Now-a-days a research paper can have many pages (the paper claiming the proof of abc conjecture is of $500$ pages long!). But is there any paper in the history of mathematics which we can say as the shortest paper ever published in a well-known journal which has a remarkable impact?
3$\begingroup$ Have you looked on MathOverflow? See mathoverflow.net/questions/127065/… and the comments to it. $\endgroup$ – KCd Nov 20 '15 at 18:14
3$\begingroup$ Another related post on MO: Which math paper maximizes the ratio (importance)/(length)? $\endgroup$ – Martin Nov 21 '15 at 8:11
There are many research announcements, sometimes containing few lines, so the question is not very meaningful. French Comptes rendus and old issues of AMS Bulletin have many papers of one page length or less. So they can be only compared by counting letters, and I do not think this counting is a reasnoable occupation.
But if we are talking of serious papers, with complete proofs, and containing great discoveries, then this one is hard to beat:
J. Milnor, Eigenvalues of the Laplace operator on certain manifolds, Proc. Nat. Acad. Sci. 51 N4, 1964, p. 542.
It occupies substantially less than one page, including title, author and reference list. And it is really a great discovery, and frequently cited.
After few searching I found this paper by L. J. Lander and T. R. Parkin on counterexample to Euler's conjecture on the sum of like powers. May be this is the shortest paper?
1$\begingroup$ if your answer covered just how short the paper is (to save having to click the link) it would be a better answer $\endgroup$ – Kate Gregory Dec 16 '15 at 14:28
If you see at the bottom of the contents of American Mathematical Monthly it has a section called "Mathbits".
These are papers less than a page in length.
Maybe there you can find many short papers.
"The shortest paper ever published in a serious math journal":
J. H. Conway and A. Soifer, Can n² + 1 unit equilateral triangles cover an equilateral triangle of side > n, say n + ε?

This City is Heading Down Detroit's Path
North Las Vegas could be the next city to risk bankruptcy if its current trends continue, a new report warns.
North Las Vegas could be the next city to risk bankruptcy if its current trends continue, a new report warns.
"North Las Vegas, while not in default, is nearing insolvency," said Fitch Ratings Director Matthew Reilly. He added that the "dire fiscal picture stems from a steep drop in revenues due to the severity of the recession" coupled with several years of contractually obligated salary increases for city employees. "The city also faces a structural budget deficit, one-time expenses, and restrictions on certain revenue-raising measures," Reilly said in a prepared statement.
His statement accompanied a report released Monday that concludes North Las Vegas, a city of nearly a quarter million that has almost doubled in population since 2000, faces the same factors that led to the bankruptcies in Harrisburg, Stockton and Detroit. Namely, North Las Vegas has made bad financial decisions, has rigid and escalating cost structures and also faces revenue raising limitations and weak economic conditions.
The report notes that America's now bankrupt cities all were hamstrung by financial decisions made years before that increased their liabilities. Yet lawmakers also failed to make necessary decisions to fund those obligations. In particular, the pension benefits in all three cities became burdensome liabilities during the 2000s. Detroit, for example, issued debt in the mid-2000s to shore up a more than $1 billion pension funding gap, only to face a $644 million unfunded liability by 2013. (The city's emergency manager, using different assumptions, says the pension's unfunded liability is closer to $3.5 billion.)
Nevada state law is unclear on whether cities can file for Chapter 9 bankruptcy but a Moody's Investors Service analysis earlier this year noted that "state intervention is possible given the city's significant financial pressures." Under a "severe financial emergency" the state would take over management of the city or Nevada could also provide "technical financial assistance" to review and consult on operations and debt administration. In April, the city barely submitted a balanced budget to the state after officials initially projected a $24 million budget shortfall (nearly 15 percent of budgeted operating revenues). However, North Las Vegas is drawing upon its reserves to achieve the balance.
Adding to those pressures were recent court judgments against the city. One was settled down to $7.7 million after a judge initially awarded $25 million in back pay to public safety workers. The other award was for $4 million in damages to land developers from wrongful pre-condemnation by the city.

Three goals in the second half helped Douglas Youth overcome Vale of Tay 4-3 in the J Cleneghan League fixture held at Drumgeith. A highly entertaining contest was expected pre-match as the sides have near identical league records and both saw an opportunity to put points on the board.
Unsurprisingly the opening stages were a tight affair with each team enjoying passages of sustained possession without troubling either goalkeeper.
The first real incident came in the 9th Minute and it gave Vale of Tay a chance to take the lead from the penalty spot after John Merchant was taken down following a surging run from deep. Kade Mccleary stepped up and his effort was brilliantly saved by Joe Flynn with the rebound finishing over the bar. Buoyed having almost taken the lead Vale of Tay continued to press and Flynn was again required to deflect a shot from distance by Ben Birse. The importance of the saves by Flynn were highlighted as Douglas Youth moved into the lead on the 25th minute, Andrew Robertson directing the ball into the net after controlling Owain McCartney's deep throw.
Vale of Tay responded well to the set back and almost equalised immediately with Birse bringing out another solid stop by Flynn.
Just as it looked as if the away side would hold the advantage at the break, good movement by Liam Luthill created an opportunity for Birse to round the keeper and knock the ball into the net on the 35th minute.

Alzheimers NZ wants government to adopt a two-tier strategy to improve post diagnostic support for people living with dementia.
Chair Ngaire Dixon unveiled the organisation's proposals at its annual conference in Wellington today.
"There is a dementia tidal wave looming as our population ages and we desperately need better care and support for people with dementia, and better care and support for their carers," Ms Dixon said.
"Obviously this needs additional government funding, but that should be seen as an investment."
She said Alzheimer's New Zealand's proposals would have a three-fold impact.
They would increase the quality of life for people with dementia, and that of their carers, and increase the length of time that people with dementia can live in their homes before entering long term care.
Government would also benefit due to a reduction in the costs of providing long-term care for people with the condition and because there'd be few unnecessary hospital admissions that arise from the need for crisis intervention.
Dementia is one of the most significant, and growing, healthcare challenges in NZ and globally.
There are some 60,000 Kiwis with dementia and the condition costs the country over $1 billion a year. Half of those who have the condition will probably not have been diagnosed and therefore will not be getting appropriate care and support.
The number of people with dementia is expected to triple in the next 25 years.
"But far more important than the financial cost is the human cost," Ms Dixon said.
"This conference is all about how we manage that as effectively as possible and how we ensure people with dementia can continue to live productive, dignified lives in which they have a central role in making the decisions that will affect them.
"This conference is about how we ensure people with dementia, and their carers, get the support they need, when and how they need it."
Alzheimers NZ wants 12 months of guaranteed post diagnostic support for each person diagnosed with dementia. That's about 14,000 people each year.
The money would go towards a raft of initiatives, chief among them providing better in-home care and support and information services.
The organization also wants the government to implement the Navigator role as a priority. This is a designated person in the care team for a person with dementia and is their first point of contact. The Navigator role is already part of government policy; government has not yet implemented it.

Signs of Roof Damage
It is important for you to understand the signs of roof damage. On the exterior of your home, signs of roof damage include curled, cracked, torn, or missing shingles. When cleaning your gutters, if you find many loose asphalt granules, it can be a sign of roof damage. On the interior of your home, signs that you should check for include stains in the attic, wet spots, mold, and mildew.

Remember, your roof has a lifespan. Some roofs only last twenty years, while some will last longer, depending on the quality of the roof installation and the type of material used.

The Ulverscroft Foundation supports projects that help visually impaired people. Within any group of people there will be an element of visual impairment; grants can only be considered if the VI element is significant.
In making a decision about whether to support an application, the Trustees will take the following factors into account:
- Sustainability: Preference will be given to projects which will lead to longer-term benefits after the initial funding has ended. Applications which have a short lifespan will have little weighting. For example, a bid to fund an audio-described theatrical performance is unlikely to succeed, while a bid to purchase equipment to provide this service on a ongoing basis would be more attractive.
- Value for Money: The Foundation has a duty to make best use of its resources. They will look at the overall project benefits, noting the number of people who will benefit, the costs and the timescale. You will need to show that you have eliminated unnecessary costs and that you have secured the best prices for any service, equipment or materials you propose to purchase.
- Financial Viability: The Trustees will examine your audited accounts to determine whether your organisation, and the particular project for which you are bidding, is financially viable. They will take into account the overall financial health of your organisation, your income and expenditure, and any other sources of funding which you are able to access.
- Matched Funding: If you have approached other potential donors the Ulverscroft Foundation may pledge a sum of money to be released only when other funding is secured.
- Scaleability: The Trustees will consider all bids however small. Some small scale pilot projects may be capable of application on a larger scale, or may offer a model that can be adopted by other organisations.
- Accessibility: Organisations are expected to build in accessibility to their services and premises as a matter of equal opportunity. You will need to demonstrate that your organisation has an Equal Opportunities Policy which is regularly monitored and reviewed.
- Safeguarding: The Ulverscroft Foundation has no direct contact with those who benefit from their funding. However, the organisations they help fund work with some of the most vulnerable adults and children. They have a responsibility to ensure that all those who benefit from their support are able to do so in an environment which protects them from bullying, abuse or other forms of harm. You will need to demonstrate that your organisation has implemented a Safeguarding Policy and has procedures in place to implement and monitor the policy.
- Monitoring and Evaluation: If you have received a large grant or pledge (over £10,000) from the Foundation, they will require you to provide periodic updates on progress. You will need to demonstrate that the grant has been spent on the purposes for which it was awarded. Any variation will need to be approved by our Foundation before you proceed.
Trustees meet quarterly to consider applications: in January (deadline 15 December), April (deadline 15 March), July (deadline 15 June) and October (deadline 15 September). Dates of meetings may be subject to change.

A common request from visitors to the Business & IP Centre is for us to recommend cheap local office space.
Thanks to Desk Space Genie, a new website that advertises vacant desk space, we can now help people find space right down to an individual desk.
According to Springwise:
The service helps businesses make a bit of money from their unused office space and enables cash-strapped freelancers or other small businesses to become more established.
Desk Space Genie lets space-seeking 'deskers' search for a space by postal code or town, contacting the advertisers directly. The site lists vacancies in most major cities around the UK, covering 'all inclusive' desk packages with wifi and other utilities, or more basic 'pay for what you use' services.

Lyft has successfully kept their training and vetting out of the public and now they will be forced into sharing how they vet and train their drivers. This type information coming to light is the result of a tragedy that occurred recently in south Florida. A Lyft driver, who at the time was transporting two passengers, allegedly failed to yield the right of way at a four-way stop sign and turned left striking a 29-year-old year old male who is married and who's wife is expecting a baby very soon. The male was driving his motorcycle and the impact threw him from it and he died soon after from his injuries. The deceased's wife filed a wrongful death lawsuit at the end of October in Miami-Dade Circuit Court.
The attorneys for the Plaintiff argue the San Francisco-based company has an unsafe business model that promotes people taking up driving as a side job. They assert the drivers are not chauffers and they work way too many hours if you count up all the jobs they have. It's not safe the way they do it. The lawsuit accuses Lyft of hiring untrained drivers who are constantly distracted and fatigued on the road. As I've blogged about in the past and it is a source of contention in many counties here in Florida, Lyft and Uber vehicles and drivers don't have the permits that taxi and limousine companies do which is a safety issue.
San Francisco-based Lyft allows passengers to use a smartphone app to hail rides from drivers in their personal cars. Ride-hailing companies like Lyft and Uber Technologies Inc. have come under fire for insufficient safety checks on their drivers, who are considered independent contractors.
The ride-hailing companies, which were excluded from the program since their drivers are classified as independent contractors, had been conducting manual reviews of driving records on a quarterly basis.
The lawsuit goes on to claim that Lyft was negligent in its training and background checks for the Lyft driver at-fault.
The Plaintiff's lawyers expects Lyft to raise the argument that its drivers are independent contractors, not employees. Both Lyft and Uber are involved in litigation over the employment status of their drivers.
Florida law considers the amount of control a company could exert over a worker to be the most important test of employment, and the instructions drivers receive from the Lyft app are enough to pass that test.

I was surprised. late last year, when I discovered venerable publisher Scholastic selling video games during their annual book fair at my son's elementary school. Apparently, I wasn't the only one.
The U.S. publisher of Harry Potter books is under attack by a children's advocacy group for marketing toys, lip gloss and video games to children through their in-school book clubs.
Scholastic earned nearly $337 million last year from their book clubs, which the company estimates three-quarters of all U.S. elementary school teachers and 2.2 million children participate in each year.
Campaign for a Commercial-Free Childhood launched a protest Monday accusing Scholastic of exploiting its access to school by marketing non-books to kids. The group says that a third of the items Scholastic sells are either not-books or book packs that include non-books.
"The opportunity to sell directly to children in schools is a privilege, not a right," said CCFC's director, Dr. Susan Linn. "Schools grant Scholastic unique commercial access to children because of its reputation as an educational publisher. But Scholastic is abusing that privilege by flooding classrooms across the country with ads for toys, trinkets, and electronic media with little or no educational value."
"It's bad enough that so many of the books sold in Scholastic book clubs are de-facto promotions for media properties like High School Musical and SpongeBob SquarePants," said Dr. Linn. "But there's no justification for marketing an M&M videogame or lip gloss in elementary schools. Teachers should not be enlisted as sales agents for commercialized merchandise that actually compete with books for children's attention and their families' limited resources."
This isn't the first time that the Campaign for Commercial-Free Childhood has taken on video game sales or advertising. The group was also behind the push to remove ads for GTA from buses and other forms of transportation, a drive to get the Wii version of Manhunt an adults only rating and once called LEGO Batman oppressive and destructive to children.
As usual, the Campaign folks are being alarmists. Only 14 percent of the items sold by Scholastic are not books and that includes things like pencils, erasers and notebooks. The other 19 percent were books bundled with other items, some meaningful, some not so much. However I do think that Scholastic needs to refocus both their book and non-book selections with an eye toward getting kids to read.

A review Carrillo Pérez, Celia Cavia Camarero, María del Mar Alonso de la Torre, Sara Apoptosis Oleic acid Proliferation Intracellular signaling Ácido oleico Proliferación celular Señalización celular Introduction: The beneficial effects of oleic acid in cancer processes can no longer be doubted, but little is known about the mechanisms of action behind this phenomenon. Aim: The aim of the present review is to clarify whether oleic acid has an effect on important mechanisms related to the carcinogenic processes. Aim: The aim of the present review is to clarify whether oleic acid has an effect on important mechanisms related to the carcinogenic processes. Methods:We searched electronic databases and biblio - graphies of selected articles were inspected for further reference. We focused our research on two cellular transformations characterizing cancer development: proliferation and cell death or apoptosis. Results: Numerous studies have reported an inhibition in cell proliferation induced by oleic acid in different tumor cell lines. Herein, oleic acid could suppress the over-expression of HER2 (erbB-2), a well-characterized oncogene which plays a key role in the etiology, invasive progression and metastasis in several human cancers. In addition, oleic acid could play a role in intracellular calcium signaling pathways linked to the proliferation event. Regarding cell death, oleic acid has been shown to induce apoptosis in carcinoma cells. The mechanisms behind the apoptotic event induced by oleic acid could be related to an increase in intracellular ROS production or caspase 3 activity. Several unsaturated fatty acids have been reported to induce apoptosis through a release of calcium from intracellular stores. However, evidence regarding such a role in oleic acid is lacking. Conclusions:Oleic acid plays a role in the activation of different intracellular pathways involved in carcinoma cell development. Such a role could be the root of its antitumoral effects reported in clinical studies. 2014-05-22T11:12:27Z 2014-05-22T11:12:27Z 2012 Artículo info:eu-repo/semantics/article 0212-1611 http://hdl.handle.net/10259.4/2522 10.3305/nh.2012.27.6.6010 eng Nutrición Hospitalaria, 2012, v.27, n.6 (Noviembre-Diciembre), p. 1860-1865 http://dx.doi.org/10.3305%2Fnh.2012.27.6.6010 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/ info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess Grupo Aula Médica

Roasted samples of green coffee last night at home in my garage. Our sample roaster is basically a solid steel drum on a spit, turned by hand, over propane flame. A few magnetic thermometers are stuck on the side for reference, next to a small door to spoon samples out. On the far side of the drum a larger hinged door, with a latch key, is for dropping beans in, and pulling finished roasts. Next to the roaster sits a leather glove.
Our sample roaster was made for us by Sherman Dodd, who started Coffee/PER, manufacturer of the SanFranciscan roaster. Five years ago, I contracted Sherman after exhausting a short list of referenced local welders. I spent months on a few different designs, finally deciding upon one, and faxing it over to Sherman, who agreed to make it for me. He made a few upgrades to my design and the result was awesome.
For the first year of roasting in my garage, the majority of my time was spent with this roaster. Now we roast in my garage only to do small samples, sent to us by green coffee sellers. The table next to the roaster is full of tools and forgotten bike parts, while behind is my collection of bikes.
Anyway, last night five samples of coffee from El Salvador were roasted, that were cupped out today. Since much of the flavors were hidden today by the freshness of the roast we will also be cupping these out tomorrow, and maybe after that.

Making Room for Hope and Compassion
Posted by
Editor's Note: The opinions expressed in this blog post are solely those of the author.
Spoiler Alert: This post discusses events in Call the Midwife Season 8 Episode 1.
I am taking a break from packing for a trip to write this. It will be a two-week jaunt south to take a break from the unrelenting winter weather of Michigan. Fortunately PBS provides early access to this season's episodes. Blog contributors can view the episodes at our convenience and submit blog entries early, to be posted as the North American airings proceed. I take secret pleasure in having first look. But I am accustomed to carrying secrets, as all midwives are. All the sad hurtful stories of poverty, abuse, ignorance, hate, and neglect provide midwives with a perspective which cannot allow harsh judgments for decisions made within circumstances unfathomable. You will get no spoilers from me. Some secrets one must keep but some must be told.
As I pack for my trip, I consider carefully what I will take with me. Despite careful consideration, I know I will pack things I will not need. More than once I have bemoaned my needlessly heavy luggage. The two new midwives who travel to Nannatous house, in this first episode of the season, may have packed attitudes and expectations that could weigh them down as well.
This episode speaks to the secrets and silence communities keep which result in dangerous solutions to problems that then cause more problems. The problem of abortion is volatile. The series has dealt with the consequences of illegal induced abortion previously in Season 5, episode 3. My blog post on that episode examines my perspective on this issue.
Since April of 2016, the political climate has continued to become even more explosive around abortion as an issue of women's reproductive rights. There is increasing probability that legal induced abortion in the United States will continue to become less accessible. Whether you think this is good or bad may depend on where you stand in the pro-life vs. pro-choice debate. If those in the pro-life camp ignore statistics that indicate increasing access actually decreases rates of abortion, then I wonder at their motivation and morality.
One good thing, that I can see, is that today many are speaking out and secrets are being revealed. I am hoping that somewhere, somehow both pro life and pro choice camps will gaze outward, not inward, and ears, hearts and minds will open. With those open minds, new ideas will be unpacked.
One idea is that we are not curing the problem of abortion by criminalizing it. We treat it like the problem or disease itself rather than a symptom of a more serious problem. That serious problem being: unwanted pregnancy. Only when we treat the cause of unwanted pregnancy will we eliminate the targeted market for induced abortion. As the sister of the aspiring model who became the mutilated customer of a back alley abortionist declares, "There will always be customers", and I add, "as long as there are unwanted pregnancies."
Eliminating unwanted pregnancies would require an integrated cultural, religious, and political effort to offer women more choices, not less. It will entail more educational and economic choices, more contraceptive choice and more access to those choices. As with other plagues of human kind, a convergence of science, technology and social transformation need occur. Do we forge ahead as modern beings or delve back into the dark ages? Do we provide health care and support systems or force the desperate into the exploitive hands of back alley practitioners? We all need to unpack the old ideas and attitudes weighing us down. When we open our luggage to unpack the useless stuff, there is room for hope and compassion.

Canoers off South Kitsap saved by rescue boats
Two men navigating Puget Sound found themselves adrift in the cold water after their canoe capsized Wednesday evening.
South Kitsap Fire and Rescue received the call around 6 p.m. that two men had fallen out of their canoe between Manchester and Blake Island and were drifting north.
Bainbridge Island police crews arrived first on the scene and found the men hypothermic and lethargic, but were able to pull the men aboard.
The men were wearing life jackets.
SK fire crews arrived shortly after in the Port Orchard Police Department boat, followed by officers from the Kitsap County Sheriff's Office.
Once ashore, the men were wrapped in warm blankets and given intravenous fluids to warm up before they were taken by ambulance to Harrison Medical Center in Bremerton at around 7 p.m.
Guy Dalryrmple, SK fire battalion chief, said that waters in Puget Sound are extremely cold and that survival time in the water is not long. He said the two in the canoe were saved by their life jackets, but they did not dress properly for the cold temperatures.

It is pretty common knowledge by now that I have written a book called Tales From The Dry Side: The Personal Stories Behind The Autoimmune Illness Sjögren's Syndrome. It is a compilation of thirteen personal stories told by people with Sjögren's syndrome. I am attempting to self publish the book through a company called Outskirts Press and I am doing a funding campaign through Kickstarter.com in order to get the book published.
Kickstarter works as a rewards system funding platform which means that financial contributors can elect to receive a reward from the author based on their donation level. Rewards start at $25 but the minimum donation is only $1.00. In order to donate you must sign up on Kickstarter and have an Amazon account because Amazon handles the money exchange at the end of the project which in this case is August 3rd at 5:30pm. If you do not have an Amazon account, it is very easy to sign up for one. I have been told by contributors that the entire process takes anywhere from 2-10 minutes depending on whether or not you have an Amazon account. Your credit card (via Amazon) does not get charged unless I raise the entire $7000 by August 3rd. if I do not raise the entire amount, you get charged nothing. You can read more about the book and the Kickstarter campaign on my Kickstarter page by clicking HERE.
To date, 43% of the funds needed have been raised. There are twenty more days to raise the money.
A lot of people have put a lot of hard work into these stories and into trying to get this book published. If you think you might be interested in donating but are not quite sure, the following is an excerpt from chapter 13 of the book entitled "Christine":
"Optimism is the faith that leads to achievement. Nothing can be done without hope and confidence." ~ Helen Keller
I clearly remember the day it all started. It was the week between Christmas and New Year's 2008. I tried to get out of bed and all I felt was terrible pain in my ankles and wrists. It was like someone was chiseling through my joints. I had never experienced anything like this pain before and it didn't make sense because the previous day, I had been fine. I got out of my bed and found it difficult to even move my legs. This was only the beginning of my journey. The journey that changed my life forever.
I tell my doctors that this is when my Sjӧgren's symptoms started but looking back, I am not so sure that is accurate. I had been plagued for almost a year before this with left hip pain that was finally diagnosed as sacroiliac (SI) joint dysfunction and was permanently relieved by a steroid injection into the SI joint. My ophthalmologist had noticed two years prior that my eyes were starting to become dry and had suggested using eye drops. I blew off this suggestion. What was a little eye dryness anyways? I didn't even notice it. Oh, what I used to take for granted.
I was thirty-six years old at the time the joint pain started, was married with no children. I owned a home, and worked as a pediatric nurse at a children's hospital in Connecticut. Up until this point I had a complicated medical history as I was diagnosed and successfully treated for Hodgkin's lymphoma at twenty-four years old, had undergone a cardiac ablation for a heart arrhythmia at thirty-one, and was also diagnosed with a blood clotting disorder called Factor V Leiden. I also had hypothyroidism. I truly believed that this sudden onset of joint pain was just another issue to be dealt with and resolved.
I sought out medical help right away for the joint pain as I was finding it difficult to walk and use my hands. My primary care doctor at the time worked me up for every possible thing she could think of including celiac disease, Lyme disease, other autoimmune diseases, the list went on and on. Tests and labs came back negative. My pain got worse and on top of it, I started to become more and more tired. Not your typical I didn't sleep enough tired but rather that body numbing fatigue that makes every activity and movement difficult. I was sent to see other specialists including an endocrinologist and a rheumatologist but nothing could be found. This went on for months and months. Doctor after doctor visit, I would leave in tears and feeling frustrated.
I had a great amount of confidence in the doctor, a physiologist, who had diagnosed and treated my SI joint dysfunction and I sought his help. He decided to do a five day course of steroids (prednisone) and all of a sudden, I was a new person. At this point, as a nurse, I was convinced that I had an autoimmune disorder but I was assured over and over again by several rheumatologists, three of them in all, that I did not, despite my positive response to the steroids.
As time passed, my list of puzzling symptoms increased significantly. Respiratory difficulties landed me in the emergency room or admitted to the hospital. I experienced severe joint pain, numbness and tingling in my legs and hands, voice hoarseness, rashes, chills, severe fatigue, abdominal pain, and ulcers in my nose. Yet no one could tell me what was wrong with me because for the most part, my labs and tests were normal. I also had a relatively recent history of depression and anxiety, now thought to possibly be Sjӧgren's related, and it was suggested that the root of my problems was psychiatric and not physical. It still saddens me to this day that no one thought it might be the other way around.

The Kawaijuku cram school chain plans to create a joint junior high and high school that emphasizes English-language education with the aim of sending students to top foreign universities, Kawaijuku officials said Thursday.
Kawaijuku Educational Institution will operate the new school jointly with Tokyo Gakuen High School. Kawaijuku entered a business tie-up last September to financially support the struggling private school.
The new school will start admitting students in April 2017, setting the number in each grade at around 80.
Teachers will be recruited from foreign schools, Kawaijuku officials said. English will be taught intensively in the first and second years of the six-year school to help students get into leading foreign universities, they said.
The students will also qualify to take entrance exams for Japanese universities, the officials said.
Tokyo Gakuen High School was established in 1889 as Japan's first private high school for business education. Under the accord with Kawaijuku, it will be reorganized into the combined junior high and high school.
Tokyo Gakuen High School formed the partnership with Kawaijuku after suffering financial woes due to the general decline in the student population and a disappointing record in sending graduates to universities.

You probably noticed I made posts on online safety in the past, I decided to make one for Pirates only! Online Safety is very important and of course, it keeps everyone safe online. For example, if you give a stranger your ship (the best ship in the skyways), do you think they will return it? Its important you know that if you give away something it will not be returned to you! Passwords are very important also, just like a Pirate ship, you need it for Pirate101! Don't give away your password to anyone, or you won't see your Pirate again. Kingsisle warns everyone about this, and you should take their advice! Want more online safety tips? Keep reading, I have plenty :) Please share this post with all of your friends!
- Personal Information- NEVER give away your personal information to anyone on the game. This includes credit card numbers, where you live (address, city, state), your passwords, cell phone numbers, if its personal it needs to remain personal!
- Is it too good to be true? One day you might be sailing and see someone offering free crowns or a membership for your account in return.. so they could put it on your account. They are only trying to get your account! Don't give away your account information for someone trying to take your Pirate away from you. If you're in need for items on Pirate101 like crowns, bundles or gear, make sure to watch the official fansites with great contests every month! You can also check out other great bloggers sites, make sure they aren't asking for account information though. If you have a true friend that's offering you a gift card code, then that's also a good way to receive crowns or a membership!
- Fake Sites and Scams- If you haven't notice, I do have contests and give away membership card codes that I get from the store to giveaway. I'm a site owner that really does giveaway prizes! Now there's other kind of sites too... Ones that ask for your password and user name, this is a one way ticket to a storm, a storm where you won't ever get your Pirate back again. One other thing you may see on Social Networks like Facebook are scams where you can get free codes and all from a generator, this is FAKE. Never trust this, like I said before, if you want to sign up for a contest, try the official Fansites! Never try to get codes from generators or fake sites that want your account info.
Okay, I'm done writing! I hope all of you got through all of this, its very important that you do read it though, I'm sure it will help you or a friend in the future! Click on the image below for more online safety tips!

As per usual, my reactive WordPress management techniques has forced me to update WWR with a new theme and some new tricks. Essentially, the old theme was too slow and it was crashing the server, a byproduct of having 10,000+ posts on this monstrosity of a site. So now there's a new version up and it should a lot smoother on mobile.
Thanks for reading and please bear with us.

Executive Summary: Employers who seek to protect their confidential business information and their reputations by requiring employees to sign employment agreements containing confidentiality and non-disparagement clauses may now face opposition from the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB). In Quicken Loans (January 8, 2013), an ALJ in the NLRB's Phoenix region held that such clauses violate section 8(a)(1) of the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA) because they tend to chill employees' exercise of their Section 7 rights.
In analyzing this issue, the ALJ conceded that the "line between lawful and unlawful restrictions is very thin and often difficult to discern." He concluded, however, that Quicken Loans' proprietary/confidential information and non-disparagement clauses fell on the wrong side of that line. With regard to the proprietary/confidential information provision, the ALJ noted that the clause's prohibition on disclosure of "non-public information relating to . . . the Company's business, personnel . . . all personnel lists, personal information of co-workers . . . personnel information such as home phone numbers, cell phone numbers, addresses and email addresses" would hinder employees' exercise of their Section 7 rights. In complying with the proprietary/confidential information provision, employees would be unable to "discuss with others, including their fellow employees or union representatives, the wages and other benefits that they receive, the names, wages, benefits addresses or telephone numbers of other employees." The ALJ further held that the non-disparagement provision would chill Section 7 rights as there "can be no doubt that an employee reading these restrictions could reasonably construe them as restricting his rights to engage in protected concerted activities" such as criticizing his employer or appealing to the public or fellow employees for support.
Although a company official testified that, in his recollection, no employee had ever been disciplined for violating the proprietary/confidential information or non-disparagement provisions, the ALJ concluded that their mere existence violated the Act. The company likely will appeal the ALJ's decision, but in the meantime, employers nationwide may experience new concerns about their own confidentiality and non-disparagement provisions and may wish to review these provisions with experienced employment law counsel.
If you have any questions regarding this Alert or other labor or employment law issues, please contact the author, Jaclyn West, firstname.lastname@example.com, who is an attorney in our Washington, DC office, or the FordHarrison attorney with whom you usually work.

Stress has always been a large, motivating factor in my life. In my current quest to eat and live a lifestyle that caters to my new found IBS condition – I have done a lot of research. I've watched documentaries, read blogs, articles, books, journals and consulted people for their personal testimonies in dealing with IBS.
What I've found is a somewhat alarmingly judgmental space in food culture. Labels are abound and the moment you lean towards any specific one, you are instantly branded. You become the automatic target of pre-conceived notions, whether they be bad or good.
"Oh, you're not eating meat. Right. So how long do you think you will last?"
"Go vegan! It's better for your and for the planet! Don't eat animal carcasses!"
"Why would you ever eat that?"
"I need meat. I need protein. I don't think I could do that."
Hold up.
You're kidding me, right? In a world where we can't seem to escape the confines of social strata, labels of normalization, finger-pointing, and an internet world that subliminally tells us how to live our lives at every turn – now I have to worry about the politics and ethics of what I eat?
Yes and no.
I think there is a fine line between being conscious and realizing that the pleasures of life are fleeting.
Do I worry about how humane, environmentally friendly, and healthy I am eating? All the freaking time. More than most, I would gather. Does it stress me out some days? Oh yeah. Should I let it stress me out? Probably not.
Do I feel better when I don't eat certain things? Yes. It also makes me feel accomplished in some way that I manage to have the discipline and forethought not to eat 6 tubs of Ben and Jerry's and a giant plate of Carolina barbecue with hush puppies and collards in one sitting.
Do I happen to be the most avid animal lover and feel conflicted at times? Yes.
My point is – life is too short to be guilt-tripped into not enjoying something. Life is ALSO too short to feel shitty every time I eat.
So here is a fantastic Sweet Potato and Black Bean Enchiladas with Weekday Mole Sauce recipe for you. Not because I think you're a heathen for eating meat – but because it's bleeding delicious and – bonus, it didn't make my stomach contract in fury.
Sweet Potato and Black Bean Enchiladas with Weekday Mole Sauce
The Enchiladas
- 2 medium sweet potatoes
- 1 large bell pepper (color of your choice)
- 1 can of black beans
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 1 can of diced tomatoes
- Juice of half a lime
- 1/4 tsp of salt
- 2 cloves of garlic minced
- 1/2 tsp of garlic powder
- 1 heaping tsp of cumin
- 1 tsp of chili powder
- 1 1/2 tsp of paprika
- 8-10 medium soft tortillas
- Cilantro for garnish
- Pre-heat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Peel your sweet potatoes and cut them into small chunks. Place on a roasting tray, toss with olive oil and sprinkle with 1/2 tsp of paprika, salt, 1/2 tsp of garlic powder. Roast for 20 minutes or until soft.
- While the potatoes roast – pour 2 tablespoons of olive oil into a large skillet or dutch oven. When oil is hot, pour in your diced onions and minced garlic and salt. Let the onions and garlic sweat for one minute. Then add the rest of your spices and let them heat up in the oil. Then add your bell peppers and sautee for another minute. Then add your diced tomatoes and black beans. Bring mixture to a bubble, then cover and lower heat to low and let simmer for 15 minutes.
- *while you wait for the vegetables to cook – make your mole sauce.
- Once your sweet potatoes and vegetables are cooked, take the sweet potatoes out of the oven and add them to the vegetable mix and combine. Add the lime juice and the very end.
- Spoon 1/4 cup of filling into each tortilla and fold the tortilla over to close. Place the filled tortillas seam down onto a greased casserole dish. Depending on your casserole dish, you can get 8-10 enchiladas.
- Once the dish is filled with enchiladas, spoon over your Weekday Mole sauce. Lower the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit and bake for 20 minutes.
- Once out of the oven – garnish with chopped cilantro.
Weekday Mole Sauce
This is a 'weekday' sauce because this is a somewhat bastardized version of mole. Traditionalists, I apologize in advance but I just don't have hours set aside to start a mole sauce! This is quick and mimics the complex, heady aromas of a traditional mole.
- 2 tablespoons of olive oil
- 3 cloves of garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon of peanut butter (creamy)
- 1 tablespoon of chili powder
- 1 heaping tsp of cumin
- 1/2 tsp of cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp of black pepper
- 1/4 tsp of cayenne powder (depending on how hot you want it)
- 1 can of tomato sauce (unflavored)
- Juice of half of a lime
- 1/4 cup of dark chocolate chips (or semi sweet – whichever you have on hand)
- 1/2 cup of chicken or vegetable stock
- Heat a medium skillet at medium heat. Pour olive oil and sautee minced garlic and spices and salt until toasted and aromatic (about 1 minute).
- Add the can of tomato sauce and stir into the spice mixture until combined well. Add chocolate chips, peanut butter, and 1/2 cup of stock.
- Bring sauce to a bubble and then reduce heat to low and let it simmer for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally to ensure a smooth sauce. Stir in lime juice at the end.
*I will caution you – try and buy good chili powder. If your chili powder has been sitting a while, grab some new stuff while you're at the store. You will definitely taste the difference.
Seriously though. If you're tired of the old standby – TRY THESE. The sauce is earthy and savory and the filling is sumptuous. Serve with some chunky guacamole, spicy salsa and rice. Your weeknight just got a little more exciting. Go on. Your Netflix binge demands a proper meal.
Sidenote: If you desperately must have meat – I will say that the flavors of the sauce and the filling are perfect for pairing with some roasted pork. The dark and spicy scent of the mole sauce and the slightly sweet, roasted flavors of the enchilada filling is practically begging for pork.
And –
Whatever your diet and preference is – you can expect one thing on my blog – food nirvana. I love you and I love food. So go on about your day and radiate some positive food vibes. Food, after all, is one of the purest physical manifestations of affection. There's no room for anything else.

Obsession - 10ml
For when a particular thought just keeps going round and round and will not go away. The mouse on the treadmill type of feeling, with each thought following relentlessly on the heels of another. The thought itself seems to provide the momentum.
{slide=Indian Balsam|green|closed}
Indian Balsam Impatiens glandulifera
Indian Balsam is included to help reduce the mental energy levels that are driving the thoughts round and round. It helps to quiet the mind and so reduce the tendency for the thoughts to keep on running in the same obsessive pattern.
Ragwort Senecio jacobaea
Ragwort is the key essence in breaking the loops of thought. Its main characteristic is to sever the endless looping back of thought. It helps us to break the loop, enabling us to see the futility of such thought, whilst empowering us so that we can now break the self-sustaining problem.
{slide=White Dead Nettle|green}
White Dead Nettle Lamium album
White Dead Nettle is included for removing the addictive effects of obsessive thought patterns. This is something that is frequently overlooked when trying to help those with obsessive thought tendencies. Being obsessive and being addicted are very close together. Being addicted to something means that the body-mind system has become dependent on that particular stimulation. Take the continued stimulation away and there will be withdrawal symptoms, maybe very powerful, even serious. Many drugs are known for their powerful addictive effects. White Dead Nettle helps to break the addictive aspects of thought patterns.

Pro Hair Live 2018
February 28, 2018 10:26 am
Once again, I took JL Aesthetics and the Joseph Lanzante brand to Professional Hair Live at Manchester Central last weekend! This show is the perfect opportunity for industry professionals and upcoming hairdressers and barbers to get together to showcase the incredible talent within our industry.
I was fortunate enough to be asked to speak on the Men's Stage on both days, allowing me to pass on my industry knowledge to a vast audience. One of my experienced barbers, Alistair took to the stage to demonstrate a fade hairstyle, whilst I took the chance to discuss and demonstrate the art of micro-pigmentation.
Our time on the stage generated such a huge amount of support that we invited the audience onto the stage to see the procedure and hair styling up close and personal. I spent my time taking questions from the professionals and answering any queries they had on this new trade.
Micro-pigmentation is a new confidence-boosting treatment that I also provide training in. I am able to impart my industry knowledge of this procedure, including the marketing and business aspects. At Pro Hair Live I wanted to emphasise just how much of a game changer this can be for both customers, and salon owners looking to expand their expertise.
Doing shows like these gives me the chance to promote my own business, whilst also being able to help others advance theirs. Micro-pigmentation is a new service that eventually every salon will be doing, as I told my audience, 'in five years' time, there will be at least one person in every town doing micro-pigmentation, so, get ahead whilst you can.'
Pro Hair Live makes me realise just how brilliant it is to work within the hair and beauty industry. Shows like these provide a platform to pass on my knowledge to upcoming professionals, making it all worthwhile. I look forward to the next event!

Dagenham and Rainham MP Jon Cruddas: I'll fight plans to axe Havering's specialist Fire Rescue Unit
PUBLISHED: 17:35 15 July 2013 | UPDATED: 17:35 15 July 2013
PA Archive/Press Association Images
Dagenham and Rainham MP Jon Cruddas has vowed to fight the threat to Havering's only fire rescue unit (FRU).
The specialist fire engine, which attends road crashes and equips crews to rescue people in hazardous environments, is one of two across the capital that faces the chop under new proposals from the London Fire Brigade.
"This is a real worry and has real consequences across the whole area," Mr Cruddas told the Recorder.
"I am talking to the Fire Brigades Union about this and can ensure constituents that we will be fighting these cutbacks every step of the way.
"Without this FRU in Havering, the nearest will be in East Ham.
"We are making direct representations to the Mayor of London to halt this cut."

The suspects were arrested during the raid near a house close to Atocha train station where all of the suspects were residing.
According to officials at the Interior Ministry, the detainees were planning a 'suicide attack'. During the raid in the apartment, the police officers discovered and seized a large number of Islamic State training materials.

"One of our deepest needs is for a sense of identity and belonging and a common denominator in this is human attachment to landscape and how we find identity in landscape and place. Landscape therefore is not simply what we see, but a way of seeing: we see it with our eye but interpret it with our mind and ascribe values to landscape for intangible – spiritual – reasons. Landscape can therefore be seen as a cultural construct in which our sense of place and memories inhere. Critical to this has been the increasing attention given to the study of cultural landscapes, even to the extent of recognition in 1992 of World Heritage Categories of outstanding cultural landscapes." - Ken Taylor, Landscape & Memory
The pace of change has never been this fast in the history of mankind. As we traverse the changing landscapes of places, socio-cultural practices, technology and ways of life, the tension between history and future gets foregrounded. Heritage studies address the core of this tension with cultural and natural heritage resources being identified as well-springs for both traditional and contemporary creative practices rooted in place. The discourse on change and continuity in relation to practices, knowledge and way of life is moving beyond the actions of conservation, protection and restoration.
The program intent is to address critical concerns around the interpretation and implications of global theories and concepts in response to micro contexts and local communities.
- How do we identify and assess, cultural and natural heritage of a place, and develop models of ownership or custodianship for these assets?
- How can we improve cultural practices in order to support local communities to manage their inheritance?
- How can we facilitate an exchange between different traditional and contemporary knowledge systems, to the advantage of sustaining historic and ecological assets?
- How do we emphasise on utilitarian value of heritage and community participation, without compromising their inherited values?
A UNESCO Chair Signature Program
This program is one of the two postgraduate programs established under the UNESCO Chair in Culture, Habitat, and Sustainable Development under the School of Law, Environment and Planning at Srishti.
The program is oriented towards deriving knowledge and principles of design from cultural and natural heritage places. It explores new ways that contemporary creative practices (including but not limited to architecture and urban design) can be informed and enriched by history, culture, ecology, tradition, community, and craft.
The Chair has identified focus regions –
- Bengaluru metropolitan (Bangalore City)
- Deccani region (region that includes the historic towns of Bidar, Gulbarga, Badami, and Bijapur that are on India's Tentative list for UNESCO World Heritage)
- The Western Ghats (this includes natural heritage already inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List as well as the settlements in and around it)
The contexts provide a rich tapestry of both tangible and intangible cultural and natural heritage that the students engage with to co-create knowledge through collaboration with local communities and nurturing the values of the existing cultural landscapes. This process is driven towards exploring new tools of designing, managing and planning for preserving heritage sites and the surrounding milieu to the benefit of local communities. Many of these settlements have rich heritage assets that have yet to be identified, mapped and documented. A key aspect of engaging in locative studio based learning is to reinterpret intangible cultural practices through new and varied lenses to create awareness and document and disseminate intangible heritage. Individual inquiries will be fostered in a transdisciplinary learning environment to imagine new relationships between people, practices and places over changing times.

Learning Approach
Different units and courses will be conducted through either one or more of the following approaches:
- Project-based: To actively explore real world challenges, conflicts and problems within timelines with context-sensitivity.
- Position-based: To foster a deep understanding of theories and practices, and arrive at individual inquiries and stand-points.
- Place-based: To take the learning from immersive field trips and expeditions; and extend, deepen and transform them into site-specific interventions.
- Participation-based: To understand the diversity of actors, who passively or actively inhabit the space of inquiry, and incorporate their insights through sensitive and equitable tools.
- Process-based: To engage with art and design research methodologies; and push the boundaries of discourses in urban design, conservation and sustainability.
The course fosters collaborations at multiple scales. The UNESCO chair, Design+Environment+Law Laboratory (DEL Laboratory) and LeNS LAB – Learning Network for Sustainability at Srishti are the centres that reinforce the course through research and projects. An extended network of partners from local communities, non-governmental organisations, government institutions, universities and industry supports the place based learning
On successful completion of the course, graduates will have acquired the following capabilities.
Knowledge and Understanding:
- To understand, interpret and critique a wide-range of framework and approaches around protection and management of cultural and/or natural assets.
- To conceptualise notions of contemporary creative practices, cultural landscapes and heritage compatible development to better the social environments and benefit local communities.
Communication Skills:
- To build inventories, assess threats or potential, and write proposals, using a wide range of information and insights about historic sites, local communities and regional practices.
- To document, map, survey, research, record, analyse, visualise, theorise and disseminate a wide range of information and insights.
Practitioner Skills:
- To design and manage initiatives for heritage protection, in varying capacities across different contexts and scales, while nurturing creativity and participation.
Overview of inquiry based curriculum and possible tracks for defining individual positions and practices.
This course provides an opportunity for students to either pursue higher studies, define their own collaborative practice as well as find a position in variety of workplaces i.e. cultural organisations, government bodies, not-for-profit initiatives, art and design practices, research institutions and others.
Opportunities can be identified across different creative economies and some of them would be: Advocacy, Arts, Conservation, Knowledge Centers, Media and Tourism.

On April 29, renowned climate scientist, Heartland Institute policy advisor, and external reviewer of the IPCC Madhav Khandekar appeared on "The Infectious Myth" show on the Progressive Radio Network. "The infectious Myth" focuses on addressing medical and scientific issues for which "the simple story we are told" is in fact untrue. Dr. Khandekar seeks to do just that for the issue of man-made climate change.
Dr. Khandekar discussed the findings of his decades-long research program into the effects of CO2 emissions on global climate and temperature. According to that research, the sun, not humans, is the primary driver of climate change:
"I think there was no change in the concentration of atmospheric CO2 during the Little Ice Age. So quite possibly, and quite definitely as most solar scientists feel, it has something to do with the low sun [activity] at the time, what is known as the Maunder Minimum."
According to Dr. Khandekar, the world may in fact be moving in the coming decades toward another Little Ice Age thanks to an approaching decline in solar activity.
Dr. Khandekar acknowledges some amount of increased temperatures, but this he says is very limited and has largely been beneficial to humans:
"The small warming we have experienced is beneficial to world humanity. It has helped increase grain yields, especially in the developing world of South Asia and South America, as well as Africa."
The evidence surrounding climate change and global warming remains hotly debated in scientific circles, despite the efforts of some to quash the discussion as violating a "consensus." But scientists like Dr. Khandekar continue to fight for attention for their alternative views. The fact he was invited to speak on the Progressive News Network might well suggest that their calls for attention are starting to be heeded.

I've been aware of the partner options for on premises Skype for Business call recording. I've been searching for a solution for online, assuming there will be an API to develop and a third party will create a server side (Cloud side?) solution. When I came across BOC and saw that it works at the client side I was very excited!
I downloaded from BOC Call Recorder for Skype for Business from https://gallery.technet.microsoft.com/office/BOC-Call-Recorder-for-497c4535
I installed on my Windows 10 Enterprise machine. I'm running Skype for Business 2016 with an on premises Skype for Business 2016 server.
Single click and install is completed in less than 30 seconds.
Begins with a check for update.
Default settings were from Windows, not SfB, so I adjusted my Microphone and Speakers to my Jabra Link 360.
I also enabled the Create Text From Call Speech feature.
I had to get an API Key to enable the speech to text, which was a matter of clicking Get Key, signing in with my Microsoft account, and requesting keys. I then pasted the key to the API Key field.
Per the BOC download site, "currently Microsoft offers approximately 10,000 minutes of speech to text dictation free per month, with pricing plans if you need to go beyond that amount." I find that amazing. On the Microsoft Project Oxford Site it appears to meter by call, and allow 5000 calls per month.
I opened the BOC Call Recorder app from start and checked for updates.
I left the app open and clicked record when I received a call.
I finished the call and stopped the recording.
When I first checked there was a series of files in my destination folder. After a minute or so I was left with one MP3. I was able to open and play it through Grove Music.
I was also able to use the Search Speech to Text and find a matching MP3.
All in all, this is an amazing app for free with a very quick setup. I am excited about using it with Cloud PBX opportunities.

Verizon Invests in Location-Based Mobile Platform
Verizon is showing an active interest in mobile commerce and location-based applications via its investment arm, Verizon Ventures. Wednesday, the group announced that it had participated in Geodelic's recent $7 million Series B round. This follows a similar $400,000 investment in CardStar's mobile loyalty management platform.
Geodelic positions itself as a location-based mobile platform for brands and consumers. The startup has consumer-facing iPhone and Android applications that offer visual, location-based place search powered by its own relevance engine.
The Geodelic mobile application is a slight reinterpretation on ideas already present in the likes of Where and Around Me, so users can browse nearby surroundings and flip through places in a carousel-like fashion, view venues on a map or check out a list view instead. Places are also categorized by type — think movies, bars and nightclubs, banks, coffee shops, etc. — with top navigation icons offering users a browse-by-type experience. The application also incorporates checkins for its own stab at consumer loyalty.
The service's most interesting feature is the newly lauched GeoGuides. Application users can activate GeoGuides to add additional layers of context to their visual place searches. The LAX Airport guide, for instance, will include more detailed information on airport surroundings. The GeoGuides feature is also marketed at brands and advertisers looking to distribute their own place-centric branded guides.
To date, Geodelic has raised roughly $10.5 million in Series A and B rounds. Verizon Ventures's participation was in the latter round. The exact amount of the investment is unknown, but Verizon's heightened interest in the mobile location space is certainly something to watch.
