Andrew Rehfeld, Ph.D. is the 10th President of Hebrew Union College-Jewish Institute of Religion (HUC-JIR). A leading political scientist and distinguished Jewish communal leader, Dr. Rehfeld's career has bridged both the academic and professional worlds as Associate Professor of Political Science at Washington University (2001 to 2019) and as President and CEO of the Jewish Federation of St. Louis (2012 to 2019). Elected on December 18, 2018 by the HUC-JIR Board of Governors after a national search, he began his tenure on April 1, 2019, and was inaugurated on October 27, 2019, at Plum Street Temple in Cincinnati. He succeeds Rabbi Aaron Panken, Ph.D., z"l, HUC-JIR's previous President (2014-2018).
Joy G. Greenberg, Chair of the HUC-JIR Presidential Search Committee, stated, "We are honored and delighted to welcome Andrew Rehfeld as our new President. A distinguished academic and creative thought leader, Andrew is uniquely qualified intellectually, spiritually, and professionally to lead the College-Institute in our mission to transform the Jewish community and the broader world. Andrew brings to HUC-JIR a passion for teaching and scholarship, as well as exemplary leadership skills that have set him apart as a dynamic visionary and community builder."
As HUC-JIR President, Dr. Rehfeld leads the four-campus international institution of Jewish higher education and seminary for Reform Judaism, which educates leaders to serve the Reform Movement and the Jewish people worldwide as rabbis, cantors, educators, and nonprofit management professionals, and offers graduate programs to scholars and clergy of all faiths. He also holds a tenured faculty position as Professor of Political Thought. Dr. Rehfeld oversees campuses in Cincinnati, Jerusalem, Los Angeles, and New York, an annual operating budget of over $41 million, 36 full-time tenured faculty, and an enrollment of about 400 full-time students and 800 part-time education students, graduate studies students, and undergraduate students at HUC-JIR's partner institutions, University of Southern California and Xavier University. HUC-JIR's 4,000 active alumni serve the Reform Movement's 1.5 million members and nearly 900 congregations, representing the largest Jewish denomination in North America and the growing Progressive Movement in Israel and around the world.
Dr. Rehfeld stated, "I am deeply humbled by the faith and confidence that the Search Committee and Board of HUC-JIR have placed in me. I am thrilled by the opportunity to work collaboratively with a dynamic professional team of deans, program directors, academic administrators, and faculty across all four campuses to shape the future of professional Jewish leadership by inspiring, educating, and learning from a new generation of students. These are challenging times for the Jewish People that I believe HUC-JIR, as a multi-faceted institution of higher education, is well suited to address. I can only hope to live up to the historic legacy of transformational leadership that characterized those who held this position before me, from Isaac Mayer Wise and Stephen S. Wise to David Ellenson and Aaron Panken. I am honored to serve as the President of HUC-JIR."
Sue Hochberg, Chair of the Board of Governors, remarked, "Andrew Rehfeld brings to HUC-JIR a deep personal commitment to Reform Judaism and Jewish values, a profound understanding of academic excellence and the mission and impact of Jewish nonprofit institutions, demonstrated success in ensuring financial sustainability, and an entrepreneurial spirit of innovation. He will be building upon the vision of his predecessor, Rabbi Aaron Panken, of blessed memory, as he leads HUC-JIR in meeting the challenges of the Jewish future in North America, Israel, and around the world."
A leading political scientist and distinguished Jewish communal leader, Dr. Andrew Rehfeld's career has bridged both the academic and professional worlds as Associate Professor of Political Science at Washington University (2001 to 2019) and as President and CEO of the Jewish Federation of St. Louis (2012 to 2019). The academic values of thinking, writing, and teaching are the core of his identity, coupled with a passionate commitment to building communities based on the Jewish values that are central to his life. He is an advocate for pluralism, inclusion, and racial and social justice, and an activist in combatting antisemitism, advancing peace and security for the state of Israel, and strengthening the ties binding Jews worldwide.
Dr. Rehfeld brings to HUC-JIR his extensive expertise in academic and nonprofit administration, fund raising, strategic planning, and community leadership. He was recruited in 2012 from his tenured faculty position at Washington University to lead the Jewish Federation of St. Louis. Over the past six years, he galvanized the St. Louis Federation by implementing a "bottom up" community-focused engagement approach. He led a team that raised $15- $20 million annually, and allocated $14 million per year to support, educate, and connect thousands of individuals in St. Louis, Israel, and globally, while overseeing an annual operating budget of $6.5 million and a $130 million endowment. His leadership achieved a sustainable, balanced budget, three years of real growth of the annual campaign for the first time in over 30 years, the completion of an organizational integration with the Central Agency for Jewish Education of St. Louis (CAJE), a major renovation plan for the 35-year-old facility, the first community demographic study in 19 years, and a resulting strategic plan to boost Jewish communal engagement. He oversaw the creation of a new center for pluralistic adult Jewish education, and mobilized support for an extensive renovation of the community's 25-year-old Holocaust Museum and Learning Center. Through its 2017 strategic plan, Dr. Rehfeld put into place a novel model for a Federation as a community development organization that works collaboratively to achieve impact, clarified the Federation's provision of direct services that include a community library and archive, and an award-winning volunteer program to serve hundreds of seniors in the community, and implemented an engagement-first model that fosters engagement in the Jewish community as part of a life well lived.
In response to multiple communal security and bomb threats and the desecration of the Chesed Shel Emeth Jewish Cemetery, Dr. Rehfeld demonstrated significant crisis leadership and has offered guidance to other communities facing these challenges, including leading the Federation Board to make an important symbolic investment in Missouri Governor Jay Nixon's Ferguson Commission. He fought the Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions (BDS) movement less by restricting speech and more through focusing Federation on expanding mutually beneficial economic and cultural partnerships between the state of Missouri, the St. Louis region, and Israel. This work included leading four missions from the Missouri State Legislature to Israel, and, in 2014, a successful effort to create a Missouri Trade Desk in Israel – its 11th in the world – to promote trade.
Prior to joining Federation, Dr. Rehfeld achieved distinction in the academic world for his work as a scholar and professor. He earned a Ph.D. in Political Science (2000) and a Master of Public Policy (1994) from the University of Chicago, and a B.A., Phi Beta Kappa, in the Philosophy Honors Program at the University of Rochester (1989). His Ph.D. dissertation was entitled Silence of the Land: An Historical and Normative Analysis of Territorial Political Representation. In 2001, he joined the faculty of Washington University, where he received tenure as Associate Professor of Political Science in 2007.
As a member of the faculty at Washington University, Dr. Rehfeld worked to build academic community through collaborative leadership. His leadership roles in academic administration within the political science department included Director of Undergraduate Studies, revamping the major, and invigorating its student association. He served as a Residential Faculty Fellow, implementing innovative educational programming with students. He served on the Arts and Sciences Curriculum Committee and New Curriculum Review Committee, launched the University's Washington, DC program, served on the academic review committee for a peer department, and was appointed the Chair of Washington University's Judicial Board. In 2002, he founded a faculty workshop in political theory that remains a vibrant, multi-disciplinary institution today. He received teaching awards from the Arts and Sciences Council of Washington University and the American Political Science Association.
Dr. Rehfeld's research focuses on contemporary democratic theory with related interests in the history of political thought and the philosophy of the social sciences. While his main area of academic interest is in political thought and institutional design, more recently he has been involved in translating those interests to Jewish studies and contemporary politics. He was actively involved in a project that explored the role of the Hebrew Bible in western political thought, publishing what is thought to be the first article on John Locke's use of the Jephtha story in his extensively researched Second Treatise on Government. His recent teaching of undergraduate courses in "Zionism" and "Jewish Political Thought" reflects this engagement. In addition, he currently is working on a project to address how to retain the two-state solution given present political realities, without giving up on either the democratic or Jewish character of the state of Israel.
His first book, The Concept of Constituency (Cambridge University Press, 2005), provided a conceptual, historical, and normative analysis of territorial redistricting. His next book project, A General Theory of Representation, is under contract with Cambridge University Press. He has published numerous articles on topics in political philosophy, redistricting, and the use of the Hebrew Bible for political purposes in a range of scholarly journals. In 2011, Dr. Rehfeld was appointed as Co-Editor of NOMOS, the yearbook of the American Society for Political and Legal Philosophy, and he served on the Editorial Board of The Journal of Politics. He also served on the Governance Committee for the Association for Political Theory and as Secretary of the American Society for Political and Legal Philosophy.
Dr. Rehfeld held the Fulbright Visiting Research Chair in the Study and Practice of Federalism at McGill University and served as Visiting Professor at the Liberta Universita Internationale Degli Studi Sociali in Rome and Visiting Assistant Professor at the Harris School of Public Policy at the University of Chicago. He currently holds academic affiliations as a faculty affiliate of the Washington University Danforth Center for Religion and Politics and in 2015-16 was a Senior Fellow in HUC-JIR's Center for the Study of Ethics and Contemporary Moral Problems in Cincinnati, OH.
A product of the Reform Movement, Dr. Rehfeld was involved in the Reform camping movement for over 35 years as a camper and song leader at Kutz Camp and more recently as faculty of the URJ Olin-Sang-Ruby Institute. He lived in Israel for a year prior to college, where he studied Hebrew on a kibbutz ulpan and was an early participant in the work-study program Livnot U'l'hibanot. Prior to his graduate studies, he was the regional director of NFTYGER (the New Jersey region of NFTY) and worked in India for the American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee. During his graduate studies, he ran the confirmation program at KAM-Isaiah-Israel in Chicago, advised its youth group, and later served on its Board of Directors. He was a member of Central Reform Congregation in St. Louis and is now a member of Temple Israel and Kol Rinah congregations in St. Louis. He has also served on the Board and Executive Committee of Washington University's Hillel and the St. Louis Jewish Community Relations Council.
Dr. Rehfeld's appointment is the result of a national search conducted by a 23-member Search Committee, including members of the Board of Governors, alumni, faculty, students, and staff, with the assistance of Storbeck/Pimentel & Associates.

The Thunder Returned
If you were anywhere near the downtown area this weekend, you heard the unmistakable sounds of racing boats. Our riverfront, once again, welcomed power boats from all over the country to come and enjoy our hospitality and all that the river offers. And if you remember our past history, the Ohio River in New Martinsville is home to several speed records set since racing began in 1938. Boat racing and New Martinsville go hand and hand.
This weekend, boats in six different classes came to town to race on one of the fastest fresh water courses in the country. For the last five years, Super Sport – along with SST-F2 and SST- F3 tunnel boats – have come to town each September to race. This year they were unexpectedly joined by sixteen Formula 1 boats. This last minute addition was due to the storm-related problems in Texas, canceling the season's final race determining the championship. And if you heard the familiar sounds of inboards engines echoing off the hills sides, you realized Grand National Hydro's and the fast Sportsman Entry class had returned to our river course.
The weekend event was given the benefit of beautiful fall weather, along with mild temperatures to accommodate the many spectators that watched from the banks. Months of preparation by event organizers needed to be quickly adjusted to accommodate the Formula 1 boats. By RegattaFest weekend, fifty boats had registered to race. Even with the increase in racing classes, the weekend's action was kept moving throughout the two day schedule without any major delays.
If boat racing was not your interest, you could walk through dozens of show cars in attendance for the Saturday event. Side streets, along with the parking lot behind the old Doolin building, was filled with polished show cars and trucks on display. In addition to the show cars, Corvettes by the dozens came to town for a rally. Many uniquely styled corvettes, not often seen, were on display.
Live musical entertainment, scavenger Hunt, Firemen's Challenge – along with a kids play area – topped off the weekend's event. Downtown was truly alive with many guests who came out to see boat racing and enjoy all the entertainment offered for the 2017 Riverfest.
The festival weekend event reminded me of a time long ago. You see, I have been a big boat racing fan since I was a kid. I grew up three miles out the creek near the 4-H camp. I still can remember each fall when the boats came to town, and the sounds of power boat engines that traveled as far as our small community. I would ride my bike into town and find a place in the fence to slip in and watch the racing. The memory of boats are very much part of my growing up. The sounds of the big inboards last weekend reminded me of those long ago days.
The festival was well planned and appeared to come off without a hitch. Those who worked and planned this year's RegattaFest should be proud of the service they provided to the community. And the Powerboat Super League organization delivered excitement to all who viewed the festival. It is also important to remember, throughout this summer, other groups' organized festivals and events that help to bring visitors to our town. For all the people who work hard to bring events and festivals to our community, I give you a Big Thanks. As to this year's RegattaFest, the combination of great weather, unexpected problems in Texas, and lots of community support made for a great weekend event. I can only hope that this year's event is a sign of many good things to come, as we look Through the Lens.

Eat 6 Ounces of Grain Products Each Day
Eat 6 ounces of grain products each day. Grain products include cereals, breads and starchy vegetables (such as corn, green peas, potatoes and lima beans). Whenever possible, choose whole grains such as whole-wheat bread and whole-grain cereal. To get a big dose of fiber early in the day, eat high-fiber cereal for breakfast. Check the labels on cereal boxes; anything with more than 5 or 6 grams of fiber per serving qualifies as high fiber. If you don't like high-fiber cereals, try mixing them in with your usual cereal and increasing the amount of high-fiber cereal over time.
Also, try making barley a permanent addition to your diet. It can relieve constipation and keep you regular. Buy some barley flour, flakes and grits, and add some barley grain to vegetable soup or stew.

Travellers from non endemic countries can contract the disease when visiting these areas and become ill while abroad or present with symptoms on return home. When malaria risk varies within a country, those living in non malarious parts can become infected when travelling to malarious areas. In some malarious areas, for example in parts of southeast Asia, there is a seasonal pattern of transmission. Mosquitoes like a humid atmosphere and breed only in fresh water so their numbers usually increase after periods of heavy rainfall or monsoons.

Conducting an awareness training or explaining complex information security concepts can be simplified and made fun through gamification. It is possible to learn more about information security simply by playing card games. Please see below for the three games you can download for free, print and start playing today.
1. Playing with application vulnerabilities
OWASP Cornucopia is a mechanism in the form of a card game to assist software development teams identify security requirements in Agile, conventional and formal development processes. It is language, platform and technology agnostic.
2. Playing with threat modelling
Elevation of Privilege (EoP) is the easy way to get started threat modelling, which is a core component of the design phase in the Microsoft Security Development Lifecycle (SDL).
The EoP card game helps clarify the details of threat modelling and examines possible threats to software and computer systems.
The EoP game focuses on the following threats:
- Spoofing
- Tampering
- Repudiation
- Information Disclosure
- Denial of Service
- Elevation of Privilege
An academic-style paper explains the rules motivation and lessons learned in creating the game
The VOME project created a card game to support the discussion and teaching of issues of online privacy and consent. Players make decisions about what information characters might reveal to others and what they keep to themselves.
According to the authors, the main idea behind the game is to use the rules to model the way that information flows around the online environment. In real life, these flows are complex and often hidden. In the game it is possible simplify the relationships and decisions, and provide immediate feedback on the effects of those decisions

Ozzy Osbourne steps in to replace pizza man's stolen CDs in Newfoundland
ST. JOHN'S, N.L. — A Newfoundland pizza deliveryman who lost his collection of rock and roll CDs to a thief has been re-upped by the godfather of metal himself: Ozzy Osbourne.
Josh Cook's car was stolen as he made a delivery in St. John's. The thief returned it to the same spot the next day, but Cook's CD collection was gone.
All that was left behind: An album by Zakk Wylde, Osbourne's longtime guitarist.
"They didn't have to do anything like that. It was incredible. These guys are set for life but still take the time for one fan." – Josh Cook
Local media coverage of the story was picked up by blogs and a rock music magazine, where Wylde's son saw it and contacted Cook to ask for his address.
Cook said he was surprised when he got a notice to pick up a package from a courier about a week later.
"He sent me like six t-shirts, three long-sleeve t-shirts, three zip-up hoodies, a copy of his new album on CD and vinyl and other collector items," Cook said.
Cook said he was blown away by the gesture, but it didn't end there.
Another large box arrived a few days later — with Osbourne's back catalogue.
A Newfoundland pizza delivery driver whose car was stolen is now sporting lots of rock and roll swag thanks to the generosity of rockers like Ozzy Osbourne who heard about his plight. A signed portrait of Ozzy Osbourne is seen in an undated handout photo.
"I opened it up and a couple t-shirts fell out. Then a load of CDs fell out. Black Sabbath and all the Ozzy Osbourne stuff — basically everything Ozzy did. I thought it was amazing, and then this white envelope falls out. I opened it and there's an autographed picture of Ozzy.
The picture says "To Josh" and has Ozzy's signature.
"They didn't have to do anything like that. It was incredible. These guys are set for life but still take the time for one fan," Cook said.
The packages arrived a year ago, but people are hearing Cook's story now because of recent media coverage about criminal activity at the St. John's apartment building where his car had been stolen.
"That address has been notorious, including assaults and a stabbing," Cook said.
Cook said that since his car was stolen, he's had nothing but bad luck with jobs as employers go out of business.
He is back delivering pizza as he helps to support his disabled mother, but said he has his music to listen to — and is now more selective on where he will make deliveries.

Think about your grandfather. What do you know of him? What were his joys? What did he value? What were his biggest challenges? What of his life experiences did he pass to you?
Even if you had a close relationship with your grandfather, probably a lot of questions that you never asked will come to mind. Probably a lot of his stories died with him. Now imagine you have a letter from him, to you, talking about his life. What would you want to read in that letter? What would the value of that letter be to you?
Writing a life story is your chance to leave that type of personal letter for your kids, grand kids and their kids. What do you know that may make a difference to your grandchildren's lives in years to come? How have you answered life's biggest questions and how did you arrive at those answers?
Writing a Life Story Book has Multiple Purposes…
- It helps younger generations learn from the past and understand their place in time.
- It helps us reflect on the present because although we live our lives forward, we understand them in reverse.
- It is a way for our lives to contribute to the future of our families and our society. This is your chance to put your spin on history!
The Importance of Family History
In the summer of 2001, researchers at Emory University interviewed four dozen families, asking the children questions about their family history and taping the families' dinner conversations. They found that a child's family history knowledge was the best single predictor of that child's emotional well-being. After September 11, 2001, they went back and interviewed those children again and found that the kids with the highest scores on the family "Do You Know?" scale also demonstrated the greatest resilience. The magnitude of the effect surprised the researchers themselves.
Dr. Duke, one of the lead researchers, said that the link between knowledge of family history and emotional health is connected to the child's sense of being part of something larger than him or herself. Family history makes sense of the world by building a narrative that explains what life is about. Although a rags-to-rich narrative may seem the most compelling to pass on, the researchers found that the most helpful narrative was actually a bumpy one; things don't just go from bad to good and stay there (or vice versa). It is incredibly powerful when kids know that the family has had ups and downs but through it all persevered together.
It is So Easy to Forget
We don't want to forget our family history—but we do. According to an Ancestry.com survey from 2007, only 40% of Americans know both their grandmothers' maiden names. A third of Americans don't know any of their great-grandparents names. Twenty-two percent of Americans don't know what either of their grandfathers did for a living.
It is easy to forget. Let's start changing that—one story at a time.

Fillon further embarrassed over alleged failure to return luxury suits accepted as gifts
François Fillon, the scandal-plagued French presidential candidate, allegedly failed to fulfil a promise to return bespoke suits he was accused of accepting as gifts in return for favours, it has emerged.
With only a week before the first round of voting, the revelation by the investigative website Mediapart will further embarrass the conservative candidate, who lost his place as frontrunner in opinion polls after being placed under investigation for allegedly giving his British wife a "fake" job as his parliamentary assistant.
Mr Fillon received three suits costing €13,000 from Robert Bourgi, a Franco-Lebanese lawyer, in what he admitted last month was an "error of judgement" — although he denied any wrongdoing.
After the existence of the gifts was revealed last month, Mr Fillon, became the subject of a further investigation into suspected "influence peddling".
He claimed he had returned the suits, made to measure by the chic Paris tailor Arnys.
However, investigators now suspect two suits he 'gave back' to Mr Bourgi were not the ones he had received, Mediapart reported.
"They did not appear to be Arnys suits," Eric Moutet, a lawyer acting for Mr Bourgi, told the website. "In the pocket of one, there was a 'Made in Holland' label."
He said Mr Fillon had also returned a blazer and a pair of trousers made by Arnys, which Mr Bourgi gave him in 2014.
Mr Bourgi said that after the scandal was revealed, he had come under pressure from Mr Fillon's campaign team to keep quiet about the suits and initially denied that he had given them to the candidate.
Mr Bougi said he was annoyed "to have had to lie (about the gifts) for a week."
He said earlier that the gifts involved neither "conflict of interest nor influence-peddling".
Mr Fillon, who has also admitted accepting watches worth more than €27,000, has failed to shake off allegations of sleaze that have derailed his campaign, although he is still one of the four leading candidates in what polls indicate is a close race. It also emerged last week that Mr Fillon put his British wife on the public payroll four years earlier than he initially claimed.

In this article we will explore how we can leverage async feature of C# 5.0 in ASP.NET. Generally to populate multiple controls in ASP.NET sync call needs to happen to database to get the data. But using async feature of C# 5.0 the data for multiple controls can be retrieved simultaneously.
Let's see how we can do this.
Step 1: Download Visual Studio Async CTP. This is supported only in VS2010.
Step 2: Add reference of AsyncCtpLibrary.dll from Documents\Microsoft Visual Studio Async CTP\Sample to your application.
Step 3: Add below namespace in the .cs file
using System.Threading;using System.Threading.Tasks;using System.Data;using System.Data.SqlClient;
Step 4: Add a button, dropdownlist and gridview to demonstrate the perfomane benefit that can be achieved using async in C# 5.0 in ASP.NET.
Step 5: Fill the data on click of button.
protected void btnGetData_Click(object sender, EventArgs e){ FillData();}
Step 6: Within FillData, FillGridView and FillDDDL will be invoked. WhenAll creates a new Task which awaits asynchronously for each task which Whenall takes in sequence. It fills the result of the tasks into an array and invokes itself on continuation.
public async void FillData(){ //List of tasks to be executed before WhenAll get executes var recommendations = new List<Task<DataTable>>() { FillGridView(), FillDDDL() }; DataTable[] dt = await TaskEx.WhenAll(recommendations); gvRecipie.DataSource = dt[0]; gvRecipie.DataBind(); ddlSkill.DataSource = dt[1]; ddlSkill.DataTextField = "skillset"; ddlSkill.DataValueField = "skillid"; ddlSkill.DataBind();}
Step 7: Below two methods FillGridView and FillDDL will be invoked asynchronously. await returns the control back immediately while the method executes.
public async Task<DataTable> FillDDDL(){ return await TaskEx.Run(() => { string strQuery = "SELECT skillid, skillset FROM skillset"; return GetData(strQuery); });}
Step 8: GetData method will get the data from the database.
private DataTable GetData(string strQuery){ string m_conString = "ConnectionString"; DataTable dtDept = null; using (SqlConnection con = new SqlConnection(m_conString)) { con.Open(); using (SqlDataAdapter sqlAdapter = new SqlDataAdapter(strQuery, con)) { dtDept = new DataTable(); sqlAdapter.Fill(dtDept); } } return dtDept;}
This ends the article of Using Async feature of C# 5.0 in ASP.NET.

Arteries make up a major part of the circulatory system, with the veins and heart being the other main components. Arteries make up tubelike structures that are responsible for the transportation of fluid (i.e., blood for of the circulatory system, and lymph for the lymphatic system) to and from every organ in the body. Mainly, arteries manage the transportation of oxygen, nutrients, and hormones through our bodies. Arteries can dispense fresh oxygen to the body after it gets loaded onto the Fe 2+ found in the center of hemoglobin. The oxygen binds to hemoglobin and is carried by the arteries to areas that are lacking oxygen. Through a shift in affinity for the oxygen, it is then unloaded to specific areas through high surface areas knowns as capillaries.[1] Far from being a changeless structure, arteries adapt through signals received from the central nervous system, as they also react to an outer stimulus like pressure, temperature, and substances. Vascular nerves are responsible for innervating the arteries allowing them to change to their stimuli. As catecholamines get released into the blood, the nerves send signals to the arteries to either constrict or dilate, leading to changes in pressure.[2]
Arteries are composed of smooth muscle allowing constriction and dilation through the parasympathetic nervous system.[3] Arteries differ from veins in the sense that they most often are carrying unoxygenated blood away from the heart and into the rest of the body system. This is not always the case; however, as the pulmonary artery moves unoxygenated blood from the heart to the lungs to complete the gas exchange in the alveoli.[4] Arteries play a crucial role in maintaining homeostasis in the body. As individuals age, health issues begin presenting themselves in the form of stiffening or thicking of the arteries; however, many different issues develop with age and poor diet. Additionally, arteries begin to clog with a thicking of plaque known as atherosclerosis.[5] As problems arise in the structure of the arteries, it begins leading to more strain on the heart, which develops congestive heart failure and which is often fatal. The arteries are vital to maintaining a healthy cardiovascular system, thus a healthy lifestyle.
The arteries throughout the body are composed of three different layers. The first most inner layer of the artery is known as the intima, which is made up of a smooth muscle layer that contains one layer of endothelial cells, and the rest is smooth muscle and elastin. The tunica intima creates a tube for the oxygen-rich blood to move through to reach the appropriate site of perfusion. In this way, there is no leakage from the artery, and the nutrient-rich blood can move to the appropriate area before it unloads its oxygen and other nutrients. The second layer is known as the media or the middle layer. This media layer is made up of more smooth muscle that can dilate or constrict, which adjusted the pressures felt on the arterial walls during systolic pumping. As the muscle contracts, the walls will feel more pressure from the left ventricle, and similarly, as the vessels dilate, the pressure observed will drop.[6] The last layer is the outermost known as the adventitia. The adventitia is crucial for connecting the arteries to other tissues in the body, including the vascular nerves, which control the smooth muscles in the arteries. In this way, the arteries do not move freely throughout the body but instead are held in place to ensure a consistent and effective cardiovascular system. Usually, the arteries are under the most pressure as they are receiving blood from the left ventricle, the most powerful section of the heart. However, the pulmonary artery is different for two reasons. Not only does it move unoxygenated blood from the heart to the lungs, but it also handles much less pressure, as the right ventricle has less force than the left. The pulmonary artery leads to blood to the lungs while the rest of the arteries move blood to specific areas of the body. The blood from the left ventricle gets pumped through the largest artery known as the aorta. The aorta then split into four different sections, the ascending aorta, the aortic arch curves over the heart, descending thoracic aorta, and the abdominal aorta. The ascending aorta moves up from the heart and further divides in the carotid artery, which supplies the brain with blood.[7] The aortic arch is similar to the ascending aorta and carries blood up for the back and neck. The descending aorta is responsible for bringing blood from the heart to smaller vessels in the chest or ribs. Finally, the abdominal aorta carries blood to iliac arteries, which provides circulation for many of the organs in the abdominal region.[8]
During development, the arteries constantly change to maintain balance in changing environments. The heart and arteries develop from the mesoderm germ layer as it is composed of smooth muscle. After the mesoderm begins to differentiate into sections of the circulatory system due to specific growth factor signaling, the arteries start to form, and circulation powered by the heart initiates. At the beginning of development, the arteries form from the pharyngeal arches. Each arch changes into a specific arterial section during the 9-month pregnancy. During pregnancy, the fetus has a sharded circulatory system with the mother, making the movement of blood unique. The uterine arteries carry blood from the mother to the placenta, where it then can perfuse and travel to the fetus to supply it with oxygen. Fetal hearts also have a unique blood flow as blood does not become oxygenated in its lungs, instead of by the mother. A fetus has a unique connection between the aorta and the pulmonary called the ductus arteriosus.[9] This connection allows blood to flow past the lungs of the fetus as they are not in use while in the fetus is in the amniotic sac.
In all of these examples, arteries are comprised of smooth muscle. Meaning they are nonstriated muscles that encompass the vessels to provide support and integrity to the entire artery. This smooth muscle reacts to different signals and innervations to constrict or dilate to maintain consistent blood pressure, such as epinephrine and angiotensin II. The sympathetic nervous system can use high levels of epinephrine, which affect alpha-adrenergic receptors to cause the arteries to constrict. This increase in pressure can aid in perfusion during both trauma or hormonal imbalance.[10] Furthermore, the kidney can indirectly affect blood pressure through its release of renin. Renin allows for the creation of angiotensin II, a powerful vasoconstrictor.[11] Therefore through the endocrine system, different hormones are released into the blood, which is then able to signal the vascular nerves to change to maintain homeostasis.
The different surgical considerations with regard to arterial anatomy are:
There are many more ways that arteries aid in maintaining balance, including some vasodilators such as histamine or serotonin. This, however, can become dangerous if balance is not maintained. An angiogram, or inserting of a tube and dye into the artery, can be used to monitor the blood flow to identify and bleeds or blockages. However, environmental factors also play a role in the structure of arteries. For example, during anaphylaxis shock, massive amounts of histamine are released into the body, causing the arteries to dilate to an unsafe amount. This creates a lack of pressure for perfusion of the nutrient-rich blood. In an attempt to make up for this loss, the body begins entering a state of compensated shock by the heart rate. This does not work forever, and without dilation, the patient will soon go into a state of shock. In addition to having to be balanced, many medical issues may arise that would further complicate the situation. One of the most common medical problems concerning arteries is atherosclerosis; the arteries build up with plaque until it affects normal cardiovascular function. This compilation of plaque can form anywhere, meaning a blockage can develop in any area. If blood supply gets cut off from the heart, then, a myocardial infarction will occur.[12] Similarly, if there is a blockage of blood flow supplying the brain, this is known as a stroke. A lack of blood supply to any area of the body can cause permanent severe damage or even death. For example, if blood supply is cut off from the retina, then one may develop amaurosis fugax or blindness.[13] Trans-fats and bad cholesterol have been shown to affect arteries negatively, leading to atherosclerosis. Therefore it is crucial to maintain a healthy lifestyle through diet and exercise. The cardiovascular system is essential for keeping all of the other systems in the body. Arteries, in particular, have a vital role in supplying nutrients to the rest of the body. It is crucial to recognize the part that arteries play in the cardiovascular system to prevent medical obstacles in the future.

Beyonce's ambitious visual album, Lemonade, has earned 11 nominations for this year's MTV Music Video Awards.
Adele follows close behind with eight nominations, including seven for her Hello video.
Kanye West's highly-controversial video for Famous, which features the rapper in bed with several naked celebrities including Donald Trump and Taylor Swift, also received two nominations.
The awards take place on 28 August at New York City's Madison Square Garden.
In Lemonade, Beyonce depicts a woman progressing through several stages of grief as she comes to terms with her husband's infidelity, set in the context of African-American culture.
The entire 60-minute film is in the running for best longform video; while the first single, Formation, is up for the coveted video of the year award, against Adele's Hello, Drake's Hotline Bling, Justin Bieber's Sorry and West's Famous.

Other nominees for the 2016 instalment include Rihanna, Ariana Grande, Calvin Harris and Florence The Machine.
Taylor Swift, who took home four prizes last year, was overlooked despite releasing three eligible videos in the last year. One of them, Wildest Dreams, was even premiered during the 2015 ceremony.
Pop singer Nick Jonas also failed to pick up any nominations, and tweeted he was "disappointed" not to be recognised for his collaboration with Tove Lo, Close.
The star later recanted, saying: "[I] won't let this one thing get to me. I'm feeling so inspired and grateful these days. Gonna focus more on caring less about the small stuff."

10 best benches
Fill a space in the hallway, bedroom or kitchen with some streamlined seating
The humble bench may not make a statement in the way a sofa or armchair can, but it's an incredibly versatile and handy piece to have around the home.
Make use of their slim and long proportions to bring function to odd spaces in the hallway or on the landing; draft them into the living room for extra seating when guests stop by; or use an upholstered one at the end of the bed to boost storage and comfort.
If you're thinking specifically of the dining room or kitchen, go for a longer style (120cm or more) that can seat two or more comfortably. Wood is a natural winner for benches – you endlessly sand, re-finish and re-paint to suit your interior. If yours is bound to take a few knocks over its lifetime, go for a sturdy solid wood piece that comes assembled.
1. Ikea Skogsta Acacia Bench: £40, Ikea
Budget basics are what we've come to expect from Ikea, and this bench doesn't disappoint. Made in solid acacia wood, it's sturdy and has a pleasing natural finish. It suits the hallway, and at 120cm-wide, makes a good dining bench too. The simple design means it's flexible for use all around the house, and the wood can be sanded and re-finished to keep it looking fresh.
2. Cotswold Co Farmhouse Painted Hall Bench: £199, Cotswold Co
Made for the hallway, this traditional bench makes a smart place for storing shoes and boots, as well as a comfortable place to pause. There's a 120cm-wide padded cushion as a seat, and three compartments with wicker storage baskets to hide away gloves and scarves. It's well made, looks smart in ivory paint, and would suit the bedroom too. The cushion cover is removable.
3. Garden Trading Hungarian Settle Bench: £395, Garden Trading
The folkish cut-outs on this spruce bench are based on a traditional Hungarian design, giving it real character. Its compact dimensions (111cm wide by 46cm deep) make it a cosy place for two, and ideal for making the most of odd spots on landings, hallways and spare rooms that are too small to accommodate an armchair or sofa. The seat is hinged, with storage underneath.
4. John Lewis Peyton Dining Bench: £79, John Lewis
Made to match the Peyton dining table, this budget bench has a melamine top and oak effect frame. At 100cm-wide, John Lewis says it seats up to three, although it's much more comfortable for two. It suits a compact kitchen, and the bench is designed to tuck under the table when not in use. The materials let this bench down, giving away its lesser quality. Self-assembly is required.
5. Skagerak Turn Bench: £399, Hus & Hem
Technically it's a bench, but an 80cm width makes this more of a generous seat for one. It might be tempting to dress it up with cushions, but the untreated ash surface does look beautiful as it is. The ambiguous design means this piece could equally be used as a coffee or occasional table – something to draft in when extra seating is required, or simply admire for its unusual form.
6. AM PM Hasuko Bench: £279, La Redoute
There's just a hint of Japanese influence in the Hasuko bench. The woven paper cord seat has been neatly done, adding texture and comfort – although these can stain badly if you're thinking of using in the dining room. The birch construction feels solid and has a smart black finish. This 120cm-wide bench would work well at the end of the bed, or as occasional seating in the lounge.
7. West Elm Tufted Dining Bench: £299, West Elm
This elegant piece has a walnut frame, tapered legs and a smart upholstered seat in grey fabric. It's intended for dining, and there's a mid-century dining table to match, but its 112cm-width suits a living room bay window or end of the bed much better. For the dining room, just 10-20 extra centimetres would make this bench more comfortable for guests to sit side by side.
8. Habitat Talia Bench: £175, Habitat
A good all-rounder, the unfussy Talia bench can be used at the dining table or as a standalone piece. There's a matching set of table, chairs and stools if you do want to use it in the dining room; the mix of colours and materials are a casual approach to dining. It's made of solid beech with a lacquered finish in either white or grey. Some vibrant cushions would up the style factor.
9. Oliver Bonas Miroco Rattan Bench: £295, Oliver Bonas
Rattan continues its comeback, and the Miroco bench gives the natural material an up-to-date twist. The iron back, arms and seat are wrapped (not terribly neatly) in rattan, and the legs have been finished with a trendy mint-green. At 133cm-wide it is bigger than most on the list, and the back and arms offer the impression of comfort. It's not something to spend hours in, however.
10. Made Jonah Bench: £249, Made
An upholstered bench lends itself to many uses. This one is designed to match Made.com's Jonah bed, but if you don't have the luxury of space in your bedroom, it can make a nice accent piece elsewhere in the home. The frame is made in birch with beech legs, and the foam seat is comfortable and deep. It's very wide at 153cm, and comes in light or dark grey, yellow and blue.
The Verdict: Benches
If you can see past the endless aisles of flimsy flatpacks, you can find some real gems in Ikea. The cheapest on the list does sometimes end up being the best, and the Skogsta bench is a prime example. It's made of solid wood that you can customise yourself or leave with a natural finish. It's sturdy, lasts well over time, and has a neutral design that will make it useful in the hallway, bedroom or dining room. Needless to say, its price puts others to shame.

The ATA Compass
Finding the Right Healthcare Interpreter
"Using an unqualified interpreter is like using a broken x-ray machine. You can't get an accurate diagnosis," says Esther Diaz, Secretary of the Texas Association of Healthcare Interpreters and Translators and Chairperson of the Advisory Committee on Qualifications for Healthcare Translators and Interpreters in Texas.
Bad experiences with healthcare interpreting usually result from working with a bilingual who isn't a professional, adds Diaz. "When seeking a new doctor, you talk to doctors you trust and other patients who have a similar health condition and ask if they can recommend a qualified physician," she notes. "Why not approach the search for a qualified interpreter with the same care? Don't gamble on picking a name out of the yellow pages."
Diaz recommends that hospitals and other healthcare providers take these steps to find qualified interpreters.
- Search online directories of professional translator and interpreter associations to find potential candidates. The American Translators Association maintains searchable, national directories of language service providers as well as links to local associations of translators and interpreters across the United States.
- Assess the candidate's language skills: be sure that she has a thorough command of English and her other language(s). Self-proclamation as a bilingual is not enough.
- Test the candidate's knowledge of medical terminology.
- Test the candidate's knowledge of the code of ethics and standards of practice for healthcare interpreters.
- Have the candidate demonstrate her mastery of established protocols. These include:
• interpreting in the first person (Incorrect: "She says she's had blinding
headaches." Correct: "I've had blinding headaches.");
• refraining from summarizing or changing the patient's message; and
• refraining from side conversations with patient or provider.
- Ask for credentials, references and/or other proof of experience. Ideally, the candidate should hold certification from a national or statewide program.
If you can't implement this more rigorous process:
- Pay another organization to assess the candidate's language and interpreting skills and medical knowledge.
- Ask for evidence of training and credentials. Ideally, the candidate should hold certification from a national or statewide program. Reliable certification programs include instruction in the code of ethics and standards of practice for healthcare interpreters as well as language skills and subject area knowledge.
- Ask for evidence of medical interpreting experience and references.
The Certification Commission for Healthcare Interpreters (CCHI) and The National Board of Certification for Medical Interpreters (NBCMI) now offer a national certification credential for healthcare interpreters. Their credentialing programs are separate but similar. Both national certification programs require the candidate to have experience before testing.
Washington State, California, and Massachusetts currently have statewide certification programs (for medical interpreters serving the Department of Social and Health Services, workers' compensation hearings, and emergency rooms respectively). Other states are working on their own programs.

Important Specifics that You Need to Consider when Looking Forward to Invest on an Automated External Defibrillator
As the years go by, so does the number of cardiac arrest cases in America, where, such attacks alone are found to have summed up to about 250,000 to 400,000 deaths in a year and about 10,000 of which are tracked down to have occurred at work, based on the records provided by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration or OSHA. Technically speaking, the very digits and how it significantly rose over the years has led to the development of AED or Automated External Defibrillators.
With that in mind, automated external defibrillators or AEDs have then become a necessary tool to alleviate and address sudden cardiac arrests in the most efficient means possible. In the event that you have heard of such and is interested in seeking AED for sale, then chances are best that you need to be specific and aware about the things that really matter down the line. Keep in mind that it will definitely be ideal and important for you to make sure you are considering the right things and taking advantage of the things we have along should give you a heads up to make the right selection and purchase.
Before you are to make such selection it really is important that you will have to be on point about learning more about your state regulations. Bear in mind that there will surely be a whole lot of things that needed checked when you are looking forward to make the right investment and to know more about the state law and regulations about such purchase is what will assure you a great investment along the way. In fact, other states require a physician's prescription before you are released with an authority to invest on an AED.
Bear in mind that your purchase on an AED is something that should be taken into careful consideration, especially since you need to also consider the program. If you are going to look into the details, chances are high that you will see most of these to not be required by OSHA. So at the end of the day, regardless if the state requires such program to be as per the OSHA standards, still, it will definitely benefit and help if you are to have it to work as the OSHA standards.
The maintenance and inspection is one thing that you need to carefully look into when browsing for the right AEDs. Always remember that you want to be specific and on point about getting the right one, especially since these things vary from one manufacturer to another but nonetheless, it should require an in-depth function test and a visual inspection at least once a month, or once a week in some cases.
As much as possible, it is very important that you need to be on point, regardless if you are going to purchase a used AEDs for sale as it should include trainings such as CPR and First Aid, respectively.

When skies blow clouds
So lazily
And grass sways side to side
I feel your heart pull
About a time that's past
I remember, I do!
I watched you lift your brows
To the sky each morning dew
And sunsets captured a feeling
Of what it was to be you
And now we carry on
Taken, but not forgot.
Ode To Dried Flowers (day 2139)

Some folks find it relaxing to hang laundry out on a sunny summer day. But it takes time to pin wet garments to a clothesline, and sometimes, Mother Nature strikes … and sun-dried clothing ends up getting soaked all over again.
A dryer offers a quick and convenient way to get clothes dry. These days, most homeowners wouldn't be without one. Options range from basic units to feature-packed clothes dryers with high-tech functions.
Below, the BestReviews team has compiled a useful guide to help steer you in the right direction as you shop for a clothes dryer. We discuss the differences between gas and electric dryers as well as pricing info, safety tips, and dryer FAQ.
When you're ready to buy a new clothes dryer, please check out the product list above to learn more about our top picks.
There are two types of clothes dryers: gas-powered and electric powered.
These are easier to install, as long as an appropriate outlet is available. The upfront cost of an electric dryer is usually lower, too.
However, electric clothes dryers consume more energy in the long run than their gas-powered counterparts.
These must be connected to a natural gas supply to function. This typically requires installation by a professional, which will add to the overall cost of the appliance.
A gas dryer still needs electricity to function. Gas heats the unit, but electricity is necessary for almost everything else.
In spite of the higher upfront cost, a gas-powered dryer would likely save you money in the long run. Gas-powered dryers require less energy overall, as they reach drying temperature much quicker than electrically powered dryers.
A new dryer is a significant investment. Before you buy one, find out all you can about the following aspects of the product. Heading into a big purchase with a keen awareness of what you're getting for your money is valuable indeed.
A dryer may have dials, button controls, or even touchpad controls. For a no-fuss experience, pick a dryer with a control panel that you find easy to use. If you're looking at a dryer with buttons or a dial, make sure the dial turns smoothly and the buttons don't stick.
Dryers are sold in three sizes: compact, regular, and oversized.
Compact dryers are best for those with space constraints or folks doing laundry for only one or two people.
Regular-size dryers should suit most individuals and families, but potential buyers should make sure they have room for the appliance.
Oversized dryers are best for those who find themselves frequently washing and drying large loads of laundry.
For most people, the amount of space available dictates the size of clothes dryer they can accommodate. If you have a good-sized laundry room, consider the number of people in your household and the amount of dirty laundry you produce on a regular basis. Large families may wish to opt for a clothes dryer with a bigger capacity.
Measure your space before starting to shop for a clothes dryer, and don't just squeeze in the biggest sized dryer you can find; there should be enough room for proper air circulation around the perimeter of the dryer, too.
Not all dryers come equipped with an interior light. But a light is a useful feature to have, especially if you often find yourself doing laundry in the evenings.
For example, an interior dryer light might help you spot that missing sock you've been searching for.
If you prefer simplicity, opt for a clothes dryer with basic drying modes only. But if you'd like a little more control over your heat, consider a clothes dryer with different drying modes.
A clothes dryer with a wrinkle-guard mode prevents clothes from sitting immobile inside the dryer. The dryer will tumble without heat to ensure your clothes come out looking smooth. It's not a perfect solution, but it works in a pinch.
A clothes dryer with a steam function may also help you banish wrinkles. The results are hit-or-miss depending on the clothing items involved. A steam function won't work as well as an iron, but it's a convenient way to keep wrinkles at a minimum.
A dryer with a "quick-dry" mode uses higher heat to dry your laundry faster.
Some dryers go further than the basics. For example, you might spend a little more to get a dryer with a moisture sensor. With a moisture sensor, you don't waste precious energy drying clothes that are no longer damp or wet.
Some dryers can kill any lingering bacteria in your clothing as it dries.
Some models come equipped with smart features such as the ability to control the appliance via WiFi.
And some dryers come with a rack that can be removed and used to dry items that would bounce around if not contained properly, like shoes.
You could spend anywhere from $400 to over $1,000 for a new dryer. Price varies based on several factors, including brand, size, and features.
Basic and compact dryers cost as little as $400. These budget models are usually smaller in size and do not have fancy features or technology such as moisture sensors or WiFi connectivity.
As you go up in price, dryers typically look sleeker and come with more features and functions. Mid-range clothes dryers may cost anywhere from $400 to $900.
Oversized clothes dryers are usually very high in quality and cost upwards of $1,000. High-tech clothes dryers with smart features also fall at the upper end of the price scale.
Here are a few tips to help you make sure you're using your clothes dryer safely.
A cluttered space could help a fire spread if one were to start.
This is very important. It may mean hiring a professional for an extra cost, but your safety is worth the expense.
Not cleaning your lint trap increases the risk of fire.
Overcrowding a dryer can cause it to work overtime, which could result in overheating and premature breakdown.
If you have a gas dryer, regular inspection of your gas line is essential.
You should be home and alert when your dryer is running in case of an emergency.
Q. It takes forever for my dryer to finish drying a load of laundry. What's going on?
A. You may be stuffing too much laundry in at once for your dryer to work effectively. If this isn't the case, your dryer may not be functioning properly. Have a professional check your dryer to make sure it's safe to continue using.
Q. Does a gas dryer impart any sort of gas odor on clothing?
A. No. You should not smell any kind of natural gas when using a gas-powered dryer. If you do smell gas, there is a problem.
Q. Is there anything I shouldn't put in my dryer?
A. Delicate clothing should be line-dried unless your dryer has a special delicate setting. Workout clothes with anti-microbial properties should also be dried in the open air. Placing shoes in the dryer can be detrimental to both the shoes and the dryer.

Road runners is in full swing at Jimmy Brown Elementary School. The program started to help get younger students out exercising while having fun. It is held after school one day a week for students in 2nd to 5th grade. Road runners is an endurance building, running/ walking program with the goal of instilling in kids the importance of making health and fitness a regular part of their lives. Students also set goals and then try to meet those goals each week.
Parents are welcome and encouraged to run or walk with your child. The High School Cross Country team also comes to the elementary school to run with the younger kids.
This year there are over 70 students in the Road Runner program and they stay after school on Wednesday. After passing out snacks, taking attendance, and a few warm-up exercises the students go outside and run or walk around the elementary playground. The course they use is ½ mile. Each time they go around the playground they get a stick. The sticks are counted at the end of the day and each runner's smile-mile card is punched according to how many sticks or laps he or she has run.
When students receive 10 punches (5 miles) they get their first toe token, which is worn on the shoe. After 20 punches, which completes the first card, runners will get a toe token and a 10 mile certificate. Each time they complete a milestone (5,10,15…miles) they will receive a toe token and/or a certificate.
Many of our Road Runners set a goal of running 26.2 miles or the total length of a marathon. Runners can sign up to run their final mile in Little Rock at the Little Rockers Marathon. Students from all across Arkansas in similar running programs like Jimmy Brown's bring their students to run in the kids one mile race during the Little Rock Marathon race weekend.
The program at Jimmy Brown was started about 6 years ago as a morning program but when it was moved to the afternoon two years ago it became incredibly popular. We had 5 students run in the kids final mile at the Little Rockers Marathon in 2011. Last year the group had 37 signup to run in Little Rock. It is a great program that students look forward running. Running adds years to your life and life to your years!
