Brief Biography
Dr. Erwin Oechslin moved to Toronto from Zurich, Switzerland, in January 2006, to take on the Directorship of the Congenital Cardiac Centre for Adults located at the Peter Munk Cardiac Centre, University Health Network, Toronto General Hospital.
Dr. Oechslin's research interests include long-term outcomes of patients with congenital heart disease, cyanotic congenital heart disease, psychological sequelae, evaluation of ventricular performance and interventricular interaction by echocardiography, and non-compaction of the myocardium. He has written more than peer-reviewed 90 publications and 8 book chapters and has co-edited one book.
Dr. Oechslin graduated from the University of Zurich (Switzerland) in 1982. He received his doctorate of medicine from the University of Zurich in 1985. After a broad training in medicine, he obtained his certification in Internal Medicine and Cardiology by the Swiss Medical Association (FMH, Foederatio Medicorum Helveticorum) in 1995.
His major interest has been focused on congenital heart disease since 1995: after completion of a one year fellowship in pediatric cardiology at the Hospital for Sick Children in Zurich in 1995, he continued his training in adult congenital heart disease at the Toronto Congenital Cardiac Centre for Adults under the supervision of Dr. Gary Webb in 1996 and 1997. He established the Adult Congenital Heart Disease Program at the University Hospital in Zurich after his return in 1998 and worked as a staff physician in the heart failure / transplant clinic (Director: Prof. W. Kiowski) until 2001 and in the echocardiography laboratory (Director: Prof. R. Jenni) until 2005.
He was awarded a fellowship of the European Society of Cardiology in 2002.
Research Interests
Long-standing interests in the long-term outcome of congenital heart disease, psychological sequelae, cyanotic congenital heart disease, non-invasive assessment of ventricular function by new echocardiographic techniques, and non-compaction of the ventricular myocardium.

Book Description: Story & Art by Kanoko Sakurakouji
He loves her blood, but does he love her?!
There is a world of myth and magic that intersects ours, and only a special few can see it. Misao Harada is one such person, and she wants nothing to do with magical realms. She just wants to have a normal high school life and maybe get a boyfriend.
But she is the bride of demon prophecy, and her blood grants incredible powers, her flesh immortality. Now the demon realm is fighting over the right to her hand...or her life!
Despite knowing that it spells her doom, Misao is determined to bear her child. But her insistence on enjoying her last days to the fullest only fuels Kyo's determination to save her. Kyo is so desperate for answers that he's even willing to listen to his father's wild ideas, although though they might put Misao as far beyond his reach as death would…

I got this copy from Barns and noble (same time I bought Volumes 4-17) in store for $9.99 plus tax, it's priced the same online. Unless you would like it for a Nook I believe its $5.99. The ranged age still hasn't been change "Older teen 16+". Yet again the cover art is beautiful, the gorgeous blue yukata kimono that Lady Misao has on is wonderful. It even shows that she's with child. Her face shows that shes calm yet sad, though at peace. Shes enjoying the colors of the leaves changing. Lord Kyo graciously holds her close to himself, with a look of pain, frustration and sadness.
As Lord Kyo tries vigorously to find an answer to Lady Misao situation their relationship falls on hard times. They start fighting over the smallest of things. Lord Kyo's father comes to visit her mother when she's home. Lady Misao talks things out with him, only to be reassured that they shouldn't look at this time as if it had a limit. They should keep being themselves living their lives together come what may.
Lord Kyo finally comes to terms with the pregnancy, and deiced to be by Lady Misao's side till the very end. Only offering love and support. I'm not giving to much information on the volume only so that I don't ruin the ending for someone whom hasn't read it yet. But let me tell you this, its full of hard times, love, caring, and acceptance. If only men were really wholeheartedly like this most of the time. Though it will leave a lot of open ending thoughts. Only hoping that they will be explained in the next up coming volume.
I would like to apologize for not enough pictures for this volume. Most of the English translations are not on the internet yet. When they become available I will gladly up date this post with them.
I'm sad that we have to say goodbye for right now to all the wonderful characters in this great manga. Can't wait to see what happens next. Miss you guys already, its been quite the journey. A Special thank you to the wonderful creator of this great series. Please keep up with the great work.
{I choice this song to go with the feeling of this volume. Hopefully you enjoy it. "Paul Cardall - Sign of Affection"}
Volume 18
We get one more volume from what I've found, sadly though I think its the last book in the series! An man I really wanted to know what was going to happen!!!! Guhh.... *Sighs* Guess will just have to wait till its released in March of next year!!! *WAH!!* It is available for pre-order online from Barns and Noble. Once again I have that needing feeling to learn Japanese again. Yet that would be the seventh language I've learned in this lifetime. Hopefully you have enjoyed this series just as much as me. And hope to see you back again when the next volume is out.

TWO fledgling firms will be flying the flag for the region in the national finals of the Local Business Accelerator (LBA) campaign.
The Walton-based Dance Passion Community Interest Company was selected from Merseyside entries, while High Street Spa, from Hoole, will represent the Chester area.
LBA was launched last year in an initiative by regional newspapers around the UK, co-ordinated by the Newspaper Society, aimed at encouraging more small firm start-ups and helping existing companies flourish in these tough economic times.
The scheme was backed by Prime Minister David Cameron, CBI director general John Cridland and Dragons' Den TV star Deborah Meaden.
Newspapers committed £15m of free advertising for winners from the regional heats, and an overall winner in a grand final this summer.
The regional winners will also receive free business mentoring from local experts, but the finalists selected from the heats will be competing for a year's free mentoring from Deborah Meaden and an advertising campaign created by a top London ad agency.
Having identified regional contenders, Trinity Mirror Merseyside has now nominated its finalists to vie for the top prize that could propel their business to the next stage of success.
Dance Passion Community Interest Company was founded in 2010 by Claire Roberts who works with more than 500 people each week, from local schools to Primary Care Trusts.
Judges hailed it as "a small company with a big future who would truly benefit from the right mentoring and advice".
High Street Spa was also launched in 2010, by Katy Robinson, to provide affordable quality treatments as well as training for beauty therapists.
The judging panel said: "This is a business with plenty of ideas, bags of creativity and big ambitions."

If you had to jot down a list of foods that should be included in a healthy diet, chances are you'd rattle off virtuous options like grilled chicken, salmon, blueberries, brown rice, broccoli, and kale. And you'd be absolutely right. Study after study has shown that eating mostly vegetables, fruits, whole grains, and lean protein while having less than 15 g saturated fat and 1,500 mg sodium a day is the surest way to see the number on the scale drop -- and improve your overall health.
But what if we told you that cookies and bacon are sometimes allowed, too? "If you're super restrictive with your diet, you are practically guaranteeing a future rebellion," says David Katz, M.D., founding director of Yale University's Prevention Research Center and author of the new book Disease Proof. "You'll constantly feel like you're suffering, and temptation is going to become stronger than your willpower, putting you at risk for a binge."
In fact, recent research from Skidmore College has shown that people on a weight loss plan who "cheat" -- either once a week or a little every day -- still lose a significant amount of weight and body fat. For example, in one four-month study, dieters who treated themselves daily lost 12 pounds and 4 percent of their body fat. And one year later, most had maintained the loss. "Providing people with the chance to indulge assures them that it's OK to give in to temptation sometimes, which helps them stick to healthy choices most of the time," explains professor Paul Arciero, the lead study author and director of the Human Nutrition and Metabolism Laboratory at Skidmore College.
Cheat on a diet and still lose weight? It's almost too good to be true, but a measured approach means you can have your cake and eat it, too. Check out our guidelines so you can do it the right way.
1. Have a game plan. Come up with a rule about how often you can indulge. For example, allow yourself to eat fries just once a week, says Carolyn O'Neil, R.D., author of The Slim Down South Cookbook. That way you'll feel in control, and when you do have the treat, you won't feel guilty.
2. Make portion control a no-brainer. "It may be cost-effective to buy a value-size container of chips, but that makes it way too easy to keep going back for more," says David Grotto, R.D., author of The Best Things You Can Eat. "Pay a little more for the individually portioned snacks (you can usually find them in bulk at wholesale stores), and you won't be tempted to work your way through a whole bag."
3. Keep trigger foods far, far away. "Most people have at least one food that they can't stop eating," says Cheryl Forberg, R.D., author of Flavor First and the chef and nutritionist for The Biggest Loser. "Remove temptation by taking a moment and thinking about what your weaknesses are. Decide then and there to never stock those items in your house."
4. Be present in the moment. "When you do indulge in a special treat, really savor it," Forberg says. "Don't talk on the phone or read a book while you're munching; studies show that people eat more when they're distracted."
5. Be selective. "Coco Chanel famously advised that you should remove at least one accessory before leaving the house. Use that same fashion philosophy when planning a cheat meal," O'Neil says. "If you want a bacon cheeseburger, cheese fries, and a milkshake, skip one or two so you don't go overboard." For example, do the cheeseburger but have a kid-size order of fries and skip the milkshake.
6. Pick sweet or salty -- not both. "The appetite center in your brain responds independently to different flavors," Katz says. "So when you have something sweet with something salty, your brain will let you eat a lot more before you feel satisfied. If you mix the two, you'll end up devouring more of both."
7. Cut back on added sugar and sodium. "When you eat sugary and salty foods all day long, it takes a lot more sodium and sugar for your brain to register those tastes," Katz says. "But if you cut out extra sweeteners or sodium in your non-splurge foods, you won't have to eat as many chips or cookies to get to that happy place where you feel like you've treated yourself."
8. Snap back ASAP. Don't let your splurge turn into a slippery slope. "What you want to avoid is eating one unhealthy thing and then telling yourself, Oh, well, the whole day is ruined so I might as well keep bingeing and start fresh in the morning, Forberg says. Post-treat, get right back on the wagon and carry on with your normal healthy eating and exercise habits.

remote beauty & adventure
Over the last 21 years we have been in operation, we are delighted to say that we know all the best campsites in this beautiful country for the perfect Zambia safari. And what we have discovered is that the more remote they are, the better they are. If you like the idea of meeting friendly Zambians, visiting local villages and really sinking your teeth into some Zambian culture then these campsites could well be for you (4×4 necessary!)
