Letter to Mayor of Kenora re: Indigenous reconciliation
March 30, 2017 - Dear Mayor Canfield, thank you for taking the time to meet with us on February 15 in Kenora. As you know, we met with various members of the local Indigenous community at the Ne-Chee Friendship Centre, visited the Kenora Jail and met with Treaty 3 Grand Chief Francis Kavanaugh. During these visits we heard about challenges faced by Indigenous people related to education, child welfare, policing, corrections, and housing.

Public workshop 17/08/2019
Have you ever wondered what being a chocolatier would feel like? Wait no longer! At The Belgian Chocolate Makers, every Saturdays, you can now create your own traditional Belgian chocolates with your friends, family or colleagues in our public workshops in the heart of Brussels.
During our public workshops, you will learn how to temperate correctly the chocolate with a complete demo made for you by our chocolate workers. You will get lots of explanations and tricks from us and we will allow you to dive into the fascinating world of chocolate. After the demo and the explanations, you will make your own truffles, mendiants and a very personalized chocolate tablet.
During the public workshop you will also discover the fourth chocolate. After dark, milk and white, ruby is the most extraordinary chocolate discovery in 80 years. This gift of mother nature surprises and bedazzles. It brings a completely new chocolate taste and colour experience, born from the ruby cocoa bean without adding any colourants or fruit flavourings.
I am waiting to welcome you at The Belgian Chocolate Makers !
Patricia Lafargue
Store Manager

Stopping and Restarting Anti-HIV Drugs in Children and Adolescents With Low Blood Levels of HIV
National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID)
Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD)

National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID)

Last updated: October 4, 2013
Last Verified: October 2013
History of Changes
Some patients taking anti-HIV drugs as part of highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) do not show any HIV in the blood; however, some HIV will remain hidden in the body and, if the drugs are stopped, will return to the blood. The purpose of this study is to determine if short periods of stopping HAART increase the activity of CD8 and CD4 cells (cells of the immune system that fight infection), if repeated stopping of these drugs for longer periods of time and restarting them will increase effectiveness of HAART, and if the increased immune system activity as a result of stopping treatment leads to lower levels of HIV over time.
HIV Infections
|Study Type:
|Study Design:
Time Perspective: Prospective
|Official Title:
|Intensification of HIV-Specific CD4 and CD8 Activity by Cycling Highly Active Antiretroviral Therapy (HAART) in Pediatric/Adolescent Patients With Less Than 50 HIV RNA Copies/ml
Further study details as provided by National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID):
|Study Completion Date:
|October 2006
Detailed Description:
Some HIV infected patients taking HAART have been able to achieve prolonged suppression of
HIV viral load for extended periods of time. However, discontinuing HAART has consistently
resulted in HIV's return to plasma. Both CD8 and CD4 cells are markedly reduced in
individuals with prolonged HIV suppression; control of and response to cell-associated HIV is
dependent on immune-mediated mechanisms involving these cells. It is hypothesized that a
brief and low-level increase in HIV levels resulting from HAART interruption might boost
HIV-specific CD8 and CD4 T-cell counts. After suppression of viral load with the
reintroduction of HAART, the expanded CD8 population might be able to better control viral
replication and better respond to cell-associated HIV. Future treatment interruption may lead
to longer periods of undetectable viral loads.
Patients are divided into 2 age cohorts, with Cohort 1 consisting of children and adolescents 4 years and older up to 21 years of age, and Cohort 2 consisting of children and adolescents 2 years and older up to 4 years of age. Patients will be assigned to one of 2 groups. Group A patients will participate in drug holiday cycles from HAART and then back to HAART; Group B is a control group that remains on continuous HAART throughout the study. Cycle 1 for Group A patients begins with 18 days of HAART and a 3-day drug holiday. At the end of the drug holiday, viral load is measured and HAART is resumed for 28 days (detectable virus cycle) if viral load is detectable after the drug holiday. If viral load remains below the level of detection, the patient begins the next drug holiday cycle. With each subsequent drug holiday cycle, time off HAART will increase by 2 days. Patients failing 4 repeated detectable virus (28-day treatment) cycles will be taken off study.
Patients will be enrolled in this study for a minimum of 142 weeks. For Group A, HIV viral load and CD4 cell count are measured at the end of each drug holiday and each HAART resumption; HIV-specific CD4 and CD8 responses are measured every 3 cycles; and cell-associated HIV is assessed at entry, at 12-week intervals, and at the end of the study. For Group B, physical exams are conducted and HIV viral load and other blood work are measured every 12 weeks.

1. What am I currently working on?
At present, I am putting the finishing touches on agent-suggested revisions to my historical novel set at the opulent court of François I in the winter of 1539. As François's arch-enemy Charles V of Spain arrives for a crucial state visit, three women--a painter, the king's mistress, and an artist's model--become embroiled in a web of rivalries that threatens the very peace of France. Narrated from the alternating perspectives of painter, patron and painted, the novel plumbs the world of the court artist and exposes the forces that transform the worthiest of ambitions into the most vicious of rivalries.
2) How does my work differ from others in the genre?
With a Ph.D in sixteenth-century French, I hope to offer a depth of research and a sensibility that will bring the early modern world fully alive. I present a broader, continental perspective on the ever-popular Tudor era by focusing on the court of François I, Henry VIII's personal and political rival, a man as equally fascinating and ambitious as the English king. François dreamt of transforming France into a New Rome of art and culture, and my novel centers on his efforts to build at Fontainebleau a palace to rival the glories of Italy. My work will appeal to readers with a penchant for France as well as readers of Tudor fiction who are looking for something different.
A life-long lover of France and French culture, I want to share the fascinating things I've learned in the course of my academic studies with a general audience. As a reader, I am always eager to find historical fiction set in early modern France, and am usually disappointed in my search--this rich period has hardly been plumbed! As a writer, therefore, I am following the advice writers so often hear--to write the books I myself would love to read. (Of course, I hope others will love to read them, too!)
I've written two complete manuscripts, and the approach was slightly different for each. In my first manuscript, every character, with one exception, was a fictional creation. Wanting to explore the challenges that faced a woman with literary aspirations in the sixteenth century, but having no interest in writing a fictionalized biography, I took a historical situation and setting and, using the poet Louise Labé as a model, created my own cast of characters and plot. (Note--Not the best of strategies in a historical fiction market that thrives on books about "marquee" figures.) With my current manuscript, I changed tactics--nearly every character is historical, as well as the dramatic events I recount. I was lucky to discover during my research a happy coincidence of character, situation, and conflict that provided the framework of a plot whose gaps and motivations were just begging for elaboration.
As for my day-to-day writing process, it's pretty consistent and definitely far from glamorous. Once I drop my son off at school each morning, I sit in front of my computer writing and revising until it's time to pick him up in the afternoon. I work again in the evening after he's in bed. I write linearly, working from a loose outline, and am a slow, perfect-it-as I go kind of writer. No pantsing or go-with-the-flow first drafts for me! My outlines are fluid, however, as I often discover new ideas and possibilities as the story progresses and the characters develop. I am lucky to have the support of several dedicated writer friends, with whom I often check in during the day via email or Facebook as we work towards our separate goals. They help keep me on track, as does my husband, who has read every word in every draft of both novels and provides invaluable input on what does and does not work. I am sure he's as eager as I am to begin the submission process!
5) Nominate two authors to continue the Blog Tour.
I nominate Arabella Stokes, writer of sassy romance fiction with a Southern flair, and Laura Bradbury, a fellow francophile who has written a memoir about leaving a prestigious legal career to renovate a decrepit, revolutionary-era ruin in Burgundy. Their installments will appear on their blogs on Monday, April 14. You can read LJ Cohen's tour contribution here. Thanks again for the opportunity to participate and share a glimpse of my writerly world.

I'm sure most people know by now that we have a VM we build and run the OTN Developer Day events based on those VMs. The key to running the events is the Oracle By Example labs. They are a great way to learn the tools and software in the VM.
What everyone may not know is all the OBEs are online as well. The are runnable anywhere not just in the VM we build. The Oracle Learning Library has TONS of great labs to learn. The labs are tagged to make it very easy to find what you are looking for.
The latest addition is something we kicked around and everyone liked. That's a series where the labs build upon the previous lab to learn more than 1 topic for 1 hour then switch to another topic.
What we came up with is the Application Developer Days Workshop Series . This series starts in the SQL Developer Data modeler, then writing plsql in SQL Developer, then creating an app in APEX. So a soup-to-nuts idea. Starting from a clean slate and progressing into a functioning application.
Give it a try!

Apex Listener jdbc/security setup
In talking to a few customers, I realized lots of people run with the default settings. So, I thought I should point out a few things that should be conscious decisions vs. accept the defaults. The defaults are some limits that are safe and will run a modest size app just fine. When the app gets a few long running spots or high concurrency it's time to look at changing those defaults.
1. There are fewer and fewer reasons to use the OCI jdbc driver over thin but it is something that if there's a reason you can swap out.
<entry key="apex.jdbc.DriverType">thin</entry>
2. The pool of connections has a few things that can be adjusted.
a) The initial size of the pool. This is when you first start up the listener how many connections to establish so that user #1,2,3 will not be waiting on a new connection to be established.
<entry key="apex.jdbc.InitialLimit">3</entry>
b) The min is how low the pool is allowed. If things like inactivity is set to idle down the connection this many will stay available.
<entry key="apex.jdbc.MinLimit">1</entry>
c) The max is what it sounds like the most connections that will be allowed. For a system with high concurrent or some long running pages this will need to be increased. The effect if not is that user #11 ( when set to 10 ) will be watching a browser spin. Then the training we all have that the web is fast kicks in, the user cancels the page, and requests again thinking something was wrong and surly it'll be faster the next time. That causes the next request. Pretty soon there's a lot of queue requests waiting. That all turns into phone calls/ emails to the sys admin , dba , and developers that the app is slow or broken.
Talking to one user, he upped this to 100 and it made a huge difference no more queuing. Another had to go well over 100 due to a combination of slow queries and high concurrency. There's not 1 setting that covers everything.
<entry key="apex.jdbc.MaxLimit">10</entry>
d) InactivityTimeout will idle the connection pool back down to the minLimit over time as the connections are idle for the value provided.
<entry key="apex.jdbc.InactivityTimeout">1800</entry>
e) This one covers in case the connection gets lost due to anything at all. If the connection pool doesn't get the connection back for some reason for this amount of time and is idle for this time, it will be reclaimed automatically
<entry key="apex.jdbc.AbandonedConnectionTimeout">900</entry>
f) Lastly for jdbc, this is how many request a connection will service before it is closed and new one opened.
<entry key="apex.jdbc.MaxConnectionReuseCount">50000</entry>
3) For an APEX install, the security function should always be set. This blocks non-apex procedures. These could be procedures that happen to be granted to public by accident or intentionally.
<entry key="apex.security.requestValidationFunction">wwv_flow_epg_include_modules.authorize</entry>

SQL Developer shared setup from any machine
It's been on the forums a few times how to get SQL Developer to put it's config setup on to a flash drive. The same thing works with Dropbox/Google Drive/...
Here's all it takes.
1) edit sqldeveloper/bin/sqldeveloper.con
- add the path to the Dropbox or where ever location
AddVMOption -Duser.home=/Users/klrice/Dropbox/sqldev
The to check just look in that location and you'll find a .sqldeveloper directory where everything will be stored.
Then just go to any machine with your drop box installed and you'll have the exact same setup everywhere.
Here's all it takes.
1) edit sqldeveloper/bin/sqldeveloper.con
- add the path to the Dropbox or where ever location
AddVMOption -Duser.home=/Users/klrice/Dropbox/sqldev
2) Start it up.
The to check just look in that location and you'll find a .sqldeveloper directory where everything will be stored.
You'll notice bunches of directories where all the settings are being stored.
Then just go to any machine with your drop box installed and you'll have the exact same setup everywhere.

ODTUG Kscope12 Sunday DB Symposium Agenda
I always enjoy attending and presenting at ODTUG. So much that last year, I volunteered to help the track leaders, David Schleis , Eddie Awad , and Chet Justice organize the DB Symposium on Sunday. It will be a great day that is starting with a joint keynote with Mike Hichwa on tools generally. Then we split into the DB track where it starts the progression of blank slate , developing, testing , building , deploying and wrapping up with tuning the deployed code.
8:45 - 9:45 Keynote - Oracle Database Tools - Mike Hichwa
- Blog
Mike Hichwa, vice president of database tools, will provide an insight into the latest development of database tools and the Oracle Database Cloud Service. Everybody who is currently utilizing Oracle database tools should attend this session.
9:45-10:30 -SQL Developer Data Modeler - Kris Rice
SQL Developer Data Modeler allows for easy modification of existing database objects. This session will cover how to reverse engineer, modify, and create a script of the changes. Collaboration is an important part of any development team, with built in subversion support the modeler makes collaboration possible.
11:00 - 12:00 - SQL Developer -Jeff Smith
SQL Developer provides the framework for your complete PL/SQL development process. It begins with developers working together to quickly and efficiently build new applications. Versioning your code, merging in changes from other developers, pushing out the latest and greatest to your QA teams or the Cloud is all a natural part of the tool.
Of course before you publish anything to anyone, you're testing your code, right? For the folks out there that feel guilty about having their users testing their code for them, you can actually build your own test suites and identify regressions.
1:00 - 1:45 - Continuous Integration with Database projects - Kris Rice
1:45-2:45 - How to "tune" a query - Tom Kyte
I am often asked how I tune a query, or more generally - how does one "tune" a query. In this session - we'll look at how query tuning is performed. You might be surprised at the answer as it often does not involve rewriting a single query.
3:15-4:00 - SQLDeveloper with Enterprise Manager: integrating changes from developer to DBA - Jagan Athreya
- OEM Blog , OEM Twitter
Developers and DBAs have usually faced conflicting changes, delayed application upgrades and production downtime due to lack of integrated tools to manage the database change lifecycle. Come to this session to see and learn about the integration between SQL*Developer and Enterprise Manager Cloud Control 12c that enables developers to define changes in SQLDeveloper and allows DBAs to promote these changes to Test and Production seamlessly via Enterprise Manager thereby reducing errors, accelerating productivity and eliminating unplanned downtime.
4:00-4:45 Oracle Optimizer - Top Tips to get Optimal SQL Execution all the Time - Maria Colgan
Simple system changes such as gathering optimizer statistics or changing a parameter value can affect SQL execution plans and therefore the performance and stability of a system. Managing such changes is an ongoing challenge for many customers. This session shows the process of analyzing and resolving the most common SQL execution performance problems including, poor cardinality estimations, bind peeking issues, selecting the wrong access method and more. With clear how-to examples you will learn how to identifying and quickly resolving these issues.

In addition to clothing, make sure you launder bibs, sheets, blankets, car-seat linings — and even stroller and playpen fabrics. If it's going to touch baby's skin, give it a wash. Why? Clothing manufacturers often treat garments with chemicals to prevent wrinkling or mildew during shipment. A trip through the washing machine will remove these chemicals as well as any residual dye that could irritate baby's sensitive skin.
Baby-laundry products
When it comes to choosing laundry products for baby, think mild. Natural options include baking soda, borax and white vinegar. Baby-laundry detergents such as Dreft are formulated to be gentle on baby's skin and tough on stains (and they make baby smell irresistibly delicious). If you choose to wash baby clothes in regular (nonbaby) detergent along with the rest of the family's, make sure to check your baby's skin for signs of irritation like red spots or itching. Switch back to a specially formulated baby detergent if necessary.
Stain-treating tips
Babies are adorable, but they're also expert mess makers. Between the gushing spit-up, food splatters and explosive poops, you'll be getting familiar with all kinds of new stains. The four words to remember are these: Rinse. Soak. Wash. Repeat.
Rinse messes as soon as possible with cold water, then place stained clothes in the washing machine with water and detergent and soak up to 30 minutes. Add an enzyme product during the soaking stage for protein stains (formula, breast milk, spit-up, most food stains and feces). If the stain is oil-based, use a prewash stain spray and scrub with a toothbrush or other stiff-bristled brush. Finally, wash according to the garment label. If one cycle in the washing machine removes the stain, go ahead and toss the garment in the dryer. If the stain persists, treat again before drying.
Be prepared
Keep a bottle of stain-treating spray near your changing table and in your diaper bag to quickly pretreat baby's clothing. (Extra plastic bags never hurt, either!) With the right preparation, spitty bibs and poop-smeared onesies will be no big deal.
Quick TIP:
Before washing, turn baby's clothes inside out to prevent fading and make sure all hook-and-loop (Velcro) closures are closed so they don't snag on blankets and clothing.

I Want to Go to There: Londolozi
I came across this absolutely drop dread South African game reserve, Londolozi, in this month's O Magazine and I now have a new goal in life: going HERE. Not only is going on a safari my top top top travel wishlist item, but the design of this resort is beyond my wildest (pun intended) imagination. I am so inspired by the interior spaces as much as I am the exterior landscape!
Stop it. Stop it right now with this bathtub scenario. A glass of wine and Ryan Gosling rubbing your shoulders and asking you how your day was and the most perfect moment the earth could conjure up will have just happened.
Modern plus rustic equals fabulous.
Drapes over a tub? Why not. This is heaven after all.
Do you think he'd rip my face off if I snuggled him and put him in bed with me?

Women Encouraged to Discuss Aspirin Regimen with Their Healthcare ProvidersCreated on Monday, April 07, 2014
"For women at high risk for preeclampsia, available evidence indicates modest effects but important benefits of daily low-dose aspirin for prevention of the condition and consequent illness."
A systematic review conducted by the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) for the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) and published today in Annals of Internal Medicine found that low dose aspirin beginning as early as the second trimester of pregnancy may prevent negative health outcomes. Taking low dose aspirin was found to show no harm to the mother or baby, although understanding of long-term effects is still limited. The Task Force's purpose was to review the evidence for benefits and harms of low-dose aspirin for preventing morbidity and mortality from preeclampsia.
Eleni Tsigas, Executive Director of the Preeclampsia Foundation, the national patient advocacy organization representing women affected by hypertensive disorders of pregnancy, responded to this draft recommendation, "The best available evidence suggests that women at highest risk for preeclampsia should consider taking daily low-dose aspirin beginning late in the first trimester (by 13 weeks). Taking aspirin does not guarantee prevention of preeclampsia, but it is one more thing that women can do with relative safety to reduce their risk."
The review took into account studies with relatively large sample sizes that revealed absolute risk reductions of up to 5% for preeclampsia, intrauterine growth restriction and preterm birth. A grasp of absolute versus relative risk is necessary to understand these statistically significant but fairly small effects.
"This may represent a very small effect for everyone, or – more likely – a larger effect in a very small number of women," said Dr. Thomas Easterling, Director of the Foundation's Medical Advisory Board. "These results highlight the need for more work – more research, more funding. Out of some 30,000 randomized subjects we report a 2-5% reduction in the rate of preeclampsia. That's no where near good enough."
Recent guidelines issued by the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (the College) also recommend low-dose aspirin, but rated the quality of evidence as "moderate" and the recommendation as "qualified." This means that the healthcare provider and patient should decide together if a low-dose aspirin regimen is in the patient's best interest. The College's guidelines also encourage aspirin dosing to begin in the first trimester, in contrast to the USPSTF review that suggests second trimester.
AHRQ's mission is to improve the quality, safety, efficiency and effectiveness of health care for all Americans. The USPSTF is an independent panel of non-Federal experts in prevention and evidence-based medicine and is composed of primary care providers (such as internists, pediatricians, family physicians, gynecologists/obstetricians, nurses, and health behavior specialists). The USPSTF conducts scientific evidence reviews of a broad range of clinical preventive health care services (such as screening, counseling, and preventive medications) and develops recommendations for primary care clinicians and health systems. These recommendations are published in the form of "Recommendation Statements."
Members of the Preeclampsia Foundation's Medical Advisory Board (Drs James Roberts and Baha Sibai) provided expert review of the report.
What Are the Risks?
Other notable inclusions in this report include the evaluation of harms of aspirin treatment to mother or baby, which found:
- No perinatal mortality, growth or cognition harms to the baby;
- No statistically significant impact on risk of placental abruptions, postpartum hemorrhage, or miscarriage to the mother;
- No differences in developmental outcomes of the infants up to age 18 months.
No studies have followed the offspring of preeclamptic women on aspirin beyond 18 months.
"The long-term effect of aspirin usage during preeclamptic pregnancies is actually one of the things we're collecting in The Preeclampsia Registry," said Tsigas about the Preeclampsia Foundation's patient registry. "We'd like to see how offspring of women who took aspirin during their pregnancies fare many years down the road. There's no published data on this question."
What Are the Benefits? And for Whom?
The USPSTF authors also concluded that preventing preeclampsia could reduce medical intervention in pregnancy and delivery. Preventing poor perinatal health outcomes could also reduce posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and postpartum depression (PPD), since preeclampsia is associated with poor psychosocial outcomes.
The optimal target population for this intervention are women at higher risk for preeclampsia. However, as the review acknowledged, tools to assess individual risk for the condition and to identify subgroups of mothers most likely to benefit are still needed. The College recommendations, for instance, more narrowly defined the "high-risk population" as women with preeclampsia in at least one previous pregnancy or with prior early preterm birth, but this definition of high risk is not universally used.
What Can You Do?
Women should discuss their individual risk of preeclampsia with healthcare providers properly trained to evaluate them. It's important for healthcare providers to appreciate that women are eager to do what they can – safely and effectively – to prevent preeclampsia.
We also encourage you to review and submit comments on the draft recommendation statement, now through May 5, 2014 on the USPSTF Web site. Outside input will help to ensure that the final recommendation is valid, reliable, and useful to health professionals, patients, and family members.

Our Programs in Katy
Boosting Cognitive Skills in Adults & Children
LearningRx is proud to offer a number of brain training programs in Katy that focus on and strengthen weak cognitive skills while also improving reading comprehension. Our programs are made up of one-on-one mental exercises that are both challenging and fun. These mental workout sessions are customized to address each client's unique abilities and needs. They're specially designed to strengthen the foundational cognitive skills that enable our brains to think, learn, read, remember, pay attention, and solve problems.
These skills— attention, memory, auditory processing, logic and reasoning, processing speed, and more—impact our mental performance in every area of life, including school and work.
Here's a short description of each of our brain training programs:
- ThinkRx is our core program. Offered over a minimum of 12 weeks, this program works on all the core cognitive skills. Every client who is over seven years of age and in a full program trains with ThinkRx.
- ReadRx incorporates ThinkRx with ReadRx. A powerful reading intervention, ReadRx trains the cognitive skills of auditory processing (the skill that allows the brain to analyze, blend, and segment sounds) as well as other skills that are critical to reading success.
- ComprehendRx takes reading intervention to a new level, focusing on the cognitive skills that are critical for reading comprehension. This program works on many cognitive skills, including visual processing, reasoning skills, sequential processing (the ability to understand and integrate information in order), working memory, and metacognitive strategies (the development of self-awareness and the ability to self-assess).
- MathRx trains the cognitive skills needed to efficiently and effectively develop numerical fluency, learn math concepts, solve problems, and perform calculations.
- Einstein includes ThinkRx, ReadRx, and MathRx.
- LiftOff is available to preschoolers through first graders and works on the foundational cognitive skills and early reading skills so important for early learners. These include auditory processing (the skill that allows the brain to analyze, blend, and segment sounds), attention, memory, processing speed, visual processing, and reasoning.
- StudyRx helps clients develop stronger study skills. The program teaches clients 14 test-taking tips, 12 top learning strategies, as well as eight core study skills based on fictionalized stories of historical figures and the habits, skills, and perspectives that contributed to their success.
- Brain Booster programs are offered in two formats. The first is for adults who do not have a need for a full program, and instead are interested in doing mental exercises with a trainer at their own convenience. The Brain Booster program for adults is offered in 12, 18, or 24-session segments. Brain Booster is also offered to clients who have completed one of our other full programs and are interested in additional one-on-one training.
- BrainSkills is a digital brain training program that can be used to supplement the one-on-one training that is the cornerstone of all our programs, or as a maintenance program for those who have completed one of our full one-on-one programs.
Choosing the Right Program
With a brain training program uniquely adapted for every client, clients of all ages can experience benefits that can enhance their life. Because these programs cost about the same as many interventions, the short length of our programs is a plus to many families. Best of all, we offer a number of programs to accommodate the needs of our clients. LearningRx - Katy will determine what program is right for each student. Potential clients cannot choose their own programs.
The Recipe for Effective Brain Training
A variety of ingredients are required in order to reap the rewards of cognitive enhancement.
For optimal results, cognitive skills training:
- Requires immediate and accurate feedback
- Need to be done in a particular sequence
- Needs to be focused and targeted
- Needs to be intense
- Should be done in a one-on-one setting
- Must be regularly practiced
More Than 35 Years of Experience
Please note that our programs are backed by scientific testing and development. For more than three decades, we have been researching the industry, which has given us the opportunity to modify and improve our programs. We have changed the lives of more than 100,000 clients between the ages 5 and 94, and we have a 9.6 out of 10 client referral rating. Very few of our industry competitors subscribe to this measure of credibility and standards.
Take Our Online Brain Quiz – It's Free!
We invite you to take a few minutes to complete our free online brain quiz.

New Mexico Probate Records
This entry was originally written by Karen Stein Daniel, CG and Margaret Windham for Red Book: American State, County, and Town Sources.
Many early probates may be found at the New Mexico State Records Center and Archives. Formal probate records are filed by the district court that serves a particular county, or by informal probate in the county clerk's office. The size and complexity of the estate determines whether it would be handled as a formal or informal practice.
There are thirteen judicial districts in the state, each covering one or more counties. In order to locate the work of the probate court, write to the clerk of the respective court in the county of focus for the research problem. Addresses found under Court Records (see below) apply to probate records as well. However, the county clerk's office may need to be contacted since laws change from time to time.

Dog Fence Direct
DogFenceDirect.com is a website that sells in ground and wireless fences for dogs. These are not actual wooden or metal fences but work with a dog collar that is attached to the dog to help let the dog no where the boundaries are.
Demographics of Buyer:
Slightly more female than male.
Ages 35 and up
No Kids/Kids ratio- 60% do and 40% do not
Generally White
Family dog is important to them.
The banner is going to be on the main page of my site.
The banner could have picture(s) of a happy dog or a family playing with their dog and even show the product images in the background in a cool way. The website is focused on selling wireless and in ground dog fences to families and individuals so should reflect this in the image used. The picture should give off a feeling of love, support and even possibly protection for the dogs in the picture. It should also show that the dog(s) and people are happy. The banner should blend in well with the website and its colors that can be found at http://www.dogfencedirect.com. This banner will fit just under the "Welcome To Dog Fence" heading.
The width of the picture should be 750 pixels and the height I am thinking somewhere between 200 to 250 pixels. Basically pick the height that will best fit in the picture and the text. The picture should also have a part that shows "Free Shipping On All Orders" or similar language with an asterisk at the end. You decide how best to display this.
The banner should be in .jpg, .png, or .gif format. I would also like designers to fit the banner into the blank image in the example attachment.
This will let me see what they would look like on the site.
If you have any questions, feel free to list them and I will be happy to respond to them.
Looking forward to seeing your designs.

Required Minimum Property Damage Coverage
$5,000 for injury to or destruction of property of others in any one accident.
Personal Injury Protection (PIP)
PIP covers up to $8,000 in medical and work loss expenses, without regard to fault. The type of medical insurance you have will determine the amount of medical expense benefits paid out by PIP. PIP is a no-fault statute. Therefore, an injured person can only sue for pain and suffering if that person's medical expenses are in excess of $2,000, or if the injuries caused death, the loss of a body member, permanent/serious disfigurement, loss of sight or hearing, or a fracture.
Optional Insurance Coverage
Uninsured Motorist (UM) Coverage. In Massachusetts, UM coverage includes underinsured motorist (UIM) coverage. If purchased, it must be at least the amount of bodily injury liability coverage required.
Special Rules for Motorcyclists. Motorcycle operators and passengers
are excluded from PIP coverage.

It looks like this scam is actively using the name "Global Sweepstakes Prize Inc." again, so I'll put the most important information here at the top:
Global Sweepstakes Prize is a scam. Do not give them any personal information, especially not your bank account number. Do not under any circumstances send them any money. If they sent you a check, it's fake. Read the full post and the comments for details on how the scam works and where you can report it.
I got some interesting mail today. Mixed in with the usual bills and junk mail was an actual letter.
But it wasn't an ordinary letter. It was from the UK. It had a "Royal Mail" postmark and everything.
This was quite a puzzler, because as far as I know, the only people in the UK who know my name and address are Curmudgeonly Yours and IslaSkye, and I couldn't think of any reason they would send me a letter instead of just e-mailing me. Besides, the letter looked kind of strange to be personal. There was no return address, and the address was a printed label with my last name first. So if not Curmudgeonly and Isla, who could it be from?
Well, of course I opened it up, and much to my surprise, I found a letter saying that I had won $250,000. (Click the picture for a little bigger view.)
According to the letter, "Global Sweepstakes Prize Inc." enters "250,000 names from different International census databases worldwide including North America," and their "network server" indicated that I was selected as a prize winner.
Now, there are a couple of things just in that first paragraph that are silly if you think about it. First of all, what kind of sweepstakes goes around selecting random people as winners? Where would the money come from? There are only two ways to pay for a sweepstakes: either from people buying tickets, as in a lottery, or through product advertising and sales, as in the Publisher's Clearing House sweepstakes in the USA. Second, why would a "network server" choose the prize winner? Network servers run networks (duh). They don't generally choose prize winners. I guess it was supposed to sound "technical" or something. But wait, it gets better.
The second paragraph tells me what my "lucky numbers" were. Of course, this begs the question of why I needed "numbers" if they were using my name from a database. Why not just use my name, or assign it a number between 1 and 250000? But at least they avoid coming right out and asking for a fee. In fact, they say I'm "guaranteed" payment at "no extra cost to [my]self" (emphasis theirs). This is a lie, of course. Once you respond to them, there will be obstacles, red tape, fees, taxes, just a little more that needs to be paid and then the $250,000 is yours. [Note: see the updates and comments below for the actual mechanism of the scam.]
The third paragraph really kicks things into gear. They "would like to explain to [me] the Federal and International regulations governing the personal collection of cash prizes." Gosh, that sounds official. I'd better do exactly what they say. But speaking of "regulations," apparently the UK only has two legal lotteries (neither named "Global Sweepstakes Prize" -- go figure) and it's illegal to play foreign lotteries from the USA anyway. I guess I was supposed to take their word and not look up that kind of stuff on teh interwebs. Anyway, they set up the foolish to be badgered for fees and taxes by referring to an apparently non-existent law, the "United Kingdom Non Resident Tax Act 2003" (section 22).
The fourth paragraph is even better, though. This is classic: "For security purpose and clarity, we strongly advise that you keep your winning information confidential until your claims have been fully processed and your money remitted to you." In other words, "Don't tell anyone we're robbing you until after we've finished." And they shamelessly go on to say, "This is part of our security protocol to avoid double claims and unwarranted abuse of this program by some nominees" (my emphasis this time). Because talking about the "program" makes it more likely that the "nominee" will report the sneaky bastards to the authorities. "Bloody cheek" I believe one might say in the UK.
The letter's ending is the best of all. It refers the nominee to contact an "Anthony Wright." But the letter is signed by "Clara Clayson." And take a look at the signature:
I can't tell what the heck that's supposed to say -- it looks like "Cethi Beraley" or something -- but I can tell you one thing it doesn't say: "Clara Clayson." It's obviously scanned in and has no relation to the name under it. And what the heck is that a picture of?
So that's the cover letter. There was also a form to fill out (click the picture for a bigger view):
Fill it out, and they have your complete contact information, your bank account number, and even the contact information for your "next of kin," so they can harass them for money too. Unbelievable. But apparently there are actually people who know no better than to fall for this whole thing.
I followed this up with another post, but it doesn't look like many people are finding it, so I'm moving the text here:
I've been getting a lot of hits from people googling "Global Sweepstakes Prize Inc.," so let's make this perfectly clear: Global Sweepstakes Prize is a scam. Do not give them any personal information, especially not your bank account number. Do not under any circumstances send them any money.
Apparently, the way the scam works is, if you contact them, they will send you a phony "cashier's check" for $2,500. They will tell you to deposit it and then wire $2,500 to a "tax officer." But the check is fake, and of course the "tax officer" is not a real tax officer. The idea is to get you to send money before the bank can process the check and find out it's phony. So if you send the money, not only will you have wasted $2,500 of your own money, you will have passed a bogus check to your bank (which won't immediately know it's not intentional and might even call the police on you).
Here are some tips on how to recognize scams or fraud.
Here are some places you can report this attempted fraud.
This scam is apparently also going out under the name "Skye Sweepstakes." Here are some other common lottery scam names.
Here's a scan of the "Skye Sweepstakes" letter that a visitor e-mailed me. It's higher-pressure than the "Global Sweepstakes" letter that I got, because it claims that time is running out and "your file will be closed" if you don't respond in 14 days. Click for a bigger view.
Apparently, the Skye Sweepstakes scammers are sending out phony cashier's checks in some of these mailings, without waiting to be contacted first. According to a Treasury Department bulletin, the fake checks use the name of Hiawatha National Bank, a legitimate bank in Wisconsin.
The bulletin lists some places you can report this attempted fraud:

Volvo P1800 Jensen
For sale here is a Volvo P1800 from 1961 built by Jensen in England
Although the car was restored some 30 years ago it still looks amazing. This car had only 4 owners and the last owner had the car for a very long time. It was driven often when the weather was nice and dry. Always kept in a dry heated garage.
There is a lot of interesting history with this car. It won many awards for best restored car or peoples choice winner. Inside is a new grey carpet with a red interior. Please note that the seat upholstery is from 1961 and we have ordered new seatcovers for the front seats and will be installed shortly. Working original radio, new shocks, recently serviced. All panels fit extremely well on this car considering it is an early model.
All instruments work as they should. Also, when the overdrive kicks in you are cruising along comfortably in 110km/h. (Overdrive was an option during this time). Locari inner fenders fitted.
1961 was the first year of production for the Volvo P1800 Coupe. 1963 the model was named Volvo P1800S for the simple reason that the production took place in Sweden. In 1970 the P1800E was born and later the P1800ES. The production ended 1973. There were almost 40,000 Volvo Coupes produced, but only 6,000 of these were from Jensen (1961-1963).

We have a team of Top AC Professionals who perfectly install the air conditioner at home or office without any fault.
Highest quality air conditioning installation service is provided to all our clients.
Setting up refrigerant pipes that are too long: These are pipes that connect the indoor and outdoor of the central ac, these pipes should be kept short. Often an inexperienced ac technician put pipes that are too long which in turn makes arduous for air conditioner to complete the cooling cycle. This will make the compressor drain energy and it will wear itself down.
Installing incorrect drainage system: Installing incorrect or wrong drainage system will not drain the water effectively and will spill over to the other component and cause damage.
Installing incorrect ac unit: This is one of the common ac installation mistakes. Always decide what size of ac unit you need according to the area and number of the person using the room.
Removal of AC from the box– Along with the cabinet cover or the case remove the window AC from the box.
Making of the hole in the wall– Here we are talking about the hole in the cabinet or the wall where the window AC will be installed. The measure of the hole should be of the size of the unit.
Leveling of the wall or window– The hole that was made for window AC installation services should be made to a plain surface by plastering it. Then the wooden frame needs to be constructed. The wooden frame should be heavy enough to support the whole weight of the window AC. If you are planning to install the unit in the window then you can fit the wooden frames directly on the mainframes of the window.
Proper fitting of cabinet cover– The whole window AC should fit inside the cabinet cover properly. If it's not done properly then it would fall off behind the wall and it would lead to the sudden destruction of human life and property. The window air conditioner case lies entirely outside the room and behind the walls or window where it needs to be installed. The window AC case needs to be fitted to the window frame which is connected to the wall or the window.
Perfect angle– One important thing which you should remember while installing the window AC is the perfect angle at which it has to be fitted. All you need to do is tilt the casing by an angle of about 2-3 degree backward so that all the water which is collected on the cooling coil is collected at the back. The drain pan is located at the back of the window AC where the water is drained out.
Gliding the window AC– Now next step is lifting the window AC with the help of few people and gliding it into the casing which is fitted in the wall. External grills need to be fitted on the end of the window AC and then connecting the AC to the electrical point.
Right Size– Make sure that your AC is of the right size. Window ACs come in varying sizes so it is very necessary to choose the one which fits your room. If you want the highest level of performance from your AC then always choose a correct size according to your room.
Strong Walls– You need to be very sure that the wall on which window AC is installed is strong enough to bear the weight of AC and the wooden frame should be very stiff so that the AC don't vibrate. Even the window frame that is connected to the walls or the window should also be very strong enough in order to prevent the air conditioner from vibrating.
Rear end should be lower than the front end-Always keep the rear end of the window AC marginally lower than the front end so that the condensed water leaks from the rear end of the air conditioner and not from the front end.
Proper Height– Window AC should be installed at about 3-4 feet from the floor. This is required for proper cooling.
Proper ventilation-Always keep in mind to install window AC in an area where there is proper ventilation. Without proper ventilation impurity which gets generated indoor can lead to significant health problems.
Proper drainage-There should be easy drainage for condensed water dripping out of AC. Window AC is designed in such a way that the water drains from the back. If even a small amount of water is left inside the air conditioner then it will become a breeding ground of bacteria.
Location-Window AC should not be installed in an area which is exposed to direct sunlight or rain. It should be installed away from a heat source.
For window AC installation sometimes the client has to arrange for a wooden frame depending upon the requirement. A strong wooden frame is needed so that the window AC doesn't vibrate and create unnecessary disturbance in your house.
The perfect height for window AC installation is 3-4 feet from the floor as it is required for proper cooling. This will allow chilled air to flow within the room such that the maximum cooling effect is utilized by all the inhabitant in the room.
If the window air conditioner is not installed at a proper height then the cooling effect of the air will be utilized to cool the ceiling of the room.
Certain points need to be kept in mind during Window AC Installation Services:
Size– The most common problem is installing window AC of the wrong size. It is necessary to understand that the bigger is not always better. An over-sized window unit running in a small room will not cool better than the smaller unit. The size of the air conditioner should be installed according to the size of the room.
Weight distribution– While installing window AC unit, a strip of wood should be attached to the outside of the house just underneath the window so that the air conditioner's weight is supported and distributed. You can use L-brackets to install a shelf for it to sit on if the unit is very heavy.
Proper level– Window air conditioner is constructed with gutters and channels that operate the water where it needs to go when the unit is at the proper level so window AC should not be installed at an angle.
Air conditioner should be installed in an area with good ventilation.
Window air conditioner should be installed in an area which can sustain the weight and vibration of the unit.
The unit should be installed away from the heat source.
It should be installed in an area which provides easy drainage for condensed water.
Improper Air conditioner installation might bring following problems:
Less cooling
Improper or irregular cooling
Less cold air circulation
window air conditioner needs to be slightly tipped towards the outside so that it does not drain forward towards the house.
The surface where you will install the outdoor unit of the air conditioner should be rigid and strong, in order to avoid any kind of vibration. The vibration will lead to excessive noise which can cause the copper tube to break, refrigerant to leak and can also damage the condenser.
Outdoor unit should be placed at a height more than the height of the indoor unit. If an outdoor unit of an air conditioner is installed below the height of the indoor unit then the compressor power will be utilized for pulling up the refrigerant against the gravity which will then reduce the performance of the compressor.
Right installation space– Install split AC on a strong wall for accommodation of both indoor and outdoor unit. The distance for split ac installation should be 15cm above and sides of the indoor unit. A strong wall is necessary so that there are no vibrations lured into the wall.
Securing the mounting plates– The mounting plate should be held against the wall where the indoor unit needs to be installed. The level of the plates should be equal. Make holes on the wall for fixing the plates to the wall. Plastic anchors are inserted into the holes. For securing the plates to the wall use tapping screws. On the opening of the mounting brackets create a hole. The length of the pipe and the distance that it needs to travel to reach the outside unit need to be considered. Drill the hole on the wall. A hole of about 7-8cm should be drilled.
Mount the indoor AC unit– Next lift the AC towards the mounting plate after removing the front cover of the AC. Transmit the two copper wires, drainage pipe, and the wire through the hole drilled on the wall. After binding all the wires with the electrical tape AC unit can be mounted on the mounting plate. Put the front cover of the AC.
Installation spot– A right installation space should be selected preferably a distance of 30-35 cm for good performance.
Fix the bracket– After you select the installation spot make the holes for brackets. It should be horizontally aligned. Lift the outdoor unit and fix it on the brackets. It should be bolted up with the brackets firmly.
Connect the wires– The power cable to the outdoor unit then needs to be connected. Then the copper wires need to be connected to the equivalent pipe.
Read more about how to install split AC in detail.
During split AC installation certain factors need to be considered:
Strength of the wall-A strong wall is required to hold the unit's weight. Do not fix AC on to the false wall and also don't install it on uneven surface.
Spacing between AC unit and wall-An appropriate spacing between wall and AC unit is required which should be at least 15cm. To ensure proper airflow the indoor unit needs to be installed at minimum 15 cm away from the wall.
Proper height-Split AC indoor unit should be placed at the height of 7 to 8 feet above the floor for optimum cooling.
Perfect angle-Bracket should be given a slight tilt angle when you fix the aluminum bracket on the wall. To facilitate the unlimited flow of condensed water from the drainpipe the indoor unit of split AC is also fitted at the straight angle.
For optimum cooling the indoor and outdoor unit of the split AC should be mounted at a place which is away from direct sunlight and water. For proper heat dissipation from the condenser, the outdoor unit of split AC should be installed in an open space.
To avoid unnecessary noise which comes from the vibrating unit the outdoor unit of the split AC must be placed on a flat surface. The major parts of the AC such as fan motor, condenser are inside the outside unit of the AC, so it should be fixed properly to avoid the breakage and leakage of the coolant.
Split AC installation requires a Copper pipe and an electrical wire. This can be arranged by the client himself or Quotemykaam AC Professionals can also provide for the same, additional charges may apply. Approximately 2 meters is required for one split AC.
There should be a maximum distance of about 15 meters between an indoor and outdoor unit of split AC as through the copper tubes the coolant flows between the indoor and outdoor unit of the split AC at a very low temperature. To avoid the loss of cooling effect to the atmosphere when the refrigerant flows between the units the area or distance of the indoor and outdoor unit of the split AC should be as minimum as possible.
While selecting the position of split ac in the bedroom, keep the following points in mind:
The split AC indoor unit should be away from any heat source or steam.
Try to install the unit in the center position of the room for even airflow.
Always check there are continuous circulation and flow of cooling air without any obstacles.
Avoid installing the split AC indoor unit near the door in order to enjoy full cooling capacity.
It is always recommended to install the outdoor unit in a safe, dry and well-ventilated area. It is always advisable to locate the outdoor unit in an open space so that there is a proper airflow between the condenser and the compressor.
The outdoor unit is responsible for dismissing heat to the outside air. If the outdoor unit is kept in a closed space then it will eventually end up heating the closed space and the outdoor unit will stop working. Adequate airflow is required for it to function properly.
It takes around 2 hours to uninstall one air conditioner.
Atleast 2 technicians are required for the service.
It is always advisable to remove the coolant.
Put a big container or bucket in order to gather the water spill or coolant.
Here are the steps for uninstalling window AC:
Turn off the AC unit and unplug it from the power channel.
Insulation and foam padding are then removed.
Front cover of the air conditioner is removed.
Window AC's inner unit is removed from the outer case. The inner unit can be easily pulled out.
The screw in the outer case is then taken out from the window unit with the help of screwdriver.
Here are the steps for uninstalling split AC:
Turn off the main power supply before uninstalling window AC. It is recommended to put a bucket below the unit
Unscrew the copper wires and all the wires that attach the inner unit of split AC.
Remove the coolant.
Place all the parts- uninstalled split AC, wires and the cables properly.
Use white cement to fill the holes in the wall after completing the split AC un-installation.
Not changing the air-filters– Changing air filters is one of the very basic things that should be done. Air filters should be cleaned regularly to get the best result. Though it is recommended to change the air filter once every three months you should change the air filters when you shift the unit in order to get the optimum result. Even if you have a new air filter in your air conditioner then also you should change it because shifting can create obstacles in the air conditioner filter and changing the filter can help you solve all those problems.
Ignoring proper maintenance– Proper maintenance is very important. If you shift your AC unit after having proper maintenance then you will not get any problem and will be able to use it in a comfortable manner.
Not taking the help of the experts– Many people assume that they can shift the air conditioner themselves without taking any help from the professional ac installer. It is strongly advised that when you shift your AC unit you should always take help of the experts as they carry proper tools for that and shift in a smart and highly effective manner.
Not cleaning the outside unit– When you shift your AC unit it is recommended that along with the internal unit clean the outside unit as well to avoid any kind of problem.
Not considering the room size– When you shift your AC unit to a new place it is recommended that you consider the room size to get proper cooling.

MWC 15 Special
the first sight, it looks like a typical
HTC Sense
smartphone but HTC's
latest mobile phone is neither running Windows Mobile nor Android. HTC just
officially unveiled the HTC Smart - which
leaked as
Touch.B or HTC
Rome before - a new type of smartphone that creates a new category of
easy-to-use, connected smartphones that are accessible by people all over the
world. HTC Smart begins with a friendly compact touch design and integrates an
intuitive user experience that is centered around HTC Sense, an HTC design
philosophy that puts people at the center by focusing on three core areas: Make
It Mine, Stay Close and Discover the Unexpected.
The HTC Smart is HTC's first non-smartphone, running Qualcomm's Brew Mobile
Platform. It supports quadband GSM/GPRS/EDGE as well as singleband UMTS/HSDPA at
2100 MHz as well as Bluetooth 2.0+EDR. Being a feature phone only, the Smart
neither sports WiFi nor a GPS receiver. The 2.8" TFT touchscreen supports QVGA
and the fixfocus camera supports 3.0 megapixel but also supports a supporting
flash LED.
At a size of 104 x 55 x 12.8 mm, the device weights 108 grams including the
battery. The inbuild 256 MB RAM and ROM can be expanded with microSD memory
HTC Smart enables personal customization of each person's own phone
experience. It also provides a quick and easy way to see what friends are up to
via various social networks as well as quickly communicating over the phone,
through text messaging or E-Mail. As unveiled earlier already, the HTC Smart
utilizes Qualcomm's Brew Mobile Platfrom, a popular mobile operating system that
enables feature phones to be offered at more aggressive price points, providing
HTC with the flexibility to deliver smartphone features on devices across
multiple tiers.
The HTC Smart will be available this spring across Europe and Asia. A price
wasn't given today.
Cheers ~ Arne
