3 HEALTH AND SAFETY PRECAUTIONS FOR THE COURSE Continued 4. Tell participants that when giving first aid care or CPR/AED, personal protective equipment items, such as disposable gloves or CPR breathing barriers, that are soiled with blood or body fluids are considered to be contaminated and a biohazard and must be disposed of properly. Instructions for cleaning up blood or other body fluids can be found on redcross.org. 5. Tell participants that workplaces also have a designated employer representative who can advise on the individual facility s exposure control plan. TOPIC: ANAPHYLAXIS (SEVERE ALLERGIC REACTION) Time: 7 minutes ANAPHYLAXIS Lecture Presentation Slides E.1 E.2 PM, page Approximately 2 million people in the United States are at risk for anaphylaxis. About 400 to 800 deaths in the United States are caused by anaphylaxis. Death can occur within minutes of exposure to an antigen (a foreign substance that brings on the allergic reaction). Fortunately, some deaths can be prevented if anaphylaxis is recognized immediately and cared for quickly. 2. Allergic reactions are caused by the activity of the immune system. The body recognizes and protects itself from antigens by producing antibodies. These antibodies fight antigens. Antibodies are found in the liver, bone marrow, spleen and lymph glands. When the immune system recognizes an antigen, it releases chemicals to fight these foreign substances and eliminate them from the body. 3. Mild allergic reactions can cause redness or irritation around the site of exposure. 4. Severe allergic reactions, in which air passages may swell and restrict breathing, include signals of shock. 5. Anaphylaxis usually occurs suddenly, within seconds or minutes after contact with the substance. 6. Death may occur quickly. SIGNALS OF ANAPHYLAXIS Lecture Presentation Slide E.3 PM, page The signals of anaphylaxis include: Weakness, dizziness or confusion. Swelling of the face, throat or tongue. Rash or hives. Tight feeling in the chest and throat. Difficulty breathing, wheezing or shortness of breath. Trouble breathing can progress to a blocked airway due to swelling of the lips, tongue, throat and larynx (voice box). Low blood pressure. Shock. 2. Unconsciousness and death may occur if anaphylactic shock is not treated. 3. An injection of epinephrine can help relax the muscles of the respiratory system. Optional Lesson: Anaphylaxis and Epinephrine Auto-Injector 3
4 TOPIC: CARE FOR ANAPHYLAXIS Time: 10 minutes CARE FOR ANAPHYLAXIS Guided Discussion and Lecture PM, pages Tell participants to imagine a situation in which you are the only person available to help someone having an allergic reaction. 2. Lead participants in a brief discussion by asking: As the person s throat begins to swell and close, what would you do? If medication was available to help the person, how could you help? What things would you check before giving care? 3. Cover the following points during the discussion. Call or have someone call or the local emergency number. You may help a person with an auto-injector when: The person has a history of allergies or allergic reactions. A person is having a severe allergic reaction. The person asks for assistance in administering epinephrine. The person provides you with his or her own prescribed auto-injector. Your state law permits it. The effects of epinephrine are relatively short in duration, so persons having severe allergic reactions require additional medications that can be provided only by a hospital. If the person is conscious and able to talk, ask the person the following questions: What is your name? What happened? How do you feel? Do you feel any tingling in your hands, feet or lips? Do you feel pain anywhere? Do you have any allergies? Do you have prescribed medications to take in case of an allergic reaction? Do you know what triggered the reaction? How much and how long were you exposed? Do you have any medical conditions or are you taking any medications? Check the person head to toe: Visually inspect the person s body. Observe for signals of respiratory distress or allergic reactions. Look for a medical identification (ID) tag, bracelet or necklace. Check the person s head. Observe for swelling of the face, neck or tongue. Notice if the person is drowsy, is not alert, confused or is exhibiting slurred speech. Check the skin s appearance. Look at the person s face and lips. Is the skin cold or hot? Unusually wet or dry? Pale, bluish or flushed? Check the person s chest. Ask if he or she is experiencing pain during breathing. Notice rate, depth of breaths, wheezes or gasping sounds. 4 First Aid/CPR/AED Online Instructor Resources 2011 The American National Red Cross
5 CARE FOR ANAPHYLAXIS Continued When EMS arrives, describe the following: The person s experience What occurred The signals observed The care given When epinephrine was given Location of the injection site How the person reacted to the medication TOPIC: EPINEPHRINE AUTO-INJECTOR Time: 25 minutes EPINEPHRINE AUTO-INJECTOR Lecture Presentation Slides E.4 E.5 PM, pages People who know that they are extremely allergic to certain substances may carry an anaphylaxis kit. 2. The kit contains a dose (or two) of epinephrine, a drug that works in the body to counteract the anaphylactic reaction. 3. Individuals who are at risk for severe allergic reactions should wear a medical ID tag, bracelet or necklace. 4. An auto-injector is a way to administer epinephrine. The auto-injector is a springloaded syringe system with a single dose of epinephrine. 5. An auto-injector is available only through a prescription. 6. Auto-injectors are available in doses of 0.3 mg for adults and 0.15 mg for children weighing 33 to 66 pounds. 7. In some cases, you may need to assist the person using his or her kit. This may include getting the pen or kit from a purse, car or home or out of a specially designed carrier or belt. It also may include taking it out of the plastic tube or assisting the person with the injection. 8. Leave the safety cap on until it is ready to use. 9. Never put your finger over the tip (needle end) when removing the safety cap or after the safety cap has been removed. 10. The auto-injector unit requires special care when using and disposing. Give it to the EMS personnel when they arrive. 11. Properly dispose of any contaminated or potentially contaminated object. EPINEPHRINE AUTO-INJECTOR Video 1. Tell participants that you are going to show them a video on epinephrine auto-injectors. 2. Show the video segment, Assisting with an Epinephrine Auto-Injector (2:56).

Participants may use only an epinephrine auto-injector training device. 3. To avoid injury during practice, warn participants not to strike their partner too hard with the training injector. 4. Tell participants to take their disposable gloves and training device to the practice area. 5. Have participants choose a partner; one person will be the responder and one will be the conscious victim. 6. Using disposable gloves and the auto-injector training device, have participants follow along as you guide them through the steps for using an epinephrine auto-injector. 7. Review the steps of using an epinephrine auto-injector as a group. 8. Have participants change places and repeat the skill. 9. Record participants successful completion of this skill on the Participant Progress Log. LESSON WRAP-UP Presentation Slide E.8 1. What are some signals of anaphylaxis? Answers: Responses should include the following: Weakness, dizziness or confusion. Swelling of the face, throat or tongue. Rash or hives. Tight feeling in the chest and throat. Difficulty breathing, wheezing or shortness of breath. Low blood pressure. Shock. 2. Do you have to have a prescription for epinephrine auto-injector? Answer: Yes, epinephrine is considered a medication that can be prescribed only by a physician. 3. Why is anaphylaxis considered an emergency? Answer: Death from anaphylaxis usually occurs because the person s breathing is severely impaired. 4. When should you call or the local emergency number? Answer: Always call or the local emergency number for someone experiencing anaphylaxis. 6 First Aid/CPR/AED Online Instructor Resources 2011 The American National Red Cross
7 Optional Skills Practice Assisting with an Epinephrine Auto-Injector SKILL CHART ASSISTING WITH AN EPINEPHRINE AUTO-INJECTOR Determine whether the person has already taken epinephrine or an antihistamine. If so, administer a second dose only when EMS personnel are not present or delayed and if signals of anaphylaxis persist after a few minutes. Check the label to confirm that the prescription of the auto-injector is for this person. Check the expiration date of the auto-injector. If it has expired, DO NOT USE IT. If the medication is visible, confirm that the liquid is clear and not cloudy. If it is cloudy, DO NOT USE IT. Note: If possible, help the person self-administer the auto-injector. To care for a conscious person if the patient is unable to self-administer the auto-injector, and if local and/or state regulations allow: 1. Locate the outside middle of one thigh to use as the injection site.* 2. Grasp the auto-injector firmly in your fist and pull off the safety cap with your other hand. 3. Hold the tip (needle end) near the patient s outer thigh so that the auto-injector is at a 90-degree angle to the thigh. 4. Quickly and firmly push the tip straight into the outer thigh. You will hear a click. 5. Hold the auto-injector firmly in place for 10 seconds, then remove it from the thigh and massage the injection site with a gloved hand for several seconds. 6. Recheck the person s breathing and observe his or her response to the medication. 7. Handle the used auto-injector carefully, placing it in a safe container. Give it to EMS personnel when they arrive. *If injecting through clothing, press on the area with a hand before injecting to determine that there are no obstructions at the injection site, such as keys, coins or the side seam of trousers.

Dentist Adventure
I am feeling so much better now that I got a root canal!!! I was in so much pain I could have ripped a door off and splintered it all over the floor!!! It was 5 days of such awfulness, I felt like I was in labor, the way it came in waves. I am so happy that it is finally over!!! Even with the 3 shots in the top of my mouth and a sore jaw from the tooth rest.

So they did end up doing a root canal? After them telling you for so long that there was nothing wrong?
Did Dr. Dance do it, or did you go see the other guy?

Somehow I thought all Icelandic sheep had 2 horns or none. But it turns out that they can be polled (no horns or nonje in Icelandic!), have one, two, three or even four horns! And then there are sheep with different combinations of horn "buds" which appear....it's all very confusing genetics. Add the horn differences in with all the 28 colors and patterns, the "thoka" gene (attributed to some ewes that have many lambs), and the "leadersheep" oddity and you've got a very complex breed!
Polled and 4 horns are dominant, genetically speaking, but 2 horned sheep make up 70% of the flock in Iceland. I believe this has something to do with the focus on breeding for the more lucrative, "white" fleeces. Though horn number varies by region since some farmers prefer the ease of handling a polled sheep (no danger of injury if there are no horns!) and others prefer the regal look of a 2-4 horned sheep.
Since Icelanders try to use every part of an animal, the horns are used for buttons, tools, needles, etc. I purchased a few horn tip buttons at Alafoss - thought they might work into some future felt bags. Anna's workshop was full of sheep horns at various stages of use. She also had a reindeer rack (reindeer are not native to Iceland, but a few years back they brought some over from Norway - I don't know why). She intends to use them for buttons as well but said the smell when cutting a reindeer horn up is so bad she is waiting for the "right moment".
The color genetics of these sheep has always been a tad convoluted and nothing about the trip made it any clearer to me. Really....since when is white considered not a color but a pattern!? Anyway I wrote a little summary of the genetics of these sheep for a yarn CSA a couple of years ago if you're interested in reading it. I also have a great poster in the workshop here at the store which shows each of the 28 potential colors/patterns that these sheep come in, so check that out next time you're in if you want!
Another surprise was to learn was that the "leadersheep" (forystufe) are not necessarily dark brown with a badger face! For some reason, I thought that specific coloring was how you distinguished these unique leadersheep from the rest. I took this photo at the Hildarett roundup, sure that this was the leadersheep since he had the coloring I always associated with leadersheep! Now I realize he may be just as "ordinary" as the rest of the group!
In case you haven't heard about these leadersheep before, they are a unique subset of Icelandics ( less than .5% of Icelandics) that are exceptionally intelligent. Contrary to what I thought, it turns out that the leadersheep can be any color. And have any number of horns - or none!
Leadersheep are generally taller and trimmer than the other Icelandics. But what sets them apart most is their intelligence. They are somehow endowed with a tremendous sense of leadership, guardianship, and acute sense of direction and keen anticipation of weather changes. They herd other sheep much like border collies. So these unique abilities make these select sheep the ones that lead the flock out of danger and to safety. So I guess the only real way of identifying them is to observe them in the flock?
There are about 1500 of these "leadersheep" today, thanks to an effort in the 1970s to have leader rams at the AI insemination stations around Iceland. Obviously, this is not dominant if only ..5% of all the sheep turn out to have this distinct ability.
And then lastly, I have felted and spun Icelandic fleece before but have always chosen lamb fleeces (to get the softest) and then carded the tog and thel together, knowing that the tog was coarser but not as coarse as it could be since I had bought a lamb!
If you're just joining this discussion, these 2 aspects of the Icelandic fleece were discussed in an earlier post.
But having seen the handknit/handwoven articles in the Textile Museum in Blonduos that feature either the tog or the thel made me want to work with another Icelandic fleece just so I could go thru the process and experience such a fleece as 2 separate components, rather than one!
So I'm embarking on a project to separate tog from thel of some fiber I got there and am going to spin them separately and then knit something with each element spun separately. Why not add one more project to my ever increasing bucket list of "fiber-want-to-dos" !
So below I share a few photos of my start on this journey as I've separated the tog from the thel this week. The separation was easy by hand. A bit faster using a brush. But in both cases, I still ended up putting the tog thru my St. Blaise combs because I needed to produce a nice sliver for spinning. So in retrospect I should have just used the combs to begin with! They obviously did, since we saw Viking Combs in both the Textile Museum in Blonduos and also in the Turf Village we visited.
In this first photo, I laid a lock as shorn off the sheep next to the "tog" (long coarser 12" length) and the "thel" (shorter, softer clump) which I separated by hand.
This next photo shows some of the tog laid on my St. Blaise and then the photo below it shows the tog combed (took about 5 seconds!).
Lastly, here is the lovely sliver I"m pulling thru a diz.

Preliminary program
9:00 - 9:15 Welcome and Introduction
9:15 -10:00 Invited talk by Bruno Clerckx, "Rate Splitting: An Idea Whose Time Has Come". Presentation slides.
MIMO signal processing plays a central part towards the recent increase in spectral efficiencies of wireless networks. MIMO has grown beyond the original point-to-point channel and nowadays refers to a diverse range of centralized and distributed deployments. The fundamental bottleneck towards enormous spectral efficiencies in multiuser MIMO networks lies in a huge demand for accurate channel state information at the transmitter (CSIT). This has become increasingly difficult to satisfy due to the increasing number of antennas and access points in 5G networks relying on dense heterogeneous networks and transmitters equipped with a large number of antennas. CSIT inaccuracy results in a multi-user interference problem that is the primary bottleneck of MIMO wireless networks. Looking backward, the problem has been to strive to apply techniques designed for perfect CSIT to scenarios with imperfect CSIT. This talk departs from this conventional approach and introduces the audience to a promising strategy based on rate splitting.
Rate splitting relies on the transmission of common (degraded) messages decoded by multiple users, and private (nondegraded) messages decoded by their corresponding users. This bridges two transmission strategies that deal with the extremes of unknown and perfectly known multiuser interference. As a result, multiuser transmission moves away from conventional unicast-only transmission to superimposed unicast multicast transmission. Through information and communication theoretic analysis, rate splitting is shown to provide significant benefits in terms of spectral efficiencies, reliability and CSI feedback overhead reduction over conventional strategies used in LTE-A and exclusively relying on private (unicast) messages. Moreover, the gains of rate splitting will be demonstrated in a wide range of scenarios: multi-user MIMO, massive MIMO, multi-cell MIMO, overloaded systems, Non-Orthogonal Multiple Access (NOMA), multigroup multicasting, mmwave communications, communication with RF impairments and caching. Signal processing and optimization techniques used to achieve the fundamentally promised gains are further presented and elaborated. Open problems and challenges will also be discussed.

10:00 -10:30 Coffee break
10:30 -11:15 Invited talk by Eduard Jorswieck, "Resource Allocation in Heterogeneous interference networks: energy-efficiency, security and latency". Presentation slides.
Abstract: The fifth and following generation of mobile communications introduce a number of massive requirements in terms of throughput and efficiency, in latency reduction, scalability with number of devices, robustness and resilience, safety and security, as well as heterogeneity. Some important requirements as heterogeneity, efficiency, security are to be achieved by careful modelling and system design. This talk provides an overview of modelling, analysis and design tools for resource allocation and transceiver optimisation in single- and multi-hop heterogeneous interference networks. These tools include multi-objective optimisation, fractional sequential programming, and physical layer security.

11:15 -12:00 Invited talk by Martin Lerch, "Affordable Mobile Communications Experiments in High Mobility Scenarios". Presentation slides.
Abstract: Mobile communications experiments in high mobility environments such as high speed trains, motorways or airplanes are expensive, time-consuming and sometimes dangerous or even impossible. Researchers are then often forced to rely on simulations and their underlying models to test new transmission or receiver techniques. Fortunately, such experiments can also be emulated at lower velocities by time-stretching the transmit signals before the transmission and corresponding time compression in the receiver. Considering multicarrier modulation schemes like OFDM or FBMC, there exist different methods to perform the required time-stretching and time-compression to apply this technique. Unfortunately, all these methods are subject to certain limitations. In this talk, i will first compare these methods regarding their applicability in different kinds of experiments and in different scenarios. Then, corresponding testbed measurements and their underlying measurement setup and measurement methodology to test the feasibility of these methods are presented. Finally, the results of real world measurements where these techniques were applied are highlighted.
Bio: Martin Lerch was born in Vienna, Austria in 1978. After attending a technical high school, he studied electrical and communication engineering at TU Wien where he received his master's degree in 2008. During this time and later, Martin developed several database, Web, and desktop applications before he returned to TU Wien in 2011 to work on the Vienna MIMO Testbed at the Institute of Telecommunications. Martin's work focuses on the development of new measurement methodologies for static and high mobility mobile communication scenarios.

Flappy Bird is gone but he's not forgotten, and creator Dong Nguyen says he might even fly again someday.
Flappy Bird was a silly, derivative exercise in mindless screen-poking that somehow became the digital equivalent of crack cocaine. Yet as popular as it was, its simplistic play and graphics assets that were basically lifted wholesale from Super Mario Bros. caused a backlash so ugly that Dong Nguyen, the man who made the game, pulled it from the App Store and Google Play despite reportedly earning as much as $50,000 per day on the thing.
He's still making money on it thanks to the millions of people who downloaded and apparently continue to play it, and as Rolling Stone points out, there's been a "reappraisal" of Flappy Bird in the wake of its disappearance. He's hasn't given up on making games, either, and currently has three separate projects on the go, including one, an "action chess game" called Checkonaut that he expects to release later this month.
Walking away from Flappy Bird was a "relief," he said, adding, "I can't go back to my life before, but I'm good now." But that doesn't mean he won't revisit the game at some point in the future: He's rebuffed all offers to buy the property and is "considering" releasing it again at some point.
Will it fly as well as the original? I'm inclined to doubt it - lightning in a bottle and all that - but it's such an oddball situation that there might still be some bounce in it. Either way, he also said that any future release of Flappy Bird will come with a warning: "Please take a break."

text: NEW YORK — There was a scary moment for St. John's late in the first half of their game against St. Francis at Madison Square Garden when freshman standout Yankuba Sima was forced to the sideline after dislocating his right pinkie. The 6-foot-11 freshman from Spain sat on the end of the bench grimacing as trainer Ron Linfonte attended to him and wrapped the digit. "It was really painful because my finger was disolcated," said Sima, who ranked the degree of pain a nine out of 10. "But when they put it back in it was way better." The big man returned with his right hand taped up in the second half and responded by knocking down his first three-pointer of the season en route to a 17-point, 10-rebound performance as St. John's beat St. Francis, 63-56, in the ECAC Holiday Festival. It was the freshman's first double-double of the season for the Red Storm (5-3), who used a 19-2 run at the end of the first half to take control. The victory made first-year coach Chris Mullin a winner in his coaching debut at the Garden. "I love this place, always have, always will," the 52-year-old Brooklyn native said. "I think I enjoyed playing here more than coaching." Before the game, teammate Durand Johnson motivated Sima by reminding him how talented he is. "I was in [Sima's] ear for like 10 minutes just telling him how good he is [and that] he's the best player and he should dominate the game," said Johnson, who finished with a game-high 19 points and six rebounds, including a baseline jumper with 30 seconds remaining that sealed the victory for the Red Storm. "And he went out and showed that. When he went down with the finger, I was a little worried, but when I talked to him at half time, he said he was good to go, I knew he was going to go out and be ready." Sima, who entered with a right thumb injury, showed an ability to finish with both his right and his left hands near the basket. He also took — and made — his first 3 of the season. "Did he hit a 3?" St. Francis coach Glenn Braica said. "That kind of surprised me. He's really athletic and long around the basket. That affects you. We got into the lane a lot, and I thought their athleticism and their length bothered us. That's understandable." "He's going to be really, really good," Mullin said of Sima. "It's just not going to be there every night like probably our whole roster." Christian Jones added 13 points and nine rebounds for St. John's, which was coming off a loss to Fordham, which is now riding a six-game winning streak. In his second game back after being cleared from the NCAA, freshman forward Kassoum Yakwe managed just two points and one rebound in 17 minutes. The Red Storm are already muddled with injuries. Malik Ellison (foot) has missed the past six games and Darien Williams (shoulder) has missed the past five. There is still no time frame on the return for Ellison or Williams, but Ellison is expected back sooner. Mullin said both would be re-examined on Monday. The Johnnies were fortunate that Sima's injury was not more serious. The freshman with pro potential is ranked the 40th best freshman in the nation, according to DraftExpress. The site scouted Sima as a player who "lacks elite size or athleticism to be considered a top-shelf big man prospect from an NBA standpoint, but should nevertheless be a difference maker at the college level at St. John's with a chance to get drafted down the road if his skill-level, feel for the game and motor continue to improve."

SHARJAH, United Arab Emirates — Leg-spinner Rashid Khan starred as Afghanistan wrapped up a dominant 4-1 series win over Zimbabwe on Monday, cruising to a 146-run victory in the fifth and final One-Day International at Sharjah.
After winning the toss and batting first, Afghanistan posted 241-9 from their 50 overs, before bowling out Zimbabwe for just 95.
The two teams meet again in Zimbabwe at the 2019 World Cup qualifiers next month, with the Asian side clear favorites to qualify for the tournament in England and Wales based on the evidence of this series.
The 19-year-old Khan struck a 29-ball 43, before taking the final three wickets to fall to finish with figures of 3-13.
Khan continued his march towards becoming the fastest-ever bowler to reach 100 ODI wickets with his 16 in the series taking him to 86 from 37 games in total.
Australian fast bowler Mitchell Starc holds the record for least amount of ODIs to take 100 wickets, with 52. Zimbabwe leave the United Arab Emirates with only one win from seven matches, having lost the preceding T20 series 2-0.
A second-wicket partnership of 129 between Javed Ahmadi and Rahmat Shah set Afghanistan up for a big score at 142-1, but Shah's dismissal for 59 triggered a collapse of 6-35.
Ahmadi was run out shortly afterwards for a well-compiled 76, but Afghanistan were hauled to a decent total by No. 9 Khan, who hit three sixes before falling to the final ball of the innings.
Zimbabwe got off to a solid start with Brendan Taylor and Craig Ervine both getting starts, but wicketkeeper Taylor was trapped lbw by left-arm spinner Sharafuddin Ashraf for 27 and the last eight wickets tumbled for only 23 runs. — AFP

ENGLAND regular Chris Hill welcomed the decision to take a Test match to Colorado today and dismissed any fears associated with playing at high altitude.
Some NRL clubs have raised concerns over the distance involved for a mid-season international between England and New Zealand and have sought assurances about staging the game at the Mile High Stadium in Denver.
The match on June 23 is seen as an important stepping stone towards the 2025 World Cup which will be held in North America and Hill is full of praise for the organisers' initiative.
The Warrington prop also insists, from his experience of attending a high-altitude training camp in South Africa in the build-up to the 2013 World Cup, that there is nothing to fear from the conditions the players can expect in Denver.
"It's brilliant taking it somewhere new and letting the people of the United States see what it's all about," Hill said.
"They are big on sport in general, aren't they? And the stadium in Denver looks pretty awesome.
"We've trained at high altitude a few times. The first couple of days you can feel the difference and then you start getting used to it. It's the same for both teams, isn't it? We'll be sweet.
"I'm looking forward to it if selected. It should be a good Test there.
"The mid-season games are a great thing for international rugby league. It sets it up for the end of the year."
Hill also welcomed the reappointment of veteran Australian Wayne Bennett as head coach and the plan to continue with regular get-togethers during the domestic season.
"He's a top bloke and a great coach," Hill said. "I'm looking forward to working with him again.
"Meeting up every four or six weeks just for a feed and a coffee together does make that difference. You do get your connections with each other. It showed in the World Cup how tight we were as a group. "
Hill is expected to be included in Bennett's updated elite performance squad of Super League-based players when it is unveiled tomorrow and is tipping his Warrington teammate Daryl Clark for a recall after making an impressive start to the season.
The 2014 Man of Steel played for England in the 2014 and 2016 Four Nations Series but lost out to rival hookers James Roby [St Helens] and Josh Hodgson [Canberra] for the 2017 World Cup.
"I should imagine Clarky will be straight back in it," said the Wolves skipper. "Jack Hughes has performed well, so I wouldn't be surprised if he gets in.
"The amount of English talent at the minute is fantastic."
The Rugby Football League will also announce the England Knights squad, which is being brought out of mothballs in 2018 under former Huddersfield coach Paul Anderson.

We were sorry to hear that Craig Moore, the former Newcastle United center-back, has just undergone surgery for testicular cancer.
Craig Moore – fighting testicular cancer
The 32-year-old center-back has withdrawn from the Australian squad for next week's World Cup qualifying match against Bahrain, and Craig has revealed his medical condition, by issuing a statement.
Craig played for Newcastle from 2005-2007, and when he played he was very good, but was nearly always injured, and during his two seasons at the club, played only 31 games in total. He was a very safe player and always played within his abilities, and therefore was a dependable defender, who put in some solid performances for our club.
Doctors treating Moore however are however upbeat, and insist the outlook for Moore is good.
Pim Verbeek, Australia's manager, said the news had taken everybody by surprise.
"It's always a shock to hear of a diagnosis like this but I am encouraged by the prognosis from the medical practitioner," "I speak for the entire team in wishing him a speedy recovery."
While Craig was at Newcastle he represented Australia in the World Cup in Germany, and was one of the Socceroos best players in that tournament, and he even scored a goal. Craig never quite managed that for Newcastle, but he garnered some good publicity for Newcastle during Australia's good performances in the last World Cup.
We wish Craig all the best, and hope he'll have a speedy and complete recovery.

The Coffee Connection
Finding the 'love language' to please your spouse
By Hallie Lord
My husband is an avid coffee drinker. In the early years of our marriage, his brand of choice was a well-known canned brand. Add two sugars and a splash of cream and all was well with his world. This was strange to me. Where I hail from — a small suburb in Northern California — most everyone drinks only the highest-quality coffee, bought from one of those upper-crust corner cafés. Even those who choose to brew their own coffee use only the freshest, most expensive cocoa beans — a necessary indulgence, you understand.
Wanting only the best for my new husband, you can imagine how terrible I felt upon discovering that he had long been depriving himself of quality coffee. With the firmly-set resolve that is common to young wives, I set about to remedy this problem. Graciously offering to play barista, I secretly snuck all manner of spices, syrups and creams into his beverages. I was sure that my actions were blessing him hugely; after all, he drank those beverages down to their dregs without complaint every morning.
Eventually, though, I started to notice that the enthusiastic compliments I was expecting never came. So I asked him: what did he think of my imitation of a five-dollar cup of coffee? As gently as he could, my southern born-and-bred husband informed me that in truth, he really just wanted to go back to two-sugars-and-a-splash-of-cream. It was then that I realized my mistake. Instead of taking the time to familiarize myself with my husband's preferences, I'd blithely assumed he'd share my own. I thought that "the two become one" meant that he becomes more like me!
What I was silently saying was: "Here's your coffee, sweetheart — just the way I like it!"
I'd failed to learn what author Gary Chapman would call our "love language." I knew what I needed. I knew my love language. That was enough, right?
My wish that my husband should have the highest-quality coffee was a step in the right direction, to be sure. It was nothing less than a loving response to the first nudges of agape. But more was being asked of me; more is asked of all who enter into the covenant of marriage. We are asked to die to self to a degree we've never before experienced. To love well, we must become like detectives in our pursuit of the secret longings of our spouse's heart.
Integrating agape into our marriages doesn't mean simply doing kind things for our better halves when and if we feel so inspired. It doesn't mean blessing them only in ways that are pleasing to us. If we are open to true love's promptings, agape will bring out our curiosity, so that we may come to know our spouse more intimately. It will teach us to be vigilant, so that we may become sensitive to the little signals that alert us when he have a need that is not being met. Most importantly, it will give us the strength to embrace supernatural self-giving, so that, in total surrender, we may make a complete gift of ourselves to our beloved.
For my part, I desired words of encouragement, affection, attentive listening, and yes, five-dollar cups of coffee. Assuming my husband would want the same, it took me years to realize that all he really yearned for was a piece of pecan pie. Pecan pie is his "love language". Pecan pie served with coffee, two sugars and a splash of cream.

Cristina Marconi, freelance journalist, Cristina Marconi is an Italian freelance journalist and former fellow at the Reuters Institute for the Study of Journalism in Oxford. She spent six years in Brussels as a correspondent for Italian media and, before that, she worked in Rome as a financial reporter for a newswire. A graduate in Philosophy at the Scuola Normale Superiore in Pisa, she is currently based in London and is working on two projects on the European Union: a research on the press coverage of the debt crisis and a documentary about the future of the EU.
When it comes to freedom of the press, Italy ranks 57th in the world, according to Reporters sans Frontières. Yet Italian citizens have access to many respected national newspapers, several TV channels, a lively scene of information websites, a multiplicity of newswires and radios, and, possibly, more political talk shows than most other countries. How can such a situation be considered as being only 'partly free'? With a media tycoon having run the country for the majority of the last 20 years, Italian journalism has seen its reputation dragged through the mire. Will it be restored now that Berlusconi's power is declining? How is the country's media landscape coping with the ongoing hard economic crisis? Tracing an history of journalism it Italy and analysing the way reporters currently operate, the two speakers will try to give an answer to these questions.

How to visualize a JSON feed
To make a JSON feed visible, it's most common to use an online JSON visualizer tool. The software programmer simply has to paste the JSON data string in the tool. The tool then reads the JSON structure and displays it in a structure that's understandable for us, also the arrays and objects.
An example of such a tool is jsonvisualizer.com where you can paste the JSON string and immediately visualize it.
