Here's a brief rundown of poems I've posted since the last update in May:
The Fib Review (edited by Mary-Jane Grandinetti, who is also editor of Shot Glass Journal) is a zine devoted not to minor mendacities but to the fib, a form based on the Fibonacci sequence. I had 3 poems in issue #10: "The mailman cometh", "Gift of gab", and "Make your cooking colorful". (I can't the links to work; see "Index to published poems" at right.)
Curio Poetry is a fairly new zine, specializing in "poetry that explores the world at a micro-level: tiny spaces, instants, individual objects, scraps of dreams and memories, et cetera." Issue #3 contains 3 of mine: Summer libation; The sinister spoon; Floaters.
The December issue of Danse Macabre had my cranky holiday poem, "'Tis the season" - I'll post the link on the sidebar when the archive is available again. Two other poems, Literalness is the Devil's weapon; Visitation, were posted on the auxiliary site, Danse Macabre du Jour.
On New Verse News, see my double dactyl Laissez-faire (June 12, 2011) and Sonnenizio on a line by Edward Thomas (March 5, 2012).
The latter is the first poem I've written since last June; time to get in gear for National Poetry Writing Month in April!

Hi Esther! I enjoyed your newest book, but didn't make it to the book signing. Maybe someday you and I and the book will be in the same room and I can get your signature? Now I'll check these out this month. I plan to try the April challenge this year. I am finally retired, so I think I can manage it. I am one week into this new freedom, though, and I can't imagine how I had time to go to work! Holding you in the light, Friend.

Can Sir Alex better Mourinho again?
With a 15-point lead and just nine games to go, Manchester United have all but wrapped up this year's Barclays Premier League title. Now, the attention shifts to a different kind of victory – one that Sir Alex would want to have over his past rival Jose Mourinho.
Mourinho's Chelsea won the Premier League in the 2004/05 season with a record 95 points – the most points ever accrued by a team over a single Premier League season. With 74 points in 29 games this season, Manchester United need 22 points from their last 9 games to re-write the record books. This amounts to seven wins, a draw and a loss – tall order for any team, but United haven't been just 'any team' this season.
With clean sheets in their past five matches and an unbeaten run of 17 matches (15 wins, 2 draws), United are in form, to say the least. There is nothing to suggest they won't carry this form into the run-in. With the manager and players stressing on the fact that the league hasn't been won yet, it can be expected that United will give their best right down to the last match. In fact, in a recent interview, Sir Alex has stressed on the fact that the record is something he wants to beat.
Can they do it? Can the master outdo the prodigy again? Here are some predictions.
1. Sunderland (Away)
Probability of win – 90 %
United first face the Black Cats away in a match just after the international break. With the FA Cup quarter-final replay with Chelsea looming around the corner, Sir Alex will no doubt rest a few key players, but Sunderland have been in terrible form of late (they couldn't win against a 10-man Norwich team with an hour to go), and with a season-ending injury to Steven Fletcher, the future looks bleak for them. United should win this comfortably.
2. Manchester City (Home)
Probability of win – 50 %
In an explosive match at home, United face their noisy neighbours in a game that could seal the title if a few other results go as required. With City's recent loss to 10-man Everton and general lack of form, United will go into this match as heavy favourites. But this Manchester City side has quality within them, and if the City side of last year turn up, it could be a mouth-watering clash. This one is really unpredictable.
3. Stoke City (Away)
Probability of win – 60 %
United next go to what was once the meanest defence in the league, at Stoke. The Potters have also been hit with a wave of poor form – three losses and a draw from their last four, with only a single clean sheet. However, their home form has been good in general, and United will have a tough time breaching the Huth-Shawcross-Begovic wall in front of the Stoke goal. I still tip United to have the firepower to grab a tough win.
4. West Ham United (Away)
Probability of win – 80 %
The Hammers always play brilliantly at Upton Park, which is generally regarded as a difficult place to visit. But with only 2 wins in their past 6 home games, United will be expected to push home a relatively comfortable victory.
5. Aston Villa (Home)
Probability of win – 90 %
At home, United's form this season has been immaculate, with only a loss to Tottenham marring an otherwise perfect home record. The Villans are currently 17th in the league and, with two consecutive wins, have some momentum, but this match will take place three game-weeks later – in this time, they would have entertained Liverpool at home and travelled to Stoke – not enticing fixtures. United should comfortably win this match.
6. Arsenal (Away)
Probability of win – 50 %
Arsenal have been traditionally one of United's classier rivals, but in the topsy-turvy season that they have had, it is just impossible to predict this match. It all depends on which Arsenal show up – the one that plays beautiful football, or the one that sleeps during the first half. It will be a hard-fought game, but I can see United sneaking a win in the dying embers of the match (perhaps by a certain Robin van Persie left-footed strike).
7. Chelsea (Home)
Probability of win – 40 %
Chelsea's side looks so good on paper, it is difficult to imagine that their season hasn't reached the heights it should have. In any case, the Mata-Hazard-Oscar trio with Ba up front is such a good attack that should all of them have a good day, Chelsea can beat United. The controversy surrounding United's trip to Stamford Bridge earlier in the season should provide added intensity to a blockbuster match. Even if United have wrapped up the title, I expect Sir Alex to put out his strongest team for this match – he doesn't like to lose to his rivals. This is one match in which United could be beaten.
8. Swansea City (Home)
Probability of win - 90 %
If all goes according to plan and United have to win their last two to beat the points record, you can expect strong teams for both matches. In such a case, the Swans (who have had an excellent season, winning the Capital One Cup) would be visiting a fortress that has been breached by only Tottenham and (possibly) Chelsea. It is rather difficult to see United slipping up in this one, when they would know that the points record is within their reach.
9. West Bromwich Albion (Away)
Possibility of win - 80 %
Away matches are always tougher than home games, and hence the match away against a Brom side that has been excellent up to this point in the season could be a tough one. However, this being the last match of the League season, one can expect United to give it their all, and win handsomely to seal the deal on a hallmark season.
In short, United have to get 4 points from three fixtures (MCI (H), ARS (A), CHE (H)) and win all others. Should they do this, they would have thoroughly deserved their record.
Interestingly, in the event that United win all 9 of their remaining matches, they would have 101 points, thus beating Real Madrid's record of 100 points in the 2011/12 La Liga! Added incentive, anyone?

This is what comes of hard working parents. This is what comes of a bloodline of conflict. The English, the Irish and The Indian settled along the wilderness of the Hudson River at the dawn of America. This is what comes from being birthed in country music, raised on Rock 'N' Roll, schooled in jazz, blues, joy and pain. This is what comes from the captain of the football team, the left-handed pitcher, the perpetual C student, the Lit major. This is what comes from shooting dope in ghetto alleys, shit jobs, cubicles and florescent lighting. This is what comes from a teacher, a garbageman and a gravedigger who spent too many long nights in jail. This is what comes of not belonging to a political party, a corporation, a label or a clique. This is what comes of being baptized in the spirit of Coltrane, the fury of Mingus, the meditation of Cohen, the righteous indignation of Strummer and Guthrie. This is what comes of Lou Reed and Chuck D hanging on a New York street corner, rapping about unrest, revolution and love. This is what comes of a hundred thousand miles of dark highway and 200 long nights a year in smoky bars, coffee shops, and the living rooms of strangers. This is what comes from listening to stories of the downtrodden, sleeping in back seats, stopping in the small towns, selling one record at a time out of the trunk of an old, beat-up car. This is what comes: Grace and Grit. Heart and Soul. Darkness and Light. Mike June.
- Kristin LaTour, poet, Chicago, IL
"Mike June doesn't pull his punches. At all. His latest release is filled with biting commentary about society, politics and religion. He approaches it with a working-man's perspective, certainly jaded but with a spirit that flirts between combative and cautiously optimistic.
"Big corporations too big to fail, politicians and bankers too rich to jail," he rages on the acoustic rocker "The Darkness," before declaring, "The Darkness has got me but it ain't killed me yet… I'll fight the Darkness."
Later, on the bristling "Fall From Grace," he chronicles a host of political and social woes that range from economic injustice to global conflict. "You can't lead from the darkness into the light with a cross in your left hand and a gun in your right," he cautions as a driving rhythm and beefy guitars give the song extra bite.
"God Gave Up" offers a somber reflection on the terrorism rampant in the world today. "On the seventh day he rested," he sings, "on the eighth day he cried." Yet he maintains hope, concluding:
We could learn to love
Take this broken kingdom
Build it back up
God won't give up on us
We can change it "
Lest anyone think June is all vitriol, he adds a new classic to the baseball canon. "The Baseball Song" pays homage to America's pastime, a colorful tale of a minor leaguer with big dreams. "Biding my time, riding the pine," he explains, "When I get my chance I'm gonna touch them all." He even waxes poetic about the New York teams, to wit: "God bless the New York Yankees, God help the Mets," he sings, "God bless you Louis Armstrong, it ain't over yet." No love for the Red Sox, Mike?
Regardless of whether we agree with June's world view (or favored baseball teams), there's one fact that is indisputable. Poor Man's Bible is a potent rock and roll record."
Mike June
Poor Man's Bible
The Kicking and Screaming Sound of the Suburbs!
I'd not heard of Mike June when he first got in touch offering a copy of this, his fifth album; but he asked nicely and I said 'send a copy; but no promises.'
A shiny new CD arrived a week or so later; but sadly it has just sat in the 'to do' box gathering dust until last week.
I don't know why, I took it out to play on a car journey; perhaps/probably it was the title Poor Man's Bible which attracted me; especially with my recent return to the political battlegrounds.
Although not a fan; the neatly plucked banjo instantly caught my attention on opening track Let It Go; then when June's world weary voice oozed out of the stereo on a gloriously sad song that combines Religious imagery with a tale of a life in torment as a travelling musician and I was instantly enthralled. Seriously; this is a GREAT song; and one that will resonate with most of the artists on this here site.
June goes 'electric' on the next track, Working In Vain and it's just my kinda Rock n' Roll…..a fabulous 'punch the air' rocker, full of crunchy guitars, an electric keyboard and a trio of girls belting out the "Working in Vain" chorus. What's not to like?
First time out I rewound it three times before going into track #3 Cotton Fields; a cool and dark slice of atmospheric Southern Blues; with a slide guitar sounding like a flick knife and lyrics so sharp and edgy, you will wonder why you've not heard of this guy….I know that's how I felt and still feel.
Certainly no complaint; but just when you get a 'feel' for Mike June's 'style' he throws a curve ball by effortlessly moving genres, like the gears in my car; with God Gave Up being a sensitive piece of 70's singer-songwriter Folk singing, then following it with another punchy Rocker …Fall From Grace, which could be Billy Bragg singing some long forgotten Springsteen track.
I really can't recommend this album highly enough; especially the title track Poor Man's Bible which is a swinging almost Gospellish Alt. Country anthem that again; will touch the hearts and minds of most people who read the reviews on this site; that song plus the simple and haunting Jon Dee's Blues which could bring a tear to a glass eye.
It's discovering artists like Mike June what makes this all worthwhile; he can certainly write a song; and the theme throughout of the 'working man of all colours and persuasions is being trampled on' but his execution of those songs is second to none; and her certainly has his finger on the button in a way Bruce hasn't had for 20 years or more."

The sightings of coyotes this winter have been way up from normal. Over the past few weeks I've heard numerous reports from different people in the North Phoenix area that coyotes have been seen. I am fairly certain there has been more than one animal.
In fact, the sightings have been raised to the level of people posting on Craigslist.
Kazz, in fact, while he was walking the dogs spotted a coyote rambling through the streets of our little neighborhood. Of course, it abuts a region of actual desert here on the hard edge of the city, so that doesn't surprise me that much.
I believe that someone even rumored that one coyote had been seen near the fake lake in Tempe. Something that I'd already posited happening long ago.

"Carry on my wayward son For there'll be peace when you are done Lay your weary head to rest Don't you cry no more…" Kansas
As I wade through the current literature regarding the use of patient outcome measures in the practice of Physical Therapy, the above lyrics to a classic rock hit by Kansas come to mind. I feel quite wayward about my use of outcome measures in the clinic when I read articles or presentations by researchers in our profession. They do not believe outcome measures are worth my patient's time, much less worth my time as a clinician. I disagree. A simple solution I have found to avoid taking up valuable appointment time and/or overlapping patients is telling the patients as they are being scheduled to arrive 20minutes prior to their appointment. Is it 100% fool proof? Absolutely not. However, the great majority of our patients comply with our request and rarely is it an issue. Also, minimizing my time as a clinician in scoring the outcome measures also has a simple solution…practice. I score the outcome measures we use in less than 30seconds now. You become very quick and efficient with enough practice.
Let's discuss the merits of measuring outcomes. The bottom line is that any vocation or business benefits from measuring impact- it is the foundation of any successful endeavor. A baseline is established and progress toward goals and objectives is monitored and tracked determining whether positive progress occurs. Any deviation to progress is identified and necessary adjustments are made to get back on track. This is true in business, fund-raising, strategic planning initiatives and the like. Should healthcare delivery be any different? I do not believe so. In fact, healthcare accreditation bodies require constant monitoring of care, identification of issues and concerns and documenting their resolution and constant evaluation to ensure improvement. The primary reason I utilize outcome measures in my clinic is communication and engagement with the ultimate goal of improved patient care. Communication between the patient and I engages the patient directly in their plan of care. Communication among my colleagues and I is enhanced through active discussion about progress and challenges in the clinic. Communication with clinic administrators has improved, as I am able to provide them with measurable information. In my experience (13+ years) and in my practice setting/patient population, I use the outcome measures to demonstrate whether or not there is any improvement in a patient's pain and function. The improvement may not hold up to the rigors of statistical analysis but I am not conducting research. I am individually monitoring patient care and improvement and matching them to effective treatment modalities. Applied consistently and ethically, outcome measures are both a subjective and objective way to show the patient and myself whether he/she is improving with the current treatment approach. It plays an integral role in my clinical reasoning and in answering the question "am I on the right track" with this patient?
As a clinic supervisor, I can use the results of patient outcome measures to communicate strengths and weaknesses in clinical skills with my staff. Outcome measures may also be used to complement or supplement performance evaluations, construct staff development goals and determine CME requirements.
I also use the results of patient outcome measures on a monthly basis to communicate to clinic administrators our effectiveness as practitioners and also to prove our worth as medical providers. Productivity is a hot topic in most every PT practice. Why wouldn't it be? It determines the bottom line. You can bet the bottom line is constantly monitored with its own version of outcome measures. However, measuring productivity doesn't always consider quality or effectiveness of care. Patient outcome measures aren't perfect. What is perfect in the healthcare field? That's right…nothing. Outcome measures are a useful tool that if used properly, ethically and consistently, can prove to the patient sitting in front of you, clinic administrators or any other stakeholders and you yourself as a clinician that you are indeed on the right track with your practice.
So now I'm going to carry on my wayward ways and continue to utilize patient outcome measures in my practice regardless of the non-believers. At night I will lay my head to rest, not cry anymore and hope there'll be peace to come.

We recognize fiddle (as opposed to violin) music when we hear it. What most of us here in western Canada have probably heard is either American bluegrass-type fiddle tunes such as "The Orange Blossom Special" or, if we're older than 60, Maritime fiddling such as that heard on Don Messer's Jubilee. But fiddle music has rich and varied traditions throughout the world, ranging from Scottish folk dance tunes to the complex rhythms of Balkan fiddling to the Norwegian Hardanger tradition and to Jewish Klezmer music. Even within Canada we have very different regional styles of fiddling. The tunes heard on Don Messer's Jubilee are very different from what you would have heard at a parish hall dance in Quebec, a Métis community in northern Alberta or a Newfoundland kitchen. The reason these traditions have evolved into such unique and varied styles is because the music comes out of specific cultural communities. These communities were isolated from one another and developed their own, individual styles of music. With vastly improved communication and transportation, fiddlers these days are often masters of various styles of music.
At the Princeton Traditional Music Festival you will have the rare treat of being surrounded by a plethora of master fiddlers. A group of them will get together on the Saturday morning of the Festival for a one-hour session called"Five Fiddles." Annie Brown has performed at the Festival since its beginning in 2008 and is one of Vancouver's leading Irish and English Country dance fiddlers. Michael Burnyeat is the resident fiddler at Vancouver's Jericho Folk Club. Rosie Carver, who will be hosting this session, plays with Blackthorn, a Vancouver-based folk quartet who play Celtic music. Their repertoire is rooted in the musical traditions of Scotland, Ireland and England as well as English and French Canada.
Valerie Cohen from Seattle has organized and performed in children's and family concerts. She plays French, Canadian, Irish and Scandinavian tunes. Bryn Wilkin, a multi-instrumentalist fiddle player from Grand Forks is one half of, Vazzy, a duo that plays traditional songs and tunes from Acadia and Quebec with some newer compositions in the traditional style.
These fiddlers will share their love of the instrument and their musical virtuosity in the Five Fiddles session, which is just one item on the rich menu of music available at the Princeton Traditional Music Festival. The Festival begins at 6:15 pm on Friday 14 August with an opening ceremony and a participatory dance on Veterans' Way. On Saturday and Sunday there is music from 10 am until 6 pm right in downtown Princeton. It's all free and everyone is welcome. If you would like to find out more, visit the Festival's website at www.princetontraditional.org. If you'd like to help out at the Festival or billet a performer the committee would love to hear from you.
Admission is FREE. Events are held on several stages in the centre of Princeton and begin on Friday evening with a public street dance and an Irish ceili band. Between 10 a.m. and 6 p.m. Saturday and Sunday there's a potpourri of concerts, workshops, and jams.
This event is primarily for and about the performers. Traditional Music lacks venue in the west, so players, singers, dancers, and fans are willing to travel in order to meet up. Professional performers are making personal sacrifices in order to be here, but the many people who come just to listen attests to the unique value of this event. For those new to the Festival please have a look at the Our Story page to learn about how it started and what Traditional Music means to us.
Nestled among rolling hills of ranchland, the little town of Princeton is the gateway to the Okanagan. About 300 km from Vancouver, it is the first town after Hope along the Crowsnest Highway. Summers are hot and dry - just what we like for our festival which takes place mostly in the streets.
In addition to the sponsors, this festival is primarily supported by hard work and artists who perform for free. However, we aim to pay for artist's meals and at least part of their transportation costs. Please consider contributing in order to help maintain this important cultural event.
You can support the continuing operation of the festival by buying a $10 membership.
Every year we need a stage crew, MCs, office staff, and many other important helpers. If you want to be part of this exciting event in this way, please let us know. email@example.com
We encourage the sale of food, crafts, art, and more at the Festival. Please contact the Vendor Coordinator. email@example.com
Funding for the Festival comes from donations, as well as grants
from the
Town of Princeton, the
Regional District of Okanagan-Similkameen, and the Province of British Columbia.

The computers provided within the CIT lab facilities have all necessary software installed and configured as required for the course. Students may use personal computers to complete course assignments, however, this will require several software components to be correctly installed and configured. While this will not be covered in class, students may request individual help from the instructor.
Course Website
This course has an accompanying website. You are responsible for staying apprised of updates to the website. Grades will be posted to Canvas, which is available here: http://canvas.dixie.edu
Assignments and Exams
The student is responsible for reading the material in the textbook. A reading schedule is provided with the class schedule on the course website. The student is expected to read the material before the class in which it is discussed. The book also includes material beyond what we will discuss in lecture, which you are encouraged to study on your own. Feel free to bring questions from the reading to lectures or to office hours.
In addition, students will be expected to find and reference online documentation and examples to assist with the completion of assignments. Additional reading resources can be recommended upon request.
A series of programming projects will be assigned throughout the course. Assignments are due at 11:59pm on the date specified in the schedule. See below for the course late work policy.
A comprehensive final exam will be given at the end of the semester.
The final exam will count for 33% of your point total. Assignments will count for the remaining 67% of your point total.
Letter grades are assigned based on the percentage of possible points attained, according to the following chart:
|Minimum Percentage
|Letter Grade

Course Policies
Students are responsible for material covered and announcements made in class. School-related absences may be made up only if prior arrangements are made. The class schedule is approximate and the instructor reserves the right to modify the schedule according to class needs; changes will be announced in class. Exams and quizzes cannot be made up unless arrangements are made prior to the scheduled time of the exam or quiz.
Occasional absences are acceptable as long as the student maintains current progress on assignments; however, students who miss more than two consecutive weeks of class or who miss more than 20% of scheduled classes during the semester without making prior arrangements will receive a failing grade. Students who miss any scheduled exam or fail to complete a final project without making prior arrangements will receive a failing grade.
This course can only be completed by attending classes and completing all assigned work to a satisfactory level. There is no procedure for testing out of the class.
Time Commitment
Courses should require about 45 hours of work per credit hour of class. This class will require about 135 hours of work on the part of the student to achieve a passing grade, which is approximately 9 hours per week. If you do not have the time to spend on this course, you should probably rethink your schedule.
Late Work Policy
Assignments are due on the date specified in Canvas. Assignments may be submitted not more than seven (7) calendar days beyond the specified due date, including weekends and holidays, with a penalty decided by the instructor. Assignments will not be accepted after this period of time (except under exceptional circumstances decided by the instructor, if prior arrangements are made with the instructor). No late work will be accepted after the last day of class, with absolutely no exceptions. Exams cannot be made up, unless arrangements are made with the instructor prior to the date of the exam.
Limited collaboration with other students in the course is permitted. Students may seek help learning concepts and developing programming skills from whatever sources they have available, and are encouraged to do so. Collaboration on assignments, however, must be confined to course instructors, lab assistants, and other students in the course. Students are free to discuss strategies for solving programming assignments with each other, but this must not extend to the level of programming code. Each student must code his/her own solution to each assignment. See the section on cheating.
Cheating will not be tolerated, and will result in a failing grade for the students involved as well as possible disciplinary action from the college. Cheating includes, but is not limited to, turning in homework assignments that are not the student's own work. It is okay to seek help from others and from reference materials, but only if you learn the material. As a general rule, if you cannot delete your assignment, start over, and re-create it successfully without further help, then your homework is not considered your own work.
You are encouraged to work in groups while studying for tests, discussing class lectures, discussing algorithms for homework solutions, and helping each other identify errors in your homework solutions. If you are unsure if collaboration is appropriate, contact the instructor. Also, note exactly what you did. If your actions are determined to be inappropriate, the response will be much more favorable if you are honest and complete in your disclosure.
Where collaboration is permitted, each student must still create and type in his/her own solution. Any kind of copying and pasting is not okay. If you need help understanding concepts, get it from the instructor or fellow classmates, but never copy another's code or written work, either electronically or visually. The line between collaborating and cheating is generally one of language: talking about solutions in English or other natural languages is usually okay, while discussions that take place in programming languages are usually not okay. It is a good idea to wait at least 30 minutes after any discussion to start your independent write-up. This will help you commit what you have learned to long-term memory as well as help to avoid crossing the line to cheating.

Failure to Follow Prescribed Treatment Risks Denial of Disability Benefits
Required Conditions To Receive Social Security Benefits
While there are a number of reasons why you can be denied Social Security disability benefits, one of the thorniest issues is a failure to follow prescribed treatment.
Social Security regulations requires four conditions to be met before ruling a person has failed to follow prescribed treatment.
- A disability or impairment prevents you from doing an "substantial gainful activity."
- The impairment has lasted or will last 12 months, or can be expected to end in death.
- A treating doctor has prescribed treatment that is clearly expected to restore your ability to perform full-time work.
- You have refused to follow your treating doctor's prescribed treatment.
The conditions may seem straightforward, but there are conflicts that can arise in the prescribed treatment and the reasons you refuse treatment that your lawyer can cite in an appeal to overturn a denial of benefits. In addition, the medical treatment must be prescribed and not be simply a doctor's advice to change your lifestyle, such as losing weight or stop smoking.
Any excuse you use for refusal of treatment is going to be looked at very closely by Social Security and won't be accepted without solid evidence and documentation to support your refusal.
Violation of Religious Belief
You can refuse prescribed medical treatment if it violates your religious beliefs, but you must state your religious affiliation and show evidence that you are a member of that church before Social Security can rule your refusal was justified. But not any church will do. You must also show evidence that your church's teachings prohibit the medical treatment. The evidence can be from church literature or a statement from church authorities.
The prescribed treatment conflicts with the advice of another treating source
If you have more than one doctor, one may disagree with the treatment prescribed by the other doctor to treat your disability for work. They may differ on the risks of a prescribed surgery, or the effectiveness of certain drugs. As a patient, these are difficult decisions you face. Your decision shouldn't be influenced by a potential loss of disability benefits, so your decision to refuse treatment from one of our doctors can be ruled justifiable. The opinion of a non-treating physician, such as a doctor brought in by Social Security at a hearing to offer an opinion on the effectiveness of a certain treatment cannot be used to countermand the advice of your own doctor.
A prescribed surgery is highly risky
If the level of surgical risk is beyond the ordinary and expected risk of any surgery, your refusal could be ruled justifiable. Organ transplants and heart surgery can fall into this category, and many experimental procedures are extremely risky. Refusal to accept surgery that requires amputation of an extremity can also be ruled justifiable.
You have an extreme fear of surgery
This is a tough sell to Social Security, but if your fear of surgery goes well beyond the normal fear everyone has of surgery, and mental health professionals can document your extreme fear, Social Security officials might accept it as an excuse.
Failure to follow treatment is a symptom of your mental health disease
This may sound like a Catch-22 excuse. Your doctor prescribes a treatment for your mental health disease, but your mental health disease stops you from taking the treatment. A person in this situation will need a persuasive opinion from a mental health provider to convince Social Security at a hearing.
You can't afford the treatment
Many disability claimants face an inability to pay for medical treatment, but to convince Social Security that your claim should not be denied, you must also show that you've exhausted all other options, including free and subsidized clinics and public assistance programs.
Other reasons for refusing medical treatment may also be ruled as justifiable by Social Security, but there are many shades of gray for a hearing to consider. If your reason for refusing treatment is found to be unjustified, you must be informed of that decision 's impact on your disability benefits and given the opportunity to undergo the prescribed medical treatment after all or appeal the decision in a hearing.

Embryophyte stress signaling evolved in the algal progenitors of land plants
Edited by Pamela S. Soltis, University of Florida, Gainesville, FL, and approved February 27, 2018 (received for review November 9, 2017)
The evolution of land plants from algae is an age-old question in biology. The entire terrestrial flora stems from a grade of algae, the streptophyte algae. Recent phylogenomic studies have pinpointed the Zygnematophyceae as the modern-day streptophyte algal lineage that is most closely related to the algal land plant ancestor. Here, we provide insight into the biology of this ancestor that might have aided in its conquest of land. Specifically, we uncover the existence of stress-signaling pathways and the potential for intimate plastid-nucleus communication. Plastids act as environmental sensors in land plants; our data suggest that this feature was present in a common ancestor they shared with streptophyte algae.
Streptophytes are unique among photosynthetic eukaryotes in having conquered land. As the ancestors of land plants, streptophyte algae are hypothesized to have possessed exaptations to the environmental stressors encountered during the transition to terrestrial life. Many of these stressors, including high irradiance and drought, are linked to plastid biology. We have investigated global gene expression patterns across all six major streptophyte algal lineages, analyzing a total of around 46,000 genes assembled from a little more than 1.64 billion sequence reads from six organisms under three growth conditions. Our results show that streptophyte algae respond to cold and high light stress via expression of hallmark genes used by land plants (embryophytes) during stress–response signaling and downstream responses. Among the strongest differentially regulated genes were those associated with plastid biology. We observed that among streptophyte algae, those most closely related to land plants, especially Zygnema, invest the largest fraction of their transcriptional budget in plastid-targeted proteins and possess an array of land plant-type plastid-nucleus communication genes. Streptophyte algae more closely related to land plants also appear most similar to land plants in their capacity to respond to plastid stressors. Support for this notion comes from the detection of a canonical abscisic acid receptor of the PYRABACTIN RESISTANCE (PYR/PYL/RCAR) family in Zygnema, the first found outside the land plant lineage. We conclude that a fine-tuned response toward terrestrial plastid stressors was among the exaptations that allowed streptophytes to colonize the terrestrial habitat on a global scale.

A sheet metal louvre with acoustic properties commonly used to reduce the noise level from plant rooms escaping to outdoors.
The Q-Tech range of acoustic louvers acts as both an efficient acoustic barrier but also permits the accurate prediction of the resistance to air flow. Large openings are catered for by the use of a number of individual modules for site assembly.
The standard units are of galvanised steel but units of special materials such as stainless steel and aluminium can be supplied on request. In addition, the acoustic in-fill can be supplied in an impervious membrane at the cost of some acoustic performance.

A tsunami alert has been issued after a earthquake with a magnitude of 7.3 (7.0) struck off southern Japan.
The US Geological Survey (USGS) said the quake struck at 0531 (2031 GMT) 84km (52 miles) east of Naha, on the island of Okinawa, Reuters news agency reports.
The quake, only 29km (18 miles) below the seabed, is pretty dangerous and can very well have created a tsunami.

The Christmas season is such a joyful time - families gathering together sharing food, memories and good cheer...
...or is it?
For many it is a time of tension, hurt and pain – those expectations, hopes and dreams lying in tatters. There are families with members who don't really get along during the rest of the year who come together determined that it will be different but, fuelled by too much alcohol and food things go totally pear shaped as the cabin fever hits.
The streets are full of people hurrying about their tasks; shopping for presents, the special Christmas outfit, festival food and drink. This is the image the advertisers want to promote - buy this, buy that and all your dreams will be realised with everyone happy and smiley.
...but there are those who struggle to drag themselves out of bed, those who wonder where their next meal will come from, those whose families are far away, whose friends have all left for the holidays. Most cultures and religions have festivals and rituals in the middle of winter for a reason – to bring light and hope to the darkest and bleakest time of the year. For those unable to participate it can be hard to see that as we have just passed the Winter solstice on 21st December, the days will begin to lengthen, as the darkness gradually retreats.
If you know someone who is suffering, alone or vulnerable, keep an eye on them. Call them up, invite them over and remember to listen to the thoughts behind the words – I'm fine.
Remind them that you care for them, they are not alone and there is hope.
Here are some resources both for you when you want to help or for you needing it.
www.mind.org.uk Lots of help and advice for coping at this time of year. Blogs from people who have been there

Masizzim – Delicious Korean Stew in Orchard Road
It seems like the Korean food trend has been hitting our shores non-stop, beginning with frozen yogurt, moving on to "bing-su", fried chicken and finally, heartwarming meat stews and pancakes. Brought to you by the same team behind popular Korean fried chicken chain, Chir Chir, Masizzim is the newest Seoul import at 313 Somerset. An amalgamation of the Korean words 'masi' (delicious) and 'jjim' (stew), Masizzim (pronounced ma-see-zim) distinguishes itself from all other Korean eateries with three headline acts: Beef Rib Stew, Pork Rib Stew and Spicy Chicken Stew. These are complemented by a supporting cast of scrumptious side dishes, such as mix grain Rice Balls and three types of savoury Pancakes.
Here's when the fun begins! After putting on gloves, we proceeded to mixing and shaping rice balls ($8). You have a choice between crispy anchovy or tuna flakes with mayonnaise and kimchi, both of which comes packed with seaweed crumbs and crushed chili padi atop three mixed grains. The mixture of medium-grain white rice, Korean black rice and barley simply complements each other. You can mix the ingredients and conjure them into any shape you like. Both the Anchovy and Tuna rice balls are crowd pleasers, the former, being well-liked for its crispy texture while the latter, popular for its strong and flavourful taste.
It's finally time for the grand arrival of Masizzim's bubbling hot stew with chunks of succulent meat – Australian beef short ribs (priced $18/$32), Australian mixed pork ribs (priced $16/29) and mixed chicken parts (priced $16/29). They are marinated overnight and slow-cooked in secret sauce for at least 6 hours until tender. Each stew is available in two sizes – for individuals or two.
You can choose to have their stews spicy or non-spicy (for beef and pork versions only), then customise them by selecting either Korean glass noodles or udon to be added to their pick. The non-spicy soy flavour has an umami blend of soy sauce, pineapples and Korean pear while the spicy base is made with gochujang (red pepper paste) and can be adjusted to four different levels of spiciness. For extra pizzazz, add on cheese ($2) and toppoki (Korean rice cakes, $2).
I can't decide which was my favourite. That day, my first love was the non-spicy soy pork ribs because it has that attractive sweetness in the savoury stew. Then, I get a spicy kick from the chicken stew which is great for a cold day. The thick beef stew had a wicked depth of flavour. All the stews can be paired with a Sikhye Jar (660ml, $9.50), a Korean home-style chilled beverage of malt barley and rice that is brewed in-house every day. It can be your "life saviour" after you've had a taste of their fiery hot spicy stews.
Unlike most Korean restaurants, Masizzim's Korean side dishes are limited. But that works for me because I just need kimchi and I'm good. What made me really happy was, they served steamed egg ($6) as well which brings back so much memories in Korea. It is cooked with beef stock and even though it has the right amount of fluffiness, I felt that it wasn't as smooth as it should be.
We ended the meal with two Korean pancakes. Squid & Leek Pancake ($14) is a traditional Korean pancake with tender silvers of squid and leek, served with house-blended dipping sauce of soy sauce, vinegar, sugar, chili and onions. Customers who are fans of pizzas will love Masizzim's Tomato Cheese Kimchi Pancake ($13) which consists of kimchi and minced beef, topped with tomato paste, mozzarella and chopped basil.
Although Masizzim's menu isn't comprehensive, it's a place where we would return to whenever we crave comfort food and warm soup, especially on rainy days. The meal was such a pleasant experience and left us in such good moods.

A lot more sellers are experiencing the unthinkable: signing in to Amazon and studying they've been suspended. Hopefully, Amazon will never suspend your selling account, but if you find yourself in that position, it is critical you know the dos and don'ts of getting reinstated.
When Amazon suspends a seller, a banner appears at the top of the Seller Central account in the same place you might get information about winter stormy weather postponing deliveries. Many of customers focus and focus at that banner as if it is some kind of error that might change if they flicker their eyes enough.
Losing this income for even a day is scary to most sellers and they send us panicked e-mails and text messages at the wee first light because they can't sleep. It is bad information, yes, but most of the customers get back on Amazon.
Amazon seller suspension is more typical than many are aware of. If you want to run an effective E-commerce company on Amazon, it's essential to understand why seller accounts get suspended, keep away from a suspension, and what to do if your Amazon account gets suspended.
The exact reason for an Amazon suspension is a greyish area when it comes to promoting on Amazon. The complex criteria used by Amazon accounts many unique factors based on your seller efficiency – but overall, there are typical rules that every seller needs to follow to prevent Amazon suspension.
Amazon suspension usually comes down to your level of client support. If you observe your analytics every day, answer every client concept in the specified period of time, and handle any potential issues instantly, your seller efficiency will indicate your effort. But if you neglect the Appeal Amazon suspension and provide client support that does not live up to Amazon's requirements, you are setting yourself up for a major Amazon failure.
The various reasons behind Amazon suspension are far from cut-and-dried – but there are certain conditions factors intensely into the decision to hold an account.
The key consideration is that when conflicts or A-Z statements occur, Amazon will usually side with the customer. You need to build an action plan that details the problems from Amazon's customer-centric point of view.
One essential technique in mastering keep away from Amazon suspension and other problems with your account, such as your funds being taken out by Amazon, is to learn Amazon's primary concepts. Keep these in mind when you create your E-commerce company structure – it should be mostly based on these concepts if you intend to run an effective business on Amazon.
Online sellers acknowledge the importance of the Amazon industry. According to a recent study, over 60% of all sellers said their biggest concern was Amazon taking away their seller rights, by suspending or completely prohibiting them from selling on the marketplace.
If you're regrettable enough to have your Amazon consideration suspended once, but lucky enough to have it reinstated – you will now realize that the best advice anyone can give is to make sure it doesn't happen again!

This is an interesting question as it can be approached from the theoretical perspective or the practical perspective. When I think about learning, teaching and schooling from the classroom (or school) level I use the pyramid metaphor. I realize this is from an earlier post, but really the approach that we use in teaching and learning is one of a pyramid approach. That is, we need to carefully build a foundational approach before moving up the pyramid to higher levels. From a teaching perspective, can a teacher truly lead an inductive math lesson before they are able to implement the foundational elements of instruction first? From a learning perspective, can a student really be expected to analyze and synthesize multiple sources before they can perform the foundational skill of close, purposeful reading?
The pyramid metaphor really describes the landscape of teaching as we move from foundational skills to more complex expectations. This almost like moving through the different levels of cognition. Can you truly synthesize information before you have developed an understanding of the information through knowledge, comprehension, and analysis?
My thought process certainly follows the underlying assumptions presented earlier in this course. The only difference is that while there was earlier critical of prescribed lessons, curriculum and teacher actions, I have accepted these actions as necessary for building the foundation. Additionally, I would emphasize the importance of the teaching and learning that takes place after these assumptions are realized. This is the point that we can create authentic learning opportunities for our students.

Out of all pests, ants are considered to be the number one nuisance, creating billions of dollars in revenue for pest control companies all over the United States. Besides fire ants, a person's health is not greatly affected from an infestation, but people just don't like to see them because they have become a telltale sign of unsanitary conditions. Though some ants can also affect the home's structure and cause damage to electrical units.
Considering all the issues that ants cause, many people are starting to go to pest control companies like UltraPro Pest Protection to help them manage these nuisances. Some of the areas most affected by ants include kitchens and bedrooms. Pesticides can be used to prevent ants, but why would you want to use pesticides in the sensitive areas of your home such as your living room and bedroom? By using a method known as integrated pest management, it will help you protect the indoors from ants while greatly limiting, sometimes eliminating, the use of pesticides.
The main goal of IPM, Integrated Pest Management is to protect your home from pests while keeping yourself, your family, and the environment safe. The main way pest control companies do this is through non-chemical controls by either changing the environment to make it less favorable for pests, or using alternative methods such as cold, heat, or traps to get rid of pests without affecting people or the environment. Pesticides will be used when needed, but the purpose IPM is to protect the environment and the people around it and involves not using chemical treatments when possible.
Here are the general steps that are used to implement an IPM plan that protects and rids nuisances like ants.
Before you can come up with a plan, you have to properly identify the pest. With ants, there are many different species that cause different types of damage and require different control methods. Some of the most common species of ants include carpenter ants, pavement ants, acrobat ants, pharaoh ants, odorous house ants, and many more.
Each one of these species has different characteristics when it comes to nesting sites, food preferences, and susceptibility to different control methods. As a result of this, it takes more than knowing you have a problem to solve it. Sometimes proper identification requires some advanced skills, so calling in a pest control professional will help you make sure you are tackling your problem the right way.
This is a very critical step when it comes to enacting IPM. Monitoring will let you detect the problem early, identify affected areas, and assess how effective the IPM program will be on your situation. When monitoring ants, it is more important to record the number of sites affected rather than the amount of ants present – a task that can be more difficult to do for ants than it is for other pests like cockroaches. Ants are more discreet than other pests, but there are still ways of tracking them.
For some species like carpenter ants, you can look for possible holes in the wall that would lead to where their nest is. Most of the times, ants have foraging lines, which is where ants go from their active feeding location to their nesting site. Once this trail is found, an IPM program will be designed to protect your home or business from ants.
Ant control strategies are just as diverse as the ants themselves. Each species of ant will require a different type implementation. If outdoor ants make their way indoors, there are many different strategies that you could put into effect. You would start by using an insecticide barrier on the exterior of the building in order to prevent the pest from coming in. Inside the building, you want to use a cleaning agent on the foraging trails to wipe away their scent. Also, baits can be used near pest-pressured areas, which will help get rid of the ants even faster. This is a more environmentally friendly approach. UltraPro Pest Protection has over 30-years of residential, commercial, and industrial pest management expertise.
There are also non-chemical, environmentally friendly IPM strategies that are capable of protecting your property from potential ant infestations. Some of these include:
Pesticides may be used both indoors and outdoors, in pest infested, pest pressured areas under the rules and regulations of the DEP, (Department of Environmental Protection).
