Sleep apnea is the unnamed malady that people often blamed for their sleep problems back in the days. They don't really know what it's called except for the loud snoring that makes sleeping impossible especially for their poor spouses or partners. A lot has changed now through technology's help. Technology helped medical practitioners identify different medical conditions and the appropriate treatment for it too.
On the other hand, technology has also put almost everyone at risk of sleep deprivation because of the Internet, social media, and games/apps that are so addicting. When you add a common sleep disorder like sleep apnea in the equation, then you can finally say goodbye to a good night's sleep and welcome yourself to the world of modern-day zombies.
Nighttime can be exhausting for the 22 million Americans with sleep apnea, a disorder marked by frequent interruptions in breathing. The condition leaves people not only chronically tired but also at greater risk for diabetes, stroke, heart disease and memory loss.
"Sleep apnea is a nighttime disorder with major daytime health consequences," says sleep specialist Steven Scharf, a clinical professor at the University of Maryland School of Medicine and director of the Sleep Disorders Center. "Unfortunately, it doesn't receive the attention it deserves."
(Via: http://www.aarp.org/health/conditions-treatments/info-2017/sleep-apnea-symptoms-treatment.html)
It no longer comes as a surprise that roughly 80% of Americans have sleep apnea but they remain unaware of it. It is a condition common among men but affects women just the same. People often complain about the loud snoring but it is actually the breathing pauses during sleep that is deadlier and can possibly kill a person in his or her sleep.
We all like to believe we don't snore and get defensive when we're accused of it—who, me? No way, never. But snoring is one of the most common symptoms of sleep apnea, a serious condition that you definitely shouldn't just brush off and ignore.
Sleep apnea is a sleep disorder that causes you to stop and start breathing repeatedly throughout the night. For most people, sleep apnea is caused by "some sort of obstruction in airflow in the back of the throat which blocks air from getting into the lungs as you sleep," Joseph Ojile, M.D., medical director of the Clayton Sleep Institute, tells SELF. This could be due to large tonsils, congested sinuses, or a variety of other factors. In rare cases, it can be caused by a problem in signaling, so that your brain doesn't send the message to breathe correctly.
Sleep apnea is a serious health condition. It will not go away on its own, so better address the sleep apnea now or put yourself at higher risk of certain medical conditions later in life.
Untreated sleep apnea can, over the years, contribute to chronic disease like type 2 diabetes and heart disease, so getting a proper diagnosis is important for your long-term health. Here are the top symptoms of sleep apnea you need to know.
You're exhausted all day despite getting plenty of sleep.
You wake up with headaches.
You wake yourself up gasping or choking.
Your bed partner says you snore, choke, gasp—or stop breathing—when you sleep.
You have high blood pressure.
You experience heart palpitations, "fluttering" in your chest, or your heart is pounding for no apparent reason.
You have high blood sugar.
You have insomnia.
Your mood is all over the place.
(Via: http://www.self.com/story/9-signs-you-might-have-sleep-apnea)
A sleep doctor can help you understand what your condition is and what can be done to help you overcome the symptoms of sleep apnea. These breathing pauses in your sleep are deadly and warrant urgent medical attention, so there's no sense in putting off a medical appointment any longer. Getting tested at a sleep clinic can help a lot and give the doctor and you a lot of insight as to the severity of your condition.
Medical treatments like CPAP is a conventional treatment but other more convenient remedies like anti-snoring gadgets and mouthpieces also work in reducing the snoring as well as the deadly breathing pauses. You'd be surprised at how much some lifestyle changes can make a difference in your life and address sleep apnea in the process. For severe conditions, surgery is also an option although it should be the last on your list.

Money market mutual funds provide a relatively stable vehicle to invest funds on a short-term basis that are ultimately destined for longer term investments within a brokerage account. A money market mutual fund is a type of mutual fund that is required by law to invest in low-risk securities. These funds have relatively low volatility compared to other mutual funds and pay dividends that generally reflect short-term interest rates. It is important to remember that unlike a "money market deposit account" at a bank, money market mutual funds are not federally insured.
Money market funds typically invest in government securities, certificates of deposit, commercial paper of companies, or other highly liquid and low-risk securities. They attempt to keep their net asset value (NAV) at a constant $1.00 per share and only the yield goes up and down. But a money market's per share NAV may fall below $1.00 if the investments perform poorly. While investor losses in money markets have been rare, they are possible. Therefore, it is important that you carefully read the prospectus and consider the risks of the money market mutual fund prior to investing.
Your Ocean Financial Services investment professional can provide you with additional information regarding the money market mutual fund alternatives available within our brokerage accounts.

The Motorola LI4278 takes 1D bar code scanning to the next level, allowing workers to scan faster and farther. Workers can capture virtually any 1D bar code — including the typical bar codes that are printed on paper labels; electronic bar codes displayed on the screen of a mobile phone, tablet or computer that allows retailers to easily process loyalty cards, mobile coupons and more; and the high density (HD) bar codes commonly used in electronic component manufacturing. 100 percent UPC bar codes can be captured from near contact to over 30 in./76.2 cm away, while 200% UPC codes can be scanned at 55 in./139.7 cm away. Since bar codes can be captured at extreme angles, scanning is easier than ever, so workers spend less time maneuvering the scanner and more time on task. And an optional cradle that enables presentation mode gives your workers the flexibility to use the scanner in handheld and hands-free modes .

Consumers: EU to ban dimethylfumarate (DMF) in consumer products, such as sofas and shoes
The use of the biocide (DMF) dimethylfumarate - which has caused severe allergic reactions in hundreds of consumers, because of its use in every day consumer products such as couches and shoes - looks set to be banned across the EU. Today, Member States voted in favour of a draft European Commission Decision to ensure that consumer products, such as leather furniture or footwear, containing the strongly sensitising (DMF) are not placed on the market in the EU. If already on the market, these products will have to be recalled and withdrawn without delay. In countries such as
France, Finland, Poland, Sweden and the , consumers exposed to products containing DMF, have experienced serious health problems including skin itching, irritation, redness, burns and, in some cases, acute respiratory difficult. The draft Commission decision is for an emergency EU wide measure, pending the adoption of a more permanent regulatory solution. Following today's vote, the draft Commission decision will be submitted for consultation to the European Parliament before going before the UK for final approval. College of Commissioners
EU Consumer Affairs Commissioner Meglena Kuneva, said: "There can be no compromise on safety. I am pleased to see that that the RAPEX system has been functioning well to ensure dangerous goods containing DMF are quickly removed from the market. But we need to go further with urgent EU action to tackle the problem at source. An EU wide ban on the use of DMF in all consumer goods is designed to eliminate the serious health risks and in particular the severe allergic reactions suffered by some consumers when they are exposed to this chemical simply by using everyday leather goods."
The risk from DMF
Dimethylfumarate (DMF) is used by producers as a biocide to kill moulds that may cause furniture or shoe leather to deteriorate during storage and transportation in a humid climate. Placed in sachets, which are fixed inside the furniture or added to the footwear boxes, DMF evaporates and impregnates the leather, protecting it from moulds. However, it has been found to seriously affect consumers who were in contact with the products. DMF penetrated through the clothes onto the skin of many consumers[1], where it caused painful dermatitis. The fact that in serious cases it is particularly difficult to treat adds to the damage. The presence of DMF is thus a serious risk.
The dangerous chemical initially raised concerns when notified by a number of
authorities through the EU rapid alert system for dangerous non-food consumer products (RAPEX). Member State
The notifications related to sofas, armchairs and shoes, and clinical tests confirmed that the dermatitis suffered by consumers in contact with these produtcs was caused by DMF[2].
France and Belgium subsequently put national bans in place and is also preparing to do so. The new Decision which was agreed today will cover all Member States. Spain
The existing rules
DMF is already banned for use in the manufacture of goods in the EU, since biocidal products containing DMF are not authorised under the Biocides Directive (98/8/EC). However, manufacturers outside the EU may use these unauthorised biocides and then export their products to the EU. Today's Decision therefore protects EU consumers from the risk of DMF in imported products in the same way as they are protected at home.
Recent measures introduced by Member States
In December 2008,
adopted a decree[3] which bans the importation and placing on the market of seating and footwear containing DMF for 1 year. The French decree also requires the recall of all seating and footwear which visibly contains, or the packaging of which visibly contains, DMF. In January 2009, France issued a decree[4], which bans the placing on the market of all articles and products containing DMF. Belgium is considering introducing a measure. Spain
Background - RAPEX
RAPEX is the EU rapid alert system for dangerous non-food consumer products, providing a rapid exchange of information between
and the Commission to prevent marketing or use of products posing a serious risk to the health and safety of consumers. Member States

Missing French teen Eloi Rolland: Parents plead for information as son turns 19
Hi neighbours. The parents of missing French teenager Eloi Rolland are pleading for information on his whereabouts on what is his first birthday since his disappearance.
Rolland should have been celebrating his 19th birthday surrounded by friends and family in France on Thursday, but he has not been seen or heard from since CCTV spotted him in West Auckland on March 7.
Rolland's parents Thierry and Catherine Rolland, who have been unable to travel to New Zealand due to the coronavirus pandemic, posted a renewed call for information on West Auckland's community Facebook pages.
Written as if it were coming from their son, the post read: "Today, Thursday, [I turn] 19 years old. But I am a missing person. My parents are looking for me, their heart is with me and [they] hope to find me safe and sound.
I am appealing for witnesses, if since my disappearance I have been seen or spoken to by anyone, please inform my family or the NZ Police [sic]."
Poll: Are you confident Auckland's light rail project will go ahead?
Auckland mayor Phil Goff says an announcement could be made soon on Auckland's light rail.
The $6 billion project to revive a tram network in Auckland was one of Labour's initial election promises in 2017.
After Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern's big victory on October 17, the light rail system connecting the airport to Auckland's central city may finally get off the ground.
But Transport Minister Phil Twyford alluded key decisions are still to be made.
Twyford said in June the governing parties could not agree on a preferred proposal and the future of the project would be decided by the new Government following the election.

Kayaker plucked from Manukau Harbour
Art has imitated life for Counties Manukau police.
Police Eagle helicopter crew were talking on camera about water safety when they were called to a real rescue on the Manukau Harbour.
The officers were starring in a video about dangers at sea ahead of Labour Weekend.
It took them a moment to realise the call about a kayaker in trouble was real- rather than a stitch up.
They stopped filming and rushed to the harbour after the alarm was raised about 3.20 pm on October 20.
Helicopter crew soon spotted the kayaker, who was plucked to safety by the Coastguard.
The kayaker was reported to be safe and well.

98 perfectly-arranged cubes of food are visually delicious
Visual artist duo Lernert & Sander are putting all of our plating skills to shame.
As part of a commission for the Dutch newspaper De Volkskrant, the pair cut up 98 different raw foods into perfect cubes — and the result is totally mesmerizing.
And there is a limited edition available at http://shop.volkskrant.nl/product/blokjes
Posted by Lernert & Sander on Wednesday, December 24, 2014
The team's website explains that each cube is a perfect 2.5x2.5x2.5 centimeters.
Aside from creating an incredibly angular design set-up, it's amazing to see what your favorite foods look like when they've been pared down to cube form.
Trying to guess what food each cube is made of is a fun little challenge in itself. Pomegranate? Kiwi? Mushroom?
Clearly, you can come up with some pretty impressive ideas when you dare to play with your food.
You can check out more of Lernert & Sander's work on their website and Facebook page.

I've been going to a place,
Based right here in Notts,
Recommended by my CPN,
And it's helped me lots and lots.
You don't need a referral,
Just go along and see,
To the regular drop ins,
That's what worked for me.
Just look at the website,
It says the usual stuff,
But also gives you the support you need,
If you're finding things quite tough.
It's for people just like me,
Who use self harm to cope,
It offers advice for your loved ones too,
It's about recovery and hope.
You'll get a chance to air your views,
To sit and say what goes,
Because the staff listen well,
And know it's you that knows.
But what you'll find you'll also get,
Is the good advice you need,
Techniques to try, strategies to help you,
Get back up to speed.
It's the sort of place you need,
To help you feel strong,
It helps to know you're not alone,
And that somehow you belong.
But it offers you a future,
And gives you a little bit more,
It makes you take a little glimpse,
Of what you were like before.
Don't get me wrong, I know
It could be a long and winding haul,
But put your foot onto the path,
It helps to start quite small.

Security-conscious users will have a choice to make in the next week.
Software maker Opera released the latest version of its browser, Opera 9.5, on Thursday, and rival Mozilla announced it would release a major update of its Firefox browser on June 17. Both browsers add a number of security-focused features, chief among them technology designed to block the downloading and execution of malicious code. Microsoft's next major version of its browser, Internet Explorer 8, is currently in beta and will also include anti-malware features.
Opera 9.5 represents the culmination of two years spent listening to our community and transforming our browser to add features and capabilities they have requested, Jon von Tetzchner, CEO of Opera, said in a statement announcing the browser's release.
External attackers have increasingly focused on the browser as a vector through which to attack unsuspecting users' computers. Among the most popular techniques, attackers compromise legitimate Web servers with code to redirect the Web site's visitors to servers hosting malicious code. Anti-malware builds on the anti-phishing features that all three browser makers incorporated into their software last year.
Opera announced last week that it was using anti-malware technology from startup security firm Haute Secure. The technology goes beyond just blacklisting malicious sites and links, the company told SecurityFocus in an interview.
Opera can be downloaded from the company's Web site. Firefox will be available on Tuesday, June 17.
If you have tips or insights on this topic, please contact SecurityFocus.

Dangerous Edge: A Life of Graham Greene premiered March 2013.
About the Program
Graham Greene's 50 books spanned seven decades and sold tens of millions of copies in countless languages. More than 100 of his stories have been adapted for television, theater and film — some, such as "The Quiet American" and "The End of the Affair," twice.
As a journalist for 60 years, Greene covered the most dangerous events of the past century: Kenya's Mau Mau Rebellion, the Vietnam War, Haiti's "nightmare republic," the rise of Castro and the fall of the Soviet Union.
Here, Greene receives the Catholic Book Award for the novel, The End of the Affair.
Dangerous Edge: A Life of Graham Greene, the first American-produced documentary about Greene, weaves his novels, including "The Quiet American," "Brighton Rock," "The End of the Affair" and "The Third Man," and movies into the story of his life and reveals an extraordinary man who traveled the globe to escape the boredom of ordinary existence. Participants include; novelists John Mortimer, John Le Carré and David Lodge, writer Paul Theroux, former CIA operative and author Frederick Hitz, and Greene's daughter Caroline Bourget.
Greene's writing captures the essence of what it means to be human: The struggle between faith and doubt, love and betrayal, action and inaction, the individual and the state. Greene famously warned writers to avoid personal, political and ideological ties: A writer must "have a sliver of ice in his heart," he said, and "be a piece of grit in the State machinery."
After Greene's death in 1991, Paul Gray wrote in TIME Magazine, "No serious writer of the twentieth century has more thoroughly influenced the public imagination than Graham Greene." His influence continues.
Greene is quoted on average 100 times every month in publications around the world, and the British Film Institute recently voted The Third Man the industry's best British film.
While Greene's work and influence are apparent, Greene the man remains an enigma. Despite repeated suicide attempts, he lived to be 86. He was a British spy who befriended traitor Kim Philby. He was a committed Catholic who referred to himself as a "Catholic agnostic." He craved anonymity, yet his writing made him famous.
Greene attributed such incongruities to manic depression. Rather than allowing his condition to cripple him, however, he channeled it into enormous creativity, and from his death wish ultimately sprang an acute awareness of the value of life.
Dangerous Edge: A Life of Graham Greene was produced by O'Connor Associates.
Barbara de Fina and Margaret Stuart Hunter: Executive producers. Thomas P. O'Connor: Producer, director and writer.

It was February 14th, NOT my favorite day of the year and the store was packed with cute couples taking their relationship to a new level, being "we are ready to adopt a pet. together". I was the only single one there. My choice immediately fell on white pile of cuddling and loving furry he-cat. He was big and calm and easily went into my arms. I was not really counting or thinking for that matter. I was upset and I had an urge to nest. So, I asked for the paperwork to fill out. It all went great until I literary choked over a simple question of "are you ready to commit to a cat for at least 20 years?". A multiple choice question. I stumbled for half an hour until a soft "can I help you, miss" brought me back. Can I commit to anything for at least 20 years? - was all that was running through my head. Do cats even live that long? How the hell do I know? I can't even commit to one and the same apartment for more than half a year!!!
It was supposed to be a fun trip to get a loving warm creature to meet me home from work and sleep with me in one bed (I like to snuggle, I can't help it). Instead, I remembered all the bridges I have burned and all the circles I have danced. Damn it, I just wanted a cat! I answered honestly "not sure" and fled the store. Of course, I am not getting any cat. No sane adoption agent will give one to a screwed immigrant who is so much capable of committing to a lonely plant and a bottle of Merlot every once in a while.
And so I have settled for my plant, empty bed and a dream of getting a cat at some point of my life. The urge of nesting was getting stronger as the evening fell on the city and I cooked. For myself. I do that too. Once in a blue moon.

Two UCLH projects have received nearly £800,000 between them to help improve health services for hard to reach people and give them greater control over their own care.
The projects will empower mums-to-be by revolutionising the way women receive their maternity care and improve access to healthcare for homeless patients.
Both schemes were awarded £400,000 by the Health Foundation, an independent charity which works to continuously improve the quality of healthcare in the UK.
The foundation's Closing the Gap: Changing Relationships programme selected eight major projects for grants of £400,000 over two years. The programme aims to develop a healthcare system where people have greater control over their care.
The UCLH projects are:
M(ums) power: putting women at the centre of antenatal care
Pregnancy is a normal physiological process that produces a range of changes and anxieties that most women manage within complex, busy lives. But services often meet the priorities of healthcare professionals rather than the needs and preferences of the women they serve, resulting in dissatisfaction, inefficiency and, for some, a reluctance to engage. This project will work alongside pregnant women to develop an integrated online solution that offers quality-assured information, linked in with tools such as real-time appointment booking. The overall aim is to transform antenatal services in order to enable women and put their needs at the heart of antenatal care.
Professor Donald Peebles, UCLH consultant obstetrician leading the project, said: "In essence women will be much more in control of their antenatal care and will be setting the agenda much more than they do now. As women go through their pregnancy they will be linked to appropriate, best quality information and have much improved access to health care professionals"
The project will put mums-to-be in the driving seat when it comes to their care, improve the quality of services and save the NHS money. It will also make it much easier for women to stay in contact with their named midwife and lead to better sharing of information between hospitals and community care. Professor Peebles added: "Managing some of your antenatal care and accessing healthcare professionals from home will be more convenient for busy women and also lead to a massive cost saving for the NHS. For example, just a small reduction in the number of antenatal visits for women at low risk of complications will save a lot of money."
Promoting compassionate healthcare for homeless people
A project based at University College Hospital which is improving access to healthcare for homeless patients will also benefit from a Health Foundation grant.
The London Pathway, a project set up with funding from UCLH Charity, uses a dedicated homelessness nurse and GP to make sure that homeless patients get all the care they need – including support after they have left the safety of the hospital. It has reduced admissions of homeless people to UCH by 3.2 days per patient, which equates to savings of £300,000 a year. The grant will support the continued development of the service at UCH and the addition of London Pathway Care Navigators to our homeless health teams. London Pathway Care Navigators are people with personal experience of homelessness who will work alongside specialist medical staff in hospitals to befriend, mentor and support homeless patients during their time in hospital and, crucially, in the immediate discharge period. The funding will also help the London Pathway share its achievements at UCH with colleagues at the Royal London Hospital and Brighton and Sussex NHS Trusts.
Alex Bax, chief executive of the London Pathway said: "Becoming part of the Health Foundation's Closing the Gap programme is tremendously exciting. The rigorous external evaluations that will come out of Closing the Gap will help us learn in much more detail which are the key components of our service model and provide vital evidence to others in the NHS about the value of the work we do. Central to our approach is putting homeless patients at the centre of their care, and changing medical relationships around them, and this is the core focus of the Health Foundation's programme. We are also looking forward to learning from the other projects taking part in the scheme.

Michael from Norway and Goron from Italy discuss if computers can take the place of teachers.
Hide / Show Transcript ( + / - )
Goron: Hi, I'm Goron from Italy.
Michael: I'm Michael from Norway.
Goron: So, the question is do you think computers can replace teachers?
Michael: That's a good question. No, and why I think that is because, you know, there's only that much you can make interactive without any discipline and I think teacher is the part there that really motivates the students to go further. A computer will never really motivates you, it will only tell you if you're doing good or bad while a teacher can really, you know, tell you about his or her experience, tell you what to do to become better and they will really give you a hint on how to improve yourself in a more humane way.
Goron: I agree with you, definitely.

Yesterday, I took it to the range along with my chronograph. The following loads were tested with the noted results.
|CCI Blazer
|200 gr. JHP
|Win Cowboy
|250 gr. LFP
|Win ST
|225 gr. ST
|250 gr. XTP
These are the cartridges I've tested so far.
After chronographing, I immediately went to the targets at 50 yards. A 3" bull was placed at 50 yards and used as the aiming point. Remember, my rear sight is all the way down as low as it will go. Somewhat surprisingly, all rounds grouped into about 4". Not so surprisingly, the center of this group was 3-4" above the POA. I then moved the target to 100 yards and mounted a 12" bull just above the 3". I fired 3 rounds using the center of the large bull as an aiming point. Neither round hit the target. I then used the lower 3" bull as an aiming point. Interestingly, a neighboring shooter said something about me not being able to hit the target. Frankly, I took offense and said, "look, it shoots high, I'll try a couple at the lower bull," and cranked off 2 more at the lower bull. The impact of both rounds can be seen in the photo, 2" apart. The load used was my reload. That did it for my reloads and I fired a mixture of the other ammo using the lower bull as the POA. ALL rounds struck 11" above that and to the right of the target. Easy enough to adjust the Williams Foolproof laterally, but there was nowhere to go for elevation. Quick reference to the Brownell's technical page on sight adjustment gave the amount of adjustment needed at .065".
I wrote Steve Young about the problem and that I proposed to modify the sight to correct the problem. I immediately got a phone call from him! He mentioned that another customer had the same problem. He thinks that the same sights are used on all guns and that they are set up for the .38/357 Magnum guns. After a good discussion the following options seemed to be on the table.
1. Modify the Williams Foolproof to allow it to go deeper the .065" necessary.
2. Get a front sight .065" higher.
3. Split the difference between the front and rear sight.
4. Send it back and drill 2 MORE holes for the sight.
5. Send it back and bend the barrel.
I rejected options 5 and 4. I do not want to bend the barrel, drill and tap 2 additional holes OR send it back.
The front sight is already an unsupported ½" tall. I don't think I want a taller front sight and don't want the hassle of changing out the front sight. A post or sourdough would give me about .020" to .025" height because the bead is used by placing it over the target and the post bisects the target. How it is used counts for something. I rejected options 2 and 3.
So, I've set myself up to modify the rear sight and after a close examination and taking the sight all the way apart and putting it back together a couple of times, started to work. First I scribed the outline of the elevator and then chucked the mount in the vise (after removing from the rifle, of course). I then went to work on it with a file. It took a couple of different files and the Dremel tool to nick out a particularly troublesome corner but I notched out the top back of the mount to give me another .065" clearance. Seems to work, now I'll be back to the range (after I load some more ammo).
Back to the ammo. All except my handloads were very mild generating only about 3-5 FPE in recoil energy despite the light weight of the rifle. Velocities are probably little different from those of the same cartridges fired in a revolver. The light loads smoked the brass cases and sometimes made it appear that I'd had a case failure by virtue of all the smoke coming from the action!
The CCI Blazer was first up and while accurate and mild to shoot (all are very mild) it didn't extract well because the rim isn't correct for use with the extractor. I can see how it would work fine in a revolver, but it was mildly irritating in the rifle.
Next was the Winchester Cowboy load. Put up in an old west appearing box, it is very mild in performance giving the lowest velocities of any factory ammunition tried.
Then, I tried the Winchester Silvertip. I thought this would be a relatively "hot" ammo as it is clear that it was made for the self-defense use of the cartridge. Just look at that huge hollowpoint!. Not so. Did give cloverleafs at 50 yards.
Then, the rip snorters, my handloads. Not only is the AD and SD of this ammo lower than any factory ammo but it cut cloverleafs at 50 yards AND can go into less than 2" at 100 yards (see target). Once I get it zeroed and fine-tuned, I think this will be pretty good ammo for my uses. 1756 FPE is nothing to sneeze at and extraction and ejection were slick and positive.
Through it all, the rifle performed as expected. SLICK! All ammo fed without problems except that I short stroked it twice for some unknown reason. The bore must be slick as well, clean up was a breeze. Brass came out with little deformation indicating a seemingly well cut chamber. Recoil should have been stout with my handloads but it wasn't at all punishing. It seemed less so than my old Winchester and Marlin 1894s in .44 Magnum. Both guns weighed more so it must be a happy coincidence of the rifle's geometry and my body shape!
With the sight now right I expect that the next range session will produce a good zero.

Restoration Hardware bulks up on its catalog business
Back in 2011, Restoration Hardware produced its then largest-ever catalog, which was 616 pages long and weighed three pounds. While many marveled at its size, many others questioned whether it had any place in the digital age. That question, at least according to Restoration Hardware, has been answered in the affirmative as the retailer has just dropped its latest catalog, which has grown to a mammoth 3,300 pages and 12 pounds.
Chairman and CEO Gary Friedman said on a recent earnings call via SeekingAlpha that Restoration Hardware is "the pioneer in rethinking the traditional direct model."
According to Mr. Friedman, the chain uses its Source Books to differentiate from the competition. He said that consumers cannot get a feel for the assortment advantage Restoration Hardware has over competitors by going online and looking at their respective homepages.
"It would require a customer to click 10,000 times to understand the assortment size difference, so for now this Source Book plays a very important role in communicating the dominant and unique point of view of our brand," Mr. Friedman told analysts.
Mr. Friedman also said that the chain has developed a more targeted approach to its mailings.
"While not intuitive, based on the size of our once per year mailing, we have made several changes that are both good for our business and much better for the environment than our previous methodology and those employed by our competitors," he said. "We have moved from mailing our Source Book 10 times per year to once per year, reducing our pages circulated at the percentage of our sales by approximately 70 percent."

How is it that Restoration Hardware appears to be successful by going against the grain with its ever-expanding catalog? Would a similar strategy work for other retailers?

Personally, I think Restoration Hardware is underestimating the power of the Internet. If they manage their taxonomy well, finding products online can be a simple process as Amazon, eBay, etc., have shown.
Wonder what the cost of producing a 3,300 page, 12 pound catalog is and how widely circulated it is to better understand the cost structure?
I should hope they have a "targeted approach to mailings!" This reminds me of ULine, the packaging supply people. I swear we get a new 650 page catalog from them every week, sometimes two copies. One-third of the world's forests could be saved just by ULine and Restoration Hardware alone!
Restoration Hardware is not depending on just the Millennials for their sales numbers. Many of the youngest end of that group rent, rather than buy, and the group that buys is the target they really want. They are willing to spend more, so covering all sales channels is smart. The right medium that extends the shoppers' view of the assortment is smart. A catalog of many smaller parts and larger items is a smart move. Others strong in this area are Northern Tool and Grainger Wholesale. Strong websites for the order and strong catalog mediums for shopping and more details (sales support).
I still miss my huge Sears catalog, but I have my Orvis, Grainger and huge Touratech BMW parts catalogs.
Someone important at Restoration Hardware must believe that people still like to read, particularly printed material about their fine hardware. This belief—and their broad line of products—may be Restoration Hardware's differentiator today. But, like those old, massive telephone books, weighty catalogs are not a magical part of the digital age.
Despite its success, the challenge that Restoration Hardware must deal with is that the future no longer weighs what it used to weigh. Thus Restoration Hardware's strategy doesn't appear to be that valuable for other retailers.
I was sitting in my living room reading two Saturdays ago and the doorbell rang. It was the UPS guy with a weighty package of catalogs from Restoration Hardware!
After my husband and I laughed and marveled at the shear girth and weight of the package for awhile, we discussed whether it was effective sending this amount of information all at once.
My husbands take on it was, "Haven't they heard of the internet?" Sort of says it all.
Without question, we're living in a digital age. That does not, however, mean that an integrated media strategy should be abandoned by placing an all-in bet with digital. Prudent media mix still has to be the standard.
The May 2014 Prosper Insights & Analytics consumer survey points out that two-thirds of adults with a household income of more than $50,000 a year plan on spending MORE or the SAME compared to the prior year on catalog shopping in the next 90 days. In addition, print works for saving design concepts—big ticket items are decided upon over several weeks or months.
When consumers are asked, "Where do you look for design inspiration or ideas for your home?" 42.8 percent point to magazines, 29.4 percent to TV, 26.6 percent to in-store and online media, 22.3 percent to HGTV and 16.2 percent to catalogs.
Restoration doesn't have all their chips on the catalog alone; walk their stores, look into their website and follow their offerings in select magazines. They are allocating media spend that reaches their consumer.
My UPS guy gave me a dirty look, but for a store whose smallest bathroom vanity is over $1,200, a giant catalog might make sense.
In previous discussions about paper catalogs my stance has been clear: I think they are chasing a shrinking market and will and need to go by the wayside. Ian's comment about the forests is one reason.
My perception though, is that Restoration Hardware is finding traction by being the exception to the rule. By brand name/perception and the products themselves, they are a bit of a throwback to an earlier time—a time when people catalog shopped for items for the home. So while going against the grain may be working for them, there are few brands that I believe can pull it off as successfully, especially for those monster catalogs from another era.
I love that he uses the word "pioneer." Wasn't the original pioneer in giant catalogs (Sears) rooted in the pioneer days? It's back to the future!
On a more serious note, as the catalog size grows, and frequency drops, this puts more of a premium on testing the effects rigorously and honing the strategy going forward. It's tricky to do that measurement correctly in a business with the order size, sales volatility, and multi-channel nature that Restoration Hardware has. While Resto has done a fantastic job of bringing their brand back, getting this answer right will be the difference between continued growth and a fallback to hard times.
As for whether other retailers could pull of this strategy, certainly others could try it in limited scope and see what works!
It's the coffee table book of catalogs and that may be their strategy. Mine sit on the table between "The Life and Times of the Oboe" and "Complete History of the World." Of course, my iPad does sit on top of them all, if that means anything…. 🙂
Much like Starbucks designer gift cards, this makes for great publicity—even if they only send out one of them (curiously absent is any mention of how many actually ARE being sent out). But therein lies the answer: no it wouldn't work, because the value is more in the uniqueness than inherent usefulness.
The heft of the catalogue was heavily covered by the press. That's enough for me. Without more data that won't be forthcoming, it's probably enough for Restoration Hardware too.

I'm planning on revamping this website. The current plan is I'll make pretty much the entire website from scratch, as it's really all static data besides news updates, so it's not too difficult. The plan is to make it responsive so it'll look and work right on anything from phones to desktops.
The issue comes down to... I don't want to try to make a Forum from scratch. I'd like to find one I can integrate in easy and will work good, including a responsive design.
I'd like input if anyone has anything I should look at that would be easy enough to use and would work good for the website here.
What we need i can think of...
Anything else anyone can think of? I haven't messed with Forum software much in years, but anything has to be better than this one... going to dump all of Tiki software.

The Magic Years
Joel Kanter, MSW, LCSW– C
This article is re-printed here with the kind permission of the author. It appeared first in the American Association for Psychoanalysis in Clinical Social Work's Spring, 2017, Newsletter at www.aapcsw.org
Joel Kanter who is based at Silver Spring Maryland USA can be contacted about this article by email. His address is firstname.lastname@example.com
This is first of two articles about Selma Fraiberg available to be read in the goodenoughcaring Journal.
Selma Fraiberg was a social worker, a psychoanalyst, an author and a pioneer in the field of infant health. She devoted her career to understanding the developmental needs of children, to creating programs that promote infant mental health, and to reaching parents and policymakers through her clear, persuasive prose. In her brief 63 years, she accomplished enough to fill three careers.
With the approaching centenary of her birth in 1918 I will share some pieces of my ongoing research of my ongoing research into her life and career in a series of articles. Here in Part 1, I offer some insights into her early life and career.
As one of the first social workers to complete psychoanalytic training, Fraiberg wrote The Magic Years (1959), a luminous account of the child's mind that is a classic in its genre. Her early work with blind infants and their mothers produced techniques to promote attachment in the absence of visual cues. Fraiberg's close observation of infant-mother interactions deepened our understanding of the attachment and led to the development of the new intervention strategies for babies at risk for neglect, abuse, or "failure to thrive." During the last phase of her career, Fraiberg started the Child Development Project at the University of Michigan, which served impaired mother-infant dyads, trained clinicians, and developed a treatment model that has been widely replicated; her co-authored paper "Ghosts in the Nursery"(1975) has become a classic in social work and infant mental health, cited nearly two thousand times.
Selma Fraiberg (nee Horwitz) was born in Detroit on March 8, 1918, the eldest of three children. Her father, the son of Russian Jewish immigrants, took over the family poultry business; her mother's family were Hungarian Jews who had come to the United States in the nineteenth century. Fraiberg had an especially close relationship with her maternal grandmother, Jennie Jacobs, a strong-minded former suffragist. Fraiberg received a BA and an MSW from Wayne State University in Detroit, where she met Louis, a teaching assistant whom she married in 1945, as she completed her graduate degree.
Her social work education at Wayne State was dramatically impacted by events in Europe, since three talented analysts from Vienna found their way to Detroit: Fritz Redl, Editha Sterba, and Richard Sterba. Redl, a psychologist and educator, was analysed by Richard Sterba, taught by Anna Freud and mentored by August Aichorn. He arrived in the US on a fellowship in 1936 and remained as war clouds gathered. Richard Sterba, a psychiatrist, was a member of the first graduating class of the Vienna Psychoanalytic Institute, and his wife, Edith Sterba, was a lay child analyst who collaborated with Anna Freud in establishing Vienna's first psychoanalytic clinics for children. After the Nazi regime asked Richard Sterba, as one of the only non-Jews in Vienna's analytic community, to assume leadership of the Vienna Institute, he and his wife decided to flee Austria and eventually settled in Detroit in 1939. In an autobiographical letter, Fraiberg wrote, "[I had the] good fortune of studying under Fritz Redl and Richard and Edith Sterba both during the time I was a student (at Wayne State) and during the first post-graduate years. It is to these three analysts that I owe my own interest in psychoanalysis. Like many young people of this generation, I was familiar with the writings of Freud and very much influenced by psychoanalytic ideas, but I would never have become a child analyst if the war had not brought these three teachers from Vienna to Detroit."
Besides the didactic education she received from all three while she studied at Wayne State, Fraiberg spent several summers working at University of Michigan's Fresh Air Camp, which, under Redl's leadership, served disadvantaged youth from the Detroit area as part of the Detroit Group Project. This was a formative experience for Fraiberg, exposing her to children from diverse backgrounds.
At the Fresh Air Camp, circa 1944: Selma Freiberg (standing, right). behind the seated Fritz Redl slightly to her left.
Fraiberg described some of their work at the Detroit Group Project in her master's thesis and first published article, "The Spontaneous Drama as a Technic in Group Therapy"(1945). She was 27 years old when this was published, and it appeared under her given name, Selma Horwitz. The paper describes play groups of children who were given the task of developing a brief drama that explored their personal conflicts. She described an event with one group of six children, ages eight to eleven, in which she introduced them to five puppets representing an array of family members. Fraiberg begins as the"mother" and passes out puppets to the other children.
After some casual interaction, they develop a drama about the death of the "wicked father." This begins after Fraiberg tells the group members, "we can do anything we want to do." The children are excited about beginning this exercise, and Fraiberg gives the "mother" puppet to a girl in the group.
Soon, one of the boys," Jim," sees a nude statuette elsewhere in the room and brings it to the table. He asks another boy for the "father" puppet:
Jim makes the father puppet climb up the nude statue. The movements of the puppet are provocative. The puppet lingers seductively at the statue's breasts. There is a laughter from the children and Sammy's rings out above all the rest. Then when the father gets to the top of the statue, he falls down and gets killed! (Shrieks of delight from the children).
Then Sammy suggests, "it's time for a funeral!" and Fraiberg describes "sounds of weeping, wailing and laughter" from the children. The funeral continues, the "father" becomes a ghost, and the drama soon comes to an end. Fraiberg explicates the group's interaction:
It is apparent that each of the three children who participate actively in the murder and funeral of the father is a child whose history reveals trauma in relation to the father.
Jim has observed his father and his mother's many lovers in coitus with his mother. He is himself engaged in a lover-like relation with his mother. In the drama, Jim, at the crucial moment, trades his little boy puppet for Sammy's father puppet, causes the father to climb and embrace the nude statuette, then with the wild approval of the older children throws the father into the ocean. Here clearly he re-enacts a scene or parental intercourse and ends with the child's wishful destruction of the father for the sake of his own possession of the mother.'
Yet, Fraiberg does not congratulate herself on what might appear to be an effective therapeutic intervention. She discusses the impact of the session and the group on each of the six participants:
In this analysis we see clearly that acting out and release of emotion I'm not in themselves integrating, and do not by themselves constitute therapy. The failure of the leader to handle the material that was communicated to her resulted in damage for one child and little or no benefit for the others. The changes in in-group behavior are of little significance when we consider that there were no effects beyond the group.
The article continues with a description of a second group in which Fraiberg was more attentive to the group members' defenses. She concludes with a measured evaluation of such therapeutic interventions:
A comparison of the two illustrative dramas reveals in each case deep the far reaching effects of the drama for the children involved, but shows as clearly the failure and success of the technic…Nonhandling and passivity on the part of the therapist in the drama of the death of the wicked father created dangers and actual damage in the cases of certain children, with only small effects in the cases of others… the therapist in the group….. must see the production of fantasy material in terms of the content and transference implications, and must utilise his professional understanding of all he sees for the guidance of the child in his care.
At age twenty-seven Fraiberg's sensitivity to the clinical process and her professional integrity were already quite remarkable. Even among mature clinicians, it is rare that authors publish materials that so highlight the shortcomings of their clinical interventions. More than sixty years later, in this text on drama therapy, Phil Jones(2007), apparently unaware of the author's future accomplishments, summarises Selma Horwitz's 1945 article and notes "laudable clarity about the aims, purpose, the therapeutic value of drama and her role within the dramatic therapy"(50). Fraiberg's were evident even in her first professional years.

Effective LinkedIn ¦ What is a LinkedIn Endorsement?
What is a LinkedIn endorsement?
LinkedIn endorsements are a new feature released over the last month or so and this article gives you some background information on what they are and how they work. Every time you look at a profile on LinkedIn nowadays a box appears and asks whether you want to endorse the person for a particular skill.
- An endorsement is a quick way to endorse a particular skill rather than spending time crafting a recommendation.
- Any endorsements you receive then appear in your status updates and LinkedIn notify you via email.
- Anyone can suggest a skill and endorse you for it and you can choose whether or not to display it
How do I endorse someone?
It is simple to endorse someone and LinkedIn actively promotes endorsements by displaying a 'Does this person have this skills?' box at the top of the screen and suggests skills to endorse.
The easiest way to endorse someone is to go to Skills & Expertise on their public profile and click on the + symbol next to the skill you wish to endorse. Your LinkedIn profile photo will then appear next to that skill to show you have endorsed them (if it is a recognised skill) and if you hover over the skill LinkedIn will tell you how popular it is. Or you can use the suggestions LinkedIn provides and click on the suggestions.
Although search does not include endorsements of a skill at present I believe that LinkedIn will be adding this feature in future so if someone had more endorsements they would appear higher in the results list.
Why should I endorse someone?
- If you endorse someone then your profile photograph appears next to the endorsement and anyone who hovers over this picture will see more information about you so it's another way to promote yourself.
- Most people will reciprocate.
Why should I have endorsements on my profile?
- It's another way to demonstrate your expertise. The higher the number next to the endorsement means that people really believe you an expert in that particular skill.
- Everyone is doing it so you don't want to be left out!
- You need to have Skills and Expertise showing on your profile.
- You do not have to accept endorsements (For some reason LinkedIn keeps suggesting MS Project is one of my skills and lots of people keep endorsing me. Whilst this is something I have done in the past, I do not wish to attract new clients for this so I have chosen to hide the skill so that is is not displayed otherwise it would have become my top skill. I have asked LinkedIn if they can stop suggesting it to other people but they tell me that they will suggest it to the developers and it 'may' happen 'at some point'. So I keep ignoring the suggestions)
- You do not have any control over the order in which they are displayed other than the popularity of the endorsement.
- You can choose to delete an endorsement but once deleted it cannot be added again tThis does not apply to a skill simply the individual endorsement)

Silverpack investing P500 M for Philippine plant (Philippine Star)
MANILA, Philippines – Multinational packaging firmSilverpackSdnBhdis looking to investP500million to put up its first manufacturing plant in the country in the next two to three years.
In an interview, aSilverpackofficial said the company plans to conquer Southeast Asia over the next decade through aggressive expansion of its manufacturing facilities and sales office across the region.
"Our plan is to set up manufacturing plants inAseanin 10 years' time. We already have a factory in Malaysia and China. We have sales offices in Singapore, Sri Lanka and Thailand. We also need to set up sales offices in the entire Southeast Asia,"Silverpackregional sales director Jeffrey Ng said.
In the Philippines, Ng said the company intends to gather a sizable market share initially before putting up a manufacturing plant in two to three years.
Ng saidSilverpackis currently in talks with large food manufacturing companies in the Philippines for the export of its products.
"We are expanding because companies are also expanding. When they do well, we will do well as well," he said.
Business ( Article MRec ), pagematch: 1, sectionmatch: 1
Silverpack'sclients in Philippines are still mostly small and medium enterprises which import aboutP3million toP4million worth of products a month.
The company is looking to tap large Filipino conglomerates which invest in their own packaging plants for their businesses.
Ng said a candy manufacturer, for instance, spends 10 percent of its total cost for packaging alone while a high value goods manufacturer spends five to seven percent.
Silverpack'spackaging materials are used by a wide range of food industries such as coffee, tea, confectionery, milk products, snacks, biscuits, instant food items, oil, seafood, pet food, sweets, jelly top seal, fruit drinks, personal care series, and moon cakes.
The Embassy of Malaysia Trade Office (Matrade) Manila saidSilverpackis among the top five packaging companies in Malaysia at present.
MatradecommissionerNyaeeAyupsaidSilverpack'sexpertise in packaging would help support a wide range of food industries in the Philippines.
"Instead of setting up their own packaging division, the food manufacturers in the Philippines can focus on their main line of business, if they will tapSilverpackfor their packaging needs,"Ayupsaid. -gWithPiaLeeBrago

Killed in the line of duty: Andrew Harper the latest PC to lose his life on the front line
Pc Andrew Harper, the newlywed policeman killed while responding to a suspected burglary, is the latest officer to tragically lose his life while carrying out police duties.
Pc Andrew Harper, who was killed on Thursday evening near Sulhamstead in Berkshire, joins a long list of colleagues killed in the line of duty.
It comes a week after PC Stuart Outten was attacked with a machete while carrying out a routine van check in Leyton, east London.
A National Police Memorial roll of honour in London lists all officers who have been killed by criminal acts during active service since 1680.
The memorial lists more than 1,600 officers who have died while performing vital tasks.
Those that lost their lives did so while performing a range of duties, including apprehending terrorists, quelling rioters and marshalling protests.
One hero listed is PC Keith Palmer, who was stabbed in March 2017 by Khalid Masood during the Westminster Bridge terror attack. He was posthumously awarded the George Medal.
In April 2009, PC Gary Toms, 37, was critically injured confronting suspects in Leyton, east London, but died six days later when his life support machine was switched off.
Also included are three unarmed Metropolitan Police officers murdered in Shepherd's Bush by Harry Roberts in 1966.
Detective Sergeant Christopher Head, 30, Detective Constable David Wombwell, 25, and Pc Geoffrey Fox, 41, were shot without warning while questioning three suspects in a van.
Detective Constable Michael Swindells, 44, died after he was knifed in the stomach as he and colleagues conducted a search in Birmingham in May 2004.
Detective Constable Stephen Oake died during a police raid on a flat in Crumpsall, Manchester, in January 2003.
Kamel Bourgass launched a frenzied knife attack on the Special Branch officer as he tried to escape. The Algerian was sentenced to life for his murder.

Det Con Oake's bravery not only saved the lives of several colleagues but potentially hundreds of people who Bourgass was plotting to kill with the poison ricin.
Another name on the roll is Pc Keith Blakelock, a 40-year-old father of three who was set on by a mob and hacked to death with a machete during the Broadwater Farm riots in 1985.
Winston Silcott, along with two other men, was found guilty of his murder but in 1991 their convictions were overturned on appeal because of "unsafe" police evidence.
Pc Ian Broadhurst, 34, of West Yorkshire Police, was murdered by American bodybuilder David Bieber, 38, in Leeds on Boxing Day 2003. Bieber also shot two of Pc Broadhurst's colleagues.
Bieber, who was wanted by the FBI for ordering two killings in Florida, was subsequently jailed for life.
Pc Alison Armitage, 29, was run down by a stolen car in March 2001. She died during an undercover operation in Hollinwood, near Oldham, Greater Manchester. She was run over twice by a driver in a stolen vehicle in the car park of a derelict pub.
In October 1997, Pc Nina Mackay was stabbed to death in a raid in Stratford, east London, by paranoid schizophrenic Magdi Elgizouli.
Police officers also find themselves in danger when they are off duty. Father-of-two Pc Ian Dibell, 41, was off work with a hand injury when he was killed near his home in Clacton in July 2012.
He had gone to help a member of the public who had been injured in a gun attack and was shot himself.

Lightning Brain ImageHorn for InDesign 1.0Free
Lightning Brain ImageHorn for Adobe InDesign CS/CS2/CS3/CS4 is a plug-in designed to enable dynamic image fitting ('horn' like in 'shoehorn'). Dynamic image fitting automatically re-applies the selected fitting settings to an image each time you resize the frame that contains it.
What's new in this version:
Can now assign fitting options to empty frames - so it is possible to prepare a template with empty frames where you can then later place images, and have these placed images 'auto-fit' or 'auto-fill'. This works especially well with ImageLibraryLoader when you have a licensed version of APIDToolAssistant installed.
