G1 left on the shelf
Published August 17, 2009
Whilst I've been getting more and more attached to my T-Mobile G1, it looks as though the Android development team are going through the opposite emotions. According to this story on Engadget, G1 users really need to make the most of their recent Cupcake software update, because it will probably be their last!
Supposedly, HTC put a limited amount of internal flash space into the G1, and the Android operating system will soon outgrow it. There is plenty of information emerging about the next 'Donut' update, but there's not much point in going through it here, as I still have months and months to go on my G1 contract and won't be able to enjoy any of the new stuff until I can get my hands on an updated handset.
I knew diving straight into the G1 world was going to be an early-adoptive nightmare, but I didn't realise it would end up being restrictive like this!

"Stop scouring people's faces for evidence that you're not enough. You will always find it because you've made that your goal. True belonging and self-worth are not goods; we don't negotiate their value with the world. The truth about who we are lives in our hearts." – Brene Brown.
What nourishes your heart? What would come if it were solely the God who created us? What if it were the divine God of *love* (not hate, FYI), whom we are made in the image of? The very spirit whom, when invited inward, will be delighted, rather than reluctant, to reflect back to us the essence of who we are?
"I love each of you with the same love that the Father loves me. You must continually let *my* love nourish your hearts. If you keep my commands, you will live in my love, just as I have kept my Father's commands, for I continually live nourished and empowered by his love." John 15:9-10 TPT
And contrarily, what if our listening to the world and it's people in all its ups, downs and uncertainties was the sole dictator of who we are? I think, on occasion it fails to offer the same truth and love as consistently? What then? Is there anywhere we can truly find rest?
"I am the Vine, you are the branches. When you're joined with me and I with you, the relation intimate and organic, the harvest is sure to be abundant. Separated, you can't produce a thing." John 15:5 MSG
I wonder how our lives would look, if we honoured one more than we did the other? Would we feel; Safer? Braver? Secure? Ourselves?

The eight TV2 regions that serve the Danish population have all installed SysMedia WinCAPS Live subtitling systems to provide subtitles for their regional news bulletins.
In response to government mandates on behalf of deaf and hard of hearing viewers, all TV2 regions now provide the required subtitles on their main local news bulletins from 19:30 to 20:00 each weekday evening.
As part of the new systems, a WinCAPS newsroom interface imports scripts directly from the local iNews or ENPS newsroom system. Live subtitling of unscripted content is performed using the respeaking technique with the Nuance Speech Magic speech recognition engine, as used at DR and TV2 Denmark, feeding the dedicated SpeakTITLE module in WinCAPS.
Olav Helms, Technical Project Manager with TV2 Midt-Vest, said: "We use a combination of live (re-spoken) subtitles and subtitles based on the scripts from the newsroom systems. Quite a lot of the news is prepared very close to-air, so up to 80% of the content may need to be re-spoken. If there's time in advance then of course we prepare as much as we can."
In some of the regions there's an 8-10 minute feature slot and subtitles for this are prepared in advance. Helms continued: "WinCAPS handles the switch between live re-speaking and prepared subtitles very well and with minimum effort, which is important to us as we have to do it several times during a broadcast. "
John Boulton, SysMedia's Subtitling Products Manager, added: "The particular challenges of subtitling news and other live programmes are well known to SysMedia. Having previously provided systems to both DR and TV2/Denmark, it's very pleasing to see WinCAPS now being adopted by the TV2 regions as well. Subtitling target levels for deaf and hard of hearing viewers are growing across Europe, affecting both national and regional broadcasters. Speech recognition technology is a vital ingredient for live subtitling, and we urge more national governments to follow the Danish lead when setting mandated subtitling obligations, and also to help finance development of suitable language models if they do not already exist."

- This Derek and the Dominoes song, Keep on Growing, performed by the best live band in the business right now is righteous! You know this song is in the deepest D. Trucks DNA. This song is to my ear, the most Allman Brother's with guest guitarist Eric Clapton, TTB track on any TTB recording. This is the Saturday feature track on Durham Cool to get you off your ass, out of your head, or out of bed. Time to shake off some of the cabin fever-residue from shutdown 2020. When Derek Trucks toured with Eric Clapton, Derek asked Eric how to handle the solos. Eric quickly deferred to Derek on this number in particular as he said, "You play my solo parts on Keep on Growing better than I could ever imagine." Watch the band respond to Derek on this driving number -nice to hear him channel Eric Clapton and Duane at the same time-sans slide-free at last! Caveat: We love D.T.s Slide just nice to hear him shred sans slide once in a good while.
Here is an excerpt from the Duane Allman info website page alluding to the possibility of Duane Allman having guest guitared on this Eric Clapton solo part (see urban legend).
In the guestbook of this website some remarks are posted about the possibility of Duane Allman playing on this track:
. . . . . "I'd like to have "Keep on Growing" considered as an unconfirmed track. While I realize that the very thorough "Layla Sessions- 20th Anniversary Edition" indicates Duane not being present on the track, there is more here than meets the eye. There is a tripling of lead guitars on the track. While Clapton had used overdubs these are longer than on such tracks as "Politician". Also, it was Duane's nature to do things spontaneously. I could well envision him and Tom Dowd one evening going into Criteria Studios to take a listen to the track that the rest of the band had "finished" before Duane arrived for the album sessions. I could just see Tom and Duane saying "pretty cool" but then thinking "you know, I think we might be able to add even a little more punch here". Outcomes the guitar, Tom opens up a track at the console, and Duane wails away (maybe even on a borrowed Stratocaster). They smoke a joint, take a listen to the remix, say that it's even cooler than before, and head out into the Miami night. Oh, and Tom never documents the track placement, since this was typically the responsibility of his engineers, particularly Chuck Kirkpatrick. Likely, plausible, what do you think?" . . . . .
. . . . . "Well, dzobo said 'Keep On Growing' should be considered as an unconfirmed track and I agree that. I read Randy Poe's fine work and know the consequences of that session. So telling on the recording of the 'Keep On Growing', Duane did not play at all does make sense. There's no Gibson, I agree. I've been wondering why Eric Clapton was playing as Duane did. There're some licks stamped Duane Allman. I thought Clapton had stolen the lick and over dubbed. Sadly enough I think Mr. Clapton has not had so much creative idea as Duane did, so that has been my mystery for 40 years. Then I finally found the answer here, I think". . . .
Playing in the streets, I was unknowing;
I didn't know my fate.
The game of love, but never really showing;
I thought that love could wait.
I was a young man and sure to go astray.
You walked right into my life and told me love would find a way
To keep on growing, keep on growing, keep on growing.
I was standing,
Looking in the face of one who loved me,
Feeling so ashamed.
And praying, Lord, that she could understand me,
But I didn't know her name.
She took my hand in hers and told me I was wrong.
She said you're gonna be all right boy, oh just as long
As you keep on growing, keep on growing, keep on growing. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Someday baby, who knows where or when, Lord,
Just you wait and see.
We'll be walking,
Together hand in hand, alone forever;
Woman just you and me.
'Cause time is gonna change us, Lord, and I know it's true;
Our love is gonna keep on growing and growing and it's all we gotta do.
Keep on growing, keep on growing, keep on growing. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Keep on growing, keep on growing, keep on growing.
The Tedeschi Trucks Band, "Idle Wind" with epic Derek solo, 12/1/17 Boston, MA
We include this track in memorium for a blessed, gifted musician, RIP Kofi Burbridge, keyboardist, and flutist.

Vattenfall announced on 9 January that it has submitted a project proposal for Clashindarroch II wind farm, Aberdeenshire.
The 77MW scheme would consist of 14 new turbines, each with around a 6MW capacity. The turbines are expected to generate enough electricity to meet the equivalent demand of more than 55,000 UK households – approximately 2.5 times as much power as the existing turbines on site. The project is also expected to offset more than 70,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide from entering the atmosphere.
Alison Daugherty, Project Manager for Clashindarroch II, said: "Scotland has set its goal to reach net zero by 2045, and renewable energy projects such as this will provide the platform for the decarbonisation of homes, businesses and transport needed to reach this ambition. Onshore wind can make a significant contribution, and we can deploy more powerful turbines than ever before. In fact, with one rotation of the blades, the turbines proposed for Clashindarroch II could power an average home for 16 hours."

9to5Mac reports on this. I really like the new alerts and ringtones that are part of iOS 7 and I've actually switched back from custom tones for the first time in years.
One of the worst aspects of iOS prior to iOS 7 was the god-awful alert tones that it included. Most were simply re-hashed Mac OS X effects whilst others were the audio-skeuomorphism at its very worst.

Tintin buys a model-ship for Captain Haddock. By coincidence, it is the exact replica of the ship his ancestor, Sir Francis Haddock, used to command. Tintin finds in the mast of the ship an undecipherable document. Meanwhile, Haddock has found a chest containing his ancestor's belongings. He and Tintin learn of the existence of a treasure and decide to go after it . The model-ship is stolen and Tintin learns that two other replicas of the ship exist. Tracking the leads he finds the robbers, the Bird Brothers, who live at Marlinspike castle. He gets them arrested and gets back the other two scrolls from a pick-pocket. Once the three scrolls are put back together, all there is to do is find the treasure...

I will never forget arriving in Venice. We got off the train, walked through the front doors of the train station onto a large piazza, and saw this. I was, to put it mildly, completely stunned. Sure, I had seen many photographs of Venice. But I was, I expect, a little cynical, assuming that there would be parts of Venice which would be amazing, but that the rest of the city would be ordinary, with its ugly bits, its seedy sections, especially around the train station. To emerge from the train, and suddenly be surrounded by these exquisite buildings, to see that there was an entire island filled with this beauty, was unexpected.
Our first day there was magical. From the canal in front of the station we took a boat taxi to our hotel, around the island on the main shore, the Riva degli Schiavoni not far from St Mark's Square. It was a beautiful day, cool but still, in late November, and we sat outside for a long lunch – pizza and wine of course – watching seagulls swoop in on the plates of our fellow diners, cackling loudly and as they flew off, gulping down their prize – French fries.
I started to worry that four days here would not be sufficient.
We walked through the Piazza San Marco (St Mark's Square) every day.
After that first fine day, the weather started getting chilly, and so we could only imagine what it must be like in summer, with tables and chairs lining the square, sitting in the sun, dodging the pigeons, and watching people. Cooler weather can be a real plus though, especially in a place like Venice. Only hardy tourists were about, and so there was a degree of peace compared to the chaos of high season. Along the shorefront, and into the Basilica di San Marco, we noticed lines and lines of boards, piled up on boxes. They looked like temporary seating, and were often used as such. Then one morning we discovered why they were there. A storm was crossing Europe – everywhere temperatures dipped markedly. The storm front, accompanied by a high tide, meant that we were grateful for what we realised were in fact makeshift boardwalks not seating. They kept our feet dry, especially as we entered the Cathedral, but were also a very poignant reminder, as we explored the rest of Venice, of how precarious its future is.
Of course, we visited museums and marvelled at the beauty of the Cathedrals and churches, shared kisses under the stars on the romantic Rialto Bridge, explored the markets, the Doges Palace and daily we passed by the Bridge of Sighs. During our fascinating tour of the Doge's Palace (I do love my history), we crossed over this infamous bridge into the prison cells. On a freezing November morning, wrapped up tightly in overcoats and scarves and still shivering, we imagined what it must have been like for prisoners locked in these inhospitable dungeons for days, weeks and months on end. It brought Venice's magnificence into sharp perspective.
Getting lost in Venice is well known as one of the must-do tourist experiences. It is easy to do. Whilst there are signs on the tourist route between St Mark's and the Rialto Bridge, beyond that you just follow your nose. The city is eminently walkable, lots of convenient bridges across the canals, and narrow winding alleyways. My husband would set off enthusiastically, and as the alleys got narrower and narrower, my confidence would begin to wane. I swear that at one stage we practically had to shuffle sideways to squeeze through the alley before we found ourselves back on a more main thoroughfare.
We spent hours on our feet. As the cold got more and more intense, there was always a small bar to pop into and a piping hot chocolate to help thaw us out, though unfortunately, this being Europe, we were too soon driven out by the overpowering smokey atmospheres.
The cold weather too was a great excuse to have a hearty lunch. We admired the constitution of the Italians, eating what seemed to us to be main course pasta meals as entrees, and did this once or twice. After staggering away from the tables, full to bursting, it became clear how the gorgeous young women we saw tucking into the large helpings of pasta became the large, rotund, often black-clad mamas we saw more frequently. I have to say though, I envied them the pure enjoyment they took in their meals.
One day we decided to explore the outer islands, Murano, Burano, and the Lido. We arrived in Burano on a Sunday morning. The streets were deserted. Everyone was at church. It was bitterly cold, with a severe wind chill, and after a brief exploration of the tiny island we needed to take shelter in the local bar. Nursing our cappuccino and hot chocolate, we enjoyed seeing the locals emerge from church, greeting friends and neighbours, the children running and playing despite the freezing wind, the men coming into the bar for a quick shot of something alcoholic and warming. Despite the tourists who had taken over Venice only a few minutes across the sea, here was a more traditional, tight-knit community, taking pleasure in the simple things of life. Their houses reflected their bright, cheery approach to life.
Murano of course is famous for its glass. My main memory is of enjoying watching the glassmakers in their workshops, open to visitors even on a Sunday morning. Their skill was extraordinary. Of course, the fact that the heat from their furnaces restored some feeling to my nose, fingers and toes had something to do with my new interest in glass blowing.
The highlight of Venice though is floating down the Grand Canal, marvelling at these houses, standing for centuries, beautiful and regal, but now under such threat. Venice was simply enchanting. I want, no, I think I need to go back.

Here some key achievements recognised by the audience:
- Through the networking programme of the Geological Survey Organisations (GSO), the number of data providers has increased. Data density and key information on Europe's minerals inventory and on Europe's raw materials potential are significantly improved by the ongoing work.
- Workable application has been demonstrated through the use of a coordinated vocabulary and working level standards that conform to INSPIRE guidelines. Mutual understanding impacted on the vocabulary and codes used beyond the requirements of the INSPIRE Directive.
Key statements for further consideration:
- This earned good understanding at the working level must still be achieved in communication with the public, policy makers, politicians and other groups. Industry and other organisations call on the Geological Survey Organisations (GSOs) to play a stronger role in communication and education.
- Positive examples on where and how local raw materials are used (dimension stones to preserve local monuments) help to increase ownership responsible sourcing by the local community.
- There is no one-fits-all-solution on how to communicate with the great variety of stakeholders, and the task is too large to be handled by the GSOs alone [key word: public acceptance, see also findings by MIREU] and requires continuing efforts.
- The GSOs need to keep their neutrality as this is key to be a trustworthy source of information to the public, for policy makers and industry.
- Thus, key challenges remain to provide harmonised data and information on a pan-European level and the next steps call for a supporting framework.

Healthy individuals are needed now to donate to help patients counting on lifesaving blood. In response to the urgent need, College Place United Methodist Church is hosting an American Red Cross blood drive on Monday, November 23, 1 p.m.-6 p.m., in the Social Hall, 3890 Altama Avenue, Brunswick. Testing for COVID-19 antibodies will also be administered and results will be offered via the blood donor app 10 days post donation. Social distancing protocols will be implemented. There is no data or evidence that the coronavirus can be transmitted by blood transfusion, and there have been no reported cases of transfusion transmission for any respiratory virus, including coronavirus, worldwide. The Red Cross has implemented the following measures to ensure blood drives are safe for donors and staff, including: Checking the temperature of staff and donors before entering to make sure they are healthy Providing masks to those who do not have one Providing hand sanitizer for use before and throughout the donation process Spacing beds, where possible, to follow social distancing practices between blood donors Increasing enhanced disinfecting of surfaces and equipment Individuals who would like to donate are asked to make an appointment online at redcrossblood.org and enter "Brunswick" to schedule an appointment. Donors can also save up to 15 minutes at the blood drive by completing a RapidPass®. With RapidPass®, donors complete the pre-donation reading and health history questionnaire online, on the day of donation, from a mobile device or computer. To complete a RapidPass®, follow the instructions at RedCrossBlood.org/RapidPass or use the Red Cross Blood Donor App. Categories Events Featured Press Release Previous Next

We know D.C. Get our free newsletter to stay in the know.
D.C. hardcore legends Scream are not the first band to do the punk reunion thing, and won't be the last. But they're doing it in earnest—-or at least, as earnestly as adult life permits. Longtime Scream guitarist (and former Foo Fighter) Franz Stahl spoke with Arts Desk by phone from L.A. before flying out for a show at St. Stephen's Church this Saturday, a Positive Force benefit for D.C. Jobs with Justice.
How did the Jobs with Justice benefit come about?
They'd asked [singer] Pete [Stahl] earlier to do a show that we couldn't do. Then, lo and behold, we got this show with the Bad Brains coming up in New York. So we thought, while we're out there, let's fill some dates. And it just happened that Mark [Andersen] was doing this benefit then. So it worked out. I'm pro-labor and support Jobs with Justice. I'm a union guy myself, Teamsters Local 399.
So what's the status of Scream? You've released a new record, recorded a video. Are you doing this full-on, whenever you have time, back for a little while or what?
We haven't really stopped playing since the record came out, including two weeks in the Netherlands, Germany, Italy, Spain, and Belgium. It was really cool because Scream had not been to Europe for 25 years. We used to spend quite a bit of time there in the late '80s, when we were going there almost every summer. We'd like to do more, but we all have jobs and obligations.
What kind of jobs?
Pete's job as a tour manager kicks in for tour season soon. His main band is Coheed and Cambria but they're in the middle of recording, and he needs to pay the bills so he's freelancing. He was just in Europe with Rival Sons, and before we head to D.C. he's got a show with Earthlings? out in the California desert. Pete is so well known as a good tour manager that jobs mostly fall into his lap. He has to turn down work or else he wouldn't get to play himself.
As I said I'm a Teamster and I work in the film industry. I mostly work on TV commercials. We actually just licensed a song for the soundtrack to this upcoming movie, Ted. It's with Mark Wahlberg and directed by Seth MacFarlane. It's live action but there's an animated bear. He's kind of a Family Guy bear, very rude and nasty. They're using the song "Get Free" from our new Complete Control Sessions EP.
You guys recorded that EP with your former drummer, Dave Grohl. How did that come about?
We wanted to record these new tracks and were trying to figure out places to do it, and Dave basically said "Why don't you do it at my studio? I'll pretty much do it for free." So we said OK. It was a really wonderful session, and he was around, helping us do our thing. We did the basic tracking in one day.
Were things rocky between you and Dave after you left the Foo Fighters?
Well, it didn't end well, and I never saw him for years after that. It was only occasionally that I would run into him when I moved back here to L.A. Then, you know, after time, it all dissipated but nonetheless it was never really resolved. To be honest, we haven't really talked about it. But at some point down the road we started texting each other and chatting. It became more like that when we did the record. There wasn't anything said. But I'd certainly say we're on much better terms than we were before.
You're also playing with Dave Smalley in DYS. Do you feel that punk is trafficking primarily in nostalgia now with all the reunions?
It's been going on for a while. There were certainly other bands blazing that trail, doing it before us. DYS is in the same boat as Scream because everyone has jobs. We can only go out for two weeks, and that's cutting it close for some of those guys. But I figure, everyone else is doing it, so why not get away for the weekend, have some fun, show the kids the real deal from back in the day? You'd be surprised how many young kids are coming to these shows. DYS in particular mostly plays hardcore shows which are all ages. A lot aren't even at clubs but at festivals, like the Sound and Fury festival in Northern California. I was kind of separated from that whole thing for a long time.
How is the hardcore scene different now compared to how you remember it?
Well, on the surface it seems pretty much the same as it was before. At the Sound and Fury fest there were tons of hardcore bands I hadn't even heard of, some really good ones like Undefeated. Everyone had their merch table. But it wasn't all the bands doing it but all these labels that strictly do hardcore, like Bridge 9. It's as if there were 10 or 15 Dischord tables at a show. I think at my age it's hard to put a proper spin on it because I'm older and feel a little outside the whole thing.
Scream plays with Beasts of No Nation, Möbius Strip, and Outlook on Saturday at 7 p.m. at St. Stephens Church, 1525 Newton St. NW. Positive Force benefit show for D.C. Jobs with Justice. $10.

It's December, and I'm getting nervous.
Not about getting people Christmas presents, or the vast pile of work at the office, although those are concerns. It's almost the end of the year, and I haven't come across a single candidate for my Song of the Year.
Last year, it was easy: 'Telephone,' by Lady Gaga. Yes, the record came out in late 2009, but I was first aware of the song in January 2010, which is what counts. 'Telephone' is exciting and propulsive, a good song to play in the back of your mind while bicycling. I was thinking of disqualifying it after watching the music video of Lady Gaga and Beyoncé as mass murderers, but there was really no competition.
But this year… nothing. A couple of times, the Song of the Year has been a James Bond theme, but the last James Bond movie came out in 2008.
This morning, I forced myself to sit through the new Lady Gaga video, 'Marry the Night.' The video is a pastiche of mental illness, physical fitness, and arson: spare me. But, as with last year, I'll give a pass if the song is good.
Which, alas, it isn't. There isn't much of a melody, but it could have worked if it was presented clearly and assertively. But there was more noise than music, and Gaga herself knew the words were mere poetic fluff (unlike 'Telephone') and couldn't bring herself to sing them like she meant it.
The song might have gotten my attention with different lyrics, perhaps with a guy singing it, but not the way it was. Not even close.
My first Song of the Year was in 1975, when I was 14: 'Brazil' by the Ritchie Family. Through about 2000, there were generally several candidates every year. But then things simply dried up.
I'll find something. Maybe.

Mixed Episode (A guide)
Author bio
Page last updated: 14/11/2022
This article is a detailed overview of 'mixed episode' and discusses some pertinent aspects related to this disorder. Also, this article reveals possible symptoms, diagnostic aspects and possible treatments that offer insight into this problem.
'Mixed episode' is a term used for bipolar disorder; and not a disorder itself. Bipolar disorder, which is also known as manic depressive illness, is a brain disorder that changes the mood, shifts energy, and activity levels. It also affects the ability to do daily tasks.
Bipolar disorder is of four types, all affecting the mood, energy, and activity level. The disorder is defined by meeting the diagnostic criteria for a manic episode, which is minor and a significant episode of depression, that spans from a day to a full week.
What Does a Mixed Episode Feel Like?
When a person feels symptoms of depression, it is called a mixed bipolar episode. This kind of person may also have mood elevation along with depression; a person could have full mania and depression at the same time with the highest level.
A general misconception is that a person with this condition only experiences two kinds of extreme moods. One is very high mania, and the other is very low depression. In the beginning, people having bipolar disorder do not show symptoms that reflect bipolar disorder. These episodes are not always as simple as high or low.
Many people with bipolar diagnosis feel mixed episodes, sometimes they have both kinds of disorder, and they may feel symptoms of mania along with symptoms of depression.
Bipolar Mixed Episodes
The duration of the bipolar mixed episode may vary from person to person. There is no definite answer for how long does a single cycle of mixed episode lasts. Furthermore, both the frequency and duration of cycles may vary from person to person. It might last for hours, sometimes days or weeks, and sometimes it spans over months.
A research in 1992 shows that among people having bipolar disorder, 35 percent of them may have only this cycle only one time in five years span. But one percent from the same group may have this cycle in about every three months. Although another study conducted in 2010, on people with bipolar disorder type one, suggested that mood episodes may last an average of 13 weeks.
Some conditions enhance the symptoms of people having bipolar disorder. There is a need to understand these conditions, so one can avoid triggering those symptoms; it can minimize the occurrence of the number of cycles.
For this purpose, a person should have a proper sleep, avoid the exchange of heated words with loved ones, stop taking alcohol or drugs, avoid certain medicines to minimize depression.
What is Rapid Cycling?
A person experiencing four or more cycles in a year, it is known as rapid cycling. But it is still not a fixed pattern for a person undergoing bipolar disorder because it could occur at any time. A person in an episode may feel depression, mania, and hypomania or mixed state condition in which depression and mania co-occur.
A small number of people suffer rapid cycling; it is said to be a more severe form of bipolar disorder. This kind of condition harms one's ability to function smoothly and also affects the quality of life.
Though rapid cycling is not a diagnosis, it is the number of occurrences of this illness. Both rapid cycling and bipolar disorder-I shares the same symptoms, only with a difference in the speed of occurrence of the symptoms. Symptoms of rapid cycling are the same as bipolar disorder; the only difference is the speed by which it occurs.
In some cases, rapid cycling makes the disease more serious; it happens more often in people with bipolar I disorder. But just 5% to 10% of people with bipolar disorder may fall victim to rapid cycling. There is no specific cause of the condition, but scientists have identified some common risk factors.
Women are said to be more at risk than men; people who develop symptoms at their young age have more chances of rapid cycling. A person having a history of depression may have a risk factor of rapid cycling. Moreover, some studies show that if someone had used antidepressants for a long time, he might be a victim of it. Somebody malfunctions like thyroid may be a reason for rapid cycling.
Causes of Mixed Episode
So far, there are no specific known reasons or causes for mixed episodes or bipolar disorder. However, to cause this disease, there might be several factors behind which might cause it.
- Biological differences:
Most individuals with bipolar sickness tend to have physical changes in their brains. The implication of such changes is still unknown. However, sooner or later, they may help pinpoint causes.
- Genetics:
Genetics also plays a critical role in causing this disorder. Bipolar disorder is more common in those people who have a first-hand relative bearing the same problem, such as father, mother, or any siblings. Scientists are still trying to identify genes that probably be causing or involved in creating a bipolar sickness.
Risk Factors
Aspects that might escalate the danger of evolving bipolar sickness or may become a catalyst for the first mixed episode might be depending on these factors:
- Having a first-hand relationship with someone with bipolar illnesses such as a father, mother or even siblings.
- Phases of higher strain, trauma, anxiety, depression, such as from a particular incident, the death of a loved one or any tragic life-changing event.
- Drug or alcohol misuse.
Symptoms of Mixed Episodes
There could be numerous varieties of mixed episodes and bipolar disorders. Sometimes they may include hypomania. Significant symptoms of mixed episodes can be analyzed due to several mood change cycles and unpredicted behaviors. These symptoms ultimately cause difficult situations in your routine life.
- Bipolar I disorder: You might get the primary symptom of a manic episode longer than usual ones. Or it might get followed by a stronger one – the hypomanic or disturbing episode (Psychosis).
- Bipolar II disorder: You might get some severe depression period, and the episode might stay for a long while, or you might observe at least single hypomanic episode.
- Cyclothymic disorder: You might have got many periods of mixed episodes or hypomania under teenage or in your childhood, which might have lasted for a two or one year time period.
- Other types: Other significant types may include mixed episodes or correlated disorders by certain medical situations, the more likely a Cushing's disease, multiple sclerosis, or stroke.
Relationship With Mania and Hypomania
Hypomania and mania both share the same symptoms. Though they are not hugely different from one another, yet there is something that separates them both. And it is the intensity of occurrence.
In other terms, mania is more intensified then hypomania. It could cause significant effects and more severe problems at school, college, and workplace or even on regular social activities. The primary relationship between the episodes of mania and hypomania is the following symptoms, where three or more than three symptoms could occur.
- Unusually optimistic, nervous or wired
- Improved activity, liveliness or anxiety
- Overstated sense of safety and self-assurance (euphoria)
- The reduced necessity for slumber
- Uncommonly talkativeness
- Random thoughts variation
- Distractibility
- Poorly made decision
Symptoms of Mixed Episodes (in Minors)
Indications of bipolar illness can be challenging to recognize in progenies, kids, and teenagers. It is sometimes much harder to identify whether these are normal mood swings or the outcomes of pressure, pain, or signs of psychological problems other than bipolar sickness.
Children and youngsters may have separate depressing situations or manic or hypomanic occurrences, but the arrangement can differ from that of grown-ups with bipolar sickness. And moods can quickly change throughout the time of mixed episodes.
Some kids might get mixed events and don't even show the symptoms during the episodes. The most noticeable sign of bipolar sickness in youngsters and teenagers may include severe mood swings; that are both profoundly different from their usual mood swings.
When bipolar sickness is left untreated by any negligence, it could cause severe health problems both physically and mentally. Bipolar illness could issue a significant impact on your life where the whole life cycle could get disturbed.
You may have to face the following complications:
- Complications linked to drug and alcohol use
- Thoughts of committing Suicide or even suicide attempts
- The problematic situation related to Legal or economic aspect
- Difficulties with different relationships
- Lack of performance office work or social activities
Prevention of bipolar disorder is not always guaranteed because there is no specific treatment or cure. However, the remedy is possible if the patient comes as soon as they observe even the minor signs of bipolar illness.
Being treated well is highly dependent on the time duration of how early one would approach to the medical professional. There are very few approaches that might be helpful to prevent extraordinarily harmful and severe mixed episodes of bipolar illness.
- Pay attention to threatening signs:
It is always to address the situation before it could become injurious. The same condition also applies to bipolar sickness. If you pay attention to the warning signs at the earliest, it will help you to keep the illness contained.
You might also recognize the patterns for mixed episodes and what is causing them. You should consult your doctor as early as you can. Because bipolar, if left untreated, will become even more severe for your own physical and mental well-being.
- Avoid Drugs and Alcohol Consumption:
If you are experiencing bipolar disorder, try to avoid drugs and alcohol as it will make things worse. Excessive alcohol consumption and drug abuse cause more severe mixed episodes, which will lead to mania and hypomania.
- Take your medications exactly as directed:
Escaping your proper treatment is not an option in bipolar sickness. To completely get cured, you should always maintain the period of your medication and should not dose yourself on your terms. Doing such an act might worsen the situation, and the symptoms may return with even higher intensity.

Individuals with bipolar sickness unusually don't identify how much their mood-swings and uncertain behavior affects their lives and people around them. Which is why they don't get the health treatment they desperately required.
If you are someone who is experiencing mixed episodes of bipolar disorder, you would have those moments where you would feel more productive and happy. Although, these moments don't last long, and always lead to an emotional derailment. In the end, you would only feel depressed and weary – especially if you are having legal, relationship, or financial problems.
If you have any signs of unhappiness or mania, you really should look for a doctor or other medical professional. Bipolar sickness doesn't just get cured on its own. Being treated from a mental health professional with a vast understanding of bipolar illness may help you get your unusual mixed episodic symptoms contained.
Frequently Asked Questions:
Q1. Does a Bipolar person know when they are manic?
Not really. Although the pathology involves varying degrees of 'insight' but usually an episode of mania happens as an all encompassing pathological manifestation. When a person is in a manic stage of bipolar disorder, he feels a lot of energy in him, thinks himself a creative person. In that stage, a person having this episode may have very little sleep and maybe more active.
Q2. What is a mixed episode?
A mixed episode is characterized by the presence of depression and mania, both. The duration could be for upto a week (on a daily basis).
Q3. What is a mixed episode like?
A mixed episode happens to have symptoms of depression and elevated mood, simultaneously.
Q4. Why is a mixed state dangerous?
Mixed episodes are considered dangerous and psychiatric emergencies because they have, both depressive and manic symptoms present. This duality in symptom profile doubles the suicidality (ideation, impulses and attempts).
Q5. How long does bipolar mixed episode last?
The bipolar mixed episode may last for up to 13 weeks.
Q6. Is being bipolar considered a disability?
Yes, bipolar disorder (with mixed episode or not) is considered a disability. However, how disabling it really is, depends on pathological profile of the patient and would vary from one to another.

Why Are Antelope Valley Properties Searchable on Redfin But Not On MATRIX?
Redfin is a nationwide broker that is a member of Greater Antelope Valley MLS and countless other MLS services. That gives them the right to display their data.
For whatever reason, GAV doesn't share their data with our local MLSs so we don't have a source for their listings. While we can't see their data, their members can't see listings from our local MLSs either.
When checked, there were Active Lancaster and Palmdale residential listings from CLAW, CRISNet, CRMLS, Matrix and VCRDS. If they would share their data with the MLSs in our area, we would likely share our data with them.
My understanding is that a number of GAV members also belong to CRISNet to be able to access listings taken by our local members that cover Lancaster and surrounding areas.
It doesn't appear that GAV provides their data to RPR but I did see it in FIND. There is a link on your i-Tech Home Page for FIND. You can use Redfin or Zillow as a data source, or FIND.
Keep in mind that in doing so, there is NOT an offer of compensation associated with any GAV MLS listing. If you write an offer for one of their properties, you will need to negotiate a cooperating broker compensation agreement with the listing broker prior to presenting an offer.

Charlotte, NC (February 12, 2021) – At 7 a.m. on Friday morning, February 12, a car crash with injuries occurred at an intersection in Charlotte.
Charlotte officials confirmed that the accident happened at the intersection of Westinghouse Boulevard and Wilmar Boulevard. Few details have been released but police confirmed that the accident happened when two vehicles collided with one another after entering the intersection at the same time. This led to extensive damages.
Paramedics, fire crews, and numerous other responders were immediately dispatched to the scene of the crash to help those in need. One or more victims were taken to the hospital, though their identities and conditions are not yet known.
The intersection was blocked for some time following the accident.
Police continue their investigation into the circumstances of the accident.
Our thoughts are with the injured victims and their families in hopes of a full recovery.

There has been a lot of discussion in the media in the past year about immigration.
Therefore, this may be a time to reflect back on one of the more significant organized immigration efforts in Central Alberta – the relocation of hundreds of men, women and children from the West Hebrides of Scotland to this region in the mid-1920s.
The period following the end of the First World War was a very harsh one for much of the western world.
Millions of young men had been lost in the War, or else returned home with horrific injuries to their bodies and minds. The economy had been shattered. Unemployment and financial destitution were widespread.
An energetic Roman Catholic priest, Father R. Andrew MacDonell, who had served as a military chaplain during the War, decided to do something about the enormous distress in his native Scotland.
Immigration to western Canada had successfully provided new lives and new hopes for large numbers before the War. MacDonell quite reasonably felt that it was a good way of finding solutions to the problems of the post-War world.
In 1922, he was part of a four person delegation to tour western Canada.
He decided that the Red Deer area and parts of northeastern Alberta provided the best prospects for his plans. The regions were part of a well-established agricultural heartland.
Moreover, there was a large former Indian Industrial School just west of Red Deer.
The complex had been used as an agricultural training centre by the Soldiers' Settlement Board for returned veterans. It was now available for the Hebrideans.
Father MacDonell worked ceaselessly on the other advance arrangements.
He struck an agreement with the C.P.R. to provide sea and rail transport for the immigrants. He contracted with the Soldiers' Settlement Board to help with the training of settlers and the location of potential farms throughout Alberta.
Finally, while Father MacDonell worked under the auspices of the Scottish Immigrant Aid Society, he relied extensively on the support of the federal Department of Immigration and the provincial Department of Agriculture.
There was considerable excitement in the community when the first groups of Hebrideans arrived in Red Deer on May 8th, 1923. The first train came into C.P.R. station in the morning and then another at the C.N.R. station in the afternoon.
An estimated 2,000 people turned out for the welcoming ceremonies, not far short of the entire population of the City.
The dignitaries present made lofty speeches– referring to the Hebrideans as a, "Class of people that keep their Sabbath" and as "loyal subjects" of the British Empire.
There was a realization that most of the newcomers did not speak English. Consequently, a number of local residents were recruited to speak Gaelic to the Hebrideans upon their arrival.
Over the next few weeks, the Hebrideans, who had largely been fishermen, were trained in farming and English. Father John McMillan, another Roman Catholic priest, was assigned to help with the resettlement.
As each settler and family were deemed ready, they were sent out to farms west of Red Deer, or in the Westlock and Vermillion areas.
However, before long grumblings began to emerge. Rumours began to circulate that the Hebrideans were given special favours, such as an exemption from taxation, and grants, not loans. Others claimed that Soldiers Settlement Board was displacing veterans to secure farms for the new settlers. Consequently, a public meeting was organized by the Sylvan Lake Board of Trade to dispel these rumours.
On the other hand, stories of unhappy settlers began to circulate. For some, the new strange life proved to be overwhelming. In several cases, the promised assistance in terms of loans, agricultural equipment and small houses on the new farms failed to materialize. In quite a few instances, the land provided by the S.S.B. were locations already abandoned by veterans as being almost impossible to farm.
Nevertheless, the recruitment and transport of settlers, primarily from the Barra, South Uist and Benbecula Islands, continued. Father MacDonell and the others with the Scottish Immigrant Aid Society, tried to secure new resources and adopt new plans to deal with the problems. Unfortunately, the controversies continued to grow.

Michigan AG's Consumer Protection Division Chief Appointed State Public Administrator
November 22, 2019
LANSING - Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel today praised Lt. Gov. Garlin Gilchrist's appointment of Consumer Protection Division Chief Katharyn Barron as the new State Public Administrator – an appointment Gilchrist made during his stint as Acting Governor of Michigan this week. Barron's appointment took effect late Thursday.
Barron began her career with the Attorney General's office in 1992 and has served in various roles, including the department's corrections division and state operations division. She was promoted from a senior attorney to the consumer protection division's first assistant in 2000 and became its division chief in 2004. A two-time graduate of the University of Notre Dame, Barron has also played a critical role in the Attorney General's Elder Abuse Task Force, working to protect Michigan's seniors from elder abuse, neglect and exploitation.
"Katharyn has been a strong and tenacious advocate for Michigan consumers for nearly two decades," Nessel said. "We need that dedication to service and her wealth of experience in her new role to ensure our most vulnerable populations have the protections they deserve."
The State Public Administrator is appointed by the Governor and represents and protects the interests of vulnerable individuals in guardianship and conservatorship proceedings in which the protected resident has no presumptive heirs. The appointee also represents the interests of deceased individuals in probate cases where the heirs are unknown.
To efficiently practice in all 83 counties, the State Public Administrator Act authorizes the appointment of private attorneys in each county to serve on behalf of the State Public Administrator to handle cases for the state on an as-needed basis. While the county public administrators may have additional responsibilities outside of their appointment, their limited responsibility as a public administrator is deceased estates.

Pass the inhaler: this will have you gasping, and not in a good way.
The sight of children, some as young as five, walking to or from their school wearing anti-pollution masks could soon be a commonplace on the streets of Croydon, following discussions at a council planning meeting last night.
On the agenda was a pre-application proposal to build a primary school alongside the heavily polluted Purley Way – a site which the council's own planning officials had previously rejected as being unsuitable for the four-form-of-entry primary wanted by the sponsoring academy group, the Harris Federation. The same site had been abandoned as unsuitable for young children five years ago, when the previous schools there were closed and moved to a less polluted environment.
Such is the official concern about the poor air quality along the busy, four-lane A23 that the plans submitted last night even include a scheme to seal off parts of the building from the outside world and have the school "internally ventilated".
And here's another sentence you won't have seen on Inside Croydon much in the past: Croydon Conservatives agree with this website.
Jason Perry, Croydon Tories' lead on planning issues, opposed the proposal, saying that "the council had come full circle", since it was just five years since the then Conservative-run council closed Waddon Infants school and relocated the Red Gates school away from the traffic jammed A23, to the cleaner air up on Monks Hill.
The site, left derelict since Waddon Infants was merged with Aerodrome Primary on the Waddon estate, was ear-marked for school use in the "Waddon Masterplan" drafted under the previous Tory council.
Despite not yet having planning approval, Harris has already issued literature publicising its intention to open on the Purley Way site in September 2016, with a school which will accept children from central Croydon as well as locals from Waddon, initially using temporary, Portakabin-style accommodation. Having had their ideal of 120 children per year group rejected, Harris is now pitching for a slightly reduced, three-form-entry school.
But at last night's Town Hall meeting, Councillor Perry slammed the site as "not appropriate" for the school and derided the proposed design as "bland". Perry singled out council education staff for criticism for having no information on what the demand was for other schools in the locality that might justify placing a school next to the Purley Way.
These concerns over the lack of numbers justifying the scheme were repeated by Pete Smith, Croydon council's senior planner at the meeting.
Harris has stepped in as the sponsor of the primary after Oasis pulled out in poorly disguised disappointment at the council's decision to abandon other, more expensive proposals to build the school at SEGAS House by the Town Hall, where parking for parents would have been very difficult.
At last night's meeting, even the council's education team conceded that the Purley Way site – opposite the Wing Yip Chinese superstore – was "not the most perfect location" for a school.
Joy Prince, the Labour councillor for Waddon ward, expressed her concern about the effects of pollution from vehicle exhaust on young lungs. Officials tried to claim that the air pollution monitoring station – which is coincidentally positioned on the site proposed for the school – put pollutants at the "upper end" of legal limits during rush hour traffic.Prince questioned what greater impact this might have on the health and well-being developing young children.
Having the school on the Purley Way would, of course, also see an increase in traffic on the already busy road, with an estimated additional 1,000 car journeys per weekday to bring many of the 540 pupils and staff to the school gates and take them home again.
With the school intended to satisfy the additional school place demand expected from major flat developments in central Croydon, which the original SEGAS House proposal was meant to meet, councillors expressed their concerns about extra parking and traffic pressures. The nearby Fiveways junction is a twice-daily traffic jam already, and council officials admitted that it could not take any more traffic, though they tried to suggest that Transport for London's latest proposals – including the Boris Flyover for the A232 – would make this less of a problem.
In the submission for the school, it was suggested that the worst of the air pollution locally could be mitigated by the front part of the building, including the dining facilities and school hall, being sealed off from the external atmosphere with special ventilation systems, while the children's outside activity and play areas would be placed further back from the Purley Way.
Paul Scott, the Labour group's chair of the planning committee, wanted a "zero drop-off" policy at the school gates. The solution to this demand by the council officials was an agreement with the Morrisons supermarket at Fiveways to allow parents to drop off in their under-used car park, from which "walking buses", children walking in crocodile formation, could be arranged.
Thus the "zero drop-off" policy will see the school parking displaced by just a couple of hundred yards up the A23, before the children are expected to cross Fiveways' junction and walk alongside the clouds of vehicle exhaust before crossing the A23 itself to get to the school. Hardly a healthy daily exercise regime; perhaps the council should insist as a condition of building the school that Harris should publish annual figures of inhaler use by its Purley Way pupils, before and after they start to attend.
The council's education staff told the meeting that they felt the Morrisons solution would bring benefits to Morrisons as well with "all sorts of marketing opportunities". For parents and carers the certainty of a parking space at Morrisons was "more attractive than trolling around local streets looking for parking spaces", the council's transport consultant advised.
Options for parents to walk their children from home to school, or for pupils to be able to cycle safely to their school, were never mentioned.
Perry was not convinced by the Morrisons solution and expected that people would instead park closer to the school, on residential roads, when banned from parking near the school. Perry dismissed the drop and shop proposal as unlikely to work "when it's raining in winter months and when it's dark".
There were mutterings, even some amused laughter, from the public gallery at the obvious flaws in the whole project, and some bemusement that these cannot be seen by council staff and some councillors. It seems very likely, however, that the council and Harris will use another consultation con, by staging events at short notice and at inconvenient times and locations, and then claiming a lack of opposition to a scheme that few local residents have ever heard about.
Last night, Croydon's leading education official introduced his presentation by stating triumphantly that the public consultation held earlier in the day at Waddon Leisure Centre had drawn a derisory six visitors in the three and a half hours. Which is exactly the result you get when you under-publicise an event and run it during working hours on a weekday.

Dorie Greenspan is a James Beard Award-winning cookbook author and New York Times "On Desserts" columnist who has earned legions of fans with her friendly and encouraging voice, eye for detail and meticulous recipe instructions that make even the most complicated recipes seem accessible. She's a master baker and her latest book, Dorie's Cookies, just won a James Beard Award.
You've written other books that include cookies. Why a book devoted to cookies?
Because I love them! I grew up loving them and my whole family loves them. I always knew I would do a cookie book. It was just a question of when. I had written lots of cookie recipes, but I didn't want this to be a best-of collection. So it was my chance to stretch myself and stretch the meaning of cookies.
Simple cookies or fancy cookies, which do you prefer?
My own personal style is for simper cookies. I like cookies that rely on taste, texture, and aroma more than looks. I think cookies are beautiful in their basic form. But I do have cookies you can dip in chocolate or decorate—though it's not my style.
I like to think of cookies as being an everyday pleasure. There are moments to fuss over cookies but the majority are meant to be shared and enjoyed and not fussed over. Fuss over the ingredients and making them properly – but not decorating them.
Why do we love cookies as much as we do?
We love them for a million reasons. My son Joshua says, "Cookies are memories." My mother never baked, but my memory of them is still strong. Their variety—we can have anything we love in sweets, in cookies. I've watched people eat cookies. Since they bake in batches, they are shareable. When you're given a cookie, it feels like a gift.
It's been a tough year for everyone, and I realized how happy I was making cookies and sharing them. So I'm encouraging people to make and share cookies and use #cookiesandkindness and tag me @doriegreenspan so I can see them. I think it's a lovely way to make the world a sweeter place.
Do Americans have a particular affinity for cookies?
Americans do love cookies the most. Scandinavians have a strong tradition, but cookies feel very American. In France, the word cookie exists—but the translation is chocolate chip cookie. This can lead to some confusion. When I told a French friend I was writing a book on cookies with hundreds of recipes, he didn't understand. In Paris, there aren't all that many cookies—and they are plain.
What are the secrets to baking better cookies?
Making sure you're oven is preheated because they cook a short time, using room temperature ingredients, lining sheets with Silpat or parchment, using a scoop to be consistent in size and cooking time and letting them cool. Some cookies depend on cooling for their texture or flavor to develop. Baking them properly is important too. Insulated sheets don't burn but they also don't allow cookies to brown. Be sure to cook them long enough. Pale cookies are not delicious. Check the cookie before the time is up—everybody's oven is different, get to know your oven, put an oven thermometer in the oven.
Where have you been eating on your book tour?
This morning I got up early and went to Tartine Manufactory and bought everything that they had, I didn't get to taste everything, but wow! I haven't had much time, but I still love Zuni. I want to go to Quince. I am going to Piperade, and my husband has a soft spot for Boulevard.
Where do you eat in New York?
I love Estela, I never get tired of it, I had a fabulous meal at Contra—smart and delicious. If I like a place I go back again and again. I love the lamb burger at The Breslin.

Bridge City Pizza is tucked into a discreet corner of Woodstock, next to a Plaid Pantry and mere blocks from a pretty good pot store. Discreet, that is, for an INTER-DIMENSIONAL PORTAL. When you step through the door into the tiny storefront, you're not in Portland anymore—this charming sandwich and pizza shop is straight outta Chicago. Diehards swear by the Italian beef sandwich, while the tavern-style pizza—thin crusted and sliced into squares—is slathered right to the edges with a sweet red sauce that, along with the spicy giardiniera and other toppings, are made in-house. (There's even a gluten-free pizza crust offering—we really are in Portland, after all.) For Pizza Week, Bridge City is breaking from Chicago tradition to slice their pies into triangles. Their fantastic Pizza Week slice—dubbed the Antonio Abate, after the "patron saint of pizza makers"—is topped with bacon, BBQ chicken in an Alabama white sauce, and sweet pickled veggies. It's a hearty, filling, and deeply satisfying introduction to a pizza style that's hard to come by in Portland—just remember that next time, it'll be sliced into squares.
Bridge City Pizza, 5412 SE Woodstock, bridgecitypizza.com. Bridge City's Pizza Week slices available April 18-24, Sun-Sat 12 pm-6 pm. For more about Pizza Week, see portlandpizzaweek.com.

Angry Birds Go! – Karting Game On iOS
In a similar manner to Mario Kart, the people at Rovio launched yesterday a new game, called Angry Birds Go!.
There have been a few months since the Rovio released the first subtle references to a new Angry Birds game, completely different from the experiences that we have lived to this hour. Although in recent years the titles in this series have received radical change of scenery, except Bad Piggies, they didn't distanced themselves from a system being convinced that works. At least that could be said until yesterday's launch of the new Angry Birds Go!.
Planned for a global release on December 11, creators of the series kept their words. As a small detail, this release comes days after a test launch in the AppStore in Australia and New Zealand. If you have not heard of Angry Birds Go!, If you feel delight by its characters and the entire ecosystem of the franchise, it is impossible not to be excited about this game. It's an aggressive karting game with characters like Red, Chuck, Stella or King Pig, along with many others, all drawn from the missions that have eaten years of your life from the Angry Birds game. For the sake of diversity, in addition to a large number of maps you can choose from more than 50 karts available with various skills.
Even if personally, I am not very excited about so-called free-to-play game that invites you to in-app buys, for the new Angry Birds Go!, the creators chose to provide a free game to play on the fact that you will not resist to invest real money to have a better kart. Unlike other smaller releases of the past, the new title is firstly available to iOS and then on the rest.
