These healthy Pumpkin Breakfast Cookies make a nutritious and grab-and-go breakfast that tastes like fall! This gluten-free and clean eating breakfast treat is made with wholegrain oats, cranberries, pumpkin seeds and honey.
In the 2 years since posting this wonderful recipe for the first time, it has quickly become the most popular recipe on this site! Mainly thanks to Pinterest! There is not much to be improved or updated on this post. The recipe in ON SPOT! I’ve remade them many times since without changing anything.
Even 2 years later, I still love the images – the lighting was awesome that day. These were some of my first food photos that I truly loved. Maybe I could take slightly better ones now, but the difference would be minimal. And I want to hold on to these almost for nostalgic reasons.
The only one thing this post was missing was a video! Which is hereby remedied. I am leaving the rest of the post and the recipe unadulterated for you below. I have never been a fan of cooking first thing in the morning or making any breakfast that involves a lot of prep.
And some days I am especially happy to have my breakfast already waiting in the fridge. I am not a morning person, still some mornings are harder than others. Like the morning after a night of my baby Olivia randomly deciding to wake up no less than 6(!) times for no obvious reasons.
Or when I went to bed waayy later than I should have either because I was working, binge-watching Netflix, or finishing just one more chapter of a book. It’s on those super-rough mornings that I could hug myself for having prepared some make-ahead breakfast like these breakfast cookies (or awesome overnight oats).
They are like having a bowl of yummy oatmeal with lots of mix-ins only without the bowl. The convenient cookie shape offers itself for breakfast on-the-go.
Preheat oven to 350 F. Line a baking sheet.
In a small bowl warm Spectrum® coconut oil and honey (either microwave, inside preheating oven or on the stove top).
In a large bowl combine both kinds of oats, cranberries, pumpkin seeds, ground flax, pumpkin pie spice and salt.
Add pumpkin puree, eggs and warmed coconut oil and honey.
Drop about ¼ cup sized scoops of the mixture onto a cookie sheet and flatten (cookies won’t spread while baking).
Bake for about 15-20 minutes until edges are lightly browned.
Let cookies cool on baking sheet before moving to an airtight storage container.
Ahh you guys, there is seriously nothing I love more than delicious sizzling chicken fajitas! I could eat them pretty much on any given weeknight, I mean not only are they packed with tons of flavor, but with just a few simple ingredients you can easily make a healthy filling dinner! Being that fajitas are literally one of our favorite go-to meals, I thought it’d be fun to do a little spin on the traditional fajita dish and simply roll the chicken up around the veggies to make one perfect little serving.
My hubby absolutely RAVED about these and has already requested that we add them into our weekly meal rotation. As you know we love to meal prep and these chicken roll-ups make perfect leftovers for lunches or dinner. The chicken is super moist, the peppers are cooked just perfectly inside the roll-ups and the whole dish literally only takes about 30 minutes to throw together (after the chicken has marinated).
I went ahead and purchased thin sliced chicken cutlets just to make life a little easier, but you could of course use regular chicken breasts, slice them in half or into thirds (depending on the size) and pound them out until they are about a 1/4-inch thick. Either way will work just fine!
Then comes the fun part – marinating!! Please do not skip this part to save time, the longer the chicken marinates, the more flavor they will have so this is really important. The marinade is super easy to make and is a basic recipe that I use for all my fajita recipes which includes a little olive oil, lime juice and garlic along with a combination of chili powder, cumin, oregano, salt and fresh chopped cilantro.
I also add a pinch of cayenne pepper or hot sauce because I like a little heat with my fajitas, but you can leave this out if you don’t like things too spicy. I promise the flavor will still be there!
Oh and don’t let the fact that this recipe requires chicken being rolled up around veggies be a deterrent to you – this couldn’t be easier. Seriously. Any novice home cook (or even your kiddos) could do this! All you need are toothpicks or some kitchen twine, but I personally find that toothpicks are much easier to use annnd I’m sure you already have those lying around your kitchen somewhere. Just roll the chicken up around the slices of bell pepper and secure both sides with a toothpick.
Easy and done! Once the chicken bakes and you’re ready to eat you can remove the toothpicks and the chicken will still remain wrapped around the veggies.
Such an easy dish that takes so little time!
For the chicken breasts, if you purchased pre-sliced chicken cutlets then skip to the next step.
If using chicken breasts, slice them longways into 2 even slices and firmly pound the chicken using the smooth side of a meat tenderizer to an even thickness of about ¼ inch.
making sure they are completely coated.
Allow chicken to marinate for a minimum of one hour to overnight.
Repeat this step until all the cutlets have been rolled up and place seam side down in a prepared baking dish.
uncovered, at 375 for about 25 to 30 minutes or until the juices run clear.
Is anyone else completely freaked out by the monster-sized chicken breasts you seen in the stores these days? Pick up a pack of those guys from the store, and three ( because there’s always three in a pack for some reason ) manage to weigh a pound and a half to two pounds. It’s nuts!
Even when I get the fancy $9-per-pound hormone-free cage-free massaged-since-birth ocean-front free-roaming Prius-driving chicken breasts, they are STILL pretty huge. Oh, and still three to a pack.
Which is funny, because every recipe ever written for boneless skinless chicken breasts seems to call for four. I’m fighting back! My Easy, Basic Boneless Skinless Chicken Breasts recipe calls for three, because I’m not in cahoots with the chicken people, and I know how chicken comes packed.
I’m going to do my best to make sure that all of my future chicken recipes ( including this one ) is in a multiple of 3 as well — it just makes things easier for everyone, and is how I tend to really cook. So here, we have another chicken recipe using the ubiquitous boneless, skinless chicken breast, and it calls for only three pieces of chicken! Usually, half of one of these guys is more than enough to fill me up, particularly when crammed full of delicious, tangy feta and cooked spinach.
8 oz chopped frozen spinach, cooked according to package directions and squeezed dry.
Mix the chopped frozen spinach, feta, cream cheese, garlic and half of the salt in a medium sized bowl.
Cut a pocket into each chicken breast.
flat on top of the breast.
Make sure that you are pressing the spatula down hard enough to hold the chicken in place.
You may need to actually dig the edge of the spatula into the meat just a little bit to accomplish this.
Insert the knife ⅔ of the way into the side of the thickest part of the chicken, and slice down to the thinnest part, stopping before you cut through; you want a pocket not a flap.
Separate the spinach and cheese mixture into three parts, and roll into thick logs.
Stuff each log into the pocket you made in the chicken breasts.
today I have a family favorite. 🙂 This Peanut Butter Kiss Cookies recipe is a must have at any holiday gathering.
Peanut butter and chocolate…. what more could you ask for?
Basically this is a delicious and creamy peanut butter cookie recipe with a yummy kiss pressed into the middle. It is oh so good!
Cream together peanut butter, butter, sugar and brown sugar until smooth.
Add egg and vanilla and beat together.
Whisk together flour, baking soda and salt in a separate bowl.
Slowly add dry ingredients to the creamed mixture, beating until incorporated.
Roll into 24 1″ balls and place on cookie sheet several inches apart.
Gently make an indentation in the center of each cookie.
Place a Hershey Kiss in the center of each cookie.

Globalization is our current reality.
Globalization is our current reality. Most successful companies have established themselves internationally. Foreign policy is becoming as much of a concern as domestic policy. The environment, global warming, and lack of resources are international problems requiring international brainstorming and problem-solving. As English language teachers we have an incredible position to prepare our young learners to be global citizens! We are preparing the next generation of bilingual, trilingual, and multilingual speakers who know about various cultures and are able to collaborate with peers worldwide. It is an exciting time to be an English language teacher, isn't it?!
Primarily, I teach 2 to 10 year-olds in Germany and when I see their faces I get so excited because I know one of them will be a diplomat, international leader, company leader, and so forth. They will be the ones out there problem-solving on world decisions. How do I, as their guide, ensure I prepare them for this hefty task?
To begin with I think we have to find ways to extend learning outside our classroom walls. We need our children to realize learning takes place around them and that they only have to chase their curiosities! We are surrounded by various technologies that allow us to extend learning beyond the classroom walls. When we begin to integrate these technologies effectively we motivate our students to continue their learning journey well after they leave our classrooms.
I will briefly cover Skype, Wikis, and some free mobile apps in this post, but for further exploration please visit my wiki, Technology4Kids, with student examples and several more resources added weekly.
For more resources about classroom management, recording the conversations, and more visit my Skype resources page!
Ultimately, you want to limit the time you have to keep maintaining the wiki. After creating an initial template and look for the students, then have them each create a page and teach them how to update it! By having parents join your wiki they automatically get updates in their emails when changes have been made to the wiki so everytime a student updates the parents will visit the wiki page. You can also give different permissions to kids. Choose 2 or 3 students a week to be the editors and be in charge of the wiki page. Keep the rest as just writers. Have a list of duties prepared for the students who will be the editors for the week.

Do Miracles happen only by GOD’s grace?
Are Miracles really miracles or they are just illusions?
Is it a “Miracle” if something unexpected but positive happens?
Is it a “Miracle” if we get something that we wanted but it seemed difficult to achieve?
Is it just a coincidence which we sometimes term as Miracle?
Probably those who have ever experienced miracle will have answers to above questions.
We are at times so hopeful for the things we want & things which are almost impossible to get that we start assuming a miracle will happen one day and our desires, our dreams will turn into reality. Though its good to be hopeful & optimistic but to some extent only. We cannot just assume that come what may…a Miracle will occur and all our wishes will be fulfilled.
To turn any dream into reality we need to put in our efforts. To get desired results we need to perform our actions. So, what I believe is that: “Most of the times, Miracles also happen if we want them to happen. .if we let them happen.” We just can’t sit, wait & watch for a miracle to happen. One must not depend on them & wait for them.
But yes, “MIRACLES DO HAPPEN”.

This was such a beautiful posting for today- thank you!
Akanksha – I love hearing about miracles. It’s such a wonderful thing when they happen. They come in all forms — some monumental while others small and sweet. Funny how ironic you wrote about miracles, as the last post I wrote was also on a miracle that happened to me called “My Little Miracle”.
Thank you for sharing some of the sweet unexpected joys of life…miracles.
Its so nice of you to leave your views on this post & well your post was worth reading. Such experiences makes us believe more firmly that “Miracles do happen”.
Thank you Akanksha and for reading my story. Miracles are happening around us all the time not only in the big things but the small subtle events as well. Life has a way of demanding our attention and the miracles are always there whether we stop to notice or not.
Dont know why but miracle, metaphysics do not appeal me very much but It is just depends how you looks, in universe every event is miracle itself.
Share any event in your life whom you consider as miracle. It is just random thought or there is anything specfic occur which made you think like that.

text: Purpose of reviewThis review describes the current state-of-the-art with respect to the modification of red blood cells for creating quality controls for use in immunohaematology.Recent findingsThe author has identifed five technologies able to create modified red blood cells potentially suitable for use in quality control. Two of the technologies use enzymes, glycosidases or glycosyltransferases, to modify red blood cells and create ABO quality control cells. A third technology uses polyethylene glycol to reduce antigen expression by masking epitopes, whereas a fourth technology is speculative and involves the in-vitro generation of genetically modified erythroid cells. None of these four technologies are in routine use to make commercially available quality controls. A fifth commercially available technology creates quality controls by adding synthetic blood group A and B antigens (FSLs) to group O red blood cells, creating what are referred to as ‘kodecytes’. This technology is also being used to add blood group peptides onto red cells for use in the future in a range of diagnostic applications.SummaryTransducing cell-derived erythroid populations with blood group encoding or silencing vectors, and the use of FSLs to create kodecytes, are two technologies with the potential to provide quality controls for laboratory use.

I’ve wanted to read this book for a long time, as it is constantly quoted as being part of many various “cannons,” including but not limited to exemplary prose writing, strong female voice, and encapsulation of the zeitgeist of a time and place, specifically in the title essay.
I’ve especially enjoyed her pieces that capture a certain era in California, as that’s where I grew up, and “On Self Respect” is widely seen as a feminist must-read.
I really cannot recommend this book enough. I had a general idea of the fact that race was a socially constructed invention, but little concrete knowledge of the machinations of this construction.
The title could be a bit misleading — it is not really the history of “white people,” but the history of the idea of race itself, especially of how the current black/white dichotomy came to be.
Although it is a bit long and dry, I listened to the audiobook while I was painting and I was truly hooked. The content is fascinating enough in and of itself that I appreciated Painter’s lack of bells and whistles. Additionally, I frequently read with an editor’s mind (or what I flatter myself to be one, more likely), mentally chopping out and whittling down what I feel to be unnecessary sections. Painter’s writing needed none of that; it is straight to the point and organized with clear direction and intent.
If you’re looking to learn more about the concept of race, how it was formed, and what it means, The History of White People is a fantastic introduction to those ideas.
A bit of a trendy book at the moment, Homegoing lives up to the hype.
I can’t really imagine how difficult this book must have been to write. It spans so many places, times, cultures, and seemingly endless forms of pain. Yet, Gyasi adeptly handles it all, investing her readers in her characters through only one small chapter on each of them. Perhaps it is the generational progression of the characters that allows us to not have to start our emotional investment from scratch, but still, it is a feat.
Gyasi does an excellent job of making historical and political points louder through their quiet. They are seamlessly intertwined in the deeply personal stories she tells, making us feel it all the more and avoiding any of the didactic tone that can turn one off in a work of fiction.
What the novel hits home most profoundly is the unending, unlimited legacy of the slave trade on black people in both America and in the places they were stolen from. Anyone who thinks that the misfortunes of the heroin addict in Harlem is unrelated to this history will be dutifully put in their place by an exceptional passage in the second to last chapter where a successful black student gives an interior monologue on his rage over white privilege.
Whether you approach the novel to educate yourself in seeing these connections or just to immerse yourself in a compelling, human journey, you will be rewarded either way.
I’ll keep this one simple — it is always a good choice to read Toni Morrison.
Walls’s story is truly unique, and her writing of it is made especially profound by the push-and-pull she imbues it with. On the one hand, her parents and the lives they have chosen, or rather, the lives they desire, are in many ways universally appealing. We have within all of us a call to freedom, a wish to turn away from society’s limitations and to pursue our own ways of thinking and being. The inability of this family to achieve that in a positive, life-affirming way is agonizing, and one of the strongest undercurrents in the novel that keeps the reader clinging, if ever so lightly, to the shining moments of these parents.
On the other hand, many of the pitfalls that arise in this pursuit are driven by the less admirable (although still relatable) traits of self-centered stubbornness, inability to make sacrifices, delusion, and addiction, and lead to the inexcusable abuse of powerless children.
Overall, it is a fascinating memoir of an exceptional upbringing, told with nuance and compassion.
This is the one from 2016 that I snuck in!
Although it is a bit long and not exactly a page-turner, I cannot stop recommending this book. It was so eye-opening to me about the inner workings of our systems, the very recent oppressions of women, and stories of people we should be learning about and don’t.
I love the way that Gore Schiff went about making her selections — she chose women whose stories not only spoke to her personally, but also renewed her faith in the power of our political system. This is not to say that every women in this book was a docile government worker by any means, but that they focused their goals on creating systemic change and achieved it.
In a time of renewed activism and sense of civic responsibility, the diverse grouping of women that Gore Schiff highlights in this important book feel especially relevant.
Have any of you read these books? What did you think? I’m so thankful that these women were willing to put so much of themselves on the line to share their stories and their views — inspiration, indeed!

Since the last blog post, our team has spent two more days in Ireland before returning to Sheffield in time to attend church at The Crowded House. We have one more week of travel ahead of us, as we will be traveling to Leeds for a campus evaluation on Tuesday and to London for holiday from Thursday to Saturday.
The last two days of Ireland were incredible. Friday was personally one of the greatest days of my life. The beauty of Ireland defined this experience. The road trip to the Cliffs of Moher was about three hours long, and most of that time was spent peering out the windows in amazement as we watched the Irish country side, full of green hills and mountains, pass by in the distance. In the morning we stopped at the Bunratty Castle, which also had preserved houses from people in that time period. After we had taken enough pictures and raided the gift shop we set off for the Cliffs of Moher - as pictured below.
To think that the God who created everything in and around this planet cares about us puny humans is unthinkable. He who made everything that we can see, touch, smell, and breathe loves his children and is intricately involved in our lives. That truth is amazing and should bring us to worship.
Before the day was finished, we took the long way home to see the limestone fields. The country side was covered in large limestone fields that went all the way up the sides of the mountains. There were also hand-made rock walls that seemed to stretch forever that apparently have been there for hundreds of years. We made a quick stop to see another castle, and afterword stopped in a city called Galway to find some food we happened to stop and listen to a few street performing musicians, and requested a song from one of them. We got back to the amazing place we stayed past midnight.
For our last day of holiday we went back to Dublin to see a few attractions that we weren’t able to see our first day there. To save some money we had a picnic in the park with the team, and then we took a tour through an old jail called the Kilmainham jail, which was fascinating as well as incredibly humbling. Afterword, we had to return our rental cars, get through security, and get on the plane back to Leeds airport. As we boarded our plane, everyone was sad to leave the beautiful county of Ireland, but excited to come back to Sheffield and the campus once again.
Since we enjoyed it so much the first time, we spend the night in the Leeds International Airport as we waited for our 5 a.m. bus to arrive. We arrived back in Sheffield at about 7:30, passed out in our beds for two hours, and then woke up to go to church. This was just a quick snapshot into our busy, but unforgettable three day adventure in Ireland.

Five is the name of the commercial building constructed in 2017 by the multinational construction company Skanska in Smíchov, Prague’s business district. The complex covers an area of 14000 m2, and its interiors are intended for use as offices. Fittingly, they have a strong industrial vibe, thanks to the use of raw, rough materials and minimal furniture.
Cutting-edge sustainability solutions have been used throughout in the building's design, with the result that Five has been awarded the highest level of green building certification for its energy efficiency and ecological footprint (LEED Platinum Certificate).
Lighting plays an important role in maximising energy savings, and LED fixtures were chosen for the entire building. In the edifice’s spacious reception area, Rio 1 linear profiles in three different lengths – 510 mm, 1010 mm and 2010 mm – are recessed into the rough floor. The profiles, which have a colour temperature of 2800K, create a pattern of diffuse light across the floor. In the waiting area, the profiles are recessed parallel to each other, while in the area that leads to the lifts they weave perpendicularly to each other.

The PAC ViscoPro 2100 is the next generation viscometer for the process industries. By incorporating the oscillating piston method, which is an industry-proven sensor technology, the ViscoPro 2100 Online Viscosity Monitoring System is the best choice for applications requiring fast, real-time analysis with reliable data that correlates tightly with laboratory results.
Cambridge Viscosity is the global leader in small sample fluid viscosity measurement. For more than a quarter century we have served the oil and gas; paint, ink and coating; pharmaceutical and chemical industries with highly accurate and exceptionally reliable in-process and laboratory viscometers.
Our unique advantages derive from the proprietary oscillating piston technology we have developed. This core technology enables our instruments to measure fluid viscosity with precision and keep the measurement chamber clean; all the while requiring a very small amount of fluid.
Small sample viscosity is essential in applications where the value of the fluid is high and only small amounts are available such as PVT analysis for exploration or refrigeration; optical and biomedical coating control; and lubrication oil analysis. It is equally critical in large fluid processes such as refining and chemicals where in-process and laboratory measurements must exactly correspond. In these large stream cases, conditioning in-process fluid is important so that lab-matching accurate and repeatable measurements can be made, and conditioning as small a process stream as possible is economically preferable. Further, small sample viscosity requires small sensors, which are easy to install in a wide variety of process locations.
Our instruments are widely used wherever accurate fluid viscosity measurements are required. Cambridge sensors are physically small and robust so that they can be installed easily in many difficult process environments including hazardous locations and even on-engines and compressors. Our customers select Cambridge Viscosity laboratory and process viscometers time and time again.
Measuring viscosity under extreme pressure and temperature is a challenge!
Special equipment and techniques are needed. Download our free PVT Whitepaper and learn more.

The Institute of Environmental Accountants is a specialized accounting institution for the good purpose of promoting professionalism in environmental quality. We deals with the ways where the existing accounting theory and practice fail to adequately account for the increasing environmental concerns and crises which are attributed to the economic activities of nations, states and organizations.
Specifically, we identify measure and report environmental costs i.e., degradation, control and management. While environmental scientist, assess environmental status to determine degradation, it is the responsibility of the environmental accountant to determine the cost of such degradation to the economy, at local and national levels. Most importantly, the environmental accountant also determines the net balance of preventing degradation from occurring. It is for instance, the environmental accountant who will be able to determine the environmental cost/balance sheet and the overall effect on the national economy.

When a large number of your teeth are missing or must be removed for your health, the function and appearance of your original teeth need to be restored with artificial teeth. In modern times, there are new ways to do this, such as implants. The traditional method is dentures.
There are new, more natural-looking materials being used for dental dentures today, and the design has steadily improved. You can expect your dentures to provide comfortable talking and chewing.
Will my Dentures be Removable?
An over-denture, which is made to fit over a small number of remaining teeth or over dental implants.
Implant dentures, which are partial or full dentures anchored to small titanium posts, which have been surgically set into the jawbone. They may be made removable, for ease of cleaning.
Fixed partial dental dentures (another name for a dental bridge) are not removable by the patient, since they are bonded to crowned teeth on either side of the false tooth or teeth.
All types of dentures are supported by existing teeth and/or by the bones and tissues of the mouth. Time brings change, so your dentures may not fit properly anymore. You may have noticed a gradual decrease in comfort or fit over the years.
If you have been wearing dentures now for some years and are thinking of replacing them, ask Dr. Dorfman about the improvements that have been made recently both in the design and the materials used for dentures. A better fit can result in a younger appearance and make day-to-day life much more enjoyable. After all, whether natural or artificial, your teeth are always with you.
You may have had a problem with loose dentures, or perhaps you are looking into the future and want to ensure you never have to be concerned about that.
If so, ask about implant dentures. These are securely snapped over titanium screws (implants) that have been surgically set directly into the jawbone. This technique can be used for either lower or upper dentures, or both, and can improve your smile, speech and chewing ability.
Which are the Best Dentures?
At Tribeca Dental Care, Dr. Dorfman will advise you as to which particular system of dentures would be best in your case, taking into consideration health, convenience and cost.
Placing mini implants requires only one visit, with no incision or stitches.

you may have had a problem with loose dentures, or perhaps you are looking into the future and want to ensure you never have to be concerned about that.
if so, ask about implant dentures. these are securely snapped over titanium screws (implants) that have been surgically set directly into the jawbone. this technique can be used for either lower or upper dentures, or both, and can improve your smile, speech and chewing ability.
which are the best dentures?
at tribeca dental care, dr. dorfman will advise you as to which particular system of dentures would be best in your case, taking into consideration health, convenience and cost.
placing mini implants requires only one visit, with no incision or stitches.

What gets injured in a fingertip injury?
Injured components may include skin, bone, nail, nailbed, tendon, and the pulp, the padded area of the fingertip (see Figure 1). The skin on the palm side of our fingertips is specialized in that it has many more nerve endings than most other parts of our body. These nerve endings enable the fine sensation we have in our fingertips, and they can also be damaged. When this specialized skin is injured, exact replacement may be difficult.
Fingertip injuries are one of the more common injuries in the hand. The fingertips are exposed in many of our activities. They can be crushed, such as by a closing door, a hammer, or a heavy object dropped onto the finger. They can be cut with a knife or power tool, such as a saw, sander, lawnmower, or snowblower.
It is important to know how the injury occurred, and about any medical problems, as these can factor into deciding about treatment. Examination reveals the extent of tissue injury and its size. Sensation and circulation of the tip are assessed. Mobility of the tip is also checked, as injuries can occur to the tendons that bend or straighten the fingertip (see web pages on extensor tendon and flexor tendon injuries). X-rays are often needed to see if the bone has been injured.
Severe crush or avulsion injuries can completely remove some or all of the tissue at the fingertip. If just skin is removed and the defect is less than a centimeter in diameter, it is often possible to treat these injuries with simple dressing changes. If there is a little bit of bone exposed at the tip, it can sometimes be trimmed back slightly and treated with dressings, too. For larger skin defects, skin grafting is occasionally recommended. Smaller grafts can be obtained from the little finger side of the hand. Larger grafts may be harvested from the forearm or groin. If the nailbed is injured, it is repaired (see web page on nailbed injuries).
When patients lose more than skin and have exposed bone, the injury may need to be covered with a flap of skin that has some soft tissue with it for padding. Small wounds on the tip of the finger may be covered with a flap from the injured finger. Larger wounds, such as those that result in substantial loss of the pulp, require a flap that is elevated from an adjacent finger (see Figure 2) or other source. The flap remains attached to its original site so that it has blood supply while it is stitched to the finger wound. A skin graft is used to cover the donor site defect. After a few weeks the flap has sufficient blood supply coming from the injured finger as it heals into its new location, and can be divided from its origin and fully set into the wound.
Fractures of the bone in the tip of the finger are common. Very small fractures of the end or tuft of the bone usually do not affect the strength of the bone. Repair of the soft tissue, such as the nail bed, usually re-aligns and stabilizes these bone fragments. Fractures closer to the joint may require a splint or even a temporary metal pin(s) to hold the bone fragments in proper position. If the damage is too severe, amputation of the fingertip may be necessary.
Fingertip sensitivity is common and may last for many months. Sometimes the feeling in the fingertip is limited. The contour may have some distortion, and the quality and texture of the skin may be different than the very specialized skin that normally covers the fingertip. There also may be some deformity at the donor site of a graft or flap. Stiffness can be a concern, especially if a flap is needed.
If there is a nailbed injury that is sharp and can be repaired, a normal nail is likely. If there is more severe crushing of the nail bed, then there is a greater likelihood of nail bed scarring and subsequent deformity of the nail (see brochure or web page on Nailbed Injuries).

A Frenchwoman has become the fourth foreign student to be brutally murdered in the Australian city of Brisbane in almost as many months, police said on Wednesday.
The battered and naked body of a 21-year-old woman was found in a park near her apartment after what police called "a brutal attack" in the early hours of Friday morning.
"We believe the cause of death is a brain injury from blunt trauma. It's a particularly aggressive attack," Detective Inspector Rod Kemp told reporters. No one has been arrested.
The exchange student's killing follows the stabbing to death of Singaporean Meena Narayanan in the city last week.
Just months before South Korean student Eunji Ban, 23, was found battered to death in a Brisbane park and weeks later the body of another South Korean, Min Tae Kim, 28, was discovered in a shallow grave in a backyard.
There is no suggestion any of the deaths are linked, but Kemp said the spate of killings was a real worry.
"We are a safe society, I believe. But now this is the (fourth) international student (to be killed), and of course it's a concern to us."
Police said they were falling victim simply through being in wrong place at the wrong time.
Queensland state Premier Campbell Newman insisted visitors from overseas had nothing to fear.
"I believe it is safe not only for international students, but for Brisbane students," he said. "Thankfully they found offenders in those other situations."

We have run half-day introductions to lowercase Copperplate calligraphy; we have run half-day introductions to uppercase Copperplate. Never have we run a full-day intro to both! If you have been itching to get an immersive start to calligraphy-- as well as prepare yourself for holiday card addressing season-- this is your class!
Students will be given a brief history of Copperplate Script, an overview of tools and materials, and instruction on how to use them. After learning some basic strokes using a traditional steel nib and oblique pen holder, students will delve into learning the lower case letters, and after a lunch break, finish the day with learning uppercase as well as envelope addressing instruction. Students will leave class with detailed exemplars and guide sheets for practice at home as well as all the supplies provided. No calligraphy experience (or good handwriting!) needed, though advanced or intermediate students will also benefit from guidence by an experienced instructor. Supplies are included in the cost of tuition.
An opportunity to purchase usable vintage stamp collections like the one shown above will also be available to students!
Lunch can be found in the form or pizza or sandwiches at some nearby spots, or feel free to bring a sack lunch!

This is predominantly a group of working citizens who are not currently served by public assistance programs, and they were less-intensively targeted in community-based ACA outreach efforts. Surveys have suggested that people in this demographic group were largely unaware that health insurance was available for them, and almost entirely unaware that they might qualify for financial assistance.

Paper first - Four Toscotec-supplied AHEAD-2.0L PRODERGY tissue machines began production at Asia Pulp and Paper’s OKI mill in Indonesia.
Asia Pulp and Paper (APP) has begun using four AHEAD-2.0L PRODERGY tissue machines at its OKI mill, in South Sumatra, Indonesia, as part of a series of AHEAD-2.0L PRODERGY tissue machines.
These four machines, included in a major contract between Toscotec and APP, started production ahead of schedule, in just 60 days between August 14th and October 14th 2018.
Thanks to the successful cooperation between APP and Toscotec, these eight start-ups have been completed over a total period of only 8 and a half months. The first two AHEAD-2.0L PRODERGY machines were started up at Perawang mill in the first quarter of 2018, and the following six machines at OKI mill in the second and third quarters of 2018.
The eight AHEAD-2.0L PRODERGY machines all have a paper width of 5,600 mm and an operating speed of 2,000 m/min. They feature a second-generation TT SYD Steel Yankee Dryer of 22 feet diameter, which represents the biggest diameter for tissue application worldwide. The energy saving design of the drying section relies entirely on steam, as the chosen energy source, including the steam-heated TT Milltech-DYH hoods.
