognizing child abuse/neglect, please visit www.preventchildabuseny.org. To access information, tips or additional support, please call 1-800-CHILDREN. This service is a free, confidential information and referral service. If you suspect a child is being abused or neglected, please contact the NYS Hotline at 1-800-342-3720.
Remember Prevention Works!

One vote on an obscure governmental body you might not have heard of Monday evening means you won't be able to vote on whether you should be able to vote on whether the Ramsey County sheriff should be voted on at all.
Got it?
Here's another way to put it: If Ramsey County Sheriff Bob Fletcher wants to run for re-election in two years, he can, thanks to one vote — or lack of it — on the Ramsey County Charter Commission.
The Charter Commission, an appointed 17-member panel that has jurisdiction over the county's version of its constitution, was considering whether to place a question on the November ballot. It would have asked voters whether the office of sheriff should be elected or appointed.
It needed nine votes. It got eight.
That the roll call was an 8-8 tie makes no difference — although local political observers likely will try to track down Sharon Klumpp, former executive director of the Metropolitan Council and a one-time candidate for Minnetonka city manager. Klumpp, the only member of the Charter Commission absent Monday, appeared warm to the idea of putting the sheriff matter on the ballot, said Chair Mike Fratto, who supported the measure but predicted it would fail.
A phone call to Klumpp's Vadnais Heights home was unanswered after the meeting.
The issue of whether to appoint or elect a sheriff — the vast majority of counties nationwide elect them — had been a contentious and politically charged one on the commission on and off for at least a decade. In the 1990s, the group, consisting of largely different individuals, commissioned a study on the issue, though that commission never reached the point of a vote.
Fratto introduced the issue Monday by saying, "We've now come to the point in time where we need to discuss what we've been doing for the last couple of years."
The debate's political overtones aren't surprising, considering Fletcher, now in his fourth term, often has been at the center of political passion. Most recently, he beat out former St. Paul Police Chief Bill Finney by 1,133 votes, fewer than 1 percent of the votes cast.
When asked after the vote whether the issue was dead, Fratto responded, "I suspect it's going to be the end of it, unless someone wants to bring it up again."

"Our job as educators and leaders is not to control others but to bring out the best in them." – Innovator's Mindset, pg 98
As I have mentioned before, I recently started a game design club at the middle school where I work. I ended up with a large group of kids. I am supposed to have 66 if all kids show, and I had 55 last week at the first meeting. I'm crazy and nuts for keeping my group so large, but I do have 2 parent volunteers and as long as the behavior is good, we'll keep the large group.
Keeping so large a group is a tricky little beast. The students meet in the library and are seated at tables that hold 5. I use one particular tool for most of my management, and that's so I can get the students' attention quickly and easily when I need to give guidance on the next topic. If you've heard of Kagan strategies, then you know about high five. Basically, the teacher holds up a hand, says "high five!", and the student response is to hold up a hand in return, mouths closed. A bit of compliance, yes, but simply so the group can regroup and move forward.
The goal of the club is to teach game design, and a lot of that is done through quests (via Gamestar Mechanic) and then the students' own projects. I want the focus of the club mostly on student designing, so I am carefully scouring the lesson plans provided by Gamestar and using that to create my own. I set up the week's plans via Google Classroom so that all of the students can be on the same page. Gamestar uses 5 simple lessons to get things started, and then students can branch from there. The basic 5 lessons are meant to teach basic concepts. Once that's done, there are many routes to take.
For example, this week, students focus on the elements of game design, the big backbone for all of their future work. Every game designed always features the 5 elements- mechanics, components, space, goals, and rules. I want to make sure to hit this one on the head, but I don't want to make it all lecture. That's boring and the students don't get to do much with that route. The lesson I found details it as where I introduce it, then the students complete episodes 3 and 4 to play games that utilize it, and then we come back together for discussion.
Because this lesson is so important to game design in general, I want to add in some empowerment, and may extend the lesson further into the next week. I'm thinking of having the students first focus on one particular element and create a game in their workshop focused around that, asking them to blatantly ignore all other elements in their design process. Then I want them to design a game where they focus on all 5 equally. Since they won't have finished the first quest in its entirety yet, they won't have all the sprites from it, but they can still use what they have to make something. I need to mull it over and put it into my plans.
Looking toward the future in the group, I want to have a lot more projects where students are given the basic parameters and then set free to create while I work on facilitating. It will help prepare them for the STEM Video Game Design Challenge in the spring. I also want to borrow the idea of an Identity Day for game design. I want to see what games students identify with and are passionate about, what their influences might be when it comes to their games that they'll design. Influences are important, no matter what field, and I already know this crew loves talking about their favorite games.
I used to think engagement was key back when I was in the classroom. Oh, I was good at getting the students' attention all right. I loved being a goofball, and using that to design lessons that grabbed the students' attention, such as my Power Rangers Rock Cycle demonstration. Looking back now, that wasn't all I needed to do. I should have engaged, yes, because that got their attention initially. What I failed to do was take that interest from being engaged and use it to empower the students to take control of their learning, which is what I should have been doing. I know better now. Engage first, but empower more than anything. I'm going to demonstrate that with Fluco Game Designers. I can't wait!

Members of the Nzuko Obodoukwu clan in Imo State have held a rally to call for better resources to aid the rescue of people still trapped in the rubble of the seven-storey building that collapsed in Rivers State more than one week ago.
Members of the clan expressed dissatisfaction with the slow rate of work recorded by the evacuation team, adding that one of their family members is trapped in the building.
President of the clan, Benjamin Obidegwu, stated that the clan had assisted with the evacuation, and expressed sadness that hopes of rescuing others trapped under the rubble is fading.
Obidiegwu also disclosed that a brother of one of the victims had to buy diesel for the evacuation team to aid the rescue process.
"We have tried in our capacity to get the needed help at rescuing not only our brother, but all others trapped under the debris of the collapsed structure. The brother of one the victims had to buy 150 litres of diesel after the rescue team stopped work due to shortage of diesel," he said.
The Nzuko Obodoukwu clan maintained that those yet to be rescued, if alive, would not be in the right frame of mind.
They, however, questioned the lack of urgency and resources deployed to rescue those still trapped.
"We wish to state categorically that the resources deployed to save our brother, Morgan, and others leaves much to be desired. The lack of urgency on the part of the rescue team and the low sympathy this ugly incident got, necessitated by the worrisome disposition of the media, is a cause for concern," he said.
He urged all relevant agencies to hasten up the pace of rescue activities at the site.
Meanwhile, the South-South Zonal Coordinator of the National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA), Martins Ejike, had disclosed that 44 people have been brought out --- 31 alive and 13 dead.
Ejike lamented the lack of adequate manpower in carrying out their operations, adding that the rescue team had to work with the assistance of collaborators.

I'm not quite sure what has happened this year but my usual January healthy eating kick just hasn't really got going! I blame the mild December we had followed by the sudden chill we got in the last few weeks. So this and the need to use up some leftover food from Christmas has meant my January recipes look nothing like those of previous years and instead are full of comfort food. Forgive me then for another Bread and Butter style pudding in the form of Chocolate Orange Panettone Pudding but I thought perhaps I wasn't the only one who had bought extra after Christmas so if you'd like to use yours up in an extra delicious way, then this recipe is for you!
If you're not keen on orange zest you could always leave it out and if you had more chocolate chips you could add more. I used 20g as that is all that I had as I have a chocolate Hoover in the house, namely my daughter, so if it's not bolted down I'm very lucky to find any left!
Have you managed to get you January off to a healthy start or are you like me and seem to be hanging on to the winter comfort food? I'm not going to beat myself up over it as things will balance out very soon I'm sure, spring is just around the corner after all! A feel a wave of healthy posts coming on, just you wait and see:-)
I asked some other bloggers for their Bread and Butter Pudding creations and here is what they had to offer:

To be alive and feeling great each day is a blessing that few are capable of, but by tuning oneself it is possible to be feeling alive and happy each day. Once you know that life is only limited and can not go beyond a time it is best to avoid thinking of the end but to be living in the real sense of it, with out a worry for the future or the past. Why dig yourself a grave and be waiting for death worrying about it all through out , instead you can face it when one comes to the real end. There is no need for you to be waiting for your end or hastening towards your dooms day by indulging in drugs drinks or the very thought of death itself is miserable and should be avoided.
I am of the opinion that the drug addicts actually are committing slow suicide by being a slave of any such drug or is dependable on alcohol. It is due to their depression or ignorance of the actual life and its meaning. If one is able to make some difference to some one in life by doing good deeds then ones life becomes meaningful. Those who think negative are those who don't want to help others instead are selfish and is not happy with in themselves due to their expectation from life which is much more than a life time full of bliss. Try to find happiness in little things around you for instance the laughter of a baby or the joyful bark of a dog can actually make one happy if you are tuned to find the thoughts that leaves you happy and content with what you have and have no more wishes or greed in other words.
To spend more time with children are blissful because they are either happy laughing or crying for some thing which you can manage for them and make them happy. animals too are a happy lot most of the times other wise only when they endure pain do they tend to be un happy. Human beings can learn a lot from children and animals ,birds and fish and nature itself is full of things to make us happy instead we tend to find only the negatives in life and are mostly un happy or depressed which is not a healthy way of living.
The old song "don't worry be happy" does really have a meaning to it. Life is worth living to its fullness, we must be aware the importance of knowing the art of living.

Mysuru: The controversial Mysuru-Madikeri line, which the environmentalists are opposing strongly as it will damage the ecologically sensitive zone, will be terminated at Kushalnagar only.
This fact came to light when MP Pratap Simha enquired the status of the new line survey between Mysuru to Madikeri via Kushalnagar. He suggested that it should be restricted only to Kushalanagar to establish connectivity to Kodagu district.
Both the MPs Pratap Simha and R. Dhruvanarayan brought up this issue at the meeting of the MPs yesterday held at the DRM's Office and said that the State Government will not allow the proposed rail link to Madikeri from Thalassery in Kerala as the region is ecologically sensitive which was proved by the recent floods and landslides.
According to Simha, the project would end at Alur Siddapura, after linking Hunsur and Periyapatna. The issue had already been discussed with Railway Minister Piyush Goel and there was nothing further to discuss about the project. He, however, said that he would communicate the same through a letter in this regard.

Michael Laskey
b. 1944
" The Laskey effect...is of suddenly sensing that more meaning is inherent in 'ordinary' moments than we were expecting. - Mark Halliday "

b. 1944
" The Laskey effect...is of suddenly sensing that more meaning is inherent in 'ordinary' moments than we were expecting. - Mark Halliday "
Michael Laskey (b. 1944) is a poet, editor and a tireless champion of contemporary poetry, particularly through the international Aldeburgh Poetry Festival which he co-founded in 1989 and which continues to be an important showcase for poets from around the world. Educated at St John's College, Cambridge, he taught in secondary schools for ten years. Since 1978 he has lived in Suffolk, working as a freelance writer and editor and as a creative writing tutor for both adults and children. Married to a GP, Laskey was also the main carer for the couple's three sons in their pre-school years, an experience which finds its way into a number of poems.
As well as founding the Aldeburgh Festival, in 1991 Laskey also set up the poetry magazine, Smiths Knoll, with the late Roy Blackman. His own poems have appeared in three pamphlets and four collections, his first full-length collection, Thinking of Happiness, appearing in 1991. This was a Poetry Book Society Recommendation as was his second collection, The Tightrope Wedding, which was also shortlisted for the T S Eliot Prize. A new and selected poems, The Man Alone was published in 2008.
Like the page-turner of his poem of the same name, Laskey is an unobtrusive observer of detail and emotional nuance. The US critic, Mark Halliday, praises this restraint in his analysis of a typical Laskey poem, with its "sense of having arrived at the ending a bit sooner and more quietly than expected." It's a technique which sends the reader back to the start of a poem to see what he's missed. In 'Rain' for instance, the seemingly minor details about a leak in the pantry can be seen, in retrospect, as building up to a contrast with the narrator's children who've been absorbed in making canals and seas. Laskey's poems are particularly good at capturing this intersection of intimacy and distance, for example in the avoidance of illness in 'Picking Raspberries with My Mother'.
This is domestic territory but without a hint of the cosiness this term might imply: in 'Home Movies' what starts as comedy ends in "that slither of negatives" as the poet watches the film of his parents' wedding in reverse. Elsewhere the tone is more celebratory in poems which uphold the rituals of daily living, like the preparing and sharing of food, and which, in the words of fellow poet Craig Raine, "keep faith with actual experience."
The music of Laskey's poetry is also subtle and supple. Making use of half and slant rhymes, they proceed with what his colleague at Aldeburgh Festival, Naomi Jaffa, has described as "a glorious lack of fuss." This is evident in his Archive recording which, like the poems themselves, has a stealthy power.

The purpose of Academic Standing is to provide you with a mechanism that allows you to see how you are progressing in your studies. It helps us to identify and acknowledge your progress, and recognise when you need extra assistance.
Your grades are used to calculate your standing. The process is run at the end of each semester and Summer School once your grades are available. Results for Double Semester courses are included at the end of Semester Two.
Your first University Academic Standing is calculated at the end of your first enrolment period and then every following semester, including Summer School. Depending on your grades, you will be assigned one of the following standings:
Course Standing of Excluded: This is your standing if you fail a course twice. Fail results are D, E, F and DNC. This can apply to any course, from any enrolment period.
Qualification Standing of Excluded: This is your standing if you are enrolled in a qualification with specific progression or exclusion rules and fail to meet the requirements. This only applies to a small number of qualifications.
For more details about the standings see Academic Standing Statuses.
When the academic standing process is run, you will receive a message in your student homepage of your provisional standing. If you don't read the message within 24 hours, you will be sent an email reminding you to check your messages.
Be sure to review new standings promptly as you only have five working days to lodge a submission. Once your provisional academic standing is confirmed, you have five working days to lodge an appeal.
PhD and research masters students are excluded from the University Academic Standing and Course Academic Standing process.
Additional information is included in our Academic Standing FAQs. You can also use our interactive Massey Academic Standing Tool to see what your University Academic Standing means, what the impact is, and what you can expect in the future.

How To Deal With Sleep Deprivation? 5 Ways That Work
You cannot be successful if you are sleep deprived. You can work for longer hours but it cannot be as effective as you can make it. When you sleep, your brain removes the toxins from the body and makes you feel relaxed.
If you do not sleep the required hours your brain will function slow and you will be more physically as well as emotionally stressed. Here are ways to deal with it:
How to deal with sleep deprivation:
No sleeping pills:
If you think you can take pills and sleep, you are just harming your body. It will take away the natural capacity of the body to sleep.And not to forget there are side-effects as well.
Stay away from caffeine:
We are so used to our regular tea and coffee such that we cannot stay away from it. Caffeine is said to interfere with the natural sleeping habit of the body and it creates an adrenaline rush. Avoid taking any caffeine consumption after lunch.
Avoid blue light:
Most of the time we keep fiddling with the phone such that we forget how it affects the sleeping pattern. The blue light emitted by these mobile phones controls the mood and the energy levels It stops the production of melatonin which is the sleep inducing hormones, thus deprives you from sleep.
Wake up at the same time:
This is the common mistake that we all make. We wake up at different times on different days. Thus, the body doesn't know which sleeping pattern to follow. If you are consistent in following the a sleep time and a wake up time, you are sure to get sleep everyday.
Stop working:
When you are really sleep, stop the work and hit the bed before the sleep vanishes.
Thus, work in a balanced manner and let not your body be sleep deprived.
