Music is more than notes and sound. It is also a technical discipline, cultural artifact, and form of communication. At Brandeis, we take an integrated approach to the study of music that incorporates all these dimensions.
Our undergraduate program combines music history, theory, composition and performance. As a music major, you'll take one to two years of theory and training in musicianship skills, and three semesters of music history. You'll participate in university ensembles and take electives chosen from a broad selection of topics. If you wish to focus on a particular area, you may enroll in one of five specialized tracks: composition, cultural studies, history, performance or musical theater performance.
Our music program will not only give you a deep appreciation of the complexity and richness of music—from its basic rules and its range of styles to its performance—but it will also prepare you for a variety of careers. Many of our graduates pursue master's and doctoral degrees in performance, composition, musicology, music production and technology and other related fields. Others go on to become music professors, arts administrators, opera singers, cantors, orchestral musicians, composers, conductors, musical theater directors, TV and record producers, media and digital arts specialists—not to mention doctors, attorneys and teachers.
Music is thriving at Brandeis. We have an award-winning faculty comprised of composers, scholars, instrumentalists, vocalists and conductors who will give you individualized attention. We've got a state-of-the-art music center with 30 pianos (in addition to the one Leonard Bernstein played as a child!), an electro-acoustic studio and a large collection of historical instruments, including a French double harpsichord, a cornamuse and Renaissance flutes.
When you're not studying or practicing, you'll have a front-row seat to hear the renowned Lydian String Quartet. And you'll have myriad opportunities to perform with others—whether your thing is world music, early music, jazz, improv, choral, chamber music or orchestra.
In keeping with the Brandeis commitment to social justice, we see and teach music as a shared human experience, and a way of understanding others, creating a sense of community, and fostering cross-cultural appreciation.
The two-semester Senior Project in Music is your opportunity to complete a thesis, musical performance or composition (or some combination) that is appropriate to the track you’re enrolled in. In all cases, the project must include written work.
The Leonard Bernstein Fellowship is a highly selective chamber music program for which you may apply by submitting a portfolio of your work. The fellowship provides a small number of accomplished vocalists and instrumentalists the benefits of private lessons, additional performance opportunities, and a $20,500 renewable scholarship.
Our distinguished faculty members have received many awards, including the Pulitzer Prize, a Guggenheim Fellowship, the Koussevitzky Prize, the Aaron Copland Award, the Charles Ives Fellowship, the Naumburg Award for Excellence in Chamber Music—not to mention Grammy nominations.
Yu-Hui Chang was a featured guest artist at the Wellesley Composers Conference. Her new, experimental work, "In Gentle Breeze, We Sing," premiered in the Innovation Series at the National Theater and Concert Hall in Taipei.
Karen Desmond has co-edited the book "The Montpellier Codex: The Final Fascicle. Contents, Contexts, Chronologies" (Boydell & Brewer, 2018). She is also working on a project that is the first project to encode medieval music in the original medieval notation.
A CD of Robert Nieske's "Sonata for Flute and Piano" and arrangements of holiday songs was recorded by Linda Bento-rei, flute, and Vytas Baksis, piano.
Each year, you may participate in the Leonard Bernstein Festival of the Creative Arts, a weeklong showcase of music, art and theater. You may apply for a grant in support of your project.
Studying abroad is an excellent way to deepen your cross-cultural awareness, which is fundamental to music appreciation. Many music students elect to spend time abroad in places like Tanzania, Australia, China, Austria, England, Israel and Ireland.
Through its ties to studios in England, France, Italy and Sweden, the Brandeis Electro-Acoustic Music Studio presents further study abroad opportunities.
The musical training you'll receive as you earn your bachelor of arts in music will prepare you well for a master's or doctoral degree in performance, composition, musicology, music production and technology, and education. Jacob Friedman ’12 is pursuing a PhD in musicology at Princeton University.
Our recent graduates have become music professors, arts administrators, opera singers, cantors, orchestral musicians, composers, conductors, musical theater directors, TV and record producers, and media and digital arts specialists. Others have become doctors, attorneys, and elementary and secondary school teachers.
Rachel J. Peters ’99, a double major in music and theatre arts, has found a highly successful career as a composer, lyricist, and librettist in musical theatre, opera, and musical underscoring. She is the recipient of discovery and commissioning grants from OPERA America, winner of the Anna Sosenko Assist Trust and multiple ASCAPlus awards, a MAC Wallowitch Award finalist, and a member of ASCAP and the Dramatists Guild. In the 2018-2019 season, she will premiere her operas "Companionship" at Fort Worth Opera and "Steve" with Boston Opera Collaborative.
Matthew Stern ’08, a double major in vocal performance and NEJS, was music director for the critically acclaimed British production of Stephen Sondheim's Merrily We Roll Along at Boston's Huntington Theater. Now on the faculty of the Boston Conservatory at Berklee, he teaches musical theater, graduate styles and analysis, and vocal repertoire. He received an Independent Reviewers of New England Award as Best Director.
After serving as a White House intern in the office of First Lady Michelle Obama, Nicholas Brown ’10 went on to become a music specialist at the Library of Congress and is currently the Director of Special Productions & Initiatives at Washington Performing Art.
Composer, clarinetist, and music educator Jared Field ’11 recently premiered "Rachel," a new musical about environmentalist Rachel Carson. Co-written with sister Jessie Field ’13, the musical was accepted into the New York Musical Theater Festival's Developmental Reading Program, and received the Harold and Mimi Steinberg Prize for Best Original Play.
Contact Professor Sarah Mead, Undergraduate Advising Head, to learn more about the Music curriculum and requirements for the Music major and minor.
Contact one of the advisers below for more information about pursuing a specific track.
You might choose the music minor to complement a major in mathematics, computer science, philosophy or another field. See the requirements for the minor in the University Bulletin.
"Art Isn't Everything; It's About Everything"
After attending an arts intensive high school, Yoni Battat ’13 wanted to continue his education at a place where he could pursue music as well as other interests. After arriving on the Brandeis campus, he found a quotation on a bulletin board in Slosberg Music Center. Reading these words attributed new meaning to his path at Brandeis.

Andrea has been leading The Solar Foundation since the relaunch of the organization in 2010, starting out as the single employee. In those early years, it was just Andrea and a shoe-string budget. Andrea expanded the staff and budget within a few short years, and today, The Solar Foundation leads several multi-million dollar programs dedicated to advancing solar energy growth.
As President and Executive Director, Andrea sets the tone, provides overall management and strategic direction, and works closely with the Board to develop and implement high-level research and national educational initiatives to promote the expanded use of solar and solar-compatible technologies. The Solar Foundation’s major initiatives include the annual National Solar Jobs Census, which tracks job growth in the American solar industry; SolSmart, which helps local governments reduce barriers and open up solar markets; and workforce development programs to help the solar industry thrive.
Prior to The Solar Foundation, Andrea ran the City of Milwaukee’s U.S. Department of Energy Solar America Cities program, “Milwaukee Shines,” from 2008-2010. In this position, she helped Milwaukee implement policies aimed at increasing solar energy capacity, including the implementation of one of the nation’s first Property Assessed Clean Energy financing programs and the establishment of the Milwaukee Metro Solar Hot Water Business Council.
Andrea is a graduate of the University of Minnesota and the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. At the University of Wisconsin, she earned her Master’s in Nonprofit Leadership and Management and was awarded the highly competitive Center for Economic Development fellowship through the UW Consortium for Economic Opportunity. | 2019-04-23T06:34:11Z | https://www.thesolarfoundation.org/andrea-luecke/ |
The prototype of the graphic form of the Armenian letter Ն is the Greek “nu” – not the classical N, but one of its varieties. But it is not possible to determine, which variant exactly was used by Mashtots, because there were numerous variations of Ն in the IV–V centuries.
Letter Յ denotes the sound [y]. At first, its phonetic meaning was confined to this, but with the lapse of time it changed. Apparently, no later than the XIII century, letter Յ got to be pronounced as [h] at the beginning of words. | 2019-04-26T06:05:46Z | http://imyerevan.com/en/society/category/171/page/3/ |

The other day we all decided to take a walk around the pond. �It has been absolutely beautiful here in Floyd this week. �Our morning temperatures have been mid 40’s. �Amazing!! �Wonderful sleeping weather. �The days have only gotten into the mid 70’s. �I love it. �For my part, the Good Lord could just let it be this way all summer and I would be happy.
The girls had lots of fun. �They came in the house and got their wading shoes and spent lots of time wading in the pond. �Jasper even joined them for a while. �He doesn’t care much for water. �I suppose after his accident the first winter, he thinks water isn’t much fun.
Lots of cool bugs were flying around the pond.
I have no idea what they are but if you look closely you can see the tiny blue bugs that were hovering around the blade of grass.
We have so many of these birds. �I couldn’t tell for sure from the picture if they were barn swallows or tree swallows. �Both birds are abundant here. �They will fly down to the pond and touch the water. �It is amazing to watch. �Sometimes as many as 50 or more just skipping above the water. �I’m not sure if they are getting a drink or catching bugs but it is one of our favorite evening passtimes to watch them.
I thought I would share with you all a picture of the lower garden.� It is doing pretty good.� The upper garden is having a little more of a difficult time.� We are having trouble keeping the calves out of it.� They seem to find new ways to get out every day and seem to enjoy the corn in the upper garden very much.� Shadow is getting too old to chase them and Jasper is just learning.� He is on the accelerated learning program right now as I want him to learn quickly.� He actually is getting much better.� He “sometimes” listens and obeys commands.� Sometimes he is just so happy that the calves are running from him, he doesn’t care where they are running.� Oh well, that’s life on a farm.
I just love to see a sunrise or a sunset.� I think it comes from living in the mountains of southwest virginia.� Where I grew up, you never saw either one.�Our house was in what we call a “holler” so�the view was blocked by the mountains.� The sun would hit our yard about 11:00 and go down about 3:00.� I guess thats one of the reasons I love living here in Floyd.� In the summer, the sun is in our yard about 6:30 and leaves about�8:00.� Lots of sunshine, which I love.� This morning God put on another show for us to enjoy.� Thank you Lord!� School today as usual.� It is hard to concentrate on school now though.� We feel like we’re been let out of prison.� The temperatue is warm, the snow is almost gone, so of course everyone wants to be outside instead of in.� We try to mix a little of both so it doesn’t get to bad.� Jasper (young dog) had his first experience with a skunk last night.� Not very pleasant.� I tried a remedy one of the ladies from church told me about.� I sprayed him with Febreeze.� It actually helped quite a lot.� He still smells but not as bad.�I don’t have to cook tonight,�we are eating� at church.� Roast beef and potatoes with all the trimmings.� It has been a long time since we went to church on Wednesday night.� When the weather is bad, they call it off.�� I am definitely looking forward to going tonight.� The girls are involved in TeamKids there at church.� They alternate Wednesdays doing childrens choir and handbells.� They really enjoy the handbells.� The adults are doing a Beth Moore study on the fruit of the spirit.� It has been a really good study so far, however we are pretty far behind because of the bad weather we’ve had this winter.�� They have decided not to watch the video that goes with it, in order to hopefully get it finished in May.� Guess I better get ready to go.� Take care and God bless.
I used to be so strong.� Oh well, it’s not too bad.� The girls really enjoy them being in.� Cold here today.� The wind is blowing pretty hard.� The fire went out last night and when I tried to build a new fire this morning, the smoke was terrible.� I eventually just took the wood out of the stove and left it alone.� I would rather be a little cool than have to deal with all that smoke.� We have the gas logs on so its not too cold.� Hopefully, we will do bible study tomorrow.� I am very excited�to begin this study.��Esther is such an exciting book to study and�I’m sure Beth Moore will bring out things I would never think about.� We are hopefully�going down to Jessica’s�this weekend.��I�want to do some girl stuff.��The town she lives in has an excellent Goodwill Store.��I love shopping at Goodwill!� I�guess I just love thrift store shopping in general, yard sales, consignment sales, etc.� Good deals at good prices.� Well, lunch break is over.� Time for school.� Enjoy your day and God bless.
I took these pictures this afternoon after church.� This road connects to our road.� About 3 weeks ago when the first drifts came, they cleared this road.� I was told it took 12 hours to clear it.� I can only imagine how tall the snow was then, if it still looks like this 3 weeks later.� Church today was very good, communion with a fellowship meal, then a business meeting.� I went alone as Julie is still sick. � Hubby volunteered to stay home with them.� I very seldom go anywhere alone, so it felt very strange.� Julie is feeling some better though so I pray she is on the mend.�� The young pup Jasper seems to be on the mend too.� Take care and God bless.
I thought everyone would enjoy some more snow pictures.� The last picture is the pond.��I�know it just looks�white but it really is snowing hard.� Yes, it is snowing again.� 2-4 inches.� Well, that don’t sound too bad.� We did get out over the weekend.� Went to town Saturday and church yesterday.� It felt good to get out.� Not much else happening here today.� Just school and everyday things.� We brought Jasper (the puppy-I shouldn’t call him puppy anymore) in and gave him a bath this morning.� Very interesting!� He hadn’t had a bath in a while as he has been outside most of the winter.� �I was amazed at how much bigger he is.� I have allowed him to stay in today while he is drying.� He is a very happy dog, and of course Julie is a very happy girl.� Enjoy your day and God bless. | 2019-04-23T16:19:20Z | http://merryheartcrafts.com/tag/jasper/ |
This student is less than threatened by the bully harassing him for his lunch money. He has other things on his mind, like Sarah and her new highlights.

As the sky turns from blue to orange in the Zimbabwe bush, a cool breeze blows to chase away the scorching heat of the afternoon, ushering in the night. A small brown mammal with plate-like scales rustles through the grass. Little does it know that it walks close to the path of extinction.
There hasn’t been a more dangerous time to be a pangolin. The species has become the most trafficked mammal in the world. They are illegally traded for their scales, as bush meat or for medicinal purposes. But the threat of their extinction rarely makes news. An organisation in Zimbabwe aims to change this by educating the public about an animal many may not know even exists. Enabled by the Tikki Hywood Trust, a group of men dedicate their lives to rehabilitating captured pangolins. They are entrusted with caring for animals that have endured major stress, often having been transported many kilometres bound in a sack, starved and dehydrated.
The process takes a lot of patience. It is a difficult task to gain the trust of the pangolins while trying to nurture them to full health. But the men do this with love for the animal. They have developed an intimate relationship while caring for them. Pangolins are like their children. And like any parent, they will protect their family from anything that poses a threat. | 2019-04-18T14:19:44Z | https://www.beautifulnews.co.za/stories/pangolin-men?rq=pangolin |
With the monthly snowfall average in Calgary being surpassed within the first four days of November 2017, some tips of getting through winter seemed appropriate! First off, some tips on snow shoveling.
Other quick tips include layering clothes so that you may shed a layer if need be, be sure to drink plenty of water and stay hydrated – even if you feel cold, wear good shoes or boots with grips to avoid slips and falls, and cool down after finishing shoveling with some light stretches. Finally, getting adjusted will help improve flexibility and lessen the chance of injury, and Chiropractic care should also be used after an injury in order to quicken recovery times. | 2019-04-24T16:08:17Z | https://www.optimumwellnesscentres.com/whatisacu-2/ |
This week at Wednesday Afternoon Writers, we used a prompt idea from one of the amazing demonstrations I had the honor of being a part of this summer at the Denver Writing Project. As a matter of fact, for the past few weeks at WAW, we’ve been using prompts or activities I gleaned from the DWP. These prompts have given a new spark to our writing.
We each chose one strip from each bag and attempted to use them in any way we deemed in our writing. We wrote for ½ hour and shared.
So here are the three poems we used.
Below in my writing I have printed the words of the above poets in bold. In my story they are ordered: Lowell, Forbes and Evans.
Sitting perfectly upright, contented and pensive on a tree stump, Emma pulled the stuffed raccoon closer to her. The soft fur tickled her chin. Emma’s tiny giggle twinkled in the cold morning air, making the darkening forest path a less foreboding walk. She knew she wasn’t supposed to be on the path alone. Emma left her grandmother’s cottage while she could still hear her grandmother’s snoring rising up to her room through the shared fireplace chimney. But she needed to escape and this was her best chance.
Standing up, gathering her courage and her best friend, Emma started down the path. She came to the inevitable fork in the road. But this time there was actually a fork in the road holding three signs, one on each tine.
The third sign stated, “ Green-White Water This Way” and had an arrow pointing to the right.
Emma wasn’t there to do what she always did. And, after all, she had a great imagination. So she wouldn’t even entertain the idea of traveling down the boring, middle road.
Also, she was escaping from seriously risky business. She wasn’t about to add to her troubles by going to the left.
Green-White Water sounded like a welcoming place. She loved to swim and always wanted to visit the ocean. Emma decided this was the “right” path to follow.
With a skip to the right and laugh, “And let the green-white water way be before us!” she declared their mission. And down the right lane, Arthur the Raccoon and Emma the Girl From Her Sleeping Grandmother’s Cottage chose their poison and headed for the Green-White Water.
It is important to stop here for you to learn a bit about Emma herself. Emma seemed like a very sweet girl who loved her silly, stuffed raccoon. To the outside world, this is who she was. But she was left at her grandmother’s cottage by her parents because this was not who Emma really was.
The evening before Emma left her grandmother’s cottage, she was sure to pour a sleeping draft into her grandmother’s milk to make her grandmother’s deep sleep and snore alarm. Her grandmother would be sleeping for days, so Emma had plenty of time to do as she pleased.
And secondly, Emma’s parents and neighbors wouldn’t suspect a thing. Emma sent notes, written in her grandmother’s hand as the clever opening to her clever spell. The notes announced to the neighbors and Emma’s parents a trip the two of them were taking to visit a distant acquaintance, for a week or so. The neighbors and Emma’s parents were instructed not to worry, as Emma and her grandmother would inform them of their return immediately upon their arrival back at her grandmother’s cottage. This also bought Emma more time for more adventuring, if she so pleased.
It is odd that I begin with Monte the Camel. He is just a planter, the type that was popular many years ago in the late 1950s and 60s. There is no hole for water drainage. Yet my mom, and later I, tried time and time again to grow plants in him. They always died because of either too much water or not enough.
The remarkable thing about Monte is the memories he sparks of my mom. She had a great sense of humor, something most people just passed by until my husband, Leroy, discovered it and encouraged many years later.
I can’t remember why my mom named this planter Monte. But I know she had a story that would have been a bit risqué and only she would keep the secret. The rest of us would go on asking ourselves why would Annette name a planter? But I think she named many things.
The one name of an object I do remember is Doobee Faret. It was a bee of some kind. It’s not important that I remember the object itself. What is important is that I do remember her asking me if I wanted to know what the name meant. She had a mischievous grin on her face. I knew it would be good.
My grandfather was a bee hobbyist. My mom or dad drove him miles every spring through early fall almost everyday of the week from Globeville to a farm in Arvada. Here a generous farmer, Mr. Granjeans, (No, not Greenjeans of Captian Kangeroo fame.) had given him a spot on his farm for my gandfather’s twenty or so beehives. My mom or dad made the trip twice a day from Denver to Arvada to drop him off early in the morning before my dad opened his T.V. repair shop and pick him up in the evening after the shop closed.
They also made the yearly trip to Union Station to pick up Grandpa’s queen bee and her court for the season. I remember riding in the back seat of the ’55 Chevy Nomad, hoping and praying that the bees wouldn’t get out of their box. The buzzing was so loud I thought they would certainly sting us to death if they did.
So bees and beekeeping were a part of our life and I wanted to know about Doobee Faret. This was long before the Doobie Brothers ever thought about forming a band. She made me promise not to tell anyone, especially my dad. I took the oath.
Taking me aside and whispering ever so softly, mom explained to me that with all the bee frenzy in our house, she always wondered if bees farted. There was a long pause with her smiling broadly. I just stared at her. She then repeated, “Do bees fart?” Finally, with disappointment spreading across her face, she stated “Doo…bees…fart?” “Doobee Faret?” She had to conceal the “fart” inside the “Faret” so she could say it in company. I laughed. She giggled. And we promised never to say a word.
So in tribute to my mom’s sense of humor, Monte serves as the mascot and the beginning of my book of memories.
The idea for the book stems from the many “Clean Out Your Lives” shows I have been watching on cable. I really yearn for more open space, everywhere. I understand that it is the memory that the object holds, and not the object itself. But it is hard to let go of things that have been touched and loved by loved ones.
Keep the mantra going: It is the memory that the object holds, and not the object itself.
I also like the revelation that these memories sitting on a shelf hidden by other memories or packed away in boxes not to be looked at for years and years, does not honor the objects or their memory.
Keeping the objects just results in clutter and more work in their upkeep.
We recently moved from 850 square feet into 2700. Granted, some of the stuff in our house is my father’s. Many things are those my mom packed away herself and hadn’t opened since we moved from Globeville to Wheat Ridge in l974. And even more of these boxes held wedding presents from 1950 that she never used.
So the 2700 square foot house is now full. I need to let go of stuff. And I begin here. Monte and My Marvelous Compendium of Enduring Memories.
I will take photos and write a quick, or not so quick, note about it and put it in a lovely little journal I purchased for this reason. Then the items will be taken to Good Will.
Of course, I will keep a few objects that are definitive. I believe this process will help me find them. For example, of the ten or so objects I have chosen to go first in the process, it surprises me that Monte the Camel planter is the one I had the most second thoughts about getting rid of. More than my baptism hat, or first pair of red sneakers, or the lone surviving horse from Stock show souvenirs.
This process must not be burdensome, so that I keep up. I hope it will teach me that one step at a time, or object, will make a big difference in the end. It will also keep me writing!
Note to myself: It is the memory that the object holds, and not the object itself.
It feels right and I am smiling.
Yelling into the bullhorn, I thought what I was saying was something encouraging, soothing. Possibly, even profound. It wasn’t. It was a scream at the top of my lungs letting loose a string of profanities that would make a mob boss cry.
I always wanted to be an admired leader, just like my dad. At one time he was a mayor of a small town in Iowa. He brought in the quarter-finals of the International Hot Dog Eating Competition and, with it, enough income to keep the town in the black until the County Fair. Inspired by his financial gamesmanship, high school graduates flooded the local community college to study neoclassical price theory, economic liberalism, and the free market. I wanted to inspire kids to reach for the stars, too.
How the hell was that ever going to happen with my vocabulary, regardless of my dreams?
My dad was widowed in a freak accident with a chocolate cake when I, his only daughter, had just turned one. So, I was raised by my grandma. Grammy looked like everyone else’s grandma except for the shock of red hair that changed shades on a monthly basis. She colored it to match her mood. If violet-red was the color of the choice, we knew it would be a gentler time and her words not so sharp. But if crimsons and oranges raged through Grammy’s locks and gold streaked to the tips of her split ends, we knew we were in for a bumpy ride with her lamentations.
It was storied to be a month of flame reds glowering from Grammy’s hairdo when the cake incident happened. It was my dad’s birthday and Mom was hiding the cake on top of the fridge when she slammed the freezer side-door. It actually wasn’t the cake that killed her, though. The cake slid off and planted itself on the floor upside down. Mom stood stunned for several seconds. She had labored long and hard to get that cake done. She wanted it to be just like the cake Dad remembered from his childhood. But she wasn’t a baker. She struggled for days to make the special cake using the beloved recipe. Grammy refused to share the recipe with Mom until the first grandchild was one year of age. Grammy felt that one year of life would cement the fact that the new generation was there to carry on. Grammy lectured Mom time and time again about how the cake recipe had been in the family for “generations upon generations.” Grammy insisted it was the same recipe used by our humble relatives and served to Marie Antoinette. Secretly mom wished she could someday visit the scullery in the Palace of Versailles to be inspired by the kitchens that produced this family heirloom. What Mom didn’t realize was that while she appreciated that Grammy could swear like a sailor, the benefactor of the honored recipe could lie like a rug, too.
Despite the tension caused from the ownership of the recipe, Mom and Grammy supposedly got along famously. One of the amusements they had in common was appreciating pulling off a real good practical joke. They were Mom’s specialty and Grammy embraced the challenge of not letting her succeed. It took mom two attempts at baking the cake with the so-called original recipe, before she connected Grammy’s regular visit each afternoon and the smirk plastered across Grammy’s face with the botched cakes coming out of the oven. The first time Mom tried baking the chocolate cake, it turned out more like pudding. Grammy simply grinned and offered to tweak to the recipe. Later that evening as Grammy was leaving for bingo, her purse felt a bit heavy. Opening the clasp, Grammy witnessed her lipstick tube, a piece of Wrigley’s Spearmint gum and her grocery list submerged in brown, sticky goo.
Mom’s second cake attempt was so dry and hard that she simply threw it away. Mom stormed out of the kitchen refusing to acknowledge Grammy’s Cheshire grin wrapping around her face. Grammy dug the cake out of the garbage can, wrapped it in tin foil, and used it as a doorstop until the day she died.
Again Grammy offered to adjust the recipe. But mom decided to take the bull by the horns and complete the cake without Grammy’s assistance. Mom finally succeeded in her quest by contacting the Women’s Social Group. The church ladies descended like chickens to their feed. They had a mission. They quickly and, rather proudly, deciphered Grammy’s scratchings, re-adjusted the hallowed recipe for the high altitude of Leadville, the Two Mile High City of the West, and produced a most perfect cake.
That was all Mom needed to hear. She began to chase Grammy round and round the tiny kitchen. Each time they passed the cake, they got closer and closer. Just as Grammy skirted by the ragged edge of the broken cake plate, she took a sudden turn out the backdoor.
The neighbors still reminisce about the foot race. Grammy running down the street giving her best dissertation while my mother followed close behind waving her arms gloriously in the air and adding to the din. Although Mom couldn’t begin to touch Grammy’s dubious parlance, she had been in training with Grammy before she married Dad. Apparently, the Iowa town where Dad was mayor could ignore Grammy’s outbursts. But adding Mom into the discourse would not be tolerated. So after the wedding, Dad found a new town high up in the Rocky Mountains and a job running the local bookstore. He said he chose Leadville so Grammy’s words had less traveling time to reach the atmosphere before being sucked forever into outer space.
Anyway, Grammy just kept running with Mom matching her pace in stride, as well as words. By the time Grammy and Mom reached the town’s edge, there was hardly room on the sidewalks for sightseers and the cheering almost overrode the battle cries of my matriarchs. Once Grammy and Mom faded into the distance up the mountainside, everyone had placed their bets on the champion of their choice. The bets would be settled once the victor descended back down the mountainside.
Grammy and Mom continued running along the hiking trail turning the crisp air blue with their words. As Grammy came to the boarded-up mine entrance she took a turn away from their normally agreed upon stopping place. It was here under the pines they would usually end their charades. Their deceptions were always planned in advance. On the agreed upon day, Grammy would take her regular morning stroll to the mine entrance with a not so regular purpose. With the promise of a late afternoon swig, Grammy would hide the Shanahan’s bottle with a couple of glasses, one for each of them. Both enjoyed whiskey and a local distiller was their favorite. It wasn’t until Grammy died a few years ago that Mr. Shanahan himself came by the house with Grammy’s inveterate tab, smiled at dad, and tore it up. Mr. Shanahan assured Dad that he delighted in his bi-monthly shot, chat, and cigar with Grammy and that he would never accept a cent from dad to pay Grammy’s bill.
But the day of the chocolate cake incident, Grammy didn’t stop for their appointed toast at the predestined spot. Mom followed Grammy through the pine forest, this time without a path. Grammy kept stringing her words together, then stopped. Mom’s retorts had ended a second before. It was silent, no padding of feet. Nothing but the wind scratching the tips of the pines. Grammy turned. Mom was gone. Grammy traced her steps backward. She knew this area like the back of her hand. Grammy had taken the right side of the large pine, while Mom ran around the left. But on the left was an old mine shaft that had probably been recently uncovered by curious tourists, leaving a hole descending into darkness miles deep into the mountain.
Grammy didn’t linger. She high-tailed it back to town, cursing all the way. As Grammy descended, the townspeople began to settle their bets. That day, however, they sensed a different tone upon hearing Grammy’s usual anathema.
They searched for days for my mom. They sent down expert rescuers and Grammy understood the importance of rooting for them at the edge of the shaft the whole time. They never found her. Not a trace. It was as if she disappeared off the face of the earth. There is a river that runs deep beneath the surface of the Leadville mountain and it was determined that Mom must have been swept away.
I set the bullhorn down. I knew there wouldn’t be another talk by the superiors of our town’s summer camp warning me that I had one more chance if I could just control my language. Earlier conversations had strongly suggested that if I wanted to rise to Camp Counselor of the five-year-olds and, one day, to Camp Director, I would have to learn some self-control. It just wasn’t going to happen. I wanted to make my Dad as proud of me as I am of him. But I had spent the first eighteen years of my life under the tutelage of my Grammy.
I turned from the wide-eyed stares and dropped jaws of the Bunny Hoppers and headed towards the bus stop. I didn’t need my stuff. I was on a new mission.
Walking down the gravel path I reached into the pocket of my shorts. I pulled out the tattered, yellowing piece of paper titled “Chocolate Cake” that was left to me in Grammy’s will. I read the final line of the recipe one more time. Across the bottom in bright red felt tip pen Grammy had scratched: Your mom always wanted to live in Paris.
Well, I guess it was time for a blanking trip to Paris.
This piece was one of several written during my time with the Denver Writing Project. It is a piece of silliness. I wanted it to be much darker and funnier. I don’t know how to do that. Yet. I will learn. But for now, I hope you enjoyed this little bit of fiction and had a little chuckle.
Langston Hughes is one of my favorite poets. He can sing the blues without using a single note. His words sway across the page like the music itself.
Today’s poem escorts the melancholy of the blues onto the page.
When I read this poem, I feel like I am sitting at a table in the bar listening to this man’s lament. I feel the beat and smell the smoke. There are little or no words spoken between those left at the tables. It’s too late for that. The night is slipping into the early morning and regrets fill the air.
I wonder, did the music give definition to the word – blue? How could a color so calm as the morning sky or vibrant as the rolling sea give birth to such heartbreak?
The deep navy that streaks across our flag is a noble blue. How much sadness, as well as joy and triumph, are held within those borders?
Today I came across a remarkable young poet, J. Michael Martinez. I must give gratitude to Poets.org for the introduction.
This is the type of poem that puts many people off and takes them away from even trying to understand the poet’s words. I ask you not to be swayed and quickly go away.
The wonderful thing about poetry is that it should be read aloud. If you click on the link below, you can hear the poet read this poem. When I am unsure about what a poem means, I read it aloud, several times. If that doesn’t work, I look for a recording of the poet, so I can hear his phrasing and stops and how he feels his own words.
Then it is up to me. I must make it live in my own life. That is the beauty of good poetry. It will mean something different to each person who reads it. We always bring our experiences to the table when reading other’s words. Our understanding and comprehension turns on who we are. That is how poetry speaks to us.
Let this poem have a chance to speak to you. Allow Mr. Martinez to read to you and enjoy.
How do you see white? How does it live and breathe in your life? What do those white stripes on our flag say to you this holiday time?
Thought I would share, over the next few days, some of my favorite poems inspired by my work at the Denver Writing Project.
My choice for today is by Williams Carlos Williams.
And so begins a poem I love for its simplicity and elegance. William Carlos Williams is a master of precision and beauty. It’s easy to throw a lot of descriptive words onto a page. What Williams does, is what the master gardener does.
The master gardener is a creator with an eye to the minute, as well as to extravagance. While the entire garden tells a story, it is in honing in on the exquisiteness of the diminutive vignette that completes its own narrative.
In that breath, I invite you to imagine a clear blue sky when reading this poem. Even better, find a friend and take turns reading it to one another while the listener’s eyes are closed. It’s a perfect compliment to this holiday weekend. | 2019-04-26T08:06:20Z | https://leximagines.com/2011/07/ |

Ford is building cars that "talk" with traffic lights, road signs and pedestrians.
At CES 2019 in Las Vegas on Monday, the automaker announced plans to start selling cars that feature this type of technology in 2022.
The technology, called cellular vehicle-to-everything (or C-V2X for short), uses wireless signals to share road data, such as a car's location or the color of a traffic light, with other vehicles.
Ford believes it will make cities safer by better informing drivers of their surroundings, and compares the innovation to the invention of the traffic light in the 19th century.
"The world's first traffic light [helped] people move through a congested London intersection that had become dangerous for pedestrians due to the popularity of horse-drawn carriages," Don Butler, executive director of Ford Connected Vehicle Platform and Product, wrote in a Medium post. "At Ford, 150 years later, we are excited to continue advancing this type of thinking."
But critics says the cost of installing the technology will be burdensome for cash-strapped governments. Corinne Kisner, deputy director of the National Association of City Transportation Officials, called the expense of installing and maintaining vehicle-to-everything technology a major concern. Many municipalities struggle to fill their potholes, let alone install smart city technology. She also described any effort to require a pedestrian to carry a smartphone to guarantee safety as a dangerous paradigm shift.
"It's an unreasonable burden to ask or require people walking in their streets and cities and in front of their homes to carry a signal transmitting device," Kisner said. "The burden needs to be on the driver of the two-ton vehicle, whether it's a human or autonomous technology."
Ford sees things differently. Butler described to CNN Business the example of a pedestrian walking on a dirt road who might be identified by a car with C-V2X because they were carrying a smartphone. Traditionally, a driver would rely on their headlights to see the pedestrian. But Butler stops short of expecting smartphones to be recommended or required for pedestrians.
"It's like the question of will people be permitted to drive once autonomous vehicles become prevalent," Butler said. "That's something we can only speculate about."
Ford isn't the first company to explore outfitting pedestrians with sensors. Siemens, the German conglomerate, began a US Department of Transportation pilot test in Tampa, Florida, last year using pedestrians' smartphones to communicate their location to vehicles. But Siemens officials found the smartphone location data to be so inaccurate that it wasn't useful.
The pilot was reworked to focus on outfitting 1,000 vehicles with sensors, and notifying drivers of nearby vehicles with audio alerts, according to Dave Miller, the head of connected vehicles at Siemens.
Bicycling advocates also argued it was unrealistic to require someone to carry a phone on roads.
"We think the way things are headed, what we need is more smart sensors [built] in the roadway, or infrastructure," Miller told CNN Business.
This is something Ford wants, too. It sees the coming arrival of 5G networks -- the next-generation of internet speed -- as a chance to install vehicle-to-everything technology throughout cities.
"We think there's an opportunity for a win-win that helps offset to a significant degree the cost a city might have to otherwise undertake to deploy this infrastructure," Butler said.
Ford is urging other automakers to install C-V2X in their vehicles.
But there's a long road ahead for Ford to make C-V2X as widespread as the traffic light, which took decades to be popularized. | 2019-04-24T12:57:18Z | https://www.wlfi.com/content/national/504015922.html |

For KNX manufacturers who might need occasional guidance and/or support in the process of developing new projects. Participation can take place in early phases (during the definition of requirements), but also during the development of KNX software and hardware.
Specific training for new manufacturers oriented to learn on the whole process of developing KNX products, as well as the usage of the necessary tools (compilers for micro controllers, ETS for manufacturers, etc...), including practical exercises.
Training is completely customizable with retards number of days, content and language (English, German and Spanish) and can take place in our laboratory or at client's premises (internationally).
Service oriented to Non-KNX manufacturers who need to have a KNX device developed as a specific solution to integrate with their respective systems. They will be guided through the whole process, from specification of functionality to the certification of the product.
Examination and validation of the information provided by the manufacturer.
Design, creation and configuration of the test sequences.
Implementation of the test sequences to the product.
Any other extra expense imputable to the client (additional shipping costs, daily allowances, etc.) will be estimated and agreed upon with the client, who will bear these costs.
Also, delays in the test procedures attributable to the client (due to errors in the documentation, faulty sample product, etc.) will be deemed working hours according to the accepted cost estimate.
On the other side, delays attributable to Futurasmus KNX Lab for technical or human errors caused by its personnel or equipment will be neither accounted for nor billed.
Client might either contact Futurasmus KNX Lab directly to ask for information about all the requirements to launch the KNX test procedure or directly download a customer registration form and a request for quotation form from the web.
Those sheets, together with the necessary documentation (handbook of the application program, application program, technical sheets, PIXIT, etc., as well as a product sample, if required) shall be sent back to Futurasmus KNX Lab.
After examination of the information received, Futurasmus KNX Lab will study and evaluate both the project’s viability and the number of hours estimated to execute the test.
If the client agrees with the terms as in the quotation and the conditions of the contract, will sign and submit both documents back to Futurasmus KNX Lab.
The Test Department in Futurasmus KNX Lab studies the device thoroughly, plans and designs the tests to be done, configures the ETS and EITT necessary and these are executed.
If that error can be remedied, the project can be interrupted and will only proceed as soon as the fault has been removed.
If that error meant drastic changes in the planed or executed test, the procedure will be deemed finalized (and the corresponding invoice will be issued). After amending the error, the procedure will have to start again as a new project.
The client discontinues the procedure for causes that can not be attributed to Futurasmus KNX Lab.
All hours worked up to that moment will be billed.
The final report is composed with one of the following results: “COMPLY” o “NOT COMPLY”.
This report is simultaneously sent both to the client and to the KNX Association, as the only organism qualified to eventually certify the product.
The report also includes extensive information on the parametrization of the product and the trace of sequences as executed in each test.
In case the final report had a negative outcome, the client has the possibility to call for a review, which he/she will have to do in written. The claim may include the possibility to be present during the test.
Futurasmus KNX Lab commits to review the test and submit in-detail explanation on the non-conformity ground (if confirmed) or to modify the result (if an error in the tests can be verified). If the client was right, the hours worked to execute the review will not be billed. If otherwise, the corresponding invoice will be issued.
The invoice must be paid within 30 days.
Once all tests are finished, the product will be shipped back to the client. The cost of returning the devices and other materials provided for the test will be borne by the client.
If the final report has a positive outcome, the client is now entitled to address the KNX Association and require the “certification” of their previously “registered” product. | 2019-04-21T12:04:16Z | https://www.futurasmus-knxgroup.com/testlabservices.php |

It's practically summertime so there are lots and lots of movies opening soon. One of these is The Taking of Pelham 1 2 3 which opens on June 12. It's about guys who hijack New York subway train Pelham 123, hold people hostage, demand money, and escape - but how?. One regular transit dispatcher guy ends up involved. The movie stars famous people (Denzel Washington and John Travolta) and the trailers make it look really exciting and action-y. I'd sort of thought of trying to see it when it comes out, if it got good reviews.
And this is a good heist movie - actually, it's a good movie, period. It's suspenseful and engrossing, with some comic moments thrown to ease the tension. It was interesting to see how the hijackers used their knowledge of the New York subway system and its trains to pull off the job. If you're going to do any kind of heist, it's important to know just how everything works, yes?
The main question throughout is how the hijackers are going to escape and get away with the job. I'm not going to tell you whether they succeed or how it ends - even though the movie has been remade, I don't know whether they'll use the exact same story. They've already changed the title (words representing numbers are so old-fashioned; why not just the numbers instead?) and I hope that they don't change the actual story too much. Being the age that it is, I expect that they'll not only modernize the story to reflect the updated technology, but also add some new twists and turns and stunts. Maybe even an explosion or two.
As long the remake stays a heist movie, it'll probably be ok.
I agree it will be interesting to see the remake. I enjoyed Robert Shaw. He does such a great villain. Did you notice the young Doris Roberts as thle mayor's wife. A real classic. | 2019-04-19T00:45:24Z | http://blog.tellean.net/2009/05/saturday-is-movie-day.html |

Reib further explained that The Day of the Dead, or Dia de los Muertos, happens to fall on the day after Halloween (All Saint’s Day), and it is a celebration of life and death. Unlike American culture, where often people fear death, Mexicans honor it, especially on this occasion, washing the bones of their ancestors, cleaning headstones in cemeteries and celebrating it in a fiesta of life. Posada called this “Poking fun at life and death,” since he believed death was just as important as life and should be embraced. Reib’s students created watercolor paintings of skulls to represent this concept. Their pictures were inspired by skull molds, which are used as decorations for the Day of the Dead. Eileen Reib showed pictures of these skull molds to the students to inspire this artwork. Skull molds are traditionally made by combining sugar and water to make a wet sand mixture, which is then pushed into the skull mold. After making the molds, students decorated them with icing, sequins, feathers and glitter.
Reib’s students also created Retablos, which are traditionally used as hand-held religious altars. As a final way of depicting how Posada pokes fun at life and death, students created skeletons (calacas) performing everyday activities.
Located in Chemung County, Community Arts of Elmira partnered with The Arts Council of the Southern Finger Lakes (The ARTS) with the National Youth Art Month exhibit. The Arts Council serves and advocates for four New York counties (Schuyler, Steuben, Chemung and Tioga), and this is the eleventh annual year The Arts Council has administered National Youth Art Month across the four counties, installing student artwork in over fifty community venues for display throughout the month of March. Exhibiting venues include local grocery stores, cafés, restaurants and other nontraditional places community members wouldn’t expect to see artwork, as well as arts and cultural partners, such as Community Arts of Elmira. We thank Tamar Samuel-Siegel, The ARTS Programs and Outreach Manager, for her installation work on this exhibition.
In complement to the elementary student work in National Youth Art Month, The Arts: At First Sight illuminates the Community Room Gallery with Finn Academy Charter School second grade scholars’ artwork. The exhibition is based on extensive research on the snowy owl and its migration patterns. Arts Educator Brandi Moffe instructed students to draw a snowy owl, and during the process of revision, students improved the rendering of feathers and eyes, and incorporated shading and reflections into their drawings. In their showcase of artistic expression, Finn Kindergarten scholars created red poppies in chalk pastel to honor American veterans, creating and practicing with color palettes until each selected just the right hues for shading their poppies. Prior to their installation at Community Arts of Elmira, Educator Moffe exhibited them at Finn and invited local veterans to view the students’ work.
In a third process project display, Moffe presents Finn Academy’s second grade scholars’ color wheel studies. By mixing food coloring and shaving cream, students observed an array of colors meld together, learning how colors combine to create new shades. Following this exercise, students participated in an “I notice, I wonder” activity, where they shared what each witnessed about the changing colors.
To complete the exhibition, Moffe showcased digitized images of Finn scholars engaging in music and dance studies. Students learned movements that emphasize physical activity. These images depict students experimenting with such moves. Moffe, Dance Educator Jaymie Snoddy and Music Educator Danielle Murray share a similar educational philosophy. Murray explained, “Music is a foundation of the culture of Finn Academy.” Together the educators work with the scholars to illustrate that physical activity, music and visual art exist within and beyond Finn, in their everyday lives. For example, each Friday afternoon Finn Academy hosts a “Community Circle” where all visitors are welcome, and audiences are immersed in music played by student scholar musicians.
Storybook Floor Cloths filled the Pryzgoda Gallery highlighting artistic collaboration by students from Beecher, Diven, Fassett and Hendy, led by School District Art Educator-in-Residence JoAnn Smith, a retired art educator who is still active among local student art projects. Smith explained that all the ideas on the floor cloths originated from the students’ core curriculum, from the second graders who focused on Tall Tales or Fairy Tales, such as Paul Bunyan and John Henry, to the sixth graders whose floor cloths rendered stories from Greek mythology. Joanne used graphing paper to translate the sketch onto the cloth, and then, using painter’s tape in order for colors to stay in between the lines, the students each got a chance to color their grade’s cloth. Students completed one of the cloths in only three weeks! Once painted, students sealed Greek Mythology with Marine Sealer, so it is “walkable.” The remaining cloths are meant for display, because they are not sealed. Finally, a marvelous anecdote about this project is that students who painted cloths as second graders in 2011 worked with JoAnn again as sixth graders!
A special feature of the evening’s reception underscored the continuous study of art for the elementary student: The Elmira College Student Artist Pop-up Gallery Inspiring Artists. Curator Gabrielle Higgins, Community Arts Elmira College Community Service Student, developed the concept for the pop-up’s theme: aspiration. Exhibiting college students’ work inspired elementary students to continue their art study through college and beyond. Campbell Grade, the president of Elmira College Art Club, was among the college students whose artwork was displayed. Nick Vanderwood, a first-year student at Elmira College, was the musical talent for the evening, playing guitar and singing popular hip hop songs. The Inspiring Artists exhibit was a collaborative endeavor with Elmira College Arts Alive program, featuring students in demonstration of their creative life. Elmira College Media Artist Jan Kather is exceptional in her promotion of student art activities. We thank Jan and all members of the Elmira College Creative Arts faculty for their support of this community connection.
Last, but certainly not least, during the artist reception, Community Arts launched this very blog, ArtWays, whose concept and voice I hope to develop profiling the unique artistic, education, community art experiences in the area, connecting real and virtual audiences in support of the arts and arts education.
Currently featured in the Community Arts galleries are Thoughts and Image by Sharon DeHaas, The Przygoda Gallery and Students and Teachers, Selected Work, The Community Room Gallery, through May 21, 2016, Fridays/Saturdays 11am – 1pm, free and open to the public. | 2019-04-22T02:37:14Z | https://communityartsofelmira.wordpress.com/2016/05/ |
Sinus infection that’s also referred to as sinus problems is caused because of multiple reasons. It may be cold, allergic reactions, any microbial infection, or blocking from the nasal passages. Most typical signs and symptoms observed within the patient really are a stuffed nose with headache. However, the levels of infections can vary broadly and thus also their treatments.
Fast in addition to effective sinus treatment is going to be individuals that will instantly obvious the stuffed nose and provide respite from headache. Medically referred to as sinus problems, huge numbers of people around the world are afflicted by the syndrome yearly. Beginning with mild infections, the affects turn into severe with the passing of time. Issues with sinus affects are they not just cause stuffed nose and headache but various affiliated problems too. Hence sinus treatment is extremely important from initial stage.
Multiple over-the-counter sinus remedies are available. You can turn to a number of them or go to the regular physician or allergist for prevention and cure of sinus affects.
Normally the sinus infections come from the bacteria working inside the sinus tooth decay. Actually sinuses are individuals tooth decay in contiguous locations using the nasal openings which help both air in addition to mucous flow free without restriction also it provides the voice some kind of changes because of sinus affects. Reason is the fact that sounds emerge whenever a sinus is blocked and also the consequential swelling in addition to infection causes the environment that’s inside to pressurize the nerves developing a sinus headache for the individual.
In addition to the inflamed passages within the nose along with the sinuses, air also exist that can’t enter into the sinus and when again this turns into a reason behind the sinus pains. Sinus treatment methods are conducted using sinus spray that’s been prescribed at occasions or perhaps acquired over-the-counter. Sprays thus used kills the bacteria that leads to sinus infections curing the individual along the way.
Among various reasons for sinus problems, one will be the blocking of passages. Such blockage can produce a tumor within the nose which is needed to become removed surgically. At occasions utilization of over-the-counter nasal sprays may also result in infections that may become addictive in the finish from it. | 2019-04-22T17:56:43Z | http://drbestardgabriel.com/holistic-sinus-infection-treatments/ |

JUST SOMETHING NEW TO PUT SOME EXCITEMENT BACK INTO THE GAME!!!
What would you like to see added to the game? Do you have some specific suggestions of what you'd like to see?
People have millions of coins and can not spend it on anything.
I actually have over 8,000,000 coins and expanded to the limit.
1.) More buildings, animals and plants !
No, but really, a Red Panda would be amazing!
Interestingly enough, red pandas aren't pandas at all.
I for one love Pandas!!!!!!
Hahahahahahahahahaha... This made me burst out laughing!!!!!!
The problem of the game is that you earn coins for ... ehhh ... nothing, since after like one week no one needs coins anymore.
Let?s remember why we play the game ... because we like the cute animals.
So what I suggest is, that you implement something that allows you to spend coins to do some improvements on your animals. Means for example that you get a new button that allows you to TRAIN the animals. Means you spend some gold and the animal gets a "training bar". If you level the animal up, it learns a NEW MOVE, means instead of siting there and just blinking, it will do some animated maove from time to time. Like four levels of moves per animal I suggest. Level four should be insane expensive, but do something AWESOME, like the dragon flying around you zoo.
Another feature would be to change the color of the animals for some gold, by buying color berries.
With NEW MOVES and colored animals, it would be interesting again to check the zoo of an other player, since maybe he has something interesting happening in his zoo.
I like your ideas. I hope TL will comment on that and gives us some information about what will happen to the game. I think GroupMagma promised a bigger update for Zoo Story somewhere in this forum.
I think it shouldn't be a big deal just to add some more animals and buildings in the meantime.
So TeamLava, let's go !!
GM mentioned in a thread last week about a Zoo Story update: "probably not today but soon." This gives me hope that the update is almost ready and that we'll have it soon!
I hope TL waits for the wild stuff until I get to expand my zoo - don't have all those coins with nothing to do with them - am saving so I can expand- and get all the regular things. I love the suggestions made on the voting thread!
Please don't flip out with the updates.... Or is it only me that wants real animals in a realistic zoo?! No fairytale animals or dinosaurs... This is a zoo!
I do love all the updates in all games but doesn't understand why you add themes in the stories..? For ex; Farm Story... Here you add castles, nights... This is Farm Story!! Here you should add a Tractor, Stables, Harvester... Things for a realistic Farm!! FARM STORY!!
What I mean is... Don't destroy the Zoo Story updates when it finally arrives with fairytalethemes and goblets, dragons, animals that change colours... This is another Story, not Zoo Story! Sorry all of you that love this... Doesn't mean to affend you, just one who loves to build a realistic City, Zoo, Restaurant, Bakery, Farm and so on!
I also would like to have some more plants that look NICE.
It is SO TERRIBLE to be forced to have an uggly brown farm field next to my zoo. But to feed all my animals, I need that field. Have a look at my zoo here: organiceric (<-- my ID) ... nice zoo, but why is there a FARM next to it ???
I mean ... if I want to play a farm, I play FARM story.
So please, please, please, please include some BUILDINGS, that produce food. Something like a "Logistics Center" where food is delivered to. I have never seen a zoo that has it?s own little farm attached to it.
You can orient yourself on the factories in city story. The same concept would do wonders for the zoo.

Bazouti S, Omahsan L, Chahib H, Sakhsoukh R, Dikhaye S, Zizi N. Rosacea infant: not always a benign dermatosis. Our Dermatol Online. 2018;9(4):410-411.
Rosacea is a condition that is most often associated with adults; however, various forms exist in the pediatric population and must be taken into account when a child presents a rash to the face. We report a rare case of rosacea with severe ocular involvement in a 7-year-old child with discrete papules and pustules on both cheeks and chin with blepharitis and decreased visual acuity. The ophthalmologic examination confirmed a severe blepharitis with severe mibomitis associated with a stromal corneal ulcer. The diagnosis of rosacea with ocular involvement was made. Patient was put on oral azithromycin, topical metronidazole at the face and a photoprotection with good evolution. Early recognition and treatment of ocular rosacea in children can improve patient outcomes by limiting the progression of corneal pathology.
Rosacea is a chronic inflammatory facial dermatitis. It mainly affects persons of middle age and a clear phototype, and it is considered rare in children . Ocular involvement is the most serious complication requiring early diagnosis in order to preserve the visual function. We report a new case of ocular rosacea in a 7-year-old child.
A 7-year-old boy with a phototype III, and a family history of rosacea affecting his mother and maternal aunts, consulted the ophthalmic emergencies for a painful red right eye with significant photophobia. In the anamnesis, we find notion of flushes during temperature changes and repeated chalazion with a many similar episodes during the last two years wrongly treated as allergic conjunctivitis. Ophthalmological examination showed blepharitis with severe meibomitis associated with a stromal corneal ulcer (Fig. 1). A dermatological examination had objectified the presence of some erythematous papules, telangiectasias on a pink background of cheeks, chin and the palpébral edges (Fig. 2). The dermoscopic examination had shown the presence of arborizing vessels, sometimes polygonal, as well as pustules and erythematous background. The diagnosis of rosacea was retained and the patient was put on oral azitromycin, topical metronidazole in the face and photoprotection with a good evolution.
Figure 1: Clinical image showing a corneal ulcer.
Figure 2: Papulopustular lesions associated with telangiectasia.
Rosacea is a fairly common chronic facial dermatitis, whose infantile forms are rare and often underdiagnosed. The cutaneous manifestations described in children, generally inconspicuous, seem identical to those observed in adults [2–3], with the exception of hypertrophic rosacea never reported in this age group . Familial history of rosacea is often reported as in our case which could support the diagnosis. Ocular signs, however, are not specific and can reach all levels of severity ranging from simple photophobia to blepharitis-meibomitis to blindness through a keratoconjunctivitis complicated sometimes by corneal ulcers as was the case in our patient, imposing immediate care. There is no correlation between the severity of ocular rosacea and inflammatory cutaneous rosacea . Although rosacea in children especially before puberty, is uncommon, ocular symptoms are often present at diagnosis .
The local treatment is identical to that of adult rosacea . A systemic treatment is proposed in case of failure of topics or in case of severe ocular involvement. Systemic antibiotics, primarily the tetracyclines, are the drugs of choice for most individuals with rosacea. Tetracyclines should not be used in children younger than 8 years, because they can lead to discoloration of teeth and susceptibility to fracture by incorporation into bones and teeth. In this younger age group, macrolides are the preferred agents. Azithromycin can produce marked improvement, even when administered for only 5 days .
Infantile rosacea is a rare and potentially serious disease in its ocular form. Its presentation is not specific and can be confusing, especially in the absence of dermatological lesions. In front of a child with ocular signs suspicious of rosacea, the dermatological examination is an important step for making the diagnosis. Early management avoids serious complications such as keratitis and/or corneal ulcer. Only a multidisciplinary and effective management by dermatologist and ophthalmologist avoids the complications that can lead to blindness.

There’s a new trend among sweet-toothed brides: dessert-only receptions. Rather than doling out money for a huge meal and attempting to satisfy all your guests’ taste preferences, consider serving only an assortment of delicious after-dinner sweets.
By skipping straight to the best part of the meal, you actually expand your options. Since guests won’t be stuffed from a three-course dinner, they’ll have more room to satisfy their sweet tooth and try a variety of desserts. And since you won’t be paying the high cost of feeding your guests an entire meal, you have more of a budget to splurge on sweets.
Most dessert-only receptions provide guests with an array of artfully displayed, bite-sized confections. To ensure variety and creativity, consider flavor, texture, and size of your desserts. Including chocolate, fruit, nut, and vanilla options will cover all your flavor bases, while mixing up the textures to include crunchy, chewy, and creamy will surely give everyone something to enjoy. And in this case, smaller is better. You can easily serve bite-size portions, rather than large slices, of your favorite cakes, brownies, cookies and cheesecakes. Pie fillings can simply be baked in turnover form for easy eating. By creatively thinking about how to prepare your favorite sweets, you can bring nearly anything to the wedding dessert table.
Truffles, cookies, cannolis, macaroons, tarts, brownies, fudge, caramels, cheesecakes, turnovers, puddings, candies, doughnuts, shortbreads – nothing is off limits, as long as it’s sweet and delicious!
Choosing desserts in your color scheme adds even more fun to this sweet idea!
Use serving platters of different styles and materials for a vintage, eclectic look.
For inspiration on how to design and arrange the main course of your dessert-only reception, take a look at some of the beautiful dessert bars event planner Amy Atlas has put together.

On the eve of the biggest lottery jackpot in the history of mankind, I was pondering probability theory (and yes I did zoom over to the US and buy a ticket, and so if this blog becomes somewhat less active you will know why). It reminded me of an excellent paper I recently came across on the role of significance tests by Charles Lambdin (2012) who has resurrected the arguments against significance tests as our fundamental statistical method for hypothesis testing. He makes the case that these really represent modern magic, rather than empirical science, and I must admit to some extent I tend to agree, and wonder why we are still rely on the use of p-values today, with an almost blind acceptance of their rightful place in the scientific world.
The modern formulation and philosophy of hypothesis testing was developed by three men between 1915-1933; Ronald Fisher (1890-1962), Jerzey Neyman (1884 -1981) and Egon Pearson (1895-1980). Fisher developed the principles of statistical significance testing and p-values, whilst Neyman & Pearson took a slightly different view and formulated the method we use today where we compare two competing hypotheses: Ho and an alternative hypothesis (Ha), and also developed the notions of Type I and II errors.
As we all know from our undergraduate studies, with hypothesis testing using p-values two outcomes are possible for a statistical test result. Either the test statistic result is in the critical region, and the test result is declared as statistically significant at the α (5%) significance level. In this case two logical choices are possible for a researcher: they can reject the null hypothesis, or accept the possibility that a Type I error has occurred (≤ α). Secondly, the test statistic result is outside of the critical region (the shaded areas below).
Here the p-value is greater than the statistical significance level (α) and either there is not enough evidence to reject H0, or there is a Type II error. We should note this is not the same as finding evidence in favour of H0. A lack of evidence against a hypothesis is not evidence for It, which is another common scientific error (see below). Another problem with the H0 is that many researchers view accepting the H0 as a failure of the experiment. This view is unfortunately rather poor science, as accepting or rejecting any hypothesis is a positive result in that it contributes to the knowledge. Even if the H0 is not refuted we have learned something new, and the term ‘failure’, should only be applied to errors of experimental design, or incorrect initial assumptions. That said, the relative dearth of reports of negative outcome studies compared to positive ones in the scientific literature should give us some cause for question here.
The Neyman-Pearson approach has attained the status of orthodoxy in modern health science, but we should note that Fisher’s inductive inference and Neyman-Pearson’s deductive approach are actually philosophically opposed, and many researchers are unaware of the philosophical distinctions between them and misinterpret this in their reports.
Commonly researchers state H0 and Ha, the type I error rate (α) and the p-value is determined, and the power for the test statistic is computed, (Neyman–Pearson’s approach). But then the p-value is mistakenly presented as the Type I error rate and the probability that the null hypothesis is true (Fisher’s approach), rather than the correct interpretation that it represents probability that random sampling would lead to a difference between sample means as large, or larger than that observed if H0 were true (Neyman-Pearson’s approach). This seems a subtle difference but technically these are two very different things, and Fisher viewed his p-value as an objective measure of evidence against the null hypothesis, whilst Neyman & Pearson did not. They view that this (and particularly a single test in a single study) never “proves” anything.
As p-values represent conditional probabilities (conditional on the premise that the H0 is true) an example to help us understand this difference would be that the probability that a given nurse is female, Prob(female | Nurse), is around 80% the inverse probability, that a given female is a nurse; Prob(Nurse| female), is likely smaller than 5%. Arguments over this misinterpretation of p-values continues to lead to widespread disagreement on the interpretation of test results.
There is also some good evidence that because of the way p-values are calculated they actually exaggerate the evidence against the null hypothesis (Berger & Selke, 1987; Hubbard & Lindsay, 2008) and this represents one of the most significant (no pun intended – Ok well just a bit) criticisms of p-values as an overall measure of evidence.
if a result is important (or not).
The do give us some statistical evidence that the phenomenon we are examining likely exists but that is about it, and yet we should be very aware that the ubiquitous p-value does not provide an objective, or unambiguous measure of evidence in hypothesis testing. This is not a new argument and has been argued since the 1930’s with some researchers arguing that significance tests really represent modern sorcery rather than science (Bakan, 1966; Lambdin, 2012) and that their counter-intuitive nature frequently leads to confusion about the terminology.
Logically it has also been noted that p-values fail to meet the simple logical condition required by a measure of support, in that if hypothesis Ha implies hypothesis H0 as the converse we should expect at least as much support for H0 as there is for Ha (Hubbard & Lindsay, 2008; Schervish, 1996).
Our problem is we need practical methods that avoid us both dismissing meaningful results, and exaggerating evidence. Bayesian techniques have been a suggestion for the replacement significance texting and p-values, but have yet to take hold, probably because of the simplicity of implementing p-values and their widespread perceived objectivity (Thompson, 1998). Overall these concerns should emphasize the importance of repeated studies and consideration of findings in a larger context, and ultimately this leads us to a good argument of the value of meta-analysis.
But the question remains, why are we still relying on p-values when there are so many issues with them, and probably much better techniques?
Beat’s me and maybe the sooner we become Bayesian’s the better for science.

Atari Games Corp. v. Nintendo of Am., Inc.
Nintendo designed a program, the 10NES, for its Nintendo Entertain System (NES) to prevent the NES from accepting unauthorized game cartridges. The 10NES was programmed onto chips located in the NES console and in each game cartridge. Thus, only 10NES-enabled cartridges could “unlock” access to the NES console.
After a failed attempt to replicate the 10NES program, Atari, in December 1987, licensed the technology from Nintendo under strict licensing terms. Nintendo themselves placed Atari’s games in 10NES-enabled cartridges, and limited Atari, as well as other licensees, to five new NES games per year.
In early 1988, Atari applied to the Copyright Office for a reproduction of the 10NES source code, which the Copyright Office provided to Atari based on a false allegation by Atari that Atari needed the copy for pending litigation. There in fact was no pending litigation.
Based on the acquired source code, Atari developed its own program, the Rabbit program, which generated signals indistinguishable from the 10NES program and gave Atari access to the NES without Nintendo’s license conditions. The line-by-line instructions of the programs vary because Atari used a different microprocessor and programming language.
Nintendo brought suit against Atari alleging copyright infringement (and patent infringement, among other allegations). Atari brought several claims against Nintendo and asserted a copyright misuse defense. The United States District Court for the Northern District of California granted Nintendo’s request for a preliminary injunction based on copyright infringement. Atari appealed.
The Federal Circuit observed that while it had jurisdiction based on patent infringement claims included in the action, the court applies the law of the regional circuits, the Ninth Circuit in this case, to resolve issues of copyright law.
The Federal Circuit stated that “[t]o prevail on its copyright infringement claim, Nintendo must show ownership of the 10NES program copyright and copying by Atari of protectable expression from the 10NES program.” Ownership of the 10NES program was not in dispute, and thus, Nintendo had to prove only the copying of protectable expression.
Next, the court held that “Nintendo is likely to show successfully that Atari infringed the 10NES copyright by obtaining and copying the source code from the Copyright Office.” Atari obtained a copy from the Copyright Office by providing false information about a pending litigation, therefore obtaining an unauthorized reproduction. Thus, Atari infringed Nintendo’s copyright based on the reproduction of an unauthorized copy from the Copyright Office.
The court then also held that “Nintendo is likely to prove substantial similarity between the Rabbit and 10NES programs sufficient to support its infringement claims.” The court primarily relied on the fact that Rabbit incorporated unnecessary features, including features that were deleted from the original 10NES program. Thus, the court concluded that “copying of fully extraneous instructions unnecessary to the 10NES program’s functionality” suggests copying, not independent creation.
Atari argued as a defense to copyright infringement that Nintendo misused its copyright. Because there was no statutory basis for the copyright misuse defense, the court determined that the defense was solely an equitable doctrine. Therefore, while copyright misuse may be a viable defense, any party seeking the defense must have clean hands. Atari was ineligible to invoke the defense because of its lie to the Copyright Office to obtain a copy of the 10NES program.
The court therefore held that the district court did not err by granting the preliminary injunction against Atari. | 2019-04-18T14:23:26Z | http://patentarcade.com/2005/08/case-atari-v-nintendo-fed-cir-1992-c.html |

Chris Christie is a much better liar than Donald Trump–so why isn’t he president instead of Trump? Apparently Americans want entertainment with their lies and Trump is much more entertaining than Christie. Instead of vetting Trump before the 2016 election, the media used his draw to increase their revenues. Now, after the damage has been done and continues to this day, most of the media are trying to make up for their failures. When the truth is told, Trump just labels it fake news and his followers believe him, not the truth. | 2019-04-18T20:36:57Z | https://bell-book-candle.com/2018/10/21/liars-lie-part-3/ |

Parents need to know that although the bestselling Hunger Games books are enormously popular with tweens, there's a clear distinction between reading about violence and seeing it portrayed on screen. Developmentally, the 10- to 12-year-olds who've read the book may find the movie's visceral, sometimes bloody teen-on-teen violence upsetting -- especially the brutal scene that opens the Games, in which several teens are slaughtered by their fellow contestants. Even young teens need to be mature enough to deal with the 20+ deaths in The Hunger Games; characters are viciously dispatched with various weapons -- including spears, arrows, and swords -- as well as by having their necks broken, their skulls cracked, and their bodies ravaged by carnivorous and poisonous creatures. Despite the violence (which is, overall, less graphic than the novel's descriptions but is still very intense), the movie explores thought-provoking themes about reality television, totalitarian government, and screen violence as entertainment. And Katniss, the main character, is a strong heroine who's resourceful, selfless, and a true survivor. Her mentor, Haymitch, is initially depicted as a cynical drunk, but he ultimately proves to be a valuable ally.
Peeta reveals that he's had a crush on Katniss since they were kids, and the two kiss a couple of times, one time pretty passionately.
As in the book, The Hunger Games' central "pageant" is a televised battle to the death: 24 children between the ages of 12 and 18 (12 girls, 12 boys) are selected to participate in a bloody reality show-style contest in which there's only one victor. There's a pervasive sense of peril and tension, and once the Games start, there's an immediate bloodbath, with vicious weapon use, a fair amount of blood, and several dead bodies -- though the quick editing means that the most gruesome bits aren't lingered on. The young combatants proceed to die from spears, arrows, knives, deadly insect bites, attack by genetically modified dog-like creatures, and poisonous berries (some deaths occur off camera). A couple of the tributes also have their necks snapped or heads bashed. The Gamemakers purposely devise situations to try and kill off characters, including a scary fire with fireball projectiles; another scene has a large explosion. Katniss is badly burned; Peeta has a nasty knife injury. Earlier in the movie, there are scenes of characters practicing with weapons and demonstrating their deadly skills, as well as gory snippets of footage from earlier Games. Scenes of a riot and subsequent retaliation by government forces.
Very infrequent use of words like "damn," "hell," and "oh my God" (as an exclamation).
Thought-provoking, complex messages. Teamwork and loyalty are valued, but deception and artifice are also rewarded. The will to survive, the fragile relationship between a dictatorial government and its oppressed people, rebellion as a preferred option to obedience, and the distinction between image and reality are all addressed. There are many discussion-worthy themes in the movie, and they touch on everything from the micro/personal to the macro/political.
No product placements in the film, but the viral marketing and merchandise tie-ins for the movie (and books) include a line of themed nail polish, as well as apparel, jewelry, games, and more.
Haymitch is often drunk; he has a drink in his hand for the first half of the movie -- though as he gains focus/motivation, he drinks less. Several dinner and party scenes show adults and teenagers drinking various brightly colored beverages/cocktails. | 2019-04-20T18:25:13Z | https://dvd.netflix.com/Movie/The-Hunger-Games/70206672?strkid=611165276_1_0&%3Bstrackid=4fbc183efe1ecc6c_1_srl&%3Btrkid=222336 |
When the summer break began, Jinno Naoto and Manabe Rika confessed their thought they had since their childhood and began to go out with each other. Suddenly a boy named Asmodeus appeared. He said he was a devil, and he tried to take Rika away. Naoto did his best to save Rika from Asmodeus, but he couldn't anything to do with devil's power. At that very moment, a girl Luvriel, who name herself an angel, came and saved them.
They took Luvriel injured in the battle against the devil. There, Luvriel told them the surprising things; angles in Heaven and devils in Hell have been fighting for a long time, and the devil would attack them again.
Because Luvriel had lost her power during the fight, she asked Rika fight for her.
On the other hand, the devil had lost his power in the fight. Then, Otonashi Meimi, who was a classmate of Naoto, happened to come and see Naoto confess his love to Rika, and she became jealous. Taking advantage of her jealous, he haunted her. He made Meimi into an evil heroine, Misty, and made her attack Rika again. On the other hand, Luvriel turned Rika into Sei Tenshi Djibril and let her fight against them. | 2019-04-21T16:37:33Z | http://hentai.animeholics.org/watch/makai-tenshi-djibril/ |

HONG KONG: Asian markets gained on Monday, following a Wall Street rally on upbeat jobs data, while the dollar and euro held on to healthy gains made against the yen at the end of last week. Tokyo climbed 0.36 percent to a 33-month high, Hong Kong added 0.68 percent, Shanghai rose 0.50 percent, Seoul advanced 0.20 percent and Sydney was flat.
US traders sent the Dow to a more than five-year high Friday on the back of the latest jobs data.
The labour department report showed employers added 157,000 jobs in January, fewer than expected, and the jobless rate inched up to 7.9 percent.
However, revised data for all of 2012 showed net job growth at an average of 181,000 a month, up from a prior estimate of 153,000.
The Dow rallied 1.08 percent to 14,009.79, above 14,000 points for the first time since October 2007. The index is just shy of the record high 14,164.53 seen on October 9, 2007.
The broad-based S&P 500 added 1.01 percent and the Nasdaq jumped 1.18 percent.
"The US is basking in good news at the moment because the debt negotiations have kicked the can down the road," he added, referring to a delay until May to negotiations on raising the country's debt ceiling.
And UniCredit's Harm Bandholz in the United States said the updates to the 2012 data "highlight even more how remarkably resilient the US labor market has been over the last two quarters".
The jobs figures sent the dollar and euro higher against the yen on Friday, and the units edged down slightly on profit-taking on Monday in Tokyo forex trade.
The dollar bought 92.76 yen against 92.80 yen in New York late Friday, while the euro sat at 126.35 yen and $1.3624, compared with 126.60 yen and $1.3637.
Oil prices fell, with New York's main contract, light sweet crude for delivery in March dropping 27 cents to $97.50 a barrel and Brent North Sea crude for March delivery shedding 30 cents to $116.46. | 2019-04-22T08:58:24Z | http://www.forexpk.com/index.php?/highlights/business-news/asia-shares-rise-on-wall-street-rally-us-jobs-data.html |
Revealed! The date when Shah Rukh Khan will be seen promoting Dilwale on Salman Khan’s Bigg Boss 9!
The day we have all been waiting for is finally here guys! Shah Rukh Khan and Salman Khan are all set to reunite on Bigg Boss 9 in a couple of weeks! Yes! While initially there were reports of SRK's willingness to promote Dilwale on Bigg Boss 9. It can now be confirmed that this blockbuster episode will be aired either on 5 – 6th December, or on the 13-14th December, ahead of Dilwale's release on the 18th! Now isn't that some big news?
Not to forget, Salman had already sent an open invite to SRK much before Bigg Boss 9 went air! He had even revealed this during a press con saying, "I would love to have him(SRK) on the show, but he knows I don't mean this. See, if he has the dates and he wants to come on the show then he is more than welcome. If he wants to come and spend some time with the contestants then he is more than welcome. So I would rather want to put it like this than say I would love to have him on the show. So if he is coming he should come, promote(Dilwale), have fun, go inside the house, chit-chat with the contestants, give them his life experiences because you know he has got a lot of experiences in life and then, that's it!"
Well, looks like everything has fallen in place now and Shah Rukh has managed to make time for his dear friend Salman! This reminds us how Salman too had made time for SRK during his 50th birthday this year! Remember their Sultan hug? The two are totally setting friendship goals for us and we wouldn't be surprised if they break into something even cuter on Bigg Boss 9! Are you excited to watch SRK and Salman back in action again? If not in a film, let's await them on Bigg Boss 9 soon! | 2019-04-23T22:58:23Z | http://www.tvtalks.in/Newsdetails.aspx?NewsID=10547 |
As the holiday season ramps up this year, I wanted to take a few moments and reflect on what I am thankful for, and to challenge us all to not only be grateful for what we have, but also to consider what we can share with those around us.
Thanksgiving brings with it a wave of gratefulness – some post 30 days of thankfulness on social media, we share a meal in the very spirit of being thankful for all we have, and we spend time with those for whom we are most thankful: our family and friends.
I am thankful for the opportunity of this organization to provide programs and services of choice for our students, school districts, and families. Those who buy or receive services from us do not have to do so, and I am grateful that we have become a leader in our region, an organization to which others look for guidance and success.
I am thankful for our staff. Whether you are a teacher, administrator, clerk, maintenance worker, support staff, an accountant, or any of the countless other positions within our organization, you are an important piece of our BOCES. I value you the personality and perspective you bring to our organization. Without a dedicated, unique staff, we would not be able to fulfill our purpose of bringing top-quality programs and services to our region.
I am thankful for our many community partners. Without their support, many of the opportunities we offer students and educators in our region would cease to exist. Whether a business has supported a teacher in the Summer STEM Research Institute, hosted Career & Technical Education student interns, or served as a work-based learning site for our programs for students with special needs, these partnerships are vital to our success as an organization, and they embody the true meaning of collaboration, which at its core, is the essence of BOCES. Thank you for your commitment to helping our students succeed in whatever comes next in their lives.
Questar III is the sum of our many relationships with staff, students, parents, school districts, community partners and countless others. We provide students with life-changing experiences and school districts with the service, leadership and expertise that makes them more efficient, effective and responsive.
As we reflect on the many things we are thankful for this holiday season, I also encourage you to share what you can with whoever you are able to share it with. This could be a meal, a smile, a story, a helping hand, or a sense of compassionate humanity and care for others. | 2019-04-24T08:30:52Z | https://www.questar.org/2018/11/30/thankfulness-and-sharing-during-the-holiday-season/ |

Let us know which ones are your favorites and feel free to add a few of your own.
Wishing the women throughout the world a very Happy International Women’s Day. Give yourself a hug.
What a night of joy, love and inspiration. This past Thursday, I met author and motivational speaker, Marianne Williamson.?
Seventeen years ago, ?I purchased her book, A Return to Love, and since that time have read it at least five times. To this day, this book remains one of my personal favorites in my home library. Both the author, and her book have changed my life in a powerful way and have allowed me to share these experiences to help others find love in their lives.
Of course I was meant to meet Marianne Williamson. Why it took 17 years, I am not sure as we have mutual friends and business acquaintances in common. ?Perhaps I wasn’t ready yet, but when I received an invitation from my friend, Gina Ratliffe to meet Marianne, I jumped at the chance.?
Her teachings have had a profound affect on my life. After her powerful talk, I had the opportunity talk with her personally and thanked her. ?We embraced each other with a loving hug, and she listened as I told her just how much she has meant to me over the years. It was our moment together of authenticity and pure love.
The process from her book, teachings, and her interpretation of The Course in Miracles is simple. You get scared, you go into fear mode. To get out of fear mode, you return to love mode. The opposite of love isn’t hate?it’s fear. It’s simple, practical, ?spiritual, and we all need to be reminded of it on a regular basis. This goes for love relationships, work relationships, and friendships.
and practice these simple and powerful techniques. You’ll be surprised at the amount of joy you will receive in return.
Isn’t it time you followed your dreams and started getting paid for your expert advice? Have you thought of reinventing yourself and you didn’t know how to get started? If you answered yes to any of these questions, read on.

Every two years, the Mesilla Valley MPO is required to develop a new Transportation Improvement Program (TIP). The TIP outlines the 6-year program for funding the various transportation projects that are scheduled to receive federal or selected state funds within the Mesilla Valley MPO area.
The Open Call for Projects for the 2020 – 2025 TIP commenced on November 19, 2018 and concluded on February 22, 2019. The Mesilla Valley MPO Public Participation Plan requires that the MPO have a 30 day public comment period before the MPO Policy Committee considers the new TIP for adoption. That public comment period commenced on April 4, 2019 at the regularly scheduled Technical Advisory Meeting.
MPO Staff intends to take the TIP to the MPO Policy Committee for action on May 8, 2019.
The current draft of the Mesilla Valley MPO 2020 – 2025 TIP is available here. | 2019-04-23T16:49:57Z | http://mesillavalleympo.org/2020-2025-tip-public-comment-period/ |
The story unfolds through a series of clever edits that simultaneously play up the conflict but remind the viewer that there's love beneath it all. The man reaches out for his wife's hand -- she quickly pulls away, as the spot quickly cuts in scenes of the couple in a more happy, romantic moment. Meanwhile, it's all backed by a moving, folksy guitar track by Clem Snide's Eef Barzelay, who, oddly, happens to be playing right there on the farm. | 2019-04-22T01:58:48Z | https://adage.com/creativity/work/love-life-live-it-naturally-cow/41331 |

Your biggest day requires your most beautiful complexion which is why pre-wedding skin preparation is the workout not to be missed.
The ring is perfect, your dress is perfection and the venue is breathtaking – you’ve organised everything just right, so what about your skin? It’s likely you’ve already booked a photographer and hair & makeup artist but have you spoken to your Skin Technician? On your big day we know you’ll glow from the inside out but a radiant complexion is that special icing on your wedding day look.
We chat with Ultraceuticals Global Education Ambassador, Tracey Beeby on how to get started.
I want perfect skin on my wedding day, how far in advance do I need to begin a skin regimen?
Begin treating your skin as early as possible as this will allow you to relax with a maintenance program prior to the big day. I’d recommend at least six months as the minimum that a skin regimen should begin however if there are specific concerns you’d like to focus on – such as blemishes or pigmentation – these should begin at least a year before.
I have a lot to plan! Where is the best place to start when it comes to wedding day skin?
As with all skin treatments, the best way to begin is with a thorough skin assessment. This will allow you to discuss your needs with a Skin Technician and together work to a plan that not only suits you financially, but importantly will deliver results in the required time frame. And make sure you also consider the skin on your body – I’d suggest the regular use of a cosmeceutical body cream and sunscreen.
Planning a wedding is stressful. Do you have any tips for last minute breakouts?
Aside from a regular skincare routine, a good diet and regular exercise is vital. However, with all that planning stress, breakouts are inevitable! Have a spot treatment on hand such as the Ultraceuticals Ultra Clear Spot Treatment this can be used up to three times daily and will assist to clear the spot as quickly as it arrived. And remember, never try new products or treatments within the final four weeks of the wedding just in case a negative skin response may occur.
Start with a thorough skin health check to ensure a good home care program is integrated with personalised cosmetic clinic treatments. Homecare should include the basics: cleanser, moisturiser, sunscreen and environmental protection with treatment serums then added to target specific concerns. Clinic treatments should be performed fortnightly or monthly depending on the results required.
No intense treatments should be performed within one month of the big day and so this is the ideal time for monthly or fortnightly skin peels and maintenance treatments. Sunscreen must be worn daily on the body as well as the face to prevent tan lines developing that may work against your dress design.
As peels are not recommended during this time focus on maintenance treatments including LED light therapy to enhance the skin’s glow before the big day and spa body services for relaxation.
Diligence and routine with homecare is vital to prevent any potential breakouts on the day. If masks and a physical exfoliant are part of your original homecare program, these may be used at home one week out.
Your commitment to skin health has served you well. Stick to your routine, prep with UV protection for your outdoor photo moments, and stay hydrated with regular spritz of a skin mist. Then just relax, go forth and glow!

Usually tropical drinks pop up when the heat of the summer has us melting quicker than a popsicle. Today’s tiki drink has some heat to it so it will keep you warm while the last of the winter chill still lingers. This weekend is calling for a round of these Jalapeño Pina Coladas, don’t you think!
Jalapeños can cause a burning mouth of fire. Adding sweet, fresh pineapple juice and cool, creamy coconut tempers that heat. It’s smooth and sipable with tinges of spiciness that work in harmony, leaving a linger heat in your mouth that has you coming back for more of this tropical drink!
Be sure to use coconut creme and not milk. It’s thicker and creamier and will help balance the heat from the jalapeño. Trader Joe’s has cans of coconut creme as do most grocery stores. Be sure not to use the saccharine bottled versions, they are like a coconut creme syrup and will make the drink too sweet.
Juice pineapple Slice jalapeño and remove seeds. Place in a shaker. Muddle well. Add the rest of the ingredients into the shaker. Shake vigorously with ice. Strain into a tall glass with pebble or crushed ice. Garnish with pineapple and jalapeno slice.
Wow, this sounds so delicious!
Thanks, Hannah! It really is!
I’ll never get tired of mixing spicy with rum, pineapple, and coconut!! :-)))) And you HAVE to tell me you’ve tried St. George’s jalapeño vodka. I just did, and it blew me away. If I can’t find any fresh peppers, that would make a divine substitution. PS – I’m in love with these cocktail glasses! XO!
Their green chili vodka is aaamazing, one of the few flavored vodkas that I utilize!
Arn’t they darling? Found them at a local vintage store! | 2019-04-24T14:51:40Z | https://craftandcocktails.co/2016/04/01/jalapeno-pina-colada/ |
Let me take you back to 2005 and the first time I visited the remote village of Gitigarawa on the Plateau in South Kivu, eastern DR Congo. I had travelled there to assess the needs and priorities of children and communities from this war-affected, forgotten region, and to make recommendations to Children in Crisis’ Board of Trustees as to whether we should begin a new programme in this region.
The winding journey up the mountain to Gitigarawa was tense, with frequent road blocks manned by heavily armed soldiers. At every road block, people were being manhandled; their agricultural produce taken from them as a form of ‘tax’ by the local soldiers. In the eyes of the women, I could see how ground-down they were – powerless in the face of men with guns.
At Gitigarawa itself, nestled on the mountainside, the first community meeting we held was packed. It was at this meeting, attended solely by men, that I got my first insight into the spirit of a local population determined to plan for a better tomorrow. With a tentative national peace declared some two years earlier, but with militia still active across the Plateau, returning populations were sick of conflict and desperate for a return to normality. Children’s education was a named priority in meeting after meeting. I also got an insight into some of the societal dysfunctions that existed, namely the deep mistrust between tribes and the extreme marginalisation of women and girls. After some gentle cajoling, I did get to speak with women on this trip, and heard their powerful testimonies, their hopes for a better future, and a longed-for return to peace.
On my return to the UK it was agreed that a new programme was needed in eastern DR Congo, and so the journey began. By 2007 we had launched the first of what has become an inspiring education programme with local partner, Eben-Ezer Ministry International (EMI). The purpose of this programme has been to improve the education opportunities of primary school-aged children across the region. It has been an ambitious undertaking, delivered in stages, gradually and over time. Teacher training and school building have been accompanied by school management training and the establishment of teacher support networks; creative, grassroots community awareness raising on women and children’s rights have led to the establishment of village savings and loans associations (VSLAs), designed principally to empower women. All the while, activities have been delivered against a backdrop of post-conflict recovery and complex inter-community/inter-tribal dynamics.
An external evaluation of this education programme found that it has become a reference point for change and is held up as the reason for the steady and significant development taking place in the region. The external evaluation went on to state that EMI/Children in Crisis have played a substantial part in reorganising and reviving a deeply dysfunctional primary education system by raising general standards for teachers, by giving a sense of responsibility to school directors and by getting parents more involved….but that, inevitably, there is more still to do.
I take some considerable pride in the findings of this evaluation, especially when I reflect back to that very first trip to Gitigarawa and the problems that abounded. Most of all, I take pride in the careful, considered approach that Children in Crisis and our partners have taken over the years and will continue to take. The challenges of post conflict recovery and development are multiple and complex. War affects children long after the fighting has stopped. Neighbours that once lived peacefully together are divided; resources that once were shared, are fought over; trust takes time to rebuild.
Working side-by-side, with people, rather than for people, also takes time, is difficult, frustrating and can be one step forward and two steps back – but worth it in the long run. The changes that can be observed at Gitigarawa are testament to this and a testament to each and every one of Children in Crisis’s supporters whose faith and commitment to our work enable us to deliver lasting, meaningful improvements to children’s lives. | 2019-04-26T14:38:52Z | https://www.childrenincrisis.org/stories/no-quick-fixes |
If you are prepared to throw yourself into the Kartra 4 Day Cash Machine world, it has one of the best affiliate programs on the market. I will be talking about that too later on.
In case you’ve never created a sales funnel before then Kartra 4 Day Cash Machine has you covered.
While Kartra 4 Day Cash Machine gives you a wonderful starting point with its funnel and page templates, the Kartra 4 Day Cash Machine editor is the place you can truly make each page in your funnel your own.
Elements (or widgets) are all vital for providing you the flexibility to design the specific pages you woud like and Kartra 4 Day Cash Machine gives you a large variety of them to use.
The Kartra 4 Day Cash Machine affiliate program pays out 40% recurring commissions for each referral you make and you can win cool prizes like $500 towards your own dream car as soon as you hit 100 active referrals.
Kartra 4 Day Cash Machine also has another excellent feature for affiliates called share funnels.
Kartra 4 Day Cash Machine limits you to 20 funnels, 100 pages, and 20,000 visitors on their cheapest plan. I’m really not a fan of software products that limit you in this way.
That is why Kartra 4 Day Cash Machine put so much work into the onboarding process to help ease you into the software. The Kartra interface is fairely well designed for the most part and when you’ve assembled a couple funnels yourself, the entire process does get easier over time.
Kartra 4 Day Cash Machine support is fairly good in my experience, although they can be a little slow in responding. They use Intercom, so you may immediately ask questions in the live chat box. Support requests are usually answered in a couple of hours and I found the staff to pretty helpful to all my questions.
Even though Kartra 4 Day Cash Machine has its own email service provider via Actionetics, it also integrates directly with all the best email marketing software on the market.
I believe Kartra 4 Day Cash Machine gets some negative buzz around it due to all of the affiliates who are making an effort to market it.
There are a few Kartra 4 Day Cash Machine alternatives out there which share a number of the same capabilities as Kartra 4 Day Cash Machine. Two that I use myself are LeadPages and SamCart.
However, if you are selling a service or product, then Kartra 4 Day Cash Machine is the better choice. While it comes with a higher learning curve than Leadpages, once you master the tool, you can really explode your sales as soon as you begin creating sales funnels for each of your products.
SamCart is a product that lets users build amazing, high converting checkout pages. Which gives it a lot in common with Kartra 4 Day Cash Machine.
SamCart does permit you to add order bumps, upsells and downsells such as Kartra 4 Day Cash Machine does. You can also quickly create coupons for your products which is just another terrific way to increase conversions.
However, where Samcart is missing, is the capability to capture leads and build complete sales funnels. The products come in at the same $97 a month price point, and I find Kartra 4 Day Cash Machine to be quite a bit more flexible and powerful than Samcart.
Otherwise, Kartra 4 Day Cash Machine could be overkill for you. You can collect leads or sell your front end product more cheaply using alternative services. | 2019-04-25T02:24:27Z | https://www.funnelcloudstudio.com/kartra-4-day-cash-machine/ |

A young Seema discovers a cache of letters and papers in a locker belonging to her deceased mother. Besides chronicling her far-roving life across Canada, USA, Mexico, and India, these offer a glimpse into her private history-her feelings for M, a major leader of the Communist movement in British India and abroad; her commitment to, not only him, but also his cause; and her struggle to keep alive her feelings for him after his disenchantment with Communism. Even as Seema's mother grows increasingly cynical about the Communist cause, Seema blossoms into a rebel, voicing her dissent during the Emergency. If her insurgent spirit is curtailed, it is on account of a marriage that cramps her style. All at once, Seema's story crisscrosses with her mother's-as both women try making sense of lackluster alliances; as both find comfort in letters. A deftly woven tale spanning India's pre- and post-Independence history, Letters to Mamma is, above all, a celebration of words. These are words staining missives; words connecting the contradictory worlds of idealism and reality; and words that remind readers why Keki N. Daruwalla remains one of India's greatest writers. | 2019-04-20T08:28:38Z | https://www.recordedbooks.com/title-details/9789386797230 |

“All the gold names have been pretty much getting hammered both on the credit side and the equity side for quite some time with gold prices coming down,” Wen Li, an analyst at CreditSights Inc., said in a phone interview yesterday. Pascua- Lama is also a “really big overhang” for Barrick, he said.
Gold futures in New York yesterday dropped below $1,200 for the first time since August 2010, as signs of improving U.S. economic growth boosted speculation the Federal Reserve will wind down its asset-purchase program. After rising to a record $1,923.70 an ounce in September 2011, gold futures for August delivery fell 1.6 percent to $1,192.20 at 8:47 a.m. today on the Comex in New York.
Barrick has forecast it will cost $950 to $1,050 to produce an ounce of gold on average from all its mines this year. Goldcorp forecast a cost of $1,000 to $1,100. | 2019-04-24T13:16:24Z | https://business.financialpost.com/investing/golds-plunge-has-miners-trading-as-junk |
Gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) is a neurotransmitter and plays a role in the regulation of muscle tone. As its name suggests, it is technically an amino acid. However, it is unique to what most people know as amino acids because the amino acids that we are familiar with are in an alpha configuration, whereas GABA is in a gamma configuration. Consequently, it is not incorporated into proteins.
Where Does GABA Come from?
GABA is synthesised naturally within our body and low concentrations can be found in animal and plant products (cherry tomatoes are a good source). However, generally speaking, the amount we eat in our diet is very low.
The potentially beneficial property of GABA is the theory that it may increase levels of hGH (human growth hormone) within the body. Human growth hormone is produced in the pituitary gland and aids in lean tissue gain, reduction of fat mass, and increases bone density. There have been a few studies that have suggested that GABA supplementation has resulted in elevated levels of hGH. An earlier study found that a single 5 g dose of GABA significantly increased plasma hGH levels in three hours (Cavagnini et al, 1980). A more recent study has supported these findings, reporting that 3 g GABA supplementation increased hGH levels in men at rest and during exercise compared to a placebo (Powers et al, 2008).
No doubt, if GABA is effective in increasing hGH, this may be beneficial for bodybuilders. Powers et al (2008) stated that, "augmenting the postexercise irGH/ifGH response may improve resistance training-induced muscular adaptations", which simply means "increasing hGH may increase muscle gains".
Another effect of increased hGH is the benefit it has on reducing fat mass. Therefore, if GABA is effective in increasing hGH, it may be helpful for those wishing to lose fat. The efficiency of fat loss may be a result of the ability of hGH to stimulate muscle growth, and hence elevate resting metabolic rate to burn more fat.
One of the other reported effects of GABA is that is has a calming and relaxing effect. Consequently, it has also been used as a sleeping aid.
One criticism behind the rationale of GABA supplementation is that for GABA to work, it needs to find its way into the brain. However, GABA does not readily cross the blood brain barrier, so it may not be able to exert its effect on the pituitary gland. It seems that although GABA may be able to increase hGH, taking too much may actually have the opposite effect. A study has shown that a dose of 18 g/day for four days actually reduced hgH levels (Driskell & Wolinsky, 2009). The use of GABA appears to be safe. However it is not as well studied as some other supplements. Therefore, if you are pregnant, are on medications, or have any serious illnesses, consult your healthcare professional before commencing supplementation.
Due to the negative effect of high levels of GABA intake on hGH production, you should be wary of dosage, and make sure that you are not actually doing the opposite of what is intended. Studies have suggested that a 3 g dosage is adequate for promoting hGH production (Powers, 2008), and therefore is the recommended dosage. Because GABA may have a calming effect, it would be better to take the supplement an hour before bed, so it does not reduce your focus during the day.
GABA can be found as a pure stand-alone supplement.
Since GABA is a hGH promotant, it can be stacked with other hGH supplements. Here, they may work synergistically to provide different mechanisms to potentially boost your natural hGH levels. Additionally, since GABA is best taken at night, it could also be taken with a slow release night time protein, such as casein. However, if you are taking GABA purely as a sleep supplement, it may be better to do so on an empty stomach to promote rapid absorption. | 2019-04-22T09:07:43Z | https://www.mrsupplement.com.au/gaba |
The Old Testament tells the story of the beginnings of God’s salvation history, and it is part of the authoritative canon of Scripture affirmed by the church. But what role should the laws of the old covenant play in the lives of those living under the new covenant?
Can Christians embrace the commandment to “love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength” but ignore the laws regarding clean and unclean food? Some have suggested that Christians remain under the moral laws of the old covenant, while others have argued that some of the Old Testament laws—for example, the Ten Commandments—still apply to Christians. | 2019-04-22T09:57:11Z | https://lawandreligionforum.org/2016/12/05/todd-sinai-and-the-saints/ |

BEHIND THE SCENES IN HOLLYWOOD Behind the Scenes in Hollywood is a quick paced, breezy production that offers short, lively updates on coming stars, tidbits about movies in production, and descriptions of wardrobes, engagement rings, and colorful movie anecdotes. McCormick introduced the series with these words: "Very few of us have the time or opportunity to visit in and around the movie studios in Hollywood and actually see how motion pictures are made... What really goes on before and after the cameras begin to grind... To talk with the stars, directors, artisans, the cameramen, authors, producers, screenwriters, and stand-ins... To learn at first hand all the interesting, colorful things that bring a completed movie picture to a theatre screen..." To date, the Old Time Radio Researchers Library features eighteen episodes produced in 1945. Each is between ten and twelve minutes. They feature RKO publicist, Bidwell McCormick and a cast of announcers. McCormick would open the show, then Nathan Hale, Nona Rey, or another announcer, would alternate stories, or in some cases, paragraphs, to keep the story fast-paced.

“But how are we supposed to meet with them if we don’t know if we can trust them?” Anton asked swiftly. They had to keep this meeting short. It had taken them a while to all get to the abandoned house safely. The Academy was watching every move now, waiting for a mistake.
The group turned to Ann. Toni, Melvin, Anton and Lieutenant had all seen people who seemed to be hinting that they wanted to join their mini rebellion.
“What do you mean?” Toni asked.
“But what if they don’t understand that they have to act on their own?” Anton asked.
“Or get too scared of acting by themselves?” Lieutenant questioned.
“I think Ann just got promoted to Captain,” Lieutenant said, clapping her hand to Ann’s and pulling their fingers apart.

Trump's new immigration ad was panned as racist. Turns out it was also based on a falsehood. - Hartford Courant Trump's new immigration ad was panned as racist. Turns out it was also based on a falsehood.
Trump's new immigration ad was panned as racist. Turns out it was also based on a falsehood.
The expletive-filled advertisement President Donald Trump released this week, seemingly to raise fears about immigration in advance of the midterm elections, was widely denounced, with Democrats and even some Republicans criticizing it as racist.
But, beyond the outrage, the ad was also reportedly based on a falsehood.
The 53-second video focuses on the courtroom behavior of Luis Bracamontes, an undocumented immigrant who was convicted of killing two sheriff's deputies in California in 2014 and bragged about it during the trial.
"Democrats let him into our country," the ad's script reads. "Democrats let him stay."
Just one problem: It doesn't appear to be true.
Bracamontes, who had been deported multiple times before his crime spree, last entered the country while George W. Bush was president, sometime between May 2001 and February 2002, when there is a record for his marriage in Arizona, according to the Sacramento Bee.
He lived near Salt Lake City until 2014, when a methamphetamine-fueled road trip ended with the murder of the two Sacramento-area deputies, according to the Bee.
The ad also failed to mention that in 1998 he was arrested on drug charges in Phoenix, then released by the office of Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio "for reasons unknown," the Bee reported.
Arpaio, a close Trump ally who has made waves for his hard-line immigration policies and rhetoric, was convicted in 2017 for ignoring a federal judge's order to stop detaining people on the suspicion of being undocumented immigrants. He was later pardoned by Trump.
The Maricopa County Sheriff's Office did not respond to a request for comment.
Bracamontes had been deported under both Democratic and Republican presidencies.
He was first arrested on charges related to marijuana possession in Phoenix in 1996 and sentenced to four months in jail, the Bee reported. He served his time and was deported in 1997, when Bill Clinton was president, only to be deported again in 2001 soon after being arrested on marijuana charges, according to the Bee.
Bracamontes has been sentenced to the death penalty in the murder case. | 2019-04-20T21:09:21Z | https://www.courant.com/nation-world/hc-wp-trump-racist-ad-20181102-story.html |
Bards Tale on the Spectrum was my first taste of RPG gaming. When I heard that this hallowed Rpg was now on iPad I could hardly contain my excitement. With the original Spectrum role player I must admit that it didn't live up to my expectations, being slow and stilted, the technology just wasn't there to make a proper Fantasy world come alive. Even when the Bard's Tale made its way to the Xbox some decades later I was again slightly put out as it didn't live up to the heroic ideals and grandiose dreams that I had of what a true Fighting Fantasy type game should be.
Well now the technology is definitely here to make all our other realm dreams come true (especially proven with my addiction to Skyrim!) but how does this type of grand and epic fantasy translate to the touch screened iPad?
Well it must firstly be said that it is a port of the 2004 Xbox RPG and not the original and much loved (if only for nostalgia's sake) Spectrum game (was the Bard's Tale on other consoles or PC? I'm only speaking from personal gaming experience here) . What makes this touchscreen fantasy immediately standout is the quirky humour that the series is known for. A satirical British flavour delivered by a States based game developer is definitely a unique and much loved feature of this game!
The eponymous Bard is a likeable and mischievous rogue , who is all up for quaffing a good ale, leering at buxom wenches and going on the odd adventure. The game has a fantastic storyline brought to life by a quintessentially English narrator. It is as much a story of high adventure as a coming of age and transformation of the Bard from a likeable rogue into a powerful warrior.
The journey along the way is truly epic and brought to life by some very slick iPad game controls. The game takes place in an isometric viewpoint with a left movement pad controlling your character and icons for blocking and attacking. The in-game fighting mechanics are brilliant as timing is key to parry your enemies strikes, mistimed parries result in damage to you. But get your iPad swordplay right and your enemy will soon be staggering back ready for you to lunge in with more powerful attacks.
This is probably one of the biggest and most epic games we've seen on iOS. There's unlockable quests to win, mysterious powers to master and an hilarious and deep RPG storyline to revel in. A must have RPG game for the iPad. | 2019-04-21T04:46:20Z | http://www.gametrender.net/2012/02/ipad-rpg-comes-of-age-with-bards-tale.html |

A 76-year-old Mr P.D (Patient Reference No L-6259) reported to the clinic with a known case of Intestinal Diverticuli since 3 years. He complained of increased frequency stools with mucus. He had marked discomfort in abdomen, which was aggravated by sitting and was relieved by lying down.
Along with IBS, he also complained of pain in the calves since six months, which got aggravated between 8 am to 4 pm.
He was diagnosed with Rheumatoid Arthritis about 18 years ago with severe pain in the knees. He used to find it very difficult to be seated for more than half an hour. All his rheumatic complaints aggravated by sitting, walking or squatting for a long time.
He had an average appetite. He was very fond of sweets and onions. He had excessive thirst. He was very sensitive to slightest exposure to drafts of air. He couldn’t tolerate cold in general. He had increased frequency of urination (1-2 times/night). He had to wait a lot to urinate. He had disturbing sleeping patterns due to constantly waking up for urination.
He worked as a store officer and resided with his family. He was very anxious about his illness. He feared about his disease being cancerous (malignant). He used to constantly be under a feeling of being trapped in the house and not being able to move freely. He had marked aversion to being alone. He loved to talk and so he desired company. He opted for voluntary retirement (earlier than his tenure) as he was fed up with his previous job. He would often get angry and shout at his executives/manager at the job. He labels himself as a ‘terror’ at his job place. He would be very punctual. At the same time he was very fastidious in nature (would want to see everything in order). He used to be gloomy as his son was away for most of the time and he was left with no one to talk.
His history revealed that he had undergone surgery for Benign Enlargement of Prostate six years back, as a result of which he developed a stricture and now had to undergo regular dilatation. Investigations like barium enema revealed Multiple Intestinal Diverticuli.
After a detailed case history, he was prescribed constitutional homeopathic medicines. After eight months of treatment, the frequency of his stools had reduced and there was no presence of mucus in the stools. The tightness in the abdomen significantly improved. Pain in the calf muscles was relieved by about 90 %. After about 22 months as he reported, he was suffering from nasal discharge and yellowish discharge from his right ear. He was treated for his acute symptoms and he was overall relieved of symptoms. | 2019-04-20T22:44:54Z | https://www.askdrshah.com/app/irritable-bowel-syndrome/ibs-casestudies.aspx?CS_ID=81 |

I don’t care if you use Hadoop or grep+Perl scripts. If you can demonstrate enough performance to do what you claim you can do, that’s what matters to me from a backend point of view. Now, can you show me that your tool does what it should do better than your competitors?
There is a trend about the messages I’ve been hearing during vendor briefings over the past few months. They spend a lot of time talking about how great their architecture is, all those Hadoop stack components so beautifully integrated, showing how aligned to the latest data management, machine learning and analytics they are. They are proud of the stuff under the hood. But, very often, without verifiable claims on their effectiveness.
This is getting close to the insanity level. “We have AI”. “We are hadoop based”. “We do ML and Deep Learning”. It’s like the technology and techniques being used are the only thing to look for, and not the results! This may work to lure the VCs, but I cannot see how anyone would buy something that uses all this cool technology for…what exactly?
You see advanced analytics that provide “confidence levels” that do not change based on user feedback. Crazy visualizations that don’t tell you anything and could be easily replaced by a simple table view. “Deep Learning” for matching TI indicators to firewall logs. The list is endless.
My concern with this craziness is that vendors are mixing priorities here; they want to show they are using the latest techniques, but not worried about showing how effective they are. There are so many attempts to be the next “next-gen”, but not enough attempts to do help organizations solve their problems. This is killing innovation in security. I want to see how your tool makes threat detection 10x better, not that you can process 10x more data than your competitor.
There are cases where performance and capacity bottlenecks are the main pain point of an industry. Think SIEM before they started moving away from RDBMS, for example. But this is not always true. Now we see vendors happy to claim their products are based on Big Data technologies, but the use cases don’t require more than a few hundred megabytes of data stored. Stop that nonsense.
If you’re getting into this industry now, do so with a product that will work better than what organizations already have in place: findings more threats, faster and using less resources during detection and response. If your next-gen technology is not able to do so, it’s just a toy. And the message I hear from our clients is clear: We don’t want another toy, we want something that makes our lives easier.

We like to say that permaculture is a way to “have your nature, and eat it too”!
Most of us are used to the idea that providing for human needs, such as our food, fuel and clothing is inherently destructive to natural systems. But it wasn’t always that way. Many human cultures have lived in harmony with their environments, albeit consuming far less than modern industrial peoples. Permaculture draws insights from these traditional cultures, from modern sciences and from personal observations of nature, to collect new and old ways of providing for human needs that are not only sustainable, but regenerative. Our aim is to create edible ecosystems. As designers, permaculture practitioners aim link the different components of each system together, in ecologically sensible ways, to achieve high yields for low inputs while actually building fertility over successive seasons.
For some, permaculture means a backyard garden that for relatively little work supplies an abundance of organically produced food all year round. For others, permaculture means a drought and flood-proof rural property ensuring food, water and energy security into the coming decades.
The term permaculture was coined in the seventies by Australians Bill Mollison and David Holmgren (the latter whom we visit in our Permaculture Design Certificate courses). Since then, it has become a global movement providing design solutions for every climate, landscape and culture imaginable. Permaculture is every bit as relevant to designing a vibrant, productive and truly sustainable edible garden in the Melbourne suburbs – check out this article by Dan for a few examples or our permaculture design consultancy services if you’d like us to visit.
As a comprehensive system integrating modern science and traditional sustainable agricultural techniques from cultures the world over, and weaving these into a set of ethics and principles that apply any where at any scale, permaculture is hard to get across briefly. It’s at once a sustainable design system, a set of worldviews, a way of living — and it’s a worldwide movement of people that practice these things.
To get a better feel for what it’s all about, come along to one of our workshops or if you’re ready to get serious, our Permaculture Design Certificate course. Be warned, for a lot of people (all of us included), learning about permaculture can be life-changing. It can fill you with an optimism about the future you didn’t know you had, and an unstoppable energy to get things happening on the ground! | 2019-04-25T00:03:57Z | https://www.veryediblegardens.com.au/iveg/permaculture/ |
Houston Technology Center alum, Xenex Disinfection Services, a healthcare company that raised $38 million in February, is now selling a new device for its machine that rids hospital rooms of infection-causing bacteria and viruses: a portable “pod” in which equipment can be disinfected.
Xenex’s primary product is a technology called the LightStrike Robot that uses pulses of ultraviolet light to destroy the viruses and bacteria in an entire hospital room, preventing potentially deadly infections like C.Diff and MRSA. The company’s new device is meant to clean other objects that frequently move around the hospital, such as wheelchairs, ventilators, mobile workstations, and other tools. They’re placed inside the Xenex pod along with the company’s robot. The pod looks like a collapsible tent and is lined with a reflective interior, which ensures that the entirety of the object is disinfected, Xenex says.
Xenex had the pods made by Los Angeles-based Mintie Technologies, a company that sells dozens of similar environmental services products. Each pod sells for $25,000, while the Xenex robot goes for $125,000. Xenex says the cost of treating a single infection acquired at a hospital can cost $10,000 to $50,000, so preventing a couple of potential contamination sites can pay for the cost of the technology.
Since its founding in 2009, Xenex has raised $94 million, including the $38 million round led by Essex Woodlands, a healthcare-focused investment fund with offices in Palo Alto, CA, Houston, New York, and London. | 2019-04-23T20:05:09Z | https://www.houstontech.org/latest_news/htc-grad-xenex-debuts-hospital-cleaning-pod-adding-38m/ |
Come St. Patrick’s Day, year after year, bars and restaurants across the country pour out countless pints of green beer to serve to drunken revelers. In fact, data from restaurant management platform Upserve show that St. Patrick’s Day historically contributes to some of the year’s highest beer sales. That’s all well and good (turns out that, year after year, there’s a strangely huge market for pitchers of toxic-looking green suds), but we decided to check in with some restaurants that have found more creative ways to bring in customers this St. Paddy’s. From naturally green beer to innovative takes on St. Paddy’s-inspired fare, these eateries are monetizing the holiday to make some serious green.
Famed steakhouse Smith & Wollensky will be celebrating with special Steak & Whiskey Event, taking place now through St. Patrick’s Day weekend, serving up a whiskey-infused dry-aged steak paired with whiskey.
In Denver, Tamayo is putting an Irish spin on their tacos to bring in guests on what would typically be a slow day for a Mexican eatery.
Festive desserts rule in Chi-town, where Public House will serve a seasonal version of their popular Cake Shake, the Patty Cake Shake. The Instagram-worthy treat is made of beer, cake, ice cream, marshmallows and more.
Finally, San Diego’s Japanese spot Tajima is offering a special green-tinted Matcha-Hi drink to celebrate. The cocktail consists of Iichiko Shochu sake and iced green tea, a healthy, tasty alternative to green beer. “In creating the Matcha-Hi cocktail, the Tajima team wanted to incorporate trendy matcha tea while also offering customers an out-of-the-ordinary festive beverage. We wanted to stay true to our Japanese roots by coming up with a green sake-based drink that would make people say, ‘I’ve got to try that,’” says owner Isamu Morikizono. | 2019-04-20T12:16:51Z | https://upserve.com/restaurant-insider/the-st-patricks-day-menu-inspiration-you-need-for-your-restaurant/ |
Beware: Betaling Google Chrome is Malware!
First off, a quick translation: “betaling” means “payment” in Dutch, so when an app with the name “Betaling – Google Chrome.exe” shows up on the desktop of a Windows user, it’s not entirely unreasonable that they would click on it, thinking that it might be a secure version of Google Chrome that they’ve somehow downloaded. That’s a plus, right? A more secure version of the popular Web browser.
Once you launch it, though, the program pops up an error message telling you that your version of the .NET framework is out of date and that you need to upgrade it. Again, seems reasonable on the surface, because if you are getting a brand new browser, you surely need a brand new version of the .NET framework that underlies the entire Microsoft Windows system. Indeed, it’s exactly that plausibility that makes this such a dangerous malware program.
Now savvy Windows users will look at this window and frown: The latest version of the .NET framework is actually 4.6.2, according to Microsoft itself. But seriously, who checks?
Looks completely legit, doesn’t it? And € 0.50 = $0.53 so it might be a bit weird to pay a tiny amount to get the necessary upgrade but, hey, it’s $0.53, why not just enter the data and proceed?
That translates roughly into “unfortunately your details are not properly filled in, please try again.” SO you do. And you enter a valid credit card. And they’ve just charged you not for $0.53 (or € 0.50) but $250 or $500 or more, or even just saved your credit card data to sell on the darknet for a tidy sum.
So be smart, whether you see this exact prompt or something similar: Don’t accept downloads from unknown sources, don’t click on files that “just appear” on your desktop and never, ever enter your payment information to a page or program that seems even the tiniest bit suspect.

Registered Owner: HP Shipping Ltd - UK - Operator: Hebridean Island Cruises - UK - an All Leisure Group comp.
April 09-2009 Hebridean Island Cruises has filed for administration. The Hebridean Spirit has been loss making for some time and although it has now been sold it has impacted on the funding of the remaining group. This means that unfortunately the company that owns the Hebridean Princess has filed for administration.
April 22 -2009 All Leisure group plc, which operates Swan Hellenic and Voyages of Discovery, is pleased to announce that it has purchased the unique small cruise ship, Hebridean Princess. All Leisure group plc is keen to ensure that the Hebridean Princess will continue to offer distinctive cruises around the Scottish Highlands and islands and through the Norwegian fjords and will continue to operate from its head office in Skipton.
All Leisure Holidays Ltd has entered into an agreement for the sale and leaseback of the Hebridean Princess cruise vessel and certain related assets to HP Shipping for GBP2.9 million in cash. HP Shipping is a new company which is wholly owned by a syndicate of private investors, including Roger Allard.
March 2010 - The work, undertaken at the Middlesbrough yard of A&P Tees, was the final part of a four-year programme to ensure the 1964-built Hebridean Island Cruises vessel complies fully with new design and construction regulations coming into force later this year. In addition, many public areas were refreshed with new carpets, upholstery, furniture and lighting in lounges and new carpets, bulkheads and deckheads in most of the passenger alleyways.
The Tiree Lounge, Library, Conservatory, Look Out Lounge and Columba Restaurant all received attention with the lounges having been totally refurbished. In other work, the engines and auxillary engines underwent a full overhaul, the teak decks received attention and crew accommodation was upgraded. The hull colour has been returned to the traditional dark blue after spending last year in a different livery.
Former name: Ferry Columba converted to cruiseship in 1989. | 2019-04-20T03:27:17Z | http://www.nedcruise.info/hebridean_princess.htm |
A former US Foreign Service employee reveals the scale of the destruction of ancient artifacts in Iraq during the occupation of the country.
As Iraqi officials are estimating the extent of the damage done by the Islamic State militants to one of the country's UNESCO World Heritage Sites, the ancient city of Hatra, a former US Foreign Service employee, Peter van Buren, has revealed that the US Army also wrought a lot of damage to some of the country’s historical landmarks.
On Saturday, Islamic State militants started destroying the 2,200-year-old site, having looted all of the ancient gold and silver coins that had been preserved.
Several days earlier, the Iraqi government said that ISIL fighters had attacked the ancient Assyrian city of Nimrud in northern Iraq and bulldozed it with trucks.
But as it turns out, the ISIL fighters are not the only ones who damaged sites in the Tigris and Euphrates valleys.
A former US Foreign Service employee, Peter van Buren, who was embedded with the US Army in Iraq in 2009, has revealed that the US also contributed to the destruction of ancient places.
“The scale and intent were obviously different from what the Islamic State is doing, but a loss is a loss, in big bites or small ones,” he adds.
Peter van Buren also wrote about how the country’s ancient villages, which he calls “tells”, attracted the US soldiers, who would sometimes drive their military SUVs there, doing “donuts” and enjoying kicking up dust plumes.
On Monday, UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon called the reported destruction of Hatra by Islamic State extremists a war crime, and called on the international community to protect cultural artifacts.
But nobody so far commented on the leftovers from the US Army. Baghdad's Iraqi Museum was plundered in 2003 shortly after the city capitulated to American troops, prompting widespread censure that nobody had taken steps to protect its world-class collection of Sumerian and Babylonian artifacts.
The museum, which re-opened several weeks ago, estimates that approximately 15,000 items were taken in the chaos. Only one-third have been recovered. | 2019-04-19T02:33:34Z | https://sputniknews.com/middleeast/201503111019334234/ |

Cincinnati-based Mercy Health launched a GPS-style app at The Jewish Hospital, also in Cincinnati.
The indoor navigation solution, called the "Right This Way" app, runs on Connexient's MediNav platform. The app aims to help patients and visitors find their way around the hospital with campuswide maps and turn-by-turn directions.
"We're always looking to improve the experience of both our patients and visitors," said Pat Davis-Hagens, president and CEO of Mercy Health Central Market. "We launched the app to guide you to the department or room you want to visit, remember where you parked and help reduce missed or late appointments."
The app is available on smartphones, Mercy Health's website and kiosks in The Jewish Hospital. | 2019-04-20T10:57:00Z | https://www.beckershospitalreview.com/healthcare-information-technology/mercy-health-deploys-indoor-gps-at-cincinnati-hospital.html?tmpl=component&print=1&layout=default |
