HOBOKEN, NJ, July 13, 2001 -- The historic and recently restored Hoboken Terminal waiting room served as the backdrop for NJ TRANSIT's Hall of Fame ceremony -- where eight people were honored for their contributions to New Jersey's public transportation system.
The eight Hall of Fame inductees -- selected by NJ TRANSIT employees and the Corporation's Board of Directors -- were lauded for their consistent support of New Jersey's past, present and future rail, light rail and bus system during a gala event at the nearly century-old Hoboken Terminal.
"Each of the men and women honored tonight played a significant policy, advocacy or operational role in the success of NJ TRANSIT and/or its predecessor transportation companies," said New Jersey Transportation Commissioner and NJ TRANSIT Board Chairman James Weinstein. "With such a distinguished honor roll, it is clear why NJ TRANSIT is consistently ranked among the best-of-the-best by its peers."
"It is fitting to honor these men and women inside a building that is so rich in transportation history," said NJ TRANSIT Executive Director Jeffrey A. Warsh. "All of tonight's honored guests invested a portion of their lives making the commute more convenient and enjoyable for thousands of New Jerseyans."
NJ TRANSIT founded the Hall of Fame in 1999 as part of the Corporation's 20th anniversary.
Each of the Hall of Fame recipients receive a personalized brick paver, similar to one bearing their name that will be placed in front of the NJ TRANSIT headquarters building on Raymond Boulevard in Newark. The most recent inductees were:
During the evening's festivities, NJ TRANSIT Executive Director Jeffrey A. Warsh also revealed that the Bridgewater Train Station on the Raritan Valley Line will be rededicated in honor of Hall of Fame recipient Art Reuben. Bridgewater Station was chosen because of Reubens transportation contributions to Somerset County and on the Raritan Valley Line.
NJ TRANSIT's first Hall of Fame event was held in September 1999. At that time, 11 people were chosen as the charter members of the Hall of Fame:
NJ TRANSIT is the nation's only statewide public transportation system providing bus, rail and light rail services for 383,900 daily commuters on 240 bus routes, two light rail lines and 12 rail lines. It is the third largest transit system in the country with 162 rail stations, 26 light rail stations and more than 17,000 bus stops linking major points in New Jersey, New York and Philadelphia.

The body of Allan Lanteigne, 49, was found still dressed in his coat, face down in the front foyer of his home on March 3, 2011 just before 3:30p.m. He had been beaten to death.
Lanteigne was a caterer and an accounting clerk at the University of Toronto and, when he did not show up for work, a friend went to his home at 934 Ossington Avenue and, upon finding the body, called police. There were no signs of forced entry.
Lanteigne was married to but separated from Demitry Papasitiriou, 32. Police confirmed Papasitiriou, was in Switzerland studying for his doctorate in law at the time of Lanteigne's death.
On November 2, 2012, police arrested Papasitiriou and charged him with first-degree murder. A warrant was issued for "business associate" Mladen "Michael" Ivezic, 52, for first-degree murder. The murder was labelled by police as a "domestic homicide." Police would later say he and Papasitiriou were lovers and planned the murder together.
Prior to their arrests but after Laneigne's death, Papasitiriou and Ivezic launched proceedings to collect on Lanteigne's $2million life insurance policy, the money in his estate, funds from the sale of the house Papasitiriou owned (Lanteigne was not an owner) and to seek other financial gain from Lanteigne's death. Before collecting, Papasitiriou was arrested.
The house on Ossington sold for $900,000, but Papasitiriou was in jail. Superior Court Justice Susan Greer ordered Papasitiriou's portion of the proceeds frozen pending a future ruling, while his aunt and uncle, who co-owned the house, got their portions.
Following a three-week preliminary trial for both accused, on September 10, 2014, Ontario Court Justice Shaun Nakatsuru threw out all charges against Papasitiriou, stating "the evidence cannot reasonably support a finding of guilt."
However, the Crown sought to overturn the rare decision to dismiss charges of murder against Papasitiriou in October, 2014, by suggesting Justice Nakatsuru exceeded his authority by failing to consider the evidence as a whole. However, Ontario's Attorney General issued a "preferred indictment", and ordered the charges against Papasitiriou reinstated. He was re-arrested on October 29.
Six years after Lanteigne's murder, the case had yet to go to trial. During this time, Ivezic was in jail awaiting trial and Papasitiriou, who by 2017 was referred to by media as Papasitiriou-Lanteigne, was out on bail. They went to trial on November 27, 2017.
The Crown presented evidence of an affair between Papasitiriou and Ivezic in the form of sexually charged emails, alleging the affair started in 2009.
Just a month after the trial started, Ivezic fired his well-known defense lawyer, Marcy Segal, and chose to represent himself. He requested the right to cross-examine a police witness regarding Lanteigne's lifestyle, alleging his fetish for diaper porn and promiscuous sex life put him at risk of murder by someone else.
During the trial, Ivezic had his jailhouse computer and internet privileges cancelled after it was discovered he was looking at porn sites and had a Facebook account. Although he had been using the computer to prepare his case, he was also contacting journalists about his theories of police wrongdoing and how his DNA had been planted.
Papasitiriou did not testify, even though prosecutors said Lanteigne was lured to his home through emails from Papasotiriou, including this critical one at 8 a.m.: "Hi Allan, Just call me when you get home. There is a 7-hour time difference, so please don't call me 7 in the evening your time as it will be 2 a.m. here… don't dilly dally on your way home buying shoes and shirts and crystal balls."
Prosecutors had convinced the jury that Papasotiriou-Lanteigne, while in Greece, orchestrated the murder by having Ivezic lie in wait until Lanteigne arrived home from his University of Toronto accounting job on March 2, 2011.
On June 7, 2018, Demitry Papasotiriou-Lanteigne, now 38, and his lover, Michael Ivezic, now 57, were found guilty of first-degree murder and sentenced to life in prison with no chance of parole for 25 years.

Organizational changes are common culture in today's market. The main focus is to accomplish more with less and ITAM practices still need fine tuning in order to assess and measure their effectiveness if they want to be looked as an operational priority.
If you're faced with constant changes in your company, very few people can see the impact of organizational changes unless it's part of your duties or if you have expertise as a process analyst. A few years ago, I was asked if I could help hire our next team player that would take my position and my manager at the time was intrigued with my profile because she never hired a SAM portfolio manager. The idea of presenting several profiles seemed very beneficial during her research, but I soon informed her that SAM knowledge isn't something you learn in college. Barely 15 years ago, ITAM wasn't even considered a known profession but it was the IT manager's or IT support's responsibility to handle licensing demand. Manufacturer's complex requirements have grown exponentially after each product release that clients simply didn't have the ability to implement internal changes to practice effective ITAM.
Looking back, software manufacturers still dictate the market to this day. Many ITAM solutions have a hard time adjusting to sudden changes and this is normally synonym of product development.
Is it fair to compare ITAM in the same category as the social media industry? Both were relatively unknown professions back in the early 2000's yet social media have generated exponential job growth and their practices are even taught and used as research papers in colleges. If ITAM can reverse the myth of doing things reactively instead of proactively, then it's very possible to set that standard and be able to teach this profession in schools one day. Both professions have similarities in regards to the period they've emerged and how many jobs they've generated, although some would debate one is more emergent than the other.
Just take Walmart and look at how they handle supply chain management practices and impose all partners to adhere to their best practices in order to build partnerships. Very shrewd tactic some might say but essential in order to set a high standard. If a supplier wants to do business with Walmart, they should follow Walmart's requirements, period. Now fast forward to ITAM: can you beat the market by implementing effective and proactive processes so that your practices will be considered industry leading out of so many clients, competitors and vendors? If the consensus is generally negative, there are a few ways you can achieve better than most with the right profiles. In order to effectively assess IAITAM's 12 key process areas, I would generally focus on the following profiles: Inventory and warehousing expertise, resellers, purchasing, software asset managers, financial or accounting, business analyst, functional analyst and database analyst.
I've worked as a lone wolf early in my career where I was considered a "one man show" and many companies can relate to this situation. In order to suggest effective profiles in the ITAM industry, I soon realized being the only ITAM resource gives you an incredible amount of power which can be potentially dangerous for the company's bottom line. As a hardware asset manager, if you handle assets, you should never handle or send out purchase orders manually. Let the purchasing approval process take its course independently and then manage the received asset separately. If you wear more than one hat in this specific case, the company becomes vulnerable to internal theft more so than they can imagine. Unless everyone's professional integrity is assumed to be flawless, your hardware asset manager should be accountable for inventory movement at all times into what I like to call "control points". Generally, an inventory or warehousing background is very relevant to this profession because they share similar profiles. Simply teach that resource relevant IT data requirements to manage your assets accordingly and you can now consider having an efficient entry level hardware asset manager.
Many past colleagues came from resellers or have a purchasing background. What I appreciate the most out of this profile is whenever SAM manufacturers release a new product, resellers are normally the first ones to receive that product training from the supplier. In order for them to sell something new before its release date, their PO system and knowledge base have to be ready well before clients start buying it. In order to evaluate a purchaser, if that resource has knowledge of manufacturer's fiscal year end dates and can use this as leverage to negotiate contracts, I would definitely short list this candidate. If I really want to be impressed, I would ask that resource how category management can leverage our business decisions. If the answer goes along the way of assessing the products' category performance according to a clear set of objectives, tactics and strategies, this amount of knowledge is critical for vendor management needs.
The Software Asset Manager's (SAM) profile is a little more complex because it doesn't come from one specific background. Through time, SAM is a practice that has been learned a little by either pure curiosity, by being unfortunately audited, learning how certain 3rd party firms apply licensing rules or either by your system administrators limited product knowledge. There isn't a best background I can suggest although anyone with a legal, compliance, accounting or data mining expertise, I find it a great challenge to convince people with these profiles to change profession. In order to be able to evaluate your SAM analyst's knowledge, I normally like to ask a set of simple to complex questions such as: explain the difference between recycling vs reharvesting licenses. Explain in details how much you know about Oracle core factor table, SQL Server licensing rules and IBM's PVU/RVU table chart. By laying out a specific discovery output example in an Excel practice test and asking to quickly assess the data completeness, you'll quickly establish how good this analyst really is when it comes down to producing compliance reports especially if they claim to be licensing experts. If you can intentionally sanitize discovery data in order to evaluate if the analyst will point out missing data, you can assume that data integrity is part of the verification steps that weren't overlooked which is a great bonus. Many SAM analysts tend to forget duplicate data or inconsistent calculated data.
The importance of having a financial profile within your team has many advantages. You can have a perfect inventory but financial data records are an integral part of being properly audited and also to be able to budget and forecast efficiently. One of my clients decided to make it their very first priority before any other ITAM processes. Forget the compliance position, the lifecycle management, the disposal process; perfect financial visibility was their # 1 priority. The result: 99% accuracy with accounting and finance records at all times for all software maintenance contracts. Even Gartner was impressed when we asked them if this activity was well positioned within our priorities. The advantage of clearing financial records makes it easier to clean the inventory, remove duplicate data entries and also finding out if you're paying more than you should for the same products or product category. The other main advantage of the financial background is mainly to have an influence within your organization. Let's face it, numbers don't lie and they always represent the bottom line. This profile would be better suited for anyone that's responsible for budgeting, forecasting or for your IT Asset management director. Evaluating and assessing this profile is relatively straight forward. A candidate that emphasizes on caring about a budget as if it's his own money, I would keep an eye on that one!
As for the business analyst, the main focus within this expertise is to evaluate if the analyst is able to document processes, improve them, find waste and being able to deliver better solutions to inefficient practices. If your candidate is 6Sigma certified combined with a business analyst background, I normally prefer these candidates to assess how effective each processes really cost. Review your processes at least once a year or run the risk of being outsourced if your team delivers relatively small financial results and barely any cost control measures.
If you're not in the market to invest in ITAM solutions because of financial limitation but would like to develop in-house solutions, the functional analyst is one of the best profiles you can leverage because it translates business requirements into structured functions in a documented language that's easy for any developer to use and code. Regardless if the final solution will be a program user interface or in Office Access, the importance of what the functional analyst accomplishes will normally handle the test of time much better than expected. The reason: developers' that don't document their code represent a sustainability issue for your in-house solution.
The functional analyst working alongside the database analyst or database administrator (DBA) is normally a good match because the DBA knows everything there is about managing data information. Having a data repository is one of the ITAM's main requirements. Instead of doing everything in excel in a linear fashion with a countless amount of columns, the DBA can help you handling relational databases so that you won't have to deal with very long spreadsheets to update manually. There are many limitations if your data isn't normalized and a DBA knows how this information should be stored and managed regardless if you're building a manual repository or using an expensive ITAM solution. The data foundation needs to be a very solid base.
Throughout the years, I was taught through ITAM practices that achieving operational excellence should focus mainly on people, process and tools. However, ITIL's practices also mention the same but with a focus on the service design implementation phase where partners also play a vital role in a company's deployed solution. Take a smartphone for example: the phone is the tool, the user is the "people" and the process is how the user should operate it. Can you still use this smartphone in 3 or 4 years if there weren't any software upgrades or support by the manufacturer? Possibly, but considering a smartphones' configuration in 2017, it might be in a limited or unsecured capacity. So if your candidate claims some ITIL principles should be followed in order to achieve operational excellence, he's essentially right.
Categorizing these soft skills and evaluating them to fit business requirements is somewhat of a challenge. With so many unknowns and variables that might disrupt the industry in the next few years such as SaaS, cloud based licensing, IaaS or PaaS… most of them may already or will have an impact on your current practices. All of these aforementioned profiles combined with the ability to prepare for any new trends and using that expertise efficiently is how you can create a lasting standard. Be ahead of the game and re-assess your processes as many times as needed. Evaluating the right candidate is just as important as any other business decisions.

Tear Free Onion Chopping Tips

Ever since the book French Women Don't Get Fat I have been in love with Leeks. If you add a leek to a recipe often you don't need to add anything else for flavor! Not even salt! You can actually make soup that is delicious with nothing more than leeks butter and chicken broth. But first you have to know what to do with a leek. What on a leek is even edible? In order to cut up a leek you must get a large sharp kitchen knife. It has to be sharp to work. Next hold the leek by the white end and whittle off the dark green ends in three or four long strokes. you should be left with the white end and a long pointy light green end. Next cut off the roots from the white end. Slit the leek in half lengthwise and then chop how ever you want. Leeks tend to be gritty and sandy on the inside so be sure to wash them well. When it comes to cooking just treat them as you would any onion.
I was pretty excited to learn this one! Asparagus is delicious but the woody bottom of the stalk can ruin a perfectly good asparagus experience. Lets face it, if you are going to spend that much money on a veggie you better enjoy every last bite! I use to tap down the stem with a knife until the knife easily cut into the stalk. But one day my uncle saw me doing that and he showed me that if you just hold the asparagus at each end and snap it that it will always snap off at the exact spot between tender and tough. So there you go simply snap your asparagus into your colander before your rinse it off and then cook it in your favorite way. I still love good old-fashioned steamed asparagus but grilled is pretty darn good too.
Poaching is one of the easiest ways to cook an egg and I'm always surprised to hear how many people have not been taught how. So for those of you who have always wanted to know. Here you go!
A pot of simmering water
A bowl
A slotted spoon
A towel or paper towel
Bread for toasting
Bring a pot of water to a simmer on your stove. Be sure that the water is deep enough that the eggs won't stick to the bottom of the pot. Add a splash of vinegar to the water. I like the taste of the vinegar so I usually add about a quarter cup but adding a few tablespoons is fine too. The vinegar will stabilize the white of the egg and prevent it from spreading around the pot. Vinegar makes egg whites slightly firmer than usual; some people find this unappealing. You can always choose to omit the vinegar but in my opinion it is the best part of poached eggs. Personally I love the crisp fresh flavor the vinegar gives to the eggs. I find it especially refreshing to the palate when poached eggs are accompanied by a heavy sauce like hollandaise in eggs Benedict.
Next crack your eggs into separate bowls and have them ready for the water. It takes 3 to 5 minutes to poach an egg depending on your preference. If you want a perfect medium egg use your toast as a timer. Simply put your toast down just before you add your egg to the water and by the time it pops you will have a perfect egg. Using your slotted spoon scoop your egg out of the water and touch the bottom of the spoon to the towel or paper towel before sliding it on to your toast.This will prevent you from getting a soggy spot on your toast. Add salt and pepper and enjoy!
Just like anything else practice makes perfect. You will find the perfect speed of simmer for your water and your favorite amount of vinegar. Play with this technique and make it your own.
I have to say most of the time when I think about making a cake I just want to decorate it. I tend to use boxed cake mixes the majority of the time. I'm sure this will change when my daughter wants to help me bake but for now I want something quick and easy and reliable. having said that there is no reason not to be as creative as possible with those cakes.
If you want a boxed cake mix to taste deceptively decadent it's easy; just do some simple substitutions.
Have fun! The very worst case scenario your cake will flop. Not a big deal. You may even discover something new!

Surrogacy Laws in Washington
Washington permits surrogacy agreements that are uncompensated but says it's not legal and not enforceable where there's any agreement with the surrogate mother other than for legal and medical expenses. The question of surrogacy contracts dealing with LGBT individuals and couples hasn't been looked at by the courts yet.
Washington laws specify that surrogacy agreements that are compensated are not enforceable and void because they are against public policy. Moreover, agreements like these can be punished in a court of law as a gross misdemeanor. The law suggests that if a custody disagreement arises between the intended parents and the surrogate mother, a court should handle the matter by using a balancing test that's multi-pronged, according to the child's relationship with each parent. A surrogate parentage contract that's valid can help establish a parent-child relationship or a physician's certificate and an affidavit where the gestational surrogate or egg donor lays out her intent to be the child's legal parent. There was an opinion in 1989 where the Attorney General verified this assessment of the state's law, and it also suggested that a surrogate parenting contract isn't enforceable if the surrogate mother takes away her consent to give up the child before a court has verified that consent too.
There was a Supreme Court case in Washington in 2005 which addressed a lesbian couple who separated after they had tried to have a child through artificial insemination. The Court said that the partner who wasn't genetically linked to the child had grounds for arguing that she was a parent of the child. Even though the case didn't have to do with a surrogacy contract, it indicated that the courts in Washington were willing to give consideration at least to giving equal parental rights to LGBT couples and individuals.

Whether it is regret for having done something like staying in a job or relationship too long, saying something that irrevocably changed a relationship, or not taking an opportunity when it is presented, regret comes in many forms.
Some of my biggest regrets are how I treated people. Growing up I was not a great communicator, and I was not shown how to communicate, respect or value others to the level they deserved. This showed up in how I interacted with people. The thing here is that I only very recently developed this understanding, because of the love of Lisa. I didn't know what I didn't know. I'm sorry for how I behaved in the past and regret it. I hope I am better now. Life is a journey which I hope improves my learning as I go.
I have regrets in some decisions I've made. I have regrets in not taking some opportunities as they presented themselves. Some of these have been when I've been travelling and there was an opportunity to do something, but because I was younger and I believed I'd be back to that place I never did it. Now I know. If there is an opportunity, and I feel like I want to do it, I do it (with consideration to others, and our bank account obviously!).
Mostly my regrets are in things I didn't do. I don't have regrets for things I did that didn't turn out well in the end, because at the time I made the decision, and even if it didn't end well – the journey until that ending was mostly good. It is like when you go on holiday somewhere and have a fantastic time – and then the flight home is delayed and plans are disrupted. This doesn't mean the holiday wasn't great.
Regret is not guilt. It can feel like it, but guilt is a different altogether. Wow – we're nurtured to feel guilty. I don't even want to cover that here.
I don't wallow in the regrets because there are so many beautiful things going on in my life, and my hopes for the future are strong. On top of this I'm learning how to make better decisions – not less risky decisions but decisions aligned to my values.
"Don't look back with regret. Look forward with hope." – Author Unkown
Regret comes often in a grieving process at the loss of something or someone. Or things might not be going well right now, and you look back saying "If only I'd …" or "I wish I had …" Reducing regret is about learning from the past, and making positive choices now. There is a good chance that the decision you made when you said "If only I'd …", will be repeated again because there is something in your subconscious driving this, whether it is lack of courage, a value of security, whatever. The regret will recur.
So when we look at the biggest regret in people's lives – not living the life you truly wanted, how does this come about. In my mind it comes about from not taking a risk and backing yourself. Not having the courage to step out. Nothing starts with confidence. It starts with hope, belief and courage. Courage knowing those close to you will show anger, abandon you, treat you as an outcast. "How dare you!" I've had all this – believe me. But let me tell you something – It's worth it! Confidence, and self-confidence, comes from taking action, repeated action, on the back of this courage. Or you can play it safe. Cosy in your comfort zone – not disturbing anyone, least yourself.
I've been in enough change situations, researched and read about enough change in organisations and people to know how difficult change for people can be – and the chances (if you aren't living your authentic self) are that you will find it extremely difficult. In fact it is almost impossible without support. The power needed to overcome the status quo, social norms, peer pressure, having the tough conversations, dealing with the emotions and turmoil is big. But again let me tell you. I've been there – and I came through. It is worth it!
If you're living, with regret welling up inside you, do one thing to make a change. Join a networking group, a social club, something. You'll be surprised how you'll see things differently. You don't need to make the huge courageous change or life move in one go. Bite off as much as you can cope with. Keep moving.
"The real regrets in life are the risks you didn't take" – Habeeb Akande
The sooner you deal with some hard stuff and move to live as you really are, the less regrets you will have.
Imagine living the rest of your life knowing you will have this regret at the end. What sort of torture is that?
What will your biggest regret be? You still have time to make this right.
Let me know your thoughts in the comments below.
Take care,

Funding for the professional development of faculty at Whitman is provided in several ways. Faculty in visiting appointments receive "contract travel" with their initial appointments. Continuing faculty in tenure-track and Senior appointments receive a PDA each year. Faculty with a PDA (Professional Development Allowance) may apply for additional ASID funding, which is also available to faculty ineligible for either contract travel or a PDA. Funds for instructional development may also be available through the Center for Teaching and Learning. Calls for proposals typically come out twice a year.
Professional Development Allowance (PDA):
Tenured and tenure-track faculty not supported by start-up funds or income from an endowed chair as well as faculty with Senior status will be provided with $2,500 each fiscal year (July 1 to June 30) to support their professional development. Eligible faculty requiring additional funds for their professional development may also apply for ASID funds (see below).
Activities Eligible for PDA or ASID Funding Include:
- Journal subscriptions and memberships in professional societies
- Research materials such as books, software, supplies, photocopying and expendable supplies and minor equipment. The funds are not to be used to support items or activities otherwise supported by departmental or program budgets such as computer, office furniture purchases, or teaching materials directly associated with a scheduled class. However, books to research a new course are appropriate uses of professional development funds.
- Editing, indexing, preparation of figures, and other costs associated with the preparation and publication of scholarly materials. Please contact the Associate Dean for Faculty Development, Helen Kim before using your PDA for this purpose.
- Limited wages for student assistance in support of a research project.
- Travel to a professional conference, workshop, or meeting related to ones scholarly research or teaching.
- Travel for short-term independent research (e.g. field site, archives).
Disallowed Expenses: PDA or ASID funds cannot be used to purchase individual commercial memberships such as Amazon Prime or personal cell phone or local internet services. Whitman College funds cannot be used to pre-pay professional development expenses that will later be reimbursed by an outside agency or organization.
- Faculty with a PDA planning to apply for ASID funds must limit their non-travel expenses to $750 per fiscal year.
- Any equipment or other durable resources (e.g., laptops, iPad, lab/studio tools, books) purchased with PDA/ASID funds will become property of the College. Please consult with WCTS on electronic devices and software before the purchase is made.
- Allowable meal expenses include an average maximum food allowance of $75 per day (with a maximum of $375 in total for food during professional travel that exceeds five days). For additional specifics, see the Whitman Faculty Handbook. Itemized receipts are required.
- Allowable transportation expenses:
1. Airfare: Coach rate only; upgrades and travel insurance are generally not permitted.
2. Mileage reimbursed at current IRS rate for using a personal vehicle.
3. A rental car may be more economical in some situations. Whitman's contract with Enterprise and National usually waives drop-off fees; ask Ruth Ladderud for the direct bill code. (Please note that gas for vehicles is reimbursed only for rental or College vehicles).
- Reimbursement is allowed for up to $50 per day from a licensed child care provider for child care expenses up to five days. (Please check with Ruth Ladderud or Qi Jia before proceeding).
- A completed and signed IRS Form W-9 must accompany reimbursement requests for invoices from an individual, landlord, or any unincorporated entity, such as childcare providers, non-commercial lodging or independent service providers. In the case of JPM credit card purchases for these services, there is no need to obtain a W-9. For the work that is completed by a non-U.S. citizen/service provider, a different tax form may be required. Please contact Qi Jia/Ruth Ladderud for more information.
PDA Roll-over: Professional development funds not used during the current fiscal year may roll over to the next fiscal year if: 1) no ASID funds (see below) have been received, and 2) the faculty member can justify how the funds will be used to augment only the next year's PDA funding. For example, a faculty member may request to roll over his or her remaining PDA funds from one year to the next year in order to fund a specific project. Please note, however, that the maximum amount that can roll over in one year is $2,500.
Requests to roll over PDA funds must be submitted to the Office of the Provost and Dean of the Faculty, c/o Qi Jia, no later than May 31.
Reimbursements: Professional development funding is administered through the Provost and Dean of the Faculty Office and the contact point for reimbursement is Ruth Ladderud. Itemized receipts should be submitted within 30 days of the completion of any travel.
Aid to Faculty Scholarship and Instructional Development (ASID)
Additional ASID funds are available for faculty whose professional needs exceed their PDA or for faculty who do not receive a PDA. Visiting faculty receive contract travel funds and are not eligible to apply for ASID funding.
Requirements for applying for ASID funding:
- The faculty member must complete an application and submit according to the timeline below.
- Faculty who receive a PDA must have spent no more than $750 in non-travel expenses within an academic year. This will be indicated on the application form.
- Faculty must also have designated the use of their PDA funds before requesting additional funds from ASID.
- Faculty in tenure-track positions, for whom scholarly work is an ongoing expectation, should expect to receive no more than $3,500 per year in ASID funding ($4,000 if international travel is required). Faculty in other types of appointments can typically expect no more than $1,500 per year although some projects could be considered on an exceptional basis.
In making its decision, the Committee will take into account the following factors:
- The merit of the project
- The relation of the project to the faculty member's professional responsibilities
- Tangible results of previous ASID grants
- The faculty oversight of their past PDA/ASID funds
- The amount requested compared with the total amount of funds available
- Sufficient justification and information provided with the application
Timeline: Faculty who do not receive a PDA can apply at any time for ASID funding; their application will be reviewed on a rolling basis by the Associate Dean for Faculty Development. Faculty who receive regular professional development support in the form of a PDA must submit their proposal for review by the ASID committee according to the following deadlines:
- April 15 - projects to be completed between July 1 and November 30.
- September 15 - projects to be completed between October 1 and March 31.
- November 15 - projects to be completed between December 1 and June 30.
- February 15 - projects to be completed between April 1 and September 30.
To apply, please submit an application to the Office of the Provost and Dean of the Faculty, C/O Qi Jia.

Sometimes when you're not the focal point of a group, you can fall into obscurity.
Luckily for Big Pooh [Click to read interview] of Little Brother, he's been able to keep his name in circulation (even though it's difficult talking about him without thinking of Phonte and former member 9th Wonder).
This time around, he's back to reassure the Hip-Hop community that he's an MC in his own right with The Delightful Bars (North American Pie Version).
Besides the yummy cover art, Big Pooh also manages to feed true Hip-Hop heads' appetite with an album that features production from sound techs like 9th Wonder himself, Illmind, Khrysis, Young RJ, and Jake One.
Surprisingly, Phonte doesn't make an appearance on the album, but other Justus League brethren like Joe Scudda, Darien Brockington, and Chaundon lend a helping hand.
Big Pooh's blue-collar style of lyricism kicks off with the slow-produced tale of 'C.O.D.,' and how he needs to be paid for his services.
Then the North Carolina native picks up the tempo a little more on 'It's A Go' (featuring Torae). Both MC's shine through over the catchy production, as Pooh drops lines like, "This is Hip-Hop's finest/this is your highness/blanketing whack sh*t/I am Hip-Hop's Linus."
'Move' featuring Darien Brockington can be considered as Pooh's shot at the club scene just from feel of the production alone, and if so, he does a decent job with the help of his go-to crooner.
'Rearview Mirror' is a blast from the past with 9th Wonder dropping in to briefly rekindle that Little Brother chemistry, as Big Pooh touches on the Little Brother situation; "We made a bit of magic when we did it as three/then we grew up/then we grew apart/that's when I realized it was bigger than art."
Black Milk's ex-producing partner Young RJ brings his Detroit aura to 'Nothing Less,' equipped with those trademark dirty drum kicks and all.
On 'Step Up,' Big Pooh talks about the trials and tribulations of being a parent for the first time, and how important it is to do the right thing behind the quirky production hosted by an offset drum pattern.
Pooh finishes the rest of his bars with songs like 'Roll Call' featuring Jozeemo, Chaundon, and Joe Scudda, 'The Comeback' (produced by Khrysis), and 'The Life' (also produced by Khrysis), and 'Problems' (produced by Illmind).
Big Pooh may not be one of the most complex lyricists out there, but his dedication to constantly perfect his craft shows on every solo effort he's released from Sleepers back in 2004 straight to The Delightful Bars.
While some may have thought about his involvement with Little Brother as a hindrance, Rapper Big Pooh proves that stigma to be an incorrect one once again with another solid effort on his own…

Have you already been accused of a crime? There are many major prison issues affecting the United States today and if you are not careful to retain an experienced criminal defense attorney immediately, you could find yourself the latest person dealing with negative outcomes inside a prison. Prison overcrowding, health care, racism, gang activity, privatization, assaults and more, are just a few of the problems that face prisons today.
This is why many advocates are calling for prison reform. There are nearly 2.3 million people currently living behind bars in the United States. The United States is home to the world's biggest prison population. The war on drugs was followed by get tough on crime laws such as three strikes laws. There are many issues in prisons today associated with taking care of mentally ill inmates and providing appropriate healthcare.
All of these issues combine to make for a devastating situation for someone who has been accused of a crime and doesn't get the right support from an experienced criminal defense attorney. Getting criminal defense help immediately is the best way for a person who has been accused of a crime to understand all of the possible consequences, including probation, time behind bars, fines, restitution and other repercussions of being convicted of a crime. When you sit down with a criminal defense attorney who gives you an honest appraisal of your situation, you will feel much more confident about how to move forward and develop a defense strategy that keeps your best interests in mind. The sooner you retain an attorney, the better you will feel about your future.
No one knows what might happen if you're accused of a crime, but you should always assume that you need an attorney to fight back. Trying to handle a case like this on your own could mean big mistakes that destroy your future. It's far better to have a lawyer to help you. This may be the only way for you to avoid critical consequences and problems with your future- an attorney is a powerful advocate and resource.

After ten years in the instrumental ensemble Balmorhea, Rob Lowe is releasing his first R&B-inflected solo LP, Slow Time, under the moniker RG Lowe. The record, while incorporating elements from pop and choral music, largely looks back on the warmth and spiritual ecstasy of early R&B through the disjunctive lens of contemporary life.
Lowe, who plays keys, guitar, and provides the vocals on Slow Time, wrote and arranged about forty songs from 2014 to 2015 at his studio in Austin, TX where he resides. Though his wordless vocals appeared occasionally on Balmorhea's albums, on Slow Time we hear the impressive range and malleability of his voice as he glides from hymnal backing harmonies, to melismatic bridges, to punchy choruses and pained screeches that stretch his voice to its unbelievable limits.

Life is hard. That doesn't mean it isn't wonderful, beautiful, and amazing as well, but it is hard, and often damn hard. We also like to acknowledge that recovery isn't quick, easy, of painless, but it is worth it, YOU are worth it, and your family and friends, such as they are, are worth it. So what is the point of recovery? What is it we are trying to recover? Our True Self. This is the Self that is loving, kind, jubilently joyous, and fully alive.
It is a hard a hard road, and one that often requires a heroic effort. We all have that warrior, that hero within us always. Realizing, accessing, and empowering that hero to return to our True Self is the heart of our quest. Further on in the Super Powers section you will see how we can access all the power, presence, of the universe through our Higher Power to make this great journey.
For now, we want to familiarize you with the nature of True Self through a further exploration here. This is the most important journey we will ever make, as this is where true love, peace, joy, beauty, and all the rest of the best life has to offer is found. Too often the hate, chaos, sorrow, and ugliness of life has gotten us down and kept us there. It is high time for a change, and before it is too late!
Too make this dangerous and difficult journey we are going to need all the help we can get. There is help, there is hope, healing, and happiness waiting on the other side. We need access to our inner warrior. Not to fight against others, but against the disease, dysfunction, and insanity in the world, in ourselves, and others.

Implementation Strategies
View a selection of implementation strategies from homeschoolers who are successfully using ALEKS to achieve dramatic learning outcomes.
Jana Miller
Rancho Santa Margarita, CA
Scenario: Homeschool Core Curriculum
Purpose: Improve Skills
Time Spent in ALEKS: 30 minutes per day, 4–5 days a week
ALEKS Course: Essential Mathematics (with QuickTables), High School Geometry
Overall Experience:
Fantastic! Both of my sons have used ALEKS. My youngest son is being homeschooled, and my oldest is in Geometry at Pacific Coast High School. First semester, he used a textbook and received an A-/B+ on the midterm. He switched to ALEKS at the quarter and got 100 percent on his final; this is a child who has never done well with small details. My other son started ALEKS in seventh grade for Essential Mathematics. He finished that early and is now using Pre-Algebra. I have assigned him one new topic per day; he also completes assessments and reviews as they pop up. He used ALEKS completely independently this summer. I love ALEKS!
What challenges did the student face in math prior to using ALEKS?
My son got burned out on math early. We started homeschooling in third grade and I saw that he was very good in math so I pushed him. I backed off during his sixth grade year, but then he was behind. With ALEKS, he caught up and is ahead without the frustration of having to do so many problems. We tried so many other programs: Math-U-See, Singapore, Horizons, Saxon . . . none of them work like ALEKS.
What were you looking for in an online math tool?
I wasn't looking and I dismissed it when I first heard ALEKS mentioned because I wanted the pencil in his hand. I'm a huge math-lover; it always was my favorite subject. My first impression was, "No way, you can't do math online and I'm not going to dumb down to multiple-choice questions." Of course, that was before I really looked at the program. ALEKS uses minimal multiple-choice problems, and students must enter their answers.
What math progress has the student experienced since using ALEKS?
My sons went from being behind to being ahead in math!

What is it about a pom pom hat that just tops off any outfit? Apologies in advance for so much of this outfit being out of stock. I understand the nature of the business, but it's shocking to me how hard it is to find winter appropriate clothing online now. Are we really chatting and shopping spring already?! (Canadian rant for you lol!)

text: I was incorrect in my earlier statement. On my RedHat 7.3 box with Postfix 1.7 installed via RPM is running as postfix. Thanks, David -----Original Message----- From: Justin Georgeson [mailto:jgeorgeson at unboundtech.com] Sent: Wednesday, January 29, 2003 10:30 AM To: mailman-users at python.org Subject: Re: [Mailman-Users] mailman-2.1-1.i386.rpm I have the latest package from RedHat (2.1-7) running on RedHat 7.3 over Postfix 1.7. I had to change the spec file slightly (use postfix and python2 instead of sendmail and python), and can give anyone who wants it a diff. The [beta] packages are available here: ftp://ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/linux/rawhide/i386/RedHat/Base/mailman-2.1-7 .i386.rpm ftp://ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/linux/rawhide/SRPMS/SRPMS/mailman-2.1-7.src. rpm The fact that these are in RawHide means they are beta (it's working well for me though). Any and all reported issues should be reported to bugzilla.redhat.com. If uses sendmail as the MTA by default, but it's pretty easy to edit the post-install scripts to use postfix files instead of sendmail. If you get the source RPM, you can set the mailgroup and mailgid variables in the spec file to be whatever you want. By default it's a group of groups/gids: mail; nobody; mailman. The comment says postfix is run as nobody, but my 1.7 RPM Postfix RPM from RedHat 7.3 runs as postfix. Not sure if they maybe changed they in 8.0 or somewhere in Rawhide. I didn't notice or change these variables in my installation, and it hasn't been a problem for me so far. Parker, David K wrote: > Apparently the RPM was set expect Postfix MTA to run as mail.

Feeding Tubes May Be Over-Used In Dementia Patients
The effectiveness of feeding tubes in dementia patients is questionable– according to a study to be published in the Journal of the American Medical Association. The study carried out by Dr. Joan Teno evaluated a sampling of nursing home patients who had been admitted to acute-care hospitals between 2000 and 2007. In addition to a questionable improvement in the quality of life of dementia patients, the study determined that this group was more likely to receive a feeding tube if they received medical treatment at large, for-profit hospitals.
Feeding tube use amongst dementia patients is extremely common. According to a Business Week article, more than one-third of dementia patients in nursing homes currently have feeding tubes, with the majority of those being inserted during an acute care-hospitalization.
One reason possible reason for the frequency in the insertion of feeding tubes during acute hospitalizations may be due to the fact that when dementia patients enter a new environment– such as an acute-care hospital, they have a difficult time adjusting to the new environment and may not immediately eat.
"They often get very stressed out, have disruptive behavior, get medications to treat that behavior, which leads them to developing bed sores and problems with eating, which leads to having a feeding tube inserted," according to Teno. "Part of what we need to do is align the incentives to keep frail older dementia patients in the least restrictive setting that will provide the best medical care."
As an alternative to feeding tubes, some experts suggest 'spoon feeding' patients. Using a spoon feeding method, a person literally feeds the person with a spoon at his or her own pace. Some experts suggest that spoon feeding may not necessarily prolong the life of the individual, but it can improve the quality of it.
Patients who have feeding tubes in a nursing home or hospital setting are at risk for a variety of medical complications including:
Gastroesophageal reflux caused from gastric juices being forced back into the esophagus can occur with feeding tubes because the tubes sometimes cause a delay in the emptying of the stomach. This means that a person has to have more frequent, smaller feedings.
Clogging: Most feeding tubes are very narrow, and commercial tube feeding formulas such as Ensure, are designed so that they will not clog the tube; they are not too thick and do not leave a residue. Most formulas are designed to have water added to them to ensure that the patient is receiving enough dietary water, and to further thin the formula for ease of use. Staff should flush the tube with water before and after feedings, or after medications have been administered through the tube. The use of noncommercial formulas is discouraged, because there is a greater likelihood that they will contribute to clogging. After the tube is placed, a registered dietitian or a nurse who specializes in nutrition should assess the patient to determine their nutritional needs, the amount of calories, protein, and fluids that will be necessary, as well as the most appropriate nutritional formula and how much of that formula will be needed each day.
Nausea and vomiting is a common problem with feeding tubes. It occurs when liquid food is administered to an individual through a tube too quickly, or when the formula provided through the tube is too high in protein and/or calories. Migration (shifting) of the tube, bacterial infections and air in the stomach can cause nausea and vomiting as well.
Leakage is a complication of feeding tubes that occurs typically because the size of the stoma around the tube has increased, or because the position of the tube is improper due to bad placement or general shifting. This problem sometimes requires replacement of the tube, and it forces an individual or attending physician to keep the stoma clean with protective gauze and ointment.
Constipation occurs frequently with feeding tubes because the liquids that are administered through the tubes don't always have as much bulk or fiber as normal foods. Without fiber, an individual's digestive system has trouble retaining enough fluid and staying regular enough to produce frequent bowel movements. This problem means that the individual either has to find a way to introduce liquids that are higher in fiber through the tube (which can increase the risk of the tube clogging), or she has to take medications to relieve constipation.
Choking / Aspiration can occur if an individual is administered food through a feeding tube while in an improper position. This can result in choking, coughing and pneumonia. These, in turn, can aggravate the stoma, because the abdominal wall is forced to engage forcefully during a cough or sneeze. The aggravation of the stoma can lead to further infection. Most medical professionals suggest feeding patients when they are as up-right as possible to avoid aspiration on the food.
Many of these problems can be avoided when facilities employ adequate numbers of properly trained staff. Consequently, if you have a loved one who require tube feeding, it is important to check with the facility to make sure they are accustomed to handling patients with these medical needs.

Common Complications of Tube Feeding
Nursing Home Staff Must Pay Special Attention To Avoid Complications When Caring For Patients Dependent On Feeding Tubes


text: When a pilot enters a plane, there are four key things he must check before taking off. These are: The "lift", "thrust", "weight", and "drag". And all these four components works based on the principle of "force". In life, there are forces that aids you to success and actualize your dreams, and there those that pulls you down or becomes an impediment on your way to success. This principle is also applicable to our relationship as human beings. There's a school of thought that says, "your success in five years time, will depend on two things, the books you read and the people you meet". Those four components of the aircraft, can also be linked to the categories of friends we have. There are friends who belongs to the "LIFT" category. These are friends who encourages and lifts us up when we are downcasted. They support our dreams, and can do anything to help us actualize it, even when we have failed and feel discouraged, they motivate us, they give us hope that rekindles our passion, and always stands by us. The second category, "THRUST" are also similar to the first, while the first category takes it very slowly, passionately appealing and encouraging us not to give up, these categories are daring, they try to break every barrier that tends to impede our journey to the acme of success. These categories can do whatever it takes to fire us to the zenith of success in life. They do not take no for an answer, and they're very determined to help you actualize your dreams. The "WEIGHT" are those categories of people who tends to weigh us down. They make you believe you can't make it or achieve your dream. They try to suppress every of your plans, and pulls you down to the level of failure. They are negative forces that needs to be overcomed in order to make it to the top. The last category is the "DRAG". These categories drags you backwards unknowingly. You want to move forward, but they're always there to drag you backwards. They're also negative forces you should overcome, in order to move forward in life. The question now is, who are the people in your life right now? Are they positive forces that aids you to succeed or negative forces that hinders you??

Prior to its 2007 merger with CommScope, Andrew Corporation provided radio frequency (RF) products used in the infrastructure for wireless networks.
A company creates wealth for its long-term shareholders in 2 main ways - through dividend payments and through the accumulation of retained earnings. This graph shows the accumulation of per-share equity of long-term shareholders (green bars), which consists of the retained earnings plus all capital invested in the company, and the cumulative dividends the company has paid over time per share of its stock (blue bars).
In the words of Warren Buffett: "We're looking for... businesses earning good returns on equity while employing little or no debt."
Return on equity is a key metric of financial performance, indicating a company's ability to generate earnings using shareholder capital. Over time, ROE is one of the major determinants of the rate at which a company creates shareholder wealth. The average ROE for large U.S. companies is 12%, and many investors use it as a threshold for attractive investments.
Companies can boost ROE by increasing leverage, which reduces the safety of the investment. Therefore, it is useful to look at the return on assets (ROA), which measures a company's earning power regardless of its capital structure. A widening gap between ROE and ROA may be a warning sign that should be thoroughly investigated.
Earnings per share is a popular metric used to value a company (using P/E ratio); growth in EPS is often used to judge company growth potential. However, many investors believe that EPS is an inferior metric to ROE, because it ignores the amount of capital the company used to generate earnings.
Free cash flow shows how much cash a company generates from operations, above and beyond what is required to maintain or expand its productive assets. This cash can be returned to investors, or spent by management on growing the company or paying back its debts.
Balance sheets of many companies contain intangible assets such as goodwill, trademarks, patents, etc. Many investors consider intangibles more difficult to value than physical assets. If intangible assets had been valued incorrectly, they must be impaired, resulting in a loss charged against shareholder equity. This chart demonstrates the potential loss to shareholder equity from such impairments.
Companies often use debt financing to increase their return on equity. However, as the amount of debt financing increases relative to the amount of equity financing, the company becomes more sensitive to down turns and other negative events. As a result, many investors use the ratio of debt to equity as a measure of a company's financial risk, and avoid companies that have this ratio above 1.
This chart shows shareholder equity as a percentage of total assets, allowing investors to judge the overall leverage. Companies with a higher proportion of equity can be viewed as safer investments. This metric is particularly important for highly leveraged institutions, such as banks, where it must be at least 4% according to government regulations.
The ratio of current assets to current liabilities is known as the current ratio. This metric is a quick measure of the company's ability to pay its short-term obligations. A current ratio below 1 is a warning sign that should be investigated, especially for companies that cannot count on adequate cash flow from operations.
This chart shows the cumulative dilution of investor ownership in a company over time. Dilution reduces an investor's participation in the future earnings. Dilution increases when a company issues new shares, and decreases when a company buys its shares back. Many investors avoid companies with large chronic dilution.
analysis provides insight into factors affecting the Return On Equity of a company.
The DuPont equation decomposes ROE as follows:
ROE = (Net margin) * (Asset turnover) * (Asset to equity ratio)
Net margin indicates operating efficiency, Asset turnover measures the total asset use efficiency, and the Asset to equity ratio is a measure of financial leverage.
The dividend payout ratio tells investors what percentage of earnings a company returns to shareholders, and what percentage it retains and reinvests. This ratio represents a major capital allocation decision by the company, and can be used to judge management rationality. Rational management should pay out all earnings that cannot be productively reinvested. Therefore, a low dividend payout ratio for a profitable company with a low growth potential may be a warning sign.
Many investors use the P/B ratio as a quick way of judging company valuation. Value investors - followers of Graham and Dodd - specifically seek out companies with low P/B ratios. However, investors should be careful not to make investment decisions on this metric alone, without considering a company's earning and growth potential, since a low P/B ratio can be a sign of a bleak future for the business.
P/E ratio is a popular way of making a quick judgment of a company valuation. Value investors - followers of Graham and Dodd - often seek solid companies with low P/E ratios as investment opportunities. However, P/E ratio represents an oversimplified approach to business valuation, and can often lead to incorrect investment decisions.
On June 4, 2002, the company completed its acquisition of Celiant Corporation. Celiant designs, manufactures and markets radio frequency (RF) power amplifiers for use in wireless communications networks for cellular, PCS, 2G and 3G base stations. The company paid $481.0 million for Celiant. This consisted of $203.1 million in cash, 16,278,805 shares of the company's stock valued at $266.6 million and $11.3 million of acquisition related costs.
The company completed its acquisition of Allen Telecom Inc. on July 15, 2003. Andrew issued approximately 55 million shares of common stock and one million shares of convertible preferred stock to acquire Allen in an all stock transaction. The company has made a preliminary estimate that it will incur approximately $57 million of cash costs to complete this merger.
CommScope, Inc. announced that it has acquired Andrew Corporation at a purchase price of about $2.65 billion making Andrew Corp a fully owned subsidiary of Commscope.

If you've paid any attention to this blog (well, back when it was more active) you might have noticed that my life has been pretty chaotic for the last…forever? Well, for the last three years, anyway. I've been dodging from one identity to another, and from crisis to crisis.
My whole life totally collapsed back in 2015 when I had to drop out of my graduate program due to mental health issues. Even though I've been accepted into another program at another university, things have been rough until quite recently. Yet my life has somehow begun to stabilize.
I was born with Saturn in Sagittarius. My Saturn return began in December of 2014, and is now coming to an end. I'm not an overly enthusiastic proponent of astrology (it often seems too deterministic), but I do believe in cycles. Saturn return is a pretty powerful cycle.

Nestled on Arunine Bay are the old historical twin towns of Port Denison and Dongara, the coastal contact for the Shire of Irwin.
In 1839, an expedition led by George Grey left the Swan River Colony by ship, bound for the area north of the Murchison River. His boats and supplies destroyed in a cyclone, his only alternative was a gruelling 700km trek south to the colony.
Captain Grey and his party thus became the first Europeans to traverse the Irwin District and note the extent of the lush pastoral country in the Irwin Basin.
The Aboriginal people of this region (the Wattandee) saw the first permanent European settlement of Irwin in 1850. In 1852, a townsite was surveyed and named "Dhungarra" - a name given to the area by local tribal natives to indicate a "meeting place of seals".
From this time on, the area gradually became settled. This progress was understandably slow because of the distances involved and the slowness of available means of transport. Unknown dangers played their part in hindering settlement as in the case of the sailing ship "Leander". In 1853, she struck the reef which now bears her name. Commander, Captain Johnson, managed to run in and beach her on the then uninhabited coast. The Captain and crew managed to reach Mr Burges' property on the Upper Irwin.
By 1866, the small settlement was beginning to flex its community muscle and a jetty was built at Port Irwin; at the same time, an Inn was built, which is still in use today.
Finally, in 1871, the Irwin Road Board was formed. It stretched to the South Australian border and covered 89,000 square miles. In its early years, meetings were held in the Courthouse which was built around the same time, along with a School and Police Station. This progress continued as surely as the gradual growth of the majestic trees lining the main street.

The Well being Services Department includes the Abilene Taylor-County Public Health District and is the community's source for well being administration & maintenance, whether or not it's private well being or environmental health. Most localities require vaccination every three years even though research in France and blood antibody exams in this nation present that the rabies vaccine's immunity lasts for seven years. Even the emergency vet mentioned it was virtually actually an immune system reaction brought on by the rabies vaccine.
Moreover, MLV vaccination has been related to the event of transient seizures in puppies and adult dogs of breeds or cross-breeds vulnerable to immune-mediated illnesses particularly these involving hematologic or endocrine tissues (e.g. AIHA, ITP, autoimmune thyroiditis).
It's attention-grabbing to notice that the most strenuous opposition to this kind of health care reform in America comes from the people and organizations who are reaping monumental financial profit from the at the moment current well being care techniques and insurance firm payment constructions.
Offering a statue should be enough for the agony the slave ladies endured. We're in a horrible state in the present day, with drug firms calling the photographs. Diana Burrell-Shipton 2 years ago from Hubbard, Ohio, USA. Chemo does do a quantity on the immune system, and, sure, the entire system is pushed by drugs.
In the early 90s the United States scientists who produce research findings that Black Seed Oil was not solely working to heal but additionally incorporates more than 100 elements that support system the human immune system, including parts that may treatment cancer (anti-tumor, anti-most cancers).
Three million folks in this nation now resort to DIY dentistry as a result of they can not afford to visit the dentist. I do know several older ladies who are suffering from things such as RA and Lupus, who I feel might experience some aid with medical marijuana.

New Theatre Venture
The Original Barn Revue
Slate Barn Arts
A new arts project began with this show in an 18th century barn at Sweffling near Saxmundham.
Richard and Prue Gibbons have given Slate Barn for a residential, rehearsal and theatre workshop space.
Their daughter Amy was prominent in this revue. She is remembered in Diss for reading Ethel Le Neve's autobiography for the museum's Crippen murder centenary.
She and some colleagues studied theatre in France; and you can see the influences.
The evening had: classical and swing music, comic songs, red nose comedy, slapstick, monologues, Theatre of the Absurd, conjuring and improvisation.
Clowns, so close in spirit to the Waiting for Godot tramps, provided much of the impetus.
Highlights include top piano playing by James Pearson and a soul version of Old MacDonald by Tamara Astor.
Another treat was a group improvisation with the audience deciding location (Timbuctoo), style (Martial Arts) and keywords (banana, Venus and Sweffling).

Warding Off Alzheimer's Disease
Genetics play a huge role in determining whether Alzheimer's will manifest, and while no one is my family has been diagnosed with Alzheimer's yet, my chances of being afflicted are still high.
Risk Factors
- Diabetes. My unchecked diabetes caused high glucose levels for decades. Studies now show that this causes sticky plaque build up in the brain.
- Mercury exposure. When I was a child, it was common practice to fill cavities with silver mercury. I had lots of fillings that stayed in my mouth until only recently in my late middle age.
- Regular consumption of foods stored in tin and aluminum. Canned food manufacturing during my parents' generation relied upon these materials that have been found to have adverse health effects.
- High meat and fat diet.
- Diet high in soy. In studies, the amount of soy tested for adverse effects equals to about one pound a day. This is far more than the average American but not so for the typical Asian. I happen to be Asian and I eat/ate a lot of tofu daily.
- Exposure to toxic pollution. China is experiencing skyrocketing rates of Alzheimer's and dementia in their elderly population. Scientists speculate that the dangerous levels of air pollution could be contributing to the cause. (Of course, I worry it's due to the high consumption of tofu.)
- Depression.
- Genetics. Alzheimer's and dementia run in families.
Except for the last, I have all the rest of the risk factors. Worse, I have been showing signs of cognitive decline.
Early Signs
- Foggy brain.
- Memory loss.
- Loss of reflex reaction and motor skills.
- Slow mental processing of language.
Most of the above signs can be attributed to the natural aging process but the interfere with daily living, it's something to be concerned about. A doctor can administer a quick screening to determine if the declines warrant treatment.
SAGE (Self Administered Gerocognitive Exam)
- SAGE - A Test to Measure Thinking Abilities
Visit this site to download and print out free self-administered tests. There are several versions of this test as well as foreign language translations of each.
Tests for Cognitive Decline
Here are a few typical questions on cognitive assessment tests.
- State your name, address and telephone number.
- What is today's date?
- Count backwards by 7s, starting at 100. This shouldn't require a lot of time to compute in one's head.
- Draw a round clock face with the numbers on them and put the hands at 10: 35.
- You are buying $13.45 of groceries. How much change would you receive back from a $20 bill?
- Repeat a list of five unrelated items that is given verbally five minutes earlier. Patient must be engaged in other conversation after the list is given verbally to him once and before he repeats it. (music, onion, airplane, country, ape)
For a free, more comprehensive self-administered exam, try SAGE (Self Administers Gerocognitive Exam). The link is to the right of this article.
Genetic counseling and Apo E
There are other tests for Alzheimer's, too. Apo E and genetic counseling can help identify the markers that indicate the presence of Alz.
What You Can Do to Prevent Alz
The good news is that you can ward off Alzheimer's disease even if you are genetically predisposed. Genetics account for only about 30 percent of your chances of developing cognitive decline; the rest is influenced by controllable factors.
First, avoid all of the aforementioned risk factors. In addition to that, here are some proven ways to improve your brain health:
- Keep blood sugar within normal ranges. If you have diabetes, manage it well.
- Exercise regularly. This keeps oxygen-rich blood flowing to your brain and helps remove some of the harmful plaque build-up.
- Keep learning. Push your brain with learning something new and playing brain health games.
- Be social. Isolation allows a person to sink into depression while socializing forces one to practice language processing skills. Having to respond to others, exchanging thoughts, works the brain.
- Manage other medical conditions. Take care of your overall well-being. If you must take medication, do so under the watchful eye of a doctor. Take prescribed dosages, note any negative effects.
- Eat a diet that promotes brain health. Some foods has been shown to keep the brain functioning well, and early results reveal some foods may actually reverse some effects of Alz.
Dr. Mary Newport's Coconut Oil Experiment
Coconut Oil Shown to REVERSE Alz Symptoms
Dr. Mary Newport experimented with coconut oil on her own husband who has Alzheimer's. Her results were startling and promising for the use of coconut oil to treat Alz.
Beneficial Coconut Oil
- Coconut Oil
Look for extra virgin, organic, non GMO, cold-pressed coconut oil. It is solid at room temperature but melts easily for use in salad dressing and baking. Dr. Mary Newport melted and stirred two tablespoons into her husband's bowl of morning oatmeal.
Foods that promote brain health
- Coconut oil.
- Olive oil.
- Omega 3 fatty acids. Found in flaxseed, beans, fish, avocados.
- Nuts. Brazil nuts, walnuts, almonds. Not peanuts.
- Seeds. Chia seeds especially.
- Green, leafy vegetables
- Berries and cherries.
- Dark chocolate.
- Tumeric.
- Coffee
"Let food by thy medicine." ~ Hippocrates
Dr.DanielAmen's List of Food that Cause Alz
Are you concerned about developing Alzheimer's?
What is your level of concern?
Should you be concerned?
Everyone should be concerned about brain health because the brain is in charge of all the body's operating systems. In addition, the brain is where the personality exists, and it is most difficult for loved ones to "lose" their Alz or dementia-afflicted family member.
Most of the depression brought on by this condition stems from the patient not being able to function as they once did. The frustrations mount when they cannot remember common things like the name of their spouse and even who they are.
A wise person is proactive and will not wait until signs of these diseases appear. Protect your brain now and ward off Alzheimer's and dementia while you can.
Preventing Alzheimer's from taking over is just one more thing people who have no access to healthcare in this county cannot do. If you don't have money or insurance, no doctor is going to help you until you get some money or insurance. That's how it works for poor people, but a lot of people in this country don't realize that, nor care.
They do realize it if and when they become poor and can't afford healthcare anymore, but then it's too late to change anything because no one cares what you think or what you're going through or going without once you are one of the poverty stricken.
A wonderful hub full of good advice for those people who can take advantage of it. I hope things will change so that everyone in this country will have the advantage of advice like this and medical care as needed one day.
I note that you have published 34 hubs, yet only a dozen or so are visible and available on your profile page to be read.
To correct that, go to your profile page. Click on "Edit Profile." Go to almost the bottom of that page where it says "Show only Featured Hubs on my profile:" Click on the 'NO' box and then all of your hubs will be visible again on your profile page.
I realize they have been idled, which is why they aren't showing, but that's no reason not to make them available for readers interested in them. After all your work of writing them, let people who wish to read them do so. The advertising remains on them, so benefit all you can from them even though they are not currently indexed by Google.
Wow! As a Certified Dementia Practitioner trained by Cindy Keith of Mind In Memory Care, I want to say I love your Hub post. I am new to sharing meaningful content on this format so I am learning a lot. Thank You Lori.

oatmeal has lots of carbs?? :-0 I hope it's the "nice" type of carbs cuz I eat a lot of oatmeal in the morning. :-) About the VCO, I just take 1 tbsp. daily, after breakfast or lunch. I agree, it's not exactly the most pleasant thing to eat, but I just get it over with and say to myself "this will help me in my long-term care and old age." hehe :) Hope to read more of your great hubs! Your welcome!
Very well written hub. Very helpful advice on aging and long-term care. I got particularly interested with how food/diet plays a big role in helping prevent Alzheimer's. The part on coconut oil was also very insightful. I've heard a lot about VCO as an aid to arthritis, so now there's another reason to take this oil :) Also want to share these list of power food that can also help in overall brain health. http://www.freeltcquotes.com/Top-6-Power-Foods-For...
