Outspoken conservative and author Taya Kyle has taken a stand in the face of NFL players who feel compelled to protest the U.S. national anthem.
Widow of Navy SEAL sniper Chris Kyle wrote the NFL a letter that challenged anthem protesters to actually do something.
Kyle excoriated the NFL for bringing division and anger into what was once an experience that could be shared by people of all races and backgrounds.
"Football was really a metaphor for our ideal world — different backgrounds, talents, political beliefs and histories as one big team with one big goal – to do well, to win, TOGETHER," Kyle wrote.
"You have a lot of strong guys, I am sure in the off season a lot of them could build some pretty big bridges if they care enough to do the hard work," she wrote.
She had one suggestion for these players who supposedly want to make a difference in our nation: Get off your knees and do something.
"That would involve getting off their knees and getting to work," she said, adding that if they got involved through the Chris Kyle Frog Foundation, they too could do great things for the issues they claim to care so much about.
She's right. These players make enough money that what they would consider a small donation would make a sizable difference in organizations devoted to helping the oppressed.
Plus, their influence on millions of young Americans could be channeled into something truly beneficial, rather than furthering the nation's divides.
Sure, some NFL players have given to the needy, and that is wonderful, but Kyle's point here is that kneeling does nothing to actually help the oppressed. Wearing socks that depict policemen as pigs does nothing to help anyone either.
All protesting the national has done is offend a significant portion of the NFL's fan base, and make a sport that was once unifying, incredibly divisive.
These men want the world to think they are "doing something" because they kneel before hundreds of thousands of fans on game day. They are indeed making a statement, but what are they actually doing?
NFL players who kneel are about to realize the true value of their fans. Much like snobby liberal celebrities who seem to think their opinions matter more than everyone else's because they are wealthy, these guys are out of touch and out of line.

Educational Development and the NSS SEDA/HE Academy Workshop
Aims of this session To consider the context required for NSS outputs to contribute to teaching enhancement To explore the conceptual models at play when educational developers respond to NSS issues with academic staff To share how educational developers might work best to enhance teaching, using the NSS
NSS as a trigger for change? Concern for benchmark position (as a university or across a programme or department) An indicator of a problem from the students perspective As above – from the perspective of academic staff An opportunity to evaluate an earlier change initiative Educational developers available to act as critical friends, advisors, facilitators
But.. Some questions to consider: Do people, departments, universities care about the bench mark position? Are people convinced that that the NSS is a valid tool for uncovering student experiences? Is anyone interested in evaluating an earlier change project? Are educational developers able to respond in a helpful way? Process relies on: o Senior managers who care about NSS outcomes and communicate this o Students who expect to be involved in dialogue about the NSS o All of above despite possible reservations about validity of tool o University mechanisms which link to NSS outcomes o The role of the EDU Q 1. What structures does the NSS link to in your university? For example, annual reviews, promotion evidence, departmental quality reviews, reports to committees?
Do people care about NSS? Dialogue with current students An indicator to be analysed in the course annual review An action plan to be considered at individual or course level A goal in institutional strategy An action point in a department plan A discussion point at appraisal Evidence of the student experience Evidence for rewards or promotions A national benchmark
Educational developers and the NSS The role of the Educational developer in relation to student evaluation data The nature of EDU work in relation to student evaluation data The possibilities and challenges
Who are you when you are working with academics on the NSS?
The non neutrality of some of the mental models Davies (1975) – consulting relationships are either product or process orientated Product mode – client has solution in mind and consultant assists. The client may purchase advice or resources from a seller. There may be external coercion to do this and an economy in which to operate. Something is lacking until the transaction when balance is restored. Process mode – consultant engages the client in problem solving. Can be a deficit model – the client has a problem, is sick and the consultant can make a diagnosis and resolve the problem. Even co-enquiry model may not feel neutral
Espoused and perceived methods of working When I am working well with an academic team its like what? Is your espoused model the same as the model you actually use? Q.2. What might an academic team be thinking when the educational developer comes to work with them on the NSS?
How is the unit seen? Too linked to senior management and managerial agendas? The providers of hints and tips for teaching? Critical friends? Colleagues? The pedagogic gurus? The commissars? Who?
Implications of the evaluation instrument There may be implicit values / ideological stances embedded in an instrument like the NSS (student satisfaction not student engagement for example) It might result in perverse outcomes through a focus on crude measures of satisfaction The values and mental models of the educational developer will influence the way the tool is used The values and mental models of the academic team / individuals will influence the way the tool can be used to enhance teaching
SEDA Values An understanding of how people learn Scholarship, professionalism and ethical practice Working and developing learning communities Working effectively with diversity and promoting inclusivity Continuing reflection on professional practice Developing people and processes
Using the NSS to change views about teaching A tool for reflection – offering an opportunity to benchmark and a student view of the teams practice and a basis for action research, including student focus groups to triangulate data (Biggs 1999) A mechanism for providing a pedagogic threshold concept – there may thus be a transformed internal view of subject matter, subject landscape, or even world view, and the teacher can move on (Meyer and Land 2005) A lever for changing behaviour– change institutional, departmental, course or individual level practice and beliefs will follow (Guskey 1986) Evidence of enhancement – a crude measure but one nonetheless of enhancement work or strategic actions A way in to a dialogic space with academics and academic teams –for transformative dialogue (Kester 2004)
Development and Change Development may be viewed as a site for contest: it is not a unitary concept for which one day, we will provide a model. The very meaning of the word development, how it is constituted, the kind of activities it implies, are all discursive, and can be interpreted according to various ontological and epistemological standpoints Webb 1996 But doesnt that make our job so interesting?!

China Hopes Tillerson Firing Won't Affect N. Korea Talks
China voiced hope on Wednesday Donald Trump's sudden firing of Secretary of State Rex Tillerson will not impact bilateral relations or planned talks between the US president and North Korea's leader.
Beijing is believed to have a positive assessment of Tillerson, who was seen as a light touch in contrast to Trump's "good cop, bad cop" routine of slamming Beijing on Twitter while simultaneously flattering its leadership in person.
"We hope that this personnel change will at the least not have any effect on the development of Sino-US bilateral relations or Sino-US cooperation in some important areas," foreign ministry spokesman Lu Kang told reporters at a regular press briefing.
The firing comes as Trump prepares for delicate talks with North Korea's Kim Jong Un.
Lu said China hopes that the US "can maintain the positive situation that has recently developed on the Korean peninsula, including the positive desire shown by both the American and North Korean sides for willing, direct talks."
Tuesday's sacking caps a tumultuous tenure for the Texas oilman.
He was repeatedly forced to deny he had fallen out with Trump -- vowing to remain in his post despite a sensational report that he once dubbed the president a "moron".
Ironically, one of Trump's most public clashes with Tillerson came when the president accused his top diplomat of "wasting his time" pursuing contacts with North Korea.
Tillerson was also thought to have made a major concession to China when he publicly repeated Beijing's rhetoric about the Sino-US relationship during his first trip to the country.
"We appreciated Mr. Tillerson's efforts to promote the development of Sino-US relations," Lu said, adding "we hope that Mr. Tillerson will continue to care for and support the development of Sino-US relations in the future."
Lu said China is "willing to work" with Trump's nominee for the top diplomat job, CIA chief Mike Pompeo, in order to continue relations based on mutual respect and cooperation.

Beside the theatre is the landmark Havana Capitol Building– el Capitolio.
Built in a neo-classical style, el Capitolio is reminiscent of the American White House - but uniquely Cuban.
Until the 1959 Cuban revolution, the House of Representatives and Senate operated from here. Now it houses the Ministry of Science, Technology and the Environment.
On my first six visits to Cuba, a tired annex at the rounded end of the Capitol Building was where I went for my internet connection.
There are now many more options for a connection but none of them offer connection speeds that are approaching fast.
In the early 2000s you could stare out at this park while the slow connections toiled away and your Cuban friends, not permitted officially to have an account, would eagerly watch over your shoulder.
Now that Cubans can have an intranet account from which they can send or receive email (at a not low cost) the queues outside the connection points are long - as is the waiting time.
So if your Cuban friends don't seem to be very responsive to your emails - recognise that they may not have enough money to connect, may not have had enough time before the connection time timed out (which, given the slowness of the connections happened to me on the internet more than once just as I was able to see I had email - poof - time had expired), or have got to the queue too late.
But in contrast to the worn out Internet section of the Capitol Building, on the other side is a lovely terrace bar - a cool place to relax in the afternoons.
The Capitol is worth visiting as there is so much to discover within. It is something of a grand allegory of the hopes of a free nation - and the architecture and art reflect these aspirations.
In 2011 it was closed for renovations and I did not see any sign of when it would re-open. Finally in March 2018 it was again open to visit - just in time for the selection of the next president to folow Raul Castro.
It really is magnificent. Put it on your list of things to see in Havana.
The dome was inspired by that in the Pantheon in Paris.
Beneath it stands the massive Statue of the Republic (La Estatua de la República) by Zanelli cast in 1929.
Once totally covered in 3 sheets of 22 Carat (92%) gold leaf, now mostly worn off, she stands ready to fight alongside her countrymen with her spear, her shield and wearing her Phrygian cap – a type of cap that in the days of the Roman Empire signified Freedom and Liberty.
Lily Valtry is generally attributed as being the model, but in fact while hers is the body - the face was modelled on Elena de Cardenas, one of the most beautiful women in Havana at the time.
The statue was moulded in three parts in Rome and travelled via Naples to be reassembled in the Capitol building just a few steps from the inset diamond that once sat here to mark the zero point from which all distances in Cuba are measured (even today – without the diamond, which famously disappeared in the 1940s, reappearing mysteriously in a desk drawer of the then President Grau). Reputedly the diamond is now stored in a safe place, a replica replacing it.
I don't know about you but a safe place in our household was always a code phrase for 'lost until found again by accident…or never to be found again'.
The statue itself is hollow but still weighs 49 tons. It has springs inside to help support it and – a real secret Havana destination – has a tunnel into it from a room nearby.
Like most secret tunnels, time has a way of unveiling the secret through other, less secretive works - often verifying local word-of-mouth stories of their existence – and so it was here.
Standing 15 m (49¼ ft) high, when mounted on a marble plinth the Statue of the Republic reaches 17.54m (55¼ ft).
Once it was the tallest internal sculpture in the world – until bested by that of Abraham Lincoln in the Lincoln Memorial.
Leading away from the statue, the Salón de los Pasos Perdidos or Hall of Lost Steps is magnificent – and true to its name, muffles the noise of footsteps.
Splendid brass candelabra line the way.
Equally grand are the meeting rooms above.
These have more fantastic brass candelabra and chandeliers – all with energy saving light bulbs!
The Havana Capitol Building is a place full of pattern: on friezes, cornices, columns, doors…
…even patterns in the brass railings and grills…
Each ceiling of the cCapitol Building is a work of art in itself.
John Louis Cole said:
Expectancy is the atmosphere for miracles .
When you visit El Capitolio, the Capitol Building of the Republic of Cuba that was once the seat of parliament, you will find it to be a place where art saturates the senses. Here it seems possible that Cuba is waiting to burst forward into a miracle of possibilities.

International advisory company, JLL, presents its report summarising Q3 2014 and analysing key trends on Poland's retail market.<\/p>
Retail supply <\/strong><\/p>
340,000 sq m of new retail supply was delivered to the market in Q1 – Q3 2014, including 265,000 sq m in the shopping centre sector. Q3 alone saw 75,100 sq m of new retail space, including 64,000 sq m of new shopping centre space in two new assets, along with one extension, come onto the market. Both new projects are located in the Warmińsko-Mazurskie Voivodeship, in cities smaller than 200,000 inhabitants. These are: Galeria Warmińska (41,000 sq m) in Olsztyn, which is the largest single retail asset in the entire voivodeship, and Brama Mazur (17,250 sq m) - a pioneer retail scheme in Ełk. In addition, two retail parks opened in Q3 - one of 5,700 sq m in Nowa Sól; and another in Kętrzyn named STOP.SHOP. (5,400 sq m). <\/p>
A further 814,500 sq m of retail stock is currently under construction, including shopping centres, retail parks and outlet centres. Shopping centres account for more than 700,000 sq m in 32 projects, which include nine centres that are being extended. Approximately 80,000 sq m of new floor space in shopping centres is expected to hit the market this year (total of ca. 345,000 sq m in 2014), with over 480,000 sq m to be completed in 2015. In addition, 12 retail parks, with approximately 70,000 sq m of space, are being developed, with the majority of them in cities of below 200,000 inhabitants. <\/p>
The outlet centre sector is also expanding. Two new outlet centres are developed by ADV Por Property Investment (a new player in this sector), and will become the first outlet centres for the cities of Lublin and Białystok in Eastern Poland. In addition, a Factory Ursus outlet in Warsaw is being extended by while another centre in Białystok may soon be opened in place of Galeria Podlaska.<\/p>
Total retail supply in Poland stands at 12.2 million sq m of GLA, including 8.76 million sq m of shopping centre stock in 376 projects. At present, the shopping centre density in Poland stands at 227 sq m \/ 1,000 inhabitants and will increase to 245 sq m after the completion of the stock currently in construction stages. This exceeds the European average of 196 sq m; however, it is still lower than Western European average of 260 sq m.<\/p>
Demand <\/strong><\/p>
Newcomers in Q3 were mostly fashion retailers: three French brands (Devred 1902, Sinequanone and Undiz); an Italian chain, Eye Sport, and Fullah Sugah from Greece. The health & beauty sector was  further enhanced by the opening of Kiehl's Since 1851 from the USA. Another chain from this sector, Kiko Milano, will open soon in Arkadia. The first direct Apple Shop in Poland has just opened in Media Markt Okęcie\/ Warsaw. Wrangler and Lee, so far inseparable, have recently opened two monobrand stores in Arkadia in Warsaw.<\/p>
<\/strong>Marta Augustyn, Associate Director, Retail Agency, JLL, <\/strong><\/a>commented: "Retail chains in Poland are believed to be in good condition and the country remains an attractive market for further expansion. The last three months have become busy for both new market entrants and those already present on the market. Brands already present on the market are actively, albeit selectively, expanding. All potential locations are still carefully examined. Unsurprisingly, prime assets located in the main metropolitan areas  attract most retailer demand. Landlords of centres which are perceived as secondary by market stakeholders, or those located in very competitive markets, are facing downward pressures on rents and high expectations from tenants with regard to fit-out contributions".<\/p>
The interesting trend is the consolidation of the food sector. As a consequence of Real's takeover by Auchan, the number of active large food store operators in Poland has gone down from five to four. Additionally, chains are adjusting to market needs by either introducing new formats or limiting floor space. <\/p>
Rents and vacancy rate<\/strong><\/p>
Warsaw features the highest prime shopping centre rents (peaking at € 105\/ sq m \/month). Prime rents refer to a prominently located 100 sq m unit shop from the fashion and accessories category in leading shopping centres. JLL anticipates prime rents in Warsaw and the remaining markets to remain stable in the short to mid-term.<\/p>
At the end of H1 2014, the average shopping centre vacancy rate in major agglomerations stood at 2.8%, down by 0.4 percentage points  when compared to the end of 2013.<\/p>
Investment Market <\/strong><\/p>
<\/strong>Adam Kiernicki, Senior Financial Analyst, JLL<\/strong><\/a>,<\/strong> said: "The total volume of retail transactions concluded in Poland to date is estimated at €410 million, with approximately €50 million in Q3. The most notable retail transaction in Q3 2014 was the acquisition of Galeria Piła by Immofinanz from Rank Progress, while the biggest transaction this year is still the acquisition of Poznań City Center by a consortium of Resolution and ECE Fund from TriGranit, Europa Capital and PKP. We expect increasing retail investment activity in Q4 illustrated by a preliminary sale agreement recently signed by Atrium European Real Estate to acquire Focus Mall in Bydgoszcz from Aviva Investors for approximately €122 million. In addition, a number of other transactions in the retail sector are at advanced stages with a likely closing by the end of 2014".<\/p>

The structure of the US higher education system has led to more bad behaviour from students than in other parts of the world, according to the authors of a new study.
"It is a lot more informal in the classroom here than in Europe," said Heike Alberts, associate professor of geography at the University of Wisconsin Oshkosh, and one of the authors of the research published in the Journal of Geography in Higher Education.
"That informality, of course, has many positives, but it's more conducive to students engaging in certain forms of incivility."
Professor Alberts, whose paper is titled "Classroom Incivilities: The Challenge of Interactions between College Students and Instructors in the US", said that students had been left with a "certain sense of entitlement" by factors including permissive parents, higher tuition fees and an overly lenient school environment.
"Students believe they have the right to good grades and the right to complain," she said.
The paper explains that this proliferation of incivility in the classroom has led to syllabuses "that resemble legal contracts rather than paths to learning".
Professor Alberts said that when academics met at conferences, only the most serious problems were discussed, which led to a distortion of what would be termed classroom incivility as well as the true level of uncivil behaviour from students.
"The little things get missed and overlooked," she said. "It's the coming in late, the talking in the classroom, the playing on cellphones. I personally can think of only a handful of occasions that I would term serious bad behaviour in my 10 years of teaching."
While Professor Alberts said the frequency of bad behaviour in class had not surprised her, the reactions of different groups of teachers had proved unexpected.
She found that female lecturers were more likely to experience uncivil behaviour than other groups but were also more likely to report it.
"Of course, incivilities can happen to anybody, but some women responding to our survey said they felt this was happening in a gendered context," Professor Alberts said, citing examples of "comments bordering on sexual harassment and authority being questioned".
The study also found that overseas and non-white faculty were less likely to report bad behaviour even though they were more likely than some groups to experience it.
Professor Alberts attributed some of their reluctance to take issue with rude students to the difficulty in getting on to the tenure track.
"Their position is not as secure," she said. "They fear that if they confront bad behaviour it will affect their career because it may affect their evaluation scores."
The research also found that class size played a factor.
"When you have a seminar of 12, it's very difficult to get away with any kind of incivility," Professor Alberts said. "However, a classroom of 200 is very anonymous. You don't know everyone's name, so you can't just say, 'Hey, John, stop that.'"

We have been writing a lot about online spreadsheet tools after doing some research on available tools in the market. We came across an interesting use case of such tools in education domain. We talked to one of the institutes using one such product and why they switched from MS Excel to online SaaS application?
To understand their use case, we asked them to explain their problems which they were facing and what made them decide to go for online SaaS application.
In their institute, managing data coming from students, faculty and management and outside vendors was getting messed up because of unmanageable copies of same dataa by different people involved in different processes. Example, each faculty member has to collaborate with his/her students on the task/work/paper assigned to them. At the same time, faculty member also has to manage a spreadsheet to keep track of all the courses which are currently running as well as for next semesters. The work of faculty is also distributed to keep track of all the interview schedules of candidates and invited speakers in case of any events. Faculty is also responsible for any data collection assignments to student for research projects. Thus collaborating with multiple parties in the same organization.
Students are also part of the collaboration tasks, where small teams of students working on an academic project have to collect and collaborate data among themselves and the faculty. While the teaching assistant is collaborating with the faculty on student grades in another spreadsheet. Any more such scenarios which almost every institute work on.
While migrating from Office suite excel to online spreadsheet, they picked the most common use case of students-faculty collaboration on project work. They started using Google Docs for this purpose, as it was free to use and is very similar to Excel. They create a list of all the tasks and task assignments for review on it and started using it. Every student had to update the status of the task from assigned to pending to completed with estimated time to complete and actual time to complete. Faculty would review the status of task and assignments of tasks, plus grade the task based on the quality and time taken. But they hit a road block when students were able to view the grades column and were able to change it without problem, even they were able to see details of other projects and other student grades. It was kind of security breach which was unacceptable. They planned to create separate sheet for each project and keep grades in another sheet but then it was again getting difficult to manage those sheets. Another issue they faced was inconsistencies in the data capture and column settings, many times data was getting lost and sometimes applied column settings were not reflecting. Also, data validation was becoming more and more problematic to get data cleansing done at regular period of time.
Then they started looking for alternatives, they reviewed Zoho Sheets, EditGrid and CollateBox. Each of these apps had their own benefits but some were better than others. Zoho was giving them complete office suite while editGrid was giving complete Excel functionalities and more but it was closing the services in May. CollateBox on the other hand was actually specifically solving their each problems they were facing with the other tools, like hiding certain columns from student, making some columns only read only, filtering and sharing only particular projects data with each group and maintaining same master sheet to collate data. Column settings were contextual based on the auto data validation. Filters and sorts are one click functionalities. They observed consistency in data and formats. Multiple excels sheet and multiple copies of those sheets circulating across different email ids was gone and better way of collaboration was in the house.

Get Window Tinting You Can Trust: Your Comfort & Privacy Is Our Priority
When choosing your window tint near Dundas, visit a company you know you can trust to get the job done correctly. Browse a variety of tint shades for your home, car, or commercial window tinting needs at your nearby location. Rest assured, our window tint is custom cut for your business, home, or car windows to ensure a perfect fit—always. Plus, it is manufactured to last, so you don't need to worry about the discoloration and bubbling that occurs with lower-grade window film. What's more, when your window film is professionally installed by one of our factory-trained technicians, you could get the additional protection of a lifetime limited warranty. This warranty means that in the off-chance your office, car, or home window tint bubbles, fades, or become discolored, we'll remove and replace it free of charge.
Enjoy a cooler ride with car window tinting
Over the lifetime of your car, continued exposure to light and heat can cause the interior to crack, fade, and peel. LLumar window tint locations give drivers first-rate value and protection. When you tint your car windows, you help protect the interior of your car (and everyone in it) from the sun's distracting glare and harmful rays. Choose from your tinting company's full line of automotive window tint shades, ranging from clear to dark charcoal. Note that some states may have legal limitations on the level of darkness you can select for your car window tint. Visit or call today to pick out an option that's within your state's legal guidelines!
Home window tint: Save money & protect your furnishings
Once installed by one of our certified technicians, your home window tint helps protect your family from potentially harmful ultraviolet rays, and sometimes the prying eyes of could-be burglars. Home window tint could help keep floors, furnishings, and artwork from being damaged by the sun. It helps prevent close to 99% of the sun's harmful ultraviolet rays that cause fading and discoloration. When it's hot outside, even unbearably so, it helps keep your house cooler and more comfortable. What's more, once their home window tint was installed, many customers reported seeing their monthly energy bills go down by as much as 15%! Since LLumar is LEED-certified, you could be eligible to save even more money through applicable tax credits and incentives in your area.
Commercial window tint: Conserve energy & convey style
With custom window tinting for your business, you'll achieve a polished, professional look while helping to reduce the strain on your facility's energy bill. Ranging from crystal clear to deep charcoal, there's a tint shade to match the needs of your business. Once installed by your LLumar location, non-reflective window tint offers a uniform look that merges flawlessly with the style of your building. A dual-reflective option is also available for businesses in need of a shiny exterior to improve solar heat rejection, but a less reflective interior for added privacy at night. Office window tint isn't just for the outside of a commercial building, though. Inside your facility, it can be installed as an additional design feature that offers style and privacy in stairwells, meeting rooms, and on interior office windows. Call or visit your LLumar window tint dealer near Dundas to get started on your commercial tinting project.

CASE 434 - Our sun and Sirius, Binery twins
Sirius is the brightest star in the night sky. With a visual apparent magnitude of −1.46, it is almost twice as bright as Canopus, the next brightest star. The name "Sirius" is derived from the Ancient Greek: Σείριος Seirios ("glowing" or "scorcher"). The star has the Bayer designation Alpha Canis Majoris (α CMa). What the naked eye perceives as a single star is actually a binary star system which in turn is connected and rotates with our own sun, consisting of a white main-sequence star of spectral type A1V, termed Sirius A, and a faint white dwarf companion of spectral type DA2, called Sirius B. The distance separating Sirius A from its companion varies between 8.1 and 31.5 AU
Sirius appears bright because of both its intrinsic luminosity and its proximity to Earth. At a distance of 2.6 parsecs (8.48 ly), as determined by the Hipparcos astrometry satellite, the Sirius system is one of Earth's near neighbors; for Northern-hemisphere observers between 30 degrees and 73 degrees of latitude (including almost all of Europe and North America), it is the closest star (after the Sun) that can be seen with a naked eye. Sirius is gradually moving closer to the Solar System, so it will slightly increase in brightness as it moves closer.
Sirius A is about twice as massive as the Sun and has an absolute visual magnitude of 1.42. It is 25 times more luminous than the Sun but has a significantly lower luminosity than other bright stars such as Canopus or Rigel. The system is between 200 and 300 million years old. It was originally composed of two bright bluish stars. The more massive of these, Sirius B, consumed its resources and became a red giant before shedding its outer layers and collapsing into its current state as a white dwarf around 120 million years ago. Sirius is also known colloquially as the "Dog Star", reflecting its prominence in its constellation, Canis Major (Greater Dog). The heliacal rising of Sirius marked the flooding of the Nile in Ancient Egypt and the "dog days" of summer for the ancient Greeks, while to the Polynesians it marked winter and was an important star for navigation around the Pacific Ocean.

You couldn't make this stuff up:
Sens. John Kerry, Bob Corker, and Sheldon Whitehouse today announced the passage of their legislation to remove former South African President Nelson Mandela from the terror watch list. The bill grants the Secretary of State, in consultation with the Departments of Justice and Homeland Security, the authority to waive U.S. travel restrictions on President Mandela and other members of the African National Congress (ANC.)
Mandela and his fellow ANC members remain on the list for activities they conducted against South Africa's apartheid regime decades ago. The senators hope the passage of this legislation will end this embarrassing impediment to improving U.S.-South Africa relations.
"In recognition of his ninetieth birthday this summer, Nelson Mandela is again honored as one of the world's strongest voices for human dignity and courage in the face of oppression. Today the United States moved closer at last to removing the great shame of dishonoring this great leader by including him on our government's terror watch list," said Kerry.
That's right – Condi will now be allowed to consider deeming Mandela unlikely to blow up US citizens…

The development of autonomous vehicles (AVs) will enable tremendous societal benefits by improving vehicle safety and access to transportation for disabled people, the elderly, and others who cannot currently drive themselves. Fully autonomous vehicles will improve safety by reducing the severity and frequency of automobile accidents and will mitigate other inefficiencies of current motor vehicle use, such as congestion.
TechNet supports policies that encourage the safe deployment of fully autonomous vehicles on public roads in the United States. These policies include the promotion of investment in infrastructure and other architecture that will enable and accelerate AV operations.
TechNet is concerned that well-intentioned state policy frameworks will unintentionally stifle innovation and impede the safety benefits of this technology. States should avoid adopting policies that will create or maintain barriers to the testing, development, and deployment of this technology and the benefits that come with it.
The state program supports the following principles:
- Special regulations for human-operated vehicles with "autonomous" features should be avoided. When a human is in the driver's seat with immediate access to driver controls, existing law is sufficient and there is no need to impose additional requirements or restrictions.
- State policymakers should avoid vehicle performance standards, safety regulations, or certifications that supplement or go beyond, overlap, or conflict with federal law, regulations, or autonomous vehicle guidance. A patchwork of policies will stifle or impede innovation.
- Frameworks, regulations, and constructs that restrict competition or limit operation of self-driving vehicles to only one segment of innovators or automotive technologies should be avoided. Policies should ensure companies that test or deploy fully autonomous vehicles are accountable for the safety of their products. Policies should be technology-neutral, avoid picking winners and losers, and prioritize public safety.
- A human operator for operation, testing, and deployment should not be required. Policymakers should not predetermine how the technology will develop or legislate technology by specifying the role of a human in its development.
- Local ordinances, or other formal local sign-off, as a prerequisite for testing or deployment within a state should not be required. TechNet believes that a patchwork of local laws and regulations would be unnecessarily burdensome and could impede travel between jurisdictions.
- Support voluntary compliance with the guidelines outlined in "Automated Driving Systems 2.0: A Vision for Safety" (Sept. 2017).
- The operation of self-driving vehicles in the state should be subject to the same accident reporting requirements as other, human-driven vehicles, but no more. These existing laws are sufficient to address the states' interest in assessing road safety.
- Support policies that promote the investment in the infrastructure needed to enable and support autonomous vehicle operations.

So many people in my life are struggling with either potentially compromising health issues or career problems - or both, sometimes compounded with tricky personal stuff to boot. It really seems to be a rough kind of life out there.
These days I wake up and try again and again each day to remind myself that, in fact, this seems to be the way life actually is. Life is suffering. In one way or another this is the truth - a Noble Truth in fact. Without reminding ourselves of this simple concept we can easily fall into an awful trap - believing that life can be any other way. Or, more damagingly, that life should be some other way. This is not to exclude joy or wellbeing - we can have that too, on many levels. As we change and the world around us changes however, even these things are transient - in themselves therefore potential sources of pain, discomfort, disappointment and suffering. Accepting this scenario as the likely reality is in many ways not only the path of least resistance but also a beginning of wisdom and a path to a fuller joy. Right now, to me this seems to be our reason here.
One way and another I have ended up back in Mysore again! After Dad and R left I stayed and am still here. I am of course practicing yoga - but am not with any of the teachers here, preferring instead to practice at home in my little apartment. It's very simple and Indian - complete with neighbours next door running a dairy operation. Cue calves being born in the night, 530am milking sessions and a lone sheep which will not shut up! Will be here until the end of May. Then it will be up to the North - to meet an old flatmate who is coming in for a bit of a travel around - starting and finishing in Mumbai. When she has gone home I will have a bit of solo trip into southern Gujarat.
In July and August I have arranged to do another internship in Jaipur, Rajasthan, with a similar Microfinance NGO to the one I spent time with in Hyderabad. Apparently it will have cooled off a little up there by that time. At the moment it is in the high 40sC. I will be very interested to gain a little insight into the different state of development that the Self Help Group model of MF has reached in Rajasthan. Andhra is the flagship state as far as this goes - elsewhere in the country it is relatively early days and Rajasthan is well known as one of the more culturally conservative states. So, a different context altogether. I will be working with the Centre for Microfinance in Jaipur. Anyone who fancies a visit while I am there will be more than welcome - though at the moment I am not sure of the accommodation situation. Obviously I am aiming to be comfortable...

One of the most embarrassing attempts at economic development over the last five years has been Michigan's Cool Cities initiative. The state woke up to the Internet boom about four years after the industry went bust, and decided in 2003 to focus on attracting creative workers, not just industrial companies.
This strategy, adopted by just about every other state in the mid-90s, meant showcasing lifestyle benefits, and referencing the work of every author who had written some "knowledge worker" hype piece in 1995. Needless to say, Flint hasn't become the next Austin, and VCs have yet to start camping out in Grand Rapids.
Just to make sure this silly economic development strategy fails, jittery Lansing Mayor Virg Bernero (seriously he's like Tweak from South Park) is telling anyone who'll listen that we need to re-write all of our trade agreements and stop letting all those foreign imports into this country. I understand that the mayor, who really should switch to decaf, is trying to protect the autoworkers who voted for him and the unions who funded him. Problem is if you're trying to attract new workers and new industries, chances are really good they're going to have customers overseas, and will need those trade agreements to sell products.
Much like the Internet bubble, it's time to put Cool Cities into the history books. Lansing has every right to protect its current workers from foreign competition. It just needs to stop expecting people who sell to foreigners to move there.

Understanding Human Development
K. Warner Schaie I am pleased to write a foreword for this interesting volume, particularly as over many years, I have had the privilege of interacting with the editors and a majority of the con tributors in various professional roles as a colleague, mentor, or research collaborator. The editors begin their introduction by asking why one would want to read yet another book on human development. They immediately answer their question by pointing out that many developmentally oriented texts and other treatises neglect the theoretical foundations of human development and fail to embed psychological constructs within the multidisciplinary context so essential to understanding development. This volume provides a positive remedy to past deficiencies in volumes on hu man development with a well-organized structure that leads the reader from a general introduction through the basic processes to methodological issues and the relation of developmental constructs to social context and biological infrastructure. This approach does not surprise. After all, the editors and most of the contributors at one time or an other had a connection to the Max Planck Institute of Human Development in Berlin, whether as students, junior scientists, or senior visitors. That institute, under the leader ship of Paul Baltes, has been instrumental in pursuing a systematic lifespan approach to the study of cognition and personality. Over the past two decades, it has influenced the careers of a generation of scientists who have advocated long-term studies of human development in an interdisciplinary context.

Cradle cap, also known as infantile or neonatal seborrhoeic dermatitis, crusta lactea, milk crust, honeycomb disease, is a yellowish, patchy, greasy, scaly and crusty skin rash that occurs on the scalp of recently born babies. It is usually not itchy and does not bother the baby. Cradle cap most commonly begins sometime in the first 3 months. Similar symptoms in older children are more likely to be dandruff than cradle cap. The rash is often prominent around the ear, the eyebrows or the eyelids. It may appear in other locations as well, where it is called seborrhoeic dermatitis rather than cradle cap. Some countries use the term pityriasis capitis for cradle cap. It is extremely common, with about half of all babies affected. Most of them have a mild version of the disorder. Severe cradle cap is rare.
Cradle cap is common in infants due to maternal androgens, affecting up to 70% of infants during the first 3 months of life. Incidence is slightly higher among male patients than among female patients & accounts to 3.0% & 2.6% respectively.
A treatment with a mild dandruff shampoo such as Selsun Blue or Neutrogena T-gel, even though the treatment may cause initial additional scalp irritation. A doctor may instead prescribe an antifungal soap such as ketoconazole (2%) shampoo, which can work in a single treatment and shows significantly less irritation than over-the-counter shampoos such as selenium disulfide shampoos. In cases that are related to fungal infection, such as Tinea capitis, doctors may recommend a treatment application of clotrimazole or miconazole.
The ongoing researches in Israel on cradle cap include: Prognosis of cradle cap, Treatment of moderate to severe facial seborrheic dermatitis with itraconazole.

Here's the post from our Visioning Project site where I summed up my success at meeting my goals:
Here it is the middle of September. How did that happen? If I had to sum up my success over the past year, I'd say really good, considering! Without going into irrelevant detail, the "considering" involved an unexpected family illness that had me away from home more than expected, but all is well now.
Here it is the middle of September. How did that happen? If I had to sum up my success over the past year, I'd say really good, considering! Without going into irrelevant detail, the "considering" involved an unexpected family illness that had me away from home more than expected, but all is well now.
There is something exciting and motivating about the "Back to School" feeling that hits me every September. The evenings are darker and wetter and much more conducive to moving from the garden to the studio. As I look back on successes and failures, it's not too surprising. Too many distractions, not enough studio time. I need to be flexible but diligent about my studio time. I need to learn to say 'no' to more things in order to say yes to the studio. I could probably blame Pinterest for a big chunk of lost studio time. It really does suck me in. I justify it to myself in saying that I'm just learning about art and art quilting, and I learn a lot from looking at other quilts, but at some point I need to "just do it," not think about it.
But on a positive note, here's what I accomplished between September 2012 and September 2013. I hope to post my 2013-14 goals in the next week or so.
I think I met my general goals, which were deliberately pretty vague:
· Learn everything I possibly can about composition and color. In addition to the formal learning I discuss below, I read several books about color, abstraction and as much as I could find about composition. I also read some blogs and other informational internet sites.
|"Strip Piecing #8"
· Find my "voice," or at least keep searching for it.
I can't say it's totally clear but I do know that I've found something that makes my heart sing. That's a funny term, but there is just this amazing feeling I get when I'm in that creative zone. Heart songs are the opposite of heartaches, I guess. This most recent piece I've done is an example.
· Continue to hone technical skills.
I think I did well on this too. In addition to my art quilts I spent some time creating paper pieced stars and worked on about a dozen Dear Jane blocks. Both helped me to be more precise when needed. I don't ever see my work evolving into something that requires a lot of precision sewing, but I think an artist needs every tool available and improvisation and spontaneity are not excuses to be sloppy. I know that in my last two pieces I've done a lot more of ripping and redoing work that was not sewed to my standard, so I'd say I've improved in that area.
I was just "okay" with the specific goals – B- or C+ maybe?
- Work Work Work! Put in the time. Well, I did the best I could. Life happens, and a full time job doesn't help, but I did develop a routine that at times worked very well – getting up earlier I the morning in order to put in as much as 1.5 hours – ideally between 7:15 – 8:45. This was a major effort for someone who is definitely NOT a morning person. I have to work at streamlining the morning to NOT touch the computer, shower and dress right away and take my coffee to the studio. After the intensity of the first two classes in September, October and November, I was brain dead an in the midst of the holidays. I ended up piecing a cute bed quilt for my granddaughter, just to do something mindless. That was against my resolution to NOT do functional sewing project, but each grandchild needs a quilt! And there are two more waiting. I got back to getting things ready to show at the Crow Workshops in January and February, that was when I finished up the WIS tops. Then there was another big brain-dead lull between finishing the workshops in mid March, going on vacation for two weeks, then spending two more weeks with my brother after an illness in May and June. It was only in August and September that I got back in to the creative mindset and finished my last two pieces.
- Focus on working In a series, and complete at least five major pieces in one series. Well, what does "major" mean? I produced either 4 or 7 pieces in the Series workshop, and have completed two more since then. I guess that could qualify.
- Enter a piece in "Perspectives, Fantasy & Reality" Entry Deadline in November 2012
|"Tipping Point" in the Whatcom Museum
I did not do this. The "Maps" theme is one I love, but not one I have worked on and since I was doing the Working in a Series workshop at the time, there wasn't enough time for both. I did push myself to do something for a SAQA call (Text Messages) which was also outside of my "strip piecing comfort zone" but also something I'm really interested in exploring. It wasn't accepted, but I didn't really expect it would be. On a positive note, I did make a quilt for an open call at our local art museum on the theme of climate change. Even though I knew they accepted anything and everything, it was still a thrill to see my work in the art museum.
- Have five new quilt tops ready for the Nancy Crow workshop, in addition to the two that were started earlier this year. I guess I had five new ones done, the ones from the Series workshop. I felt more like they were "studies" than finished works of art, but at least I had something to show.
1. Completed the Working in a Series Workshop with Lisa Call – and seven quilt tops (Was supposed to be five, but I decided the unfinished #5 would remain in three pieces, hence #5, 6, and 7. How's that for lemonade out of lemons??) I really enjoyed the class, and Lisa is very organized, and experienced. The biggest thing that came out of it was the experience of working intensely in the studio on a regular basis, and how rewarding it is to produce work when you commit time to doing it!
2. Completed the Color in Art class, which included color theory which was not new to me, but good to review, and learning to mix colors with oil paint. I would never have done this on my own, but I LOVED it. You become much more aware of how colors change and relate to each other when you are creating them yourself. I am fascinated by the Albers "Interaction of Color" studies, and hope to experiment with some of them in fabric soon.
3. Completed two weeks of workshops with Nancy Crow –"Improvisations – Let's Experiment!" and "Lines, Curves, Circles & Figure Ground." There is nothing to compare with a Nancy Crow workshop, except maybe architecture school. It is intense, emotional, and you learn more than you ever imagined you could. Nancy claims her one-week workshops are the equivalent of a semester class in art school, and I really believe it.
One thing I am torn about in the coming year, is how much to continue making quilt tops, and how much time to spend on quilting itself. Nancy Crow puts a big emphasis on producing lots of quilt tops as pieced studies, and less emphasis on finishing them. I know they will not all be worthy, but I think I really need the free motion quilting practice, so I intend to quilt them all, even if they just turn into practice pieces. That in mind, I am working backwards from the ugliest ones first, so the most amateur work is there, not on the ones I love. Does that sound goofy?
I need to mull over my goals for the coming year a little bit more, but I know they will include holding myself more responsible for posting here, and commenting on others posts.

If you do a search then Barca will find the messages in pocosys.today and any messages without attachments can be copied back out. Trying to do this with messages with attachements encoded crashes Barca and the attachments appera to be lost for good.
Probably safer to use drag and drop (which prevents copying to special boxes) for now.

Scooter Gennett, a 27-year professional baseball player, is certainly of the right age to remember the Razor Scooter craze that swept the nation in the year 2000. The aluminum-framed scooter affixed with 98mm polyurethane wheels sold over 5 million units in its first six months of production, enabling little nine-year old demons to zip around basketball courts everywhere and fall over hilariously like this. Whether Gennett owned a Razor Scooter, and whether that influenced his decision to go by 'Scooter' instead of his birth-name Ryan, is another story.
But Gennett's sudden rise to prominence over the last month certainly bears a resemblance to the sudden and unexpected dominance of the Razor Scooter. Gennett, who made his major league debut in 2013 with the Milwaukee Brewers and was claimed off waivers by the Cincinnati Reds in March, smacked 38 home runs in approximately 500 career games prior to June 6th, 2017. That night, in a game against the St. Louis Cardinals, Gennett became the 17th player in MLB history to hit four home runs in a game. Since then Gennett added another eight home runs, bringing his career total to 50, a 31.6% increase over the amount he had when the calendar rolled over to June.
Since June 6th, Gennett is tied for second in the majors in home runs with 12, is second in slugging percentage at .776 and second in isolated slugging percentage at .418. For the 5'10", 185lbs Gennett, who never hit more than nine home runs at any minor league level and previously profiled as a meek-hitting slap hitter, to be in the company of Aaron Judge, George Springer and Cody Bellinger in a variety of power statistics is damn impressive.
With that said, we've all seen one-month power surges from unlikely candidates before. Yankees' left fielder Shane Spencer hit 10 home runs to go along with an absurd .910 slugging percentage across 73 plate appearances in 1998, but subsequently failed to cement himself as an MLB regular and eventually retired only six years later. Glenalen Hill, a decent but unspectacular journeyman outfielder, hit 16 home runs in 143 plate appearances at the age of 35 for the Yankees in 2000 after being acquired from the Cubs. He retired shortly thereafter.
Gennett has improved across the board offensively from his previous two seasons with the Brewers. His BABIP, average, on-base percentage, home runs, HR/AB ratio, slugging percentage wRC+ are all vastly improved in 2017. In particular, his HR/AB ratio has skyrocketed from a paltry 2.8% to a robust 7.2%, a 2.5x increase. The increased home runs are a large driver of the increased slugging percentage and wRC+. But the BABIP, which was in a respectable range of .309 to .315 with the Brewers, has also gone up quite a bit to .347, which underlies the increased batting average and on-base percentage as well. Thus, the two central questions we need to ask are 1) is Gennett's increased home run prowess real and sustainable? and 2) is his increased ability to generate hits on balls in play sustainable?
Increased power
Gennett's diminutive stature and lack of historical power draw skepticism to his recent home run ability. Sure enough, Gennett operated at a pip-squeak home run to fly ball ratio of 6.7% in 2015 and improved that to 10.5% in 2016. However, this season he's swatting a home run on a robust 25.4% of all his fly balls. That type of HR/FB ratio is normally reserved for the game's elite power hitters, and sure enough the names dotted around Gennett's 23rd placement on the 2017 HR/FB list are traditional sluggers like Ryan Braun, Joey Gallo, Scott Schebler and Ryan Zimmerman.
Gennett's sudden surge in converting fly ball outs to home runs doesn't pass the sniff test on the surface, but let's delve deeper into the numbers. First off, Gennett is hitting more fly balls than ever this season, continuing an upward trend from 29.8% in 2015 to 34.5% in 2016 and finally 37.3% in 2017. While 37.3% is not an overly impressive flyball metric, it's above average and shows that Gennett has changed his approach to swing for the fences a bit more.
Arguably the most important factor in determining whether a flyball is a home run is whether it's pulled or not. Generally speaking, flyballs to center result in outs in most ballparks due to extended field dimensions compared to the corners of the outfield. Most hitters also have difficulty consistently hitting home runs to the opposite field, so the fact that Gennett increased his flyball pull percentage from 14.4% in 2015 to 30.5% in 2017 is a good sign. For some perspective, Gennett's 30.5% flyball pull rate ranks 63rd out of 274 qualifying batters this season.
Not only is Gennett hitting more flyballs, and pulling those flyballs more, but he is also hitting those pulled flyballs much harder. His 33.3% flyball hard hit rate in 2015 was fairly average, and he improved on that marginally in 2016 to 36.8%. But Gennett has found a new gear in 2017, laying the wood to flyballs an elite 54.2% of the time, which ranks 13th in the majors. As a corollary to his increased batted ball authority on flyballs, Gennett's soft hit percentage on flyballs has plummeted from 25.6% to 13.6%.
The last item to consider in Gennett's batted ball profile is his tendency to hit barrels. For a refresher, barrels are batted balls struck at the ideal exit velocity and launch angle to produce hits, typically extra-base hits. Barrels produce a batting average of over .500 and a slugging percentage of 1.500, so the more barrels the better for a hitter. Sure enough, Gennett's barrels per batted ball ratio has increased over seven-fold from his 2015 season to 7.5% in 2017.
Putting it all together, Gennett is hitting more flyballs, pulling those flyballs more, hitting those flyballs harder and is hitting a lot more barrels overall. At this point we can safely determine that Gennett's home run surge is not simply a fluke. Whether pitchers will begin to adjust to his new approach, and whether he can sustain a 25.4% HR/FB rate are different questions. Given Gennett's batted ball authority improvements, I think it's reasonable that he sustains a HR/FB rate in the low 20%s. That, combined with his current flyball ratio in the upper 30%s, would make him a consistent 30 home run hitter over a full season.
Increased batting average
Gennett's 2017 batting average of .311 is a career high, largely built on a BABIP of .347. While Gennett is certainly hitting the ball harder this season, the changes in his swing profile do not suggest that a .347 BABIP is sustainable moving forward.
For starters, hitting more flyballs generally leads to a lower BABIP, not a higher one. The reasons are evidenced by Gennett's flyball BABIPs going back to 2015. He's been fairly consistent, landing a hit in the field of play on .155 to .178 of his flyballs hit. Grounders typically produce slightly better BABIP rates, and we can see Gennett has been fairly consistent in his performance on those as well, occupying a range of .238 to .250 since 2017. So, without any real change in BABIP ability on flyballs and groundballs, we should see a reduction in BABIP by trading groundballs for flyballs overall.
Where Gennett has seen a real spike is his BABIP on line drives, up from .650 in 2016 to .833 in 2017. While Gennett is hitting the ball harder this year, landing a hit on 5/6 of all line drives is an absurd number, one that is actually top 10 in baseball in 2017. For some added perspective, over the two years from June 2015 to June 2017, the league median line drive BABIP was around .685. Some of the betters hitters in the league maintain LD BABIP figures above .750, however that probably shouldn't be the expectation for Gennett moving forward.
One difference in Gennett's line drives this season is that far more of them are pulled. To be honest I don't know quite what to make of that. Pulling groundballs hurts BABIP, but if a ball is hit on a rope it might not matter whether it's hit to the pull or opposite side. Either way, we shouldn't expect Gennett to maintain a .833 BABIP on line drives.
Using Mike Podhorzer's xBABIP calculator, Gennett should be running somewhere around a .320 BABIP in 2017 based on his current peripherals. This makes sense, as it's slightly above his performance in 2015 and 2016, but not overly so because his new power stroke limits the occurrence of hits in the field of play.
If Gennett's strikeout rates remain in the low 20%s, a BABIP regression to the .320 range would make him a .280 average hitter.
In summary
Much to my surprise, most of Scooter Gennett's gains in power and batting average are supported by real changes in his approach at the plate. More pulled and hard hit fly balls are leading to more extra base hits, while the added batted ball exit velocity has also nudged up his batting average. If he continues to get regular at bats, it's reasonable to expect Gennett to be a .280 AVG / 30 HR player moving forward.

The time needed for the drug to reach steady-state concentrations in red blood cells ranged from six to 140 weeks, Lisa K. Stamp, Ph.D., of the University of Otago here, and colleagues reported in the November issue of Arthritis Care & Research.
And it took from 4.5 to six weeks before methotrexate became undetectable in red blood cells, they said.
Methotrexate is the first-line agent for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis and is suggested to be the "anchor" drug in rheumatoid arthritis therapy, they said.
Joint damage occurs early in the course of the disease and once present is largely irreversible. Thus, the primary goal of therapy is to achieve rapid, effective disease control to prevent long-term damage to joint structure and function.
But the methotrexate dose required for individual patients varies and is largely unpredictable. Correlations have been both positive and negative in various studies.
Thus knowledge of the pharmacokinetics of methotrexate and its glutamate moieties (Glu 1-5) is required for the optimal timing of blood sampling.
These include the time required to achieve adequate concentrations in patients starting treatment as well as the time to elimination from red blood cells, the researchers said.
The aims of this study were two-fold: first to determine the
time to steady state and the half-life of accumulation of red blood cell (RBC) methotrexate Glu 1-5 in patients starting oral methotrexate.
Second, to determine the time it took for methotrexate glutamates to become undetectable in red blood cells as well as the half-life of elimination of RBC methotrexate in patients ceasing treatment with the oral drug.
The study included 10 patients beginning treatment and 10 patients stopping treatment after at least three months with low-dose oral methotrexate stable for at least a month. Patients were recruited from October 2005 to October 2007.
Blood samples were initially collected weekly, with gradual extension to monthly collection over the study period. Patients were seen at eight, 16, and 24 weeks.
RBC methotrexate Glu 1-5 concentrations were assayed by high-performance liquid chromatography and analyzed with a first-order exponential method.
The median times to reach steady state in red blood cells (90% of the maximum concentration) for methotrexate glutamates 1 thru 5 were 6.2, 10.6, 41.2, 149, and 139.8 weeks, respectively.
The median half-life of accumulation for RBC methotrexate Glu1-5 ranged from 1.9 weeks to 45.2 weeks.
The median times for methotrexate glutamates 1 thru 5 to become undetectable in red blood cells were 4.5, 5.5, 10, six, and four weeks, respectively.
The median half-life of elimination for RBC methotrexate glutamates ranged from 1.2 weeks to 4.3 weeks.
Drugs that accumulate and are eliminated by simple first-order pharmacokinetic mechanisms usually accumulate and are eliminated at approximately the same rate, the researchers said.
The data from this study, however, suggest that the median rate of elimination is more rapid than the median rate of accumulation. This may be related to the lifespan of the red blood cells.
The gradual loss of red blood cells from the circulation, combined with the ongoing production of new cells, provides a "dilutional effect" when methotrexate dosing ceases. The red blood cell lifespan may also contribute to the delay in achieving steady state, although this is less clear from the data presented here, they said.
There was significant inter-patient variability in the measured red blood cell concentrations of the drug. This variation was not explained by age.
Also, the study suggested a correlation between renal impairment and an increased drug concentration, but further study in a larger population is required to substantiate this finding, they said.
Study limitations included its small size and the fact that participants stopping methotrexate should have been included only after receiving a stable drug dose for six months.
In addition the concentration-time profiles for accumulation and elimination of the drug suggest the need for a more complex analysis.
All told, they said, the variability in time till RBC methotrexate concentrations reach steady state after initiation and dose adjustment may limit the use of RBC methotrexate glutamates as a therapeutic monitoring tool in clinical practice.
These data, they added, also suggest that after a dose change, more than six months are required for RBC methotrexate polyglutamate to reach a steady state.
Such delays in achieving a steady state suggest that more rapid oral dose escalation or subcutaneous administration from the onset of treatment should be considered.

My life slows to an easy pace. The days are short and wet in winter in Rome. I watch the two children every weekday from 1-7:30pm, so my mornings are long and lazy. I don't rush out of bed, instead I linger and piddle around on my laptop reading blogs. I should get more into a routine. But I am LOVING having the mornings to myself, to stay in my pajamas until I have to work. I don't even feel guilty about not going out early to see bits of Rome before the tourists swarm the city. The rain keeps me captive in my little cozy flat. And I've been a willing prisoner too!
1) my typical breakfast-in-bed served on a silver platter by me, for me. ;)
2) shelves and the trinkets I've lugged around in my baggage from one destination to the next.
3) my 'headboard'='Bon Voyage' bunting, an old map calendar I've made into a collage of Bible verses about the WORLD, and my Baltic-Sea-driftwood-souvenir that's had heads turning every time I carry it around wrapped like a bow. You should have seen me at the airport! Ha!
4-5) my newly acquired handmade genuine Italian leather shoes. January is the month to shop in Italy. Sales galore!
6) view from my lazy winter mornings in bed

Almost all students have played an instrument at some point of their life. However, according to Music Parent,"almost 50% of student musicians quit, unable to enjoy the experience that they've had with music." There are many reasons that a young student may quit an instrument. Some may not being musical interested, busy with other activities, repulsed by practicing, or even the musical teachers they may have. But what about the other 50% who have continued with their music? The difficulty of having to concentrate on both academics and music is sometimes overwhelming. Both require time, hard work, and dedication to succeed; so how do our peers and mentors juggle music and obligations, such as school or work?
Natsumi Meyer, student musician and daughter of professional violinists, has a unique experience with violin in her life: "I have a strange relationship with the violin. For me it has always been something that is 'there' for me, whether I like it or not." While Meyer enjoys playing, she says "sometimes it's something that stresses me out with the work that comes with it, or something I'm dreading." However, violin is more than just an additional source of stress for her. According to Meyer, "other times it's like a little sanctuary for me. The process of playing and practicing violin is something that is very predictable for me, just from experience, and in that way it can be a comfortable routine."
Her mother, Ms. Hashizume, member of the Cleveland Orchestra, traveled from Tokyo to the United States to pursue her passion for music. Unlike Meyer's small periods of practicing a day, she practices about two hours daily along with the three to four hours of orchestra time. Both have similar points of view on their social worlds regarding music. Meyer states, "I appreciate violin playing for the opportunities it has provided for me to meet new kids. I've been able to connect with a lot of great people through chamber and orchestral music," and Hashizume adds, "It is hard to socialize with non-musicians because I work when they relax. I have to work in the evenings and on the weekends when other people relax. But I do have close friends who are musicians as well. The orchestras is very close-knit."
Sergio Castellanos, the Hawken Music Director, finds the relationship between school and music to be extremely important: "Students need music in their lives to help relieve from the pain of schoolwork. When you are overwhelmed, there will be days where you need music to keep your mind off the stresses in your life."
It's easy to see the importance of music, but how has playing an instrument changed the lives of both student and professional musicians? After being asked how the violin has affected her life, Meyer answers, "growing up surrounded in the musical world has contributed to the large community I am enhanced by." Hashizume chimes in similarly: "Violin has changed the way I lived. It is the reason I came to America and without it I wouldn't have had the same opportunities and experiences in my life." Castellanos explains about the differences in music between his childhood and now, saying, "There is more structure here in America with their strengths of music. Hawken is fortunate to have programs to offer students, that relate to music, so that every class has the opportunity grow with their own musical experiences."
Obviously not everyone can have the same experiences that Meyer, Castellanos, and Hashizume have had in their lives. For anyone who wants to be successful in both music and academics, they encourage any budding musicians to work hard and spend their time wisely. Even though being a musician, especially under the pressure of school, may sometimes cause Meyer to want to pull her hair out, there's nothing she would do to change her life, and she hopes that many other musicians feel the same.
