My 9 week old daughter seems to feed all the time during the day and has done ever since she was born. She will only ever go for about 20 minutes awake without wanting another feed; then we will have a play or nap and then she'll signal for another feed straight away as soon as she wakes (no matter how long the nap or when the last feed was). I have had my latch checked by various people and told it is correct and she is gaining weight and developing well. She is 90th percentile so I realise she needs a lot of food, but is this normal and is there anything I can do to get her out of this constant feeding, because it means I cannot do anything without being on demand for more milk?
At night she usually goes about 3 hours before she wakes hungry, sleeping from about 8am - 8pm, so waking 3 or 4 times each night - which is exhausting for me! I have tried waking her early to feed her before she wakes herself but it does not extend her time between feeds.
Is this normal for a 9 week old? And does anyone have any advice about how I can improve my situation please?

While flipping channels this weekend, I came across a cable television talk show called Charlamagne & Friends, tuning in just as the black host was asking his three black guests about February being Black History Month.
"The shortest month of the year," one of the male guests mumbled dejectedly.
It was the second time in two days I'd heard someone say disparagingly that the time set aside on the calendar to focus on African-American history and culture just happened to be the month with the fewest days.
I've actually had young people in schools ask me, "Why did they give us the shortest month in the year?"

"They who?" I usually ask in return. "Who do you think gave us Black History Month?"
Obviously we have not done a good enough job of teaching black history during this month or any other if most youngsters today don't know how the observance of African-American heritage came about.
So it is appropriate, especially this week, to do a little educating on the subject. You see, this particular week in February is what was the original Negro History Week as proclaimed by noted educator, writer and historian Carter G. Woodson in 1926.
Woodson, who in 1915 founded the Association for the Study of Negro Life and History, did not randomly pick those seven days in the year's shortest month to commemorate the struggles and achievements of black people.
As the son of former slaves, he chose a month that had significance to the struggle for freedom because it was the month in which two great Americans who helped bring an end to slavery were born.
Negro History Week encompassed the birthdays of Abraham Lincoln (Feb. 12) and Frederick Douglass, the former slave, abolitionist and orator (Feb. 14). Actually the exact date of Douglass' birth in February is not known, but he celebrated his birthday on the 14th.
The commemoration was later expanded from a week to include the entire month.
Woodson, the second African-American to earn a Ph.D from Harvard, had another connection to Douglass, the great freedom fighter: He had graduated from Douglass High School in West Virginia and later became its principal before going on to teach at other public schools and Howard University.
He strongly believed that people ought to know their history — all of it: the good and the bad, the joyful and the painful.
"If a race has no history, if it has no worthwhile tradition, it becomes a negligible factor in the thought of the world, and it stands in danger of being exterminated," Woodson said.
That is something I, too, believe, and it is what I tell those who invariably ask this time of year, "Why is there a Black History Month? How would you feel if there were a White History Month?"
To that second question, I usually respond, "There are 12." For the most part, this country's history, as recited in our schools and colleges, has been its "white" history.
Had there been adequate representation of African-Americans in history books, there would have been no need to set aside a week or a month or any other time to call attention to their authentic stories and their long, trying journey in this sometimes inhospitable land.
The truth is there wasn't a needed presence in history books 88 years ago when Woodson gave birth to Negro History Week, and there still isn't today.
So, for the foreseeable future, we will continue to take time during this month to remember the past, to acknowledge those who came before us, to celebrate the lives of those who helped make the future better for all of us. At the same time, we honor our contemporary heroes who continue to carry on the struggle for justice and human rights.
Every person, regardless of race, ethnicity, gender or religion, ought to embrace that idea rather than resent it.

Previous Projects
1. Orthopedics East, Greenville, NC (2007-2008)
Students designed and built a prototype training support system that will enable practitioners to develop a tactile feel for injecting medication into joints.
2. Center for Disease Control, Atlanta, GA (2011)
The Center for Disease Control in Atlanta requires a design of a labor-delivery-recovery room obstetrics bed/table that is manually operated and includes an IV drip pole. The design had to be durable for use in military health facilities. No electronic controls could be included. Design constraints included relocation of the bed by no more than a pick-up truck and an estimated cost of less that $2000.
3. ECU, Greenville, NC (2012-2013)
The multidirectional reach test is commonly used in physical therapy clinics to assess one's balance and potential to fall. The problem currently faces with this test is obvious inaccuracies in the measurements. Students were to provide an alternative low cost design for a reach test prototype to conduct balance testing.
4. ECU, Greenville, NC (2012-2013)
According to the Center for Disease Control as of 2010, cardiovascular disease has become the leading cause of death in the United States. Students were to design, develop a prototype, and test an electrical stimulating instrument that delivers continuous pulsatile electrical field stimulation to cell culture monolayers and 3D constructs in a cell culture incubator.

- What I Love About My Small Home:
- I obviously like plants, so the afternoon light and the huge windows do the trick! I like having a workspace at home too, and a lot of my furniture is on wheels, so it's pretty easy to push everything out of the way and spread out a bit for larger projects. I like that the space is always evolving and doesn't take itself too seriously.
- Biggest Challenge of Living in a Small Space:
- The biggest challenge is always finding or making the right thing for the right place. I made the black ottoman in the living room and it's pretty big. Now it's about finding the right table to balance it all out. It's so hard! I also wanted to separate the bedroom from the rest, so i sewed several curtains into large panels and dip dyed them.
I'm currently trying to find a solution to all the broken blinds on the huge windows. It's always an ongoing process, and I enjoy that!

The town is beginning to prepare for a storm that is expected to bring snow and rain showers tonight through Friday.
"We have been watching the weather closely and have to prepare for high winds, rain and snow," said Town Manager Garry Brumback in an email release.
The National Weather Service has issued Winter Weather Advisories for Fairfield, New Haven and Middlesex Counties, a Winter Storm Warning for New London County and a Winter Storm Watch for Windham County. Coastal Flood Watches and Wind Advisories have also been issued for Fairfield, New Haven and Middlesex Counties.
According to a release from the Department of Emergency Services and Public Protection, There is no impact on the afternoon rush hour and the snow is expected to become steadier by 8 p.m. on the coast and 11 p.m. inland. Northeast winds, gusting up to 50 MPH along the coast and 25 MPH inland are also expected.
Thursday morning will bring periods of wet snow, tapering off to snow and rain showers by mid-morning. Winds can gust up to 40 MPH.
Thursday night will bring a light, mixed precipitation. Wind gusts of up to 40 MPH are expected along the coast.
A second period of moderate wet snow is expected Thursday night into Friday morning. The wet snow is forecasted to end by noon Friday.
"Total accumulations during the next two days are expected to be very elevation dependant with higher amounts above 500 feet and less accumulation on roads in valley locations and along the coast," said Thomas Gavaghan, Region Three coordinator for Department of Emergency Services and Public Protection, in an email update. "In general accumulations are currently forecast to range from 3 – 6" across most of the state away from the coast."
Gavaghan noted that the forecast confidence in the storm is only fair at this time. He noted that a change of a degree or more in temperature could have a significant impact on snowfall amounts.
Brumback said he was splitting up town crews today to cover as many bases as possible.
"We will have staff throughout town making sure the catch basins are open and clear, we also have staff preparing the trucks and equipment," Brumback said. "We are going to have the staff pre-treat the roadways with salt today starting this afternoon, also we are preparing all of our chainsaws and tree cutting equipment."

The Orioles raised some eyebrows when reliever Pedro Strop was seen taking grounders at shortstop and making throwing to first before Wednesday's game.
Strop, who is on the 15-day disabled list with a lower back strain, was signed out of the Dominican Republic as a shortstop and was converted into a pitcher as a minor leaguer in the Colorado Rockies system.
But the Orioles have no plans to return Strop to his original position. The drill, which Strop said was the idea of pitching coach Rick Adair, was performed in order for Strop to repeat his natural throwing motion.
"This is something you don't have to think [about] doing," Strop said. "It's natural from when you were a kid. So that way you get to clear your mind from thinking about all those mechanics, just a natural arm action.
"I've done it before … when I switched from position to pitcher," he added. "Whenever they thought I needed to get back on track, they'd give me some groundballs at shortstop. I think it is a pretty good drill for me."
After that, Strop threw from the mound for the first time since going on the DL on Saturday, throwing about 20 pitches in the bullpen.
Reimold's hamstring progressing
Outfielder Nolan Reimold, who was eligible to come off the disabled list Tuesday, said his strained right hamstring is improving. While the Orioles were on the road, he continued rehabilitation, going to physical therapy at Johns Hopkins Hospital and increasing his running activities.
"I'm not all out sprinting," Reimold said. "But that's a little bit away. I'll work up to that."
Reimold said he doesn't have a timetable for his return.
"It's not going to be forever," he said. "Hopefully it won't be too much longer. I know Buck said he wanted it to be 100 percent. [He said] don't come back until it is all cleared up, so that's what I'm working on. Just waiting for that to happen, which hopefully isn't too much longer."
Around the horn
First baseman Chris Davis received his American League Player of the Month award for April on the field before Wednesday's game. There was also a "Crush Davis" T-shirt giveaway at the game. ... Catcher Taylor Teagarden caught seven innings in an extended spring training game Wednesday and will either serve as the designated hitter there Thursday or join either Double-A Bowie or Triple-A Norfolk for a rehab assignment to catch nine innings. … Infielder-DH Wilson Betemit (Grade 2/3 PCL tear) began hitting off a tee Wednesday. … Left fielder Nate McLouth entered the night tied with Boston Red Sox center fielder Jacoby Ellsbury for the AL lead in stolen bases with 16.

After a 13-year nap, cicadas are waking up in the South, and with them comes an ear-splitting mating call that will soon fill the air across the southern U.S.
The 13-year cicadas of what is known as Brood XIX (the 19th brood) have been living underground since 1998. That was the last time they held their famous two-month, above-ground mating frenzy.
Brood XIX, also known as the Great Southern Brood, is the country's largest group of 13-year cicadas, stretching across 12 states, including Missouri, South Carolina, Oklahoma and Illinois. Already rising in some parts of Georgia, they should all be hatched by mid-May.
The low-pitched mating calls, all produced by the males of the species, are already so loud that some Georgia residents have mistaken them for the howl of a tornado, according to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
That's a lot of noise for an insect that's only an inch-and-a-half long. But despite their daytime racket, they are otherwise harmless, University of Georgia entomology professor Nancy Hinkle told the Athens Banner-Herald. "The only minimal problem is that the females lay eggs near the ends of tree branches, and that causes browning of the leaves and might cause the branch tips to fall off. But even that's just nature's pruning service — so next winter, the whole branch won't come off in an ice storm."
Meanwhile, the cicadas provide two important environmental roles. First, they provide a good supply of food for local predators. Second, after their two-month breeding cycle, the dying cicadas will help support the very trees they feed off of: "When they die, their carcasses essentially decay and provide a nice nutrient injection back into the soil for the trees," Gene Kritsky, editor-in-chief of the journal American Entomologist, told NPR.
While the cicadas have already erupted from the soil in Georgia's Crawford County, it may be a few weeks before they emerge elsewhere. Kritsky says the insects will rise from their slumber in other areas when the local soil reaches 65 degrees.
Although their mating calls may be a loud nuisance — hitting up to 85 decibels in places where the insects are most concentrated — it won't be enough to cause any damage, a fear that some Southerners have expressed. "It won't damage anyone's hearing," Missouri University biology professor Johannes Schul told the Missourian. "If we were exposed to those levels of noise for years at a time, then we might face an effect, but this outbreak is short and will not have any adverse health effects aside from stressing a few people out."
These periodical cicadas emerge in 17- and 13-year cycles and shouldn't be confused with a variety of cicadas that can be heard every summer. There are three broods of 17-year cicadas, one of which will appear in the summer of 2017. Brood XIX will next rise in 2024.
13-year cicadas wake up, prepare to swarm
If you live in the South, prepare yourselves for the return of some noisy neighbors.

Zhang He was born in Shen Yang, China in 1963. He specialized in oil painting at the LuXun Institute of Art after completing studies in Photography and Stage Design. Zhang He moved to Montreal, Canada in 1998 where he currently lives and works.
In his refusal to settle on easy formulae, the artist has induced a process of constant reinvention that has given his art extraordinary power and momentum over the past decade. He's bright paintings have developed from depictions of abstracted plants, flowers and figures to full on visual abstraction. His vigorous abstractions range from austere studies in movement and energy to exuberant explosions of color that express the ever-changing landscape of his emotions. Gestural power and luminous hues reflect the verve and freedom of Chinese calligraphy, while each painting is a journey of self-discovery, continual exploration, and personal transformation.
The artist's energy and ruptured use of colour place him close to European expressionism. He embraces this association, while maintaining a close relationship to the traditions of Chinese oil painting. The concept of Chi is integral to He's work. In traditional Chinese culture, Chi is believed to be part of everything that exists, as in "life force" or "spiritual energy". Chi serves as a metaphor for the fundamental physical properties of the universe.
There is an affinity to Jean-Paul Riopelle, Emile Borduas and the Automatistes of Quebec who were influenced by surrealism and automatism. Their painting and writing were concerned with spontaneous production without preconception. While Riopelle's painting implies a more calculated landscaping of the canvas, Zhang He's strongly illustrates spontaneity of the sub-conscious that was closely affiliated with the Automatiste objective. This spontaneity, along with He's lyrical brushstrokes, skillful mixing of colour and sculptural impasto, result in a delicious palette. With paint like hot lava, the artwork of Zhang He surges onto the canvas. His bold strokes of colour and luminous hues are gorgeous and seductive, evoking energy and passion, sensuality and angst, adding emotion to his contemporary style.

Cusco has a huge number of tourists visiting the city, and it has a lot to offer the visitors. The tourists never det enough of this fascinating place, and the most common thing they say when they leave is:"i wish i had a month more in Cusco". One of the things that fascinates the tourist is the inca-architecture, with huge rocks put together in a structured way, and you cannot even put a needle between them. In downtown Cusco most buildings are a combination between inca-architecture and spanish colonial architecture.
In the archeological museum you can see interesting articles of metal and gold, jewels, stones, textiles and mummies from an ancient time. And don´t miss out the museum of the inca.
In the areas ar ound Cusco there are many interesting ruins from the inca-time, like Sacsayhuaman , Quenco, Puca Pucara and Tambo Machay. Cusco in the inca-time was constructed in the shape of a Puma seen from abouve. Koricancha (Temple of the sun) was the heart of the Puma and Sacsayhuaman was the head.
Sacsayhuaman was a military fort on a height outside Cusco, made of massive rocks in the characteristic inca way, and the biggest stone is more than 5 meters tall.
This was used to defend Cusco from outside enemies, and for religious ceremonies.
Valle Sagrado, or the Sacred Valley of the incas, is also a very interesting attraction.This beautiful fertile valley goes all the way from Cusco to Machu Picchu, along with the river Urubamba surronded by a impressive mountain-landscape. On the way there are many interesting inca-r uins, like Pisaq y Ollantaytambo.
The trek is a four days adventure where diferent incaruins appear on the way. You can also go on a trek for two days starting at kilometer 104. The trek is limited and can only take 500 people per day and it´s very important to make a reservation with anticipation. But the most important attraction outside Cusco is definately Machu Picchu, and we dedicate this spectacular monument it´s own chapter.
Other interesting activi ties around Cusco is mountainbiking, bungie -jumping, and other extreme-sports. Cusco is a very interesting, is a must for any tourist. There are hardly any tourist going to Peru not visiting Cusco, so all we can say is: VISIT CUSCO .

* Reportedly, the Mets hired Dave Jauss as bench coach. Jauss has a history with Jerry Manuel, who as a field coordinator for Montreal in the late 1980s, hired him as a minor league manager. Jauss has also been a bench coach for Boston, Los Angeles and New York.
I got to know Jauss when I covered the Yankees. I'd pick his brain whenever I could when the Yankees played the Red Sox. He's a very smart and personable guy, who I believe will someday get a chance to manager on the major league level.
* I liked the story in the Daily News about Carlos Beltran visiting a VA hospital in Manhattan. A lot of times we hear of the bad guys in sports, but there are far more good guys, and Beltran is one of them. I've found most players are willing to, and enjoy, making such appearances like Beltran.
* GM Omar Minaya is not giving up the ghost of Carlos Delgado. He'll scout him in the Puerto Rican winter league to see how healthy he is and how his hip as recovered. I'm still of the belief not bringing back Delgado is the way to go if the team is in a rebuilding mode.
* Sandy Alomar Jr., left the organization to be bench coach at Cleveland. It is a step up, but it was also an obviously inevitable move. Once dad got the ax, the son was looking out the door.
* Tim Teufel was promoted to manage Double-A Binghamton.

Choosing the Right Law School / Fourth Tier worth it if 60% scholarship offered.?« on: April 03, 2013, 03:59:55 PM »
My husband and I and my toddler were just relocated to Charleston, SC with his job. I have been offered $25k for three years to attend Charleston School of Law. Wondering if it's worth it to this recently accredited school... The tuition is $38k. Due to my husband's job and our life circumstances, if I want to go to law school it really does have to be in our back yard, and it's the only school around. I am confident I will graduate at the top of my class... Is it worth the roughly $30k in debt?

`Innocence of Muslims'
"Innocence of Muslims" is an anti-Islamic film reportedly written and produced by Nakoula Basseley Nakoula, a California resident. A YouTube video showing an excerpt of the video was broadcast on an Egyptian Islamist television station on Sept. 9. On Sept. 11, demonstrations and violent protests against the film broke out in Egypt and spread to other Arab and Muslim nations. Throughout the course of the protests, hundreds were injured and over 75 were killed. According to the actors involved in the film's production, the movie's original working title was 'Desert Warrior' and was not religiously motivated; the anti-Islamic content was added in post production by overdubbing, reportedly without the actors' knowledge. Nakoula was arrested on Sept. 27 and was sentenced to one year in prison and four years of supervised release.

Lipscomb's Bisons took another step towards qualifying for the Atlantic Sun Conference basketball tournament with a 71-65 victory over Campbell Thursday night at Allen Arena.
"I was dreading this game all week long," said Lipscomb Coach Scott Sanderson. "I've had a headache all week long. Campbell is a very good team. They have played everybody close to the wire."
After battling to a 57-57 tie in regulation the Bisons outscored Campbell 14-8 in the overtime period to ice the game. Trailing 60-57 with 3:41 left in the overtime period Lipscomb's James Poindexter hit back-to-back 3-pointers and LaBrian Lyons added a third to put the Bisons up 66-60 with 2:12 remaining.
"Those were humongous threes for us," Sanderson. "This was a big win for us because of how we won."
Lipscomb led 23-10 at 7:11 on a lay-up by Eddie Ard. That was the last points the Bisons would score in the first half, but Campbell was unable to take control of the game at that point. The Bisons managed to go in at intermission with a 23-22 edge.
"I thought late in the first half we played a little tentative," Sanderson said. "We were very short on a lot of shots. We were playing not to lose. I put on the board that we needed to play to win."
It was more of the same for the Bisons early in the second half. Campbell took a 24-23 lead, but Poindexter broke the ice for the Bisons with a lay-up at 18:16 for a 25-24 lead.
"The good thing is Campbell wasn't scoring a lot either," Sanderson said. "They weren't scoring at a rapid pace. We got some cheap baskets in transition early, but then we struggled with their zone the final seven minutes."
The lead would change hands 17 times in the second half.
Campbell went on a 7-0 run to lead 47-41 with 8:12 left. The Bisons refused to give up.
"We just kept battling and kept battling," Sanderson said. "I thought the first seven or eight possessions of the second half we got good shots, but we just didn't make them. The rim was shrinking smaller and smaller for us."
Ard set a school record for blocks in a game with nine, breaking the old record of eight in the NCAA era by Albert Hacker on Feb. 5, 2004 against Florida Atlantic.
"Eddie is a difference-maker when people try to drive in there," Sanderson said. "He can block some shots."
Poindexter led the Bisons in scoring with 19 points. Brian Fisk added 17 point and also tied his season-high for assists with seven.
Ruell Pringle and Diego Aguiar each scored 15 points for Campbell. Jake Wohlfeil added 11, and Comerlee Poole finished with 10.
It was the 31st straight loss for Campbell on the road in A-Sun games, and the19th loss in a row.
Lipscomb is 13-11 overall, 8-9 in the conference. Campbell is 2-22, 0-17 in the A-Sun.
The Bisons continue their four-game homestand Saturday at 4 against Gardner-Webb, the top team in the A-Sun.
"We have to come out and be solid for 40 minutes," Sanderson said. "We can't have seven-or-eight-minute droughts like we did in this game. Gardner-Webb is a team that can stretch you all over the floor. They are coming off a big win at Belmont."

Is it just me?
For the last few weeks, when I browse the pages in G4ILO's Shack using Google Chrome browser, they start displaying in a plain text sort of mode.
How pages look in Google Chrome
How that page is supposed to look
I think what's happening is the CSS style sheet isn't being loaded. So the pages are appearing without any formatting. But why? This doesn't happen in Firefox. It didn't used to happen in Chrome. And it doesn't happen in Chrome after I clear the cache. After that the next few pages display OK until it eventually happens again.
Is it just me, or is this happening to everyone who visits my site using Google Chrome?

A worker for United Airlines is being praised for helping ease the fears of a woman traveling with her dog.
Ashley Cervantes shared her story on the Love What Matters Facebook page.
In her post, Cervantes says she was extremely nervous to travel with her dog Maya from Dallas to Hawaii where she was moving for her husband's military assignment.
She put a note on Maya's crate and included her phone number. She hoped someone would text her an update during her three hour layover in Denver.
To her surprise, she received a text from a worker complete with a picture of Maya. The worker, now identified as Tom Brady who told Ashley he had boxer named Chloe.He also let her know her know that Maya got fresh water and was able to stretch her legs.
"I can't even describe the amount of stress that has just been lifted from me, all because of his kindness," Cervantes wrote. "Thank you sir for treating my family as your family!"
Thanks to your emails, we were able to identify the United worker.
Brady says he wasn't expecting any recognition and that he loves animals and treats all the animals he comes across at work as if they were his own.
Ashley shared some adorable video with us of Maya enjoying her new home.
"Thanks to Thomas she made it safe and is currently living it up in Hawaii," she wrote via email.

Every public retirement agency is required to maintain decades of data about each member. With nearly 20 million members receiving a public employment benefit, that's a treasure trove of data that retirement agencies are sitting on 1. Are agencies using this data to be more insight-driven?
Accenture's North America Pensions survey included interviews of 100 decision makers and C-suite executives at American national, state and city public retirement agencies to understand general attitudes toward data analytics.
The findings reveal that many retirement agencies are using analytics to some degree, but they aren't fully diving in to take advantage of the benefits. In fact, 92 percent believe their organization would benefit from doing more with data analytics. And 80 percent believe data analytics can help public retirement systems meet the goal of providing appropriate benefits to members. So what's stopping agencies from taking the plunge?

CANANDAIGUA � Citing concerns with speeding vehicles, along with occasional crashes in the area, the town of Canandaigua has filed a speed study request for a portion of Parrish Street Extension to the New York State Department of Transportation.
Specifically, the request is to monitor the section of Parrish Street extension between Routes 5 and 20, and Route 21 said Councilwoman and Supervisor-elect Pam Helming. The study request was filed�in the light of�concerns that were expressed by Ryan Chiappone, a Parrish Street Extension resident and owner of the Finger Lakes Equestrian Center, which is also on that road.
�Coming off Route 21 to Parrish Street is a flat stretch, and people just gun it,� Chiappone said. He added that, anecdotally, he has noticed that the 4 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. stretch has been particularly worrisome in regard to speeding vehicles. He said he can hear the sound of cars accelerating down the road.
Chiappone added he would like to see the speed reduced from 55 miles per hour to 45 or less. As well, he would like to see a speed limit sign posted. Additionally, he said increased law enforcement on the road, if possible, would be welcome and could potentially cut down on what he believes is an abundance of speeders.
The request for a speed study was added to the town agenda by Helming in October and passed by the board last month. Chiappone said he spoke with Helming when she stopped by his business during a campaigning trip around the town. He mentioned his concern about speeding in the area to Helming at that time.
It usually takes a couple of months, depending on other requests that are submitted to the DOT, to complete�a speed survey, said DOT spokeswoman Lori Maher. If it�s determined that a change is necessary, the change is made as soon as possible, she added.
The�town also had filed a speed study for Risser Road to the DOT in August, but has not yet heard any results from that study, Helming said.

The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) has published the first technical specification for a universal charger for notebook computers and laptops that the international standards organization says will "significantly reduce" e-waste.
IEC Technical Specification 62700: DC Power supply for notebook computer, will be available in early 2014.
Each year billions of external chargers are shipped globally. Power supplies for notebooks weigh typically around 300 but sometimes up to 600 grams. They are generally not usable from one computer to the next. Sometimes they get lost or break, leading to the discarding of computers that may still work perfectly well.
IEC estimates that the total e-waste related to all kinds of chargers of information and communication devices exceeds half a million tons each year.

- What I Love About My Small Home:
- I love that I live in my sister and bro-in-law's guest house -- it's very Katherine Heigl, Knocked Up. Though I'm not blonde or pregnant. Anyway, it's a fantastic space, conveniently located in West Hollywood. I can walk to just about anywhere, with great food and shopping all around. The icing on the cake...a City Target across the street! My favorite thing about my small home is my back patio, which my cute dogs can enjoy at their leisure.
- Biggest Challenge of Living in a Small Space:
