"Repeated Restraint Stress Exposure During Early Withdrawal Accelerates" by Ryan Glynn, J. Rosenkranz et al.
A major challenge for treating cocaine addiction is the propensity for abstinent users to relapse. Two important triggers for relapse are cues associated with prior drug use and stressful life events. To study their interaction in promoting relapse during abstinence, we used the incubation model of craving and relapse in which cue-induced drug seeking progressively intensifies ('incubates') during withdrawal from extended-access cocaine self-administration. We tested rats for cue-induced cocaine seeking on withdrawal day (WD) 1. Rats were then subjected to repeated restraint stress or control conditions (seven sessions held between WD6 and WD14). All rats were tested again for cue-induced cocaine seeking on WD15, 1 day after the last stress or control session. Although controls showed a time-dependent increase in cue-induced cocaine seeking (incubation), rats exposed to repeated stress in early withdrawal exhibited a more robust increase in seeking behavior between WD1 and WD15. In separate stressed and control rats,equivalent cocaine seeking was observed on WD48. These results indicate that repeated stress in early withdrawal accelerates incubation of cocaine craving, although craving plateaus at the same level were observed in controls. However, 1 month after the WD48 test, rats subjected to repeated stress in early withdrawal showed enhanced cue-induced cocaine seeking following acute (24 hours) food deprivation stress. Together, these data indicate that chronic stress exposure enhances the initial rate of incubation of craving during early withdrawal, resulting in increased vulnerability to cue-induced relapse during this period, and may lead to a persistent increase in vulnerability to the relapse-promoting effects of stress.

In 2015 the Main Street, Trumansburg, NY building owned by Ben Guthrie and Hilary Gifford needed structural repair to the foundation. That created a nice creek-side patio area but no way to get to it. They made plans to add stairs and have artistic railings created by metal artist, Durand Van Doren. A window at the Gimme Coffee shop was replaced with a beautiful salvaged door to get to the stairs. But across from the patio the view was a glaring empty cement block wall and they soon decided it needed something. That's where I come in.
Hilary got a group together for ideas and input on a mural. The general consensus was that the design should be natural. I put together a design that they liked and Hilary submitted it to the Community Arts Partnership which gave us a grant to cover part of the expense and we were off and running. There was a lot of planning and fundraising to be done and Hilary took care of that brilliantly.
Ben Guthrie, Hilary Gifford and I beginning the mural, summer 2016.
There was much preparation before starting to paint—cement work, power washing, sealing the wall, setting up scaffolding, etc. Ben was a master of all of that. And he helped get the arc correct for the tunnel which was crucial. Hilary and I began the painting on July 24, 2016 in the heat of the summer. (We quickly discovered that it was worth waiting for the shade of the afternoon.) The summer was one of drought, which actually allowed us more access to the creek bed.
The tunnel is roughed in and I have started the 'stones' and a bit of vegetation. Hilary has roughed in the other end of the tunnel as well.
We purposely left the rough and broken-looking areas in order to make it feel like a place that had been abandoned for a long time. Of course it has still been prepped.
Here is a better view of the tunnel area once the scaffolding was moved.
Here I am adding one of the vines and a shadow beside it that will make it look like it is away from the wall.
I'm getting used to working on the top of the scaffold and have put in more of the greenery and the first amphibian has been roughed in at the edge of the tunnel.
This view from the bridge shows more of the expanse of the wall we are working on. I designed it so that we incorporated the crumbling look and rough stone of the creek area.
Adding the foliage was the slowest work.
Slow going but here I have added another amphibian and am working on the highlights of one of the ferns.
Here, the first phase is done. We hope to add to the left side of the wall near the bridge in the future.

Del is almost three years old. A boy your age ought to behave well. Julie was too drunk to drive home, so he crashed out on Jef's couch. She became wealthy thanks to hard work. We don't need it anymore. Will you wait a second? She smoothly and elegantly poured the water into the glass. That's not what Lenora is talking about. Merat pretty much forgot about the meeting. Can Sam really speak French?
I am quite willing to do anything for you. Helge was on vacation with his son when his wife died. She went to America with a view to studying medicine. Come on! Talk to me, Trang. Vic seldom wins arguments. The people expected a victory speech. She was about thirty years old, and had a sufficiently plump and cheerful face, though it was twisted up into an odd expression of tightness that made it comical. What on earth has happened? I can on no condition forgive her. I don't agree with it.
Don't throw the soup away, the grandfather will eat it up! Ernst only does what he has to do. The victim of blackmail has been paying hush money for years, but now he realizes it is foolish, and he has decided not to pay a red cent more. What proof do you have that Pieter was the one who stole your mother's necklace? Ping made a point of visiting me. I'm not talking about that. Isn't that a little strange? If the young does not learn it, the old does not know it. Michael has some hearing loss and finds it difficult to hear speech when there's background noise. I thought about all the times we used to play together as kids.
I know that Jarvis hurt you. He is a silent, manly boy. I'd like to pay for the repairs. I can't fight any longer. Mwa looked disappointed. I want to talk to all of them. They aimed their guns at her. The typhoon became weaker and changed into a storm. Natraj has been brought to justice. Dalton is a graduate.
Don't go against his wishes. Oh! how I wish I were as tall as the other trees, then I would spread out my branches on every side, and my top would overlook the wide world. Let's wait for a few days. They agreed to raise wages and to stop hiring children. I like to talk about tasty food with my friends. How many kids named Farouk are in your class? The changes were not made. Grace swims very fast. I keep telling you I don't want your help. Even if he asks for forgiveness, I would still be mad.
Can I bring my friend with me? The political centre has increasingly lost direction. I don't think Beth will agree to do that. Herman should be home by now, but he's still at his office. He's happy that he passed that exam. Just tell me who you are. I don't negotiate. I don't even know where to start. Is it useless to argue? Sorrel wished he had put more money into that investment.
We need to study more in order to know how to express our opinions better. Somebody's going to get hurt. I could not help laughing to see him dancing. She hadn't seen him in a long time. German has over 100 million speakers and it is the official language in Germany and Austria. Dan wanted to see Linda's room. From here, it's about three kilometers to the coast. I don't have any more money. Tell me you don't know anything about this. Hypocrisy is my abhorrence.
I can't change the direction of the wind, but I can adjust my sails to always reach my destination. Everyone except me knew it. I cannot take a rest at the office. I don't want the manager to see me. I've been trying to reach Alan for hours already, but his line is constantly busy. Daniel went to Korea as a Christian missionary. Do you remember her? Where there is heart, there is luck. Since you're going to Ping's house anyway, could you give this to Noam? The word is out of fashion. Ramesh is a raw vegan. He only eats raw non-animal products.
He failed in my having been surprised at the examination. If you don't go, I won't, either. Kerri is quite conceited, isn't he? Let's be reasonable. His father died, and to make matters worse, his mother fell ill. Are you a leader or a follower? That'll be great. The students rebelled against the school's dress code. Ann was probably right. You've kept secrets from me, haven't you?
Only you can make me happy. I was very happy to see my old friend. I'll let them explain. I ran toward the door. The steam shovels dug down three stories on one side and four stories on the other side. He himself was not the light. Double-click the icon. The accident deprived them of their happiness. Is this happening today? The wonderful performance of this actress exceeded all expectations.

For those who don’t know much about it, the Keto diet is high in fat, moderate or adequate in protein and low or absent carbs.
If you haven’t heard of the Keto diet, you’re either someone who is digitally challenged or a social media virgin. In the past year, the Ketogenic diet, often spoken about in reverent tones, has already amassed a cult following online — there are innumerable pictures, recipes, miniblogs, vlogs and more to tell you all about it.
For those who don’t know much about it, the Keto diet is high in fat, moderate or adequate in protein and low or absent carbs. A large number of people swear by it. According to some reports, Keto is apparently known to help with more than just weight loss, and has been credited to helping those suffering from diabetes, Lyme disease, epilepsy and anxiety.
Keto diets are 70-80 per cent fat while the recommended dietary intake of fat shouldn’t exceed 10 per cent. This diet immediately increases your risk of contacting high-fat conditions.
Keto diet has higher lipid levels and high cholesterol is a possible fallout.
There might be fatty deposits on the liver, excessive thirst, tachycardia (rapid heartbeat), fatigue, confusion, light-headedness, shakiness, sweating and chills. In addition, women may also experience disruption of periods, which is known as amenorrhoea. In children, these diets have been linked to kidney stones, stunted growth (because of reduced Insulin Growth Factor1), and bone fractures (also related to reduced Insulin Growth Factor 1).
These diets were designed for epileptic patients primarily. When there is no medical problem, one should avoid such diets.
These diets actually activate ketone production. It may work for some, but not for others. Your body composition will change and you will be left with a higher fat to muscle ratio.
When you get back to your regular eating of carbs etc., your metabolism will be less efficient because of the higher fat content. Because muscle burns more calories at rest than fat, you will end up gaining more weight than you originally lost. It may work, therefore, in the short term, but definitely not in the long term.
Why risk plugging your arteries, adding to your visceral fat (the precursor to many metabolic diseases) or bumping up your abdominal fat when keeping it simple is all you need?

Companies like Wal-Mart, Exxon Mobil and the makers of Motrin have all learned the hard way that online assaults from external users on Web 2.0 sites like Facebook and Twitter can damage their brands.
A survey by online researcher Hitwise found that such major companies should also move quickly to ensure that users seeking information about their brands online are really led to their sites by search engines. The results were released today.
Hitwise analyzed 30 leading e-commerce brands in the airline, appliance and electronics and insurance industries and found that when one in 10 US Internet searchers seek a specific brand, they are led away from the Web site of the brand owner, said Heather Hopkins, Hitwise senior online analyst in a blog post.
Overall, in the four weeks ending September 27, 2008, an average of 87 percent of searches for the top branded search terms like "Southwest Airlines" or "Best Buy" sent users to the brand owners' Web site.
At the high end, sent 96 percent of searchers typing "USAA" into the query box of a search engine were led to the Web site of insurer United Services Automobile Association, 94 percent of searches for United Healthcare were led to its site and Northwest Airlines was successful 92 percent of the time in directing searches to its site.
On the other hand, only 66 percent of users searching for a specific top appliance retailer, which Hitwise did not name, were led to the company's Web site, the research found. Hitwise also found only 75 percent of searches for one of the 10 largest airlines, also not identified, led to the company's Web site, while a top unnamed insurance provider's site was visited by 78 percent users trying to find it, Hitwise noted.
"This issue is huge for marketers," Hopkins noted. "When you search for a brand in the phone book, you don't find that brand's competitors listed. But when you search online, that brand's fiercest competitors often appear in the sponsored listings. Online businesses need to be aware of the extent of the problem and to understand the best ways to deal with threats."
While 90 percent of visits from searchers of "Southwest Airlines" went to the Southwest Airlines site only 66 percent of users searching for "Southwest Airlines reservations" made it to the airline's site. Some of the bad searches are caused by misspelled search queries, or when the query is combined with other search terms, Hopkins went on to note. For example while 96 percent of searches for "USAA" went to the USAA Web site, only 78 percent of "USAA insurance" queries were led to the site. About 12 percent of those queries were led to the USInsuranceOnline site, which includes links to multiple insurance brokers ready to provide price quotes to potential customers, Hitwise found.

It is important for you to know what’s covered in your quote for general liability insurance in Pennsylvania.
Many business owners believe their property insurance will cover damage from a disaster. That is a myth. In fact, many disasters may not be covered at all.
In general, your property insurance will cover you from the loss of a common risk like an accident, theft, or vandalism. Fire is normally covered under your property insurance, but flooding may not be. In fact, even disaster insurance may not cover flooding. Talk to your agent regarding damage from flooding, wind, and other natural disasters.
In the world of insurance today, there are various packages available to cover a multitude of risks. The key is to maximize coverage without duplication. Work with your licensed insurance professional, your commercial insurance agent to figure out specifically what coverage(s) is needed to protect your business property.
Speak with your agent or broker and determine what coverage and risk your particular business could face. You’ll need to compare policy coverage, premiums, risks, deductibles, and many other factors in selecting your final property insurance coverage. Like many business people, after weighing the options, you’ll want to choose the most coverage you can afford.
It’s also important to remember the effect of any type of disaster. Loss of income insurance should be discussed. Often, we forget about the downtime a disaster will bring to the business. Loss of income insurance can cover the liabilities and owner’s income while reopening the business after a disaster. Check with your agent about this important coverage. Often, it is added as an option and sold as a separate policy.
In closing, also consider general liability insurance and all the coverage with one insurance company. Generally, multiple policies are afforded discounts whether personal or business insurance. Don’t hesitate to ask your licensed insurance professional if discounts are available.
It always makes sense to check with the Pennsylvania Insurance Department as well.

We had a fabulous week painting in Tuscany!
The weather was fabulous all week. We stayed with Laura and Fillipo at their beautiful eco B&B Acora de Chianti. Uninterrupted painting in tranquil surroundings, we sat amongst and painted in their olive groves and vineyards, it was idyllic. We also had a beautiful air conditioned studio as our base where we were able to escape from the heat of the afternoon.
Laura organised a local chef to come each evening to cook us authentic Tuscan dishes, we felt so spoilt. The food was excellent and was all washed down with Fillipos own wine from the vines surrounding our lovely location.
We took a tour of Castello Verazzanno, the local king of Chianti Classico wine makers and had the opportunity to sketch in their beautiful gardens and grounds.
Our group of painters enjoyed the location very much, we made them a small sketchbook each with a selection of interesting surfaces to work on. Handmade paper from Our visit to India, Watercolour paper and cartridge paper. Our painters produced some lovely work in Watercolour, Pastel, Acrylic, Oil, Charcoal and Pen and Wash.
The beautiful Tuscan landscape is a wonderful subject to paint. It was one of our challenges to capturing the delicate Italian colours and mist of the rolling hills as they dissapear and fade into the distance.
This has become our favourite painting location and will definitely be on our list for 2018!

Co-founder conflicts are a major cause of closures of businesses in India.
The author lists out a checklist to follow to avoid conflicts between cofounders.
"Abhi To Film Baki Hai Mere Yaar!," Tarun, a flamboyant budding entrepreneur, had posted this Bollywood quote on his Facebook page after his food-tech startup received “fantastic response” from cinemagoers in Hyderabad theatres.
Within a week of its launch, DineSmart saw revenues grow with each passing day.
The startup was addressing “a major pain point experienced by all moviegoers --how to get their favourite drinks and snacks while watching a movie”, says Tarun Aellaboina founder and CEO of DineSmart.
In the following six weeks, DineSmart’s revenues were touching nearly four lakhs though it was still not making a profit.
However, given initial traction, wherein DineSmart registered 3000 customers with 40 percent retention, Tarun was confident that his startup was on track to create a unique user experience that he could expand to other industries such as hotels and restaurants.
In a short time, the freshly toasted sandwiches with unique flavours were being served at most startup events within the twin city.
In less than two years, since its launch in 2013, the startup went on to open four outlets.
‘Wich Please’ started clocking up sales to the tune of eight to ten lakhs per month with a "decent double-digit margin."
The start-up had a potential to grow at 10X, says Rahul Sachdev, Founder and CEO of Wich Please.
Both the budding entrepreneurs were surfing forward with confidence having spotted and climbed the right wave.
However, they weren't prepared for their surfing board to break - in the form of their co-founders.
Both Rahul and Tarun were facing conflicts within their respective companies.
Eventually due to disputes between co-founders both the startups suffered – DineSmart came to a grinding halt with Tarun left alone to take it forward, and Rahul had to step away from the day-to-day management of Wich Please to ensure “it was alive” even at the cost of experiencing stagnation in growth.
There could be multiple reasons why co-founders fall apart during an entrepreneurial journey.
However, there are ways to minimize the possibility of a fallout by doing a few simple things before starting on a journey.
Vision: It is critical that co-founders are aligned towards a shared vision and invest all their energies towards achieving their defined goal.
According to Rahul, Wich Please team should have defined its vision for next five to ten years before rolling out the startup as that would have prevented many of the pitfalls that the startups experienced since its launch.
2. Commitment: Ask your potential co-founder “can you give a personal commitment for next ten years.
Are you committed enough to put in seven to ten years that is required to take the company to its destination,” advises Tarun.
3. Long term and short term expectation: Before embarking on a long entrepreneurial journey- it is must that you are aware of the long term and short term expectations of your cofounders especially from the day one.
Rahul explains some people may join your startup to gain experience, make money or for passion- let that be known to all in the team.
This way the core founding team comprises of people who are in it for a long haul and are ready to rough out the ups and downs during a startup's lifecycle, according to Tarun.
4. Personal Life Challenges: Rahul explains, on any given day, budding entrepreneurs spend more time with each other than they might with their life partner or family members- so it is important to know each other’s personal life and challenges.
It becomes even more critical for a bootstrapped startup. “Find out who all have a say on your co-founder’s decision maker ability – is it his family or friends,” explains Tarun. Are there any family restriction and or commitments?
Both Rahul and Tarun, agree that personal life challenges have the potential to completely disturb the equation among co-founder and the future of a startup.
5. Roles & Responsibilities: Have defined roles and responsibilities, so there is no ambiguity on who does what as this helps in keeping everybody to their task, says Rahul.
Both entrepreneurs agree, most disputes begin when roles and responsibilities aren't defined.
Budding entrepreneurs searching for a co-founder should look at the personality traits in addition to core competencies and skills of their fellow entrepreneur.

however, there are ways to minimize the possibility of a fallout by doing a few simple things before starting on a journey.
vision: it is critical that co-founders are aligned towards a shared vision and invest all their energies towards achieving their defined goal.
according to rahul, wich please team should have defined its vision for next five to ten years before rolling out the startup as that would have prevented many of the pitfalls that the startups experienced since its launch.
2. commitment: ask your potential co-founder “can you give a personal commitment for next ten years.
are you committed enough to put in seven to ten years that is required to take the company to its destination,” advises tarun.
3. long term and short term expectation: before embarking on a long entrepreneurial journey- it is must that you are aware of the long term and short term expectations of your cofounders especially from the day one.
rahul explains some people may join your startup to gain experience, make money or for passion- let that be known to all in the team.
this way the core founding team comprises of people who are in it for a long haul and are ready to rough out the ups and downs during a startup's lifecycle, according to tarun.
4. personal life challenges: rahul explains, on any given day, budding entrepreneurs spend more time with each other than they might with their life partner or family members- so it is important to know each other’s personal life and challenges.
it becomes even more critical for a bootstrapped startup. “find out who all have a say on your co-founder’s decision maker ability – is it his family or friends,” explains tarun. are there any family restriction and or commitments?
both rahul and tarun, agree that personal life challenges have the potential to completely disturb the equation among co-founder and the future of a startup.
5. roles & responsibilities: have defined roles and responsibilities, so there is no ambiguity on who does what as this helps in keeping everybody to their task, says rahul.
both entrepreneurs agree, most disputes begin when roles and responsibilities aren't defined.
budding entrepreneurs searching for a co-founder should look at the personality traits in addition to core competencies and skills of their fellow entrepreneur.

It is truly an exciting time, is corn the wonder food source or fuel source? Well both of course! From popcorn to ethanol to biodiesel, who would have thought that corn could do all of that.
Ethanol producer VeraSun Energy has said it will build a plant that can produce biodiesel from the oil from distillers’ grains–the waste product from ethanol.
“We are not convinced that the general public is willing to continue purchasing biofuels unless they are price competitive with petroleum fuels,” said James Peeples, vice president of marketing for PMC Marketing Group, an ethanol and biodiesel distributor, earlier this month.

If nothing else, the statistic that “…only about 8 percent of corporate tax expenditure benefits are targeted to specific industries such as renewable energy, insurance, oil and gas, and coal” is worth adding to your mental quiver, just in case you’re having a discussion about corporate tax loopholes at a party or something.
“The prices on a representative slice of the subprime bond market have doubled from 30 cents on the dollar at the low point of the crisis to roughly 60 cents today.
“Shares of General Motors (GM) were up 0.2% after hours, following the company’s announcement that it is selling its stake in Delphi Automotive for $3.8 billion.
“The rebuilding process will need big volumes of material,” Wei Jiafu, chairman of China Cosco (Holdings) Co., China’s biggest dry-bulk operator, said Wednesday in Hong Kong at an earnings news conference.
Up in the Pine Tree State, hundreds of existing home sellers are joining together this week, knocking at least $10,000 off their list prices for a limited-time offer. The deal ends Sunday, so act fast if you’re intrigued. Home builders do sales all the time, but a whole state in the bargain bin?
‘They feed on a wide range of important food crops. Crops such as sweet corn, apples, pears, grapes, berries, peaches, tomatoes and peppers appear to be the most vulnerable.
‘Some growers have lost their entire crop to stink bug infestations.
This adds up to many millions of dollars of losses in crop values.
If you’re already shocked by how much your favorite cut of beef costs at the supermarket, brace yourself because prices will keep going up.
Surging commodity prices already have consumers paying more for groceries such as eggs, milk, cereal and meat. The price of beef in particular has shot through the roof.
Travelers today are looking for more than just a free bag of peanuts and soda on flights and during hotel stays.
According to a recent survey, by joining traveler loyalty programs with airlines and hotels around the globe, consumers are earning points and redeeming them for not only free travel, but gift cards and even cash, to offset the slowly recovering economy—even if they are traveling on their company’s dime. Don Berg, vice president of Loyalty Programs and Partnerships for InterContinental Hotels Group (IHG) said due to the economic climate, members of loyalty programs are looking to cash in more and more on everyday items, instead of another vacation.
Traders are saying the scariest moment of the second quarter will be on April 27, when Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke will hold the first ever press briefing following a monetary policy decision by the central bank.
This change in the Fed’s communication with the markets alone is enough to give investors the jitters, but the nervousness is compounded by the anticipation of a signal by the Fed chief as to whether the quantitative easing that has fueled this bull market will continue past its stated end date in June.

There are renewed calls to kill cormorants in the Great Lakes. There are far fewer of these migratory birds left in the region after years of lethal control. But anglers and some congressmen say there are still too many and they eat too many fish. Conflict with these waterbirds is longstanding in coastal communtities where fishing is important and the birds nest by the hundreds or even thousands.
In 2004, there were almost 1,800 double-crested cormorant nests on Goose Island, a strip of land in northern Lake Huron about 500 feet wide and less than a mile long.
Since the 1930s, Sargent Sand Company has held a permit to mine sand from its property that's surrounded by Ludington State Park.
For years, the 400 acre mine was dormant as the company negotiated to sell its land to the Michigan Department of Natural Resources.
Last year, the mine cranked back up again, and the neighbors aren’t too happy about it.
Listen to today's Environment Report above.
Students in northern Michigan are planting clones of ancient sequoias today.
There's a grove of sequoias along the shores of Lake Michigan on the site of a former Morton Salt factory.
Sequoia trees are not native to Michigan, but this grove has grown in Manistee for more than 65 years when they were brought here from the West Coast. Now, those trees are going to take another trip, or their clones will.
Students who attend Interlochen Arts Academy are planting them on campus along Green Lake. The clones are from Archangel Ancient Tree Archive.
David Milarch is the group's co-founder. He says they’re planting clones of redwoods around the world today.
“Ninety-six percent of all of our redwoods have been cut down, butchered and sold,” Milarch says.
Both the Interlochen Center for the Arts and nearby Interlochen State Park have lost many trees recently due to disease and bug infestation.
Head park ranger Chris Stark has mixed feelings about the planting. He'd prefer to plant native varieties, such as the white pine.
The Interlochen Center for the Arts is creating a program that will teach young musicians the "discipline of popular music songwriting."
Interlochen has traditionally been a mecca for classical music, but in recent years the institution (which hosts both a summer camp and a year-long school) has embraced more contemporary art forms.
For example, students can major in "motion picture arts" and study the latest filmmaking techniques.
Interlochen has just posted a job opening for a lead instructor for its new singer/songwriter program.
This program will lead students to creative approaches to popular musical composition by developing skills in melody, harmony, arranging, and lyric writing, while seeking to nurture a distinct individual writing and performance style.
and, most famously, Jewel Kilcher.
For young people who want a career in the arts, a handful of prestigious summer camps are a vital early step. Interlochen, in northern Michigan, is one of them.
Jessye Norman, Josh Groban, Norah Jones and Lorin Maazel all spent summers at Interlochen when they were younger. But with tuition ranging from $3,000 to $10,000, depending on the campers' age and discipline, does it mean that only rich kids get to follow in their footsteps? It turns out that some extra-resourceful young people are paving their own way. I went to camp to meet them.
