Flying for Thanksgiving? Here's 11 things not to do on the plane
Thanksgiving is a stressful time as it is, but it's especially stressful for those of us who have to fly for the holidays. Luckily, alleviating some of that anxiety is easier than we think.
Here are a few tips for things you shouldn't do while on the plane — to make the experience better for you, the flight crew and your fellow passengers.
Don't drink the water (or ice, or coffee or tea)
As a flight attendant once told Business Insider, "Flight attendants will not drink hot water on the plane. They will not drink plain coffee and they will not drink plain tea."
In an Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) study, one in every eight planes failed water safety standards, according to the article. It should be noted that many airlines dispute these results — but the issue has raised concerns in the past. A 2004 EPA study tested the water supply of 158 aircraft, of which 20 tested positive for total coliform bacteria and two tested positive for E. coli as well.
If you're concerned, stick to bottled water and skip the ice if it is made from tap water.
Think twice before ordering a Diet Coke
On a flight attendant's blog called These Gold Wings, a post from 2013 explains that pouring Diet Coke takes longer than other beverages while in the air. Soft drinks foam up a bit more due to cabin pressure, and Diet Coke is apparently the worst, so flight attendants must take extra care when pouring the beverage.
The blogger claimed that if passengers request Diet Coke, she will gladly get the orders started — but while waiting for the foam to dissipate, she'll take AND serve three other drink orders before coming back to finish pouring the Cokes.
Put some shoes on
In a piece earlier this year, Men's Health talked with two flight attendants for their secrets on flying. One attendant asserted, "Don't walk around without shoes. Every bodily fluid has been on the floor." The two also said that flight attendants accept and appreciate tips.
Avoid sitting the entire flight
As tempting as it might be to sit in your seat and watch movies the whole flight, doing so might not be great for your health. Aaron Aday, M.D., a cardiology fellow at Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston, told Condé Nast Traveler that sitting in a small airplane seat can make blood circulation from your legs to your heart more difficult.
To minimize the risk of blood pooling in your legs and causing deep vein thrombosis, there are some preventative measures you can take. Try to stretch your legs during the flight, even while sitting, and also try to get up and walk around about once an hour.
Lay off the alcohol
Drinking while in the air can actually make you feel more intoxicated as there's less oxygen than if you were on the ground, Thrillist reports. Further, drinking too much might get you arrested, prevent you from boarding your connecting flight, ruin the rest of your prospects for the day, and leave your fellow passengers hating you, among other consequences.
Don't eat directly off of the tray table
According to a 2015 Condé Nast Traveler article, which cited TravelMath.com's breakdown of a National Science Foundation study, tray tables are home to nearly 10 times more bacteria than the flush button in the lavatory. Safe to say you should pack some hand wipes to use before digging into your meal.
Ease up on the soda
Carbonated beverages can cause bloating and cramping, two things you don't want to endure during your flight, according to a SmarterTravel article outlining the foods to avoid while flying. Also on the list: foods high in sodium and saturated fats, which can be difficult to digest, as well as foods like onions, beans and cauliflower, which can leave you bloated and gassy.
Not starving? Maybe skip the airline food
According to a Refinery29 interview, celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay refuses to eat on planes: "I worked for airlines for 10 years, so I know where this food's been and where it goes and how long it took before it got on board." Instead, he prefers to eat something in the airport prior to takeoff.
There is also the train of thought that not eating at all might help reduce jet lag, according to The New York Times. The body's natural circadian clock regulates when we eat, sleep and wake up, all based on light. Researchers found, however, that a second clock may take over when food is low, and manipulating such clock might help travelers adjust to new time zones. Dr. Clifford Saper of Harvard Medical School, whose study examined this idea, said that 16 hours without food is enough to engage this new clock. The tests were performed on genetically engineered mice, so it's not certain whether this works for humans.
Keep your feet and hair to yourself
This is self-explanatory. Don't do it.
Have some carry-on courtesy
Placing your jacket, carry-on and personal items in the overhead bin? Be sure to grab your snacks and phone chargers first, lest you needlessly displace your seatmates midway through the flight. SmarterTravel also suggests placing your items in a bin as close to your seat as possible to make disembarking the plane easier for everyone.
Don't be rude to your flight attendants
Very simply, be nice. Most times flight attendants are trying their best, and they won't always have the answer. Plus, they deal with disgruntled customers all day, so your efforts could truly make a difference.

School Improvement: Issues and Answers.
Willis, Harriet Doss
This speech addresses school improvement issues from three perspectives. First, six shared assumptions from the recent studies and reports on the quality of American schooling are presented: (1) that the educational system must be immediately improved; (2) that quality and equity are inseparable; (3) that education is inextricably linked to larger social issues; (4) that the state, local, and federal government have important roles; (5) that schools, the private sector, and parents must work together; and (6) that control of the educational system should be decentralized. Following this, common recommendations are listed pertaining to curriculum, teachers, and management of schools. Next, views are presented on the positive influence that schools have had since 1950, including the increase in use of advanced placement tests, the increase in percentage graduating and going on to college, and the corresponding decrease in dropout rate, as well as the increase in minimum competency requirements. Change strategies in the areas of overall school improvement and academic learning time are summarized, and finally, a series of open-ended questions are posed for deliberation during the workshop.

THE biggest prize in European club football is up for grabs on Saturday night and bet365 are celebrating the occasion by rolling out their popular £50 risk-free in-play bet offer.
The Champions League Final in Berlin is a match not be missed as superpowers Barcelona and Juventus both bid to complete the treble.
To qualify for your risk-free in-play Bet365 bet, simply place a bet of up to £50 before kick-off. Then once the game starts place another bet – of the same stake – on any in-play market. If your FIRST in-play bet loses Bet365 will refund this stake up to the same value as your largest pre-match bet (max £50).
You can try to do a low-risk pre-match bet and take a chance on the in-play – or do bets that guarantee profit. It's up to you – but make sure you check the rules before having a bet.
My preference is to place a £50 pre-match bet on over 0.5 match goals at odds of around 1-20. I also cover the 0-0 draw with a bet of around £4.50 at 11-1 at another bookie. When doing this, bet on the 'no scorer' market rather than a 0-0 draw so you get paid if the only goal is an OG.
So for a maximum total spend of around £2 you are then covered to use your risk-free £50 inplay bet to try to win big, eg on a first or anytime scorer or correct score.
There are lots of other strategies so share yours here and full T & C's can be found at bet365 by simply clicking the banner at the top of this page.
This bet365 offer is available to all customers with the exception of the following:
Armenia, Belarus, Croatia, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Latvia, Lithuania, Macedonia, Moldova, Russia, Serbia, Slovenia, Ukraine, Uzbekistan, Vietnam, Australia, Italy and Romania.

Important Things to Observe When Your Vehicle Breaks Down
There's nothing more frustrating and dangerous than experiencing a vehicle breakdown in the middle of a congested road. The situation is much worse when you have young passengers with you. This unfortunate incident can happen even to those who are driving well-kept vehicles.
Industry professional CountiesTowing.co.nz notes that a car breakdown can turn ugly. If you think it will not happen to you, think again. It is always better to be prepared for any devastating accident. This article lists down the things you need to remember if you find yourself in such a situation.
Get the Car off the Road
The risk of a major accident goes up if your vehicle gets stuck in the middle of the road, especially if you're on a busy highway. The first thing you need to do is to move your car off the road. Make sure you and your passengers are in a safe location. In most cases, vehicles encountering this problem do not stop abruptly, which means you may still have enough time to pull over.
If your vehicle stops entirely, just stay calm and switch on the safety or emergency flashers. Do not attempt to get out of the car if traffic is heavy, particularly when there are fast moving vehicles. Instead, wait for traffic or law enforcement officers to assist you.
Let Other Drivers Know
Once you have moved your vehicle to a safe place, the next step you should take is to alert other drivers of your situation. Emergency flashers are important, especially during night-time and harsh weather conditions. An early warning device placed behind your vehicle will be of big help to oncoming cars. Another way to get someone's attention is raise a bright-coloured cloth on the antennae or any other place that is visible on your vehicle.
Call for Immediate Assistance
With you and the passengers in a safe place, it's now time to call for assistance. It's advisable to contact a car towing company for speedy response. For minor problems, such as busted hoses or broken belts, you can repair them yourself. If the trouble seems serious, however, it may be best to get some professional help.
Never fear being stranded on the road again. By knowing what to do, you can turn a stressful situation into a great lesson.

Post-Newtonian parameters in the tensor-vector-scalar theory - General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology
Post-Newtonian parameters in the tensor-vector-scalar theory - General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology - Descarga este documento en PDF. Documentación en PDF para descargar gratis. Disponible también para leer online.
Abstract: We investigate post-Newtonian parameters in the tensor-vector-scalar TeVeStheory in a general setting while previous researches have been restricted tospherically symmetric cases. Based on the assumption that both the physical andEinstein metrics have Minkowski metric at the zeroth order, we show $\gamma =1$as in the previous researches. We find two remarkable things for otherparameters. The first is the value $\beta =1$ while it has been reported that$\beta eq 1$ for the case when the vector field is not purely timelike. Thisdiscrepancy occurs from the above assumption which is natural as a startingpoint. The second is the result that the Newtonian potential must be static tobe consistent with the vector equation. As a result, we cannot determine$\alpha {1}$ and $\alpha {2}$. We consider that it is related to theinstability against linear perturbation and occurrence of caustic singularitiesfor various initial perturbations which have been reported recently.

Social Skills Group
The Behaviour Change Clinic presents……"LET'S PLAY!"
Let's Play! is a social skills group for children with autism and other related disabilities. The purpose of the group is to teach children to:
- Communicate with one another
- Gain joint attention skills
- Learn to share
- Learn to turn take and role play with others
- Engage in conversation with peers
- Learn social rules and social understanding
Data is collected during each session and parents are presented with graphs and a report summarizing their child's progress at the end of each 6 week course.
All children joining Let's Play! must be able to:
- 1. Follow instructions from an adult without engaging in disruptive behaviour
- 2. Tolerate being near other children
- 3. Be able to make basic requests using vocals, signs, or PECS
Description of Classes
Each class is 90 minutes long, and children can attend either once or twice per week. Classes will have space for three children and two typically developing peers*. Each course will run for 6 weeks**. Both classes will run during after-school hours (from 4pm) during term time only.
*Note that typically developing peers are not always available and will therefore not necessarily be present at every session.
**Term time only, which will mean some sessions are fewer weeks. Shorter sessions will be charged at a pro-rated rate.
Social Caterpillars (ages 3-6 years):
- Social caterpillars is specifically designed for younger children. Staff to child ratios in this class are 1:2. Targets for this age level include: sharing, turn taking, responding to group instructions, role play, and other targets specifically written to the needs of your child.
Social Butterflies (ages 7-12 years):
- Social butterflies is specifically designed for slightly older, school age children. Staff to child ratios in this class are 1:3. Targets for this age group include: sharing, turn taking, following 2 step instructions, recalling past events, and other targets specifically written to the needs of your child.
Each child joining Let's Play! for the first time will receive a social skills assessment during their first one to two sessions. During this assessment, we will observe your child and write his/her targets for the course. The assessment is charged at the normal class rate.
*Cost, Timetable, and Venues
Per session: £10 per child (£60 for 6 weeks payable prior to the start of the course. NO REFUNDS for missed sessions.)
*Siblings (Neuro-typical): Free
*Siblings will also be required to attend a short interview.
Timetable and Venue
Current Classes: TBD
In an effort to save parents money, we have decided not to hold social skills groups within paid venues. Instead, we will run small groups out of clients' homes on days suitable for you and your child. It would be most beneficial to contact us if you know a couple of parents whose children are within the same age range as yours and one of you is willing to host the group in your home. The Behaviour Change Clinic will provide the staff and materials, including data collection and activities…you just provide your home! An additional benefit of holding classes in your own home is having the chance to meet other parents with a child who live close to you, who you can build a strong support network with.
You can join a group at any time, and sessions will be pro-rated. In addition, if you are interested in starting a group in your area please email us at email@example.com

Sounds like a good read. I've enjoyed watching the BBC series "The Man Who Cycled The World" and "The Man Who Cycled The Americas", and this would give an interesting contrast. Another time with different politics, infrastructure, and dangers.ReplyDelete
I call dibs when the book's available.
It does sound like a good read. I would also like to see what others have to say about the pro peleton, other than Lance (as much as I enjoyed his books). It would be good to read something by someone like Hincapie, or someone else either high up, or even in the domestique ranks to get a different perspective.ReplyDelete
One I probably wouldn't wanna read is anything by Floyd, hate to say it. Who could believe it anyway? Before all the revelations about him, he'd have been first on my list...
As a side note, I find it encouraging how openly Duece admits to the fact that it was merely the ongoing success of Lance that made it no longer "ok" to admire him beyond the early years - good steps made in self-awareness, I'd say...
Patti Smith's memoir is pretty awesome.ReplyDelete
It's not a cycling book. But there are almost as many homoerotic references as there are on a bike ride with the Impaler, so it kind of fits.ReplyDelete
This comment has been removed by the author.ReplyDelete
I liked "Inside the Postal Bus" by Michael Barry, and have been eyeing his new one, "Le Metier". Also loved "The Rider" by Tim Krabbe. It's a classic. If you liked "It's not about the Bike" you'll like "Lance Armstrong's War", which is less about Lance than the title suggests. Great descriptions of life inside the pro scene. Oh, and don't forget Bike Snob NYC's book. As funny and caustic as one would expect.ReplyDelete
I lent a book to a Librarian friend once... never got it back!ReplyDelete
I read "Le Tour" by Geoffrey Wheatcroft last year (the library has it). It's big (400 pages or something) but it's an easy read. If you are a fan of the tour de france, it's pretty awesome - it is an (at times, year by year) account of the history of the race, including all the myths (most of which are true) such as the fellow being penalized for outside support for having a farm hand work the bellows while he brazed his bike back to together; or the spreading of tacks and glass on the road to slow opponents.ReplyDelete
Great article though - I hadn't heard of many (most?) of those books. My summer reading list just got a little more full.
I've read a portion of "A Dog in a Hat" - #30 - and it seemed kind of interesting. I think Mike G owns it.ReplyDelete
"Bad Blood' looks interesting by Whittle. #19.

Div.7 award winners
Early Career Research Grant
Natalie Hiromi Brito and Kathleen Carriveau are the recipients of the 2014 Early Career Research Grants. Brito is a postdoctoral research fellow with the Robert Wood Johnson Health and Society Scholars program at Columbia University. She earned her PhD from Georgetown in 2013 and her MA from the College of William and Mary. Her research focuses on bilingualism and cognitive development. Carriveau's research will be featured in the next newsletter.
Dissertation Award
The recipient of the 2014 Dissertation Award is Larisa Heiphetz. Her dissertation focused on changes in children's reasoning about others' religious beliefs and how religious groups influenced social preference. Her findings contribute to growing literatures on religious and social cognition, theory of mind and intergroup relations, areas of research that have not, until Heiphetz 's work, integrated developmental models into existing theories. Heiphetz received her PhD in 2013 from Harvard University and is currently a postdoctoral fellow at Boston College.
Early Career Outstanding Paper Award
The 2014 winner for the Early Career Outstanding Paper Award is Kathryn Monohan, who is an assistant professor in the Department of Psychology at the University of Pittsburgh. Her research focuses on adolescent psychosocial development, developmental psychopathology, risk and resilience, peer relationships, juvenile justice and the implications of developmental research for legal and social policy and prevention science.

Tango and Jazz
On a slight tangent, we were fortunate enough to actually see Branford Marsalis, an amazing jazz saxophonist live the other week and one of the pieces played was called 'The Blossom of Parting'. It was a fabulous ballad written by his pianist, Joey Calderazzo and while I was listening to it, I could completely imagine myself dancing tango to it. I have found a recording of it on youtube but the images (of Russia, I believe) have no relevance! but I just wanted to share its wonderful lyricism.
2 comments:
You could try Hugo Diaz' harmonica tangos. Paul plays them occasionally at the Crypt, I don't know of anyone else who does. For contemporary harmonica tango, there's Joe Powers. Or some jazz fans enjoy Piazzolla - have a look for his stuff on YouTube as classical musicians often do it too.ReplyDelete
Nice blog! I saw Joe Powers in San Francisco recently. I am the boyfriend of a very good tango dancer/instructor. I'm just beginning to learn and am trying to aid my discovery with my passion for jazz. In particular, it seems much of the early tango was being recorded at the same time as early jazz was being recorded, and I hear similar orchestration and riffs that seem to be representative of the zeitgeist of the time. Anything you've found helpful to make the connection between jazz and tango is appreciated!ReplyDelete

Industries in the Transit and Ground Passenger Transportation subsector include a variety of passenger transportation activities,such as urban transit systems; chartered bus, school bus, and interurban bus transportation; and taxis. These activities are distinguished based primarily on such production process factors as vehicle types, routes, and schedules. In this subsector, the principal splits identify scheduled transportation as separate from nonscheduled transportation. The scheduled transportation industry groups are Urban Transit Systems, Interurban and Rural Bus Transportation, and School and Employee Bus Transportation. The nonscheduled industry groups are the Charter Bus Industry and Taxi and Limousine Service. The Other Transit and Ground Passenger Transportation Industry group includes both scheduled and nonscheduled transportation. Scenic and sightseeing ground transportation services are not included in this subsector but are included in Subsector 487, Scenic and Sightseeing Transportation. Sightseeing does not usually involve place-to-place transportation; the passenger's trip starts and ends at the same location.

Higher education faces a critical impact in the midst of a projected enrollment surge of at least 15% of internet delivered college classes for the decade between 2010 and 2020 (Dykman & Davis, 2008a). Yet, there is a documented increase in incidence of student withdrawals and lower retention rates from undergraduate students enrolled in undergraduate online courses due to limited or reduced motivation when compared with those enrolled in the comparable traditional, face-to-face courses (Braude & Merrill, 2013; Gaytan, 2009). Hart (2014) found a 10% to 20% reduction in student persistence among the students enrolled in online courses when compared with their counterparts enrolled in the same class delivered in a traditional classroom format.
Persistence and retention rates of courses taught within community colleges have received much scrutiny by funding entities and have become a focus in the recently revised formula funding process within the state of Texas (Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board, 2012a). Consequently, measures of completion have become a vital concern for academic administrators (Atchley, Wingenbach, & Akers, 2013). Conscientious deliberations to assure no adverse effect upon course completion, academic performance, and retention rates have accompanied the addition of an online instructional mode of delivery (Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board, 2012a).
Online courses, as defined by Allen and Seaman (2011) are those in which a minimum of 80% of the content is presented and delivered in an online format. Furthermore, the conventional face-to-face courses are those in which zero to 29% of the content and instruction is delivered online (Allen & Seaman, 2011, 2014). While the intent of both instructional modes of delivery is to provide instruction and subsequently evaluate the performance of students, student attention, learning, and performance in both formats vary. Course completion results when a student persists through the entire duration of the online gateway course of history, psychology, sociology, or English and is assigned a grade of A, B, C, D, or F. (Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board, 2012bAcademic performance is generally measured by the final grade earned in the course (Atchley, Wingenbach, & Ackers, 2013). Retention is the intent to return to college to continue a program of study (Hart, 2014).
This explanatory correlational research investigated the relationship between individual attributes of online students enrolled in one gateway, introductory course and their subsequent likelihood to successfully complete courses with passing grades in their college career. After completing the SmarterMeasure™ online learning readiness indicator, students were advised of their strengths and weaknesses in the following measures: academic attributes, help seeking behaviors, persistence, procrastination, time management, and locus of control. Information on available institutional resources provided students personal guidance and direction for improving identified weaknesses. The purpose of this correlational study was to test if there was a relationship between scores on each measure of the Individual Attributes subscale of the SmarterMeasure™ learning readiness indicator and subsequent academic performance in first semester students enrolled in online courses at a mid-sized, rural community college in East Texas.
SmarterMeasure™: SmarterMeasure™ is an internet based assessment designed to ascertain a student's inclination to succeed in an online, hybrid, or technology rich course. It revolves around identifying habits and attitudes commonly related to a student's readiness and endurance for achieving and persisting in online college courses.
Academic Performance: Academic performance is measured by the final grade earned in the course.
Online Course: A course in which a minimum of 80% of the content is presented and delivered in an online format.
Self-Efficacy: Self-efficacy is the degree of an individual's belief in their own abilities and an integral element of Bandura's (2001) social cognitive theory that has been credited with its direct connection to influencing behavior regardless of the perceived obstacles.
Face-to-Face Course: A course in which zero to 29% of the content and instruction is delivered online.
Distance Education: Distance education employs electronic means that allow students and learners to receive instruction from a location apart from the instructor, specifically separated by both location and time.
Course Completion: Course completion results when a student persists through the entire duration of the online gateway course of history, psychology, sociology, or English and is assigned a grade of A, B, C, or D.
Retention: Retention is the process by which students in higher education acquire an institutional fit, exhibit loyalty, and remain enrolled until graduation.
Persistence: Persistence is the intent to return to return to college to continue a program of study.

We are honoured to have received an unexpected letter of gratitude from Diane Embry, CEO of Uniting Care South Port.
In the letter Diane says "We are writing to extend our heartfelt thanks to you for your recent donation of fresh produce from your Urban Garden Foodwall on Bay Street. Your generosity enables us to provide fresh produce to those people in our community who are socially isolated, financially disadvantaged and perhaps experiencing homelessness as well."
The Biofilta team are so pleased to know that the food that we regularly harvest and weigh from the Bay Street Urban Garden Espresso Bar Foodwall is being utilised in the best possible way.
We look forward to further supporting Uniting Care with future harvests.

Volume 18 will focus on philosophical questions tied to Truth and Knowledge.
We invite contributions on a wide range of questions and issues
Some seed questions to consider:
Is truth possible?
Are there degrees of truth and if yes, what does that mean ?
How do we know? What can we know? Describe what you know about… [give examples]
How does opinion differ from belief and from knowledge?
How can we determine real news from fake news?
What role does authority or expert status play in claims to know?
What is the difference between opinion and knowledge?
What does truth mean in: art, science, religion, everyday life?
What is an idea? A perception? A concept?
Does truth matter?
If there is no truth, how do we determine what to believe?
Philosophical inspirations:
- Rene Descartes' challenge: is everything a dream?
- David Hume's challenge: how are ideas related?
- Plato's challenge: How are abstract ideas true while perceptions are not?
- Wittgenstein's challenge: how does language work to mirror the world?
- Merleau-Ponty's challenge: How does perception construct truths?
For those unfamiliar with past issues, Questions features short articles, discussions, drawings, critiques, poetry, and other writings by philosophy students of all ages. The journal is published annually by the Philosophy Documentation Center. It is our goal to engage children in advanced philosophical thinking through related and common works of art. All our issues are comprised of unsolicited submissions from educators and students, as well as the prize winning essays from PLATO contests. As part of our anonymous review selection, we consider all submissions for correctness, accuracy and quality of thought for the writer's age. Questions is always accepting submissions to feature in our next issue.
Questions is looking for a variety of content written by a various age groups in order to document different phases of philosophical inquiry. Questions accepts the following forms of content:
- Short Articles
- Discussions
- Drawings
- Critiques
- Poetry
- Lesson Plans
- Children's Classroom Experiences/ Reactions to Philosophy
- Book reviews

Mumbai: Aditya Seal stars in Anubhav Sinha-directed "Tum Bin 2" and the actor says the film has a different kind of romance, which is very real.
The film is the sequel to the 2001 romantic drama of the same name. Produced by Bhushan Kumar under the T-Series banner, the movie stars Aditya, Neha Sharma and Aashim Gulati.
"The kind of romance that we have dealt in our film is real. The real love is dying away in today's time which is unfortunate. It (love) is corrupted a bit today," Aditya said.
"Romance is best expressed through eyes. It's all about connecting through emotions and we have shown this aspect of love in the film. Its pure love," he added.
At a time when filmmakers often play around with intimate scenes to grab eyeballs, Aditya says in his upcoming movie they haven't glamorised kissing and made a conscious decision to stay away from marketing this particular aspect.
"The intimacy part would have killed the film. It was a conscious decision to not sell that (intimacy) part of the film. Kissing is not glamorised in our film. It's required in the film and hence we have put in (kissing)." The film is slated to release on November 18.

Notices for 5th January 2004 to 6th February 2004
Monday, 5th January 2004
Hm, not much going on around here these days – still, Quick Calendar 2.0.4 is now up, fixing a couple of silly little bugs. More significant, though, is the Mac OS X version. It is just a quick Carbon recompile, with no concessions to Mac OS X's appearance or ways of working, but at least it exists.
Oh yeah – a shout out to Supergoo, whose site should be appearing soon at goo.telcontar.net (being moved from Angelfire to escape their appalling ad system). And for that matter, I never gave a shout out to Shinaku, who has had a site on Telcontar.net for a little while now.
Saturday, 17th January 2004
I have added a new entry to the FAQ – some speech clips demonstrating how my Internet handles are pronounced (something that has everyone puzzled or just in error).
Friday, 6th February 2004
Hm, seems my site is quietening down a bit these days. However, there is good news! HTTP Werkzeug 1.2b1 is now released (with thanks to silvestrij, Chris and Air for help with the Win32 and Mac OS X versions). The most important feature of 1.2 is HTTP POST support – something which has been sorely missing from the program for some time now. However, there are plenty more changes too, so go take a look. The one thing left that needs doing, really, is a proper facility for working with cookies, but that will have to wait.
What I am still holding out a little bit of hope for, though, is for someone to port the program properly to Windows and Mac OS X. The Windows version isn't too bad, seeing as I have put a lot of time into making it work reasonably well, but until now, the Mac OS X version hasn't even worked at all. I don't have the time, though, to polish the Mac OS X version, so you will have to take it as it is. But please, if anyone is willing to take on the task of constructing a decent Windows or Mac OS X version, I would be very grateful (as long as you do it well ;)
Next up, though, should be the next release of Internet Startup – it is not that far off now. And then following that, I will sort out getting Horizon Converter to deal with BBC Micro disc images (something I have been inexcusably putting off for far, far too long now). So stand by for some more goodies (OK, no need to actually hold your breath, given my record for expedience…)

(This is a shorter version of a longer extemporaneous sermon, given on Sunday, Feb 25, 2017.)
The last Sunday in the season of Epiphany (which lasts from end of Christmas to Lent) always recounts the "Transfiguration of the Lord". This event is when Jesus takes three of his disciples, Peter, James and John, up on a mountain, and he is transformed in front of them. His clothes turn dazzling white, his face shines like the sun, and God's voice from the clouds declares, "This is my Son, in whom I am well-pleased. Listen to him." It's a picture of the Glory of Christ, but before the end of time. Another way of saying it is, Jesus as he is in the permanent glory of heaven. It's a text picture of who Jesus really is, and a premonition of what we all become in Him (glorified).
As a picture of God's glory, we must ask how this confronts human ideas of glory. Human glory always involves a vanquished foe. It usually entails a lifting up, a release of some liquid, and a parade (not necessarily in that order). Think of the victorious race car driver who jumps up on the roof of his car, pumps his fist in the air, shakes a big bottle of champaign all over everyone, and then drives a victory lap with the checkered flag in hand. Or the victorious coach or star player, who is lifted up on the shoulders of his team, dowsed with Gatorade, and given a ticker-tape parade in the home city. All at the cost of some vanquished foe. Someone's got to lose, to be sacrificed. Human glory is what we seek, but God is not to be found in it, but under the form of its opposite.
God's glory, even though it is previewed here in Jesus' transfiguration, is the undermining of human glory. Jesus, who is glorious in his essence, puts aside the "glorious" kind of glory—the light, the sun, the majestic voice— in order to go back into the human world, and then is lifted up in shame on an instrument of imperial execution. Jesus, who is worthy of permanent viewing in heaven, is paraded around Jerusalem carrying his own cross, with a crown of thorns on his head. He who is the source of life is mocked, derided, spit upon, and as he hangs on that cross, he is stabbed, and his body emits blood and water, a liquid ablution of ironic victory. And the foe who has been vanquished is—surprise!—not the devil, but Jesus himself. God becomes the victim, who submits himself to our human derision and rejection. In Jesus' crucifixion, God takes human glory and flips it on its head, "working under the form of the opposite", as Luther would say.
Here's the Gospel message in this puzzling switch. God takes our desire for glory, our fascination with glory, our attachment to glory, and dismantles it on the cross. God becomes our victim in order to save us from ourselves. You and I want glory for ourselves, or to participate in glorious endeavors, or to see human glory embodied in other people or events. We want glory in our institutions, our nation, our politics (and I mean that in a truly bi-partisan way). Short of that, we'll settle for it in our hometown sports team, and our kid's little league team. But to win us over, to convert us from our thirst for glory, we must be overcome by God. This cannot be done by God's glory (which would overwhelm us as we are), but we must be humbled to accept the love of God revealed in Jesus' shame. Our hearts must break upon the rock of Jesus' shame. Jesus' presence then becomes visible to us in the humbled and the shame-filled. In that experience, God is truly present. Then, and only after this, and in the fullness of time, will all who have ever lived be in a position to embrace, let alone endure, the full, eternal, glory of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit, forever and ever. Amen.

The statistic is astounding. More than 40 percent of women in the United States are now obese and the rise in the growth in that percentage has made uterine or endometrial cancer the fastest growing cancer among women in the United States.
"The number one culprit behind the rise in incidence of uterine cancer is obesity," says Dr. Molly Brewer, chair of the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology who also oversees UConn Health's new Women's Center. "Research data shows as the prevalence of obesity has risen over the past few decades so has the rate of endometrial cancer as well as the mortality from this cancer."
Obesity is carrying extra body fat leading to body mass index (BMI) calculation of 30 or greater. A normal or healthy weight has a BMI below 25 while being overweight ranges from 25 to 29. In addition, if a woman has a waist circumference that is more than 35 inches it signals she may be carrying extra belly fat, placing her health at risk. Free and easy-to-use online self BMI calculators are available by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and other organizations.
Excess fat tissue can lead to higher levels of the hormone estrogen in the body which research has associated with various women's cancers. Obesity is also linked with an increased risk of breast and colon cancers in women. Also, a sedentary lifestyle and not exercising causes a buildup in the body of the stress hormone known as cortisol which can lead to chronic inflammation.
According to the National Cancer Institute, compared to their healthy weight peers, overweight women are up to four times more likely and obese women up to ten times more to develop uterine cancer, when malignant cancer cells grow in the lining of the uterus known as the endometrium. For those who are very obese their risk is thirty times more likely. Obese women used to develop early stage Grade I cancers that were curable with surgery alone but we are now seeing more high grade metastatic endometrial cancers in very obese women that require more extensive treatment to cure.
While it may be more widely known that obesity makes women at higher risk for developing heart disease, stroke and diabetes, many females may still not realize it also increases their risk of developing cancer of the uterus, says Brewer.
In addition to obesity, other uterine cancer risk factors may include: not childbearing; starting your menstrual period at a very young age or going through menopause later than expected; having taken estrogen therapy or hormone replacement therapy; and a family history of the cancer.
According to Brewer, an annual OB/GYN screening and alerting your doctor of any worrisome symptoms is critical to maintaining your health and catching cancers such as uterine cancer as early as possible.
"If there is something going on with you we want to pick it up early," says Brewer. "The earlier the better so we can treat it and cure it. If a women is not seen on routine basis by her OB/GYN, a cancer may not be picked up early and may become more difficult to treat or put her life at risk."
Compared to other cancers uterine cancer is fairly common. In fact, endometrial cancer makes the top 10 list of the most common cancers among men and women. In 2017, the National Cancer Institute estimates that more than 61,000 new cases will be diagnosed and nearly 11,000 women will die from the disease. If caught early the five year survival from the disease is 95 percent. But if caught at later stages after it has spread the five year survival rate can drop down significantly to 68 percent or lower.
So how can you reduce your chances of developing uterine cancer?
"Interestingly, very similar to preventing heart disease, women need to stay vigilant in their maintaining of a daily healthy lifestyle," says Brewer. "Daily exercise and a good diet is really key. The number one thing I tell my patients to do is exercise daily to maintain their current and long term health."

The adrenaline-releasing sympathetic nervous system somehow links injured pain nerves with non-injured ones. Stimulation of this nervous system, such as temperature change, also seems to trigger the pain.
Undamaged nerves not only become active, but also respond to adrenaline. They may also become sensitive to stimuli such as pressure.
This condition was first described by S. Weir Mitchell, M.D., a 19th century neurologist, in his 1872 book,
"Injuries of Nerves and Their Consequences,"
which documented cases of Civil War veterans who had sustained injuries which resulted in "the most terrible of all the tortures which a nerve wound may inflict." Mitchell called the condition causalgia.
He described it thus:
"Under such torments, the temper changes, the most amiable grow irritable, the soldier becomes a coward, and the strongest man is scarcely less nervous than the most hysterical girl." One of his patients described the burning pain as a "red-hot file rasping the skin."
In many, pain was associated with a strange glossiness in the skin.
"The burning comes first, the visible skin-change afterwards,"
Mitchell reported.
"Of the special cause which provokes it, we know nothing, except that it has sometimes followed the transfer of pathological changes from a wounded nerve to unwounded nerves, and has then been felt in their distribution, so that we do not need a direct wound to bring it about."
Mitchell noted that
"The part itself is not alone subject to an intense burning sensation, but becomes exquisitely hyperaesthetic, so that a touch or a tap of the finger increases the pain."
Patients took obsessive lengths to avoid exposing the area to the air, Mitchell wrote.
"Most of the bad cases keep the hand constantly wet, finding relief in the moisture rather than in the coolness of the application."
Mitchell remarked on the way in which the pain took its toll.
"As the pain increases, the general sympathy becomes more marked. The temper changes and grows irritable, the face becomes anxious, and has a look of weariness and suffering.
The sleep is restless, and the constitutional condition, reacting on the wounded limb, exasperates the hyperaesthetic state, so that the rattling of a newspaper, a breath of air...the vibrations caused by a military band, or the shock of the feet in walking, gives rise to increase of pain.
At last...the patient walks carefully, carries the limb with the sound hand, is tremulous, nervous, and has all kinds of expedients for lessening his pain."
