The group made its way slowly down through the castle to the dungeons below after being dismissed by the All-Father. At Frigga's request, Hogun had removed Loki's shackles as soon as they had left the throne room, but the disgraced prince was unsteady on his feet from the shock of Odin's many revelations, hampering their progress. Clint had offered his arm for support, which Loki had gratefully taken. Thor longed to offer his own on Loki's other side but feared a haughty rebuff or, worse yet, a response of genuine confusion followed by polite refusal, for Loki and Clint were intimate in their silence in a way that Thor had never experienced with his former brother; a third member to their coupled walk would have been an unwelcome intrusion, and Thor feared his own presence was so far from Loki's mind as to be practically forgotten.
Still, despite their slow progress, it did not take long for them to arrive in the dungeon halls and stand before Loki's cell. Clint assessed the furniture and sterile cleanliness of the room at a glance, then refocused his attention on his lover.
"You know I won't give up," he told Loki, his gaze steady and strong. "I'll keep looking for a way, all right? Just take care of yourself for now and try to rest… for the baby's sake."
Loki nodded and clung to him with his still-manacled hands, wishing with all his heart that they did not have to be parted – that he could undo the past and reshape it in some manner so he could stay in the Human's embrace forever. When Loki heaved a sigh, knowing that such a wish could never be realized, he caught a whiff of Clint's scent: earthy and masculine and inexplicably comforting.
"My dearest Hawk," Loki murmured, his lips pressed to Clint's ear, "might I keep this shirt you are wearing now? To remember you by?"
"Oh! Right. Sure."
Clint disentangled himself from Loki's reluctant arms and removed his sleeveless uniform top, much to the surprise of the Asgardians. While Clint opened his duffel bag to pull out a clean shirt and put it on, the Warriors Three and Sif exchanged glances of bewilderment with Thor; the reason for the Human's actions became clear, however, when they saw Loki clutching the old shirt and burying his face in it. Frigga, having heard Loki's initial request, grimaced and held a handkerchief to her own eyes, and even Heimdall's stoic features grew grim.
"It's all right, Baby," Clint whispered, cupping Loki's cheek with one hand. "It'll be all right, I promise. Here, you should eat some of the chocolate Tony gave you – it'll make you feel better – all right? And I want you to keep this too," he added, pulling out the StarkTunes machine and handing it to Loki along with the box of chocolate. "I don't know if you'll even like rock music, but at least it'll keep you company in there."
"But… Clint," Loki protested, taken aback, "this was a gift for you – the songs of your people, to remind you of your home."
Clint grinned in his slightly lopsided way and shrugged. "Nah, don't worry about it; I've got all my favorites in my head already. Besides, I'll be working, while you'll be… stuck in this box all day." His face contorted with distaste as he spoke the word, but his eyes never left Loki's. "I want you to know something about my culture, about the music I grew up with, 'cuz it's shaped who I am. I want my son to know it too, eventually… although it might just be noise to him right now. Maybe he'll feel the beat; they say babies can hear more than we think inside their mama's tummy…" He rubbed Loki's bump affectionately. "I hope he grows up to like my world… just as much as yours, so he can take the best of both. He's got some amazing opportunities that no one else has ever had before. He'll have plenty of choices…"
"Yes," Loki agreed, bowing his head to press his cheek against Clint's. "I hope he will choose wiser paths than I."
"He will. Because you'll teach him to."
Loki pursed his lips and did not answer. He dared not speculate how much time he would be allowed to spend with the child, if at all, but he did not wish to mar their parting with needless argument. He knew that Clint would continue seeking ways to bring about, if not his freedom, at least his ability to nurture their child, and also that the determined archer would protest any pessimistic words he spoke right now. Thinking Clint would need all the help Frigga could give him, Loki looked up at her and noticed she was still struggling to regain her composure.
"If I might be so bold…" he began, causing Frigga to approach him, eager to grant whatever it was he desired. "Would it be permissible for Clint to occupy my former rooms?" Loki asked. "You had mentioned they were still as I had left them…"
"They are. I will not give up hope that you might yet be pardoned and returned to your previous estate," Frigga confirmed. "But if you wish to have Clint occupy them, I can think of no better use for them."
"Wait, hold on a sec!" Clint interrupted. "I was going to live in the barracks, just like any other guy. I don't want to get special treatment."
"Loki's rooms are more luxurious than most, as befitting a prince of Asgard," Frigga told him, "but it would not seem preferential, since as a warrior from Midgard here at my invitation, you would be expected to live in the palace; I would have provided you with rooms similar to Loki's as my honored guest. And many men of the Herǫr Drengr live with their families in their own homes."
"Oh," Clint responded, surprised. Loki managed a faint smile.
"This way you might learn something of my culture – what shaped me. My books, my collections… I hope they might compensate you, in a small way, for leaving your realm."
Clint felt humbled at having a prince's chambers offered to him in exchange for a glorified iPod, even if he had left his entire world for Loki and their child's sake, but he tried not to show how awkward he felt as he said, "Thanks. I… I'll try not to break anything."
The ridiculousness of Clint's concern – as though he could damage something beyond Asgard's ability to repair – made Loki burst out in a tight laugh, which just as suddenly turned to a sob. The tears he had been holding back broke through his strained control at the remark because it was so quintessentially Clint-like. Frigga swiftly removed the items in Loki's hands, allowing him to fling his chain over his lover's head and cling to him once again.
"It's all right, Baby… It'll be all right," Clint repeated in Loki's ear, wishing (not for the first time) that he were a little taller; as it was, Loki was draped over Clint's shoulder. But while Clint held his trembling body and rubbed the small of his back, trying to comfort him, Loki's sobs subsided, and eventually the two of them stood in perfect unity, simply enjoying the ability to touch and be together.
A cough from one of the guards reminded them that it was a privilege about to be revoked.
"You can do this. I know you can," Clint murmured, stroking Loki's hair. "I know how strong you are. You have to be strong for the baby, but I'm here for you, all right? I won't ever leave you."
Loki nodded, although a cruel voice in the back of his mind reminded him that his Human would die in a matter of decades, not millennia or even centuries, ultimately leaving him; he crushed the thought by reassuring himself that Clint would not leave him of his own will – and was that not the important thing? That his lover wanted to be with him for as long as possible, that he cared for him even to the point of forsaking all he knew and loved in his own realm. That was a sort of loyalty and devotion Loki had scarcely merited before in his life, and as he felt the strength of it in Clint's loving embrace, he vowed to be worthy of it henceforward.
Frigga had finished putting away his gifts in his cell and now hovered close by, awaiting her turn to embrace him and bid him farewell. Drawing in a deep breath and sniffling one last time, Loki stood at his full height and straightened his shoulders.
"Well, then… it seems our time has run out," he said, schooling his features into a passable mask of indifference, although Clint noticed how his green eyes flitted about as they tried to commit the archer's face to memory. "Thank you. For everything." Loki bit his lower lip for a moment to keep it from quivering. "I wish you the best of fortune as you join the Herǫr Drengr – for I have no doubt that you will – and I hope the pleasures of the Golden City will ease your heart for the loss of… everything you have left behind."
"Loki… Baby," Clint replied, gripping his lover by the elbows, "I don't need to be compensated for that. Don't you get it? I'm gonna be a father – you're giving me a son. There's nothing greater than that. It's no sacrifice at all, Baby, to leave an old job for my family. Don't worry about it."
In spite of his resolve, Loki felt hot tears running down his cheeks again. He looked down to hide them, swallowing hard to regain control. Clint wiped them away with his thumbs, then covered the damp tracks with kisses. When Loki had pulled himself together at last, he forced his lips into a small, crooked smile. Clint returned the expression knowingly as they cursed in unison:
"Damn hormones!"
The laugh they shared was genuine, even if laced with pain, and it bolstered Loki enough that he was able to give Frigga a grateful hug without breaking down again. Thor stepped up behind her hesitantly and was relieved when Loki gave him a sheepish smile, reminding him of days long past when they had played together as brothers. The god of thunder wrapped his arms around the god of mischief, mindful of the growing life in Loki's belly and glad to have him safely home again, regardless of the circumstances.
"All right, I'll admit it," Loki spoke in a mockingly grudging tone. "For once, you were right."
"To what are you referring?" Thor asked, puzzled, then added in jest, "I have been right on more than one occasion."
"You were right to insist that I tell Clint of his child," Loki answered, grinning to hide the deeper emotions threatening to overwhelm him. "Though I did not expect him to receive the news so well… Perhaps you did learn something of the Midgardians during your sojourn there…"
"As I told you, he is an honorable man – as are many of his people," Thor said seriously. "He will be a good father to your child, and for this I am glad, Brother."
A muscle in Loki's cheek twitched as if he wished to deny their relation again, but he held his peace, instead turning back to Clint for one last, chaste kiss. The lovers lingered on it as long as they dared but after a final, yearning taste of each other's lips and a wordless moment with their foreheads pressed together, Clint patted Loki's back and escorted him to the threshold of his cell. Once inside, Loki willed himself to stand erect and poised as a guard removed his manacles, while six others surrounded him, spears at the ready, to prevent him from escaping before they retreated and raised the barriers. When the shimmering wall arose with its all-too-familiar hum of power, Loki felt his chest constrict. It cost him a tremendous effort to keep his face blank.
Since there was nothing more to be said, Clint only nodded to him before gathering up his half-empty duffel bag and case. Loki watched as the archer followed Thor and Frigga down the hallway and was gratified when Clint turned around before he was completely lost to sight. The gesture the Human made, with his fingers almost touching his brow, Loki recognized as a Midgardian salute. He waited until the last of the group was beyond his line of vision, then counted their steps until they must have entered the stairwell.
With a heavy sigh, he used his newly released powers to draw the sheer white privacy curtains around the cell while he walked over to the bed. He paused for a moment, sitting on its edge, to place his hands on his stomach and reach out to the child within.
"We're alone again, Heideral," he whispered. Feeling the child moving, he lay down on his side and curled around it protectively. "I miss him already as well," he confided.

Planning on buying a POS system? Congratulations! You're making a great investment in your business. However, it's easy to get caught up in the numbers and lose sight of which point of sale system is really the best choice for your business. Calculating total cost of ownership (TCO) is the best way to understand the financial impact your new POS system will have on your budget.
What is TCO?
There is more to the cost of a POS system than just the upfront "sticker price." What may seem like a great deal may wind up costing you more in the long run because of associated costs and IT support fees. Unless you consider TCO when you're buying a POS system, it will be impossible to make an "apples-to-apples" comparison of different options. You may also be hit with (and unprepared for) expenditures that aren't in your budget.
What is included in a TCO calculation?
In addition to initial hardware costs, the TCO for any POS system also includes transaction processing fees. These can vary greatly and can be higher when the system can only be used with specific payment processors. TCO also takes into account software costs, warranty and maintenance expenditures, and training and support fees.
If you are skeptical that TCO could vary significantly from one system to another, consider this real-life example. We performed an analysis of three comparable POS options evaluated by a coffee shop owner. The shop has an average of 200 credit card transactions daily.
The first system has an initial hardware cost of $1,126. Option two costs $1,299 and option three costs $1,044. But this is where the similarities in cost end. Monthly processing fees for these systems are $728, $1,271, and $374, and software costs are $0, $39, and $38, respectively. First year TCO for the three systems are:
This example illustrates that it's important to look beyond the sticker price to understand exactly what you will pay for a POS system.
What about "free POS"?
Some retailers and restaurant operators choose this option, but there really isn't any such thing as a "free" POS system. While a company may not charge for the POS hardware or software itself, you'll still be paying processing fees — and there will still likely be a cost for installation, training, service, support, upgrades, and maintenance. Additionally, you may want or need certain functionality and features a "free" POS system simply doesn't offer.
All retailers and restaurateurs want to save money when buying a POS system, so it's important not to commit to a purchase without researching TCO. The best investment is a POS system that isn't necessarily the cheapest option upfront, but can be operated cost-effectively while providing you with the tools your business needs to operate more efficiently and profitably.

Senior Travel Insurance
Everybody dependably inquires as to whether travel protection is truly required. The answer is it depends. For seniors it is required. Senior travel protection is a standout amongst the most imperative insurances to have. There are many reasons. Some are evident others may astonish generally seniors.
To start with the self-evident. Everybody including seniors trusts their travel will be without bother. Yet, on the off chance that it's not, you need to have something that will assist with cancelations, deferrals, lost or stolen stuff or different resources and so forth. This is an adequate reason alone to have some sort of travel protection. After all you most likely laid at a considerable measure of cash for that uncommon trek you've been arranging.
For seniors voyaging while all that is critical, that is not by any stretch of the imagination the most imperative advantages of excursion protection. What is the most basic is restorative scope. We as a whole know as we get more established we are more powerless to diseases particularly when we travel. What's more, mischances can be more genuine with age. So while it's spectacular that we have sufficient energy to travel more as we achieve retirement age, we likewise need to consider uncommon requirements for wellbeing and mishap security.
Shockingly various seniors think they have all the confirmation they require with their present restorative scope orchestrates. Truth be told a significant part of the time this is not substantial. Here's why.Medicare and Medigap Insurance Coverage
Generally speaking, Medicare won't pay for therapeutic administrations or supplies you get outside the United States. The expression "outside the U.S." suggests wherever other than the 50 states of the U.S., the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, Guam, American Samoa, and the Northern Mariana Islands.
There are three conditions when Medicare may pay for particular sorts of social protection organizations you get in a remote recuperating focus (a specialist's office outside the U.S.):
You're in the U.S. when you have a helpful emergency, and the remote mending focus is closer than the nearest U.S. mending office that can treat your disorder or harm.
You're experiencing Canada instantly by the most direct course among Alaska and another state when a therapeutic emergency happens, and the Canadian specialist's office is closer than the nearest U.S. recuperating office that can treat your illness or mischief. Medicare makes sense of what qualifies as "instantly" on a case-by-case introduce.You live in the U.S. furthermore, the remote healing facility is nearer to your home than the closest U.S. healing center that can treat your therapeutic condition, paying little respect to whether it's a crisis.
Keep in mind, in these circumstances, Medicare will pay just for the Medicare-shrouded administrations you get in a remote healing facility. Medicare sedate arrangements can't cover professionally prescribed medications you purchase outside the U.S. As should be obvious these are exceptionally constrained circumstances.
Medicare may cover restoratively vital medicinal services administrations you get on a voyage send in these circumstances:
The specialist is permitted under specific laws to give restorative administrations on the journey send.

I read that Dr. Norani Othman's edited volume "Muslim Women and the Challenge of Islamic Extremism" has been banned by the Home Ministry on the grounds that it 'twisted facts on Islam that can undermine the faith of Muslims'. This is a bunch of crock.
I know Norani professional and personally. I contributed a couple of articles in a recent book entitled 'Elections and Democracy in Malaysia' which called into question many aspects of the electoral system in Malaysia. Thankfully, that book wasn't banned.
Norani or 'Noi', as she is known among friends in Malaysia, is a respected and well published academic and I have tremendous respect for her as an academic. I am sure that her edited volume takes a critical look at the impact of Islam both on the part of the BN as well as on the part of PAS and other Islamic bodies / movements in the country but I am equally sure that only a small part of the Malaysian community would have made the effort to read this book, given its academic nature.
I am against the banning of books in general since I think that one should be intelligent enough to judge if a book is worth reading or not and if one wants to be exposed to the ideas expounded in a particular book. But I am especially against the banning of academic books which are supposed to adopt a critical eye on the issues of the day. How can our higher institutions of learning be taken seriously if freedom of thought and expression is restricted and the works of some scholars are banned by the authorities? Such a notion would be greeted with absolute contempt in the US, UK or any developed country that respects the freedom of thought and expression. I guess Malaysia lives by different rules.

Interesting Hobbies That Are Worth Trying Out.
A good way to pass time is by taking up a hobby. Hobbies are not just past times, they are also money making activities. People have different types of hobbies. Talent is a good way to grow a hobby. For other individuals, passion is what drives them to take up hobbies. Whatever the case, choosing a hobby need not be a daunting task. Matter of fact, you need to find a hobby that you will enjoy. Hobbies improve the health of an individual in terms of their mental capacity and physical status. There are a variety of activities that an individual can choose from. Below is a guide to enable you to find a good hobby.
A cool hobby to take up is vaporizing. This is a good option for people who smoke. The reason for this is because vaporizing does not have bad side effects. Moreover, there are many flavors to choose from. Vaporizing is a healthy choice contrary to smoking. All you do is inhale the vapor without inhaling the smoke. Furthermore, you have the opportunity of having your flavors custom made. Another example of an interesting hobby is gardening. Gardening has often been considered a dirty job. Gardening activities are shunned by many young people. They have the mentality that gardening is for the old and for people who do not have cool jobs. Gardening, nevertheless, provides one with an opportunity to be productive in their free time.
You stand to benefit greatly from gardening. You have the chance to grow your fruits and vegetables. This sees to it that you have a constant supply of organic supplements. You are assured of a good and healthy way of living with this practice. It is also cheaper since it saves you the cost of buying groceries every now and then. It sees to it that you become self-sufficient with your groceries. It enables you not to be dependent on people who grow these groceries on large scale. Producing your own food is much better than buying from the stores.
Wine tasting is another fascinating hobby. Many people love wine. A glass of wine is what many people use to calm their nerves after a long day at work. The beauty of this hobby is that it is both enriching and luxurious. With wine tasting, you will get an opportunity to taste some of the finest wines available. Nonetheless, wine tasting is not a ticket for you to be an alcoholic. You can make wine tasting a fulfilling and exciting hobby if you are responsible. Another wise idea is taking up competitive sports as a hobby. Such sports give you an opportunity to benefit all round. Sports such as football, volleyball, and hockey provide you with much-needed exercise. They ensure that you remain physically fit. Your brain sharper and more alert when you play games such as chess and video games.

Sports News of Sunday, 26 November 2017

Ghanaian superstar Michael Essien joined his former Chelsea teammate Ashley Cole to give fans of the Premier League champions in New York a treat on Saturday when they arrived for a viewing of the Liverpool game with the Premier League trophy in hand.
The former Blues joined supporters on a specially Chelsea-branded bus before transporting to NBC's South Street Seaport viewing party in Manhattan, posing for plenty of photos along the way.
The pair spoke about what it's like to play at Anfield and gave their pre-match predictions (both anticipating narrow Chelsea wins) before settling down to enjoy the game among an army of fellow Blues.
While there, they also helped out Chelsea Foundation coaches, putting on sessions for kids, before joining some bigger kids, former Premier League players Robbie Earle and Robbie Mustoe, now NBC pundits for a kickabout where they both showed they can still cut the mustard!

text: I've been crocheting heaps lately. It's a great train project and so relaxing. I've gone a bit ripple blanket crazy! Only problem is I keep rushing in and not estimating yarn very well. So I've had to keep popping back to yarn stores to get another ball or 2. One of which (photo below) I can no longer get but I'm still on the hunt.

Hi I'm Sam
I'm a Mormon
About Me
Currently I am a college student and soon to be dad. I love to camp and do anything that has to do with the outdoors. I love to just relax in a canoe and float down lazy rivers.
Why I am a Mormon
I am a Mormon because Heavenly Father answered my prayer when I asked him if the Book of Mormon was true. I was 14 years old when I got my answer, I grew up attending The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. I wanted to know for myself if everything that I had learned growing up was true. I know that Heavenly Father answered my prayer. I know that the Book of Mormon is true. If the Book of Mormon is true, then Joseph Smith was a prophet of God, and The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is the true church. This is why I am a Mormon.
How I live my faith
I attend church every Sunday and love being able to discuss the gospel with other people. I have had the chance to teach others in church and have been able to help organize service projects for the community.

Urban Foraging
When we lived in Sunnyvale a few years ago, we had nearly year-round access to some of the best fresh fruit ever. Sunnyvale and the entire South Bay Area region is now mostly a paved-over, bustling part of Silicon Valley, but it once was part of the nation's most important fruit-producing region. Back then, it was known as the Valley of Heart's Delight. Silicon?
Remnants of that era still exist, mostly in people's yards.
We picked oranges and lemons in the winter; bing cherries in the early summer; peaches, nectarines and plums later in July or August; heirloom tomatoes from the local grade school garden and apples in September; there were even a couple of nearby pomegranate trees. I only took fruit that otherwise would drop and rot -- neglected fruit trees or branches that hung over fences -- since otherwise it just wouldn't be cool.
Some Concord grapes from down the street by our new place are pictured above.
But the real show-stopper of our Sunnyvale cornucopia was a massive and productive avocado tree directly across the street. The day I noticed the tree, shortly after we moved into the apartment, I also saw an old ladder with a sign reading "free." At risk of sounding a little too hippie, I did feel as if the universe wanted me to pick those avocados.
Now I just needed permission, since the ones that fell on the ground tended to get munched on by squirrels. To my surprise, the owner actually offered them to me when he saw me looking closely at the tree.
About once a week, I'd drag my ladder over to the avocado tree and pick about a half of a grocery bag full (any more would have gone bad too quickly). We had guacamole pretty much all the time and put generous slices of the delectable fruit on our sandwiches. Now, avocados don't normally grow that far north, so it was a real treat.
Moving back to the coast and its very different climate and vegetation, I didn't find much stone fruit or oranges -- the few cherry trees in the area were decorative only (the cool of the fog killed any chance of fruiting) -- but I did manage to find several pineapple guava trees. Pineapple guavas are not technically guavas, but they're good.
We didn't have as much of a bounty in the Midwest, but I do remember picking marionberries in the woods bordering our subdivision. I know, not exactly urban (or, to be more precise, suburban), but you never really saw much else in our clay-soil neighborhoods.
Wherever you live, look around and see what's growing. If it's cool -- i.e. you're not ripping off your neighbor -- then sample some truly local produce.
I'll be back next week, as things should settle down a bit by then.

What after CompTIA A+ Certification
It's a big world we live in and it is completely up to you where you would like to route your career after being a CompTIA A+ Certified Technician. Your geographic location plays a vital role in this. The competition for entry level technical positions is much more fierce in cities where population is high. The CompTIA A+ certification not only will give you a sound edge over others in this competitive world, but also will give you an opportunity to add more certifications to your name.
Here are some of the common jobs that use CompTIA A+ certification:
- Technical support specialist
- Field service technician
- IT support technician
- IT support administrator
- IT support specialist
- Help Desk and Customer Service
- Computer Manufacturer
Although the above list seem to be small, still there are endless opportunities for a A+ Certified Technician. Nowadays, specialized training and skills are in huge demand. Some areas worth mentioning are as:
- Personalized Training: Teaching users how to use applications, prevent loss of data and not be a victim of cyber-crimes.
- Computer Forensics: Due to increase in identity theft, the need for people to analyse data in an encrypted way is a must.
- Backup & Recovery: How to recover your data if you forget to back-up your files.
- Large Scale Database Management Systems and Very Large Scale Database Management Systems (LSDBMS & VLSDBMS): Commonly known as terabyte data ware housing.
Once you become a CompTIA A+ certified technician, you can redirect your career path in any way you would want to. The various paths that you can tread on would be:
- Administration: Providing network support, configuring routers and managing user accounts on the corporate servers.
- Development: Design the companies web presence and intranet and manage it on aregular basis.
- Hardware: From repairing simple computers to manufacturing high-end workstations and servers.
- Technician: Pass the Net+ exam thus leading to installing network cabling, supporting corporate end users and managing the corporate desktop.
As you can clearly see that there are numerous possibilities for a CompTIA A+ Certified technician. But this is only a small piece of the whole cake. You can combine multiple other certifications and direct your career in a whole new direction.
The world of Information technology has huge innovations and prospects in this ever changing industry and the CompTIA A+ certification that you have acquired will always remain a solid foundation for you to build on.

Ambient ozone and asthma hospital admissions in Texas: a time-series analysis
Ambient ozone and asthma hospital admissions in Texas: a time-series analysis - Descarga este documento en PDF. Documentación en PDF para descargar gratis. Disponible también para leer online.
Asthma Research and Practice
, 3:6
First Online: 01 August 2017Received: 27 September 2016Accepted: 19 July 2017
BackgroundMany studies have evaluated associations between asthma emergency department ED visits, hospital admissions HAs, and ambient ozone O3 across the US, but not in Texas. We investigated the relationship between O3 and asthma HAs, and the potential impacts of outdoor pollen, respiratory infection HAs, and the start of the school year in Texas.
MethodsWe obtained daily time-series data on asthma HAs and ambient O3 concentrations for Dallas, Houston, and Austin, Texas for the years 2003–2011. Relative risks RRs and 95% confidence intervals CIs of asthma HAs per 10-ppb increase in 8-h maximum O3 concentrations were estimated from Poisson generalized additive models and adjusted for temporal trends, meteorological factors, pollen, respiratory infection HAs, day of the week, and public holidays. We conducted a number of sensitivity analyses to assess model specification.
ResultsWe observed weak associations between total asthma HAs and O3 at lags of 1 day RR10 ppb = 1.012, 95% CI: 1.004–1.021, 2 days RR10 ppb = 1.011, 95% CI: 1.002–1.019, and 0–3 days RR10 ppb = 1.017, 95% CI: 1.005–1.030. The associations were primarily observed in children aged 5–14 years e.g., for O3 at lag 0–3 days, RR10 ppb = 1.037, 95% CI: 1.011–1.064, and null in individuals 15 years or older. The effect estimates did not change significantly with adjustment for pollen and respiratory infections, but they attenuated considerably and lost statistical significance when August and September data were excluded. A significant interaction between time around the start of the school year and O3 at lag 2 day was observed, with the associations with pediatric asthma HAs stronger in August and September RR10 ppb = 1.040, 95% CI: 1.012–1.069 than in the rest of the year October–July RR10 ppb = 1.006, 95% CI: 0.986–1.026.
ConclusionsWe observed small but statistically significant positive associations between total and pediatric asthma HAs and short-term O3 exposure in Texas, especially in August and September. Further research is needed to determine how the start of school could modify the observed association between O3 and pediatric asthma HAs.

What Should You Look for in a Graphic Designer?
Hiring a graphic designer can seem like an intimidating decision, especially if you know very little about graphic design and the design industry in general. The good news is that the challenge of looking for a graphic designer isn't just about talent or hard skills. In fact, you'll likely hear from a dozen candidates with amazing portfolios. Instead, what you can do is focus on finding a designer you can work with, someone who fits into your corporate culture, and someone who can work with minimal supervision.
If you're currently looking for a graphic designer, here are # tips to help you in your search:
1. Set Clear Goals and Expectations
It's important to let candidates know what they can expect from the position and your company, as well as what is expected of them should they take up the job. So, in your job postings and creative briefs, be sure you go into detail when describing your company, the project, and its objectives, as well as the position's requirements.
The more specific you are in describing the details of the job, the easier it will be for candidates to set realistic expectations.
2. Do You Know What Skills to Look For?r
Do note that skills aren't just about a candidate's ability to use design software, create designs from scratch, or take good photos.
While it's obviously important for candidates to know how to use Visual Studio or Adobe Illustrator and be in touch with the latest in graphic design best practices, you should also watch out for "soft" skills like communication skills, interpersonal skills, and management skills among others.
3. Look at How Candidates Adapt to Situations
Another great way to assess graphic design candidates is to ask how they would respond to specific situations through problem-solution-results questions. For example, you could show a candidate a design asset of a competitor and see how they would do things differently. This lets you understand a candidate's thought process and whether they can think on their feet.
4. Look Beyond Portfolio
Basing your hiring decision on a graphic designer's portfolio alone may lead to regret down the line, especially when it's time to work on top-level projects. Rather than focus on output, you want to look at a candidate's design process, how they approach a creative challenge, and what makes them make specific design choices. This approach lets you understand a designer's creative style and how you can complement each other when working together
5. Start with a Test Project
If you want an even closer look at a designer's creative process, you could let them work on a relatively small sample project that would take no more than two hours to finish. Examples of challenges include designing a logo or improving upon a previous design project. What this does is show you a candidate working in real time.
Whatever the case, just be sure to pay the candidate for the trial project.
Once you have your graphic designer, it's time to put their expertise to good use. At Smartbag, we offer

Transcript of The Size and Distribution of Human Settlements
Human Features Physical Features Land Use Population Density Trade Routes Topography Fresh Water Natural Resources Climate Human Settlements Topography is how the land is laid out. Cities can't grow unless they have access to fresh water. Flat land for building and farming determines the size of a settlement Climate determines how much food can be grown and the animals that can be raised Large populations can't be sustained unless plants and animals can be raised to feed them How are most people making a living? Agriculture requires large amounts of land. Forestry - cutting down trees for wood. Forested areas have low population densities Land used for business and trade supports the highest population density The number people who live in a square mile/kilometer very dense moderately dense People live there? People live where they can make money oceanic shipping routes China's 10 largest cities are along the coast highways harvesting natural resources brings people to undesirable locations National Defense military bases are established to control and defend territory or conduct secret operations People move to areas that are already populated Population density will be lower in agricultural areas.

WASHINGTON (AP) — One of three college students arrested Wednesday in the Boston Marathon bombings case was allowed to return to the United States from Kazakhstan in January despite not having a valid student visa, a federal law enforcement official told The Associated Press.
Authorities charged the student — a friend and classmate of one of the men accused of setting off the deadly explosions — with helping after the attacks to remove a laptop and backpack from the bombing suspect's dormitory room before the FBI searched it.
The government acknowledged that U.S. Customs and Border Protection was unaware that the student was no longer in school when he was let back into the United States…
Federal authorities on Wednesday arrested three college friends of Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, a bombing suspect, including Azamat Tazhayakov, a friend and classmate of Tsarnaev's at the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth. Tazhayakov left the U.S. in December and returned Jan. 20. But in early January, his student-visa status was terminated because he was academically dismissed from the university, the official told the AP…

Being an avid fan of Benji, aunty Helen (one of the owners) helps to groom the dogs there. I salute her as she's able to groom Qooki. This boy is so naughty becuase he does'nt let people clean his ears! :( Each time we send him to Benji, he gets groomed as its part of the package during his stay there.
Took a snapshot of Qooki after his stay at Benji.
*i love it when his paws are clean with trimmed nails.
I think this was when after we came back from Korea.
Only then did I understand why pet owners send their pets for grooming sessions.
We don't send him for grooming sessions, unless he stays at Benji. The sis was mentioning to me if we should pamper him with a spa treatment for his 5th birthday treat. Oh... his birthday is on 11 July. Hmm... Shall KIV this suggestion!

A mid-sized dragon tree native to the drier, leeward (Kona) side of the Big Island of Hawaii, where it grows in the remains of dry lowland forest on old lava flows between 300 and 800 m (1000 to 2700 ft.). with age, it forms a small, dichotomously branching tree to about 6 m (20 ft.) tall that carries many rosettes of leathery, green, strap-like leaves to about 40 cm (15 in.) long. It produces clusters of large, yellow flowers, followed by attractive red berries. The Hawaiian Dragon Tree is highly endangered by development, grazing animals, fire and more competitive exotic plants. Only a few natural populations remain on the island of Hawaii and within these, little rejuvenation takes place. Fortunately it is a highly attractive ornamental and does well in cultivation, is easy to germinate and to grow, and could be a very popular ornamental if seeds were more commonly available.

Toe-up FO
Pattern: Pomatomus modified to be toe-up
Yarn: Knit Picks' Memories in color Yukon
These are going into the box of wool and mothballs until Christmas. The 3rd Socks of Doom are going to be picked up and knitted with fury, and I'm going to get working on more x-mas gifts. Maybe a test knit. Who knows. My mom made the comment the other night.... "Maybe you should start shopping for gifts." I don't want to buy all my gifts. I want to knit something for everyone, or at least the majority.
There are only 5 more pairs of socks that I plan to make, and according to my counter there are 1 month, 4 weeks and 1 day till x-mas. Since I can't knit right up until x-mas, I'm going to say I have about 8 weeks to make 5 pairs of socks. Which means I'd have to knit 1.25 socks a week. Hm... can I do it? Maybe, maybe not.
Plus I have socks of Doom to make. This sock wars is slowing me down.

Well I've finally finished Halloween Ted!
So I'm now working on Samantha:
This should keep me occupied until the next page of Curl Up arrives next week, or else it better as last night I was drawn into making a list of threads that I need for the next 4 projects! OK one of them is for the little card of the angel for my friend, I have the fabric for this one and the TT (Tiny Treasure) Kitty. So will just need about 80 odd threads, some Krenic and 2 pieces of fabric. I also found the perfect design in my stash to try out hand dyed fabric, so I will try that too!

San Diego Padres: Why Trading Wil Myers Makes Sense
Free agency, production risk, selling high, position hierarchy, team philosophy & timing are factors for the San Diego Padres to consider for a trade of Wil Myers.
There's no doubt San Diego Padres' first baseman Wil Myers is a tremendous talent, and that his 2016 season was just a glimpse of what is more to come.
Predicting a season of .290, 30 2B, 30 HR, 100 RBI, 100 R & 30 SB, along with a gold glove at first base, is not a far reach.
All 30 teams would be drooling to have him as the face of their franchise.
That is the actual value Myers represents if A.J. Preller wants to trade him at the winter meetings.
That represents, at least, one or two top prospects or some good (not great) proven players.
When referring to "top prospects", there's no place for the Javier Guerra, Logan Allen, Hansel Rodriguez, Jose Rondon, Enyel de los Santos or Carlos Asuaje fringe type of prospects.
So why trade him?
Not precisely because of the wrist surgery he had in 2015. But…
- Free agency. The year A.J. Preller has said San Diego will be a contender (2019), is precisely when Myers becomes a free agent, exactly at the age of 28 years. He would be commanding 8-10 years of at least 20 million dollars per, if he keeps up the production. That is a big "if".
- Production risk. The risk of a drop in production is a reality. He K´d at a 23.7% rate (160 times) with Matt Kemp & Melvin Upton in the lineup.
- Sell high. Several teams are potential trade matches for the Padres. The Indians, Rangers, Astros, Marlins, Mets, Yankees, Pirates, are some just to name a few who would more than welcome an upgrade at first base or the corner outfield. Why not try getting, just to name a few players: Jurickson Profar, Alex Bregman, Amed Rosario, Gleyber Torres, Auston Meadows, etc.
- Position hierarchy. There are other positions that deserve more attention, specifically the middle positions (C, 2B, SS & CF).
- Team philosophy. This is the most important topic and is going to be addressed in another column.
- Timing. Acquire AA or AAA players, who could make it to the majors next year, therefore ready to compete on 2019.
There are more reasons in favor of trading Myers than keeping him.

ATHENS — In a modern high-tech office, two software engineers are busy directing an army of young engineers as they work on upgrades for their three-year-old cloud-based recruiting software company, Workable.com, which already has 3,500 customers in 50 countries and has attracted more than $34 million in venture capital.
It would be just another Silicon Valley success story if it weren't for the company's home base: Greece, a country that is the basket case in the euro zone because of economic mismanagement, public sector corruption and a youth unemployment rate that's a staggering 60 percent. The situation is so dire, suicide rates are on the rise, and there is an exodus of talent looking for opportunities abroad.

I have lemon balm plants coming up all over the place. In the cracks of the patio pavers, all over the side yard between the patio and the fence, in pots that have sat neglected for a year or so. Literally everywhere. Seeing as the DH is going to be mowing everything this weekend I decided to dig up the lemon balm plants and give them away.
The big plants you see there were yanked up from the cracks in the patio pavers, the smaller ones are the ones dug up from the lawn. I figured that rather than being mowed down or weedeated into oblivion they would rather be orphans offered to strangers on the street. We shall see if anyone takes me up on my offer.
UPDATE This morning when I walked to my car six of the plants were gone.

You say potato…
I…also…say potato.
These spicy hasselback 'taters are as delicious as they are pleasing to the eye. Thin pieces of garlic hide in between the slices like zesty buried treasure. Pain mixes with pleasure 'cuz these f*ckers are so hot, your lips will be begging for mercy. Serve them up as a piquant side dish for someone you're sure can handle a little heat.
My love affair with fire actually began later in life– just the tiniest hint of pepper used to make me squeamish but once I started to seek out dat spice, I never looked back. One time in my quest for the ever-elusive burnt tongue sensation, I found myself drawn to a hot sauce tasting bar while on a trip in New Orleans. I found a bottle called "One F*cking Drop." I laughed and scoffed, "yeahhhh right," as I put 2 drops on a piece of bread and stuffed it into my mouth. After several seconds of munching, the heat began to take hold. It spread over my body like a fever, flushing my face red and tingling all my appendages. Then the nausea hit, I doubled over in pain, and croaked to my mother that I needed some water. The woman behind the bar handed me a cup of milk and I sat down to wipe the sweat from my forehead. I couldn't even walk home; we had to take a cab a measly 5 blocks, and when we got home I spent the rest of the evening vomiting.
So, when the next day I ordered Spicy Cajun Shrimp for dinner, I realized I had a problem. but YOLO, amiright?
Ghost peppers are touted to be the hottest peppers in the world, they're ~1,000,000 Scoville heat units (which measures spiciness). That's about 400x hotter than a jalapeno and like 10x more fire than a habanero. Interestingly, a study done in 1980 calculated that eating around 3lbs of ghost peppers could easily kill off a 150-lb human. So like, careful on them potatoes mkay? Despite the fear I have probably just instilled in you, chili peppers are extremely healthy for you in moderate amounts. Capsaicin, the active ingredient in hot chilies that makes them hot, has a wide range of health benefits. After intense burning, the body produces brain chemicals called endorphins that reduce the sensation of pain. An endorphin rush can cause a feeling of euphoria.
Endorphins activate the body's opiate receptors and make us feel g-o-o-o-o-o-od. These are the same guys responsible for that post-exercise high and they can actually squash depression. So, ya gotta feel the burn if ya wanna chill out. What's more, capsaicin is used to fight inflammation in painful arthritis and psoriasis and research suggests it may help kill off prostate cancer cells. In terms of diet, this compound may help speed up our metabolic rate so we burn cals faster, suppress our appetite, and protect against the buildup of bad cholesterol. Come on errebody…spice up your life.
Ghost Pepper Hasselback Potatoes
Makes 4-5 servings
- 1 lb small potatoes, such as Yukon Golds or Dutch Yellow
- 1-2 T extra-virgin olive oil or avocado oil
- 2 T fresh rosemary, minced
- 4 cloves garlic, peeled
- ghost pepper sea salt (you can buy this online, or at a speciality spice store…if you can't get it just sub another dried hot pepper or dried red pepper flakes and add sea salt, but like, it won't be *as* hot)
- black pepper
- Preheat oven to 450.
- With a very sharp knife (preferably sharp enough to perform open heart surgery) slice each potato very thin, but not all the way down…so the potatoes fan out like an accordion.
- Slice garlic cloves length-wise, very thinly.
- In a skillet, pour 1 T olive oil or enough to coat the bottom of the pan. Lay potatoes flat (accordion side up) and stuff a couple pieces of garlic into a slit or two of each one. Drizzle the 'taters with another glug of oil.
- Sprinkle the potatoes with a dash of ghost pepper sea salt (or other dried chili flakes and salt) and pepper.
- Bake for ~20 minutes and sprinkle with rosemary.
- Bake for another 10 or so minutes or until potatoes are golden brown on top and tender when pierced with a fork. Check on them frequently, they make take more or less time depending on the size/thickness of the type of potato you're using.

In this new study, Swiss scientists used the commercial dark chocolate "Noir 72%," which contained 125mg of epicatechin per 50 g serving. The researcher recruited 65 healthy men aged 20 - 50 years, and then randomly assigned them to receive either dark chocolate or placebo two hours before the stressful event, which subjected each participant to a mock job interview and a mental arithmetic task in front of an audience.
Results showed that markers of stress increased in both groups, but the dark chocolate group showed blunted responses for cortisol and epinephrine, showing a peripheral effect. No changes were observed for central nervous system markers, such as ACTH and norepinephrine.
"Our findings indicate that acute flavonoid-rich dark chocolate intake buffers endocrine stress reactivity on the level of the adrenal gland suggesting a peripheral stress-protective effect of dark chocolate consumption, particularly, since in the chocolate group the unaffected ACTH stress response did not result in correspondingly high cortisol secretion," wrote the researchers.
Of course, from other studies, we know that there must be other compounds in chocolate that cross the blood-brain barrier (see other studies below related to cognitive health), and there are likely many compounds scientists have yet to discover, so don't think for a second that chocolate doesn't act centrally as this study suggests!
Now, go eat some chocolate.
