5 Tips for Preventing Osteoporosis
By Rebekah Rotstein
According to the National Osteoporosis Foundation, one in two women and one in four men over 50 are expected to experience a fracture from osteoporosis in their lives. These stats can be a wake-up call to those middle-aged and older. Yet did you know that osteoporosis can occur at any age? We reach our peak bone mass in our early 30s, making prevention of bone loss a relevant topic for younger people as well. May is National Osteoporosis Awareness & Prevention Month—a good time for everyone to pay attention to bone health.
You can help raise awareness on the importance of bone health by starting with your clients. If they're doing Pilates, they've got a great start on a healthy lifestyle, which is key to building and preserving bone strength. Here are my top 5 important tips for bone health:
1. Exercise with specificity
Include both weight-bearing and resistance training in your exercise regimen. Add extra standing exercises into your programming along with hip, back, shoulder and wrist strengthening. Try Pilates exercises like Climb a Mountain, Side Splits, Chest Expansion, Leg Pulls and Swimming. Include weight training. Mix up your regimen with varying movements. Engage in high-impact activities (assuming you haven't experienced a fracture) since impact stimulates bone formation. And throw in some balance exercises which can decrease the risk of falls – try Standing Leg Pumps and even close your eyes for additional challenge.
2. Eat for your bones
Add extra fruits and vegetables (especially dark leafy greens) to your meals and get your daily dose of calcium, vitamin D and magnesium along with other nutrients. The National Osteoporosis Foundation recommends 1,000 mg of calcium and 400-800 IU of vitamin D daily for adults under age 50, and 1,200 mg of calcium and 800-1,000 IU of vitamin D daily for adults age 50 and older. (Remember that those guidelines, particularly for calcium, include intake from food.) Reduce the amount of acid-forming foods you consume, like animal protein and sugar, which can stimulate bone breakdown. And watch out for too much sodium and caffeine which can lead to over-excretion of calcium.
3. Skip the soda and smokes
Avoid bone-depleting colas and cigarettes which eat away at the foundation of your skeleton. Colas leech calcium from your bones, cigarettes damage your bones via toxic nicotine and cadmium, and both cola and cigarettes interfere with absorption of vital bone-building nutrients.
4. Find daily enjoyment
Research shows a link between depression and low bone density, and high levels of the stress hormone cortisol can weaken your bones. So meditate, laugh, dance or do whatever puts a smile on your face.
5. Teach your children
True osteoporosis prevention begins in childhood and adolescence. This is when we develop most of our bone density to last us the rest of our lives! So let's not only help ourselves and our parents, but teach our children and grandchildren the importance of healthy bone habits. Share these tips with them or point them to Best Bones Forever, a bone health campaign for girls ages 9-14.

Phys Ed: The Best Exercises for Healthy Bones
By GRETCHEN REYNOLDS
Digital Images/Getty Images
Several weeks ago, The Journal of the American Medical Association published a study that should give pause to anyone who plans to live a long and independent life. The study looked at the incidence of hip fractures among older Americans and the mortality rates associated with them. Although the number of hip fractures has declined in recent decades, the study found that the 12-month mortality rate associated with the injury still hovers at more than 20 percent, meaning that, in the year after fracturing a hip, about one in five people over age 65 will die.
Meanwhile, another group of articles, published this month as a special section of Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise, the journal of the American College of Sports Medicine, underscore why that statistic should be relevant even to active people who are years, or decades, away from eligibility for Medicare. The articles detailed a continuing controversy within the field of sports science about exactly how exercise works on bone and why sometimes, apparently, it doesn't.
"There was a time, not so long ago," when most researchers assumed "that any and all activity would be beneficial for bone health," says Dr. Daniel W. Barry, an assistant professor of medicine at the University of Colorado, at Denver, and a researcher who has studied the bones of the elderly and of athletes. Then came a raft of unexpected findings, some showing that competitive swimmers had lower-than-anticipated bone density, others that, as an earlier Phys Ed column pointed out, competitive cyclists sometimes had fragile bones and, finally, some studies suggesting, to the surprise of many researchers, that weight lifting did not necessarily strengthen bones much. In one representative study from a few years ago, researchers found no significant differences in the spine or neck-bone densities of young women who did resistance-style exercise training (not heavy weight lifting) and a similar group who did not.
Researchers readily admit that they don't fully understand why some exercise is good for bones and some just isn't. As the articles in this month's Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise make clear, scientists actually seem to be becoming less certain about how exercise affects bone. Until fairly recently, many thought that the pounding or impact that you get from running, for instance, deformed the bone slightly. It bowed in response to the forces moving up the leg from the ground, stretching the various bone cells and forcing them to adapt, usually by adding cells, which made the bone denser. This, by the way, is how muscle adapts to exercise. But many scientists now think that that process doesn't apply to bones. "If you stretch bone cells" in a Petri dish, says Alexander G. Robling, an assistant professor in the department of anatomy and cell biology at Indiana University School of Medicine and the author of an article in Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise, "you have to stretch them so far to get a response that the bone would break."
So he and many other researchers now maintain that bone receives the message to strengthen itself in response to exercise by a different means. He says that during certain types of exercise, the bone bends, but this doesn't stretch cells; it squeezes fluids from one part of the bone matrix to another. The extra fluid inspires the cells bathed with it to respond by adding denser bone.

Why should it matter what kind of message bones are receiving? Because, Professor Robling and others say, only certain types of exercise adequately bend bones and move the fluid to the necessary bone cells. An emerging scientific consensus seems to be, he says, that "large forces released in a relatively big burst" are probably crucial. The bone, he says, "needs a loud signal, coming fast." For most of us, weight lifting isn't explosive enough to stimulate such bone bending. Neither is swimming. Running can be, although for unknown reasons, it doesn't seem to stimulate bone building in some people. Surprisingly, brisk walking has been found to be effective at increasing bone density in older women, Dr. Barry says. But it must be truly brisk. "The faster the pace," he says — and presumably the greater the bending within the bones — the lower the risk that a person will fracture a bone.
There seems to be a plateau, however, that has also surprised and confounded some researchers. Too much endurance exercise, it appears, may reduce bone density. In one small study completed by Dr. Barry and his colleagues, competitive cyclists lost bone density over the course of a long training season. Dr. Barry says that it's possible, but not yet proved, that exercise that is too prolonged or intense may lead to excessive calcium loss through sweat. The body's endocrine system may interpret this loss of calcium as serious enough to warrant leaching the mineral from bone. Dr. Barry is in the middle of a long-term study to determine whether supplementing with calcium-fortified chews before and after exercise reduces the bone-thinning response in competitive cyclists. He expects results in a year or so.
In the meantime, the current state-of-the-science message about exercise and bone building may be that, silly as it sounds, the best exercise is to simply jump up and down, for as long as the downstairs neighbor will tolerate. "Jumping is great, if your bones are strong enough to begin with," Dr. Barry says. "You probably don't need to do a lot either." (If you have any history of fractures or a family history of osteoporosis, check with a physician before jumping.) In studies in Japan, having mice jump up and land 40 times during a week increased their bone density significantly after 24 weeks, a gain they maintained by hopping up and down only about 20 or 30 times each week after that.
If hopping seems an undignified exercise regimen, bear in mind that it has one additional benefit: It tends to aid in balance, which may be as important as bone strength in keeping fractures at bay. Most of the time, Dr. Barry says, "fragile bones don't matter, from a clinical standpoint, if you don't fall down."
I lead a healthy lifestyle however like many women at my age, I have been losing bone density for the last several years. (maybe since menopause?)
I've been reluctant to try any prescription medication but a few years ago I gave in and my doctor prescribed Fosomax for me. I took it for a couple months but the side effects like nausea, diarreha and general muscle soreness were really affecting my day to day activities.
I stopped taking Fosomax and decided to go the more natural route. I began looking into the effects of resveratrol and after coming across this Journal of Biological Chemistry article (link to article listed below) I began taking a regimen of Resvantage resveratrol on a daily basis. There are many resveratrol supplements on the market but this one is physician recommended, made by Pfizer, and because the resveratrol is micronized it is 3.6x more effective than store bought brands.
That was 3 years ago and yearly tests have shown that I haven't had any further bone losses over that period of time. I have experienced no side effects; quite the opposite, resveratrol has me sleeping more soundly and I have added muscle mass which we tend to lose along with bone mass as we age. My mental acuity has improved as well.
Hi Bernice,
Thank you for the information and the research. Like you I suffer from osteoporosis and am exploring all of my options.
I have osteopenia. My doctor tells me that I can get the calcium I need in my diet, he does not advocate taking supplements. He does support exercise esp weight lifting and a good diet. WHAT SAY YOU?

In the way of actual action, very little interesting happened at the 2016 Texas Republican Convention, held at the now Exxxotica-free Key Bailey Hutchinson Convention Center. The state's activist GOPers managed to restrain themselves from supporting secession from the United States — yes, it was actually discussed as a potential platform plank — and affirmed Tom Mechler's position as the state chair, despite challenger Jared Woodfill supporters' claim that Mechler promoted a "disgusting homosexual agenda" by allowing the convention to take place in "homosexual-friendly" Dallas. There was no big backlash against presumptive GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump and Dan Patrick railed against trans people being given equal access to restrooms.
In a lot of ways, the convention was what one would expect, but that doesn't mean there wasn't some weird, wild stuff echoing through the convention hall. Here are 10 of the best lines that we collected so you didn't have to.
10. "For those that are discouraged, let me simply say this: truth will prevail. Texas will lead the way." — Ted Cruz, after serial liar Donald Trump defeated Cruz and each of the other 15 candidates in the GOP field to win the 2016 GOP nomination.
Thank You, @tedcruz!!! We love you! pic.twitter.com/O00ika88fU— Texas GOP (@TexasGOP) May 14, 2016
9. "Hey lady, the people of Texas do not want or need you messing around with our land, our water, our schools, our children, our businesses, our bank accounts and most especially, our bathrooms. There is one thing that Texas would like for you to do: Stay out of our state and leave us the heck alone." — Texas Agriculture Commissioner Sid Miller, currently under criminal investigation for misusing state funds, goes after Democratic front runner Hillary Clinton.
surely I'm not the first to notice Sid Miller's resemblance to a beloved Simpsons bit character pic.twitter.com/wMgclx2SHq— Dolph (@carb_uncle) April 18, 2016
8. "I heard a report that Obama is now on a diet. You might ask why I would know something as personal as Obama's diet. I know that Obama is on a strict diet because Putin is eating his lunch." — Ken Paxton, currently under felony indictment, tells a joke about President Obama.
7. "Yeah, me and every other piece of ass." — As reported by the Houston Chronicle's Brian Rosenthal, that's what a Texas GOP delegate said when a Trump staffer said "Trump loves you" and tried to give her a Trump sticker.
6. "I am going to vote for our nominee, not because of the man he is today, but because of the president I hope all of us can help him become." — Texas Railroad Commissioner Ryan Sitton, who apparently believes the long national nightmare of a Trump presidency would follow the plot of a lukewarm romantic comedy.

5. "Don't just vote aye, vote hell aye — for your children and grandchildren." — A delegate supporting adding the secessionist plank to the party platform during debate over the measure on Friday.
4. "Use them to clean evidence off your hard drive or sanitize your hands." — Booth workers at the convention hawking "Hillary Wipes."

3. "[The federal government has buried] state's rights at the bottom of a landfill under the bodies of murdered babies." — Another pro-secessionist delegate during Friday's floor fight, according to the Texas Observer .
2. "If schools don't knuckle down to force girls showering with boys and force 8-year-old girls to have to deal with boys coming into their bathroom, he is taking money from the poorest of the poor. The president of the United States will be ending the free breakfast and free lunch program." — Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick, getting serious about the White House saying that trans kids should be able to use the bathroom in which they feel safe.
1. "We need to come to grips with reality." — Texas Governor Greg Abbott, on why the state party needed to line up behind Donald Trump against Hillary Clinton. He could've been talking about any number of things.

This calls to mind the mysterious incident involving the grave of young Harry Spitz.
Just prior to the 1975 Independence Day festivities in Morgantown, West Virginia, a curious event occurred that would haunt locals for quite some time. The caretaker of the local cemetery noticed a pile of dirt among the graves at Oak Grove Cemetery that should not have been. Thinking some kids probably tore up some ground shooting off fireworks, he went to investigate. However, what he found mystified him.
It seemed a grave had been desecrated. The ground atop the site was torn up and the caretaker could see the vault thrusting outward. He promptly phoned the police to report an incident of vandalism. When the officers arrived, they were equally puzzled by the strange site. It really didn't look as if anyone had dug up a grave. Instead, it looked like something exploded outward. Somehow, the lid to a burial vault had erupted upward through the earth with such force as to burst through the soil and grass above, leaving the ground ripped and buckled. An examination of the site revealed no trace of an explosion either: no gunpowder residue or any signs of charred earth and vegetation.
The concern then shifted to the possibility of a natural gas eruption, but a review of the site by the local gas company eliminated this as well. However, it was revealed that a road once ran through this section of the cemetery and that when it was removed, the ground had been graded a few feet, meaning this grave was slightly more shallow than others.
The men examined the grave itself better. The vault had split at one corner, which might have forced the 3-inch thick slab lid to pop upward. But with enough force to erupt out of the ground? It didn't seem likely. Perhaps the build up of gases from decomposition had caused the expulsion, they wondered. Inside the vault, however, the men could see a child's coffin, still sealed and seemingly unmolested.
The child inside had once been Harry Spitz, who had died of cholera some 63 years prior. He still had relatives in the area, including a sister. An exhumation of the casket was granted in hopes that somehow this mystery could be lain to rest. Alas, opening the casket only presented further mysteries. The remarkably preserved body of Harry Spitz greeted onlookers. While his skin was somewhat leathery, it was intact and his face was framed by long blond hair. He wore a blue and white suit, a stuffed lion at his feet. And while the coffin lining had rotted away to shreds, Harry's vestments seemed in remarkably good shape. Tissue samples were taken to be examined by the morgue supervisor at West Virginia University Hospital, but no trace of living organisms were found to support the decomposition gas hypothesis. Besides, if such an event were to have occurred, it would have done so within the first couple of years - not 63 years later.
In short order, scientists from West Virginia University converged on the scene in hopes of finding an answer to the mystery. They couldn't. The region's rich coal mining was looked at, but no operations had ever been conducted in the vicinity of the grave. Methane was researched as well, but no traces were found. Natural gas was eliminated as well. No seismic tremors were recorded.
To further complicate matters, atop the casket lay the delicate, desiccated husk of a flower and a small commemorative plate. Neither of these objects were affixed to the coffin and would have slid off easily if the coffin were jostled even slightly.
At a loss for any explanation, the police chief thought back to a strange group of people who had been reported on several occasions holding séances or such within Oak Grove Cemetery. While not willing to believe they summoned up with great force some entity, he thought they might have done something to the grave.
But no answers were forthcoming and, on July 12, the body of young Harry Spitz was reinterred in a new vault. The strange event would linger over the town for years to come, casting a mysterious shadow over Oak Grove Cemetery.

text: OSC identifies compliance issues in KYC and suitability reviewsJune 6, 2013 Stikeman Elliott Last week, the Ontario Securities Commission Compliance and Registrant Regulation Branch released the results of its targeted compliance review of portfolio managers and exempt market dealers. Specifically, the review sought to assess compliance with know-your-client, know-your-product and suitability obligations found in NI 31-103. With respect to EMDs, the review ultimately found a number of substantive issues deemed unacceptable by Branch staff. Issues identified by staff included (i) sales of securities to investors that did not qualify as accredited investors; (ii) inadequate suitability assessments (including due to concentration risk); (iii) misuses of client-directed trade instructions; (iv) in appropriate disclaimer language in client documentation; (v) improper delegation of KYC and suitability obligations to third parties; (vi) inadequate relationship disclosure information; and (vii) lacking or inadequate policies and procedures. With respect to portfolio managers, staff found general compliance with obligations. Issues identified, however, included (i) inadequate suitability assessments; (ii) inadequate relationship disclosure information; (iii) inadequate process on collection, documentation and maintenance of KYC information; and (iv) inadequate policies and procedures. Ultimately, approximately 62% of registrants reviewed were issued deficiency reports, with more than 30% of the deficiencies characterized as significant. The Branch intends to issue guidance to registrants in the next few months to provide best practices regarding KYC, KYP and suitability. The guidance is also expected to identify examples of unacceptable practices as well. For more information, see OSC Staff Notice 33-740.

The Ayate- a handwoven agave washcloth.
The process to make these takes weeks. The fibers come from the palenques (leaves) of the agave plant, which are soaked for a few days, stripped of the fibers, pounded, and spun into a long thread like material that is then hand woven into a square washcloth.
Plastic is replacing these traditional cloths and there are not as many individuals and communities who are making them anymore.
Machine washable, mold resistant, softens after first use, and lasts a long time! Large woven ayates were made to carry loads and bundles of crops in the fields due to the strength of fiber. Ayates for farmwork have been used before Spain conquered Mexico.

Do you know how to choose the right precious metals refiner for your scrap and waste metal products?
This is an important decision, and it can have an impact on both the size of your return and the safeguarding of your precious metal assets. Regardless of who you ultimately choose to work with, the more information you have, the better your overall business relationship will be. With that in mind, we have come up with the:
7 most crucial questions that you should ask before choosing a precious metals refiner
Question #1: From start to finish, how long will the refining process take?
The refining process for precious metals can take anywhere from several days to several weeks to complete – it all depends on the material being handled. High purity karat gold and scrap silver can be processed much more quickly than low-grade sweeps or electronic circuit boards. Platinum and Palladium often take much longer due to the complex nature of those elements. Recovery of metals from nonmetallic materials also require a longer processing period as there is more preparation that has to be done, such as incineration or chemical dissolution.
The quicker the turn around time, the sooner you will get paid. However, faster doesn't always mean better. A refinery that offers "same day service" may ultimately be taking shortcuts that are not in your best financial interests.
Question #2: What fees are you charging me?
You must have a full understanding of each and every charge related to your refining lot – and always get everything in writing. The
complexities of dealing with different types of materials means there will often be varying charges – even for the same service. The costs for refining gold from karat scrap are quite different than the cost for refining gold from electronic circuit boards. Refiners may try to entice you to do business with them by offering you "flat fee" processing with no additional charges. The numbers may look good, but often if it seems too good to be true….well, you probably know the rest of the saying.
It is not uncommon for a custom refining quote to include charges for labor and processing, incoming weight, assaying, fine metal return, interest on advances, and other items. Many of these items may also be negotiable.
Question #3: Will we receive our original materials back in their pure form after refining?
Yes and no.
When we return pure gold or silver to you, we are furnishing it from our large inventory of precious metals. After final sampling, assay determination, and settlement, your material is combined with other material and further refined in larger, more economical batches. We are able to supply you metal from our current inventory immediately, even if it could take more time for your material to be refined completely. So, you receive pure metal, but may have not come from your exact shipment. Of course, none of that applies if you are being paid by check or bank wire.
Question #4: What analytical method(s) will you use to determine the value of my lot?
Maybe this should be question #1, as this could mean the difference between great results and bad results for your shipment. You must know how your refinery will actually analyze and value your material.
Fire assay, also known as cupellation, is the gold standard (no pun intended) method that has been accepted by the precious metals industry. With a fire assay, precious metals such as gold and silver are separated from non-precious metals by fusion using a lead oxide based flux. When performed properly by a skilled technician, a fire assay is accurate to 1 part in 10,000.
Platinum, palladium, and low grade materials need to go through a separate process called inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry or ICP-OES. In a nutshell, ICP uses high temperature plasma (at about 7000 k) to excite atoms and ions that emit electromagnetic radiation. The wavelength readings and their intensity are indicative of the concentration of the elements within the sample. This process is more time consuming and expensive to perform due to the complex preparation the sample must go through before being analyzed.
Be very wary of any refinery that uses x-ray fluorescence (XRF) for your final settlement. XRF, while being non-destructive and very quick to provide results, does not have anywhere near the accuracy of a fire assay or ICP process. In our laboratory, we use x-ray fluorescence machinery only as part of an initial cursory evaluation of a sample – basically to get a quick and dirty view of what metals are present. This is particularly useful if we are providing you with an advance. We then only use fire assay or an ICP process for actual analysis.
Here is more on the analytical processes we use in our laboratory.
Question #5: How can I trust your assay results?
In short, you shouldn't. Wait…did a gold refinery actually just tell you not to trust them? Kind of, and here is why:
While most refineries are not out to deceive you, at the end of the day there are actual human beings running things, and mistakes can happen. While most aim to minimize any errors, the law of large numbers dictates that something can happen once in a while. You should always ask for a sample of your material back so that you can have a third-party analysis performed. Most companies will not have any problem with that request, and many such as ourselves, will invite you to actually watch the sampling process occur. Once you have that sample, there are many assaying companies across the country that will analyze your sample for a nominal fee.
Once you have your results and we have ours, we compare both to ensure that the right analytical determination has been made. This is the easiest way to provide fairness and transparency during the entire refining process. Reconsider your decision to work with any company that won't provide you with a sample.
Question #6: How are disputed assays settled?
In the previous question, we told you why you should always take a sample of your material for third-party analysis. So you have your results, but they differ from the refinery's, and you are not satisfied. Now what?
The refinery you work with should have 'splitting limits'. Splitting limits determine what the range would be for a difference in assays to be "split down the middle". Assays performed by each party will almost never agree exactly – this is due to different lab conditions, processes, and just plain statistical variation. For instance, you have scrap gold melted and assayed, and the refinery assay comes to 57.60% gold and your third-party assay comes to 57.80%. The refinery may, with your agreement, settle the lot at 57.70%. Why would you want to agree to this? An "umpire" assay can cost from several hundred to $1200 or more.
What is an "umpire" assay?
When a refinery takes a sample of material, it is usually divided up into three parts. One part of the sample goes to the refinery's assay lab, one part goes to the customer, and one part is sealed in tamper evident storage in the event of a discrepancy. If the customer and the refinery cannot come to an agreement on the assay, they will have the sealed sample sent to another third-party assayer – sometimes even a COMEX certified assay lab. That lab will analyze the sample and report back the final results. Those results will then be used for settlement.
But here is the kicker: Whoever's results are furthest from the "umpire" results will usually pay all the costs for the umpire assay. These days, unless the assay discrepancy comes out to more than 1 ounce of pure gold, it is generally cheaper to split the difference. In the end, both sides need to weigh whether it is worth it to pursue an "umpire" settlement.
Question #7: Our product was made to precise standards, and we conduct quality control to validate content. Can we calculate the result from scrap according to the material specification?
It is really tough to give an answer to this question, as it depends on a number of different factors:
1) How well was the scrap material segregated from other materials?
2) Were adequate internal controls put on high-grade materials to ensure that no low-grade substitution occurred?
3) Was any "off-spec" material inadvertently added?
4) Was the material contaminated with oils, grease, dirt, filings, or solder splashes prior to being sent off for refining?
5) Were all shipping containers properly tared and accounted for prior to shipping?
Any one or a combination of these factors may cause the results to vary from your product specification. At the end of the day, good record keeping can prevent you from being surprised at your refining returns.
In Conclusion: Be well informed before choosing a precious metals refinery.
It is not just about one company charging "X" while another charges "Y". The more information you have, and the more satisfactory answers you have to the questions above, the easier it will be to choose a refiner for your gold, silver, platinum, or palladium scrap materials.

The newest manifestation of "Wall/Therapy" — the mural project that has resulted in more than a dozen large-scale works throughout downtown Rochester — has brought German street-art duo Herakut to Rochester to create an off-season mural at 218 Andrews Street. Herakut stayed in Rochester from October 13 through October 18 and completed a six-story image of a character for their international Giant Storybook Project, in which each wall they paint serves as a teaser for the children's book they are planning to create with actor Jim Carrey.
Herakut is made up of Hera (Jasmin Siddiqui) and Akut (Falk Lehmann), a duo that has been traveling the world to paint murals for many years, both separately and as a pair since 2004. Given their fantastical style, many people have been asking when the pair would do children's work, says Dave Sheldon of Clandestine Management, a California-based company that manages the artists. "They had a story in mind already, and [were] putting some characters together, and said, why not try to create a children's book about this?" Herakut decided to introduce some of the characters through their international mural-making. The Giant Storybook Project launched this year and will continue through the winter of 2013.
The artists' first connection with Carrey came when they were commissioned to create a piece for his backyard, says Caspar Martin, also of Clandestine Management. "They were both really inspired by the collaborative process. Jasmine and Falk have been working on this story for a while now, and working with Jim on expanding it," he says.
The Giant Storybook Project is planned to culminate with a print piece, says Akut. "We will make something like a graphic-novel illustration book," and are creating as many murals as possible, which will be the ground for the illustration work, he says.
"These murals are not necessarily going to be page-for-page illustrations in the book," says Sheldon, "they are going to be inspirations for scenes." During the painting process and after the work is finished, Akut painstakingly documents the murals, which will be digitally manipulated for such considerations as character uniformity.
Though the pair possessed their street names before uniting, it's interesting to note the significance of their names when considering the way they work together. Hera, the name of a goddess, is the shaper of the images, and Akut, which is German for acute, is the detailer.
After painting in Rochester, Herakut planned to paint two walls in San Francisco, then two more in Miami, one of which is six stories tall, a bit wider than the Rochester work. The largest wall they've painted thus far was in Mexico earlier this year, with a character whose eye was the size of the massive face on the character they have painted in Rochester.
The heavily stylized character they painted in the St. Paul district is visible from afar, and captivating up close. A man stands cradling a tree in one hand, his own arms guided by silvery limbs emerging from an amorphous spirit that also manifests as a snarling lion's head above his own. A deer stands beside the giant, wary and seemingly about to sprint away, and a squirrel has launched itself from the tree, shaking leaves loose. Spirit-serpents emerge from the silver mass to snap after the mammal. The man's face has darkened around his eyes, and the work shimmers with potentially vicious power.
"Our children's book is about creative energy," says Hera. The project encompasses small things, such as the languages that children make up, and the larger ways in which they create and dwell within their own worlds. The characters include a little girl, Lily, a creative teenager, Jay, and two giants "who are basically in charge of the world, of finding a balance there," says Hera.
The Rochester mural depicts one of the giants from the story. "His creative power is a bit more destructive than what a kid could come up with," says Hera. "He's at this point with his strength, his powers, with his size... You know, it can be really helpful, what he does, but also really destructive. That whole thing with playing with fire — his power is maybe taking over. That's why you can see the creative spirit, that's the silver creature around him, not only guiding him, but maybe already has taken over. We'll add writing, we haven't quite figured out the right words." But, she says, it will be something along lines of, "You had better control your power before your power controls you."
A Synthesis Collaborative update
In December, Dr. Ian Wilson, co-founder of Synthesis Collaborative and founder of "Wall/Therapy," will travel to Haiti with a delegation from the Hope Haiti foundation, a Rochester-based non-profit that supports healthcare systems in Borgne, Haiti. The team plans to evaluate the hospital in Borgne to assess its needs for diagnostic imaging and also evaluate process to figure out how best to implement the diagnostic imaging initiative called IMPACT, which stands for Improving Access to Care by Teleradiology. Wilson will also present on "Wall/Therapy" at TEDx on November 5 at Geva Theatre.
Wilson has been following the work of Herakut for several years, and met the artists when he attended an art opening for their show in London in late May of this year. Wilson traveled with them to Bristol U.K. for Upfest, where they painted. In July, Wilson brought Hera's brother-in-law, Case, to paint in Rochester during the summer "Wall/Therapy" initiative. When Wilson wanted to bring Herakut to Rochester in the off-season, local property owner Daniel Morgenstern was ready with another brick canvas on Andrews Street.
The print project documenting "Wall/Therapy," sponsored by Partners + Napier, is projected to be complete by early December. This "augmented reality project" includes print media with links to digital content that explains the murals and articulates the common thread between the mural project and the medical philanthropy, says Wilson.

Phoenicians have learned a thing or two about surviving scorching summer days. And folks in the nation's middle section could use the advice.
St. Louis, Milwaukee, Minneapolis, Chicago and several other Midwest cities already have broken heat records this week or are on the verge of doing so.
The National Weather Service said the record-breaking heat that has baked the nation's midsection for several days was slowly moving into the mid-Atlantic states and Northeast. Excessive-heat warnings remained in place Friday for all of Iowa, Indiana and Illinois as well as much of Wisconsin, Michigan, Missouri, Ohio and Kentucky.
IN PICTURES: Beating the summer heat
St. Louis hit a record high of 105 on Wednesday and a record low of 83. In Wisconsin, the coolest Milwaukee and Madison got was 81 in the early morning, beating previous low records by 2 and 4 degrees respectively. Temperatures didn't fall below 79 in Chicago, 78 in Grand Rapids, Mich., and 75 in Indianapolis.
"When a day starts out that warm, it doesn't take as much time to reach high temperatures in the low 100s," said Marcia Cronce, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service. "You know it'll be a warm day when you start out at 80 degrees."
For people in other parts of the country who aren't used to hearing the weather man say, "It'll be cooling down to 105 tomorrow," here are a few unique tips from the Valley of the Sun:
1. Keep your ride cool. Those cumbersome windshield reflectors are your new best friend. And if you have young children, buy an extra one to strap over a car seat to keep metal clasps from heating up in the sun as your car sits in the parking lot. You might even throw an ice pack or frozen water bottle in the seat to keep it cool for little ones while you shop.
2. Get creative about sleeping arrangements. Set up beds on a porch or back yard. Or just sleep in the shade, during the heat of the day.
3. Avoid the sun. Sure, sunscreen helps. But you can avoid it altogether by waking up and doing yard work before sunrise or going for your daily run at midnight.
4. Think before you touch. Any surface that sits in the sun could be hot enough to burn. There's no shame in using pot holders to open doors. Also, carry a towel to put on hot seats, and keep curtains pulled tight to block out the rays.
5. Water is your friend. Drink it. Swim in it. Spray it on your face. In Phoenix, shopping centers and cafes greet visitors by showering them with a fine, cool mist. You can get the same effect by filling a spray bottle with water.
And if all this talk about smoldering temperatures is getting you down, look on the bright side. You can always bake cookies on the dashboard of your car. We really do that.

SWEAT EQUITY: Maggie Mason, Velina Brown and Brian M. Rivera get ready to take over in 'Posibilidad.'
By Caroline Osborn
Michael Gene Sullivan spent his childhood being loud. Everyone who knew him swore he was destined for the theater. But when he reached his teenage years, he became incredibly shy. "I had the feeling that if I started talking, I would never shut up," he grins. Luckily for intellectual theater enthusiasts, Sullivan, head writer for the San Francisco Mime Troupe (SFMT), did start talking again—and his prediction came true in the best way possible.
This summer's SFMT production, Posibilidad, is the troupe's 51st show. It tells the story of factory workers who accidentally take control of their company. Sullivan has devoted his latest in a long string of socially conscious productions to the plight of workers because he notices a discrepancy between American workers and their counterparts in such other countries as Argentina, a country that has a history of factory owners losing money and abandoning their companies. Once the owners are gone, the workers band together, purchase the company and run the thing themselves.
"Americans always think workers fight for a place at the table," Sullivan says. "In other countries, workers fight for the whole table. What is it that keeps us from taking that extra step?"
Growing up in an activist family from Detroit, Sullivan heard stories about his relatives' frustrations with their auto-industry jobs. "There was always this sense that 'we can't do it ourselves, we need a boss,'" Sullivan remembers. "'We need a hierarchy because otherwise how can we get a promotion?'"
Don't be surprised if the idea smacks of socialism. Sullivan hopes audiences will leave the production free of the notion that socialism is a dirty word. "We, the working class, create the wealth of a country," Sullivan says. "[The wealthy] can't do it without us, but we need to show them that we can do it without them."
In keeping with their socialist politics, even the construction of SFMT defies hierarchical categorization. Sullivan, who calls the troupe an "artistic collective," also works as an actor and director. One of the company's principal actors doubles as a booker. Wilma Bonet, the director of Posibilidad, began as an actress and still does both.
Bonet faced racial discrimination when a performing-arts high school rejected her application because of her Puerto Rican accent. How did that affect her approach to theater? "I don't let anybody stop me," she laughs. "I just look at it as people not understanding where I'm coming from. [But] everybody has a voice in the mime troupe."
Social consciousness roared onto Bonet's radar when she worked with a film crew documenting the Young Lords, a New York gang turned political activism group, marching in a parade. "I saw the charge of the NYC police brigade, and I thought, 'Oh my God, I'm going to die,'" she says. "They started beating everyone up just for opening their flag. They didn't care about the people who were watching the parade. My whole vision of how the police treated people totally changed."
All of Bonet's social rebellion is rooted in her reverence for artistic design. Years in art school instilled in her a passion for visual composition that transcends mediums ("Rembrandt," she admires, "would just use light"); she applies painting techniques to the way she arranges her stage. Murals inspire her because their figures reach, point and gesture, guiding the eye in a static version of theater. "I paint live pictures onstage," she says. "I'm very aware of color and timing. We don't have lights [for outdoor productions], so I'm aware of where the focus needs to be so that the actor can lead the focus to what will happen next."
The troupe's penchant for relentlessly and artistically questioning the status quo draws North Bay audiences year after year. "It's not silent mime," Sullivan clarifies. "It's just like a Broadway musical, but it's smaller and has a point." Earlier, he says, "I would like for [audience members] to establish a democratic workers' state in two or three days," Sullivan says. "But that's probably not going to happen."
Prove him wrong at the North Bay premiere of 'Posibilidad' on Wednesday, July 14, at Mill Valley Community Center. 180 Camino Alto, Mill Valley. 6:30pm music; 7pm show. Free. 415.383.1370. For other show times, visit www.sfmt.org/schedule.

Use callable in a sentence
" The item was callable and that meant we could redeem it by a certain time and everything would be alright. "
" The bond matured in twenty years, however it was callable at par (face value) any time after the first five years. "
" When an investor feels that interest rates will fall, Callable bonds are a good option for short term investing. If the investor is correct they will earn some return in the short term and then get there money out if interest rates fall. "

Siding Choices for Your Home
There are many reasons you may be looking into replacing the siding on your home. It could be a severe storm that caused damage to your siding.

Changing the siding on your home has many benefits. Many of the materials used to side houses today offer better insulation and energy efficiency for your home. They provide a low-maintenance alternative for today's busy lifestyles. Siding is fast and easy to install; you won't be living in a "construction zone" like many other home improvement projects. In fact, many types of siding can be installed directly over your old siding! This adds to the insulation of your home and also allows for fast installation. When your project is complete, you will stand back and feel like you're looking at a brand new home!
If you're interested in replacing the siding for your home because of a severe storm and the damage it's caused, our siding experts can help you through the process of working with your insurance company. It can be a complicated process and we have years of experience helping homeowners. If your neighborhood has an HOA, we can help with that too.

We have chosen to carry many different brands so that our homeowners can find the product that best fits their needs – if you are interested in a brand or style that you don't see below, call or email us and we can look into it for you. Contact us with questions or for a free in-home consultation with one of our siding experts.
Vinyl Siding
Vinyl siding is the most popular type of siding in the country. It is durable, cost effective, insect resistant, and rot resistant. Vinyl siding comes in a wide variety of colors, designs, and styles to fit the look of most homes. It is virtually maintenance free and stands up well to most storms and climates. There are different grades of vinyl siding, the lower grades offer thinner materials and won't last for more than 10-12 years. The higher grades, and the grades we prefer to install for our homeowners, are much thicker and last decades. These grades of vinyl siding also allow the color to set deeper in the material which prevents fading and creates more durability to severe weather.
Vinyl siding is easy and quick to install. Typically, we install your new siding directly over your old siding. This makes for a quick installation process while also providing additional insulation for your home. Most siding installations take 2 days from start to finish – leaving you with a beautiful new home. Our crew are experts at installing vinyl (and all other types) of siding and are professional, clean, and meticulous.
We offer our homeowners the following brands of vinyl siding:
Fiber Cement Siding
Fiber cement siding is quickly gaining in popularity, with James Hardie being the most popular brand. Fiber cement siding is made by combining cellulose fibers with cement. This creates a product that is moisture resistant, fire resistant, and insect proof. It is impact resistant and stands up well to severe storms. It is durable, not prone to warping or cracking and requires little to no maintenance. Fiber cement siding comes in a variety of colors and styles; anything from wood grain to brick to more modern styles.
Installation of fiber cement siding is more labor intensive. This material is much heavier than other types of siding and can take longer to install. Before it is put up on the side of a home, it is also prone to breaking or cracking. If this material is installed after it has been cracked, it can leave your home venerable to moisture and insects thus removing many of the benefits. Anyone installing fiber cement siding needs to be very cautious when moving the materials around the worksite and during the installation process. In most locations, after the old siding is stripped away, a vapor barrier such as Tyvek or Prime Grip, will be installed. This increases the moisture resistance and insulation of your home.
We offer our homeowners the following brand of fiber cement siding:
Engineered Wood Siding
Engineered wood siding was developed in the 1980's when lumber prices made wood siding unaffordable to many people. Engineers worked to develop a material that could be an alternative to wood while providing benefits that natural wood couldn't. Over decades of research and modifications, today's engineered wood siding is superior to natural wood and is preferred by many homeowners. Today's engineered wood products hold paint for longer than natural wood; they are not maintenance free, but you also aren't committed to the same color for the life of your siding. It is also designed to absorb less moisture, making it resistant to mold and rot and is insect resistant.
Engineered wood is 39% lighter in weight than fiber cement siding, making installation easier. We will begin by stripping your old siding off your home. In most locations, a vapor barrier such as Tyvek or Prime Grip will be installed, increasing the moisture resistance and insulation for your home. Engineered wood products are installed similarly to wood siding and go up fast and easy.
We are proud to offer our homeowners the following brand of engineered wood siding:
Aluminum Siding
Aluminum siding was developed in the 1930's and has been a popular choice for many reasons. It is heat and fire resistant, offering more protection than wood or like products. It is also insect and rust resistant and is a very low maintenance product. Aluminum siding looks good for years and holds up well to many different types of weather. Most manufacturers offer a wide range of colors and styles to fit the taste of individual homeowners.
While there are many benefits to aluminum siding, there are some things to look out for. Aluminum siding can dent and scratch easily and is easily damaged by hail, heavy rain, and the stray baseball. While there is a wide range of colors offered, the color has been known to get a chalky look within a few years. The vinyl coated aluminum siding products are priced higher than all vinyl siding and provide less benefits.
We offer our homeowners the following brand of aluminum siding:
- Alcoa
Steel Siding
Steel siding is another metal siding offering a few more benefits over aluminum siding. Steel siding is typically thicker than aluminum making it harder, but not impossible, to dent and scratch. It is heat and insect resistant. It is prone to rust however, making it very important to re-paint any areas that get scratched to prevent rusting. Steel siding is more expensive than aluminum as it is a stronger and heavier metal. There can also be higher installation costs due to the weight of the product; it's more labor intensive to install than aluminum siding. Steel siding can be a wonderful alternative for certain homeowners looking for a long-lasting, heavy duty siding and the products we offer come with a lifetime warranty.
We offer our homeowners the following brand of steel siding:
- Edco

An Italian website has leaked a 90 second video of the upcoming HTC Desire HD, which also goes by the name HTC Ace. The Ace will sport a unibody aluminum design with a 4.3-inch WVGA widescreen display, and run on Android 2.2 (Froyo). Under the hood, the Ace will house a meaty 1GHz Qualcomm processor.
When it comes to appearance, the Ace bears a closer resemblance to the HD2 than the Desire. It also packs a 8 megapixel camera with dual LED flash that is capable of capturing HD (720p) video. Unfortunately, HTC has decided to continue with its annoying practice of placing the 3.5mm headphone jack at the bottom of the handset.
The HTC Desire HD is still probably a few months away. We will have to wait to learn more about it. However, it is already shaping up to be another impressive Android handset from the Taiwanese manufacturer.

Moscow: Amid Russia's intense military campaign against ISIS in Syria, as many as 10 militants from a gang that swore allegiance to the Islamic State have been killed after a firefight between Russian special forces and the terrorists near the city of Nalchik in Russia's North Caucasus.
According to National Counter-Terrorist Committee, the counter-terrorist operation is currently underway in a mountainous region near Nalchik, Russia Today reported.
The operation began early Sunday morning in woodland adjacent to Nalchik, the capital of Kabardino-Balkaria Republic. A unit searching a territory near the city spotted a group of militants in a dug-out on Saturday.
The Russian military, over the last month, has conducted bombing missions in Syria and fired multiple cruise missiles at the IS stronghold of Raqqa, a Syrian city.
Russia has vowed to escalate its military campaign against IS in Syria after it confirmed the Metrojet airliner that crashed in the Sinai, killing 224 passengers, was brought down by a bomb.
Meanwhile, having vowed to escalate its military campaign against the ISIS, the Russian airmen have inscribed 'That's for Paris' on the side of one of the bombs they plan to use against the terrorist organisation in Syria, a media report said.
A picture of the bomb was shared from the official Twitter account of the Russian Embassy in Britain, the Independent reported.
British Defence Secretary Michael Fallon previously criticised the strikes, saying they may have killed "several hundred" civilians.
Several coordinated gun and suicide bombing attacks on the French capital by Islamists killed 129 people on November 13.

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Democratic presidential candidate Pete Buttigieg (BOO'-tuh-juhj) says rural Americans embrace immigration when they see it as the solution to their employment needs and a shrinking population.
The South Bend, Indiana, mayor discussed his rural economic policy proposal with reporters Tuesday while taking a walk through the Iowa State Fair. His proposal calls for towns and counties, and not just corporations, to be able to seek employment visas.
Buttigieg says if residents are part of the decision to invite immigrants to their communities, "it does change the way we look at things," and they are less likely to fear outsiders.
Buttigieg has embarked on a three-day trip through Iowa, including rural counties carried by Democrat Barack Obama in 2008 and Republican Donald Trump in 2016.

BECKLEY, W.Va. – A Clear Creek man was sentenced Thursday to two years and six months in federal prison following an investigation by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement's (ICE) Homeland Security Investigations (HSI).
Benjamin Payne, 47, pleaded guilty in September 2013. He admitted possessing and storing a loaded revolver with a destroyed serial number in his car. Payne disclosed he had acquired the firearm several weeks prior to his arrest.
According to case records, Payne came to the attention of the West Virginia State Police after being involved in an automobile accident in Beckley. An inventory of the vehicle led to the discovery of the handgun.
Payne has two previous felony firearm convictions and multiple burglary convictions.
U.S. District Judge Irene C. Berger imposed the sentence.
