Urodynamics Equipment and Disposables Market: Emerging Market Trends, Share and Growth Analysis
Press Release • Feb 13, 2017 04:51 EST
Urodynamics studies consist of a series of examinations that are useful for obtaining functional information regarding bladder filling, emptying and urine storage. Urodynamics tests are generally performed in individuals suffering from various urological conditions such as urinary incontinence, stress incontinence and lower urinary tract symptoms.
PDF Containing the Upcoming Market Analysis of Urodynamics Equipment and Disposables is available at: http://bit.ly/2kYQHAm
Urodynamic tests include a range of medical investigations that are useful to obtain functional information about bladder filling, clearing, and urine storage. The primary objective of urodynamics is to understand if there are problems in the lower urinary tract by duplicating the visible symptoms and determining the cause of these symptoms to formulate an appropriate treatment course for bladder dysfunction.
Urodynamic investigations range from simple medical observations to accurate medical measurements employing advanced urodynamics equipment that varies from patient to patient. A survey carried out among non-pregnant women in the U.S. revealed that the risk and the incidence of urinary incontinence increases with age. In general, urinary incontinence is prevalent in 3.9% of women between 20 and 29 years of age, 15% of women between 40 and 49 years of age, 25% of women between 60 and 69 years of age, and 38% of women 80 years of age and above. Furthermore, as per the U.S. National Institutes of Health, presently, almost 20 million women and 6 million men suffer from urinary incontinence in the country. Thus, to cater to the needs of a large patient pool suffering from urological dysfunction, an effective diagnostic solution is needed. This will drive the global market for urodynamics equipment and disposables in the coming years.
By product type, the global urodynamics equipment and disposables market is divided into urodynamics disposables, video urodynamics systems, electromyographs, ambulatory urodynamics systems, cystometers, and uroflowmetry equipment. The segment of uroflowmetry equipment led the global urodynamics equipment and disposables market in terms of revenue in 2013. This segment benefits from the easy availability of the equipment and high patient and clinician preference.Nevertheless, it is the ambulatory urodynamics systems market that is projected to grow at the highest rate in the global urodynamics equipment and disposables market during the forecast period. The ambulatory urodynamics segment benefits from its widespread market availability, usage of advanced microprocessor technology, and portable design. These features of ambulatory urodynamic devices help them deliver reliable test outcomes.
In the disposables segment, air-charged catheters held the largest market share in 2013. The air-charged catheters segment is projected to lead the global urodynamics disposable market and expand at the highest CAGR of 6.70% during the forecast period. This segment is driven by features of air-charged catheters such as the absence of air-bubble interference, presence of weightless air column, and ease of handling.On the basis of geography, the global urodynamics equipment and disposables market is classified into Asia Pacific, Europe, North America, and Rest of the World (RoW). In 2013, North America dominated the global urodynamics equipment and disposables market with a market share of more than 40%. Some of the factors driving this regional urodynamics equipment and disposables market are the presence of a large number of testing centers in the region and the high adoption rate of urodynamics tests among urogynecologists and urologists.
Read the Current Market Status of Urodynamics Equipment and Disposables at: http://www.transparencymarketresearch.com/urodynamics-equipment-disposables-market.html
The global urodynamics equipment and disposables market will continue to grow steadily in the coming few years due to the growing geriatric population, which would boost the demand for urodynamics equipment and disposables. Furthermore, the market will also get a boost from the escalating incidence of urological dysfunctions and growing demand for advanced and safe urodynamics equipment. On the other hand, factors such as the growing cases of catheter-associated urinary tract infections (CAUTIs) will suppress the global urodynamics equipment and disposables market. In addition to this, the global urodynamics equipment and disposables market will also be restrained by the unfavorable reimbursement policies.Players in the global urodynamics equipment and disposables market will benefit from the large potential patient pool in emerging economies. The key players operating in the global urodynamics equipment and disposables market are Verathon, Medical Measurement Systems, LABORIE, C.R. Bard, Covidien, American Medical Systems, and Albyn Medical.

tumblr inspiration
I still haven't quite decided if I like the New Year or not. I think there's a lot of expectations that everyone just assumes can be fulfilled by one day- one night- one transition in to another January. There's also a lot of brushing over. People say, "Oh yeah that's fine- it's a new year... start fresh." But with that mindset are we ever fully finishing the canvas, or are we just painting over the scars when it tarnishes the portrait?
I've accomplished a lot this year. This little fragment of my life. I've redeveloped friendships, strengthened them, took exams, proved to my self that I can be brilliant. I've started writing larger novels and sharing them with the world on fanfiction, I've created a youtube. Yet all of these are trivial in comparison: I've breathed. I've lived.
I don't necessarily like looking back and thinking, "Yeah, that was a good year." Because it wasn't. Because it was. Because how can we possibly box 365 days in to a single word: good or bad? Please circle. I prefer to look at moments. Time is scary. I'm scared. I get scared whenever I turn a year older. A year closer in to adulthood. A year more in to the crazy infinity of life and the universe and everything. A year has just gone of me breathing and surviving and living.
And in those days I've felt a thousand different emotions. I've seen a thousand different things through a thousand different view points. I've been me for another whole year...
Because maybe I don't want to put it to bed. Maybe I don't want to hinge everything upon a New Year because whose to say that those moments - my moments- are going to be anymore significant than a moment in another 365 days in the past or future. So I'm only going to set one goal for myself this year: to live. I'm want to braver, I want to be kinder, I want to live because living is what will get to me 2017, 2018, 2019 and so forth.
Let's all live, together.

Hairspray cutie Nikki Blonsky and her father were arrested on assault charges on Friday after a dustup with the family of former America's Next Top Model contestant Bianca Golden at the Providenciales International Airport in Turks and Caicos.
"They were involved in an altercation at the airport in the departure lounge," Sgt. Chase of the Turks and Caicos Islands Police Department tells E! News, adding that the fight was over some saved seats.
Blonsky's rep declined to comment. The 19-year-old Hairspray star was charged with assault and actual bodily harm as well as common assault; her father, Carl, was rung up on a count of inflicting grievous bodily harm. Bianca Golden was also charged with actual bodily harm and assault.
Golden's mother, Elain, was hurt so badly she had to be airlifted to a hospital in Florida, according to Sgt. Chase.
Nikki Blonsky appeared in court this morning sporting a neck brace–"she received some kind of injury," said Chase; a judge allowed her to be released on $6,000 cash bail and ordered to return to court on Dec. 1. Her father is being held until Aug. 8. Golden was also freed on bail.
According to Chase, Golden and Nikki Blonsky's charges carry a maximum penalty of two years, while Carl Blonsky could face up to five years in prison.

The rapper sat down with HYPETRAK Tv (hat suggestion Fashionista) to talk, among the other issues, about the relevance of branding for recording artists currently. "I think that also a lot style awareness as an artist can actually smother you and it can genuinely, seriously distract from your audio," Banks claimed. "I variety of almost got there with it, exactly where it was just like, style, vogue, fashion, vogue, fashion, and I was this fashion darling." She thinks that branding can damage an artist if it really is "not true &mdash if it really is not some thing that you actually like. I genuinely like Alexander Wang and I genuinely shop at ASOS, so it would make sense, but you can very easily get sucked up by the vogue planet, due to the fact they bring artists in to form of make themselves appearance a specified way, and as before long as someone new will come out, they've absolutely forgotten about you. They are so fickle... if you location your religion in the trend entire world, you will get let down as an artist... so it can be incredibly, quite critical to bear in mind what you are below for." But Financial institutions may not be right here for the rap. She instructed HYPETRAK that she isn't going to see herself committing to the genre very long - term, and she could "go again to faculty and acquire voice classes yet again, and do modern jazz." Jazzy!

Former Daily Editor Awarded Pulitzer Fellowship
The Columbia Journalism School recently awarded Nicole Einbinder (B.A. 2016) one of its five annual Pulitzer fellowships. Graduates selected for this prestigious honor receive grants to travel, report and study abroad.
Nicole Einbinder, a recent graduate of Columbia University's Graduate School of Journalism, received her undergraduate degree in international studies and journalism, Phi Beta Kappa and with interdisciplinary honors, from the University of Washington. While at the UW, she was a reporter and editor for The Daily, and held internships at The Seattle Times, and KING 5 Television.
Over the past year at Columbia, Nicole reported on LGBTQ Latino bar culture in Queens, wrote a long-form piece on violence against transgender women in Central America and the political asylum process, and pursued her master's project on inequalities in Bronx Housing Court and city efforts to provide a right to counsel for low-income tenants facing eviction.
She traveled to India to cover religion, thanks to a grant by the Scripps Howard Foundation. Nicole ultimately hopes to be an investigative journalist reporting on religion, immigration, gender and human rights issues. This summer, she will be working as a news and politics fellow at Bustle.
Communication students on a Career Kickstart Exploration trip to New York had an opportunity to meet with Nicole earlier this month, learn about her studies, and gain some valuable insights into what it takes to be a successful journalist.

Professional Tagging on Talent Exchange Uses Authentic Feedback From Peers to Build Reputations
Professional Tagging on Talent Exchange Uses Authentic Feedback From Peers to Build Reputations
DUBLIN, CA--(Marketwire - Sep 28, 2011) - There's something new for professionals to "Like" on Facebook -- a way to build their reputations among peers and top companies by using authentic feedback on their skills and abilities to create a unique view into who they are and what they have to offer.
The new feature is available only to users of Talent Exchange from Taleo Corporation (NASDAQ: TLEO), the global leader of SaaS-based Talent Management solutions. Talent Exchange for Facebook is an implementation of Taleo's open online marketplace where more than 5,000 companies can connect with candidates.
Leveraging the popularity of tagging among Facebook's 750 million users, Talent Exchange adds analysis and rankings that people can use to help them get ahead in the job market. In Talent Exchange, friends and colleagues can tag a user's profile with short feedback on that person's skill set, strengths and work ethic. Taleo then analyzes and ranks each user's feedback and network activity so individuals can measure how they compare with peers in their field. Talent Exchange also uses game-style features like badges and leader boards to encourage users to tag more often, which in turn leads to more comprehensive rankings. The new features are available to everyone who joins Talent Exchange, whether through Facebook or directly at talentexchange.com.
Talent Exchange also helps give professionals a head start on their next career move by exposing their reputation and marketplace ranking directly to recruiters and hiring managers who work daily in Taleo's recruiting software. And as soon as a hiring need is created by a Taleo customer, that opportunity is immediately available on Talent Exchange. This gives Talent Exchange users a first look at the latest job openings, often before they're posted elsewhere.
By making use of both keywords and tags, Talent Exchange also introduces a better way to search people. Recruiters and hiring managers can also navigate a user's network based on the tags given and tags received to find talent associated with that individual.
"Talent Exchange helps Facebook users realize their full potential by building and promoting their reputation among peers and top companies -- a reputation enhanced by objective endorsements from the people who know them best," said Jason Blessing, executive vice president, products and technology at Taleo. "Whether professionals sign up through our Facebook application or directly at talentexchange.com, they now can leverage relationships and opportunities more effectively and elegantly than ever before."
When they join Talent Exchange, users automatically become better prepared to quickly pursue new opportunities. Their first step is to create a Universal Profile. The Universal Profile is an online resume that allows users to enter their information once and then apply for multiple jobs without re-entering the same information again and again. That information, which can highlight skills, experience and career goals, is also instantly viewable by the companies that use Taleo solutions to recruit and manage talent. Recruiters and hiring managers at more than 5,000 companies worldwide use Taleo to recruit and hire roughly 1 million people a year.
Taleo also makes it easier to pursue new opportunities in real time through a free mobile app called Taleo Radar. An extension of Talent Exchange, Taleo Radar combines location-based mobile technology with talent intelligence to pinpoint opportunities and match them with professionals whose skills and experience make them candidates for job openings, new business pitches, or professional collaboration and networking. The new app is available from the iTunes AppStore for Apple iPhone, iPad and iPod touch running iOS 4.0 and later. Taleo also plans to release Taleo Radar on Android and BlackBerry platforms.
Anyone can join Talent Exchange on Facebook at https://apps.facebook.com/talentexchange/, or directly at talentexchange.com. There is no cost to join.

Sunday is not a writing day for me, but as I was on my treadmill this morning (Yes, I do try to exercise. Sitting on my bum all day isn't good for the joints!) thinking about a part of my book that I'm not happy with, I came up with a solution and jumped off to write it down. Three times I did this. And the thought occurred to me that I could do with a tape recorder or something similar, to record my thoughts when I'm pounding the treadmill. Perhaps I ought to put in on my Christmas wish list?
Actually the treadmill's a bit of a contentious issue between me and my husband. He bought it me because he said I never got any exercise. I had used to go for walks but somehow it dropped off. Perhaps because it's no fun on my own. So when it was new I duly used it every day. You should have seen me the first time. I thought I was going to fall off. And I still can't do it without hanging on like grim death. My sense of balance is atrocious. Always has been. Even as a child I could never roller skate.
But the thing is I don't do it every day now. If I'm not writing I insist that I'm getting exercise by doing whatever else I'm doing, housework, gardening, shopping, ironing. Surely they're all forms of exercise? Come on, girls, stick up for me!
Posted in News, Views & Personal Updates
I'm with you. Just living is exercise!
x Abby Green
Thanks, Abby. I'm glad someone's on my side – though I'm still continuing with the treadmill! Actually, and I wouldn't say this to my DH, it does make me feel better.

How strange to be starting a new blog, starting over. My other blog, Tales From the Motherland, has been up and running since June 2011. It has 500+ subscribers, and I send it out each week via all kinds of venues: twitter, Facebook, etc. I write it, put it up and readers come. It's been a long time since I knew there would be no readers. This is different. I'm not sure what I want for this blog yet, I just know that it has been building inside me for about a year. The words that I think, the words that spin in my head, about Huntington's Disease— about the costs, the impact, the losses, the sticky feelings that come with HD, all need a home. I need an outlet. But how to share it? Who is the reader? That is where I struggle.
I have had my moments with my other blog… there have been more than a few, when family and friend didn't really get it. Family, in particular. This is not my journey alone. They are in the train, on the train, driving their own cars on the Huntington's Train and what I share is not always what they would share. If I am honest, and I am, what I share I don't always want them to read. It's harder to express myself when I wonder who it might hurt, who it might startle. who might read it.
So, I started this by re-blogging all of the posts from my old blog, that pertain to Huntington's in my family… mostly they are about my mother's death, in December 2011. Starting there serves two purposes: 1) It gets me started. I paid for this site months ago, and have been sitting on it, unsure where to begin. Might as well begin with posts that fill in the background. Go back and read them. 2) It saves me telling the story all over again. I might do it anyway. I'm still grieving, and things replay in my head. It's bound to happen; but, with these old posts, you can read how it was in the moment. Not how I reconstruct it. Not how I see it with my 20/20 glasses. Real time.
Re-blogging them, I was struck by how visceral it all was, as it happened. After years of living with Huntington's it was startling how blindsided I felt by it all. My grandmother's (70) death 15 years ago, my aunt's (49) death four years ago did not prepare me for losing my mother. I didn't watch their illness on such a daily basis. Their illnesses were not so close up and in my face. I didn't even see my aunt sick. She was sure she'd dodged the bullet; as was I. I tested negative, fourteen years ago. My sister is positive, my brother— we suspect he is too. So, my aunt and I reassured each other, that we would have each other's backs. We'd be the ones left behind, to bear witness. Only 5+ years older than me, we could be like sisters in the battle to survive and remember. But, she stumbled one day, then the next, and she was dead in barely 9 months. It was so fast, we'd barely seen it coming before it was gone. She left me alone to bear witness to her as well. And in her case, a lousy witness I am. I didn't get it. I didn't reach out the way I could have, should have, would have… if I'd known. My head was still in the sand. Not buried, but hiding.
And so, I am starting this blog as a place to put it out there. This is the chronicles of my Huntington's journey.

Reassessing the Roles of Women as 'Makers' of Medieval Art and Architecture
269,24 €
Reassessing the Roles of Women as 'Makers' of Medieval Art and Architecture
These volumes propose a renewed way of framing the debate around the history of medieval art and architecture to highlight the multiple roles played by women. Today's standard division of artist from patron is not seen in medieval inscriptions—on paintings, metalwork, embroideries, or buildings—where the most common verb is 'made' (fecit). At times this denotes the individual whose hands produced the work, but it can equally refer to the person whose donation made the undertaking possible. Here twenty-four scholars examine secular and religious art from across medieval Europe to demonstrate that a range of studies is of interest not just for a particular time and place but because, from this range, overall conclusions can be drawn for the question of medieval art history as a whole.

Imagine if Kellogg, the iconic cereal maker, just disappeared. That's $25 billion suddenly gone…poof.
That's essentially what just happened in the oil industry. Seven oil companies — Magnum Hunter Resources, Linn Energy, Penn Virginia, Breitburn Energy Partners, SandRidge Energy, Swift Energy, and Halcón Resources — destroyed about $24.5 billion in market value in just about 18 months.
And that's only a small slice of the oil industry's pain. More than 70 oil and gas companies have declared bankruptcy since the beginning of 2015. Several of the biggest names filed in the last few weeks. In total, almost $52 billion in debt had to be restructured since 2015. That's only about 15% of all the debt issued to oil and gas companies…
Moreover, that number is growing almost daily. In the first half of May, eight companies filed for bankruptcy. Combined, the restructured debt totalled $17.7 billion.
However, it isn't just the debt. Companies have destroyed their asset value as well. They're writing off billions of dollars. Many of them paid too much for their assets. The prices were based on the assumption that oil couldn't fall. If you buy oil production that is profitable above $80 per barrel and the oil price falls to $25 per barrel…your acquisition is worth a whole lot less than you paid for it.
Big independent explorer Apache has destroyed 71% of its asset value in the past three years…down from $61.3 billion in 2013 to $17.7 billion in the first quarter of 2016.
The 84 largest oil producers (by volume) listed in the US shed a mindboggling $179 billion in assets since 2013. That's more money than 20 states make in a year. It's more than the gross domestic product of Rhode Island, Delaware, and Alaska combined.
Here's a table of the largest offenders:
Source: Bloomberg Data
[Click to enlarge]
As you can see, the oil and gas landscape is changing rapidly. If you took on debt, overpaid for assets, and outspent your revenue, you are done…toast…kaput.
Here's the thing… We're beginning to see a handful of 'good' companies emerge from the crisis. These businesses continue to improve their balance sheets and cut costs quarter after quarter, and their share prices are rising as a result.
Take Continental Resources, for example. This company was 'King of the Bakken' during the shale boom. Its CEO, Harold Hamm, is featured in the book The Frackers. Its shares plummeted as oil prices bottomed earlier this year. But today, they're soaring…
Take a look:
Source: Stansberry Research
[Click to enlarge]
Continental's stock soared 163%, from a low of $16 per share in January to nearly $42 today. Exploration and production company EOG Resources is up 35%. Even ExxonMobil shares are up 31% from their recent lows.
Don't get me wrong, none of these companies are solvent if oil prices stay at $25 per barrel…or $35 per barrel. But they did the things necessary to survive low oil prices. You can compare it to a two-income family after the husband loses his job.
There are some families that, even with extreme cuts, have too much debt. Mom's salary can't cover the interest payments. Unless Dad finds a job immediately, they are going to go bankrupt.
Other families have two choices. They can assume Dad will find another job right away and just keep on living as usual…or they can cancel the vacation, quit eating out, and save money.
It works the same for all these natural resource companies. Long-time readers will remember the similarities with gold miners. But it can be any company that sells a commodity…
If you borrow too much and spend too much, falling commodity prices will kill your company.
What's left are the more conservative companies. They didn't overspend during the good times. They cut costs and sold assets on the way down. And as oil prices head to $50 per barrel, these are the companies that will benefit.
That's why now is the time to get back in. We want to own the great companies while they are still cheap. We want to be in as the market goes from 'bad' to 'less bad'.
Let me show you another reason it's time to buy…
After peaking in 2014, the index bottomed earlier this year. It's now up 29% since its low in January 2016. Most importantly, it just broke out to the upside of an important 'trend' indicator (red line). Take a look…
Source: Stansberry Research
[Click to enlarge]
The red line is called the '10-month moving average'. It's the average monthly closing price for these stocks over the last 10 months. Here's how it works:
When the black line is above the red line, you want to own oil and gas stocks. When the black line is below the red line, you want to be out of oil and gas stocks.
As you can see, the two lines crossed recently, which signals that the oil sector is coming out of its bear market.
That's it. You don't need to know anything about 'the fundamentals' of these companies, or 'supply/demand' equations.
This is important because economic data is usually months old by the time you get it. Gathering the details of the oil market is slow. For example, the latest available production data is from March 2016. Consumption data lags even more. This indicator is simply the best way to gauge the bottom of the market.
And right now, it's telling us that the bottom is in for oil stocks.
Good investing.

This morning's blooms
The rose I've been waiting for bloomed. The description said Mauve, I swear it did! I like what happened anyway, but it was a bit different than expected :-}
The the Sara Bernhardt peony is in full bud.
And the wine-red peony bud bloomed a beautiful deep pink/magenta.
And this morning I spotted the spiderwort in full bloom back by the otter bird fountain bed.

Glenn Beck debuts 'Obama in Pee Pee' art; Libs screech 'disrespectful'; Updated
Who knew Glenn Beck was an artiste? And like all real artists, Beck knows the big money is in dunking the messiah in a vat of urine. So edgy!
Well, as we learned again this week, President Obama is regarded by some vocal progressives as a Christlike figure, or as Jamie Foxx put it, "our lord and savior." So Beck knew it was the perfect time to debut his latest "Piss Christ"-inspired work of art: "Obama in Pee Pee."
Here is the jar of his own pee Glenn Beck is selling for $25K. He looks very very dehydrated or has kidney issues. twitter.com/BuzzFeedAndrew…

Of course, the Left will be totally OK with dropping an Obama bobblehead in a mason jar of urine, right?

— Sara Marie Brenner (@saramarietweets) November 28, 2012
Restrain? Ha! There will be no restraint when a conservative blasphemes The One! How dare he disrespect the liberal messiah?

— Charlene Deveraturda (@malasadasbooks) November 28, 2012
Did any of these libs freak out about "Piss Christ"? Did they get the vapors when artist Michael D'Antuono debuted his painting of a crucified Obama wearing a crown of thorns? Or is that just reserved for Glenn Beck's artistic expression?
Consistency is hard. But exposing liberal hypocrisy? Easy peasy!
Worth noting: Beck revealed on his program that the "urine" in that mason jar wasn't actually urine at all. It appears to be — gasp! — beer.
Beck's charity auction of "Obama in Pee Pee" has been removed from eBay. His masterpiece's eBay career may be over, but it lives on in the @ObamaInPeePee Twitter account.

Saturday, April 25, 2015
By Davinci S. Maru, Kevin A. Lagunda
A BARANGAY councilor and his son were arrested by police during a raid against an illegal numbers game in Barangay Balisong, Argao last Friday night.
Confiscated from Allan Gelbolingo, 52, and his son Shane Brian, 31, were a fax machine and assorted gambling paraphernalia, such as tip sheets, used in masiao.
Senior Insp. Alejandro Batobalonos, head of Argao Police Station, said the operation was made on the strength of a search warrant against Gelbolingo, an alleged masiao coordinator.
Argao policemen, led by Batobalonos, went to the barangay councilor's house at past 10 p.m. Gelbolingo was inside the house sitting while Shane Brian was sending documents through a fax machine.
During their search, the police team found the machine, paraphernalia and P2,221 believed to be proceeds from illegal gambling.
When interrogated by police, Gelbolingo admitted they are engaged in running masiao. "Wa kuno silay laing pangita," Batobalonos said.

Most Helpful Guy
I know it seems unfair and is hurtful when you experience something so against your beleifs and values. But like Rasmus said: this will prevent you from being happy in any relationship.
Right now, you may not be able to really hear this but it really is okay to cheat. Not that you have to do it, nor that you have to do it, but to jusge someone for anything is not a good path.
If you focus on any unwanted behavior in another, you will get more like that. This is why your men keep doing it: you're looking for it without meaning to, so this is what you experience.
You must start focusing on the good things your men do, and what you want in your next relationship. Do NOT focus on what you do NOT want.
Focus on the excitement and the delicious feeling of wanting someone and of being wanted. Focus on YOU not on them.
These men cheating is really a gift to you: they are teaching you to focus on your own mind. It won't take a lot of thought for you to realize the big "secret": you can control your mind... and you control nothing else. So spend the most time guiding your mind and training it. The other path: evaluating and trying to control others... as you have seen it doesn't work, ever. It never has for any of us and I have tried :-)
I hope this gives you a bit of perspective. Best of luck.
Most Helpful Girl
It's not odd at all. It's understandable when you've been cheated on in the past. Betrayal is one of the most painful experiences to go through. It's difficult to trust again after a betrayal , so it seems you brace yourself for the worst. You're preparing for the end even at the beginning. The problem is your actions will prevent you ever being in a happy long-. term relationship.
When you meet someone new you have to judge that person based on their own character. It's unfair to judge another guy by your exes behaviour. By distrusting men you meet is like punishing yourself and him for your exes infidelity. Your ex has too much control over your future happiness. So take that control back, and refuse to allow their wrongdoing to prevent you trusting other guys. It's not easy to do , but achievable if you change your mindset and outlook
The only way to find happiness in a relationship is to trust until THEY give you a reason not to trust them.
Live in this moment and time. Don't focus on what "might "happen or what "if's" . The strongest of people are those who've been betrayed and hurt in love , but yet they still believe in love. So work on becoming emotionally stronger.

It is a feather in the cap of Hastings Borough Council that their Grotbusters team has recently smartened up St Andrew's Square (Observer, October 7).
The square is a hidden gem, possessed of a quiet charm. Its buildings are pleasingly proportioned.
Can I respectfully suggest that the team next turn their attention to the renovation of Cornwallis Square and Cornwallis Terrace?
Cornwallis Gardens and the adjacent area were developed in the late 1870s, a period of rapid expansion, by the noted Hastings builder, John Howell, on the Cornwallis Estate, formerly the Priory Farm, which had belonged to the Cornwallis family.
They are attractively sited on an eminence around a public park, previously private subscription gardens.
Cornwallis Gardens is undoubtedly one of the most impressive sights in Hastings and a valuable part of Hastings' Victorian heritage. It is the Hastings equivalent of London's great squares and deserves a lot more attention.
The whole square evokes an era of imperial opulence and grandeur.
The western side, in particular, is composed of imposing, double-fronted mansions, some named.
Unfortunately, the whole area has an inner city feel of the wrong kind and has seen better days. There are a lot of forlorn and shady characters about.
The adjoining Cornwallis Terrace and the approach to the square from Cambridge Road are sadly decayed and run-down.
This is where the Grotbusters team can hopefully step in and restore the square to its former glory.

No land force can act decisively, unless it is accompanied by a maritime superiority ; nor can more than negative advantages be expected without it.

A Driving History 13: The Audi 80
She was a good car. I bought her sight unseen or test driven in Cairns for $6990, total cost for sundry fees about $7200.
Powered by a delightful 2.8 V6 with power everything, I was very surprised at the interior space in the car, especially head room. Only the stereo sucked.
I drove her for about 6 months, all up. And like the VS Commodore wagon (see part 12) it was in my life just long enough to see me move from Charters Towers to where I live now. A move that, given everything The Wife and I have gone through since the move, was probably a mistake.
One thing I did do with it was transport about 5 cats 500km. You know what cats are like in the car, I was worried that I'd have to put up with them howling and carrying on for the entire 6 hours. That didn't happen. They were agitated for the first half hour or so. But after that, they must have got bored, because they all went to sleep, waking only to see why I was stopping the car- for food, fuel or bathroom. Of course, they were very happy to be out of the car and the cage when we arrived at the new home.
It was a pleasure to drive on the road, however. The front wheel drive gave it enough traction, and it had a bit of kick to it, despite the weight of the car.
Then, one day in May, I was on my way to work. I use a side road from the main highway because the road is in better nick than the highway itself, but coming to the main highway, there was a yield sign. As I approached I saw a car, bit of a ways back, coming up to the intersection.
Knowing how fast I go when I use the highway, I made the decision to stop and wait for it. Sadly, the Rav4 behind me decided not to stop and promptly plowed into the back of my car.
While waiting for the cops and the tow truck to come, she did at least have the good grace to apologize. Insurance details were exchanged and so the brief life the Audi had with me came to an end.
It was shipped to a local bodyshop where the insurance gurus decided that it was a write off.
They gave me $7500 for it. I actually made $300.
A few months later, I saw a guy uptown. He also owned an Audi 80. Apparently his son crashed the front of it, and knowing mine was rear ended, (one of the joys- and I use that term loosely- of small town living) he wanted to know what happened to my car as the front end was fine. Because the insurance company bought the wreck, I told him he'd have to start tracing it from the body shop.
I don't think he ever did find out what happened to it. I haven't seen his silver Audi uptown for a long time.
Not much of a story, but then I didn't have the car that long.
Coming soon: A Driving History 14: the 89 Honda Prelude- and that will bring us up to date.

Very interesting to read. I don't know much about cars not being a driver,ReplyDelete
Cars are an important part of life. I can't feel free unless I own one.ReplyDelete
Five cats in one car? I think your poor Audi might have committed suicide, just to get rid of the cat spit and hair.ReplyDelete

Andrew C knows that I like Root Beer, so he recommended an Australian Root Beer. Bundaberg Root Beer.
So far I found it only at Cold Storage. It cost RM3.99 at Cold Storage Jaya One. I bought one a few weeks ago to try it. I like, I like... taste nice and not too sweet.
I told Andrew, since it cost more than the A&W Root Beer, I can only budget for a Bundaberg Root Beer, once a month :-) Last Thurday he bought one and gave it to me, I don't have to budget for one this month. I still haven't drank it yet. Thanks Andrew.

I felt led to share with the small platform that I do have in hopes of encouraging somebody else who may be struggling. You haven't seen me talk about this much on social media, and you probably won't ever again. In fact, I don't talk about this in person to anyone other than my husband, parents, mother-in-law, and brother. (So don't try! 😂) Haha no, it's just something I'm not really willing to re-visit unless it can help someone else. You know? However, if you are someone who feels they can relate but you don't have the courage to find help, I am here 💜.

By Dare Esan:
Nigerian striker Bright Dike has expressed his delight after joining Russian Premier League side Amkar Perm.
Dike, who broke into the Super Eagles squad under Stephen Keshi, penned a one-and-a-half-year deal late on Friday night.
The deal was brokered by Emeka Ezeala, former technical assistant to ex-Super Eagles coach Berti Vogts.
Dike,29, who turned out for Portlant Timbers in the USA Major League Soccer, took to Twitter to confirm the move.
"I'm extremely happy and proud to sign with @fc_amkar, Thank you God," Dike tweeted along with a picture of him holding his new shirt with his name written in Russian. "And my name looks pretty nice in Russian!"
Amkar Perm is Dike's first club in Europe as he has previously spent all his career in the United States, playing for the Timbers and the Toronto FC (Canadian team in the MLS).
The US-born striker also played for the Indiana Invaders, Los Angeles Blues and San Antonio Scorpions in the US lower leagues.

Wondering what's in store
GM workers look at options after layoff
The Kansas City Times
By Rod Perlmutter Of the Business Staff
February 14, 1987
Eight-year-old Brandon Cox may have a new baseball coach next week, and he has General Motors Corp.'s slow-selling cars to thank for it.
Brandon's father, Jerry, is one of about 2,000 auto workers at GM's Leeds assembly plant who started on indefinite layoff today.
The plant cut its second shift because the three cars it assembles — the Buick Skyhawk, the Oldsmobile Firenza and the Chevrolet Cavalier — were piling up on dealer lots nationwide and GM had to slash production.
All that means for Brandon, however, is that his dad, who usually doesn't get home from work on week nights until after midnight, now will be free to spend some time coaching a Shawnee baseball team.
"If I can find a good day job, I'll do it," said Cox, 29. "Hope I can, 'cause that's what dads are all about."
But finding a good day job may be difficult — particularly if, like Cox, one is supporting a wife and three children and has about six months of payments left on his car.
He joins about 33,500 GM autoworkers on indefinite layoff nationwide. And many of them are uncertain about future work.
Despite reassurances by GM and United Auto Workers officials, some workers doubt that Leeds' second shift will return, even though the shift has been reinstated twice in the last seven years.
Although some workers have applied to GM for openings at other plants, others say that with 33,500 GM autoworkers already on indefinite layoff, applying would be useless.
Workers who plan to leave GM can count on earning less than half of the average $13.50 an hour paid to GM autoworkers, as well as on skeptical bosses;
"Other employers aren't too quick to hire you, because they think you'll quit and go back to work for GM," said Percy Moore, 34, an autoworker originally from Oakland, Calif. "But I don't think : the auto industry has that great of a future anymore."
Those who chose to follow GM across country for jobs before are reluctant to do it again. "We came 2,000 miles guaranteed a job — and now we're on indefinite layoff," said Nellie Black, who came here in 1983 after she and her husband, Robert, were laid off' at GM's plant in Fremont, Calif.
The possibility of more layoffs nationwide has fueled fear about the stability of the UAW's unemployment fund and has further reduced optimism about getting jobs at GM plants.
The layoff at Leeds affects 1,870 hourly and 130 salaried employees.
Even though the second shift was reinstated after a 23-week layoff in 1980 and a 15-month layoff ending in 1983, many workers are less than optimistic that the second shift wills return this time.
Outlook for GM jobs dim
Under the UAW contract, autoworkers can be put on area-hire lists, which allow them to take jobs when openings appear at other GM plants.
But some workers with roots in Kansas City are reluctant to leave and are extremely skeptical about the chances of getting a GM job elsewhere anyway.
"It doesn't do any good to put in an application to GM," Cox said. "In my opinion, GM's gone and we have to look for something else."
They point to GM's announcement in November that 11 plants and operations would be closed by 1990, including the St. Louis GM truck plant by this fall. And even if Leeds workers find jobs at other plants, there are costs, both financial and emotional, in making such a move.
Moore, 34, said he was on layoff for nearly 28 months at Fremont when he decided to stick with GM and move to Kansas City. That move cost him about $1,200, but he thought it was worth it when he started working at Leeds in October 1983.
"When we came out here, we thought we had a good permanent job, but it looks like they brought us out here to be laid off," Moore said.
Moore's ex-wife still lives in California, and Moore said his decision to move was part of the reason for their divorce.
"In a way, I'm glad she didn't come (to Kansas City)," Moore said. "Now I'm facing the same situation I had before. I guess she knew what she was talking about."
Moore doesn't think he can depend on unemployment benefits that are guaranteed to laid-off GM workers.
The benefits fund, known as the supplemental unemployment benefits, or sub-pay, is based. on the number of employees who are laid off. Each sub-pay check is about 95 percent of a worker's weekly wage.
But the number of the checks changes with the number of laid-off workers. The higher the number of layoffs, the fewer checks a laid-off employee can get.
That uncertainty motivates laid-off workers to look for other jobs, Cox said.
"You can't sit back and say, 'I'm going to get paid X amount of weeks,' " he said. "You've got to go out and find something."
Pay cut likely for workers
GM autoworkers looking for jobs in Kansas City should prepare for wage cuts, said Virginia Guzman, a regional economist for the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics in Kansas City. She said GM autoworkers, on the average, are paid from $1 to $3 more an hour than the local average for production workers in manufacturing.
Even though autoworkers nationwide are more educated than they were a generation ago — more than 70 percent have high school diplomas— it's not clear how this would translate into job opportunities, said Reg McGhee, a UAW spokesman in Detroit.
"Even with a business degree, I don't think you can get an entry level job" that pays as much as a GM hourly wage, Guzman said.
And for autoworkers that have already developed other skills outside the plant, such as Robert and Nellie Black, Kansas City may not offer the level of wages they are accustomed to.
Robert, 28, intends to paint commercial vehicles while on layoff, and his wife, Nellie, 29, hopes to photograph weddings and other events professionally.
Both acquired these skills as a result of frequent layoffs when they worked at the Fremont plant. But both said it was different now; they have three children, and although the cost-of-living is less here than in the San Francisco Bay area, so are the wages.
Like Moore, the Blacks left family behind when they moved here after more than two years of layoff from the Fremont plant. But unlike Moore, who may leave the area, the Blacks intend to continue to call Blue Springs their home.
"The schools here are excellent. They're not overcrowded like they are in San Francisco, and the teachers have more time for each student," Robert Black said.
Robert Black said he would earn about $12 an hour at an auto-painting business here, which is a third less than what he earned for similar work in California. Similarly, Nellie Black has found that wedding photographers in the Kansas City area earn less and work longer hours than what she was used to in California.
Still, she said, searching for a job here shouldn't be as demeaning as it was when she was laid off at Fremont. Before an employer hired her in California for a photo-processing job, he asked her whether she would return to GM and then called her husband to double-check her statement.
But the Blacks remain optimistic that the second shift will return to the plant.
"Everybody tells me to hope for them because they have given up," Nellie Black said.

Australia warns athletes against Zika Virus at Rio Olympics
SYDNEY : Australia's Olympic athletes were on Wednesday told to take precautions against Zika-carrying mosquitoes at the Games in Brazil, with officials advising them to consider whether to travel to Rio de Janeiro if pregnant.
A surge in babies suffering from microcephaly, in which children have abnormally small heads, born to women infected with Zika has prompted warnings from Australia and other governments about travelling to affected countries.
In Brazil, Zika virus infections in pregnant women have been linked to 3,893 births of babies with microcephaly compared to an average of about 160 a year, the World Health Organisation has said.
The Australian Olympic Committee (AOC) said the health of its team was "paramount".The Olympic Games begin on August 5.
The AOC said athletes and officials would be given mosquito repellent, and told to wear long sleeves when they were at risk of bites from the insects such as in areas with stagnant water.
Athletes living in the Games village are to be advised to keep their windows and doors closed and use air conditioning.

However when viewed from a computer display they look somewhat dull with less saturation. I tried with several computer monitors as well as a LED TV display. But the result is the same. What will be wrong. I'm not an advanced photographer but I have a basic knowledge to handle a DSLR. Is it a problem with my photography skills and techniques? How can i overcome this problem?

Will the honor code still apply to cadets?

Light snow through this morning
An upper-level disturbance and associated Arctic cold front were moving through the region this morning. In addition, low pressure across the southeast U.S. will move northeast along the front toward the Mid-Atlantic coast by Thursday morning. The combination of these weather systems will bring light snow to much of this area through the morning, with the snow ending by midday or early afternoon. Snowfall amounts are expected to be around an inch or less across these counties, with isolated two inch amounts.
Further east, mainly east of the Blue Ridge, snow is expected to be heavier and last longer as the aforementioned low pressure system moves across North Carolina later today and toward the Mid-Atlantic coast by tomorrow morning. In those areas, Winter Weather Advisories and Winter Storm Warnings are in effect today where snow accumulations of 2 to 6 inches are possible. Heavier snow amounts will also be possible along the typical west facing slopes of the Alleghanys and into far southwest Virginia. There, the snowfall is primarily expected this morning.
In addition to the snow, temperatures will be bitterly cold today and Thursday with near steady or falling temperatures through the teens west and 20s east today. By Thursday morning low temperatures will range from the single digits west to 10 to 15 east of the Blue Ridge. Wind chill readings Thursday morning will range from -15 degrees in western Greenbrier to the 0 to +5 degree range across the Piedmont.
If you are planning to travel anywhere within the forecast area today, plan on snow covered roads and bitterly cold temperatures. Plan accordingly by including extra layers of clothing and extra blankets. Make sure your gasoline tank is full before you leave your destination. Reduce speed, leave extra distance between vehicles, and be especially careful braking.
Stay tuned to NOAA Weather Radio or commercial radio and television for the latest weather information.

Environmental Studies
Growth lines annually deposited in the shells of bivalves can serve to estimate growth rate, which are a reflection of environmental conditions, including anthropogenic disturbance, during their life. The freshwater pearl mussel Margaritifera margaritifera reaches ages of 150-200 years, making it an excellent long-term proxy of climate. Samples of M. margaritifera were obtained from the Karpelva watershed, a river in northeast Finnmark, Norway, in the proximity of a Pechenganickel company smelter on the Kola Peninsula in Russia. The growth variability of M. margaritifera was analyzed by averaging the SGI's of four M. margaritifera samples (EPS=.56) to develop a long-term growth chronology from as early as 1865 to 2012, which was then correlated with environmental parameters with up to a four year lag. No significant correlations were found, yet correlations with environmental variables were overall stronger before 1946. The shells were also tested at two different sites for heavy metals before and after 1946 when the Nickel smelter was established on the Kola Peninsula. Metal concentrations did not significantly differ between time periods or between sites. Concentrations of Fe and Mg, in the case of this study, are the most likely metals to have contributed to a slowed metabolic rate due to interference with Calcium homeostasis. Long-lived adult pearl mussels have been used as a reliable environmental and physiological long-term archive but further assessment regarding its reliability in polluted conditions should be carried out.

Spotify keeps taking away things I really like
First Black on Both sides by Mos Def
Then the best Kate Bush albums
and now Scott sings Jacques Brel
what has Spotify cruelly ripped from you?
all the
at the drive-in.
The only thing that's gone is
'The power of love' by Frankie goes to Hollywood. I love that song.
damn, hadn't noticed Kate Bush had gone :(
now my really excellent Kate Bush playlist only has three songs on it. lame.
Joanna Newsom and Xiu Xiu
but that was whilst it was still invite only :(
Took me weeks to find the rest of the Xiu Xiu back catalogue to have a listen.
this is why...
spotify will never be as big as they had hoped. i set up about 30 albums as playlists in novemeber, by february only about 4 of them worked. i've started taking my mp3 player to work again.
it really needs:
drag city
kill rockstars
flying nun
then it would be amazing. lack of the above ruins every playlist i want to make.

SOMERVILLE, N.J. (AP) - January 16, 2013 --A former "Melrose Place" actress who was driving drunk when her SUV plowed into another car, killing a woman in New Jersey is seeking a new trial.
A jury in November found 41-year-old Amy Locane-Bovenizer guilty of vehicular homicide. She was acquitted of a more serious charge of aggravated manslaughter.
The Star-Ledger of Newark reports her lawyer wants the verdict thrown out, in part, because the defense argued other factors led to the 2010 accident.
The defense had tried to shift blame to a third motorist who was pursuing the actress after her vehicle was rear-ended. The defense also claimed the husband of the victim made a slow turn in front of Locane-Bovenizer's SUV.
She faces five to 10 years in prison when she's sentenced on Feb. 14.

How the Cops Train Dogs to Find Drugs
Not all dogs are willing to become "sniffers", but the poice go through a lot to find the right candidate, and if you want one and learn how to train them right, most dogs are able. Dog breeds with brachycephalic faces (smushed-in noses) are not great because they are prone to breathing problems and upper respiratory infections. A dog with a stuffed up nose will probably not be the best drug sniffer.
Dogs that are used to sniffing can be trained to find anything. Some police departments use dogs to sniff out corpses, customs uses dogs to sniff out illegal plants at the airport, and regular cops use dogs all the time to sniff out drugs.
Some dogs are able but not willing, or even interested. If you have the right dog, how do you go about training a sniffing dog?
How they go about training the dog
1. Even before he becomes part of the drug seaching service, most dogs are taught basic obedience commands. Like when training your dog to be a guard for your property or to provide personal protection, basic obedience commands like sit, stay, and down need to become second nature. If the dog does not respond all of the time, he will probably be removed from the service right away.
2. Later the dog is provided with a rugged toy that you will use as a reward every time he sniffs correctly (A lot of cops suggest the Kong since it is hard rubber and you can hide things inside it). When they play with the dog they use the toy every time; the toy should be the means to communicate with the dog. They usually play fetch several times throughout the day with this toy.
3. Later still they start putting the toy in a box, stepping back and then telling the dog to fetch it for. When he brings the toy they praise him lavishly and give him the toy back to play with.
4. They will hide the toy and tell him "Find it" as his order to fetch it. They do not make it too hard to start with. When using a toy like a Kong, it is filled with peanut butter (or something the dog really likes) before it is hid.
5. When the dog understands the concept of "Find it" and is using the command to find his hidden toy, and can do so flawlessly, the cops transfer his searching abilities to another object. If you want to train your own dod you can do this using drugs, plants, or maybe just your keys or remote control (if you are the kind of person that loses them all of the time and wants to train your dog to find them for you). I am going to use the example of marijuana, as a joint smells strongly and dogs are trained fairly easily. Put the joint inside the Kong toy and put it in the box you used in step 3.
6. Tell the dog "Find it". When he looks in and sees his Kong, and smells the joint, he will begin to associate the two.
7. Hide the toy (with a joint inside it) somewhere less obvious, not in the box, and tell him to "find it". As in step 4, this should be easy at first and more difficult as your dog´s training progresses.
8. Always praise him and let him play with the toy as soon as he performs "find it". Dogs will vary but if you practice with him a few times a day he should have this technique mastered in a few weeks.
9. Substitute any other products you want your dog to search for. Some police services will use products for sale that help you train your dog for bomb detection—but drug sniffing dogs will not need that capability, obviously.
Is it possible to hide drugs from a drug sniffing dog?
This subject originally came up when a person asked me about hiding drugs. Yes, it is physically possible since a dog is only able to detect drugs because of the release of the drug molecule in the air. He is not able to detect drugs hidden inside a human body; he is not able to detect drugs through a solid object.
No, it is not practicable. If the drug smuggler leaves any holes for the molecules to escape, the dog will pick it up. Several smugglers on the border of Brazil and Bolivia have been caught smuggling even when the cocaine was hidden in the bed of a truck and welded shut.
How? If the weld is not perfect, and any air is able to escape, the dog´s nose will detect the drugs hidden underneath the metal. (Also, if any of the drug was spilled on the bed of the truck before welding the dog would be able to detect those molecules. It does not take much!)
Training a dog to sniff and find objects around the house can be a lot of fun.

Great hub! I almost wish I could un-train my Jack Russell to do this. He can sit, lie down, and give us his paw, and he also came with the ability to sniff out pot. There are a couple of people in our building complex who occasionally indulge outside our window and he just goes crazy whenever he can smell it. Do you think his previous owners might have trained him to do this?
That was really interesting, Doc! I was curious as to how working scent dogs were trained.
Would it be true that another reason brachycephalics aren't good scent dogs is that they lack the volume of receptors that long muzzled dogs have?
Stoners should read this hub...they'll never have to buy another stash. All they'll have to do is bring their dogs over to their dealer's house while he's out engaging in commerce. I'm not an English major, but I think you might want to correct a word in your last sentence. Voted up, useful and interesting.
This is really interesting. My beagle is an excellent sniffer! I've always wondered, though, how to get her to sniff for certain objects that weren't food. We used to always play "find it" by just hiding the tiniest piece of a treat. It was amazing to watch her even as a little puppy sniff around the room until she found it. This fall when people piled huge piles of leaves at the curb she was insistent on dragging me down the street a little bit to one particular pile. She proceeded to dig all the way down and up she came with a piece of a waffle! Her nose never ceases to amaze me and now she seems to be having fun sniffing and digging through snow with her nose. She would have been an excellent drug-sniffing dog, but I think I'll give your steps a try to train her to find some other object. Thanks for the help.
