Underrated in America: Local hardware stores
The Lowe's in our neighborhood is actually closer by a few hundred feet, and the Home Depot is only a five minute drive away, but while we spend a lot of time and money in those big box stores, we still trundle down to the local hardware store when we need something because it's convenient, friendly and the staff is helpful. No, it's not where we bought our tile to renovate our bathroom, or where we bought our cabinets. But it is where we get our keys made (the Lowe's never has anyone staffing the key stand), and where we pick up paint brushes, herbs for the garden and things like weatherstripping and drill bits.
Don't miss the rest of our series on Underrated In America!
Local hardware stores are, of course, in trouble. Entrepreneur's statistic show that there were nearly 27,000 hardware stores in 2007, but most of the revenue is generated by the giant companies. Businesses with less than 20 employees -- or about 25,500 of the total -- only accounted for 0.0025% of the revenue. The bulk of the money, some $350 million, was generated by just 20 business with 250-plus employees.
When Lowe's moved down the street about five years ago, I feared for Mazzone's, thinking that people would just go a few more feet to bargain shop in a huge store that would seem to have everything a fixer-upper could need. But therein lies the problem: When you are looking for one specific thing, going into a big store is annoying. When you need, say, three feet of quarter-inch plastic tubing to affix to the bottom of your air conditioner so it doesn't drip on your head, you want to just run in and grab it. And have a nice guy, like Louie, remind you that you'll need some kind of funnel (which he'll hand to you), and some waterproof tape. You can be in and out of the store in five minutes, rather than roaming the aisles forever, trying to find assistance and then waiting at the check-out at the chain store.
Mazzone's is surviving for now, even thriving, thanks to good service. This year's Pumpkinfest, when the store spills out onto the sidewalk and has free food and activities for kids, was a major neighbohood event. The side yard is loaded with fresh flowers and plants for sale and you see a lot of people wandering around with the store's white-and-red bags. It has turned itself into a friendly neighborhood fixture, winning people over with its charm -- so much so that it's become a field trip for the neighborhood preschool. There's no way Lowe's and Home Depot can match that.

Mentally Ill Violence in Nursing Homes?
In yet another example of sensationalism posing as legitimate journalism, the Associated Press's Carla K. Johnson penned an article over the weekend calling people with mental illness who live in nursing homes a "threat." What kind of threat? Well, according to the article, it appears to be the usual one, drawing an unscientific and unsupported link between mental illness and violence:
Over the past several years, nursing homes have become dumping grounds for young and middle-age people with mental illness, according to Associated Press interviews and an analysis of data from all 50 states. And that has proved a prescription for violence, as Jackson's case and others across the country illustrate.
Younger, stronger residents with schizophrenia, depression or bipolar disorder are living beside frail senior citizens, and sometimes taking their rage out on them.
Wow, that sounds like a serious problem. So let's look at the new scientific data the AP is reporting on to back up this assertion:
Numbers obtained through the Freedom of Information Act and prepared exclusively for the AP by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services show nearly 125,000 young and middle-aged adults with serious mental illness lived in U.S. nursing homes last year.
That was a 41 percent increase from 2002, when nursing homes housed nearly 89,000 mentally ill people ages 22 to 64. Most states saw increases, with Utah, Nevada, Missouri, Alabama and Texas showing the steepest climbs.
Ah, so this isn't new scientific evidence per se, just what researchers would call "data fishing" — fishing through datasets looking for interesting (but not necessarily significant) trends.
Since the AP provided none of the actual data (you know, like you might find in an actual research study), you have no way to determine whether a 41 percent increase over 6 years (7 percent annually) is significant or not. Were the previous years worse or better? Has anything changed in mental health benefits since 2002 that explains this increase? You don't know, because the article offers little information on these points.
So what data points does the AP offer to draw its conclusions? Oh yeah, four stories — 4 data points — out of those 125,000 people who live in nursing homes with a mental illness.
One of the cases describes a woman who had dementia — common in nursing homes — and multiple sclerosis, as well as depression. Hardly a strong example if you want to indict mental illness, as depression is a commonly-used, garden-variety diagnosis in nursing homes.
Another of the four cases describes a 62-year-old (hardly a "younger, stronger resident") who had no identified mental illness but was described only as "incompetent to stand trial." Well, that could be for a multitude of reasons, including dementia (again, something very commonly found in nursing home patients).
Even the lead example — a 50-year-old (again, this is a "younger, stronger" person?) — who was not identified with any particular mental illness but was identified with something that is strongly correlated with future violence risk — he had a history of aggression. Yes, this is no surprise. People with a past history of violence or aggressive behavior have a strong likelihood of future violent and aggressive behavior. It is, in fact, the only reliable and strongest predictor for future violence.
While indeed "nursing home dumping" might be a growing problem in the U.S., articles like this continue to do a disservice to the real story by indicting one population rather than the societal conditions that make such an option attractive. If society offered people with mental illness better treatment options than a nursing home, be certain they would take them in an instant.
With perhaps less finger-pointing toward the mentally ill (and especially these sensationalistic, unscientific links to violence), we as a society can find solutions to this kind of problem. Articles like this one by the Associated Press, however, do little to move us toward such solutions.

The Office of Personnel Management's Qualifications Standards Operating Manual establishes position qualification and education requirements. Under that manual, only degrees from an accredited college or university recognized by the Department of Education are acceptable to meet positive education requirements or to substitute for experience.
Information on qualifications standards is at www.opm.gov/policy-data-oversight/classification-qualifications and information on accredited schools is at https://ope.ed.gov/dapip/#/home.
Claiming a degree the individual knows to be bogus and attempting to obtain employment, promotion, training, special assignment, or other employment-related benefit can be deemed to be fraud. When the individual holds a security clearance, or a responsible position, such as a public trust position, where standards of trustworthiness and integrity are particularly high, agencies may consider whether that person should continue to hold a security clearance or remain in the position even when the bogus degree claimed was not material in the initial employment decision.
In addition, student loan repayments are only allowable for tuition paid to colleges or universities accredited by a nationally recognized accrediting agency or association recognized by the Department of Education. Also, federal agencies may not pay for degree training at diploma mill institutions under 5 CFR 410.
Note: 5 U.S.C. 4101 allows agencies to fund individual training courses for employees that are provided by private vendors, including non-accredited institutions. Approval of such training requires participation by supervisors and human resources personnel. The training must be clearly job related and the provider must actually deliver the quality and quantity of training purchased.

Lab-grown hearts may soon save the lives of cardiovascular disease patients waiting for a heart transplant, thanks to research conducted at Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH). There are over 4,000 Americans currently waiting for a heart transplant, but there is a critical shortage of donors. Developing a lab-grown heart has long been a dream of researchers to supersede the need for viable donors. The team at MGH brought this dream closer to reality in a study published earlier this year in Circulation Research. The following explains how this research will benefit seniors, their Wallingford at-home caregivers, and others awaiting transplants.
How to Grow a Heart
The challenges of producing a lab-grown heart include building a scaffold for the heart, finding a viable supply of cardiac cells, and creating a supportive environment for the growth of cells on the scaffold. In this study, 73 hearts that weren't suitable for transplantation were cleaned with detergent. This stripped theses hearts of cardiac cells while preserving complex vascular structures on which a new heart could be grown. The hearts were stripped of cardiac cells to avoid triggering an immune response that may cause the recipient's body to reject the heart.
The researchers then used stem cells to grow cardiac tissue on the scaffold. Within two weeks, the lab-grown heart resembled a young but accurately structured heart. The team built a bioreactor to safely house the heart during its development. Finally, they applied electricity to the scaffold and the hearts actually began to beat in response.
Next Steps for Research
The team grew 500 million cells but an actual heart requires tens of billions according to Jacques Guyette, the study's lead author. However, a short-team benefit to heart patients is that the team's next project is drawing on this research to create partial heart implants grown from patients' stem cells. The next phase of research gives cause for physicians and Wallingford home care agencies to hope for a future where heart transplants will be available to those who need them.
Living with a heart condition can be difficult for seniors to handle alone. You can help your loved one maintain independence while managing his or her disease with help from Home Care Assistance of Wallingford. Not only do we provide flexible at-home care for seniors with cardiovascular disorders, but we also provide Alzheimer's, dementia, and post-stroke Wallingford home care to help seniors manage any disease in the comfort of home. Call (203) 444-8575 today to schedule a free consultation with a dedicated Care Manager.

I knew I had put on a few pounds over the last few months. My clothes haven't been fitting as well as they were when we first moved here. I call it, "lactation weight." You know, the Big Mac you eat because, after all, "you are eating for two." Or the extra helping of pie because you "want to make sure you're getting enough calories to keep up your milk supply."
Yeah. Uh-huh.
So it was with a little fear and trepidation that I stepped on the scale the other night while a couple of the kids were in the bathtub. I almost had a heart attack as the little line-thingamagig bolted far past where I expected it to land. Way far. Way. too. far.
Hmm…maybe someone messed with the adjustment dial.
I stepped off and let it reset, thinking it would land below zero. Nope. The line was pointing exactly to zero. I stepped back on.
Hmm…maybe the scale isn't resting flat on the ground. Maybe it's straddling the grout, and that's making it read wrong.
I stepped off and repositioned the scale squarely in the middle of the floor tile and stepped back on.
Oh my gosh! I have been watching way too much Food Network! I am huge! I weigh like I'm nine months pregnant! What am I going to do?????
Put down the baby.

Steve Hranilovic appointed as acting associate dean, academicJune 24, 2019
Steve Hranilovic, a professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, will be named acting associate dean, academic, on July 1, 2019.
Steve Hranilovic, professor of electrical and computer engineering and former acting associate dean, graduate studies, has been named acting associate dean, academic for a four-month term, or until the recommendation of the recommendation of the selection committee to identify an associate dean is approved. He succeeds Ken Coley who is moving to Western University as its dean of engineering.
"I am very pleased to welcome Steve Hranilovic to our leadership team," says Ishwar K. Puri, dean of engineering. "Steve brings a wealth of experience and enthusiasm to his role, which will help propel the Faculty forward in key initiatives already underway — from transformative curriculum changes to boosting experiential learning. He embraces a student-centred approach to leadership and will bring his positive energy to our undergraduate programs, clubs and teams, and The Pivot."
Hranilovic received his bachelor's degree from the University of Waterloo and master's and PhD degrees from the University of Toronto. His expertise is in communication algorithms, information theory and experimental implementations for optical channels, especially optical wireless channels.
He is a Professional Engineer licensed in Ontario and was awarded the Government of Ontario Early Researcher Award in 2006. In 2016, McMaster University conferred the title of University Scholar upon Hranilovic. He serves as an Editor for the IEEE Transactions on Communications for Optical Wireless Communications.
"The Faculty of Engineering is an exciting place," says Hranilovic. "Not only is it populated by world-renowned researchers and bright students, it has a tradition of risk-taking and an entrepreneurial spirit. These elements are the key ingredients that continue to drive innovation in our Faculty."
"Our most recent transformative initiative, The Pivot, seeks to better prepare our students by focusing on how students learn best, by emphasizing collaborative project-based environments and through independent experiential learning opportunities in education and research."

Julia's research addresses questions related to judgment, collaboration, and social influence using theories and methods from social psychology, organizational behavior, and behavioral decision-making. Although most of her studies are conducted in the laboratory, she is most interested in questions that have immediate "real world" implications. In addition to increasing our understanding of fundamental human behavior, this work is intended to have an impact on problems faced by managers, consumers, and policy-makers.
Julia's work to date has pursued three main topics of inquiry:
1. Shortcomings in collaborative judgement
2. Conflict & NEGOTIATION
3. the ROLE of questions in social interaction

Phantom in Westchester (not that one, the other one)Published: Thursday, September 27, 2018 By: Phillip Dorian Source: Scene On Stage
While some introductory background is a de facto requirement in a review of the "Phantom" musical that does not append "of the Opera" to its title, be advised upfront that the production at Westchester Broadway (Dinner) Theatre in Elmsford, NY is a top-notch staging of the one-word version of Gaston Leroux's serialized 1910 novel.
Following their Tony Award-winning "Nine," composer/lyricist Maury Yeston and librettist Arthur Kopit were working on a musical adaptation of Le Fantome de l'Opéra when news of Andrew Lloyd Webber's impending version stalled the team's financing efforts. Lloyd Webber's, of course, opened on Broadway in 1988 and is still running. Yeston/Kopit's lay dormant until 1991, when it was resurrected at Houston's Theatre Under the Stars. With the rights to the Broadway version restricted (maybe forever), Y/K's "Phantom" has become a staple in the Regional musical theater repertory. This is, in fact, Westchester's fourth mounting since 1992 of what Maury Yeston calls "the greatest hit never to be produced on Broadway." (The team's "Nine" is also widely staged, as are some of Kopit's award-winning plays. Yeston went on to compose "Grand Hotel" and "Titanic.")
Comparisons of the two versions are inescapable. Both take liberties; Lloyd Webber's skips over some incidents, while "Phantom" adds a major character to illuminate the Phantom's back-story, humanizing him, which either adds to the romance and intrigue or detracts from the other-worldliness. Take your pick. Musically, both are pop-operatic, but where Lloyd Webber's is sung-through, "Phantom" includes a significant amount of dialogue. The comparisons are hardly relevant, however; lavishly staged and costumed and beautifully sung by its leads and ensemble, WBT's "Phantom" stands very well on its own 58 feet (21 cast members and eight musicians).
Within the classic tale's mystique, Seidl and Billman make the unlikely Beauty/Beast romance quite believable. And in this version it is indeed a romance. His feelings for her are obsessive and hers for him are apprehensive, but their mutual attraction cannot be denied. Seidl's crystal-clear soprano and Billman's rich baritone match up vocally as well. Her "Melodies de Paris" and "Christine Obligato" are lovely and his "Where in the World" and "Without Your Music" are commanding. Their duets blend beautifully; a series of "Lessons" is especially well sung (and staged), bordering on playful. (Notably, Billman conveys the Phantom's emotions clearly, despite the three-quarter-cover face mask.)
The Phantom's father, a significant figure in this version, is played by James Van Treuren, whose narration of "The Story of Erik" illuminates the Phantom's origin as it is being enacted. An overly melodramatic tone weighs down the elongated concluding scenes, but the fault is in the play, not the players. Van Treuren and Ms. Rosenberg (Carlotta) are "Phantom" veterans, having appeared in WBT's previous productions – Van Treuren in all three.
Director Tom Polum and music director Bob Bray are also returnees, a factor likely contributing to the seamless execution on stage and in the pit. The versatile ensemble, a major presence throughout, is excellent, and the 'Musical Staging,' which one assumes includes the ensemble's singing scenes as well as the choreography, is smoothly coordinated by Erica Mansfield (Cassie in WBT's outstanding "A Chorus Line" last January).
'Set Coordinators' Steve Loftus and Carl Tallent share well-deserved credit for the large, circular platform that elevates from the stage floor to create the illusion of the Opera's sub-basement. Andrew Gmoser's lighting design adds the requisite eeriness to the proceedings, and Keith Nielsen's costumes evoke the period.
So…while Yeston's score may not be as memorable song-by-song as Lloyd Webber's (partly because you've not heard it over and over), it is pleasing on its own, and Kopit's book unveils (unmasks?) a more detailed story than the other. "Yes," I hear you saying, "but is there a chandelier?" Indeed there is. Westchester features an elegant one – plus you get dinner.
Through Nov. 25 and again from Dec. 27- Jan 27 ("A Christmas Carol Musical" plays the interim month) at Westchester Broadway (Dinner) Theatre, 1 Broadway Plaza, Elmsford NY. For performance schedule, including luncheon matinees, and tickets ($59-$89): 914-592-2222 or online at www.broadwaytheatre.com

Alex eager to get Thai race weekend underway
The Pata Yamaha Official WorldSBK Team heads east again this week for the second round of the MOTUL FIM Superbike World Championship at Buriram's Chang International Circuit in Thailand.
Looking to bounce back from a challenging weekend in Australia, Alex Lowes is feeling confident about his return to the Thai track. The scene of a podium celebration for the 25-year-old at last year's inaugural visit, Alex is excited about going to the 4,554m circuit and is determined to build on the potential shown during his opening weekend.
A purpose-built, state-of-the-art facility situated 400kms to the northeast of Thailand's capital Bangkok, the Herman Tilke designed Chang International Circuit opened in late 2014. Reaching the highest FIM criteria, the track's layout combines long straights with 7 right and 5 left-hand corners with its nine-turn technical complex being viewed easily from the main 50,000 seater grandstand.
Buriram ('the pleasant city') is a largely agricultural region with a population of approximately 30,000. The province also retains numerous ancient sanctuaries and ruins as an important reminder of its long and varied history.
Track action commences at 10:15hrs local time in the first of the weekend's two hour-long free practice sessions on Friday 11th March before the Pata Yamaha Official WorldSBK Team's wheels turn in anger for race one at 16:00hrs local time on Saturday 12th March.
Alex Lowes
"Chang has good memories for me from last year's race. It's a relatively new circuit on the calendar this year, being only the second time WorldSBK are visiting Thailand, and I can't wait to get started. I don't really have much to say from Phillip Island so I'm looking to make a proper start to my 2016 campaign at round two. I feel chilled and relaxed this week and really looking forward to it. It will be a tough weekend with the heat and a brand new circuit for the YZF-R1 therefore we already have a lot of work to do from Friday's first free practice but it's going to be great. The people are all very welcoming and the support is great in Thailand so I'm sure everyone is as excited as me to get going!"

With cake. I mean, that's how everyone celebrates birthdays and anniversaries, isn't it?
The Hippie Chick said to me, "It's your blog-iversary? It's been one year?"
No. It's been three years. Three amazing years.
Scratch that. It's been two boring, hobby-ish, I'll-do-it-when-I-feel-like-it years, and one stunning, indescribably mind-blowing, crazy exciting year.
Shall I demonstrate?
Three years ago: Giant Ginger Cookies
Two years ago: Chocolate Waffle Iron Cookies
One year ago: Cranberry Orange Chocolate Chip Muffins
I probably shouldn't even link to that old stuff, it's so embarrassingly bad.
But since this last year has been so much fun, I figured it was only fitting to celebrate with my favorite cake of all time. And let me tell you, it takes a lot to eclipse the wonders of Red Velvet Cake.
When my Mom found this recipe several years ago, it became an instant classic in our family. We eat this for about half of the years birthday celebrations.
Maybe more.
My kids were obviously thrilled that I baked this cake for no apparent reason at all. I told them they could have a piece, and they rewarded me by turning the cake into dog bait. That's code for they left the cake on the table and the dog jumped up and licked the frosting off.
I'm not sure whether to be more angry at the kids or the dog.
Here's to more years of growth, and friendships, and baked goods with chocolate chips.
- 1¾ cups boiling water
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 cup brown sugar
- ½ cup butter, softened
- 2 eggs
- 1 tsp. baking soda
- ½ tsp. salt
- 1 T. cocoa powder
- 1¾ cups flour
- 1 pkg. chocolate chips (12 oz.)
- ¾ cup chopped walnuts
- ½ cup butter, softened
- 8 oz. cream cheese, softened
- 1 lb. powdered sugar
- 1 tsp. vanilla
- Place oats in mixing bowl. Pour boiling water over oats, and let sit 10 minutes.
- Add sugars and butter and mix well. Add eggs, and mix.
- Sift together soda, salt, cocoa powder, and flour. Add to oat mixture and mix until combined.
- Fold in the nuts and half of the chocolate chips. Pour mixture into greased 9x13 pan. Sprinkle remaining chips on top. Bake at 350 degrees for 30-40 minutes, until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Allow to cool before frosting.
- Combine all ingredients, mixing until well combined. Frost cooled cake.

Funny Crap from IRC, In which our hero posts IRC discussions that amused him, for whatever reason. Think of it as my own personal bash.org. Speaking of which, let me take this opportunity to note that I'm *not* the "Bob" in this bash.org entry, though it's still pretty damned funny.
Program Note: With the establishment of the semi-official #Uncyclopedia QDB, this page won't need to be updated very often. However, I'll still store things here that might not make it (yes, even our QDB has standards), especially items filed under "Musical Interlude".
Definitely Admin material[edit]

For Country! For Wang!" <Olathe> # Everybody have fun tonight ! # <rcmurphy> The Talk page reached a Euroipods level of hostilty. Bob3 's eyes bulge <Codeine> It was like the Helm's Deep bit of LOTR2 <chron_at_lab> Romania showed up in a few newspapers.. <chron_at_lab> then the whole of romania showed <rcmurphy> Helped in no small part by untranslateable Romanian insults and poor Engrish. <rcmurphy> Porn vandalism was reverted every hour. <rcmurphy> Not a dozen minutes went by between blankings. <rcmurphy> Admins gave up sleeping to defend the wiki the better. <rcmurphy> When it was all over... <Codeine> All the paint wore off the Rollback button <rcmurphy> Many lay dead. <rcmurphy> More were wounded. <Bob3> And the porn? <Keitei> it's in the history probably <rcmurphy> The idealism of war had shattered and the armies realized that they were fighting for nought. <rcmurphy> And Romania became a featured article. <rcmurphy> Even today, holdouts from the war attack the page occasionally. <rcmurphy> Old grudges are not soon forgotten. <rcmurphy> But there is hope. <rcmurphy> There is always hope. <rcmurphy> The End
And that, kids, is why you have a 50% chance of getting a Google ad for "Romanian Wood" when you visit Uncyclopedia. --

More than thousand species belong to the family Begoniaceae that originates from tropical and subtropical zones. The ideal cultivation temperature is around 15° throughout the year. This plant like intense light but not direct sun. During the winter temperatures shouldn't be below 13° C but they still have to be kept in a cool environment. Begonias should be often watered on the basis of the external temperature, taking care, however, to dry superficially the topsoil between one watering and another. During the winter waterings should be drastically reduced and it should be watered just when the topsoil surface is dry.

Life is all about balance. When it comes to balance you have to consider both the world, physical world as well as the subtle world. The physical world is the world where we exist. Subtle world is the world of God, where the blueprint of the physical reality is formed.
When you learn to put your mind to God, and hands to work, you strike a balance between both the world. You walk on the bridge, where both the world co-exists together.
Neither the physical world is left out nor you feel disconnected from your subtle world. If you are looking for the meaning or purpose in life, then this is the only meaning and purpose you will ever found in life. That is, to strike a balance with life.
Nothing too extreme, nor too meager, rather everything in moderation. Serve everything but get attached to nothing. When you strike a balance with both the reality, i.e. physical as well as the subtle world, in a true sense you understand the meaning of life.
Life works inside out. If you indulge yourself only with the physical world, then you will never realize the creation part of it, which happens in the subtle world.
At the same time, if you leave the physical world, and get engrossed into the subtle world, i.e. God, then one fine day, you may realize the making of the creation, but you will not know, the application part of it.
Subtle reality is all about knowing the process of creation, while the physical reality is where you apply your knowledge to manifest the life of your choice.

This is the only reason why so many enlightened beings remain unemployed, irrespective of attaining the highest wisdom of life. They haven't abandoned the physical life as, without the physical reality, life itself is not possible, but they don't know the art of expression. They might have attained the highest wisdom, but when it comes to the physical reality, you need to know the art of expression.
Without expression, survival is not possible on earth.
You need to know, how to apply what you have attained through your years of practice. Only then you can enjoy the fruit of it. All the wisdom of life can only be useful if you bring it into practice. There is no value to the things that cannot be brought to an expression, in one or the other form.
When you put your mind to God, and hand to work, your awareness grows in the moment. The mind is already occupied with ample of things. The time you train your mind to be with God, you drop all those unnecessary things from your mind and keep only one thing in the mind, i.e. God.
This improves your awareness in the moment and your quality of work at hand. Life unfolds with God in a different way. Your action reflects more of your heart than mind.
ALSO READ: With God, you Transcend every Moment of Life
The mind only knows the way of logic and reasoning, while the heart knows the ways of the universe.
Life needs necessary actions to move forward and those actions too have to be in a right direction. When your mind is with God, you don't have to worry about the direction, as any direction you walk with God, it turns out to be right.
In life, both are equally important. Work and God. Work serves you with the outside life, while the attention on God serves you with the life that is happening inside.
God has equally gifted us with the body, mind, and spirit. Thus, while serving the present life, equal effort has to be made to take care of the body and mind, as well as realizing the spirit in the body.
ALSO READ: Ultimate Goal is to Establish Oneself, into the state of Self-Realization
The life is always flourishing both inside as well as outside and thus it's important to hold an intent to grow with life, both in the inner as well as outside world. It's your daily growth in the outside world and your deeper connection with God from within, that adds value to your everyday life.
Your life is limited to the life that you live on everyday basis. It's your this day, that stretches on tomorrow, and it's your past, that you experience on this day. To bring the necessary change to your life, you don't have to alter your life altogether, rather all you need is to bring little change on everyday basis, to experience different life in the future.
Life is simple and straight, but as our mind is indulged in too many complications, that we miss seeing the simple process of life. We only look for the complicated things for the solution, while the truth exists in the simplest of thing.
Life only looks puzzled when you are completely lost in your mind. When you untie the knot of your mind, you notice the simple process of life that happens on its own.
Don't Sweat the Small Stuff
Daily work is required to take your physical reality forward, while the God's presence is required to maintain your sanity in these complex web of the physical world. It's only with the Gods presence you remain untouched by the physical reality of life and go through this life by making most out of it, for yourself and the world around you.
Life is truly magical and you can experience the magic of life when you connect with the actual process of life. If you only remain engaged in the physical reality, you miss the actual happening of life, that happens as a whole.
The complete circle of life considers both the physical as well as subtle reality, while the one who only remains engaged into any of these one world, sooner or later lose the way with life. Start to live life inside out, to reach the stage, where you can strike the balance between both the world.


text: Brutal killings of more than 132 children of Army Public School by Taliban in Peshawar on 16th December, 2014 has sent shock wave across the globe. It also indicates that Talibanization of Pakistan is taking place rapidly. Now question arises that what could be potential likely outcome of Talibanization of Pakistan and its way out? The recent Wagah Border Bombing at Pakistan side of Indo-Pak border in November, 2014 and recent Peshawar killings indicate that such incidents will take place very frequently and more intensely till either Pakistan comes fully under control of Talibans or Talibani terrorists are totally eliminated by Pak military establishment. Pakistani establishment and powerful countries friendly with Pakistan should first ensure that taliban could not lay hand on nuclear arsenals, otherwise anytime nuclear disaster may happen in South Asia. Killings of few Talibani terrorists which is their own creation of Pakistani military, religious and political establishment will not solve the purpose. The great damage has been done by Pakistani political, religious and military establishments in distorting, framing, instilling and nurturing ideologies based on religion to promote terrorism for more than three decades and its repercussions have to be faced greatly by Pakistan, Afghanistan and to some extent by neighboring countries like India, Iran ,China (Xinxiang) etc. Unless and until these ideologies creating Islamic terrorism is killed or controlled by checking the spread of Wahabi Islam and promoting Sufi Islam which is full of love and compassion and hallmark of South Asian Islam, it will not resolve the issues, and such conflict will go in perpetuity more frequently and intensely and on larger geographical area. All the global leaders should come forward to eliminate this ideologies and sever the resources to these talibanis to kill this issue for ever.

It was quite funny when I began to tell people I was pregnant again.
When I told my mum her first words were "I'm running away"! Did it annoy me? Yes. Had she said it before? Yes! mum thinks she's a comedian by the way so I wasn't offended, I laughed because as much as she tries to play the "Lord have mercy card", she is like a mother hen eagerly awaiting her umpteenth granbaby. 👵🏾🏇
Telling the school mums over evening drinks, one called me a crazy lady! That cap fit even over my Afro, so I've been wearing it ever since. 😛🍸🍷
My best mate, screaming and then tears. Yep that's her usual response. We have 2 girls and a boy each already so she is now constantly being asked if she's going again! No! She says defiantly as Mrs O has her groove back and is not giving up her louboutins anytime soon. 😭👠
One response from someone who'll remain anonymous was. "Was it planned"? now call me old fashioned but that is not a question I'd ask anyone but the above mentioned Mrs O as she's been my bestie since 12yrs old and bar God there is no one that has tracked every move I've made since 1991. ⁉😐
I mean all of my kids have been the best surprises EVER. Godfrey must have seen into the future because from the get go even after I told him on one of our first dates that I couldn't have kids said confidently, I want 4 kids with you. Erm I know you have extremely small ears G but didn't you just hear what I said? I'm infertile, barren, unable to conceive, there's no chance mate! 🚫I was certainly wrong!
My hubby is 1 of 4 and I am 1 of 6 with even more siblings via my dad. So we had to go big! It's what we know. In my opinion though no child can be an accident, I mean what did you think would happen when you had unprotected sex? I prefer the term 'happy surprise' as you never know when conception will take place especially when like me you've had reproductive health issues. 👨🏿+👩🏽+❤=👶🏾👶🏾👶🏾👶🏾👶🏾👶🏾👶🏾👶🏾👶🏾👶🏾 Doesn't it?
One of my hubby's business associates gave me the biggest laugh of all and said goodness mate! Can't you get her some box sets or something!!! 📺📽#hilarious!
It seems these days any number above 2 kids is met with some sort of opinion that indicates one of two things. You are brave or absolutely bonkers! Me and my hubby are BOTH, throw in FAITH in God and a slightly hippy earth mother that is me and you get babies. 🌍
I'm good with my 4 heartbeats, sleep interrupters, grey hair makers, joy givers but I've learned to never say never as I've eaten my words before so 4 maybe final. But hey…God has the final say!!..right!
Ps… I've been pregnant or recently delivered a baby for the last 3 summer Olympics '08, '12, '16. So we may just call this one Brazil in honour of our pattern. I did actually consider Olympia for my last daughter but I blame the hormones for that one and the constant blubbering I did every time a national anthem was played! Jude joined us just in time for the World Cup in 2014 and arrived on the actual day Arsenal won the FA cup so maybe a future England star?…Every fathers soppy dream! 🏆⚽
As always, V….😘

7 Plumbing Maintenance Tips That Will Help You Reduce Serious Plumbing Repairs
Plumbers in San Jose handling plumbing emergencies can be quite bothersome and costly. And, if you wait for the problem to occur before taking action, you will only end up spending more money on the repairs. On the flip side, being proactive will help detect such problems early, prevent both extensive and intensive plumbing repairs, and also help you save huge bucks.
This brief article will bring you up to speed with a few plumbing maintenance tips that will aid you reduce plumbing repairs.
Tip #1. Be familiar with plumbing
By knowing the layout of your plumbing system, you are more likely to prevent its damage whenever digging or drilling is done at your homestead. When planting trees, make sure they are planted at a good distance from the pipes, and their roots cannot damage the pipes. In addition, you should also know where the main water supply is located. It can help you shut it off the water supply in case of an emergency.
Tip #2. Watch out for the leaks
Small water leaks can lead to serious plumbing problems if undetected and not repaired on a timely manner. Therefore, be on the watch out for such signs. Leaking faucets, rocking toilets, damp cabinets and dripping refrigerators are all signs of water leakage that require fast action.
Tip #3. Prevent clogging
Clogged drains are one of the most serious plumbing problems. They cause inconvenience in using various plumbing fixtures and may ultimately cause sewer backup. Fortunately, this problem can easily be prevented by teaching all family members about the importance of taking care of the drains. Also, make sure that all floor traps, screens and drain covers are installed to prevent debris and hair from going into the drains.
Tip #4. Avoid frozen pipes
Most water pipes freeze during winter. When this happens, you will be forced to get a plumber to fix it. You can prevent this plumbing repair by ensuring all water pipes are well insulated.
Tip #5. Avoid chemical drains-clearing products
Clogged drains are the most common home plumbing problems. You can opt to unclog the drains using a snake or using chemical products. However, using chemical products to unclog the drains does more harm than good. They actually erode the cast-iron pipes and make them weaker. In addition, chemical products do not remove the entire clog and the problem is likely to reoccur in future. Each time you use the products; the pipes are eroded by the chemicals and may eventually burst open. Therefore, it is recommended that you avoid using chemical products to clear clogs.
Tip #6. Reduce water pressure
As nice as it feels to have water running through your pipes in high pressure, these eventually stresses your pipes and increases the likelihood of a leak. It drastically reduces the life span of your plumbing system.
Tip #7. Keep your sewage line and septic tank clear
Every now and then, use pressured water to clean your sewage line. If the water flows slowly, itâs an indication of a future problem. You can hire plumber to clear the blockage before it worsens. This helps prevent a more serious plumbing repair job.
Well, those are some of the plumbing maintenance tips you can use to reduce future plumbing repairs.

Missouri takes aim at Baylor for Big 12 finale
The Tigers will take on the Bears for the league title after an expected third Border Showdown with Kansas never came to be.
Mar. 09, 2012
The Big 12 Conference Tournament championship game will begin at 5 p.m. Saturday in Kansas City and so many expected that the Border Showdown between top-seeded Kansas and Missouri would survive a little longer.
But with No. 1 seed Kansas being knocked off to a suddenly reenergized Baylor team, it became clear that it was never meant to happen — even with No. 5 Missouri's 81-67 victory over Texas on Friday sending the Tigers to the tournament finale.
The dramatics from the regular season's prior meetings were clearly enough. There was Missouri's ferocious rally in Columbia, where Tiger fans that camped outside Mizzou Arena as early as four days before the game celebrated their team's 11 unanswered points en route to a comeback 74-71 victory.
Twenty-one days later, the venue switched to hallowed Allen Fieldhouse in Lawrence, Kan., where the Jayhawks erased a 19-point second-half deficit to rally past the Tigers in overtime, 87-86.
No, a third round of the Border Showdown did not have a place in the well-scripted final year of its existence. After waging against one another for a century-plus, the rivalry between these two schools will rest on the side of a road named after the game's inventor.
"I was never all right with the rivalry ending, it just is," Kansas coach Bill Self said after his team's elimination. "I didn't come here thinking about the rivalry or anything like that. But we had two epic games with them. It's unfortunate it's ending."
On Saturday night, fans hoping to see a final contest on neutral grounds will not get their wish. Southeastern Conference-bound Missouri will face Baylor for rights to the tournament crown.
"Our coaches didn't come here early to scout Kansas," said senior guard Kim English, one of the three four-year seniors on the team who beat Baylor as freshmen in the same game. "We came here just wanting to win a Big 12 championship, no matter who it was against."
The No. 6 seed Bears have erased memories of a turbulent second half to their season by an impressive showing at the Sprint Center, where they've also unveiled a highlighter-themed attire choice, a color design that Adidas says, "Pays homage to the high intensity of March Madness."
"I like them right now," Baylor coach Scott Drew said with a big smile.
Drew has defended forward Perry Jones III in the midst of the preseason Big 12 player of the year being scorned by critics for averaging just nine points in his final eight conference games. Jones scored a career-high 31 points against Kansas State in the quarterfinals and 18 against Kansas and is demanding back the praise he once received.
Jones struggled twice against Missouri this season, scoring only 12 combined points in both meetings.
In the most recent matchup at Columbia, the Tigers routed the Bears 72-57.
"When Missouri is on, there's nobody that's as good in the country," Drew said after that game. "Nobody. Period."
Round three between the two will be the last Big 12 competition for departing Missouri, champions of the tournament only once this decade but six times in the Big Eight and Norm Stewart era.
"You want them to have fun and enjoy what they're doing," coach Frank Haith said of his players. "They've got a tremendous opportunity to play a sport they've grown up playing all their lives under the bright lights."
During Friday night's Kansas game, "Mini Mizzou," the contingency of band members that has brought its brass and wood to the Sprint Center, sat in a booth to the left of Baylor's band and behind the school's cheerleaders.
The black- and gold-clad students were without their instruments in their laps. Instead, they were with signs reading, "GO BEARS," rooting on the team against the Jayhawks.
Like the Missouri team, they apparently did not to care for another potential Border Showdown. They played loud for their team when it played for a chance at the championship.
A chance at a championship was all that ever mattered.

text: A group of students interested in studying science and medicine at university took part in a full day symposium at the University of British Columbia on Friday, May 29th to explore the world of microbiology and antibiotics. They got a snapshot of what a UBC lecture would look like by engaging in a discussion with Professor Julian Davies about bacteria and antibiotic resistance. They then explored various topics about antibiotic resistance, alternatives to antibiotics, and the future of 'super bugs' in a variety of workshops. Hopefully these future scientists can help to answer some of these questions, or better yet, create more questions!

Mozart - Horn Concerto #1, 1st Movement (Allegro)
See all songs
Long Song Description:
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's Horn Concerto No. 1 in D major, K. 412/386b was completed in 1791. The work is in two movements: Allegro and Rondo.
This version was arranged and performed on the MDT French Horn by Bart Brady Ciampa, BMI. The background was constructed using Roland SC-8850, XV-2020, and Kurzweil K-2000 synthesizers.
Story Behind the Song:
This is one of two horn concerti of Mozart to include bassoons (the other is K. 447), but in this one he "treats them indifferently in the first movement." It is the only one of Mozart's horn concerti to be in D major (the rest are in E-flat major) and the only one to have just two movements instead of the usual three.
Although numbered first, this was actually the last of the four to be completed. Compared to the other three concertos, it is shorter in duration (two movements rather than three), and is much simpler in regard to both range and technique, perhaps in a nod to Leitgeb's, the horn player and Mozart's great friend, advanced age and (presumably) reduced capabilities at the time of composition. The second movement was shown by Alan Tyson to have been finished by Mozart's student Franz Xaver Süssmayr after Mozart's death.
