As per the concept of Ayurveda, hair strands are considered as a product of bone tissues. Any imbalance caused in the nutrition level of these bone tissues may lead to hair problems. Ayurveda says that human body is constituted by three doshas or energies; Vata, Pitta and Kapha. The disturbance of any these doshas may result in health problems. Hair fall is a result of increase in the Pitta dosha in the body.
In order to reduce or balance the level of pitta in our body, it is advised to use herbs such as Shatavari (Asparagus racemosus) that improves digestion and also have proved efficient in treating hair problems.
Dr. Gurnam Saini always uses a holistic approach in his treatments to sort out the imbalances in the body and treat accordingly using only natural herbs and therapies.

The all-new 2010 Mercedes Benz E-Class Coupe officially revealed ahead of the 2009 Geneva Motor Show. The Coupe's styling is based on the new 2010 E-Class Sedan, unveiled at the Detroit Auto Show last month, and it shares most of its engines and its interior with the four-door as well.
With the new design, Mercedes claims that the E-Class Coupe will be the "world's most aerodynamically efficient series-production car." That's a bold claim to make but one can see in the newly acquired sleekness of the body that things have changed. This Coupe, in its slight form with no B-pillars and completely retractable side windows, creates a drag coefficient of just 0.24.
Read more (details + photos)!!
The sort of engines presented for the new E-Class Coupe composes four, six and eight-cylinder units with outputs from 150kW/200hp to 285kW/382hp – the top end genre being the E500/550. Expect to see an AMG edition, however, unveiling with at least 500hp (373kW) later in the year. The four-cylinder engines are newly urban address-booster units, which elaborate an elevated yield and torque than the comparable V6-engines of the preceding series despite a lesser displacement.
Kicking off the lineup is the E250 CDI four-cylinder diesel, which has a yield of 200hp (150kW) and 369lb-ft (500Nm) of torque. It is the most fuel-useful engine in the assemble and is rated at 44mpg (5.3L/100km). This is tied by a 200hp (150kW) four gasoline with 229lb-ft (310Nm) of torque.
Moving up the ladder is the E350 CDI, which sports a 228hp (170kW) and 398lb-ft (540Nm) V6 diesel, and a E350 CGI petrol V6 with 288hp (215kW) and 270lb-ft (365Nm) of torque. Finally, there is the E500/550 flagship with a 5.5L petrol V8 churning out 382hp (285kW) and 390lb-ft (530Nm) of torque.
Also fitted to the E-Class Coupe is Mercedes' Agility Control active suspension set-up. This automatically adjusts the density of the suspension given the powerful conditions and facility together with an abuser-controllable selective deterrent setting called Dynamic Driving. Other technologies contain drowsiness detection caution systems, a pop-up boater, path authorize recognition, preset tragedy braking, and adaptive character-dimming headlights.
Inside, the car picks up newly urbanized sport seats with exciting adjustment for seat height and backrest approach as average. With thrilling seat adjustment with memory (an elective addition), the front seats are also equipped with electro-pneumatically adjustable four-way lumbar wires. For the rear seats, Mercedes has included a folding meaning to augment storage.
The new E-Class Coupe will first hit European showrooms this May and should be on selling in the U.S. by the third-quarter of the year. Expect pricing and availability details to be exposed following the car's debut at the upcoming Geneva Motor Show.

Early reports on the rice crop are encouraging, Steve Linscombe, director of the Rice Research Station near Crowley, said Friday.
He said farmers who began cutting rice in late July have reported good crops, some "outstanding." No one has reported low yields, Linscombe said.
"A handful have said that's the best that field has ever cut," he said Friday morning.
Farmers will continue to cut their rice crop this week, next and beyond, he said, because the crop is late. That's due to the cold spring months of March and April, the coldest Linscombe said he has experienced in his three decades at the Rice Research Station.
The cold made for late planting and later harvest, but that's not necessarily a bad thing. In 2012, rice farmers experienced friendlier spring weather but some farmers battled blast, a fungus that can cause crop failure. Some farmers began cutting the first week of July; about half the crop was cut by the end of July, Linscombe said.
This year, the cold pushed back harvest a couple of weeks. In fact, Linscombe said, no one has cut any of the research fields at the Rice Research Station. They'll start cutting next week; last year, about two-thirds of the research fields were cut by now.
This year's crop is not only average or above average, Linscombe said, the quality appears to be good.
"With rice, quality is very important," he said. The appearance of the rice this year benefited from milder than normal temperatures at night and during the day over the past couple of months.
Linscombe said better assessments of the crop will be made in September, after the crop is all in.

Wednesday of the Nineteenth Week in Ordinary Time
(Deuteronomy 34:1-12; Matthew 18:15-20)
Development has been a growth industry for thirty years. Of course, the development that I have in mind has nothing to do with land or cameras but with growing funds for a church or charitable organization. Development advisors make a mantra of the conventional wisdom that in order to receive you have to ask. They point out that most people do not mind being asked. Sure, some will refuse the request, but more people than petitioners imagine are willing to make a contribution to a cause they believe in.
In the gospel Jesus tells his disciples not to be shy about asking favors from the Father. He assures them that God is ready to grant their requests. This assurance comes after the statement on fraternal correction probably because Jesus wants his disciples to give priority to community needs, especially the necessity of unity in truth and love.
Of course, sometimes we are not granted what we request. "What went wrong?" we may then ask ourselves. Did we not pray hard enough? Perhaps, we wonder, we did not really believe that God could grant our petition? Rather than speculate on our diligence or question God's omnipotence, we might remember how Jesus prayed in Gethsemane, "...let this cup pass from me" without receiving a positive response. It is important as well to remember the second part of Jesus' prayer, "...yet not as I will, but as you will." Disposing ourselves to the divine will does not undercut our requests. Rather, it recognizes that God knows best and will take care of us whatever hardship we have to face.

This recipe was inspired by my son, who at 18 months has become obsessed with the hamentaschen illustration in Amy Wilson Sanger's cute primer on Jewish food, Let's Nosh. Every time we get to the page about hamentaschen, he points to the one with black filling and signs "berries," very excitedly. (Don't tell him but I think it's actually supposed to be a poppyseed filling.) Since Purim time is just about here, I did my best to oblige him with some of his own real, live berry hamentaschen.
I'm too much of a cheapskate/aspiring locavore to keep fresh blueberries on hand in February, so I made do with some frozen wild blueberries that I have stocked up in the freezer (as you may guess from the above story, blueberries are another of the kiddo's obsessions).
Here are some of my hamentaschen tips gleaned from years of baking them with preschoolers:
- Don't be tempted to overfill them. A little filling goes a long way and if you put in too much the cookies will unfold and they won't look anything like pockets/ears/tricorner hats/the purim legend of your choice.
- When you fold the pastry over, pinch them almost all the way shut, so you can barely see any filling at all. When they bake they will expand and the filling with peek out the middle.
- It
is possible, in the case of allergies, to make hamentaschen that are
gluten-free, dairy-free, egg-free, and citrus-free. But they will take
forever to bake and taste like some kind of weird Japanese pastry.
for the cookie dough:
8 oz cream cheese
1 stick of butter, softened
1/2 cup white sugar
1 egg
zest of one lemon
2 cups all purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
for the filling:
1/4 cup white sugar
1 Tablespoon cornstarch
pinch of salt
1-1/2 cup frozen blueberries
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
In a large bowl, cream together the butter, cream cheese, and 1/2 cup sugar, then add the egg and lemon zest. In a small bowl, mix together the flour and baking powder, then slowly add to the other ingredients and mix well. Refrigerate the dough for 1 hour.
Put the 1/4 cup sugar, cornstarch and salt in a small saucepan on the stove over medium high heat and add 1 Tablespoon + 1 teaspoon of water. Add the blueberries and mix well, continuing to stir occasionally until mixture boils and thickens. Remove from heat and stir in lemon juice. Transfer to a bowl and refrigerate until cool.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line two cookie sheets with parchment paper.
dough is ready, flour your work surface and roll out the dough to about
1/4" thick. You can do this in small batches if you like. Using a
large cookie cutter or a drinking glass, cut out the dough into large
circles and place them on the parchment paper-lined cookie sheets.
Spoon 1 teaspoon of filling onto the center of each circle. With a bit
of water on your fingertip, wet the three spots on the circle that will
be the corners of your triangle, and then pinch each corner closed,
working in toward the center until only a tiny bit of filling is
Bake 15-18 minutes, one cookie sheet-full at a time, until pale golden brown.

United's U23s ended their campaign with an unfortunate home defeat to Birmingham City on Wednesday afternoon.
Two late Kyle McFarlane goals won it for the Blues, as United ended in fourth place in the Professional Development League.
City had the first opportunity of the game as a corner swung in by Stirk was met by Lupano but his header was well saved by trialist goalkeeper Greaves.
United came close as Mallon drove down the left and fired a ball across goal that was destined for Smith to tap in before Redmond cut it out.
The deadlock was almost broke on 42 minutes as Gilmour's right sided corner curled over everyone and bounced off of the post.
As the half drew to an end the Blades had another opportunity to take the lead when Mallon cut back for Smith seven yards out but the forward could only fire just over, despite a promising position.
On 58 minutes, Amartey picked up the ball on the halfway line for City and drove all the way to the area only to see his curling effort ricochet off the post.
The visitors continued to prove to be a threat on the counter attack as McFarlane went close twice in the space of 10 minutes with a block from Graham and a Greaves save denying him respectively.
The opening goal arrived on 80 minutes as substitute Concannon slipped Bernard in behind who squared for MCFARLANE to complete the move by finishing into an empty net to put the Blues ahead.
Birmingham would have the game wrapped up with four minutes left on the clock as the same duo combined. Bernard crossed for MCFARLANE to poke home from close range to condemn the Blades to defeat.
Blades: Greaves, Ferguson, Norrington-Davies (Elstone 62), Graham, Cantrill, Semple, Gilmour, Slater, Smith, Doherty, Mallon (Oure 52).
Unused: Broadbent, Weaver, Potts.

Axed knight rider Sir Bradley Wiggins says defending champion Chris Froome is the man to beat when the Tour de France takes off in Yorkshire next weekend.
Wiggins' well signposted omission from Team Sky's nine-man squad for Le Tour was confirmed just 12 hours after he won his third national time trial title with a blistering ride at Celtic Manor in Newport.
He was immediately thrown a crumb of consolation as he was named in England's Commonwealth Games track cycling squad - and he is likely to seek a golden finale to his career indoors at the Rio 2016 Olympics.
But Wiggins, who has accepted his omission with exemplary grace, believes Va Va Froome is well-placed to become Le Tour's first winner of back-to-back Yellow Jerseys since Spain's Miguel Indurain almost 20 years ago.
He said: "We saw the best of Chris at the start of the Criterium Dauphine until he was hampered by a crash.
"In that form, it looks like no-one can touch him really.
"He is quite a strong character. He knows exactly what he needs to do."
Wiggins, 34, had anticipated he would not be part of Team Sky's plans, adding: "I think the team they are sending is an incredible team.
"You've got a defending champion who is going to be the favourite to win it.
"You have got the likes of Geraint Thomas, who could win on Sunday and take the British road title into the Tour, so the team that is going you couldn't fault it really.
"I would have liked to have been there but at the same time, the squad is so strong now.
"It's disappointing on a personal level, but I think from a team point of view they have probably put the strongest squad up as it stands today.
"It was always looking that I probably wasn't going to ride the Tour."
Chris Froome's 2013 Tour de France:
Only two of Sky's nine-man squad - Froome and Thomas - who line up in Leeds for the Grand Depart next Saturday at the 101st edition of cycling's ultimate endurance test will be British.
Nobody did more to attract Le Tour to Britain than Wiggins, Britain's first-ever winner of the fabled maillot jaune, but Team Sky chief Brailsford explained his decision by saying: "A star team will always beat a team of stars."
Brailsford admitted: "Leaving Bradley out was a very, very tough decision.
"He's been a great champion, and he's been fundamental to the growth of cycling in this country, but my job is to look at the best probabilities to try and win.
"It's been a golden decade for British cycling, and Bradley lies at the heart of that success. Although he has not been selected for this race, he remains a key member of Team Sky.
"It's one race. There's still the future and there's a lot more racing in Bradley."

2005: In the Wake of Hurricane Katrina
The devastation from Hurricane Katrina to the city of New Orleans in August of 2005 stirred educators and researchers from across the country to consider the implications for the region's schools. Education Week published a number of Commentaries that reflected a range of national and local concerns that continue to resonate 10 years later. Excerpts from these essays illustrate the authors' perspectives.
"We have been pretending since 1965 that the little bit of federal aid provided for disadvantaged children can overcome the historic legacies of racial discrimination and poverty.
We can't pretend any more—the hurricanes washed that pretense away."
—Rachel B. Tompkins, Nov. 16, 2005, "Disaster Equity: Keeping Rural Schools and Communities in the Picture as Rebuilding Begins"
"The government cannot appear to be compassionate, and yet adhere to a rigid policy of standardizing education. Compassion is personal. Standardization is not."
—Elaine M. Garan, Nov. 9, 2005, "Will Katrina Topple the No Child Left Behind Law?"
"Intensive academic learning will need to take a back seat to recovery for some students for some time."
—William Pfohl & Howard Adelman, Oct. 5, 2005, "Weathering the Storm: After the Gulf Coast Hurricanes, Children's Mental Health Must Be a Top Priority"
"American school planners will be as close as they have ever come to a 'green field' opportunity: A large public education system will need to be built from scratch."
—Paul T. Hill, Sept. 20, 2005, "Re-Creating Public Education in New Orleans
"[W]hat separates this state from others that face similar challenges is its guts and its understanding that small changes just aren't enough."
—Kati Haycock, Sept. 14, 2005, "Don't Count Them Out: Louisiana's Schools Will Come Back—Again"

Brother dragonchild's example is a good one.
It's not really a question of needing them, but that they are another tool available which let you approach problems in different ways. Sometimes a pointerish solution - like dragonchild's - would be easier to understand, just like sometimes an OO solution is easier, or a functional solution is easier.
I do take the point that with pointers comes danger. It could probably be mitigated because perl knows more about the underlying data structures that you would be pointing at than C does - for instance, if you increment a pointer beyond the end of a string, perl can know that you've done that and so could automagically extend the string.

One of the most concerning matter for a person on an overseas trip is, their phone bills. Often people who travel overseas without having knowledge of how to manage their phone bills tend to put more money on their phone bills than on their ticket fare. But, phone bill could be reduced to a big extent, if proper planning is done before starting the tourney.
The first method to reduce phone bill is, using local SIM of the country or taking a travel SIM card. Both the options are good and have come pros and cons. Let's check first what the good and bad points of using the local SIM card are.Advantages: For making a local call, the local SIM cards are the best. By having a SIM card of the country you are visiting, you will have a local number of that country which will make almost inexpensive for people of that city call you.
Disadvantages: Local SIM you can get easily only when you reach the destination. And if prior arrangement is not made for that, then you will not other option to spend your precious vacation time in looking for a shops to buy a local SIM card. Now, when you will get the SIM card after all your struggle, then the next challenge that you may encounter would be, understanding the user manual. In local SIM which has been purchased locally, the prompts and instructions remain in local language.
There remains a huge difference in call rates in local SIM and an international travel SIM cards. These are designed for tourists understanding their needs. Pros and cons of overseas SIMAdvantages: Exclusively prepaid travel sim designed for Europe, thus call rates are cheaper. It could be purchased online, thus you have the international number before your travel time began. It can be taken to any countries without the concern of roaming charges. Most of the international roaming cards remain free from roaming in almost all developed countries.
Disadvantages: For local calls &messages, it is an expensive option in comparison to a local SIM card. It will be expensive for those who are calling you; they will have to pay the roaming charges of the country from which the SIM card belongs to. For e.g. if the overseas SIM card belongs to the operator of the US, the people calling on your number will have to pay the roaming of the US, no matter at the time of the call, whether you are living in the US or not.

Philippine officials say the capital is back to normal after government troops shot dead two armed men who tried to take over a control tower at Manila's international airport early Saturday morning.
Panfilo Villaruel, a former head of the Air Transportation Office, and his accomplice, Ricardo Gatchaliar, entered the airport control tower in the Philippine capital shortly before midnight and ordered the air traffic controllers out of the building at gunpoint.
Mr. Panfilo later told local radio station DZBB he was protesting against government corruption and the country's lack of progress. The 62-year-old said he wanted his grievances to be heard.
After a three-hour standoff, police stormed the tower in a dramatic encounter heard by listeners of the radio station. As shots rang out in the background, Mr. Panfilo could be heard saying, "They are killing us?we surrender," and then he gasped for breath.
National Security Advisor Roilo Golez says the situation in the city is back to normal, and he defended the decision to shoot the gunmen.
"Yes, it's back to normal, it was a quick resolution," he said. "We had to do it very quickly because they occupied a very sensitive, very vital infrastructure and this is the airport tower. If we didn't do this fast, that would have delayed and paralyzed the air traffic, affected the economy, and could even affect the security situation."
Philippine president Gloria Macapagal Arroyo condemned the attack and ordered security stepped up in the capital. She said, however, that the incident was not an attempted coup.
The airport attack comes just three months after hundreds of disgruntled soldiers stormed a commercial shopping center, demanding an end to government corruption in a failed coup attempt.
Mr. Golez says it appears the two gunmen at the airport were acting alone.
"We're still investigating the whole thing," he said. "But based on what we are seeing, we do not see any other group moving. We set up checkpoints all over Metro Manila immediately and we have not detected any other group. So things are back to normal, the flights are normal also."
The day before the incident, as a political storm raged over attempts by opposition leaders to impeach the county's Supreme Court chief, Mrs. Arroyo vowed to quash any future grabs for power.

3 personalized ways to network designed with you in mind
70% of career opportunities are discovered through networking. However, it's still an activity that most people dread.
Maybe that's because we treat networking like it's one size fits all — encouraging people to attend the event or employ the strategy that worked for others. But people are different.
See also: 3 tips for making small talk suck less
It's valuable to build up your skills (and comfort level) talking to new people or building out your social profiles. But it's also important to be honest about what your particular networking preferences — and challenges — are, and adjust your personal strategy accordingly. Read on for best the kind of networking based on your situation.
1. If you're an introvert
When you think of a stereotypical networking event, you might picture strangers in a ballroom with house wine, small talk, nametags and little room to move. It's no surprise that this kind of setting isn't conducive to forging new connections for introverts, as they find large groups "draining" and "feel overwhelmed in busy social situations." So, while your extroverted friend might make you meet people and simply suggest you act a bit more outgoing, this is not the best setting for you.
In Networking for Introverts: 3 Tips for Success, Bill Stewart and Karl Stark share tips from Lisa Petrelli's The Introvert's Guide to Success in Business and Leadership, including networking with just one other person. Another suggestion they share is focusing on a smaller circle of meaningful connections, rather than worrying about your total number or contacts.
The idea of meaningful contacts is significant, because introverts and extroverts alike lament the hundreds of LinkedIn connections they never even speak to. It's much more valuable to have a network of people you could call when you're looking for a job (or a reference or advice), whether that's 15 people or 150 people. So, skip the huge event and seek one-on-one opportunities to connect.
2. If you're extremely busy
Maybe you don't dread events because of the small talk, but because of the sheer number of hours you have to commit to getting there, being there and following up with new connections. Or maybe you know that if a new contact asked you to meet up for a cup of coffee, there's no way you could find an extra hour in your week.
If this is the case, I suggest moving your networking efforts online. Sure, you might view the time spent scrolling through your Twitter feed as a time-suck (and maybe it is if all you do is look at click-bait). But if you use Twitter to connect with thought leaders, interact with others in your field or DM someone following you about being in touch over email, you're strengthening your network — and in just minutes a day.
If you're not a fan of Twitter, look into being more active on LinkedIn by following influencers and publishing and commenting on posts. Even spending an hour to set up a personal site will make you more searchable; and give you a link you can add to your resume, business card and email signature to put your work in front of potential contacts (without having to repeatedly track down a bunch of attachments to send).
Bonus: Social networking is also a great approach if the people you want to be in touch with are the ones who are very busy. Instead of asking for a lunch meeting, you're asking someone to click on a link, which takes substantially less time.
3. If you're a woman
Dr. Christine Bailey recently published a fantastic article on LinkedIn called A Better Way to Network for Women? It asserts that traditional notions of networking aren't working for women. She includes five tips that suggest a shift in both perspective and practice.
Bailey suggests women who find the traditional outreach difficult focus instead on elevating contacts through helping others make connections and sharing their work. She says the actions will come back to you through "the famous law of reciprocity"; but in the meantime, you can approach networking from a place of confidence rather than of feeling uncomfortable asking for something. Bailey also suggests taking advantage of social networking opportunities, connecting with groups specifically for women and reaching out to people you've lost contact with.
When someone says "networking," there may be one event or strategy that jumps to mind. But if that approach isn't working for you, mix it up and seek out others who share your preference for connections that are more personal, fit into a time-crunched schedule or include uplifting others.

Only a law enforcement agency can issue a regional or state Amber Alert. If your child is missing, please contact 9-1-1 immediately and then Get Help Now.
If you are a law enforcement officer and your agency needs to issue an Amber Alert, please contact
(713) 986-3541 or call (713) 599-0235 for 24/7 support and activation assistance.
The Houston Regional Amber Alert Program is administered by Texas Center for the Missing, and is designed to help find missing children believed to be abducted. The program is a cooperative public service effort between local law enforcement, news media outlets, Amber Alert business partners, and the public.
Our local alert was developed in 2000 by the Houston Police Department in cooperation with the Houston Local Emergency Communications Committee, the Harris County Office of Emergency Management, and NewsRadio KTRH-AM 740.
The Houston Regional Amber Alert covers the Houston-Galveston 14-county region, including Austin, Brazoria, Chambers, Colorado, Fort Bend, Galveston, Harris, Liberty, Matagorda, Montgomery, San Jacinto, Walker, Waller, and Wharton counties.
The History of the AMBER Alert
In January 1996, nine-year-old Amber Hagerman was riding her bicycle on a warm Saturday afternoon when a neighbor heard the girl scream. The neighbor saw a man pull Amber off her bike, throw her into the front seat of his pickup truck, and drive away at a high speed.
The neighbor called police and provided a description of the suspect and his vehicle, but could not recall much else. Arlington Police and the FBI interviewed other neighbors and searched for the suspect and vehicle. Local radio and TV stations covered the story in their regular newscasts.
A concerned citizen contacted a Dallas area radio station, suggesting the idea that Dallas radio stations should repeat news bulletins about abducted children just like they do severe weather warnings.
The idea was presented to the Association of Radio Managers (ARM) composed of general managers of the major radio stations in the Dallas/Fort Worth area. The general managers agreed that such a program would provide an important public service and might help save the life of a child.
The Dallas Amber Plan was started in July 1997. Since then, the program has successfully recovered hundreds of children and has expanded to other cities and states nationwide.

pls guys can you please suggest what could be the cause of this, my ea is programmed fine and all braces properly placed with error report. back test/live work
properly and on trade for long time successful no problem,but today i suddenly saw multiple of order open by my ea. however
i use trade copy to copy to my order account on same computer,however today i changed another tradecopy because the first copy ea do not
modify orders.so i have to change to another trade copy which i got online and work well on demo account before i put it on my live account.but
suddenly i came back few hours and saw my own ea open multiple order in one direction sell. so i became confuse if the problem could be from
the new tradecopy or my ea with magic no. if its trade copy i don't think it can work with my ea to open multiple sell, or is it possible for an ea
to work over time and begins to behalf abnormal . like that same ea is still working well now am written this but i cant say where the problem is
from to prevent future happening. pls anybody who has experience this what could be the cause. pls suggest possible cause of this if it apply to

Hoodied thieves tried to break-in to an opticians in Chester using a hammer - in an apparent bid to steal designer sunglasses.
At just before 6.30pm yesterday two men were seen trying to smash through glass at the store on Charles Street, Hoole.
But the men ran off after failing to break the glass.
It is the second time an opticians in the city has been targeted by burglars in less than a week, say police.
On Thursday police were called to an opticians on Northgate Street after thieves broke-in and stole around 25 pairs of sunglasses.
Police are hunting for two men, the first is described as wearing a black hoodie and the second wearing a green top and a cap at the time of the incident.
It is not clear whether the two incidents are related.

Penrose—who has now won the Nobel—is still defining the way we see the universe. But, asked Philip Ball in 2017, in today's world of ultra-specialised science, could a thinker of such breadth ever emerge again?by Philip Ball / February 13, 2017 / Leave a comment
Scientists exhausted by the relentless demand to "demonstrate impact" and churn out peer-reviewed papers find ways of cheering themselves up. A popular consolation is to imagine reviewers' reports on Einstein's "grant application" for his work on special relativity, condemning his revolutionary thoughts as sheer speculation, devoid of any practical application, and worthy of no funding at all.
Lost golden ages are rarely as golden as we remember: back in 1905 Einstein wasn't funded either, but still working in the Swiss patent office. The rueful jokes do, however, make a valid point about the way conservatism and bandwagon-riding often dictate progress in scientific careers today. Now you need polish, pizzazz, and state-of-the-art facilities. Gone are the days when it was possible to conduct cutting-edge experiments, as Ernest Rutherford did, with little more than sealing wax and string. But something has been lost in the face of the incessant need to score CV points, create spin-off companies, and descend into ever-narrower specialisms. The greatest of scientists, like physicist Erwin Schrödinger, have often thought profoundly outside their own particular specialisms; others, like Francis Crick, one half of the pair who unravelled the mysteries of DNA and partly inspired by Schrödinger, had the versatility to switch fields entirely.
Many virtues of that vanished age, before the intellectually narrowing pressures on today's careers, are preserved in the person of the veteran British mathematical physicist, Roger Penrose—a theorist of black holes and quantum particles, sometime collaborator of Stephen Hawking, and an unlikely best-selling author. I met the 85-year-old don in the new Mathematical Institute at Oxford, where he is still cooking up challenging new ideas. You have to enter the building across a tiling scheme Penrose invented in the 1970s, which covers the courtyard in a pattern that seems to be orderly but can never quite repeat itself.
Although his insights are often fiendishly technical and expressed in eye-watering mathematics, Penrose is irrepressibly eclectic in his learning. He is given to mixing the insightful with the wildly speculative in a way that is almost unknown today, floating ideas that younger colleagues would never dare to—such as the notion that quantum mechanics might explain consciousness. Penrose shrugs off labels such as "maverick," pleading that he is "much more accepting of conventional wisdom than most of the others I know." It is hard to tell how…

Vitamin D is a fat-soluble vitamin and is naturally present in very few foods. It can also be produced by the body when ultraviolet rays from the sun come in contact with the skin. Not only is Vitamin D essential for promoting calcium absorption and bone growth, but combined with calcium, it can help to protect older adults from osteoporosis.

Fun in the Sun
Sun exposure can provide you with a significant amount of Vitamin D. A few sessions of 15 minutes each per week will be sufficient for most individuals. This requirement might increase during winter months or if you are living in an environment without adequate sunlight.
Apart from getting your Vitamin D from sunlight, you can also take it in the form of a supplement. Experts recommend that people with a Vitamin D deficiency should consume ?g (1000 IU) of Vitamin D daily. Elderly people and individuals with dark skin should consume additional Vitamin D to ensure good health.

The New York Times recently carried a story about a family with a string of papers in Vermont that's actually succeeding (http://www.nytimes.com/2013/08/16/business/media/vermont-sisters-with-roots-in-news-embrace-small-town-papers.html?pagewanted=all&_r=0>).
Three twenty-something daughters of Angelo Lynn are all in the business, helping run small-town papers in places like Colchester and Killington. Christine Haughney's story focuses on how the girls didn't really plan on helping out their father in the newspaper business but have now embraced it.
The story offers quite a lead: "King Lear's three daughters had their lands and loyalties to fight over. Jane Austen's Dashwood sisters had the prospect of marriage to occupy them, and Anton Chekhov's three sisters had military officers to brighten their days," wrote Haughney.
"None of them ever contemplated a future as risky as newspapers," she stated. Me thinks Christine may have been an English major in college.
The story is one of hope. "We have this chance and this opportunity to be pioneers and change our career and change this industry," said Elsie Lynn, 26.
The story goes on to relate how well the sisters are doing in helping their Dad run the papers, how they're bringing in advertising and doing all the grunt work associated with a small town press.
The Times story relates the latest big-city newspaper stories — the sale of the Boston Globe and Washington Post — but makes the point that it's a little different in more rural communities. "In these parts of Vermont, where Internet connections are less reliable and winter snowstorms block roads for days, readers often prefer print," the article states.
There's also a comment from Alan Mutter, a newspaper consultant: "Weeklies in healthy communities that do a good job reporting on local news and serving local businesses are by far the healthiest of publications."
I'm not so sure that you couldn't extend that statement to include dailies, as well. The trick is the paper's use of the Internet, social media, etc. Print has its place. It's just not the same place it was. It may still land on the front porch but the paper product must now play a different role in the digital age. We're still working on that one.

The Winners: Seven News was top with 1.427 million viewers, Australia's Got Talent at 7.30pm next with 1.370 million. Today Tonight was third with 1.339 million and Criminal Minds at 8.30pm on Seven fourth with 1.334 million. Nine's 7.30pm program, Farmer Wants A Wife averaged 1.184 million (think of it as a rural talent quest. It is interesting to see people a bit unvarnished). Nine News was sixth with 1.166 million and Seven's Gangs Of Oz was seventh at 9.30pm (which it won) with 1.162 million people. Home And Away won 7pm with 1.145 million for Seven in eighth spot. Next was A Current Affair, with 1.084 million. Tenth was Nine's 7pm repeat of Two and a Half Men with 1.065 million and 11th was Spicks and Specks at 8.30pm for the ABC with 1.050 million. Next was Nine's 8.30pm program, The Mentalist with 1.038 million and the 7pm ABC News was 13th with 1.033 million. The Biggest Loser at 7pm averaged 939,000 and House, 871,000 for Ten at 8.30pm.
The Losers: House at 871,000 isn't really good enough. Chandon Pictures at 9pm for the ABC, 431,000. If Spicks and Specks averaged 1.050 million (and is heading for its last season given the tiredness showing around the edges), then Chandon Pictures is a big dud, ratings or no ratings. Over 600,000 viewers left the ABC when it started after Spicks and Specks. That's a big vote of no confidence.
News & CA: Seven News again won nationally and in every market but Melbourne, as did Today Tonight. Sydney was again a weak spot for Nine: the 7pm ABC News had more viewers, as did Seven. Nine News was strong in Melbourne (a message to Sydney, perhaps?). The 7.30 Report averaged 821,000 viewers. Lateline, 255,000, Lateline Business, 188,000. Ten News averaged 899,000; the Late News/Sports Tonight, 371,000. 6.30pm SBS News, 155,000, the 9.30pm edition, 227,000. 7am Sunrise 401,000, 7am Today, 291,000.
The Stats: Seven won All People 6pm to midnight in all demos and in all demos 6pm to 10.30pm, bar the 16 to 39 group, which Ten said it won in the commercial share battle with Nine and Seven. Seven had 32.2% (33.7%) from Nine with 26.4% (24.4%), Ten with 19.9% (20.6%), the ABC with 16.2% (16.8%) and SBS with 5.4% (4.5%). Seven won all five metro markets, but Nine leads the week with 28.7% to 28.5% for Seven. In regional areas, a win to Prime/7Qld with 33.2%, from WIN/NBN with 25.9%, Southern Cross (Ten) with 18.8%, the ABC with 14.7% and SBS with 7.3%.
Glenn Dyer's comments: Seven had a good night, Nine's was okay, Ten's was weak. Seven, however, hasn't caught Nine like it did last week. That's because of the loss of viewers Sunday night and the higher numbers for Nine's Oscars broadcast on Monday night from 9.30pm to midnight. Seven has been down on last week for all of the week so far. Tonight and tomorrow night should see Seven pull past Nine, but the finish in All People will be tight. The Mentalist scraped back over a million viewers at 8.30pm and is certainly a better proposition for viewers than Ten's House, which suffers from a weak lead-in. Nine quietly buried Flashpoint, its 9.30pm program from the start of ratings (which was heavily promoted in the summer). It doubled up Cold Case with a fresh and then a repeat episode from 9.30pm to 10.30pm.
Tonight: Will Life On Mars continue dying for Ten at 9.30pm? That's after Law and Order SVU at 8.30pm and Bondi Vet at 8pm and The Biggest Loser at 7pm to 8pm. If Life On Mars loses more viewers, that's another 2009 dud for Ten. It has quite a few. Nine has Getaway and 20 to 1 AO and then CSI Miami. Seven has Ghost Whisperer (the show is boring, I heard her whisper). Grey's Anatomy and Private Practice. Then Scrubs at 10.30pm. The ABC has The 7.30 Report and then Q&A and then Lateline. SBS has the usual Inspector Rex repeat at 7.30pm.

Held annually, these celebratory events showcase stories about the transformational leadership growth experienced by principals and business leaders who have journeyed together for a year and beyond as partners for possibility.
This year, the Johannesburg leg of the celebration will feature a keynote address by Nolitha Fakude, the executive director of energy company Sasol. Crispin Sonn, executive director of the Gamiro Investment Group, will be the keynote speaker at the Cape Town event.
In April 2019, PfP reached a major milestone in the organisation's nine-year existence with the launch of its 1000th partnership. Since its inception, the PfP programme has grown steadily, and its reach now extends to cities, towns, and in some cases remote areas, across all nine of South Africa's provinces.
Children who have the freedom to play today — making friends, getting lost in the moment, having fun — are better prepared for whatever tomorrow throws at them.
School teachers across South Africa are urged to hold at least one lesson out of doors on 7 November 2019 as part of the increasingly popular Outdoor Classroom Day campaign.
The internationally recognised, award-winning Partners for Possibility programme officially released its brand-new video in May 2019.

If we are to rescue South Africa's' ailing education system, we cannot underestimate the role of business. It is now, more than ever, necessary for the spheres of business and education to work together as a formidable force for change
Frank, but generative discourse about the role of business in education characterised Symphonia for South Africa's 2019 Business in Education events that took place in Johannesburg and Cape Town in June.
The 2019 Execs Back To School day proved to be a valuable opportunity for courageous, conscious business executives to experience and sense the daily realities faced by their counterparts in the South African education system
CEOs and top executives from some of South Africa's most prominent companies including Sasol, Nedbank, Standard Bank, MTN, Consol Glass, Sphere Holdings and Edcon swapped the boardroom for the classroom when they participated in the country's one-of-a-kind Execs Back To School initiative hosted in Cape Town and Johannesburg on 1 and 7 August 2019 respectively.
The establishment of 1,000 empowering partnerships for possibility between school principals and business leaders across South Africa was celebrated in Johannesburg this May.
Dr Mzukisi Qobo, Associate Professor of International Business and Strategy at Wits Business School,was the keynote speaker at PfP's 1,000 partnerships celebration held at Rembrandt Primary School on 29 May 2019. The event saw PfP participants and team members, along with representatives from partner organisationsand other education stakeholders, gather to celebrate an important milestone in the life of the PfP programme.
Thursday the 23rd of May was a beautiful crisp, blue sky, Autumn day in South Africa. More than 300 schools and 54 000 children had signed up to take part in the Global Outdoor Classroom Day. Collectively around the world more than 1, 7 million children were doing the same.
Outdoor Classroom Day is a global campaign to inspire and celebrate outdoor learning and play. On the day, thousands of schools around the world take lessons outside and prioritise playtime. As well as having fun, they will show how important and easy it is to give children more time outdoors.
The campaign is about more than just one day; it is a catalyst to inspire more time outdoors every day, both at school and at home. To achieve this, the campaign has three aims:
The inaugural 2018 Execs Back to School initiative was a resounding success. Some of the CEOs of the country's most prominent companies participated in this initiative that was driven by Symphonia for South Africa (SSA), powered by Sphere Holdings, and based on New York City's PENCIL Group's 'Principal for a Day' campaign.
Read on to discover how the day unfolded, and what you can expect to experience if you decide to 'go back to school' this year
The CEOs and top executives form some the South Africa's largest companies including Sasol, Vodacom, Pearson, HP, Ethos Capital, Consol Glass, Sphere and Africa Rising Capital swapped the boardroom for the classroom in October 2018 to participate in the inaugural Execs Back to School day – the first event of its kind held in South Africa. The executives spent the day at one of 27 government-run schools around Johannesburg, Soweto and Tembisa, and accompanied the school principal as they performed their daily duties.
The work of Symphonia for South Africa (SSA) is to receive a sustainable financial boost through a collaboration with leaders in commercial-scale installations of solar Photovoltaic systems, Emergent Energy South Africa.
Emergent's innovative project, Donate your Roof (DYR), seeks to encourage large corporates to 'rent out' their roofs for solar power generation. The savings accumulated from using solar power, as opposed to electricity provided by an already over-burdened Eskom, are then donated to Symphonia for SA.
Emergent CEO, Yoann Joyeux, explained why partnering with a progressive ''doers of society'', like Symphonia SA, makes sense.

The label writer 450 is so easy to use, it's also super fast.I was worried that the print would smudge on the clear labels, but I can't get any of the print to smudge on any of the labels.The software is also very simple to use and with the option to import images I found using my company logo an absolute breeze, I had created and printed my labels in just a few minutes.I haven't been able to say this for a while now but what a great service and a great product.

With blow-by-blow coverage of the Greek sovereign debt crisis dominating headlines, casual observers could be fooled into thinking that finding a resolution in Athens remains the only issue of strategic concern for the European Union, which has seen its international prestige shaken by the continued economic concerns in its periphery and the apparent lack of coherence within its political elite.
However, as plans for the asset stripping of Greece begin to take shape, the specter of another old, pre-crisis geopolitical concern has raised its head.
DEPA, the Greek natural gas company, is one of the government's key assets up for privatization as the country tries to raise cash to cover its soaring national debt. Small relative to some of its continental peers, DEPA nonetheless could hold considerable strategic importance as Greece emerges as a significant link in a southern gas transit corridor that Brussels hoped would help to diversify Europe's energy supply.
Russia, through its state monopoly Gazprom, is the largest single supplier of natural gas to Europe. Users of the gas and policymakers - particularly those in the new EU members the Baltic states and Eastern Europe - remain concerned that this dependency gives Moscow an undue amount of political leverage and pricing power.
The Third Energy Directive, announced in 2007 as part of the European Commission's attempts to complete an internal market within the EU, is supposed to unbundle supply, production and transmission of energy, which some analysts say should significantly hit Gazprom's business.
"Liberalization of the European market… objectively speaking, is a huge problem for Gazprom," Alexander Rahr, director of the Russia and Eurasia program at the German Council on Foreign Relations (DGAP), told CNBC.com. "It is losing its assets in Poland, the Baltic states, maybe even in Germany, and can hope to conduct its business with Europe only through negotiated exceptions, and that does nothing towards sustainability."
This has also been the rationale behind the EU's support for new pipeline initiatives, including Nabucco, which will connect the union to gas fields in Azerbaijan, and the southern gas corridor, which aims to link Southern Europe to Central Asia via Turkey.
Pipeline projects in the region include the private-sector funded Trans-Adriatic Pipeline (TAP) and the Italy-Greece-Turkey Interconnector (IGTI), a joint venture between DEPA and Edison that has received EU funds.
Some analysts, including Marko Papic at Stratfor, remain cool on Nabucco.
"The natural gas that is supposed to come through Nabucco hasn't come online and it doesn't seem that Azerbaijan really has any intention to provide all the natural gas to Nabucco, or that it can," Papic told CNBC.com.
"So the European Union decided to reduce its enthusiasm (for Nabucco) by looking at smaller, more viable alternatives, and one of those is the Italy-Greece-Turkey Interconnector. So that's the part where DEPA comes into play, because it's part of that particular alternative," he said.
Gazprom on the Prowl
DEPA is up for sale, and according to a number of analysts, Gazprom is in the race. Gazprom did not respond to requests for comment.
"As the state-owned national gas company in Greece, a stake in DEPA by Gazprom would give the Russians considerable say in what projects are transiting Greece," Papic said.
Gazprom has already expanded into the Balkans, buying a controlling stake in Serbia's gas and oil monopoly, NIS, two years ago, and is "plugging the holes" of alternative channels of supply, according to Papic. It is also increasingly influential in regulatory discussions, he said.
"We've seen in Poland, for example, how the close relationship between the Polish national gas company and Gazprom has allowed Gazprom to have a say in how Warsaw was going to regulate the Third Energy Directive," Papic noted.
"The independent energy regulator ended up not really being as stringent as the European Commission would have wanted," he said. "In Greece, ownership of DEPA will not mean that these (transit) projects are going to be scrapped, it just may mean that they may accept, for example, Russian natural gas.
"The Russians are looking to slowly geographically block out as much as possible, and Greece fits into that," Papic added. "One possibility would be that they would use their influence in Greece's natural gas infrastructure to pump their own gas through these supposed alternatives."
Kjetil Tungland, managing director of the Trans-Adriatic Pipeline, which aims to connect Italy to gas supplies on the Turkish border via Greece, told CNBC.com that there could be a more commercial, less strategic reason for the mooted interest.
"Gazprom is supplying DEPA with volume for the Greek market in the area of 2-3 billion cubic meters. These contracts expire in 2016, which, in this business, is more or less like tomorrow… Gazprom might be interested in buying into that to control the prolongation of those contracts," he said.
However, he concurred that the increasing influence that Gazprom could exert over discussions on regulation and transportation is a likely motivation.
"I think the European Commission is struggling to construct a comprehensive policy, and they can see now where one very important decision regarding diversification is going to be taken far away from Brussels," he added.
German Influence
Baltic and Eastern European members of the EU, particularly Poland, still maintain that the Kremlin has neo-imperialist ambitions in their backyard, and see any kind of dependence as dangerous.
The old core nations, particularly Germany, which has strong bilateral commercial relations with Russia, are far more sanguine, preferring a strategy of cautious engagement and acknowledgement of Moscow's geopolitical and security concerns.
Interactions between the EU and Russia have warmed after a four year period where clashes over interference in Georgia and the Ukraine, as well as the "cyber war" with Estonia "brought relations to a stalemate," DGAP's Rahr said.
Germany is unwilling to risk its lucrative business deals with Russia, according to Rahr. "They understand very well that business with Russia is not a one-way street. They cannot say to the Russian Federation, open your borders to us and at the same time close the German markets for the Russians because of political reasons," he said.
"The fear of Russian investors who hide behind the democratic mask but in reality belong to the KGB - which is very popular in the Baltic States, or in Poland or other parts of Central and Eastern Europe - do not exist in Germany so much. It exists, but only on a certain level," he added.
Germany's resistance to anti-Russian rhetoric is significant, analysts said, not least because it undermines the coherence of the European position.
Berlin's willingness to phase out nuclear energy by 2020 following the Fukushima nuclear crisis in Japan shows that the Germans are willing to back up their political stance with actions that could deepen their exposure to Russian gas, Stratfor's Papic noted.
The construction of the Nordstream pipeline linking Russia to Germany is another demonstration, he added.
"You have Nordstream coming online, which is a direct line between the EU's most powerful member state and Russia, so you can't take really that strategic concern that the European Commission is exhibiting seriously," he said.
"The German-Russian relationship has deepened and that's why there doesn't seem to be a unified front on the European end... There's really no coherence anymore with Europe's policy. It's not just that there's a different perceptions of Russia within Europe, it comes down to Germany."
Germany's current economic pre-eminence in Europe, as well as its leading role in resolving the euro zone debt crisis, means that its decisions carry weight in Europe.
Berlin has taken a leading role in managing the Greek situation, and is likely to have a say on many of the mechanisms being designed for its resolution – including the new administration being created to manage the privatization process. This means that German pragmatism over Russia is likely to overcome the EU's longer term strategic concerns, according to Papic. If Gazprom bids for DEPA, no one is likely to stop them.
"If Germany is in charge of handling the euro zone crisis, and with what we have seen in the past 6-12 months, why would we assume that the Germans would say no to Gazprom's purchase of DEPA?" he said. "There's just no evidence to back that up. There's no evidence that Germany is thinking about this at that strategic level."

Thick Plumes and Cloud of Smoke Over Russia64.3N 112.0E
A thick cloud of smoke completely obscures the Russian terrain below it in the left side of this image, while to the right, many individual fires releasing thick plumes of smoke can be discerned.
These fires have been plaguing central and eastern Russia over the last few months, consuming thousands of hectares of boreal forest.Russian firefighters have been battling huge blazes in Siberia for months.
Central Russia experienced record warm temperatures 11 – 12°F (6 – 7°C) above average during June, feeding fires that have burned more area in 2012 than in 2010–the year of the unprecedented heat wave that killed over 55,000 people.
The smoke from these wildfires were caught by the jet stream and have blown all the way to British Columbia, Canada and Seattle, Washington causing heightened amounts of air pollution, hazy days, and, the strangely positive side effect of amazingly brilliant sunsets.

Scores killed as tsunami strikes Samoa islands
Issued on: Modified:
A tsunami triggered by a massive 8.3-magnitude earthquake has washed over the Samoa islands and Tonga in the South Pacific, killing more than one hundred people.
AFP - At least 113 people are dead after a huge Pacific earthquake and tsunami hit the Samoan islands and Tonga on Tuesday, a hospital worker and officials said.
"There has to be more than a hundred, the last count was at 2:00 pm (0100 GMT Wednesday) and there were 84 bodies," a worker at Samoa's Tupua Tamasese Hospital told AFP.
Officials said 22 had died in American Samoa and another seven in Tonga.
Dozens more people were missing and feared dead, but officials in South Pacific islands said communications were down to many outlying villages.
In American Samoa, about 100 kilometres (63 miles) from Samoa, Homeland Security director Michael Sala said the tsunami which followed about 20 minutes after the earthquake, did most of the damage.
"We have 22 confirmed dead and it could go much higher," said Sala, who added the wall of water, which he estimated at 25-feet (7.5 metres) high, swept ashore demolishing buildings.
The eastern part of American Samoa was without power and water supplies after the devastating earthquake, which struck at 6:48 am (1748 GMT).
In Tonga, government officials said there were seven dead and three missing on the small island of Niuatoputapu.
The officials flew over the island from the capital Nuku'alofa but were unable to land because of damage to the airstrip.
They said they would make their way there by sea overnight to assess the full extent of the damage.

In a nutshell: Beef products found with de-worming agent (for dogs) found recalled. Another reason to eat local grass-fed beef.
from the press release
WASHINGTON, July 27, 2011 – Northwestern Meat, Inc., a Miami, Fla. firm, is recalling approximately 6,240 pounds of frozen boneless beef products imported from Honduras that may contain the animal drug Ivermectin, the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) announced today.
Ivermectin is a broad-spectrum anti-parasitic and is used as a de-worming agent in live animals. (i.e. heartworm medication for dogs)
The following products are subject to recall:
–60-pound cases of "C&D" brand bulk-packed cartons of boneless beef with a package code of "LOT. N60 146-11 A" or "LOT. N60 146-11 B" and a processing date of "26.05.11" all shown on the box label.
The problem was discovered through FSIS routine sampling of beef muscle tissue from Honduras establishment #4 (Empacadora C&D) on July 18, 2011. The production lots that produced violative results were refused entry into the U.S. and are not available in commerce. However, Honduran authorities later notified the FSIS Office of International Affairs that additional implicated product derived from the same source materials shipped into the U.S. on an earlier date. These are the products that were released into commerce and therefore subject to the recall.
The products subject to recall were produced on May 26, 2011 and shipped to further processors in Florida and Illinois. FSIS and the company have received no reports of illness or adverse reactions due to consumption of these products. Anyone concerned about an illness should contact a health care provider.
FSIS routinely conducts recall effectiveness checks to verify recalling firms notify their customers of the recall and that steps are taken to make certain that the product is no longer available to consumers.
FSIS is responsible for assuring that imported meat, poultry and egg products are safe, wholesome, unadulterated, and properly labeled and packaged. FSIS randomly samples products at ports for drug and chemical residues.

The perfect analogy. Detective Frank Drebin in The Naked Gun: From the Files of Police Squad! (1988) is an imposter, an undercover cop pretending he's a major league umpire and hoping no one catches on. He's a cop in an area and venue he knows nothing of and about. But once he says the right thing and hears the roar of the audience's applause he's off and running. Repeating that which inspired the ovation even though he has no idea of what he's doing or what it even means. Classic operant conditioning meeting Pavlov head-on.
Today's media Drebins. Now, let's meet these guys. Today's crop of talented folks — in their own specific fields — often stray beyond their ken and bailiwick. Take the inimitable troika of Neil deGrasse Tyson, Penn Jillette and Bill Nye: astrophysicist, magician and mechanical engineer, respectively. Media darlings and popular among the throngs of doting admirers. Fine. And since they're the darlings of the nescient, impressionable and easily duped left, they debunk and validate a host of ideas and concepts, often with serious political and international global consequences, without the slightest idea of what they're speaking of or about. GMOs, aliens, climate change, global warming, conspiracy theories, Big Brother, surveillance, glyphosate, JFK's assassination, 9/11 . . . the list is endless. And as for aliens, Tyson mockingly derides those who claim EBEs exist or have visited, thus calling into question a host of notables, including astronauts, military personnel, heads of state and even (though this probably means nothing) the Vatican astronomer. Watch his aliens schtick here and you tell me if this guy's Shecky status hasn't gone a little too far.To be fair, Sagan the Great also provided yeoman's work in gatekeeping but with a certain degree of elegant aplomb.
It's a free country. And it's not that they are not allowed to opine on a subject, it's that they provide the lamest and weakest of substantiation either for or against a topic without any understanding of the deeper issues and implications. Not to mention, Nye's 180 as to GMOs after attending a meeting with Monsanto execs redefines suspicious. And as for Jillette, well, Penn believes there's nothing to anything, except for his half-baked and diluted attempts at refutation. But one must admire his deftness in dropping F-bombs with a frequency and verve that's unequaled.
It happens. Because, when you enter the world of rock star, media darling and pop culture icon, it can affect you. Look no further than Noam Chomsky, who, in addition to some pretty brilliant observations, provides a jaw-dropping dismissive explication of 9/11, the Fed and JFK's assassination.
Oh, yes, one more thing. The incredible complexity of Yemen.

November is here and that means Thanksgiving is just around the corner! Last week I posted my Great Grandmother's recipe for homemade noodles. I was a little disappointed in my Great Gran… but she has redeemed herself! This week I made her recipe for pumpkin pie and it turned out perfect! The flavor was mildly sweet and the spices were perfectly balanced and not at all overwhelming. The texture of the pie was smooth and silky which contrasted nicely with the flaky tender pie crust. This was my first time making pumpkin pie and it turned out beautifully. Great Grandmother, if you're reading this up in heaven, I give you 2 thumbs up! I really enjoyed making and eating this 1900's vintage pumpkin pie recipe!
Lets get to the recipe card. First off, no directions just ingredients. I so badly wish she gave a little more detail in her recipes but it's okay I can google how to make pumpkin pie no problem. The ingredients are pretty clear except for a few things. It says 1/3 tsp. allspice, nutmeg. I assumed that meant one or the other but I could be wrong. Maybe I was supposed to add 1/3 tsp. of each? That was a little confusing. I also found it funny that the recipe called for strained pumpkin OR sweet potato. If I used sweet potato wouldn't that make it a sweet potato pie? I thought that was funny. Lastly I found out that rich milk is a term they used in the old days for whole milk, none of that skim or low fat milk for this pie. Check out below how I made this recipe.
Vintage Pumpkin Pie Recipe
I first blended up all the ingredients in my blender except the whole milk.
I brought my milk up to a boil and then slowly poured it into the pumpkin mixture and blended until smooth and creamy.
Next I poured this into a homemade pie crust that had been baked for 15 minutes.
I placed the pie in a 450 degree oven for 15 minutes then turned the heat down to 350 degrees and cooked another 45 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool completely. Place in the fridge a couple hours to chill. With the leftover pie dough I cut up and baked these cute leaves to garnish the pie.
It turned out perfectly and tasted just as good as it looked.
I think it's time to go have another slice.
Below is the printable recipe card for this vintage pumpkin pie. Enjoy!

FAQs on Unicompartmental Knee Arthroplasty in Gilbert, Chandler and Mesa AZ
Unicompartmental knee arthroplasty accounts for about 8 to 10 percent of all knee replacement surgeries performed by US surgeons. An alternative for those with partial knee damage, the procedure has minimum post-operative complications and patients have faster recovery with only a part of the knee is replaced with artificial implants.
What is unicompartmental knee arthroplasty?
Unicompartmental knee arthroplasty refers to replacement of one of the three knee compartments. The knee joint has three important compartments – the inner side or medial part, the outer side or lateral part, and the front or patellofemoral area. The procedure involves replacing only the damaged compartment with artificial implants and leaving other two compartments untouched.
The partial knee replacement surgical procedure is for patients with just one of the three knee compartments affected by arthritis and having strong, healthy ligaments.
What are the benefits of unicompartmental knee arthroplasty?
The biggest advantage of unicompartmental knee arthroplasty is that a major part of the knee is left untouched and healthy bone, cartilage, and ligaments continue to provide more natural strength and functional flexibility compared to total knee replacement. The surgery also offers less pain, reduced post-operative complication, less bleeding, and faster recovery. It delays the need for total knee replacement and if the need arises, the total replacement can be performed after years.
What are conditions treated with unicompartmental knee arthroplasty?
Unicompartmental knee arthroplasty is best suited for patients suffering from moderate joint pain and disability due to one of the knee compartments affected conditions, such as
- osteoarthritis
- traumatic injury
- low bone density
- arthritis
Who is a candidate for unicompartmental knee arthroplasty?
A patient is recommended for unicompartmental knee arthroplasty if
- he has severe localized arthritis in one of the three compartments of the knee
- No damage to the ligament or other compartments
- he has used all nonsurgical options without any major relief
- the condition is significantly affecting the knee function and causing pain
Who is not a candidate for unicompartmental knee arthroplasty?
The procedure is not for those with significant arthritis damage to the knee joint, inflammatory arthritis, or with knee or bone infection. Another important element is the condition of the anterior cruciate ligament. Those without a healthy ligament may not be suggested for partial knee replacement. Knee deformities, obesity, immature bones, loss of significant tibia bone, frequent knee joint subluxation, patellofemoral damage, unhealthy knee ligaments, and neuromuscular stability disorder also write off one as a candidate for unicompartmental knee arthroplasty.
How is unicompartmental knee arthroplasty performed?
Surgery is carried out after the patient is placed under general anesthesia an incision made through the front knee. An assessment is made to evaluate cartilage damage across all three compartments. If the damage limited to one compartment with no ligament injury, the option for unicompartmental knee arthroplasty is considered.
For lateral and media compartment arthroplasty, special saws are used to resurface the bones and remove damaged part of the cartilage. Metal implants are used to cover tibia and femur surfaces. A plastic component is inserted between reconstructed metal surfaces to act like the cartilage and ensure smooth gliding surface.
If the arthroplasty is performed to replace the patellofemoral compartment, an open incision is made in the midline on your front knee. Surgeons remove the worn out or damaged portions. A metal surface is attached to the thighbone and a plastic surface is fixed to the posterior side of the kneecap. While dome-like plastic implant is attached to the kneecap, a metallic shield is placed around the trochlear groove.
A local anesthetic is injected to ensure pain relief after the surgery.
How long does unicompartmental knee arthroplasty surgery take?
The surgery takes around 1 to 2 hours depending on the complexity and the knee damage.
Do I need to stay at the hospital after unicompartmental knee arthroplasty?
Most patients are advised for hospital stay that varies from 1 to 3 nights depending on the knee surgery. They are discharged with adequate instructions on pain management, blood clot prevention, and rehabilitation process.
Do I need rest after unicompartmental knee arthroplasty?
Patients are advised to take rest for a week to avoid any complication or failure of implants due to stress.
What are the restrictions following unicompartmental knee arthroplasty?
- Keep the incision bandage clean and dry
- No showering for 3 days
- Rest and RICE therapy (rest, ice, compression, and elevation)for a week
- No driving for 4 weeks
- Use crutches for 4 weeks
- Avoid weight bearing for 12 weeks
- Use a brace between 4 and 12 weeks
- No jumping or running for life
- Shun high-impact activities to avoid implant wear and tear
What kind of rehabilitation is needed following unicompartmental knee arthroplasty?
Knee mobilization through passive exercises starts on the next day and continues along with soft tissue activation for week. Patients need to join physical therapy program in the second week and continue the same until full recovery.
The rehabilitation includes stretching of leg muscles, knee flexion, and pain free motion. The patient gradually turns to progressive aerobic and strength-training workouts after 3-4 weeks. Light weight impact exercises give way to high-impact ones after 6-8 weeks.
How long is the recovery period following unicompartmental knee arthroplasty?
Complete recovery takes 3 to 6 months depending on the patient and the rehabilitation program. You can join office work in 2 weeks. But heavy activities must be avoided until 8 weeks.
What are the potential complications of unicompartmental knee arthroplasty?
There may be common surgical complications, including pain, stiffness, nerve or blood vessel injury, swelling, bleeding, and infection. Blood clot is common following unicompartmental knee arthroplasty and it needs special attention to avoid heart attack and stroke. Loosening, dislocation, or failure of implants may also occur.
