As a reciter of the Qur'an, you will have come across many verses with regards to the importance of one's parents; the need to speak to them well, to treat them with dignity and respect and to show them mercy, just as they showed mercy to you when you were completely dependent on them in your infant years. We can never fully repay the debt we owe to our parents, reflected in the Hadith of Abdullah bin 'Umar when he saw a Yemeni man performing Tawaaf whilst carrying his mother on his back. The man said to Abdullah bin 'Umar, "I am like a tame camel for her! I have carried her more than she carried me. Do you think I have paid her back, Oh Ibn 'Umar?" Abdullah bin Umar replied, "No, not even one contraction!"1 Our ultimate debt of gratitude and servitude is to the Creator of ourselves and the Creator of our parents; Allah, glorious and exalted is He. To affirm the existence and Oneness of Him is needed to bring one into the fold of Islam and to set up partnership with Him is the greatest sin. It is Allah's wisdom that He has often paired the enjoinment of worshiping Him with that of doing good and being kind to one's parents. Allah says, {Worship Allah and associate nothing with Him; and show kindness to your parents….} 4:36 وَقَضَى رَبُّكَ أَلاَّ تَعْبُدُواْ إِلاَّ إِيَّاهُ وَبِالْوَالِدَيْنِ إِحْسَانًا
Our ultimate dependence is solely on Allah, but in terms of our dependence in this world, there is nothing that comes close to the fragility and vulnerability of when you were a suckling baby. It was only through the mercy of your mother that you survived those early experiences, being tended to night and day, without asking anything in return. This intense mercy is God-given and the anatomical difference the woman has to the man, i.e. of the womb (rahim), has been said by Allah to have been 'derived' from His name the most Merciful (Al-Rahmaan). The beloved Prophet, peace be upon him, used the example of the mother's love and mercy for her child to illustrate Allah's mercy towards His servant2 and it is for this reason, among many, that the mother has been given so many rights over her child. A man came to the Prophet and said, "O Messenger of God! Who among the people is the most worthy of my good companionship?" The Prophet (peace be upon him) said, "Your mother". The man said, "Then who?" The Prophet said, "Your mother". The man further asked, "Then who?" The Prophet said, "Your mother". The man asked again, "Then who?" The Prophet said," Your father"3.
Of course, the children also have rights over their parents, and unfortunately shortcomings in good upbringing of children can have lasting effects, both on the individual as well as the society at whole. 'Perfect parents' are few and far between (if they exist at all), but Allah and His Messenger call upon us to 'keep ties', the most important being with your parents and your immediate family members. If one's parents were present in our early lives, we should be thankful to Allah, and despite any shortcomings parents may have towards the child, the child is to struggle patiently with them and treat and respect them as they would want to be respected, possibly by their own children, in later life. {Your Lord has decreed you worship none but Him, and that you show kindness to your two parents. If either or both of them attain old age with you, (show no sign of impatience, and) do not (even) say "fie!" to them nor rebuke them, but speak kind words to them. And lower unto them of mercy the wing of humility and say "Lord, be merciful to them both, just as they cared for me when I was small"} 17:23.
وَقَضَى رَبُّكَ أَلاَّ تَعْبُدُواْ إِلاَّ إِيَّاهُ وَبِالْوَالِدَيْنِ إِحْسَانًا إِمَّا يَبْلُغَنَّ عِندَكَ الْكِبَرَ أَحَدُهُمَا أَوْ كِلاَهُمَا فَلاَ تَقُل لَّهُمَآ أُفٍّ وَلاَ تَنْهَرْهُمَا وَقُل لَّهُمَا قَوْلاً كَرِيمًا . وَاخْفِضْ لَهُمَا جَنَاحَ الذُّلِّ مِنَ الرَّحْمَةِ وَقُل رَّبِّ ارْحَمْهُمَا كَمَا رَبَّيَانِي صَغِيرًا
In the UK and across the world, the elderly are often neglected and Islam has much to offer and teach mankind about the treatment of older people and parents and attendees at the Qur'an competition should strive to be at the forefront of good examples in this area.
We are all children. We should take this moment to reflect upon improving our support and kindness towards our parents and if our parents have passed to the next world, to be their perpetuating charity (sadaqah jaariya), by making dua' for them. Abdullah bin Amr reported that a man came to the Prophet, peace be upon him, to give him allegiance during the time of the emigration and he had left his parents weeping. The Prophet, peace be upon him, said to him, "Go back to them and make them laugh as you have made them weep"4. The love from a parent to a child is unrivalled from the 'worldly loves' and we ask Allah that we are the cause of our parents' happiness and that if we have made them weep, that we return to them to make them laugh.
Al-Adab al-Mufrad Bukhari
In a Hadith narrated by Umar bin al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him), the Prophet, peace be upon him, said to his companions upon seeing a mother embracing her child after having lost him, "Do you think that this woman would throw her child in the fire?", they replied "No, by Allah, not if she is able not to." The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings upon him) said, "Allah is more merciful to His servants than this woman is to her child". Agreed upon.
Bukhari and Muslim
Q. In the Quranic verse included in the article, Allah says 'do not (even) say "fie!" To them…. How would you respond to someone who says that as long as you don't say 'fie!' (Uff in Arabic) to your parents, you can say whatever you want as Allah only specified that one word?
Q. The Yemeni man in the hadith of Abdullah bin Umar in the article carried his mum on his back when doing tawaaf. If you were to take your mum on hajj, what kind of things could you do to support her through this difficult journey?
Q. In a hadith not mentioned in the article, the Prophet (peace be upon him) tells us that 'heaven (janna) lies at the feet of the mother'…. What do you think this means?
Q. With regards to the hadith in which the Prophet mentions the mother's right 3 times before mentioning the father; what are your thoughts on the reasons for such an honour to the mother above the father?
Q. Often, Islam is portrayed wrongly as being oppressive to women. How would you use the hadiths in the article to communicate Islam's position on the lofty station of the mother to someone who is of this wrong opinion?
Entering a Qur'an Competition is a big step and you should feel happy that you have memorised some of the Qur'an and In Shaa Allah you will receive blessings for this. The Qur'an also teaches us many important things and one of these is how we should treat our parent's.
Whether you are 1 or 100 years old, Allah will be very pleased if you are good to your parents. Being good to your mum and dad is one of the best good deeds that makes Allah happy. Remember that angels write down everything we do, including all our good and bad deeds. So, if you help tidy the house, smile at your mum when she comes in from work or get your dad a cold drink on a hot day - these will all be written down as good deeds by the angels!
If you think about ALL the things that our parents have done for us, such as clothe and feed us, teach and help us, and give us lots of love and hugs. Especially our mothers, they looked after us when we were babies! To show we are thankful for all these things we should be kind and caring to them in return.
A person came to Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) and asked, "Who among people is most deserving of my fine treatment?" He (ﷺ) said, "Your mother". He again asked, ''Who next?" "Your mother", the Prophet (ﷺ) replied again. He asked, "Who next?" He (the Prophet (ﷺ)) said again, "Your mother." He again asked, "Then who?" Thereupon he (ﷺ) said," Then your father.". This shows how important our mothers are to us!
Q. Why should we be good to parents?
Q. Can you tell me 3 ways you can be good to your parents today?

The following is a screening tool only. This means it's purpose is to look at common behaviours and see if they fit with certain outcomes that can explain sleep troubles in young children. It does not diagnose any specific problem. It also is more likely to find problems when there are none (false positives) than miss problems because the goal of screening tools is to catch as many problems as possible. It is to be used as a tool to help you know what – if anything – to do next with respect to your child's sleep.
Welcome to Evolutionary Parenting's Brief Infant and Toddler Sleep Screening, otherwise known as BITSS. This screening was developed as a response to what I saw as a growing need for families to access some quick information about their young child's sleep. Sleep is one of the most common worries for families and results in a lot of stress for everyone involved and my hope here is to start a family's path towards happiness with sleep. Many families worry something is wrong when really their child is quite normal. Others think sleep is the problem when in reality it may be a health or feeding issue. And sometimes we just do things as parents that can have a negative impact on our child's ability to reach their sleep potential (which is highly variable and dependent on development).
This screening is short and should take less than 5 minutes to complete. As it is a brief screening, it is not conclusive and to be used only as a guiding force for what you may want to look into next, if anything. In some cases, you may be told there is the potential for a problem and really there isn't (which is lovely!), and this happens because you have endorsed items that are frequently associated with a certain area. Currently it is set for children up to 3 years of age, but may be relevant for some slightly older – you can try it out if you like! It is definitely not relevant for children ages 6 and above.
When you receive your results, you will also be guided towards some general recommendations about who you can follow up with or any recommended readings. I hope you find this helpful and I welcome any feedback on the test itself which you can send via email to: email@example.com and please put "BITSS" in the subject line.

|A Shandong farming couple hold certifictates showing they are voluntary blood donors
New Express Daily in Guangzhou, Guangdong province, reported last week that one of its reporters bought a proof of blood donation certificate for 3,000 yuan ($480) without making the donation.
Deng Haihua, spokesman of the Ministry of Health, said at a news conference on Thursday that the local health department is still verifying the incident and police have opened an investigation into the illegal practice.
China has policies encouraging blood donation by promising free blood transfusions for the donors or their family members.
Blood donors are given a certificate of proof each time they donate.
In Guangzhou, a regulation adopted in 2004 stipulates that people who donate 200 milliliters of blood or more in the city will receive blood transfusions for free if they ever need them.
Those who donate 600 milliliters of blood can also get free blood transfusions for their parents, children or spouse.
People have to pay for transfusions if they have not donated blood previously and have no close relatives who did. They also must pay "fees of mutual help", which are three times the cost a hospital pays for the blood.
But the "fees of mutual help" can be refunded if the person who received the blood transfusion or their relatives donate blood within six months of the transfusion.
The policy was expected to encourage blood donations.
But it was discovered that many parents of children who need regular blood transfusions, because of diseases such as Mediterranean anemia, have bought or tried to buy certificates of proof of blood donation, so that they can be reimbursed the transfusion fees.
According to New Express Daily, there are "brokers" who sell quality copies of these certificates which include information such as the supposed donor's name, blood type and ID number.
Some people have used the forged certificates to receive reimbursements for transfusions despite never donating blood, the report said.
Fu Yongshui, director of Guangzhou Blood Center, confirmed to New Express Daily on Saturday that a staff member at a local blood collection station issued a fraudulent certificate, but the staff member denied being involved in forging certificates.
Fu said one possible way the certificate was produced, was that someone used a fake driving license with the buyer's information to pass the blood collection station's identity check and donate blood.
Fu told China Daily on Thursday the police investigation is under way and there is no new information yet.
Spokesman Deng said "mutually beneficial donation" is a way to collect blood when there is a shortage.
"The Ministry of Health will combat the illegal trade of blood together with other departments," Deng said.
Illegal trade involving mutually beneficial blood donation is not new.
In March 2012, the Haidian district court in Beijing sentenced five brokers to several years in prison.
The brokers took advantage of blood shortages.
Patients who needed urgent blood transfusions were told their family members had to donate an equal amount of blood before they could receive their transfusion. The brokers organized people to donate blood pretending to be the patient's family member or friends, and charged the patient afterwards.
"We should push forward with voluntary blood donation. Only an adequate supply of blood can lower the occurrence of mutually beneficial donations, and the risk of the illegal blood trade, and in turn guarantee the safety of blood products," Deng said, calling for more people to join the national donation drive.

Race at breakneck speeds through the streets of modern-day LA, recreated here in stunning detail.
Drive the hottest range of real-world tuners, muscle cars, exotics and superbikes on the streets today. Customise your ride with the best aftermarket performance parts and custom kits.
Illegal street racing with no track, no load times, no rules: welcome back to the Midnight Club.
LA Story
With a popular and established set of street racing games under its belt, the Midnight Club series has come a long way to reach its 2008 iteration, Midnight Club Los Angeles. The draw is wonderfully straightforward - make one of the most engaging racing games out there in one of the most detailed recreations of a city created. The result is naturally... dazzling.
Singing the LA blues
Midnight Club Los Angeles is about the marriage between course and car. The emphasis on making the City of Angels a suitable place to race, with numerous parts taken from the real place and mixed with artistic licence makes for a refreshing blend of excitement and true to life recreation. Places such as Mulholland Drive and Santa Monica come to life with their various nuances, fine-tuned for playability.
While various billboards and shops are instantly recognisable, Midnight Club LA achieves a lovely level of detail and smoothness that draws you straight into its world. Simply put, the city looks alive, with all its bustling civilians, street light illumination, flora and landmarks, all of which can be explored at your leisure in the free roam mode.
The environment does its best to envelop you as well, with day and night cycles, weather than can change at any moment (and thus change the conditions of the race) and traffic levels that are affected by the time of day. Complimented by excellent lighting to give head and tail lights a neon streak, and motion blur to help convey a convincing sense of speed, first impressions of Midnight Club LA are impressive.
Hot fuzz
The basic career mode puts you in the metal pedal pushing shoes of an unnamed protagonist looking to make a name for himself by taking on other drivers in a variety of races. Success means higher rep points and money - leading to more missions, story progression, and a greater class of cars to try out and enhance.
The police are around to make sure you don't ruin this lavishly portrayed city, too. Break the law in front of them and expect a high speed chase as the fuzz attempt to pull you over. They can be evaded with some skilled driving - it just may take longer than you expect as they pull out reinforcements and pile on the pressure, making things difficult for you and rival racers.
And given the wealth of competitions to compete in there's a strong chance you and the police will be having rather frequent conversations. The layout of the city means contests can be anything from a race to the nearest red light to a blistering freeway checkpoint battle, as well as taking part in tournaments, delivery missions and spontaneous challenges from passers-by over your mobile phone. The open nature of Midnight Club means any number of these can be available at one time with varying levels of difficulty, so it's your choice as to what you want to tackle.
Tasty donuts
The size and variation of Rockstar Games' title means there are a number of elements in it to keep you racing. Cars make way to unlockable bikes, vehicles can eventually get power-ups to give you an edge, other modes such as the Goal Attack and Race Editor (where you can create your own custom checkpoint races) are engaging, and the online mode is deep in both gameplay and game types, offering regular matches, Capture the Flag, and even a Rate My Ride feature to see how your machine stacks up against others around the world.
Nice touches such as the radio banter between drivers as they pass each other and stylistic moments of slow motion for big crashes add to the polished package, strapping you into the game's slick world and taking you for an enjoyable spin.
Midnight Club Los Angeles comes equipped with a wide range of vehicles, a well realised location, lovely presentation and fast, playable gameplay. It certainly packs a challenge, too. The engine is all revved up, the paintwork gleaming and the streets are ready. Midnight Club LA is just begging to be driven. Don't let it down.


text: While the Moderate Consideration Act, or Obamacare, has been condemned by its restriction as "associated solution," it depends intensely on private wellbeing protection. On the flip side of the political range is the way to go that an administration run single payer framework, like Canada's, is the most ideal approach to convey social insurance. (This is here and there under-staffed in the U.S. as "Medicare for All.") On the other hand, this framework has been accepted politically inconceivable here—as of not long ago. In May 2011, Representative Pete Shumlin of Vermont marked into law "A Demonstration Identifying with A General And Brought together Wellbeing Framework," House Charge 202 (HB 202), setting up a solitary payer human services framework starting in 2017. In passing this enactment, Vermont has turn into a firmly watched research facility for wellbeing change. What are the upsides and downsides of a "solitary payer" framework? As a rule, single payer medicinal services implies that every doctor's visit expense are paid out of a solitary government-run pool of cash. Under this framework, all suppliers are paid at the same rate, and residents get the same medical advantages, paying little heed to their capacity to pay. There are various proposed advantages to a solitary payer framework. At present, suppliers must take after distinctive systems with each of numerous insurance agencies to get paid, making a colossal measure of regulatory work. Under a solitary payer framework, suppliers may procure noteworthy funds from lessened regulatory costs, and have the capacity to concentrate all the more on conveying consideration. Likewise with Medicare, a solitary payer framework might likewise give the state more grounded influence to arrange lower rates for medications, medicinal gadgets, installments to suppliers and different costs, bringing about lower general expenses. Moreover, a solitary payer framework gives widespread access to wellbeing protection, which disposes of the issue of the uninsured. In any case, Vermont's imaginative proposition still leaves space for further change. In particular, a solitary payer framework alone does not address "expense for-administration" repayment for suppliers, which may support abuse and does not perceive quality and worth. Different concerns likewise exist. For the most part, private protection rates have been considerably higher than Medicare rates

For The Love of Baseball
First-year Hamilton Southeastern varsity baseball coach Scott Henson has big goals, and he's already started taking steps to get the Royals headed in the right direction. He implemented a strenuous drill in the off season. He calls it the Royals Baseball Victory Challenge 2012. It is somewhat of a "baseball boot camp" if you will.
"The last two years in the HSE system I noticed a lack of toughness, and I knew that we had to get stronger and be tougher both physically and mentally," said Henson. "I didn't take lifting weights and becoming physically stronger as I should have years ago. Now, I know how important it is, and I want these kids to be as fit as they possibly can."
Henson said his goal is to get the Southeastern program back – back to prominence, to where it was in the days he played against the Royals.
"Hamilton County baseball has always been good and tough, and I used to marvel at how structured the HSE program was and how well they performed," he said. "In college, you have the Omaha Challenge where everyone is trying to reach the College Baseball World Series" said Henson. "Our Victory Challenge is something we want to accomplish – to get to Victory Field in Indianapolis for the state finals." That's a road HSE baseball has yet to follow.
The program has produced 11 sectional championships, the last coming in the 2003-04 season. The trophy case includes 4 regional crowns, the last also coming in the 2003-04 campaign. Henson believes he knows what it takes to win, be a constant winner, and help prepare kids for college and a chance to play baseball at the next level.
"One thing I want to impress on our kids is that when a scout calls or comes to see them play, the kids need to be sure they make time for them and to always be respectful. If they don't like the school or might be waiting for another offer, then they need to be up front with the scouts and not waste their time."
The Royals return with a strong pitching staff. One returning familiar face is Steven Curry, who threw a no-hitter in the 2010-11 season but missed last season because of knee surgery. Senior Mitch Roman, son of Dan Roman, the new baseball coach at Carmel, is a three-year starter in the infield and a solid hitter; and junior outfielder Tre Gantt has already made a verbal commitment to Cincinnati.
Henson also is high on pitcher/first-baseman Brendan Burns, a lanky 6-foot-5 southpaw hitter; pitcher Nathan Upchurch; and Roman, who moves from second to shortstop (replacing Wes Edrington, who decided to graduate early in December, passing up his senior season of baseball to report to Nebraska). He thinks all could have a chance to play at the Division I level in college.
Henson, who grew up in Pendleton, graduated in 1991, and was a catcher on the Pendleton Heights baseball team wants to know how it feels to reach Victory Field, home of the Triple-A Indians. "I was on a regional championship team at Pendleton, and we came close to winning a semi-state; we just never fulfilled our dream," said Henson, who went on to play collegiately at the University of Indianapolis and IUPUI. "I think more than anything, more than individual glory, that I wanted us to do it for our coach, Bill Stoudt, an Indiana Baseball Hall of Fame coach."
He'll also have another Hall of Fame coach to impress (only this one will be sitting next to him), former Hamilton SE coach Ken Seitz, who along with son Kory Seitz will serve as assistants again this season. "When you have a chance to learn from two Hall of Fame coaches, it doesn't get much better than that," said Henson, who pointed out he looks forward to bouncing ideas off coach Seitz.
Henson, who had a couple workouts with the Chicago Cubs and spent a lot of time working out with former Indianapolis minor-league great Razor Shines, said he hurt his back during his final year of college. He eventually signed a contract and spent some time with a Single-A Independent team. Henson spent a few years as the hitting coach in North Carolina at Northern Nash (Rocky Mountain HS), has coached catchers, and has gone to the final 4 twice in five seasons.
"My wife and I just wanted to get back home to be with family and friends," he said. "I told my wife that my goal was to be a head baseball coach in Indiana in two seasons. "When I finished high school, I had a chance to go out of state and play college ball, but my family came first," said Henson. His sister, Jessica, passed away at age 13 during his senior year. "I just couldn't leave mom and dad. It was hard later on to move away, too. Now, I'm just happy we're back home."
Henson calls the HSE job one of the top in Indiana. "I plan to stay here. This is where I want to be," he said.
Welcome home, Coach!

Musik to Prost to…Posted: October 2, 2014 Filed under: Uncategorized Leave a comment
1) The #1 rule of Oktoberfest – invest in an outfit. Trust me, that thing will come in handy for years to come (or is that just me?…) Here's my favorite song about a lederhosen clad man – Hans-A-Plast's Lederhosentyp. -caitiebee
2) Korpiklaani – Let's Drink This folk metal group is not from the Vaterland, but deserves a spot on this playlist for its ability to inspire massive beer consumption on an Andre The Giant scale. Let's raise our weapons. –rye
3) Attendance to Oktoberfest should inspire nothing more than "celestial joy," so why not let mostly-German Horrid Red set the mood with some dark, woozy post punk? Horrid Red – Celestial Joy –rye
4) Need something easier to digest, while still getting a healthy dose of Deutsch? Did you know that big acts like The Beatles and Marvin Gaye, in an attempt to woo the Vaterland, learned and performed some of their biggest hits in German? Take Marvin Gaye's Wie Schoen Das Ist for instance. -caitiebee
5) Perhaps your are planning to visit the Vegan-fest by the sea, how about some German reggae as a soundtrack? Seeed – Aufstehen. -caitiebee
6) We've all been there– you wake up wondering why your lower body reeks of Blaukraut and Kasespatzle whilst a crumpled, beer-soaked Drindl stares at you from the corner of your room. In moments like these, you really just need a good soundtrack to reflect on life's repeated mistakes. I've always found that the gorgeous grooves of Krautrock royalty Cluster can aid you in this journey. Here's "Hollywood" –rye
7) Maybe you'll spend so long dancing in a Berlin nightclub drinking vodka and Club Mate, that you won't even make it to Munich at all. For all you masters of the morning – Modeselektor – Berlin. -caitiebee
8) Did you guys know Dee Dee Ramone, bassist of (you guessed it) The Ramones is half German? Did you also know that he had a solo career under the moniker "Dee Dee King" under which he experimented with rapping? Well you do now! An arguable pinnacle of this short-lived effort is a song called "German Kid", in which Dee Dee makes the ill-advised decision to rap in both English and German. Oh, and backing vocals provided by Debbie Harry of Blondie. And no we're not fucking with you. Genießen Sie! Dee Dee King – German Kid –rye
9) At some point, you'll be tired and probably wet and definitely cold, and you'll probably hate Oktoberfest. Here's an angry German song for you to decompress to, the title translates to "Germany must die" – enjoy! Slime – Deutschland Muss Sterben. -caitiebee
PS: If you ever find your way to Munich – get ready for a lot of DJ Otzi.

Supreme Court will hear on Friday the appeal filed by Delhi government challenging the verdict of the High Court, which pronounced that the Lieutenant Governor was the administrative boss in the national capital.
Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal's lawyer requested the apex court to hear the case urgently because senior bureaucrats were now reporting to the Lieutenant Governor instead of the Delhi government.
Delhi government on 2 September had informed Supreme Court that they filed six different petitions challenging the Delhi High Court order and withdrew its civil suit on declaring the national capital as a full State. A bench of justices A K Sikri and B Y Chandrachur, while allowing the AAP government to withdraw the civil suit, gave the liberty to raise the issues raised in it in the Special Leave Petitions (SLPs) it has filed.
The apex court had last month asked the AAP government whether it would file an appeal against the High Court order holding Delhi as a Union Territory with Lt Governor as its administrative head and, if yes, by when.
Senior advocate Indira Jaising, appearing for the Delhi government, said that as per the observation made by the bench in the last hearing of the case, they wished to withdraw the civil suit as six different SLPs challenging the Delhi High Court order have been filed.

Welcome to Dr. Obermark Eye Health Care
We are honored to be your family's eye doctor and vision center in Southeast Missouri
Thank you for giving us the opportunity to care for such an important part of your life: You and your family's eyesight. When asked which sense is most important, most people respond that it is their vision. We understand how important your eyes are to you.
Daniel R. Obermark, O.D. and Cassidy D. Obermark, O.D. provide specialized eye health care for adults and children of all ages in southeast Missouri with offices in Poplar Bluff and Sikeston.
We understand that most people believe that their eyes are healthy and get an eye exam for eyewear or contact lenses, but we also believe that you want trusted eye health care from dedicated professionals. Our doctors are board certified and residency trained in ocular disease treatment including amblyopia, cataracts, diabetic retinopathy, glaucoma, macular degeneration, eye injuries and foreign body removal, eye infections "pink eye", and other eye conditions. Many patients don't know about the number of diseased that can effect the eye and vision system. Frequently a patient will notice blurred vision, think they need a new prescription and schedule an appointment when we diagnose and treat potentially blinding conditions. We have even saved patients from life threatening eye cancers.
You deserve your best eyesight possible which includes correction by Lasik, contact lenses, and eyewear. We will work with you to provide for your unique lifestyle. Laser vision correction has become a tested and proven procedure over the last two decades. LASIK (laser in situ keratomileusis) is a surgical procedure using an excimer laser to reshape the cornea and focus or correct for nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism. PRK (photorefractive keratectomy) differs slightly in the preparation of the cornea and may allow for higher prescriptions to be treated. Only an expert eye doctor can determine which procedure is best for you. Recent technological advances have made contact lenses more comfortable and convenient than ever. We specialize in progressive contact lenses for patients needing reading glasses. We hope you will find our vision center and optical selection to be the best between St. Louis and Memphis and our in-house optical lab provides for fast, convenient service.
We won't take your eyesight for granted! Schedule your appointment online or call (573) 785-6717 in Poplar Bluff or (573) 471-1080 in Sikeston.
We think you will be pleased with our attention to your eye health. "We specialize in Your eyes".

What Our Patients Say
Very knowledgeable and precise. He has been my eye healthcare provider for years. All my family goes to him. I trust him completely; you will too.
Dr. Obermark and his team are excellent. I had a weird condition with my eye and he knew what it was from the start and made sure that I got the services I needed to get it corrected. He even came in one day on his day off to look at test results!! His tech are wonderful too! Very patience and knowledgable!
Melinda Fitzgerald
Extremely pleased with the service and attention to detail the staff and Doctor provided. The exam was thorough and well explained. I would recommend anyone going forward to visit Dr. Obermark. I was able to get in the next day and being my first time I had A LOT of questions on contact lens and frames, they were all patient and helped me find what looked best on me.

The truth is that no matter what there will always be days requiring you to have all hands on deck. Things like local events, holidays, and seasons have an effect on the bandwidth used to grant your employees time off. To help make that process easier to manage and grant greater visibility to your employees, managers are able to block requests for a date or time range using the Time Off and Requests interface.
Blocking Time Off
Log into your Hotschedules account and choose MANAGE TIME OFF under the HOME tab. From there, select BLOCKED DAYS.
On the next page, select CREATE BLOCKED DAY. This will open a menu where you will specify details about the date range you are blocking. Unchecking ALL DAY will allow you to block only a specified time frame. Leaving it checked allows you to block an entire day. After choosing the days or time frame you would like to block, select SAVE.
You are able to edit or delete a blocked range as well. On the Blocked Days page, hovering over a previously blocked day will bring up the icons to delete and edit.

|Michelle Boccanfuso Nanouche, CSB Christian Science Practitioner & Teacher
Mother at school
At the time our daughter started the fourth grade in a new school, I was traveling extensively for work. Frequent absences left me feeling disconnected from her daily life and wondering if she was getting the support and care that I as her mom should be giving her. Although she had a hands-on dad who happily covered all the bases, I bore much guilt, and this led to a combination of hovering over her when I was home and worrying when I was away. Find the Christian Science Monitor article here that tells you what I did about it.
Find me on YouTube
I have practiced Christian Science professionally in
some form since 1979.
But my journey with
Christian Science started
in a Sunday school
where as a young child
I was taught the Scriptures and some simple basics
of Jesus' method of
scientific Christian healing.
A significant experience
at the age of twelve
opened my eyes to
the great potential
of this practice.
After impaling my foot
on a nail,
I prayed the way I had learned
in Sunday school.
Within moments
the pain stopped
and healing began.
By the next morning the wound had disappeared completely.
Having experienced
the great potential
of Christian Science,
there would be no
turning back.

Bitcoin is trading at a record high on Monday, up 3.92% at $US3,356 a coin.
It has gained about 80% over the past month, shaking off fears that a fork in the cryptocurrency would cause its price to plummet.
These kinds of astronomical gains in bitcoin, it turns out, are correlated with a strong showing by stocks too, according to Nautilus Investment Research.
To be more specific, the firm says that of the 18 previous instances when bitcoin returned at least 30% in a month, the S&P 500 was higher 15 times two months later and 17 times three months out, averaging gains of 3.61% and 4.66%, respectively.
What explains this? Nautilus doesn't offer a reason, but it does note that it could just be that bitcoin is a "barometer for animal spirits in the markets."
In other words, when traders are going nuts about a highly-speculative investment like bitcoin, that same risk-loving attitude might turn up among the folks who trade stocks. What we can't know from this is whether one affects the other, or if there's something else driving strong demand for both.
Though Nautilus only has 18 points of reference, it's worth noting that these go all the way back to 2010, so the backdrop for the rallies — the strength of the economy, investor sentiment, and Trump — haven't all been the same. Of course, bitcoin hasn't been around that long so we don't know how this correlation will hold up in the long-term.
Bitcoin has had a blazing start to 2017. Through the first seven-plus months of the year it has gained 257%.

Greetings and Salutations
As you may have noticed on our newly updated website, I am the "new guy" here at Kinslow Vet Clinic. My name is Steve Shirley and I graduated from Auburn's College of Veterinary Medicine less than 3 months ago. I've been employed here for nearly 2 months, and I must say, it has been an absolute joy thus far working with the awesome staff and learning from the other 3 doctors. It has always been stressed to me that I would learn more during the first 6 months of practice than all 4 years of vet school combined. I'm finding myself agreeing more and more with this montra every day. Nonetheless, I look forward to further developing relationships not only with my colleagues here at the clinic, but also you guys (the clients) and your animals.
Working as a mixed-animal veterinarian, I have the opportunity to care for a wide array of species. Just last week my day entailed treating a lame horse, a snot-nosed cow, several itchy dogs and cats, and a limping peacock! Those type days is what appealed to me about being a mixed-animal vet in the first place. I enjoy having the opportunity to work a herd of charolais cattle and then walk into an exam room to treat a few domestic short hair kittens (after changing clothes of course). Therefore, I'll reiterate that I'm excited to be here in Lebanon and to work diligently for every single one of our hard working clients.
Over and out,
Dr. Steve Shirley

The Art of Symmetry in Architecture
Symmetry is a very important element when it comes to architecture. Using symmetry in architecture is great for creating balance, interest and dimension. You can keep the design from being too plain by mixing in small details in order to create a touch difference. Take a look at a few ways the art of symmetry can be used in architecture:
Create importance: Symmetry in architecture is a wonderful way to create importance and emphasize different areas of a space. The symmetry used in this home naturally draws the eye towards the middle of the home and highlights the center portion without much effort.
Add a relaxed feeling: In addition to creating importance and order in a space, symmetry is also perfect for creating relaxation. Since there are no shifting planes or overlapping volumes, the eye is allowed to relax and respond naturally to a building.
Make a space feel larger: Symmetry can also be used inside the home to make a smaller space feel larger. The fixed layout creates order in a space, which can make a smaller space feel larger because the eye is focusing more on the relaxed design versus the size of the area.
If you are interested learning more about architecture needs in Steamboat Springs, contact Vertical Arts today.

What a win for the good guys. The Bi-Ringed Mouth Breather from the Bayou finally got his comeuppance, Tony Romo executed like a champ when it mattered, DeMarco Murray was DeMarco Murray, and the defense held up its end of the bargain by keeping the Giants' offense at bay much of the game. Now let's go to the tape for a few observations and some postgame trophies.
Premature Emasculation: If you were lucky enough to catch the pregame, you were treated to the completely relevant sounds of No Doubt, replete with Gwen Stefani and her trademark Scottish mudflap. How does NBC decide the musicians for their Sunday Night Football broadcast? By locking a group of mid-20s girls in a room with a case of Boones Farm and scented candles? NBC has now rolled through the following acts during pregame/opening: Pink, Faith Hill, and now the aforementioned No Doubt. I'd rather listen to "5-Star Combo" on repeat than suffer that cochlear pummeling.
Jason Witten, PHD (Pretty Hardass Dude): I would hate to be the person forced to deliver a medical opinion to Jason Witten. I bet that before they told Jason about his status, the doctors drew straws to see who'd have to break the news and be subsequently thrown through a window.
The D Rizes Like The Fenix: Let me tell you why this Cowboys defense has me knee jerking like a freshly-branded Clydesdale: The fact that Demarcus Ware had two sacks on top of living in and around Eli Manning's general area. The fact that Bruce Carter looks like the very legit yin to Sean Lee's yang. The fact that Brandon Carr flung his arm off of Domenik Hixon late in the game with such disdain, you'd think he's been suiting up for the star-clad lads for a decade. The fact that Rob Ryan is Kenny Powers in about 15 years.
There is still plenty of work to do (getting bailed out by Victor Cruz helped), but that was a pleasant surprise.
Round 1 of Manning vs. Romo; Romo Wins: Aside from a hurried pass directly into coverage for a pick, Romo owned Manning in every statistical category. With a passer rating of 129.5 (a perfect rating is 158.3), Romo played the Giants D like a cheap xylophone. First and 30? Let me go ahead and throw a Skywalker to Miles Austin for a touchdown. Even though the offensive line tried to shoot the wheels off drives one penalty at a time, Romo fought through and found the open receivers. He even flashed some of those deceptive wheels on a couple of keepers. I hope he did something much more unsavory than sign the wall of the locker room.
And now let's dish out a few awards:
Fill-In of the Millenium: Ryan Cook. Remember how well Cook played during the preseason? Of course you don't; he was playing for the Dolphins until last Thursday. He received his playbook on Friday, which was co-authored by Jason Garrett and Merriam-Webster. Less than a week later, he's pressed into duty on the second offensive series after Phil Costa's gimpy back started acting up again. I'd be shocked if he even knows the names of the rest of the lineman. The fact that Romo didn't get annihilated by that insane Giants front seven is a miracle.

Guy Who's Already Off The Fantasy Waiver Wire As You Read This: Kevin Ogletree. After three seasons of zero touchdown football, Ogletree picked a nice time to ramp up his fantasy production. With a beefy 114 yards and two scores, Dallas' Ochocinco led all receivers in sheer stats. It wasn't just the numbers though, it was the situations. Several of Ogletree's grabs came on third down early when the Cowboys' ground game was still finding it's rhythm. In case you were wondering, his contract is up after this season, so expect the Jags to break out the spotted checkbook to give KO his payday this summer.
Best Special Effects: NBC's CGI crew for their shockingly life-like piece, "Bob Costas." There's no way that is Bob Costas up there doing the pregame interviews. That soft, cherubic face and finely manicured mop must be 70 years old by now. I'm convinced instead that it's Andy Serkis in a body suit with motion capture balls dotting his face like Hellraiser, voiced by Bob Costas from inside an iron lung.
The dark clouds that have sat over Jerry World have dissipated for one week. It'll be interesting to see if the Cowboys can make it a streak up in Raintown next week against the suddenly-chic Seahawks.

The Introspective Life...
Fri, 19 Oct 2012 05:06:21
"Now, which way do we go?"
I want to apologize to readers, or I want to apologize to myself.
Self, I am sorry for spending so much time in the USA, Guatemala and the Dominican Republic in the last year. I left Africa on April 25, 2011, this last year has been introspective torture.
I fly to Thailand on October 23rd, and onto West Africa around December 8, 2012, I can see light at the end of the tunnel.
"The unexamined life is not worth living."
- Socrates
I pasted the quote onto the page.
"The unexamined life is not worth living."
- Socrates
That is a rather serious, and alarming thing to say, and for what it is worth, I am examining my life today.
There are people who live their whole life without asking the question,
"Now, which way do I go?"
The world has changed, I have trouble even finding people, there is a "Novation of Opinions" to a cell phone, I need to leave the "West" behind, it is not a want.
Many people ask me why I travel, and there is no pat answer, but the other day I found myself saying,
"I wanted to live a life worth living."
Thank you,
Andy Graham

Joy isn't bothered by animated ads on web sites but Bob can't stand them; he makes a mental note never to deal with any company that uses them.
If you're like Bob, there are several ways to clock them. If you use the Mozilla "Firefox" browser (Mozilla.com), you can download their free Ad Blocker and this works quite well. We found that a few ads get through the filter, but only a very few. No animated ads got through. Remember: you can have as many web browsers as you like on your computer; they don't interfere with each other.
If you're using the new Internet Explorer 8, the "InPrivate" feature works like an ad blocker. You can enable it by holding down the "CNTRL" and "Shift" keys and tapping the "F" key. Another way to remove all advertising from a site is a favorite of Bob's. If you pull down the "File" menu at the top of the Windows screen, one of your choices is "print preview." If you select that, only the text and graphics within the article appear, all ads are wiped out.
Another way to do it is to use the mouse to select just the part of a web page that you want. Do control-c to save it to the clipboard, then paste it into Word or any other word processor.

Webster (and Co Ltd)
Location and period of operation:
Webster (and Co Ltd)
(See sources)
Earthenware manufacturer at the Swan Pottery, High Street, Tunstall.
Previously: Colclough & Lingard (1887-1900)
By the time of Daniel Lingard's death in 1913 the company was named "Lingard Webster & Jones"The obit refers to the firm as " Lingard, Webster & Jones." and a 1954 newspaper article refers to " Lingard, Jones & Webster".Arthur George Jones of Greenbank House, Greenbank Road, Burslem described as earthenware manufacture was his executor in his will and on the grant of probate.
See more details on Daniel Lingard
Daniel Lingard joined with James Colclough , Pottery, Tunstall, c 1887 and then formed a company with James Webster (son-in-law to James Colclough) in 1900 [Colclough retained an interest in the works], which lasted until 1972 period.
They produced tea ware pottery and made their name with 'poor-mans-Crown Derby' being an Amari pattern pottery which was exported all over the world and were very successful until the beginning of the second world war (1939) after which it had to compete with many other companies and eventually went out of business when the pottery was pulled down to make way for a new roundabout road scheme in the centre of Tunstall, Stoke-on-Trent.
Originally promoting themselves as "The Teapot Specialists of England Since 1867", they were noted for producing everyday
tea service products and associated teawares. The Company made many fine novelty teapots in the period 1935-1955.
After the 1950s the firm ceased production of its novelty teapot range and concentrated on teapot wares, making normal type teapots.
Clarice Cliff was apprenticed as an enameller in 1912 at Lingard Webster's factory, at a wage of one shilling a week. After three years she moved to work as a lithographer at Hollinshead and Kirkham.

Marilyn Hartman, known for repeatedly attempting to stow away on flights from San Francisco International Airport to the Hawaiian Islands, successfully sneaked onto a flight from San Jose's Mineta International Airport to LAX, where she was promptly arrested Monday, officials said.
While details were sketchy, police say Hartman, 62, was able to circumvent security checkpoints, something that usually requires multiple reviews of tickets and identification, removal of shoes and belts and sometimes a pat-down or chemical scan.
Upon arrival in Los Angeles, a crew member aboard Southwest Airlines flight 3785 noticed that something was amiss and reported Hartman to police as an unticketed passenger, according to a statement from the airline.
Hartman was arrested by the Los Angeles Airport Police Department and was being held by the L.A. Sheriff's Office on $500 bail on an undisclosed misdemeanor charge.
Rep. Eric Swalwell, D-Dublin, a member of the House Committee on Homeland Security, saw the lapse as indicative of a system that needs more robust security measures.
"Passenger safety in the sky relies upon effective security on the ground. That means only a screened and ticketed passenger should ever be able to board an airplane," he said in a statement. "Fortunately, this ticketless passenger was harmless. However, we may not be as lucky next time and must do everything possible to protect the traveling public."
The Transportation Security Administration said in a statement that Hartman was screened for security purposes to make sure she wasn't a threat to passengers, and that minor changes to the layout of the document-checking area would be made to ensure no one could get past security.
Hartman was busted six times this year, three times for attempting to board flights from SFO to Hawaii and three times for loitering at the airport.
Hartman pleaded no contest in May to trespassing and violation of a court order barring her from SFO, both misdemeanors, in connection with an incident March 26 in which authorities found her sitting in baggage claim in Terminal 3 after she had been barred from the airport.
She was referred to Redwood House, a facility where she could be treated for mental illness, said San Mateo County District Attorney Steve Wagstaffe. He acknowledged that the treatment center "is not a locked facility. Thus, she could walk away."
In April, a 15-year-old boy scaled a fence at the San Jose airport and stowed away in a wheel well on a flight to Hawaii, miraculously surviving the five-hour flight in temperatures well below zero. That incident prompted a review of perimeter security at the airport.

Today's aerial views of Jackson in 1941 come from the C.W. Witbeck Collection at MDAH, conveniently scanned for us and available online on Flickr. Those of you familiar with Jackson will see immediately that Mr. Witbeck took these from high atop the Tower or Standard Life Building, one of three 1929 skyscrapers that went up in Jackson in 1929. Both of the others are visible in these pictures. Which two buildings are they? I believe you can also see the original Alamo Theater on Amite Street (3rd photo down, which is facing north toward the Farish Street neighborhood).
According to MDAH's Flickr description for the Witbeck collection:
The Witbeck, C. W., Photograph Collection depicts people and places in towns and cities throughout Mississippi dating from 1911 through 1955.

Vapor industry taxation
My vaping family. Once again, Utah is about to come under attack from the legislation. We heard via a recent city council meeting that Representative Ray is drafting a taxation bill for the upcoming legislative session. As you all know, he attempted to tax us twice previously and we were able to defeat it however both times it was very close. Based on historical evidence, there will be another attempt to tax all products sold in Utah at 86.5% of wholesale cost which will nearly double the purchase price of every product sold AND manufactured in the state. This affects everyone. Every e-liquid manufacturer. Every distributor. Every retail shop. And worst of all, over 20,000 of our Utah vaping family.
We need to get everyone on board NOW to fight this back. Despite what many believe, beating legislation does not begin during the session, it begins BEFORE it even begins. The next 3 months will be critical in our ability to ensure our industry remains without a punitive excise tax put into place to protect the tobacco industry. The only way we can win, is for every business owner to get involved immediately. If we lose this battle, the Utah industry will be shut down by next summer. Ask yourselves, do you want to remain in this industry more than 8 more months? Are you a consumer and truly value the industry that has changed your life?
To get involved, visit our membership page immediately. We offer full membership into the association or varying levels of sponsorship. All funds collected go into the organization to pay for the lobbyists that fight for YOUR rights to remain in business or to keep vaping accessible and remain free of combustible tobacco. What is your business worth? What's your life worth?
For more information on membership or sponsorships, please visit the membership page: http://utsmokefree.org/directory/professional/

When we are in distress, when are in peril, we rely on our first responders. Firefighters. Paramedics. Police. And, the dispatchers who sort through often-harrowing calls and stay on the line until help arrives.
It is tempting to view these men and women as invincible heroes in white capes. And indeed, heroes they are. But they, like the rest of us, are not invincible. They have their kryptonite, too.
Now, most of us subscribe to the belief – or practice – of not bringing the job home. Work is work, we tell ourselves, and home is home.
Regrettably for some among us, notably our first responders, this is often not possible. The sights, sounds, and experiences of the day can cling; and in some cases they take root and haunt the emotions.
Before we get in to the current state of affairs, it is worth casting our eye back into history for a bit.
The idea of stress-induced trauma took many decades – and wars – to gain credibility. Many returning soldiers came home with terrible (but invisible) psychological damage, often made manifest in alcohol/substance abuse, social and family dysfunction and – all too frequently – suicide.
While the links between wartime experience and emotional problems seemed obvious from a common-sense point of view, there was denial. Whether because of pride or ignorance, what later came to be known as Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) was ridiculed; sufferers were generally viewed as congenitally weak. They were stigmatized.
I know that first hand. Most of my male relatives – uncles, grandfathers – were soldiers, and most came home in emotional turmoil. In some cases, this took years to incubate, but eventually PTSD symptoms showed up – and were denied.
We live in a more enlightened age. While there are still those who think PTSD is a myth (these folks also fear the edges of a flat Earth), overwhelming clinical evidence points to its reality. Furthermore, as science gets more sophisticated at recognizing subtle symptoms, the range and degree of causative experience becomes broader.
Thus we come to our first responders.
We need not dwell too deeply on what they do for us. Rather, we should think about what we can do for them. After all, they work for us – for the governments we pay for and which should be responsive to public concerns. It falls to us, then, to ensure are first responders are given care and support beyond the wages they earn.
First, in each firehall, police station, paramedic unit, there ought to be one person on staff trained to recognize the signs of work-related emotional trauma. Just as there is a designated first aid staffer in most offices, so too ought there be an individual uniquely trained in psychological issues in our first responders' places of work.
Second, there is stigma everywhere – including in the first responder community. Those folks experiencing the effects of emotional turmoil may often be reluctant to make that fact known, because a small number of peers may react in an unhelpful way.
Again, publicly funded training must be made available so the utterly avoidable matter of stigma may be dealt with in an informed and adult way.
By lobbying our politicians for these things, we might be able to give back a fraction of what our first responders give us.

Our opinion: New requirements for voter IDs and other rules and restrictions should be seen for what they are — an assault by Republicans on curtail voting rights, and a selective one at that. It's an heavy-handed tactic by a party that purports to stand for smaller government.
The people who would save us from the supposedly rampant voter fraud in America tend to be long on scare tactics and short on statistics. Perhaps they don't talk about numbers because the real figures are so unimpressive.
Here's a number, though, that ought to make an impression: 98 million.
That's how many eligible voters didn't show up for the last presidential election. It's more than 42 percent of the electorate.
The real problem with elections in America isn't that the wrong people are voting. It's that too many people don't vote. The last thing we ought to be doing is devising more reasons to discourage people from going to the polls.
Unfortunately, and disturbingly, that's becoming the trend. More and more states, the vast majority of them controlled by Republicans, are moving to require people to produce photo identification when they vote or otherwise make it difficult for people to exercise this most basic right and responsibility in a democracy.
We urge New York, where similar bills have been proposed, not to join this bandwagon. Except for certain school votes, which are regulated by education law, not election law, the state doesn't require ID at the polls, and it shouldn't.
We also call on the U.S. Justice Department to watch this trend and, where possible, fight it as vigorously as it once fought segregation and other civil rights violations. These laws threaten to be just as insidious as literacy tests and poll taxes.
The Brennan Center for Justice at New York University's School of Law attempts in a new report to measure the potential impact of these laws. Based on estimates of such things as how many people lack government-issued photo IDs, the report says that more than 5 million people could be affected by the new rules. That's more than the margin of victory in the popular vote in six of the 13 presidential elections from 1960 to 2008.
The new rules include requirements for photo IDs in Kansas, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, and Wisconsin. An estimated 3.2 million voters in those states lack acceptable identification, the report notes. New rules require proof of citizenship (Alabama, Kansas, Tennessee); restrict voter registration drives (Florida and Texas); repeal of Election Day voter registration (Maine); and end early voting (Florida, Georgia and Ohio);
What many of these rules are likely to do is discourage people who are already on the political and societal margins — such as students who have never voted before, and poor people who are busy enough just staying alive without having to get a special ID to vote.
It's revealing that the people most likely to be affected by these rules tend to be Democratic voters. And it's ironic that these heavy-handed tactics are being pushed and passed by a party that talks so much about reining in big, intrusive government and preserving freedom.
Proponents of these rules are hard pressed to cite credible evidence of widespread fraud, voting by non-citizens or other irregularities. We're not saying these things don't happen. What we're saying is that solving a few isolated problems with laws that could impair the voting rights of millions of people is like using a chain saw to remove a splinter. It's bad for the body politic.

Skip to 0 minutes and 2 seconds [No narration with this video] Hisako Uchimura is a traditional Hosokawa papermaker. At her workshop located in Chichibu, Saitama, she will show us how to make paper. First, she's making neri, a starchy substance by pounding the roots of an aikiba plant (tororo-aoi) and soaking it in the water. The liquid coming out by straining it through a cloth becomes neri that then works as the dispersant. This is suki-bune, a papermaking boat. The fibers made from mulberry are put into water in the boat then, after using a tool to stir well. Next, she adds the neri which she prepared before and once again stirs the mixture well. Next, the su, a flexible screen on sugeta, settles to make a papermaking mold.
Skip to 1 minute and 59 seconds Sugeta is hanging from the bamboo bar above the sukibune. Neri helps fibers to be distributed in the water evenly. She draws water multiple times to make layers of fibers. The more water she draws, the thicker the paper becomes. Afterwards, the sugeta is taken out from the mold, and the finished, wet paper is piled up. Don't worry about the piles of papers sticking together. That is also a result of the neri. This was the process of the nagashizuki style. Next, you will see tamezuki style. First, settling a flexible screen settles on the mold. In this style, Ms. Uchimura draws water only once and then strains. neri is not used with the tamezuki style.
Skip to 4 minutes and 29 seconds The finished wet paper is put between clothes to prevent sticking. The next step is drying. The wet papers are put on the stainless dry board.
Skip to 5 minutes and 0 seconds The completed papers will be sold in the market with the stamp of authentication as official Hosokawa paper.
Production methods: ways to make paper
The next stage is the actual papermaking (sheet-formation) process.
The second stage - making paper
The two main methods to make paper are the "pouring" or gyōshi method and the "dipping" or shōshi method. The shōshi method is used to make Washi papers.
Please watch the video to see the two contemporary papermaking styles, tamezuki and nagashizuki, both categorized in the shōshi method.
Note that the video does not include any audio narration. Please turn on the subtitles to see the explanation of the video in English or Japanese.
The two main papermaking methods
The gyōshi or "pouring" method: the earliest method consists of beating the fibers to obtain a pulp, adding water to it and then filtering it out.
The shōshi or "dipping" method: the fibers are placed in a vat filled with water and distributed evenly; then they are scooped up using a flexible screen (su); the process is repeated several times until the desired thickness is reached. Both the tamezuki and nagasizuki styles that you've seen in the video are examples of this method.
Two styles - nagashizuki and tamezuki
(Left) fig.1. Nagashizuki (Right) fig.2. Tamezuki
Whereas tamezuki style gives thick paper, the nagashizuki style produces thin paper. The Japan-made, extra-thin tengujōshi, the world's thinnest paper, is used by restorers worldwide including at the Vatican.
In Japanese nagashizuki-style papermaking, neri (a glutinous vegetable substance) is added to the water as a dispersant (in China, neri is known as zhiyao, or, "paper medicine"). A smooth, level layer of fibers is created by allowing the fibers to spread evenly in the water. Ways of spreading the fiber vary by place. In Europe, most manufacturers do not use dispersing agents and distribute the fibers by raising the temperature in the vat thereby causing flows of water.
The shape and size of the flexible screen (sunoko or simply su) also varies by area. The sunoko leaves horizontal line marks on the paper that are traditionally called su-no-me (su marks).
The third stage - drying
For the third stage, drying, in Japan the sheets are placed on wooden boards. In China and Korea, they were usually pasted on a wall. In Europe, they were hung on ropes. Different materials and manufacturing methods give the paper different characteristics which in turn affect their use in bookmaking.
Hosokawa-shi (Hosokawa paper)
The papermaking establishment shown in the video is a manufacturer of "Hosokawa paper" (Hosokawa-shi) located in the Chichibu area of Saitama prefecture. Kindly making paper for us is the traditional papermaker Hisako Uchimura. The name Hosokawa paper comes from the town of Hosokawa, near Mount Koya in Kishū (today's Wakayama prefecture) where this technique originated.
As introduced in Step 1.8, many paper varieties are named after the region where they were first made.

Fit Dog Fitness Tips: Add Intensity for a Boost
Doing similar workouts each day can lead to boredom, both mentally and physically, for both you and your dog. Most of us get into daily routines and habits and if we aren't careful, we end up doing the same exercises at the same intensity for days if not weeks in a row. Although this is certainly better than skipping your and your dog's daily exercise, we recommend mixing in some more intense sessions every so often to keep things interesting and your bodies fit. We were reminded of this recently by our Pilates instructor who suggested that next week's workout be a "no springs day".
No Springs Day for an Intense Workout
No springs day has nothing to do with the seasons nor with the source of drinking water. It is a reference to a piece of Pilates equipment, called the Wunda Chair, that is used to perform some pretty serious exercises.
For some background, the Wunda Chair is a small bench with springs that are used to add assistance and enable Pilates students to perform a series of body weight movements that they would otherwise be unable to perform. As the student progresses, they are (in theory) able to lower the springs and thus force the athlete to use more and more of their body weight.
During the end of a recent Pilates workout, a circuit of pretty intense movements using six different pieces of equipment including the Wunda, my instructor made the suggestion that next week would be no springs day. She said this while I was wiping the sweat off of my brow and the floor- evidence that I was working hard with the springs. I just smiled and nodded my head. After all, it had been awhile since I went "no springs" and I figured it would be great to amp up the intensity and keep me motivated and challenged.
Making your Dog's Workout Intense and Interesting
The idea of a no springs day can easily apply to your dog's workout. No, I am not suggesting that your dog gets on the Wunda Chair, although I am sure some of you have dogs that could do so. Rather, I am recommending that you mix in some higher intensity surprises every now and then to keep the both of you from slipping into boredom. Here are some suggestions on how to do that:
- Run faster. For those runners out there, try increasing your normal pace as much as your dog can handle. SlimDoggy Jack and I will normally run 3-4 miles at about 9 minutes per mile. Every now and then, especially when we both seem to feel fresh, we will try and cut a minute per mile off of our pace. Jack actually seems to enjoy it. At least when we are done.
- Mix in sprints. Another option is to mix in short intervals of sprints throughout the run. Try to hold the sprint for at least 50 yards or more. These can really amp up your heart rates.
- Walk or hike faster. Speeding up your walking pace is an easy way to up the intensity of your workout. Keep your dog's leash 'short' and establish a brisk tempo from the start so that your dog can quickly come to understand your intention. I bet they will appreciate the challenge.
- Add a new movement to the routine. Adding a new movement can really challenge your dog both mentally and physically. Try some of the exercises that we have recommended in the past. For example, the Labby Limbo, the Elevated Touch, or some core work. Or try some new agility drills.
- Add a new route to the run/walk. Simply mixing up the location can bring about renewed enthusiasm, for both you and your dog. This can often translate to a more intense experience and will definitely keep things from getting boring.
- Play some fun and intense games. Try adding a game of chase or fetch after your regular walk. Most dogs love these games and they provide them with short bursts of intensity. Even better, get involved yourself and run around like a kid.
Try adding some new elements or intensity (or both) to your dog's workout 1-2 times per month in order to achieve the benefits of increased calorie burn and fitness.
What do you do to keep your dog's workouts interesting? Have you consciously tried to mix in a no springs type of day into the weekly routine? Maybe if enough of you are committed, we can have a no springs FitDog Friday and kick some collective ass (together).Please enjoy our FitDog Friday Blog Hop brought to you by SlimDoggy and our co-hosts To Dog with Love and My GBGV Life. Join the Hop or just enjoy the links below - lots of fun fitness tips and advice!

We're lucky to live in a town surrounded on all sides (except the lake side) by steep hills. If you want to go any distance, you've got to tackle hills. Not only do we get to work harder when we climb one of the gorge trails, but we're rewarded with a beautiful view at the end.
Personally, I used to increase the intensity of my runs by speeding up when I passed another runner so I looked more like a cool kid instead of a jogging old lady. Since there are a lot of runners in my town, it was a pretty frequent increase in intensity from my usual slow jog.
See, sometimes pride is a good thing. 🙂

In the "mix it up" area, even walking on the other side of the street gives a dog new things to smell.
We mix things up quite a bit. The usual walking and running, but some sprints, some balance work, swimming now and then, hill work, we haven't gotten bored yet 😉

The pups always love when I turn up the pace for sprints at the beach, but I tire way before they do and I can never get far before they catch me. I need an extra pair of legs.
Great tips, always looking to spice up a workout for Kilo.
Mom says Ouch! looking at those photos! I know she tries to mix things up with our walks so those are very good tips, thanks! Love Dolly

I am one of those who falls into the habit of doing the same workouts at the same intensity, and then I never really see an improvement in my fitness. (I don't think I've gotten any worse, either, at least.) When I'm running with high-energy, fast dogs, I do try to add some sprints into the mix. They love it!
With Ace, I try to get him to step onto different obstacles every now and then like benches, playground equipment, steps, etc. He thinks that's great!
Lindsay recently posted…My dog is scared, so he must've been abused
I like taking Mr. N to walk different places because I get bored and I'm sure he does too.
Autumn is Harley's favorite season, this is the time of year that he doesn't mind long walks and steep hills. We will actually spend more time visiting parks and exploring new territory than we do any other season. Harley's not a long jogger, so we take many breaks in between, but he gets it in "eventually" BOL
I was just thinking the other day when I was in the yard with the dogs, that if I just did exactly what they did, I'd probably get a good workout! Luke especially switches things up by sometimes running harder, or just doing different things when playing. He's definitely on the right track….and I like all the ideas you gave here too. I agree it's important to keep from getting bored with the same old thing all the time.

I would say our Upland season is something that is more demanding than the brown dawgs' usual training. They are moving quickly through the forest and over obstacles like dead trees and brush. It is also a workout for humans who have to follow behind. 🙂
