Will my SBI Clerk Prelims Results be Valid?
Yes, they are valid. SBI Clerk 2016 Prelims Results were released on 15th June 2016 after a tiny delay. This delay was due to the controversy surrounding the new eligibility criteria for SBI Clerk & SBI PO.
While Madras High Court has given a temporary go-ahead with SBI Clerk 2016 Recruitment Process, it has implied that its final judgement will have an impact on the results of the entire recruitment process.
What this means is that it is possible that the vacancies filled through these results could be slashed, and a fresh round of recruitment may be held for those who could not apply earlier. This can only mean one thing – increased competition! Now there may be more candidates vying for fewer vacancies, which will mean you will need to be at your very best.

I presented a seminar on InDesign and Photoshop CS4 in Birmingham, AL last week, for the delightful folks at EBSCO Media. It's always fun doing events with them because they're technologically wise, and have a great collective sense of humor. They drum up large and lively crowds for the events, which makes for a lot of positive energy.
During one of the breaks, one of the attendees came up to me and said "Rufus says hello."
Wait… I only know one guy named Rufus: Rufus Deuchler, the charming and absurdly talented Adobe evangelist based in Italy — and I'm pretty sure he isn't in Birmingham.
I ask, "You know Rufus? How is he?" The attendee says "No, I don't know him; I was tweeting about being here at this seminar, and he picked up on it on Twitter, and tweeted back 'tell Claudia hello for me.'" It was like a tap on the shoulder from across the world.
I'm so unhip — I confess I'm behind the curve on social networking; I should have started blogging long ago. I was dragged unwillingly onto Facebook (and it's proving to be more of a time-vampire than a truly useful professional tool). And I think I'm too verbose to be a Twitterer. Tweeter? Twit? (I don't know what Twitter participants are called…) But I'll confess it was kind of cool to be on the receiving end. Maybe I'll give it a shot: is there a "Twitter for Dummies"?
Just looked on Amazon: sure 'nuff, the "Dummies" book is due in July 🙂
Oh, and hi, Rufus, wherever you are.

ABERDEEN PROVING GROUND, Md. (AP) — Army officials say a dog checking a truck at Aberdeen Proving Ground in Maryland alerted for potential explosives, sparking a three-hour closure of one of the installation's gates.
Officials said in a statement Wednesday that while the truck was inspected further, the driver and a passenger were questioned.
The installation's police worked with the Maryland State Fire Marshal's office and Army Explosive Ordnance Disposal to investigate. After about three hours, spokeswoman Heather Roelker says security forces cleared the truck and the installation returned to normal operations.
Aerial images from local television stations showed police vehicles by the Maryland Avenue Gate and a tent set up on the shoulder.

The Women's Pavilion & Birthplace at Cary Hospital is the first and only hospital to have a baby in Cary. Our expert, caring staff welcomes more than 2,500 babies each year. We provide a flexible, family-centered environment with modern, tasteful décor aimed at making you feel more comfortable and relaxed. Most importantly, we have the latest technology available to support the care of you and your baby.
Private, Home-Like Suites Our private suites for labor, delivery and recovery feature a shower and tub with whirlpool jets for hydrotherapy during labor. There is also a sleep couch, rocking chair and bistro table. Each room includes a mini-refrigerator, video player/TV and WiFi for Internet access. The Coach's Corner, just down the hall, is equipped with an ice machine, microwave and vending options.
Specialized Care Mothers and babies are moved to a private room after delivery, where they both receive specialized care from our mother/baby nurses. Our nurses are specially trained to advise moms in newborn care and breastfeeding. A lactation consultant is also available to help with breastfeeding.
Level III NurseryIn the event you encounter any problems with your baby's birth, or if your baby requires special attention, you can rest assured that your baby is in good hands. WakeMed Cary Hospital has a Special Care Nursery, which provides care for babies needing short-term intensive care.
What to Expect Day 1 through Discharge When you first arrive to our Women's Pavilion & Birthplace (WP&B) in Cary, you will go directly to Patient Registration, located to the right of the waiting area. There, you and/or your partner will fill out necessary paperwork before being escorted back to our Labor & Delivery area. Wheelchairs are available for moms who need them.
Labor Once you arrive in your Labor & Delivery room, you will meet your labor and delivery nurse, who will start you on an IV. Our traditional maternity care option allows you to labor, deliver and recover in a private labor suite. During labor and delivery, you will be cared for by an experienced labor and delivery nurse, who will assist you in having the most positive birth experience possible.
Your labor and delivery nurse will ask you several questions regarding your personal health and birth plan - for instance, do you wish to have a natural birth or an epidural? Your nurse will continue to work closely with you throughout the entire labor and delivery process to ensure we meet your preferences as best we can. See the WakeMed Birth Day Wish List for additional guidance At this point, based on your wishes, you may or may not receive certain medications, such as an epidural. Meanwhile, up to four people are allowed to be in the room with you as you labor and deliver. If you are in active labor when you arrive to the hospital, you may not see your obstetrician until it is time for the delivery of your baby. If you are here for a scheduled induction, you will see and speak with your obstetrician prior to delivery. During labor, you will have access to an in-room Jacuzzi tub. Some women enjoy sitting in the tub as they labor. Additionally, all of our rooms are equipped with a TV and a mini-fridge.
Delivery Once your baby is born, he or she will be placed in a warmer located directly in your room. If there are no concerns about your newborn's health or well-being, he or she will be stabilized right there beside you, and we will encourage you to start skin-to-skin immediately. Skin-to-skin is when a naked baby is held against his or her mother's naked skin.
You and your baby will stay in your labor and delivery room for around two hours. During this time, your obstetrician will make any necessary repairs to your body, and your baby will be weighed and measured. This is an important time for you and your baby to bond, and you may even want to try breastfeeding.
Post-PartumAfter delivery, you will be moved into a post-partum room, where you will stay for an average of two days. However, if you've had a Caesarean section, you will stay for an average of three days. Click for more information about Cesarean births. A nurse with expertise in caring for mothers and newborns will help you with the physical and emotional changes that occur with the birth of a baby. All necessary supplies for you and your baby are kept in your room or brought to you as needed.
As part of our family-centered approach, the Women's Pavilion & Birthplace encourages rooming-in, where your baby is kept in the room with you rather than the nursery. This is special time for you to get to know your newborn and learn how to care for him/her and for yourself, and is especially helpful for those who are breastfeeding.
In the first 24 hours of your stay, both you and your baby will be examined every four hours. Mom will be examined to ensure she is healing properly after birth and there are no post-birth complications, and baby will be checked for temperature, heart rate and respiratory health. In the second 24 hours of your stay, you and baby will be checked every 12 hours. Additionally, mom's obstetrician will visit her once a day, and baby's pediatrician will visit him or her once a day as well.
If you are breastfeeding, a certified lactation specialist will check in with you at least once per day to assist you with breastfeeding or answer any questions you may have. Important to note - many of our nurses also have lactation certifications and can be wonderful resources for our breastfeeding mothers.
During your two-day stay, you will have an opportunity to have your baby photographed by a professional photographer - please feel free to bring any special outfits or props. And you will also receive the information and paperwork necessary to send away for a birth certificate for your little one.
Important Treatments and Testing for Baby You can expect that your baby will receive several treatments and tests while you are in the hospital. Many can be performed in your room if you wish. They include:
Meals & Room Supplies Each day during your stay, you will receive a menu that allows you to make selections for your meals. Meals will be delivered to you in your room by our Food & Nutrition Services staff. Your partner or anyone staying with you in your room can purchase meals and/or snacks in our hospital cafeteria, Points West Café; The Bistro on the first floor; or the Gift Shop, also located on the first floor.
Additionally, a member of our Environmental Services team will empty your trash daily, while members of your nursing team will keep your room stocked with fresh bath towels if you need them, as well as diapers, wipes, burp cloths and blankets for the care of your baby.
Other Things You Should KnowYou are encouraged to bring to the hospital your infant car seat carrier so that staff can check it for safety. Additionally, please note that we will not provide you with pacifiers or formula for your baby during your stay.
Videotaping is permitted after the baby is delivered. Photos and video are not permitted during delivery or during any procedures involving mom or baby at any time during the hospital stay. Taking photos or videotaping staff or providers is not permitted without their prior approval. Photos and video must not include other patients, their babies or visitors.
DischargeA nurse will come to your room to give you discharge instructions. During this process, he or she will verify your hospital band next to your baby's band one last time. You will be allowed to keep one of your baby's bands.
Car Seat SafetyYour baby's car seat is the safest way for him/her to travel. North Carolina law requires that your baby travel in an approved car seat.
At WakeMed, we are dedicated to the safety of your baby. We recommend that you read the car seat safety booklet, install the seat in your vehicle and become familiar with the car seat prior to your baby's birth. Many local fire, EMS and law enforcement personnel are certified in car seat installation and safety. The National Highway Traffic and Safety Administration is a great place to learn more about keeping your precious new baby safe on the road.
Our top priority is to protect the health and wellbeing of our patients, their families and our staff who are working on the frontlines. While we recognize the important role that visits from loved ones play in the healing process, we must have visitation restrictions in order to protect lives.

Virtua Fighter 5: Final Showdown (PlayStation 3)

ESRB Rating

DescriptionVirtua Fighter 5 Final Showdown is the final revision of Virtua Fighter 5. From the previous revision Virtua Fighter 5R, released only in arcades, comes the addition of two characters (the sumo wrestler Taka-Arashi, making his return from Virtua Fighter 3 and the katateka Jean Kujo, in his first appearance) as well as improved animations for all characters, new fighting locales, an improved camera system and extra items for the characters' outfits.
Regarding gameplay the throw-escape system has been simplified: while in Virtua Fighter 5 the correct escape direction out of five directions had to be input together with the appropriate throw command, in Final Showdown directions have been reduced to three, and holding the punch and guard buttons registers as both throw escape and guarding. Also new from 5R are short bounces; moves that will hit an opponent into the ground and bounce them back up, extending combos. Overall combo lengths are longer than VF5, but shorter than VF5R.
As for new content in the home version, this revision presents training and tutorial game modes; this aids the less and the more learned of the players to acquaint themselves with the fundamentals of attacking, guarding and dodging, as well as to practice and discover the renewed throw-escape system and the around one hundred moves for each character. The training mode includes visible inputs, a movelist along with realtime updated damage, frame data, and frame advantage, and a training dummy with both selectable AI and programmable input commands. Single-player modes include a simple arcade mode and challenge mode where a series of fights must be won under specific conditions, such as performing specific moves or defeating opponents with additional HP.
Online modes consist of ranked matches, player matches, and 8-player room matches. Videos of matches can now be saved, shared online, and examined with tools similar with those given in the training mode.

Digital radiography (digital x-ray) is the latest technology used to take dental x-rays. This technique uses an electronic sensor (instead of x-ray film) that captures and stores the digital image on a computer. This image can be instantly viewed and enlarged helping the dentist and dental hygienist detect problems easier. Digital x-rays reduce radiation 80-90% compared to the already low exposure of traditional dental x-rays.
Dental x-rays are essential, preventative, diagnostic tools that provide valuable information not visible during a regular dental exam. Dentists and dental hygienists use this information to safely and accurately detect hidden dental abnormalities and complete an accurate treatment plan. Without x-rays, problem areas may go undetected.
Dental x-rays may reveal:
Detecting and treating dental problems at an early stage may save you time, money, unnecessary discomfort, and your teeth!
Are dental x-rays safe?
We are all exposed to natural radiation in our environment. Digital x-rays produce a significantly lower level of radiation compared to traditional dental x-rays. Not only are digital x-rays better for the health and safety of the patient, they are faster and more comfortable to take, which reduces your time in the dental office. Also, since the digital image is captured electronically, there is no need to develop the x-rays, thus eliminating the disposal of harmful waste and chemicals into the environment.
Even though digital x-rays produce a low level of radiation and are considered very safe, dentists still take necessary precautions to limit the patient's exposure to radiation. These precautions include only taking those x-rays that are necessary, and using lead apron shields to protect the body.
How often should dental x-rays be taken?
The need for dental x-rays depends on each patient's individual dental health needs. Your dentist and dental hygienist will recommend necessary x-rays based upon the review of your medical and dental history, a dental exam, signs and symptoms, your age, and risk of disease.
A full mouth series of dental x-rays is recommended for new patients. A full series is usually good for three to five years. Bite-wing x-rays (x-rays of top and bottom teeth biting together) are taken at recall (check-up) visits and are recommended once or twice a year to detect new dental problems.
It's been a great experience being a part of the Doc Savage Orthodontic Team, with such great services provided for our daughters. As a mother, I feel so good knowing that they are in great hands with Doc Savage's care, and I feel confident in the work he does especially with my one daughter who has faced many challenges and future implants. And it's wonderful to come & enjoy a cup of coffee a & relax while I wait!
-(October 2017)-Robyn
Doc Savage and his team have been amazing. Both of my girls have had great results, one with braces, and the other with Invisalign. My youngest daughter was convinced her teeth weren't moving because she never had any pain after having her braces adjusted/tightened since her friends all said it was painful. Well, they did move...nice and straight. That's just how good they are.

Review – Buffy The Vampire Slayer: Season 9 #2 Freefall Part 2
Script: Andrew Chambliss
Pencils: Georges Jeanty
Inks: Dexter Vines
Colors: Michelle Madsen
Letters: Richard Starkings & Comicraft's Jimmy Betancourt
Cover: Steve Morris
Alternate Cover: Georges Jeanty
Executive Producer: Joss Whedon
Published By: Dark Horse Comics
A quick recap of Freefall Part 1, we find Buffy attempting to start a new life in San Fransisco as she tries to find and understand her place in the world. Buffy is also battling some of her fiercest enemies yet, bill collectors! Most importantly though, she is struggling with the destruction of the seed and the repercussions that it is having on the world and her friends. In issue #2 Georges Jeanty's artwork is superb and captures the nuances of the characters in a remarkable way. His work really helps to put the final touches on the emotions that Buffy and the Scoobies are feeling.
In Freefall Part 2 we find Buffy still struggling with her place in the world and what she wants to do with her life. Still seeing the ramifications from the lack of magic in the world, she is still doing her best to not deal with it. Buffy is at a crossroads wishing that she could just be normal and not have to be the defender of the world. This time though she not only has to deal with demony types trying to get her, she now has regular old humans after her too.
We have appearances by the whole crew and have Spike doing what he does best, being sarcastic and, above all, having Buffy's back. We also see Xander and Dawn being kind of thoughtless and downright jerky to Buffy, especially considering that they would be dead many times over if not for her. I really hope this entire Xander and Dawn dating storyline wraps up soon, I for one am not a fan of it! Finally, we are left with a very interesting, can't wait to see what happens, "twist"(hint, hint). Depending on how this new storyline plays out it could be really different and awesome. I would definitely recommend reading this comic, it is moving the storyline along nicely and is a must read, I already can't wait for the next one.

The tale of the Aloha Cheerleaders' struggle against Lincoln high. High points include such events as the Aloha girls raiding a Lincoln classroom to get drugs, then putting aforementioned drugs in the cafeteria food while the state school inspectors are present. Worth the rental price just so if you ever meet David Hasselhoff, you can say "Hey, I loved your work as Boner!"
LOTS of nudity (even an eyeful of Mr. David Hasselhoff, future "Night Rider" stud), juvenile sex hi-jinx, drug use, food fights, and all the other delinquencies that are to be expected from the "teen romp" B-movie subgenre.

Ace in the Sky - Red Baron Airplanes: Alfred von Richthofen Airplanes
Red Baron - Manfred von Richthofen
The Red Baron, whose real name was Manfred Albrecht Freiherr von Richthofen, was the most famous German flying ace of World War I. He had a very short flying career, which spanned just over half of World War I, and died at the age of 25 in April 1918 after being shot down over Morlancourt Ridge, near the Somme. He was officially credited with 80 air combat victories, though further review of data has shown that the number may have been closer to 100.
As for Red Baron airplanes, all were Fokkers, or Albatroses, plus one Halberstadt D.II.
Fokker Airplanes
The Fokker Red Baron airplanes included the Fokker Eindecker and the famous Fokker Dr. I triplane. The Dr. I became most readily associated with Richthofen, even though it was late in 1917 before he is believed to have flown this type of plane exclusively. Twenty of his credited 80 air combat victories were made in this triplane. It is also the type of plane he was flying when he was killed in April 1918. It was widely used by the Germans during the spring of 1918.
Fokker was famous well before creating the Red Baron airplanes. The first one used in World War I was the M.5. These were soon armed with machine guns that fired through the propeller, thanks to a synchronization gear developed by Anthony Fokker. At this time, the M.5 became the Fokker Eindecker, one of the most feared planes over the Western Front in 1916.
Albatros Airplanes
The Red Baron airplanes made by Albatros evolved steadily throughout World War I. The first plane flown by Richthofen was an Albatross C.III, a two-seat general use biplane that was eventually produced in larger numbers than any C series Albatros. It was used for photo-reconnaissance, bomber escort, and light bombing, and is the plane that Richthofen trained as a pilot in.
The Albatros D series included the D.I, D.II, D.III, D.V, and the D.Va. This series rapidly evolved due to battlefield needs, and most models were around for only months before being replaced. The D.I was powered with different engines, including the Mercedes D.III and the Benz Bz.III, which were powerful engines. Richthofen is not recorded as flying a D.I, but he did fly the D.II, D.III, and D.V.
The D.II was made in response to pilots' need for better upward vision. The upper wing was repositioned closer to the fuselage and staggered forward, and the cabane struts were rearranged. Otherwise it was the same as the D.I in terms of fuselage and engine installation and performed basically the same.
The D.III was the German's preeminent fighter in the spring of 1917, also known as "Bloody April." Besides being flown by Richthofen, it was also flown by top German pilots Erich Lowenhardt, Karl Emil Schafer, Ernst Udet, and Kurt Wolff.
Because the D.IV was an experimental platform, the next Albatros used in combat was the D.V. It had a redesigned fuselage and the same wing structure of the D.III. The D.Va was a version of the D.V that was produced later, and with a 180 HP engine.
The Halberstadt
The Halberstadt D.II was another of the Red Baron airplanes. It was a biplane fighter of the Imperial German Army Air Service that was used through early 1916, but it wasn't long before this plane was superseded by the better Albatros fighters, which began their dominance in the fall of 1916.
The list of airplanes flown by Manfred von Richthofen (the Red Baron), in the basic order in which he flew them are as follows: 1916: Albatros C.III, Fokker Eindecker, Albatros D.II; 1917: Albatros D.III, Halberstadt D.II, Albatros D.V (in which Richthofen received a non-fatal head wound), Fokker Dr.I triplane (which Richthofen flew from 1917 into 1918, and in which he was killed).

We had a wonderfully busy summer, with my mum and sister both visiting, and all three kids enjoying time at summer camp. Before we knew it, we were half way through August and hadn't yet had a family holiday!
This is not unusual for us.
We are notoriously bad at getting ourselves organised and booking trips! But, we were determined to make the most of the last couple of weeks of summer vacation and we really wanted to get back to Cape Cod. My husband worked his last minute magic and found us an Airbnb house (with a pool *squeal*) in Mashpee, on the Cape, and off we went for four days of complete relaxation.
It was much needed and it was awesome!
We watched the eclipse. We read books. We visited the Cape Cod Children's Museum while we waited to get into the house (less of a museum, more an epic play space). We ate at our traditional lunch spot – three years in a row makes it a tradition! – the Sesuit Harbor Cafe. We played mini golf. We took in the Cape Cod Natural History Museum. And, we spent lots of time by the pool.
A perfect mini-break.
I was so glad the sun shone and we were able to see the (partial) eclipse, a great experience for the kids
This is the despair of a man whose eight year old son has just solved a puzzle that he couldn't
This was the only time we made it to the beach! To be fair, the weather was against us for most of our trip, but still!
The Natural History Museum had a brilliant scavenger hunt for the kids, finding the troll was on the list, as was checking what your wing span was.
And my favorite spot? Right here… feet in pool, drink in one hand, book in the other *sigh*
It was wonderful to just get away for a few days, I can't remember the last time we did so little! We really took it easy, no pressure to do things, visit places, keep busy. And to be honest, if it hadn't rained we probably wouldn't have visited the Natural History Museum!
I'm so glad we managed to get a few days away as a family, and maybe next year we might actually be organised enough to make it a week *ahem*.
Eudora Welty
I began these 'Snapshots' posts over the summer, when my days were too busy having fun with my kids to spend time writing about the fun we were having. They are a way for me to record the moments, but not feel obliged to write War and Peace. Capture the days as they happen. No SEO, no pinnable images, no stress. So, I'm going to continue to write them, and keep those moments from running away.

Have your Lumia cake and eat it too – literally!
It's hard to deny that the Nokia Lumia 900 is delicious looking phone. But is it good enough to eat? Normally no, unless it's made out of cake.
We're not sure what the occasion was, but Nokia just posted a few pictures on Facebook of some incredible cakes inspired by the beautifully different Lumia 900. As you can see there is one for both the white and cyan variants with their respective packaging.
No matter how you feel about Windows Phone and Nokia's devices, you have to admit, the skills of the decorator are definitely eminent and it really is a great choice of device to duplicate with a confectionery masterpiece.

text: China's Tencent to Acquire 'Clash of Clans' Developer Supercell for $8.6B 3:54 AM PDT 6/21/2016 by Patrick Brzeski FACEBOOK TWITTER EMAIL ME AP Images/Invision The Chinese internet giant is buying a controlling 84 percent stake in Supercell from Japan's SoftBank, valuing the Finnish gaming firm at $10.2 billion. Cementing its position as a heavyweight of the global gaming industry, Chinese internet giant Tencent on Tuesday unveiled a deal to acquire control of Finnish mobile game maker Supercell from Japan's SoftBank Group for nearly $8.6 billion. The agreement values Supercell at $10.2 billion. Tencent will acquire up to 84 percent of the company in stages, and the Chinese firm is holding discussions with potential co-investors to join in, it said in a statement. Best known for creating the global gaming phenomenon Clash of Clans, Supercell will retain its independent operations, with its headquarters remaining in Helsinki, Finland. Its existing team will continue to run all operations of the company. Clash of Clans was the world's highest-grossing mobile game by revenue last year, with receipts of $1.35 billion, according to SuperData Research. Supercell's games are played by an estimated 100 million daily active users. In parallel to the purchase agreement, Tencent and Supercell have entered into marketing and publishing arrangements regarding the distribution of games developed by the latter company in China. Further details were not disclosed, but Supercell CEO Ilkka Paananen said: "We want Supercell to be the world's best place for creative people to create games. At the same time, this new partnership offers us exciting growth opportunities in China, where we will be able to reach hundreds of millions of new gamers via Tencent's channels." Tencent president Martin Lau emphasized the approach his internet company would take towards the gaming hit maker: "Supercell is known for its creativity, focus on player experience and unique culture, which have enabled it to create innovative mobile games that are wildly popular globally. Tencent is dedicated to building long-term strategic partnerships with leading game companies. We are excited that Supercell is joining our global network of game partners, and will preserve their independence and enhance their advantages, thus bringing even more exciting gaming experiences to players around the world." Tencent's other international gaming holdings include Los Angeles-based Riot Games (maker of League of Legends), which it acquired in 2011 for about $230 million. The Supercell transaction is expected to close during the third quarter of the year, subject to customary regulatory approvals and closing conditions. Tencent has been a particularly active international dealmaker lately. Earlier this month, it joined Los Angeles-based Tang Media Partners in the establishment of a new television production joint venture with Stuart Ford's foreign sales, financing and production company IM Global. One week later, it followed that agreement by partnering with Hollywood power agency WME-IMG and Sequoia Capital China to create a new China joint venture, WME-IMG China.

This guest post is By Judy S and entry in our non-fiction writing contest .
Sometimes I think we all see the future when the SHTF through slightly rose-tinted glasses… some folks almost seem to be looking forward to it. Ha, you say, not us, we're preparing for TEOTWAWKI, we know what we'll be facing and we will be ready. We are stocking up. We are going to be the survivors. We can make our own soap. We can grind our own grain and raise chickens and dry herbs. We have lavish stockpiles of toilet paper and toothbrushes. You should just see all our guns and ammo and sharp knives and slingshots, oh my! We'll hunt and fish and trap tasty critters for the family table. We'll raise our own healthy veggies. We'll can, preserve, dehydrate, jell, salt and smoke a hearty winter food supply to fill our hungry bellies. We'll make it! Yes, we will. It will be a walk in the park! Just look how prepared we are.
Think about this while there is still time. Brain-sucking zombies aside, are we really prepared to suddenly face a life style of two centuries ago – to turn our soft palms and pasty fingers into strong work-callused capable hands? Are we actually going to be able to provide for ourselves with no police, no fire department, no hospitals or medical care, no dentists, no electricity, no running water, no corner grocery, no gas stations? Not for a few weeks or months, but long-term. Look around you, assess your comforts, treasure your luxuries – count your blessings. For blessings they are. Blessings we will not fully appreciate until they are gone, mere memories that are the stuff of tales we'll tell our round-eyed, vaguely disbelieving grandchildren by the toasty fire on a cold winter's night.
Are we prepared to watch our children die from measles, chicken pox, strep throat or whooping cough? To see our elderly deteriorate because the medicines they need are no longer available? To watch a simple cut become blood poisoning and attempt to amputate our loved one's leg in hopes of saving their life? Do we have the mental toughness to attend a woman who has labored in vain to give birth for three days and watch helplessly as she bleeds to death? Our ancestors did, you say, and we can too. We're tough and we have skills. We'll adapt. We have decades of increased knowledge. We have modern medicine, uh, okay, maybe not that, but we'll never be as isolated as our great-grandparents were. Unless we ARE. Who will you trust? Who will have the skills? How can you find them or pay them? Poverty is the great leveler.
Being without power for a few hours, or even a few days, is annoying instead of deadly because we are prepared. We make it through and pat ourselves heartily on the back. Good job! It was tough, but we sailed right through it because we are prepared. Okay, that's fine. But what about when there is no more power AT ALL. When we don't know that there will be power in a few hours or days? What about when there is no end in sight? When all the newness of using those pretty oil lamps and candles has worn off… when filling the oil lamps, trimming the wicks and cleaning lamp chimneys has become a chore. When the noise of the generator is no longer a reassuring sound that let's us know the fridge is still working, but instead just sounds like precious fuel being consumed at an amazingly rapid rate.
How long are we mentally and physically prepared to carry on without all the luxuries we now take for granted? A few days of washing in a basin of room temperature water is bearable, even in the heat of summer. But how long will it be before a basin bath gets old and the memory of a hot shower or a long soak in the tub with bubbles up to your chin becomes an almost painful yearning? Have you ever used lye soap – it is some harsh stuff. Those 36 bars of Ivory on the shelf will eventually be used up and Mom will be far too busy cooking and preserving and gardening and milking and tending the chickens and mending and teaching the children their ABCs to make lotions and potions.
Cooking on the grill or camp stove is fun! Yeah, for a few days. Maybe even a couple of weeks. But every day? For months, maybe years? Not so much. Aha, you say, WE have a wood stove and we have actually cooked meals on it. It was great! But how long will it be before filling that wood box, cleaning out those ashes and starting that fire becomes a chore? How long before merely providing a family with a couple of hot meals each day becomes a full-time job in a kitchen that is sweltering in the summer and has ice on the water bucket in the winter? Hmm, that takes some of the romance out of it.
That lovely garden out back is quite nice. When your stockpiled canned goods are gone can you feed your family from that produce until the next harvest? Really? What if there's a drought or a hail storm or a big wind that rips it all out of the ground? What if the deer eat it all up? How many hours will you have to devote to do the work that will be necessary just to keep food on your table? Gardening won't be a relaxing hobby. It will be a matter of thriving or starving. Do you have the skills and the stamina?
But I can hunt and fish, you say. Do you bring home the "bacon" every time you go into the woods or to your favorite fishin' hole to drown a worm? Do you know when not to hunt? When it's breeding season? When the youngsters are dependent on their mothers for survival – gotta have that next generation growing big and strong for your future larder. Do you know how to preserve those fish or that venison when pressure canning and freezing are no longer options?
Are we getting so wrapped up in the "adventure" of living off the land, being self-sufficient, going back to a simpler way of life, however your particular vision can be described, that we are ignoring the fact that there will be some very harsh realities to face? I'm afraid many of us are doing just that. It won't be "Little House on the Prairie," folks. No vacation camping week of "roughing it." This will be a huge every minute, every thought, every action change even for those of us that are in the process of getting prepared for it. There will be hard, grinding, back-breaking work. There will be successes to celebrate and failures to learn from. It will be exciting and rewarding, frightening and depressing, and possibly deadly. It will be our new reality. Some of us, because of our prepping, will make it. Some of us, in spite of our prepping, will not.

Robby Muse-Myers' cross country season is still alive.
But the road to state in Indiana for the Lebanon High senior isn't guaranteed, and he'll have his work cut out for him at regionals this weekend in Noblesville.
Whether his season ends there may be a bittersweet moment for a runner who has improved so much over four years. As a freshman, he began his career in a duel meet and finished in just over 20 minutes. Four years later, he's set a career PR of 16:47.40 and is a captain of his Lebanon team and its No. 2 runner.
State would be great, but that's not where Muse-Myers' story begins or ends, either.
The decision is the hard part, and it's coming. It's always coming. Robert Muse-Myers is a Lebanon senior, one of the fastest cross-country runners in the area and soon he'll have a choice to make - but not too soon. He's running the first mile in 5 minutes, 20 seconds. He's cruising. His thoughts are happy, for now.
That's just a glimpse of The Indy Star's recent feature on Muse-Myers, written by one of the best columnists in the country, Greg Doyel.
I urge you to read this endearing and inspiring story.
While cross country is a part of his journey, Muse-Myers' long road to success goes far beyond it.

Interested in a full-on defecting and optimizing automated push feed saw system? With RazorGage, you can do it for prices starting at less than $46,000! And we're not talking about a slow, stripped down computerized saw system.
Even our base model includes our Cyclone-600 saw (accepts up to a 24 inch blade), automatic top, left and right clamping, downloading, crayon defect mark scanning, board length sensing, optimizing, inkjet printing and up to three days factory tech time for installation and operator training in the US or Canada (within 2-hours of major airport).
All RazorOptimals run on PC's running Windows 10 Professional that have built-in networking and multiple USB ports. You can choose to plug in a USB flash drive to load your cut list data or download your cut list from any of your networked computers.
Your operator will run the saw system from a 21-inch color touch screen. The main screen is simple to use. RazorOptimal systems are easy to learn and easy to use. Other companies force operators to work from tiny black and white LCD character screens–meaning they have to memorize features and operations. How archaic! –Like cutting wood with a stone ax.
Feature example:
The operator can choose to see the scan result or he can "Scan & Go" meaning the RazorOptimal will start the cutting process immediately after the system has completed scanning the crayon defect marks and length of the board.

He welcomes comments about his observations, and readers may write to him email@example.com visit his web site and blog atwww.edwinleap.com.FigureEmergency Medicine News: August 2009 - Volume 31 - Issue 8 - p 6 doi: 10.1097/01.EEM.0000359172.29865.6c Metrics Last night, a sick child and his brother in our emergency department asked for crayons and a coloring book. On the surface, it seemed like a great idea. You know, distract them while the medical issues were managed. But before the nurse went into the room to dispense the colored wonders, I did what any modern, caring, careful physician would do. I instituted a time-out. "Are these the crayons you're taking? Are these the children who want to color? Will this be the room in which the children color? Is this the right coloring book?" I asked. Fortunately, the nurse's answer to every question was "yes," so there were no Crayola "never events." There was, perhaps, some whispered profanity directed at this physician. Still, another life was saved by cautious use of yet another rule. Hallelujah! Here we are, in the era of the time-out. For the layperson who picks this up at a family member's house, the time-out is a way to ensure that surgical patients don't get the wrong procedure. Hernia repairs don't turn into vasectomies, regulation breasts aren't accidentally augmented or removed, normal legs aren't amputated as the diseased leg watches in relief. I joke, but these are serious issues. Surgical errors like this have happened, and the results are tragic. Over the years, surgeons have developed systems. They would do things like write in indelible marker things like "right" and "wrong" or "yes" and "no" on the appropriate appendages of their surgical patients. Procedures were enacted to ensure that grave errors didn't occur while patients who might otherwise justly and appropriately protest were snoozing under general anesthesia. A fine idea, except that some surgeons I know already had good safety measures in place, and the updated plans made things more confusing. The idea of making certain a procedure is done to the right person and in the right location is a sound one. The concept, however, has trickled down, as so many things do, to the emergency department. Now, before doing things like incision and drainage of abscesses, sedations and joint reductions, or lumbar punctures, we're supposed to do a time-out. The thing is, our patients aren't like surgical patients. Come at them with a large needle or scalpel, and they're apt to say, "What are you doing? I'm here for my blood pressure!" Offer to stick a needle in their back for spinal tap, and you'll be greeted with, "Man, all I want is some Lortab and a work excuse!" There's a fundamental difference between what we do and what happens in the operating room. When we emergently shove a chest tube in a dying accident victim, it's evident that this is the dying trauma victim. Put a chest tube in the non-chest trauma patient, and she might say, "So does this mean I'm not pregnant?" It's considerably more difficult to drain a bulging, pus-filled abscess in a surprised person who doesn't have a bulging, pus-filled abscess. Nevertheless, doctors being the fundamental idiots we are deemed to be, we have been rescued from cataclysm by legions of brilliant rule-makers, consultants, and other assorted carpet-walking members of the human race. Their extensive time-out procedures are now being put in place in emergency departments all over the country. It goes roughly like this: Before beginning the procedure, the nurse asks the patient his name and birth-date. The patient responds with a sigh, "For the third time, I'm Robert Heinz, 2-19-54." The nurse proceeds: "And we are draining fluid from your knee, correct?" The patient responds: "Do you see how swollen it is?" The nurse looks exasperated (because he or she doesn't like it any more than the physician). The nurse looks at the doctor. "Do you have all of your necessary equipment?" The doctor asks: "Do you have the chainsaw, block-and-tackle, and donor brain?" The patient laughs, the nurse laughs, the procedure…proceeds. It's all more of the same thing that bogs down our departments and reduces efficiency. I suspect that emergency departments were not the places where catastrophic errors were resulting in life-shattering accidental surgeries. But, just like health reform, no one is really asking regular folks who work in the real world. Allegedly smarter people are looking at what we do and telling us how to do it better, without darkening the doors of our already overwhelmed national safety net. The time-out joins a long list of speed bumps, like every imaginable screening assessment asked of our nurses (nutrition, abuse, immunization, illicit drug and alcohol), the home-medication reconciliation form, the onerous restraint documentation form, and the ever-popular one-on-one observation required for everyone who even thinks the word "suicide." Though no one believes it, we were doing a jam-up job before improving ED efficiency became a career option. And though accidents happened, we were remarkably careful and successful for a group of providers tasked with doing everything for everyone for free. So we're stuck with the time-out. Like every "good idea," it probably won't go away until a meteor wipes out life on Earth. (And by that, I mean productive, healthy, functional life. Some of our patients will thrive in the post-apocalypse.) But before it does, we'll have to ask some final questions. "What's your name and birthday?" "Is this the meteor that's going to kill you?" "Do you have all of the equipment necessary to be obliterated?" Then we can rest in peace.© 2009 Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, Inc.View full article text

If you're not sure how to get trained up on BPMN - or BPM - Bruce Silver's training is a good place to start:
All this hubbub about BPMN and case management, would doctors and lawyers use it, and other nonsense?? They could learn to do it, but that?s not the intended audience.?? And it would probably surprise some to know that technical developers are not the primary audience, either.? So who exactly is BPMN for, and why do they use it?
In my experience, the main purpose of BPMN is to document, analyze, and improve business processes.? The process improvement, if it?s taken that far, is not necessarily automation in a BPMS.? Well less than half of my students are looking to automate their processes.? The people who use it call themselves BPM project team members, business analysts, architects, and consultants.? They often live in the IT organization but their perspective is that of the business.? They are not technical.? And they don?t need to be.
BPMN is a visual language for describing ?process logic? in a diagram.? Process logic simply means the order of the steps, the various paths possible from process start to end.? It doesn?t describe other useful information about the process, such as the data, the systems, the forms and screenflows, the business rules, problems and goals, or KPIs.? Process modelers are often interested in those things, too, and many BPMN tools let you model them, but each in their own way.? The point of BPMN ? the process logic part ? is that the meaning of the diagram is independent of the tool used to create it.? It?s a standard, supported by many tools.
Bruce's training is still the gold standard. There's much more in his post than what is quoted here, go read it!

Calipari, who was wooed by N.C. State among others, now has his last two trips to the Final Four voided.
The NCAA announced Thursday that Calipari's Memphis team will have to forfeit all of its 38 wins and its appearance in the NCAA championship game in 2007-08. Memphis was found to have given approximately $1,713.85 in impermissible travel benefits to the brother of a player and to have had an ineligible player on the team we won't name here (Derrick Rose).
The NCAA did not consider any allegations against Calipari and made no finding against him personally. Paul Dee, the former Miami athletics director who chairs the NCAA's Committee on Infractions, said Calipari was helpful and responsive when he appeared before the committee.
The only effect this case will have on Calipari is to expunge the wins and Final Four appearance from his record that season. So now Calipari has Final Four trips vacated in 2008 with Memphis and 1996 with Massachusetts.
Except for bad publicity and losing yet another trip to the final four – Calipari's 1996 Umass team has already forfeited a Final Four appearance – there doesn't seem to be much direct impact on the Wildcat's new head coach. Calipari has put together one of the best recruiting classes of all time.

Study is another step in determining if curry can protect against Alzheimer's
A new study has found that curry, a common and popular cooking additive, could be an effective enhancer of an enzyme that protects the brain against oxidative conditions. This research is an important first step in determining whether curry could be preventive agent against acute neurodegenerative conditions, or reducing the progression of chronic and age associated neurodegenerative disorders, such as Alzheimer's disease.
Free Radicals and Neurodegenerative Disease
One of the most prominent current theories of aging is the "free radical theory." According to this theory, free radical molecules generated through mitochondrial metabolism can act as causative factor of abnormal function and cell death. Various toxins in the environment can injure mitochondrial enzymes, leading to increased generation of free radicals and oxidative stress, that over the life-span would eventually play a major role in aging. Free radical's oxidative damage to key intracellular targets such as DNA or proteins has been shown to be a major cause of the degenerative diseases related to aging such as cancer and Alzheimer's disease.
Luckily, mammalian cells have developed highly protective systems against including oxidative challenges over time. When properly activated, each one of these cell systems has the possibility to restore cellular homeostasis and resume the ability to fight off oxidation. Activation of antioxidant pathways is particularly important for tissue with relatively weak antioxidant defenses, such as the brain. In fact, increasing evidence points to the notion that reduced cellular expression and activity of antioxidant proteins and the consequent oxidative stress are fundamental causes for brain aging processes and neurodegenerative diseases.
HO-1 and Curcumin
There are a variety of genes encoding proteins that possess anti-oxidant properties. Of particular interest in the central nervous system (CNS) is the hemeoxygenase-1 (HO-1), which has been reported to operate as a fundamental defensive mechanism for neurons exposed to an oxidant challenge.
At the same time, a number of studies have supported the beneficial effects of some commonly used natural products in preventing various pathologic conditions. Spices and herbs often contain phenolic substances with potent antioxidative and chemopreventive properties. Among them is curcumin, a natural phenolic agent, extracted from the rhizome of Curcuma Longa, and the yellow pigment in curry, strongly induced HO-1 expression and activity in rat astrocytes.
In recent years, there has been an unprecedented interest in identifying new pharmacological strategies to increase defense mechanisms by activating multiple antioxidant defense genes, a process that has been referred to as programmed cell life. Previous studies have shown that induction of HO-1 can represent an efficient antioxidant system and a potential pharmacological target in a variety of oxidant- and inflammatory-mediated diseases, including brain aging and neurodegenerative disorders.
A New Study
A new study extends previous findings examining the neuroprotective effects of curcumin and its ability to induce HO-1 on cultured hippocampal neurons. This research effort investigated the effects of curcumin on the expression profiles of other genes involved in the cellular stress response. The study also explored subcellular localization of HO-1 protein in one of the large cells of nervous tissue after treatment with curcumin.
The investigators of a study entitled "Curcumin Cytoprotective Effect in Rat Astrocytes and Neurons is Mediated by Specific Induction of HO-1," will present their findings at the American Physiological Society's (APS) (www.the-aps.org) annual scientific conference, Experimental Biology 2003, being held April 17-21, 2004, at the Washington, D.C. Convention Center. The research team represents two countries. The Italian researchers are Giovanni Scapagnini from the Institute of Neurological Sciences, CNR, Catania, Claudia Colombrita and Vittorio Calabrese at the Dipartimento di Scienze Chimiche, Universita' di Catania, and Alessia Pascale, at the Department of Experimental and Applied Pharmacology, Universita' di Pavia, Pavia. In the United States, the researchers are Michael L. Schwartzman and Nader G. Abraham from the Department of Pharmacology, New York Medical College, Valhalla, NY.
Rat type 1 astrocytes and rat hippocampal neurons were exposed to various concentrations of curcumin. After each treatment (six or 24 hours), cells were harvested for the determination of heme oxygenase activity and protein expression. The researchers also measured the expression of HO-1 and Phase II detoxification enzymes mRNAs by real time quantitative RT-PCR.
Neurons growing in 24 wells were also exposed to different concentrations of curcumin, and cell viability was determined at 24 hours. Other neurons were pretreated for 18 hours with curcumin 15μM or curcumin 15μM + zinc protoporphyrin IX (ZnPP IX) 10μM and then exposed for two hours to 50 mu/ml glucose-oxidase (GOX), before cell viability was determined.
Treatment of astrocytes with curcumin increased expression of HO-1 protein at both cytoplasmatic and nuclear level, as shown by immunofluorescence analysis under laser-scanning confocal microscope. The researchers also found a significant expression of quinone reductase and glutathione S-transferase, two members of Phase II detoxification enzymes, in astrocytes exposed to 5-15 μM curcumin. With exploration of the effects of curcumin on HO-1 activity in cultured hippocampal neurons the researchers found elevated expression of HO-1 mRNA and protein. Higher concentrations of curcumin (50-100 μM) caused a substantial cytotoxic effect with no change in HO-1 protein expression. Interestingly, pre-incubation (18 h) with curcumin 15 μM resulted in an enhanced cellular resistance to GOX mediated oxidative damage; this cytoprotective effect was considerably attenuated by ZnPP IX, a specific inhibitor of heme oxygenase activity.
This study identifies a novel compound that could be used for therapeutic purposes as potent inducers of HO-1 for protecting brain cells against oxidative conditions. The researchers believe that additional in vitro and in vivo studies are necessary to determine whether curcumin can be used as preventive agent against acute neurodegenerative conditions that affect an increasingly aged population.

The latest fad for garden sheds is the addition of a living green roof which can help to make the garden shed blend into the background as well as making a haven for various wildlife. What is important is for the garden shed to be strong enough to take the weight of the added roof as this consists of the earth for the grass and the weight of the grass, flowers or plants bedded into. Also important is that the angle of the roof is at least 5 degrees so that the shed roof will be self-draining.
Traditional garden sheds roof won't be strong enough so will need extra roof trusses and also the main purlins in the shed may need to be added to. When you do this you need to be transmitting the weight down to the ground through the garden shed walls. With a little planning and correct placing of the timbers, this will not be a problem. After strengthening the roof itself you need to add a waterproof membrane onto the shed roof, possibly using some black mastic to ensure a good seal with the shed roofing felt.
Another consideration is the direction the shed roof is facing and this will help to determine what plants you can put on it. Is your garden shed exposed to wind and are there any trees nearby as windblown seeds can become a nuisance. If you keep an eye on this it should not be a problem but if left to their own devices the roots could eventually break through the shed roof membrane. Generally speaking, green roofs are normally sedum but if you decide to add plants and flowers you are likely to need more earth on the shed roof and as importantly the shed roof will need more maintenance.
At the Philadelphia International Flower Show which showcases the world's top gardens and exotic plants from around the world, there were examples of eco-friendly garden sheds for gardeners and visitors to see. The global theme for the show was 'Passport to the World'. Guests were greeted with a hot air balloon, which was 28 feet high dwarfing the garden sheds and stands at the show, and was covered in 80,000 dried flowers. This Victorian garden display was all set in an area called the Explorers Garden.
A Dutch canal garden was showcased by six of the exhibitors and was planted with 100,000 tulip bulbs, which Holland is famous for with its massive tulip fields. There was also a Zulu village which gardeners could walk through as well as an Amazonian jungle. Besides this, there was a display featuring native plants from New Zealand, many of which could be grown by gardeners. Other displays are from Japan, China, Thailand, England and Scotland as well as many other countries from around the world.
A garden which included eco-friendly elements such as a green roof garden shed, a compost pile (??) and a rainwater collection system was titled 'Grandmom's Green Backyard'.
Jane Pepper, president of Philadelphia Horticultural Garden Society said that the Flower Shows' new title lifts it up onto the world stage and that this is an invitation for gardeners throughout the world to join them in Philadelphia for their superb garden show which does much to highlight the garden at its best.

Working with digital experts Play Nicely, we created a dramatic 3D animation to be projected 300 metres across the Avon Gorge.
