Lupus (Systemic Lupus Erythematosus or SLE)Lupus Symptoms and Signs
Symptoms of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE, often referred to as simply lupus) can be quite different, because there are different types of lupus, and not all affected people show the same symptoms.
General symptoms associated with lupus includelow-grade fever, loss of appetite, nausea, muscle aches, joint pains, fatigue.
More specific symptoms include skin changes (see below), ulcers of the mouth and nose, photosensitivity (sensitivity to sunlight), and decreased circulation to the fingers and toes with cold exposure.
Lupus is an autoimmune disease characterized by acute and chronic inflammation of various tissues of the body. Autoimmune diseases are illnesses that occur when the body's tissues are attacked by its own immune system. The immune system is a complex system within the body that is designed to fight infectious agents, such as bacteria and other foreign microbes. One of the ways that the immune system fights infections is by producing antibodies that bind to the microbes. People with lupus produce abnormal antibodies in their blood that target tissues within their own body rather than foreign infectious agents. These antibodies are referred to as autoantibodies.
Because the antibodies and accompanying cells of inflammation can affect tissues anywhere in the body, lupus has the potential to affect a variety of areas. Sometimes lupus can cause disease of the skin, heart, lungs, kidneys, joints, and/or nervous system. When only the skin is involved by rash, the condition is called lupus dermatitis or cutaneous lupus erythematosus. A form of lupus dermatitis that can be isolated to the skin, without internal disease, is called discoid lupus. When internal organs are involved, the condition is referred to as systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE).
Both discoid lupus and systemic lupus are more common in women than men (about eight times more common). The disease can affect all ages but most commonly begins from 20-45 years of age. Statistics demonstrate that lupus is somewhat more frequent in African Americans and people of Chinese and Japanese descent.

Why Save Arafat?
James Skillen
Just over a week ago, Israel's Prime Minister Ariel Sharon said that he no longer felt bound by a promise to the U.S. not to dispose of Yasser Arafat, head of the Palestinian Authority. President Bush's national security adviser, Condoleezza Rice, responded that the White House still opposed the killing of Arafat. But why?
President Bush believes that those who support terrorism are a threat to the U.S. and its allies. The president has not stood in the way of Israel's assassination of two Hamas leaders. Sharon is convinced that Arafat supports Hamas and other violent opponents of Israel. The Bush administration is intent on disposing of regimes like the Taliban and Saddam Hussein. Why not give Israel the green light to do away with Arafat or at least to send him into exile?
Does Rice's verbal assertion of respect for Arafat's life arise from the administration's regard for the Palestinians and their leadership, or is it the opposite? Neither Bush nor Sharon will deal with Arafat any longer and they have shunned and humiliated him. Israeli forces now have him pinned down in a small compound. Does the White House want to keep Arafat from death just so Israel's growing control of everything Palestinian can add to the humiliation?
Walter Russell Mead, hardly a liberal antagonist of President Bush, recently commented that after five weeks of travel through the Middle East, he had concluded that "the greatest single cause of anti-Americanism" in the region "is a widespread belief that the United States simply does not care about the rights or the needs of the Palestinian people." (New York Times, 4/21/04). Not surprising.
President Bush says he wants a democratic Palestinian state. He also hopes that having disposed of Saddam Hussein, Iraq might become a major wedge for freedom and democracy in the region. Yet for these things to happen, doesn't there have to be some sympathy among the people of the Middle East for what the U.S. is pushing? If the way to bring freedom to Palestinians is by getting rid of terrorists, why not dispose of Arafat? If, on the other hand, the way is to win some sympathy from the Palestinians, then why not do more to support them?
There is little evidence, for example, that the White House is giving encouragement to Palestinian leaders like Sari Nusseibeh, a Palestinian university president, who has joined with Israeli peace proponents like Ami Ayalon, a former top security official, in organizing the People's Campaign for Peace and Democracy. That campaign represents a joint Israeli-Palestinian negotiating strategy and is now drawing in other Palestinian political leaders who are calling for a peaceful Intifada to displace the violent one.
Last year, the U.S. joined with the European Union, Russia, and the U.N. to endorse a "road map" to an eventual Middle East peace settlement. Then, suddenly, in the middle of April, without consulting the other three partners or considering the Palestinians, the president endorsed an Israeli plan by Sharon to annex permanently some sizable, illegal, Israeli settlements in the West Bank and to remove Israeli settlers in Gaza sometime next year. Most of the deal violates 40 years of U.S. and international agreements. Senator, and presidential candidate, John Kerry, also endorsed the plan.
On April 27, following the Bush-Sharon meeting, 100 former British diplomats, hardly America's enemies, wrote to Prime Minister Tony Blair, to express dismay. The "new policies" announced by Bush and Sharon "are one-sided and illegal and...will cost yet more Israeli and Palestinian blood."
Do Bush and Kerry imagine that U.S. interests in freedom, democracy, peace, and oil can all be secured with only one Middle East ally amidst growing anti-Americanism both in and far beyond that region?

I learned several things over the past few days. First is that nurseries in this area have no clue what they're talking about when it comes to passiflora. Schumacher's Hill Country Gardens, which has a sterling reputation for native plants, seemed like a sure bet to get native p. incarnata, otherwise known as maypops. They had some passiflora, all right, but didn't know what species they were, where they'd come from, how they'd been propogated--nothing that would give me a clue as to their suitability for my needs. They only thing they could say was that they were "blue." I don't need any more p. incense, and p. carulea has poor fruit quality. So I took a pass. This experience was repeated at several other nurseries. Quite frustrating.
Despite my desire to support the area nurseries, I ended up buying a p. vitifolia (known as the crimson passionflower) at Home Depot. At least Home Depot identified their plants (although one labled as "Lavender Lady" could either have been p. amethyst, which I'd like, or the actual Lavender Lady, which is sterile, and I don't want. They're often confused, and without the actual species name on the plant...). The vitifolia may or may not survive here. It should overwinter without much problem, but it's originally from higher elevations of Central America, so the summer heat of Texas may prove too much. We shall water liberally and see if it survives.
Passion fruit are apparently out of season. I visited several grocery stores that have carried the fruit in the past, and none of them had any. Plenty of mangos, tho.
I eventually gave in to temptation and got some seeds off of eBay. Passiflora seeds are tempramental to grow if they're not very fresh, but at like $1.78 for two packets, I figure I can afford to take the risk. I've got some p. flavicarpa and p. edulis coming in the mail now. Flavicarpa is grown mostly in Africa, and makes a popular yellow fruit that is rarely seen in the U.S. but is sold commercially elsewhere. Edulis is the common purple passion fruit that is grown extensively in California and elsewhere. Both varieties should be able to handle the Texas climate--they don't like cold winters, so unless global warming suddenly reverses itself, they ought to make it through the brief, mild freezes we get in this area (heck, I've seen a bunch of bananna plants producing fruit these last couple of years). My in-laws (who gave us the p. incense to start with) tell me they've found a native maypop on their property outside of Bastrop, so the next time I'm out there I'm going to try and get a rooted cutting. Maypops will supposedly pollinate every variety I've got thus far, so that one's a good one to have--particularly since it is native and makes pretty good fruit.

Shares are suffering a fresh bout of market jitters as the European markets close for the day.
In London, the FTSE 100 share index tumbled 1.9% to end at 7,006 points. France's CAC 40 index slid 1.9% to 5,106, while Germany's DAX fell 1.48% to 11,539.
In a day of wild swings, the Dow Jones index was down 100 points at 25,498 – about 0.4% – although it had been down 350 points in mid morning.
The wider S&P 500 slid 0.65%.
The Nasdaq – which took the worst of Wednesday's declines – was mostly unchanged.
In Asian trading earlier, the Hang Seng index in Hong Kong had plunged to a 19-month low.
Japan's benchmark Nikkei 225 dropped 3.9%, its steepest daily drop since March. In China, the Shanghai Composite fell 5.2% to its lowest level since 2014.
Markets in Asia had followed US stocks, which made steep falls on Wednesday.
What's driving the declines?
US markets have performed better than expected this year, bouncing back after turmoil earlier in the year to set new records over the summer.
But the Federal Reserve is raising interest rates, with the latest hike coming last month, and more increases are likely to come.
The Fed last month abandoned its description of its policy as "accommodative", reflecting a view that the economy is strong enough not to need the kind of stimulus it received in the after-math of the financial crisis.
The prospect of dwindling US stimulus has been compounded by a trade war between the world's two largest economy – which the IMF has warned could harm growth.
Kim Gittleson, New York business correspondent
For traders who had got used to the seemingly inevitable march of US stock markets ever higher, Wednesday was a bit of a shock.
Here's just one reason why: the S&P 500 didn't record a single move up or down of more than 1% during the third quarter of 2018. That hasn't happened since 1963, according to LPL Financial.
So what led investors to head for the exit?
As ever, it's almost impossible to pinpoint one reason for the sell-off.
The consensus seems to be a combination of rising interest rates, tariffs and inflation led investors to worry that fourth-quarter earnings season, which begins on Friday, won't be as record-breaking as prior quarters.
But when it comes to one of those concerns – inflation – investors got to breathe a sigh of relief on Thursday.
Just before US markets opened, the September reading of the consumer price index showed that prices rose by just 0.1% during the month, below expectations.
After the release, the mood on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange was almost instantly lightened, as the lower-than-expected reading tempered concerns that the US Federal Reserve will be forced to increase interest rates at a faster pace than expected.
The question is if calm will once more prevail on Wall Street – or if Wednesday's dip was a harbinger of a turbulent earnings season to come.
Trump attacks 'crazy' Fed
The US stock market declines have prompted US President Donald Trump to renew his attacks on the Federal Reserve for its decision to raise interest rates.
He told the Fox News channel the Fed's policy was "too aggressive" and that it was "making a big mistake".
On Wednesday, he said the Fed had "gone crazy", prompting a response from International Monetary Fund head Christine Lagarde, who said she "would not associate" Fed chair Jerome Powell "with craziness".
Analyst Michael Hewson of CMC Markets also said it was "too simplistic to blame the Federal Reserve" for market turmoil.
"There are a number of factors," he told the BBC. "Obviously, concerns about slowing growth – the IMF downgraded its global growth forecast for the global economy, citing emerging market concerns."

How to Read a South Carolina Accident Report
In the weeks after a car accident, the responding officer will write an accident report and submit it to the SCDMV. You can request a copy of the official police report for a car accident here. Once you get this report, here are some of the most important things to check or verify:
Side 1
Located at the top of the first page, this section will list the names, along with the contact information and vehicle information, for each involved driver. This section can also include details related to:
- Whether a specific driver contributed to the accident
- Whether a specific driver is suspected to have been impaired (drunk or drugged) at the time of the accident
- Whether a driver was speeding
- Any other driver-related factors that may have played a role in causing a crash.
Mid-way down the first page is a small section that will list the estimated property damage incurred for each vehicle involved in the accident.
Also mid-way down the first page (to the left of the property damage estimate section) will be a sketch of what is believed to have occurred when the accident happened. Check this part out carefully to make sure no details are wrong here.
At the very bottom of the first page is where the witness(es)' name(s) and contact information will be (if there were any witnesses to the wreck).
Side 2
At the top of the second page of the police report will be a section with details regarding the injuries sustained by each involved driver (and passenger, pedestrian, etc.). Additional details, such as the following, can also be included here:
- Whether a specific party was wearing a seatbelt
- Whether airbags deployed
- Whether anyone was thrown from a vehicle.
Underneath the above section (around the middle of the second page) is where there will be details regarding how the accident occurred. This section can include information about what happened immediately before the crash, the type of crash (e.g., rear-end collision, left-hand turn crash, etc.), and the point(s) of impact associated with the wreck. This is also where chemical test results (to see if a driver was drunk or drugged) will be noted (if this testing was done).
At the bottom of the second page is where details about the road and weather conditions will be. This is also where officers will note the contributing factors to the crash (based on the findings of their investigation).
If you would like professional help making sense of your car accident report – or if you have any questions about it, call (803) 929-3600 or contact us online.

I cannot think of many who had the same depth of insight and breadth of interest as David Hume, and his accounting of history and its relation to the sciences remains apposite. Consider his well known, and still controversial, declaration of the study of history in An Inquiry
Mankind are so much the same, in all times and places, that history informs us of nothing new or strange in this particular. Its chief use is only to discover the constant and universal principles of human nature, by showing men in all varieties of circumstances and situations, and furnishing us with materials from which we may form our observations and become acquainted with the regular springs of human action and behaviour. These records of wars, intrigues, factions, and revolutions, are so many collections of experiments, by which the politician or moral philosopher fixes the principles of his science, in the same manner as the physician or natural philosopher becomes acquainted with the nature of plants, minerals, and other external objects, by the experiments which he forms concerning them
This view also underpins his Of The Study of History, whom he, oddly for us, addressed specifically to women, for there he writes
There is nothing which I would recommend more earnestly to my female readers than the study of history, as an occupation, of all others, the best suited both to their sex and education, much more instructive than their ordinary books of amusement, and more entertaining than those serious compositions, which are usually to be found in their closets. Among other important truths, which they may learn from history, they may be informed of two particulars, the knowledge of which may contribute very much to their quiet and repose. That our sex, as well as theirs, are far from being such perfect creatures as they are apt to imagine, and that Love is not the only passion which governs the male world, but is often overcome by avarice, ambition, vanity, and a thousand other passions
There is also an advantage in that experience, which is acquired by history, above what is learned by the practice of the world, that it brings us acquainted with human affairs, without diminishing in the least from the most delicate sentiments of virtue. And to tell the truth, I know not any study or occupation so unexceptionable as history in this particular
Hume's elevation of the passions over and above reason, contra the usual way we like to conceive of ourselves, is of the first importance here. One can, moreover, discern a disagreement between Hume and Chomsky, for the latter has often argued that perhaps the deeper veins separable for further study of the well springs of human nature are to be unearthed through literature. Hume held that history should be accorded this status, in "Of the Study" explicitly addressing the claims of literature, for at least history can have some empirical grounding.
I should think that David Hume had the better of Noam Chomsky here, and I think that Hume makes an especially powerful observation.
History, of course, is a part of the humanities of which literature, the dramatic arts and so on are also. The humanities, as we know, are one of the, many, victims of the neoliberal order. Our universities increasingly function as profit generating enterprises less concerned with the love of wisdom and more concerned with churning vocationally oriented graduates for the corporate form.
Many, such as Martha Nussbaum, have rightly argued that this diminishes society and strikes against the very purpose of a liberal education in a democratic society. It is interesting to observe that a degrading of the humanities in the academy is a feature of authoritarian societies, and we see here in microcosm how neoliberalism functions as a power driven dynamic of reaction and reassertion unfolded in response to the year 1968.
But we also see something deeper still. What we call the humanities has been central to human life, to borrow from Hume, in all times and all places and so its diminishing in a society demonstrates that the social order fundamentally confronts the natural texture and fibre of human beings. That it is contrary to human nature. I can only speak for myself, but I get a sense that students are increasingly aware of this and reacting against, this, in many and not just the most obvious, ways. For example, the relative lack of engagement, I would argue, is reflective of an understanding that university life is a contractual arrangement rather than a devotion to the attainment of understanding. That is not the manner in we usually are led to conceive of a market based neoliberal society, for we are led to believe that it is reflective of human nature. Indeed, unlike with any society in history, a neoliberal market driven order is a, indeed the, natural order.
That affairs are the exact opposite of this is attested by the vast public relations industry whose role, from cradle to grave, is ubiquitous to the neoliberal order and one of whose central tasks is to perpetually construct and reconstruct the acquisitive and utilitarian self.
Though that is all true, it is not really my motivation for writing. The status of the humanities has also been a feature of debate within intellectual society, most especially with regard to the social sciences. On one side we, roughly, have the humanities such as history, philosophy, literature and the like and political science, economics, sociology and so on. A good example of this is the controversy over the perestroika movement in the political sciences. The social sciences attribute to the humanities a certain wishy washiness whereas the social sciences exhibit theoretical rigour through model building and quantitative methods.
David Hume, often regarded as the arch empiricist, falsely in my view, and the bedrock of logical positivist thought, again falsely in my view, from which this temper among the social sciences derives would surely not agree. At any rate, I hold we ought not interpret him as so agreeing.
When you study history, for example, you really do get a feel for human nature. It is not that you just learn about a place, a time, or an affair. You really learn something about human nature, and as such history is a type, I submit, of naturalistic inquiry. When you study the politics of a time and place as the historian does you so much more about politics among human than you ever shall from linear programming. The humanities make much more for naturalistic inquiry than political science or economics despite the dependent and independent variables, the variant, invariant and covariant, and the theorems, proofs, and lemmas.
This latter are all done to discern some causal relationships in the pattern of social interactions, processes, and structures, perhaps even the full fledged development of laws following upon the discernment and establishment of causality.
The social sciences develop their conceit upon a false premise, namely that the sciences, naturalistic inquiries if you will, are characterised by their methodology. Science is not characterised by its many and varied approaches to methodology, much less the one and central "scientific method." Consider for instance the profound way that Ernst Mayr contrasts the assumptions and methodologies of the physical and biological sciences.
Science is characterised by its results. In the social domain those results, I would regard, are theoretically ambiguous which is not the same as saying they do not provide understanding of the contextual and contingent. Nothing exists in the social sciences anywhere near as comparable as classical mechanics, say, or Maxwell's laws, or the modern evolutionary synthesis, the chemical bond and so on. The reason for this should be clear enough. No such laws are to be found. Sui generis laws do not govern capitalism apart from historical context, for example, nor representative democracy, international conflict, nuclear non-proliferation, nor any other social system or matter of social concern that one can think of.
The fundamental, necessary, basis of human social affairs, as Hume informed us, is to be found in human nature and it is the humanities, especially history, that provides insight into how human nature is translated into social conduct within context. That is as close as we have, thus gar, gotten to naturalistic inquiry in what Hume would have called the moral sciences.
Consider economics. One surely cannot seriously believe that the use of topological methods to reinforce traditional, though wholly false, verities about general equilibrium carries more scientific weight than, for example, Keynes' more revolutionary insights in The General Theory themselves developed upon an analysis of "the animal spirits" which is to say human nature?
The question is not even rhetorical, for those inured to general equilibrium theory did not, for they could not, foresee something like the global economic crisis as a possibility whereas those more accustomed to the animal spirits could, and did, see the tsunami long before it made shore.
If judged by method then one might regard the former as science, but if by result surely we must regard the latter to be more the scientific.
I think we could make this even stronger still. For history to be a type of naturalistic inquiry it ought to tell us something about science itself, perhaps even more profound than the philosophy of science. It is not hard to imagine Hume being more favourably disposed to the history of science rather than the philosophy of science. Peirce had argued that a faculty of abduction, wrongly attributed by most interpreters as inference to the best explanation, underpins science. When one studies the history of science one is struck by the recurring hypotheses that come to the mind of men and women of science, furthermore one is struck by the permissible hypotheses framed at a certain moment, based on a certain intellectual heritage, access to certain information, the possibility of attainable experiments given the state of understanding and technology, and the manner in which science settles upon one hypothesis over another.
To study the history of science in a way Hume perhaps would have is to look for the bounds of humanly permissible or attainable hypotheses, and to see this as providing a window into the cognitive basis of the scientific enterprise. We may drop the qualifier, "perhaps", when we consider another of Hume's justly famous refrains
The science of man is the only solid foundation for the other sciences. [All the other sciences] have a relation, greater or lesser, to human nature. 'Tis impossible to tell what changes and improvements we might make in these sciences were we thoroughly acquainted with the extent and force of human understanding, and could explain the nature of the ideas we employ, and of the operations we perform in our reason
Something similar was stated by Steven Weinberg in an article on "the trouble" with quantum mechanics
Thus the instrumentalist approach turns its back on a vision that became possible after Darwin, of a world governed by impersonal physical laws that control human behavior along with everything else. It is not that we object to thinking about humans. Rather, we want to understand the relation of humans to nature, not just assuming the character of this relation by incorporating it in what we suppose are nature's fundamental laws, but rather by deduction from laws that make no explicit reference to humans. We may in the end have to give up this goal, but I think not yet
We see in quantum mechanics not just scientific inquiry into the nature of the physical world but an intimation of scientific inquiry into our relationship with the physical world, which one might want to regard as another of the traditional domains of the humanities. We may yet see the day when the humanities become physics and physics becomes the humanities. The social sciences, by contrast, one can be rest assured will neither be here nor there.

Hello, I will be arriving in Geneva on September 21st at around 22:00. The next day I will be heading towards the Berner Oberland and will be returning to Geneva on September 24th. I am hoping to purchase and use a 3 day swiss pass from the 22nd to the 25th. I was planning on picking up my swiss pass at the geneva airport but was wondering if this would make the 21st my first day using the pass and then would not be able to use it on the 24th. Would I be able to have it validated at Geneva but then not activated until the next day? Or is there a better place to pick up my pass? Would it be too late to have it delivered to me ahead of time?
Hi Blechlerm, and welcome to MySwissAlps!
If you want to buy it in person, be sure to ask for a Swiss Travel Pass. A Swiss Pass is something different for Swiss residents. You can buy a Swiss Travel Pass at any staffed train station, including the airport, but the ticket desk will be closed by the time you get there. It is much easier to print your pass at home and skip the ticket desk, with a possible queue, entirely.
You'll find all purchase options at www.myswissalps.com/sw isstravelpass/price. I'd recommend to go to www.swissrailways.com/ en, click to the Swiss Travel Pass, and fill out passenger details and the start date (September 22). After filling out your address, they will show the delivery options. Pick "Online Ticket" from the bottom of the list. They will e-mail the pass within 1-3 business days, but often within hours.
Note that a 3-day pass starting on September 22 does not include September 25. You need a 4-day pass for that.
Enjoy your trip!
Thank you very much for the info!! I really appreciate it.
Planning your trip is much easier with a free MySwissAlps account. Learn all about Switzerland and get in touch with us quickly if you have questions.

Yes, yes I know I promised to let you in on my fantabulous night last weekend, I haven't forgotten about it yet! I have just been waiting for the spectacular pictures to arrive…
Plus, today's manicure is of way more interest anyways, right? 🙂
I adore this colour.
This colour makes me happy.
It reminds me of Summers at the beach, flowers growing wild, white dresses swaying in the wind…
And yes, it is yet another Essie nail polish….
And it is called Mint Candy Apple.
Would you eat a mint candy apple?
The flavour combination sounds rather peculiar to me… but to each their own, eh?
This is a beautiful pastel blueish green… the it-color of most Springs
The color is strong and the polish covers the nail in a very thick coat. As always I am more than pleased with how quickly and easily it is to apply… even if my manicure is far from perfect (I blame my impatience and lack of time to let it dry…definitely need to go get my nails done sometime soon!)
Happy Monday!
With attitude and nail polish, Anoushé xoxox

Follow the Speed Limit
Did you know you can get better fuel efficiency by following the speed limit?
- Assuming half of your driving is on the highway and the other half on city streets, by reducing your top highway speed from 70mph to 65mph you can save 2,230 lbs a year off of your carbon footprint. Not to mention increasing your fuel economy, this saves money on gas, approximately $225 a year, and natural resources.
Combine Errands
Cold engine start ups use twice as much fuel and pollute twice as much. That quick one-mile trip to the dry cleaners can pollute up to 70 percent as much as a ten-mile excursion with several stops. Combine short trips into one multipurpose trip with a warm engine and you will save on fuel and pollute less. (Source DriveClean.ca.gov).
- Trip linking is easy:
• Keep a running list of errands you need to do
• Try to match items on your list that are located near each other
• For example, if your child's school is located near your dry cleaner and post office, three trips could be linked together into one
• Give yourself enough time and plan ahead
• Think before you drive: "Do I really need to make this trip?" and "How can I combine this errand with another trip I'll be making this week?"
Maintain Your Vehicle
Maintenance issues will come up eventually with any car. Maintaining your car not only saves you money at the pump and helps cool the climate by reducing pollution, but keeping your air filters fresh can also help maintain good air quality inside your car.
By keeping your tires properly inflated and changing air filters regularly, you can reduce your carbon footprint by 1,700 lbs a year, depending on your fuel efficiency.
Report a smoking vehicle. They can contribute up to 15 times more air pollution than well-tuned vehicles. To report a smoking vehicle, you may submit a Complaint Form for Smoking Vehicles to the Air Resources Board.

For the first time in 70 years, Toys "R" Us won't be a destination for holiday shoppers. After a long and unsuccessful battle trying to fend off e-commerce behemoths, the retailer filed for bankruptcy protection in late 2017. In March 2018, Toys "R" Us began its liquidation sales across the country.
When it filed for bankruptcy, Toys "R" Us ceased operations and eliminated 30,000 jobs across some 800 stores, according to Challenger, Gray & Christmas, an outplacement firm in Chicago. An additional 1,100 jobs were cut at the company's headquarters in Wayne, N.J.
'The Toys 'R' Us name has been basically destroyed'
While consumers have lamented the loss of Toys "R" Us, billionaire toymaker Isaac Larian is downright bitter.
Larian, the founder and CEO of the world's largest private toy company, MGA Entertainment, had submitted a $675 million bid for Toys "R" Us stores in the U.S. on April 13. After failing to reach an agreement, Larian offered a separate $215 million offer for 82 Canadian stores, which was also rejected. MGA Entertainment makes toys like Bratz dolls and Little Tikes.
"The Toys 'R' us name has basically been destroyed and has zero value now … You can come up with another store tomorrow and call it 'Toys Were Us' or 'Toybox' or whatever and just build on it," he told Yahoo Finance in an interview.
Still, he acknowledges the gaping hole that the famed toy store left behind.
Retailers are desperately trying to recoup losses from Toys "R" Us. Walmart (WMT) ramped up toy offerings by 30% in stores and 40% online, even debuting a 'digital playground' for kids to interact with toys on the web. Target (TGT) added a quarter million square feet of space solely dedicated to toys across 500 Target Stores earlier this month, offering more than 2,500 new and exclusive toys this year. Amazon (AMZN) released its first toy catalog, so as not to be outdone by its brick-and-mortar counterparts.
"I don't think frankly anybody is going to be able to cover what Toys 'R' Us lost … Other retailers are not going to keep the inventory. I think Amazon and Target are going to really get a lion's share of that business because they're poised to do so, but overall, I don't think anybody's going to recover from Toys 'R' Us' loss," said Larian.
The landscape for retail: holiday hiring a bright spot
Toys "R" Us is far from the only casualty in the retail apocalypse. Sixteen retailers, including Sears, David's Bridal, Nine West, Brookstone, Claire's, Mattress Firm and Bon-Ton, have filed for bankruptcy in 2018 alone.
Amid these closures and their subsequent layoffs, Challenger has tracked 714,000 holiday hiring announcements, the highest number since the firm began tracking announcements in 2012. Traditional retailers have been responsible for 427,000 of those positions. Meanwhile, Amazon slowed down holiday hiring for the first time in six years.
"Like many industries this year, retail is responding to changing consumer demands and the implementation of new technologies that are disrupting how, where, and when consumers purchase goods and services," said Andrew Challenger, vice president at Challenger, Gray & Christmas.
"As a major industry, employing tens of thousands across the country, the potential loss of jobs will be significant. However, the new technologies implemented during this period across the industry could lead to an influx of jobs that require a higher level of skills, meaning those positions may demand higher wages and better benefits," he added.

I feel such as there are only 2 kinds of designers: those with extreme OCD and those together with slightly less than extreme OCD. It may not look like a big deal, being able to do a simple command in order to rename the layer or even group makes it seem foolish if you don't take action. Cmd+r makes the title of no matter what layer/group you have chosen in the level palette editable so that you can quickly rename it. What's great too is that you can strike TAB to visit the the next layer beneath it plus it becomes editable so that you can rename. Also, whatever level you have selected in the level palette will be highlighted with a light azure outline within your canvas so you know exactly what you're renaming.
There may be rare cases when you would like separate SVG elements for your fill and edge, but individuals can easily be well prepared as Two layers prior to export. More often than not you just would like your SVG graphic to look identical to the Sketch design and also have the smallest file size possible.
Inside Photoshop, a predicament often happens to me where I make a selection of a layer on the canvas together with cmd+click (and lug) and in some way I've furthermore selected a coating that isn't visible, usually as a result of it being masked. Sketch to html conversion My partner and i move the layer I want about, or move its position in the layer palette, and I've unintentionally transferred another coating, which I may well not notice straight away, so it swiftly gets untidy.
I've been beta-testing Sketch 43 for the past couple weeks, exporting a lot of SVGs, and this brand new feature has been working well. In one design My partner and i noticed an uncommon bug, in which a recreated SVG route from some other border acquired an extra vector level but that had been easy to work around and the Sketch staff is aware of the bug.
In reality, this is a really minor issue and correcting it is completely optionally available. Your SVG can have up easily either way. And it's really not theoretically a bug I've discussed all of this with the Sketch staff, and they've decided to stick with their particular approach for right now. My recommendations are an optimization for individuals that want perfect visuals as well as smaller record sizes.
The reason why everything is therefore crystal clear in Sketch is because it really is vector-based like Adobe photoshop, but in many cases in Photo shop your designs and their positions don't drop on an exact pixel. This is why, whenever you bring symbols from Illustrator to Illustrator, they can seem a little feathered around the edges.

Garlic workshop at the Boise Co-op
Boise Co-op will host a free green garlic workshop on Tuesday, May 23, from 6 to 7 p.m., in the classroom at its store at The Village at Meridian, 2350 N. Eagle Road.
Justin Moore, the fiddle-playing farmer from Fiddler's Green Farm in Boise, will be on hand to show people the splendor of working with green garlic, otherwise known as spring garlic. Green garlic bulbs possess a mild, mellow flavor compared to fully mature bulbs, which get harvested a few months from now. Moore will be handing out recipes as well.
"Participants will get to taste green garlic and learn how versatile and delicious it is," says Mo Valko, Boise Co-op's marketing manager.
You can purchase green garlic from Fiddler's Green Farm at the Boise and Meridian Co-op locations and 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturdays at Moore's booth at the Boise Farmers Market (you might even hear him rip a hoedown on his fiddle).
The Boise Co-op is always looking for new ways to connect shoppers with area food producers throughout the year. "This is part of a new, free monthly farm workshop series that we are hosting," Valko says.

"Cleaning out my wisdom teeth, I found a diamond in my gumsCleaning out my kitchen found a spoon that plays the drums" Adam Green
Cleaning out my email the other day, I found an amazing song.
Well, I wouldn't call it cleaning out. I'd say, randomly dipping in the mass of unanswered communique that has grown up around me. I have no idea how to address it at all. So, when I am not mixing or rapping or crying or whatever, I'll dip in, and see what I find. The other day, like I said, I found a song. It was by my old friend Madison. What an ace song it was! So ace it was, I forgot what I was doing, and remixed it on the spot. Then I sent it to her. Madison liked it a lot, and today sent me another ace song with a gap in it that needs a rap, so I am going to fill that gap, oh yes I am.
Madison also noted that a guy that does her production told her he'd emailed me some beats a year or so ago, and I never replied.
I searched his name in my mail, and, true, last November he sent me two beats. I downloaded one, and have had it on repeat since. Its the best thing I've heard in ages! What a monster! It seems to have invented its own genre, or something. How weird that it has been sat at the bottom of my inbox for nearly a year, waiting for me. How weird to think of all the other treasures, waiting to be found. One could go quite mad considering such a thing.
Thing is, I don't think there is any such thing as coincidence. When you're going to phone me, usually I know. If you're about to ring my doorbell, I can tell. That's how it is now. So, whatever treasures are buried in my box, I'm gonna stop stressing about them. I only have so much brain space. If I need to, I'll bet my last shiny penny I'll find them somehow. Maybe not today. Maybe not tomorrow. But soon... enough.

EFMP manager seeks increase in participation
The Fort Gordon Exceptional Family Member Program has nearly 800 members, but absence at events might lead one to believe the number is much smaller.
Dr. Barbara Brown, EFMP manager, is turning to the Fort Gordon community in hopes of maximizing participation.
"I'm trying to build a database so that we can reach out to all of our families because we want to hear what they want to see," Brown said. "We want to serve you, we want to be your support, and we want to be your advocate for you."
Brown recently took over as EFMP manager after serving the Fort Gordon community for several years as part of the Financial Readiness team. Serving the military community is a passion for Brown that she plans to grow.
"That's always been my heart," Brown said. "We're here at Fort Gordon to serve."
EFMP is a mandatory enrollment program for active duty Servicemembers who have dependent family members with ongoing medical, mental health, or special educational needs. The program works with military and civilian agencies to provide "a comprehensive, coordinated, multi-agency approach for community support, housing, medical, educational, and personnel services" to those families.
Families enrolled in EFMP become eligible for an array of services, at little to zero cost, including respite care, ABA therapy, programs such as Babies Can't Wait, Champions for Adversity, Easter Seals, and much more. Another benefit of enrollment is the option of having an advocate. EFMP staff can accompany parents to meetings that involve their child's individualized education program in school and help navigate resources available to them.
"If you're concerned with those, come see us and we will sit down with you," Brown said. "If you need a support system, come in and get help."
Recreational activities and seminars exclusive to EFMP families are another important piece of the program. But their success is partly dependent on participation. Up until recently, EFMP hosted support groups twice a month. Due to low participation, support groups will be held quarterly.
"Until we can get an adequate assessment done, this is what we're going to have to do," Brown said.
Future recreational events include swimming, bowling, and information seminars. The events are intended to educate and have fun in a safe, carefree environment.
They also allow families to network with others who may be going through the same or similar struggles.
"We have families that are feeling overwhelmed, and they just need a little reprieve time," Brown said. Connect with other families and know that you're not alone."
Brown emphasized that she wants to hear from families so that she can better serve them. To contact Brown, call (706) 791-1918 or email email@example.com.
"My goal is to reach out to our families and be their support system," Brown said.
Upcoming events
• Diabetes Awareness Month – March 13, 5-6 p.m., at the Family Outreach Center.
• EFMP Summer Camp Information Fair – March 20, 9 a.m. to 2 p.m., in Darling Hall, Room 188.
• EFMP Quarterly Support Group – Topic: Autism. April 10, 9-10:30 a.m., at the FOC.
• EFMP Family Bowling – June 11, 6:30-8:30 p.m., Fort Gordon Bowling.
• EFMP Family Pool Party – July 21, 5-7 p.m., at the Fort Gordon Indoor Pool

Cooperative Education and Internships
Cooperative Education
Cooperative education is an academic program for undergraduate and graduate students who wish to combine classroom studies with academically related paid employment. Cooperative education provides students work-based learning opportunities both locally and nationally.
By using off-campus resources and expertise, cooperative education provides opportunities for students in business, government, industry and social agencies. Programs are designed to enable students to work directly with professionals in their field while expanding upon knowledge learned in the classroom.
Students hired in cooperative education positions must enroll in specially designated co-op courses and work with a faculty advisor from within the appropriate department. Each position is assessed by the career development specialist and/or faculty advisor for its potential to provide learning experiences relevant to the student's professional and educational goals.
Cooperative education offers both alternating and parallel positions. Students who select the alternating option must complete a semester of full-time enrollment in coursework before entering a second alternating position. Alternating positions carry the status of full-time students.
Students selecting the parallel option are required to carry a minimum of 6 credit hours of coursework in addition to their co-op course. Students may enroll in parallel co-op positions during consecutive semesters.
Requirements for co-op participation vary within the different colleges and departments. Requirements for admission to the co-op program generally include completion of 24 credit hours, with 9 of these credit hours completed in the student's major, and satisfactory academic standing. Interested students should come to the Career Development Center, located in Brennan Hall III, at the corner of 17th Street and Yale Avenue. The telephone number is 316-978-3688. Students may attend a Cooperative Education and Internship workshop in person or online (http://wichita.edu/coopworkshop), prepare a resume, and meet with the career development specialist for their college.
Wichita State University's location in Wichita has allowed it to form strong relationships with public, private and nonprofit organizations that offer a variety of internship opportunities. These positions are an invaluable way for WSU students to gain professional experience to complement the strong academic fundamentals they learn in the classroom. Through the Career Development Center, students have an opportunity to earn academic credit for an internship, or enroll in zero credit and have an internship recognized on their academic transcript.
Students who choose academic credit, enroll in designated internship courses and work with a faculty advisor from an appropriate department. Academic credit is earned after completing all project requirements assigned by the advisor. Students who enroll in zero credit internships have their internship recognized on their official academic transcript through a transcript notation (no tuition is paid). A transcript notation is earned after completing the zero credit program requirements. Additional information may be found on the Cooperative Education and Internship webpage (http://wichita.edu/coop). Not all departments participate in zero credit internships and not all students are eligible to enroll in zero credit, please refer view requirements at http://wichita.edu/coop.
Requirements for internships vary within different colleges and departments and for various employers. The requirements for participation in an academic or zero credit internship include completion of 24 credit hours, with 9 of these credit hours completed in the student's major, and satisfactory academic standing. Students enrolled in academic or zero credit internships in fall and spring are required to carry a minimum of 6 credit hours of coursework in addition to their internship course.
Interested students should come to the Career Development Center, Brennan Hall III, or call 316-978-3688, or take an online workshop at http://wichita.edu/coopworkshop. After the workshop students will meet with a career specialist.

China just banned the export of all diesel fuel from the country, according to the Financial Times.
The move comes in advance of the high-demand summer season and recent protests in the county against rising fuel prices. It's the second such move by a BRIC nation, with Russia banning gasoline exports through prohibitive export taxes in recent weeks.
But China doesn't just consume its own diesel, it also ships some to markets like Vietnam, Japan, the U.S., France, and Singapore.
Japan in the wake of the Fukushima and tsunami disasters, has seen its production decline as well.
With the threat of summer power outages looming, the big worry now is that Chinese demand may come in higher than expected, with the IEA saying the country may add 200,000 - 300,000 barrels a day to global demand.

Curious figures on bas-relief, [Brihadishvara Temple], Tanjore.
Photographer: Unknown
Medium: Photographic print
Date: 1860
Photograph of carvings on the vimana or tower of the Brihadishvara Temple, Tanjore, from the Album of Miscellaneous views in India,1860s. The Brihadishvara Temple built by the Chola king Rajaraja around 1010, is a monumental temple standing in the middle of a large courtyard surrounded by smaller shrines. To the east, a monolithic Nandi is sheltered in a 16th century pavilion. On the north-west of the main shrine, there is a temple dedicated to Subrahmanya dating to the 17th century. The temple is entered through the east by two gateways. The tall pyramidal tower over the sanctuary reaches 70 metres and consists of diminishing storeys culminating in the octagonal domed roof and the golden pot finial. It is covered with miniature edifices and figure sculptures that symbolise the cosmic manifestation. This is a close view of carved figures at base of the west facade of the vimana of the Brihadishvara Temple.
