When Wendy walked into the pop-up healing center on December 23, 2012, despite the horror of the recent school shootings in Newtown, she felt she was walking into “a calm healing presence.” There was a Christmas tree and children were playing with an art therapist. The space was quiet and peaceful and permeated by an unexpected sense of joy.
Wendy learned about SHHP from its founder, Heather Gunn. Wendy and Heather had recently learned to practice Reiki together.
It was at the JCC events, Wendy said, that she learned skills of practicing with the public that were invaluable to her experience in Newtown, such as how to speak to clients, how to be nonjudgmental and respect their space, how to stay conscientious of their comfort, how to protect the client’s experience and not engage in unnecessary conversation.
Profound healing in silence
Wendy sensed that the community was a family, and the practitioners could easily feel like intruders. She understood it was important to be very respectful and gentle.
At SHHP, the Reiki practitioners could be flexible about the length of each session. Wendy let the sessions time themselves, usually between 20 and 40 minutes.
Other than their names, no questions were asked of those who came for healing, and the treatments were generally given in silence. Sometimes clients spontaneously shared details of their Reiki experience afterward. Wendy was in awe of what she heard, but understood it was for her to simply witness and not comment.
One woman got on the table nearly overcome with grief. Offering this treatment was an especially profound experience for Wendy.
Afterwards, the client asked directly if Wendy had experienced anything. Wendy turned it back to her, saying the session was for the woman, not the practitioner. When Wendy added gently that she felt a lot of love in the room, the woman started crying. She had had a prior trauma that was reactivated by the shootings, and as can happen with trauma victims, she had been haunted by guilt, even though she had no control over what had happened. Wendy brought her to one of the grief counselors specifically trained in trauma support.
Reiki treatment for the children
The second weekend she was there, Wendy offered Reiki treatment to a number of children between the ages of 9 and 16. She knew they had all been touched by this tragedy in some way, and noticed they seemed quieter than the adults.
The children responded quickly to their Reiki treatment, becoming very relaxed, and offering Wendy warm hugs afterward.
A teen who had lost a friend found such comfort in her treatment that she returned the next day with members of her family. Like the teen, her family felt deeply supported, and were grateful she had brought them.
Two boys a few years apart in age came for treatment. The younger was nine. They seemed a miss match as friends, but it was obvious they cared deeply for one another.
The older boy received his treatment first, then asked to stay in the room, wanting to make sure his friend also had a good experience. Wendy was touched by the tenderness of their interaction, simple things that showed such awareness. When the younger boy took off his glasses, his friend reached for them, saying, “I’ll keep them for you.”
Each of the people Wendy treated wanted to come back for more. They said their Reiki session was the one thing that gave them peace even for a short time, and many felt Reiki should be a requirement for everyone in town.
People felt the quiet joy Wendy sensed when she first arrived, and that led to a general feeling of not wanting to leave. Everyone wanted to stay, just to be together in a healing environment. Even Wendy’s husband decided to come in when he dropped her off. She said, “He sat and spoke with people and like everyone else, he didn’t want to leave.”
Wendy found her time at SHHP to be “full of goodness, quiet and peace.” She said, “The time was almost as if there was no time.”
When asked what she came away with, Wendy said the experience “showed me a lot about my practice and how I practice on myself, that the main thing is for me to step away from myself and just practice, to let Reiki practice do what Reiki practice does.” She said that seeing how people who didn’t know about Reiki came away with such peace helped her.
In her time at the center, Wendy came to realize that the community had gathered to heal itself, in the space provided by the Sandy Hook Healing Project, and the practitioners were simply facilitators in the community’s own healing process.

Federal police have stopped boarding at part of the airport’s Terminal 1 and were evacuating part of the security area.
A spokesman said they believe an unauthorised person with a child passed through the security area and disappeared. “We are still searching for them,” the spokesman said.
Passengers described scenes of “confusion” as they were evacuated from the terminal.

Munny Medal Quests – When You Can Unlock Them for Free
Right now Kingdom Hearts Unchained X allows you to pay to unlock Munny Medal Quests, but they also unlock for free in 30 minute blocks at various times each day.
As best as I can tell, the unlock times are 9:00 am PST, 1:00 pm PST and 9:00 PST (please leave a comment if your experience is different).
If the app is open at that time, that’s when your 30 minute countdown will start, even if you’re not actively playing. HOWEVER, if the game is not open, the quest countdown will start the next time you open the app. Therefore, don’t worry if it’s 10:00 am and you think you’ve missed your time slot. As long as you’re opening the app for the first time within that unlock period, you’ll get your full 30 minutes. Be aware though that it seems the option does go away after an hour or two, at least for the one at night.
Bonus Trick: If you don’t have enough API to complete an unlocked quest, simply select that quest but don’t click Begin. Press home to return to your main phone screen (no need to leave the app open) and reopen the app once enough time has passed for your API to have restored itself. Even though there will be 0 minutes left in the unlocked quest, you’ll still be able to do one more quest as long as you don’t leave that questing screen.

Less than a year after announcing the beta release of Steam for Linux, Valve unveiled plans for Linux-based SteamOS and Steam Machine beta hardware. So far, we've seen plenty of buzz, but we can't actually install the new operating system or get our hands on the hardware. Will the Steam releases live up to the hype?
Gartner Research has its own methodology for predicting the maturity and adoption of technologies, called the Hype Cycle. With SteamOS and the Steam Machine, we saw the “technology trigger” in September, when Valve announced the upcoming releases and the tech media ran with the story. During the technology trigger part of the cycle, “Often no usable products exist and commercial viability is unproven.” Next, in Gartner-speak, comes a peak of inflated expectations, trough of disillusionment, slope of enlightenment, and plateau of productivity.
Without a usable product, we're still stuck in the technology trigger part of the cycle, but we can make predictions. Then, later, we can gloat that we made a good call or cringe because we were so far off the mark. Four brave experts weigh in with early predictions for SteamOS and the Steam Machine – and they certainly do not agree with one another.
SteamOS users will live in Linux rooms.
“I think SteamOS has a real chance to put Linux in hundreds of millions of living rooms,” says veteran tech journalist Steven Vaughan-Nichols. But then he points out that Linux is already in the living room, in TiVos, DVRs, and Internet-enabled DVD players and smart TVs. “Like these devices, SteamOS devices such as the Steam Box will keep bringing Linux to the masses even as they continue under the delusion that they can't use Linux,” Vaughan-Nichols says.
With Valve's SteamOS, consumers will realize that they are using Linux, he asserts. “Valve is making a point of letting people know that it's Linux under the hood,” Vaughan-Nichols explains, “And perhaps that will help people realize that they're already living in a Linux room.”
No, SteamOS users won't know they are using Linux.
“Obviously this is entirely speculative since we haven't seen screenshots yet, but I'm imagining an interface closer to a gaming console or Roku-type box than a GNOME or KDE desktop that a Linux user would point at and call 'Linux,'” predicts Ruth Suehle, Community Marketing Manager at Red Hat. “And in that scenario, it's just another invisible Linux, like so many others that we interact with. It won't be Linux; it'll be SteamOS.”
Suehle says that if her design prediction is right, she doesn't predict a lot of SteamOS users who aren't already running Linux to ditch their MacBooks, either. “I've long argued that there was a good market for gaming on Linux, as evidenced by things like what happened when World of Goo was released for Linux and the fact that in the release of every Humble Indie Bundle, the Linux users pay more every single time,” Suehle says, “But now that we've had the Linux Steam client for eight months, it still accounts for only about one percent of Steam users.”
This doesn't fill her with hope that a flood of Steam lovers will run to SteamOS. Still, she's excited about the new Linux-based operating system. “I'm always happy for anything that will put FOSS in more hands,” Suehle says.
Steam Machines won't be a game console changer.
“I believe that Steam Machine can become a second choice entertainment center for some console owners,” says Trevor Longino, head of PR and marketing at GOG.com, a website that sells DRM-free copies of older games. “However, I highly doubt it will make many PC users leave the devices they already own, forget about their computer screens only to switch to a couch in front of the TV.”
Longino says that the success of SteamOS and the Steam Machines depends on console converts and their willingness to switch. The Linux community is too small to make a worldwide shift, but Valve could fine-tune SteamOS to provide an alternative to available consoles. Still, Longino says, it makes sense for Steam to challenge consoles. “They brought huge changes to the PC market since they launched, and they're almost certainly looking to try and do the same in consoles.”
Ruth Suehle plans to get a Steam Machine, but she also has a Roku, Boxee Box, PS3, Wii, SmartStick, and an Apple TV. And she recently set up XBMC on a Raspberry Pi. “One aspect I am less certain on, as I'm pretty much a console-only kind of gal when it comes to gaming, largely due to that whole lack of Linux support thing, is the way in which consoles 'outlast' PC gaming,” Suehle says. “PC games are designed at a point in time for people whose hardware may be a day old or a year old or more, which I believe leads to some of the pain in PC gaming. In contrast, console games are designed for that specific piece of hardware. I'm not sure where SteamOS and the Steam Box are going to fall on that spectrum, which could also make a difference.”
Security will be a problem.
“When we look at SteamOS, one thing that's not getting a lot of attention is that this can be an attractive target for hackers and attackers,” says Christopher Budd, Threat Communications Manager at Trend Micro, a cloud security provider. Budd says that there hasn't been much discussion about how secure SteamOS will be, but the 2011 attack on the Sony PlayStation Network shows that gaming platforms are a viable target.
SteamOS is built on Linux, but Budd notes that this is only a small part of the security puzzle. Security holes found in the Linux components (for example, Linux kernel vulnerabilities) in SteamOS will need to be addressed, but Budd says that a bigger question is how Valve plans to secure its gaming applications and its network. “How are they going to handle security updates — including for Linux vulnerabilities — to the consoles?” Budd asks. “Assuming their gaming network is going to be a closed system for security reasons, how are they going to ensure that people can't alter the consoles in a way that gives them access to the gaming network in a way that gives access to account information?”
Budd points out that Xbox 360 and Xbox Live network have dedicated security teams to ensure the integrity of the gaming network. “Sony does the same, especially after rebuilding their PlayStation Network after the breach two years ago,” he says, adding, “Building a new gaming console platform and a new gaming network creates a new target for attackers.”
What are your predictions about SteamOS and the Steam Machine? Let us know in the comments.

GrassMaster gets set to take centerstage at the 2018 FIFA World Cup Russia™
As Russia prepares to host the 21st FIFA World Cup from June 14 to July 15, GrassMaster by Tarkett Sports will also be present at this elite-level tournament. The pioneers of hybrid grass were already part of the game in the last two FIFA World Cups: Brazil in 2014 and South Africa in 2010. Launching a new tradition.
Sixteen 2018 FIFA World Cup Russia™ games in total will be played on GrassMaster. The stadiums Volgograd Arena, Kazan Arena and Nizhny Novgorod Stadium all have a brand new GrassMaster pitch installed.
Kazan Arena will host six games between June 16 and July 7. France vs Australia will be the first fixture of the World Cup to be played on GrassMaster. Four games during the group’s stage will be played in Kazan, as well a Round of 16 game and a quarter final.
At the Volgograd Arena, four games will be played, starting with Tunisia vs England on June 18. Also on that date, the Nizhny Novgorod Stadium opens its doors with the first game of Group F, with Sweden vs Korea Republic. This stadium will host four group stage matches, a Round of 16 game and a quarter final.
With six games being played over a three week period in the Kazan Arena, four matches in Volgograd Stadium in ten days and six duels in two and a half weeks in Nizhny Novgorod Stadium, GrassMaster proves once again to be the trusted partner for top-level tournaments.
Yves de Cocker, Director at GrassMaster, said:
Thanks to the unique technology of GrassMaster, a higher player safety and faster surface recovery is provided, so neither players, fans nor organisation suffer from loss of quality on the pitch.
We stand for a perfect pitch anywhere and anytime, and with a lifespan of up to fifteen years, these GrassMaster pitches will leave a legacy for the Russian teams, communities and for the venues.
Furthermore, the CSKA training pitch in Moscow will be used by the German football team and the training pitch of FC Rubin Kazan is going to be used by Japan for training sessions throughout their stay at the 2018 FIFA World Cup. On both pitches, the premium hybrid turf system GrassMaster is applied.
Installation and maintenance
In terms of the installation process and ongoing maintenance, de Cocker said:
Our Russian partner, InSport Pro Co, installed GrassMaster in the Kazan Arena and the CSKA stadium in Moscow. Additionally they are responsible for the maintenance of the pitches.
Andrey Kanunnikov, Managing Director of InSport Pro Co, advised:
Both the German and Japanese teams recently visited their training grounds and were satisfied with the pitches we’ve prepared for them.
Our installation partner for the Volgograd and Nizny Novgorod stadiums is Golftechnology. Further, we could count on Charles Henderson of PSD/Labosport Group as pitch consultant.
Pioneers of hybrid grass since 1989
GrassMaster Solutions’ expertise and experience of nearly 30 years has been used on more than 700 pitches worldwide.
The GrassMaster system, with a proven lifespan of 15 years and more, is a 100 % natural grass pitch reinforced by 20 million high performance fibres. These polypropylene fibres are injected by computer-controlled machines, 18cm deep and 2cm above the surface, in a grid of +/- 2 x 2cm. The natural grass roots entwine with the fibres and grow deeper and wider, building a stronger and healthier rootzone. The PP fibres above the surface ensure an always even and stable surface.
GrassMaster Solutions is the hybrid grass division of Tarkett Sports which is part of the Tarkett Group, a worldwide leader of innovative and sustainable flooring and sports surface solutions. Tarkett has one of the broadest global reaches of any flooring company in the world.

Objective: To assess the acceptability and feasibility of offering rapid HIV tests to patients registering with primary care in London, UK.
Methods: All Anglophone and Francophone patients aged between 18 and 55 years attending a large inner city general practice in London for a new patient health check were recruited. All eligible patients were offered a rapid HIV test on oral fluid and asked to participate in a qualitative interview. The uptake of rapid HIV testing among participants was measured and semistructured interviews were carried out focusing on the advantages and disadvantages of testing for HIV in primary care.
Results: 111 people attended the health check, of whom 85 were eligible, 47 took part in the study and 20 completed qualitative interviews. Nearly half of eligible participants (38/85, 45%) accepted a rapid HIV test. The main reason for accepting a test was because it was offered as “part of a check up”. As a combined group, black African and black Caribbean patients were more likely to test in the study compared with patients from other ethnic backgrounds (p = 0.014). Participants in the qualitative interviews felt that having rapid HIV tests available in general practice was acceptable but expressed concerns about support for the newly diagnosed.
Conclusions: Offering patients a rapid HIV test in primary care is feasible and could be an effective means to increase testing rates in this setting. A larger descriptive study or pragmatic trial is needed to determine whether this strategy could increase timely diagnosis and reduce the proportion of undiagnosed HIV infections in the UK.

**Today’s guest post is from fellow Catholic Exchange contributor Matthew Chicoine.
American founding father Benjamin Franklin said, “Diligence overcomes difficulties; sloth makes them.” Laziness not only creates problems, but also worsens them. Procrastination, a cousin of laziness, is the particular type of sloth that haunts me. I make excuses to explain and justify my laziness. “I am too tired.” or “The kids drove me crazy. I just need to de-stress by watching T.V.” or “I exercised yesterday so I can take the day off today!” The list goes on and on.
Fatigue definitely leads to sloth. Another cause is pride. My hubris leads me to believe I don’t need to take action as promptly as possible. Oftentimes, this is the case when my wife asks me to accomplish a task or schedule an important appointment. Connected closely with physical laziness is spiritual sloth. After the intensity of Lent and the joy of the Easter season wears off, I always seem to be lagging behind my prayer life around the feast of Pentecost. This article will focus on three strategies to overcome spiritual sloth and renew your prayer life.
According to Proverbs 12:24, “Work hard and become a leader; be lazy and become a slave.” Exercise helps bring me out of a sluggish slump. Simply, holding myself accountable by going for a 3 mile run or bike ride provides me energy. The same is true with our spiritual life.
A simple way to break out of your spiritual slump is to pray. Prayer is just a two-way conservation with God. If you don’t know how to start don’t worry! Communication with God need not be complicated. Just ask for strength. Tell Him your struggles. If you are still need direction on how to start praying look to St. Josemaria Esciva. The Spanish priest wrote, “The holy Rosary is a powerful weapon. Use it with confidence and you’ll be amazed at the results.” Another creative method to pray would be to pray while exercising! Ask the Holy Spirit for the mettle to make it that next mile or rep.
Another tactic to dispel spiritual sloth is seeking guidance from the saints and/or a spiritual director. Because of the busyness of my schedule, I personally don’t have time for a formal spiritual director. I enjoy reading the Bible or spiritual writing of a saint. St. Vincent de Paul puts it plainly, “Read some chapter of a devout book….It is very easy and most necessary, for just as you speak to God when at prayer, God speaks to you when you read.” Reading only a few pages a day will definitely prove fruitful—the key is consistency. Digest this guidance daily bit by bit.
Frequent the Sacraments
A third way to defeat spiritual sloth is something Catholic already are supposed to partake in—the sacraments. According to the Catechism of the Catholic Church paragraph 1210,
Christ instituted the sacraments of the new law. There are seven: Baptism, Confirmation (or Chrismation), the Eucharist, Penance, the Anointing of the Sick, Holy Orders and Matrimony. The seven sacraments touch all the stages and all the important moments of Christian life:1 they give birth and increase, healing and mission to the Christian’s life of faith. There is thus a certain resemblance between the stages of natural life and the stages of the spiritual life.
At a bare minimum Catholics attend Mass weekly. There the faithful receives the body, blood, soul, and divinity of Jesus Christ as nourishment to sustain them for the week. During our journey on earth we fall into sin—marring our soul. Both physical and spiritual damage requires proper healing in order to avoid future decay. The sacrament of Confession restores us back into communion with God and our neighbors.
St. John Paul II declares in his Apostolic Exhortation Reconciliation and Penance, “To acknowledge one’s sin, indeed-penetrating still more deeply into the consideration of one’s own personhood-to recognize oneself as being a sinner, capable of sin and inclined to commit sin, is the essential first step in returning to God” (no. 13). Being forgiven from your sins elicits a freedom. We become freer to choose God’s will over our selfish desires after receiving the sacramental graces of Penance.
If you are struggling with spiritual sloth do not despair. Ask God for help and aid will be given to you. Frequent prayer leads to greater stamina during the dry times of our spiritual journey. Look to the writing of the saints for guidance and receive the sacraments, especially Eucharist and Confession. These three tactics are simple ways to defend against and defeat spiritual sloth. The most difficult part of any exercise is to start. Take that first step and begin renew your spiritual journey today!

CTB vs UL Dream11 Prediction
CTB vs UL Dream11 Outfielders
A new match has seen me following a new order, i.e., include their topmost outfielders. Therefore, I have picked Lions’ S. Chih-Chieh and L. An-Ko. It is worth mentioning that both the players have been nominated as captain and vice-captain respectively due to their performances.
As far as the other team is concerned, I have picked a long outfielder from their team in C. Chih-Hao.
CTB vs UL Dream11 Infielders
Lions’ K. Fu Lin and C. Yung-Chi will take care of this department. The best part about making a fantasy team for this match is that you don’t have to spend plentiful credits on one player.
With same number of points under their belt this season, I have decided to incorporate the same number of players from both the sides especially when it comes to the the infielders. Hence, the remaining two players in this category have been filed by C. Kun-Yu and C. Yung-Chi.
CTB vs UL Dream11 Pitcher
There is no going into a safe house regarding the fact that A. Miranda is a top pitcher and that his rich returns might help you in the morning. In the three matches that he has played, he has returned with scores of 12, 17 and “”IP”, “SO” and “H”.
CTB vs UL Dream11 Catcher
K. Yu-Chieh, who costs me a paltry 5.5 credits, has made it into my team on the back of finding the right balance regarding my team.

If they have violated an international treaty or desecrated a cherished national symbol, Michigan undergraduates Nate Janes and James Giardina aren't aware of it. So far the four-by-six-foot blue-and-maize Canadian maple leaf flag the two friends hold up every time 6' 6" guard Nik Stauskas makes a three "or does something cool," says Giardina, has drawn nothing but praise, TV airtime and requests for photographs. One such request came from Stauskas's parents, Paul and Ruta, who have driven four hours from their home in Mississauga, Ont., to several Wolverines home games.
"We really liked Nik's character on the court and all the things he could do," Janes says to explain why he and Giardina became groupies of the freshman sharpshooter who averaged 11.6 points a game and hit 46.0% from beyond the arc during the regular season. "Plus, the fact that he's Canadian is unique."
Actually, it's not as unusual as Janes thinks. Not this year. One of the most surprising aspects of a wildly unpredictable season has been the emergence of stars—plural—from a country that has produced only three All-NBA team selections and two MVPs in the league's 67-year history: all of them named Steve Nash.
The country's slim record of hoops distinction is about to expand. The best player on the No. 1 team in the country—Gonzaga's 7-foot junior center, Kelly Olynyk—is Canadian. So is the Zags' 6'1" sophomore point guard, Kevin Pangos. UNLV's front line is two thirds Canuck: Anthony Bennett, a versatile and explosive 6'8", 240-pound freshman forward who is projected to be a top six draft pick this summer, was raised in Toronto, while 6'9", 220-pound sophomore center Khem Birch hails from Montreal. Junior Cadougan, the 6'1" senior point guard at No. 12--ranked Marquette, is another Toronto native. Of the 88 Canadians who played D-I ball this season, those five (and Stauskas) are expected to have the biggest impact on the 2013 NCAA tournament.
Canada Basketball CEO Wayne Parrish calls the recent upsurge in homegrown talent "a tremendous moment," which he hopes to parlay into sustained success on the international stage. To that end, Parrish has brought in Nash as general manager of the national team and former Raptors coach Jay Triano as coach, and he has tripled the team's $400,000 budget by securing donations from business leaders. It has been nearly 80 years since Canada reached the Olympic podium in basketball, a woeful gap considering that the game's inventor, James Naismith, was born in Almonte, Ont. But the state of hoops north of the border has improved markedly since 1992, when Nash, then a high school senior in Victoria, B.C., had to beg U.S. college coaches to look at his grainy highlight tape.
According to a 2006 study by a Canadian research group, soccer and basketball are the fastest growing sports in the country. One big catalyst for this change, says Leo Rautins, the former Syracuse star who in 1983 became the first Canadian to be drafted in the NBA's first round, was the arrival of the NBA in Toronto—and, however briefly, in Vancouver—in the mid-'90s. "Now you're seeing the kids who grew up with the NBA in their backyard," says Rautins, who served as Canada's national team coach from 2005 to '11. "I can remember flying into Toronto pre-NBA and looking down into driveways and seeing no hoops anywhere. Now you can see a basket on every garage."
Elite players have been nurtured by Canadian club teams that ferry kids across the border for Stateside competition and by U.S. prep schools that offer Canadian students the kind of high-level competition they can't find at home. Of the eight Canadians playing in the NBA this season, five were drafted in the last two years, including three first-rounders: Cavaliers forward Tristan Thompson and Spurs guard Cory Joseph (2011) and Magic forward Andrew Nicholson (2012). Two college players—Bennett and Olynyk—are first-round possibilities this year, and Andrew Wiggins, a Toronto native in his senior year of high school at Huntington (W.Va.) Prep, is widely considered a lock for the top pick in 2014.
"Guys are now seeing what it takes to play [at the highest] level and not accepting that we're not a basketball country," says Pangos. "You see guys like Tristan and Cory make it to the NBA, and now that's the goal instead of just making it to the NCAA."
Gonzaga coach Mark Few, in fact, no longer sees Canada as a separate basketball country. "Canadians are such a part of the American system now," he says. "They are spending two or three years at [Nevada's] Findlay Prep or Huntington Prep, and they are on CIA Bounce [the top Canadian AAU program] all summer." Compared with players from countries outside North America, Few adds, "they have zero transition to make."
Olynyk might disagree. Growing up in Ontario and British Columbia with parents who worked in basketball, he always had a strong grasp of the game. His mom, Arlene, was a university-level referee who served as a scorekeeper in the NBA when she worked for the Raptors from 1995 to 2004. His dad, Ken, now the athletic director at Thompson Rivers University in Kamloops, B.C., coached the University of Toronto men's team from 1989 to 2002 and the Canadian junior national team from '83 to '96, during which time he guaranteed himself a least a footnote in the country's history by becoming the last coach to cut Steve Nash. ("I do have that dubious honor," says Ken, laughing. "Steve was still in high school in B.C., the team was in Alberta, and the junior national team already had a strong backcourt. He's never held it against me.") So unlike many Canadians currently playing in D-I, Kelly Olynyk stayed home for high school, getting exposure to U.S. coaches at summer camps and national team tournaments. He played mostly point guard for his youth, provincial and South Kamloops High teams, even after a seven-inch growth spurt in 11th grade took him to 6' 10".
At Gonzaga, where Olynyk would grow two more inches, topping out at 7 feet, he was expected to play in the post. "I had never done it," he says. "It was like telling a quarterback to go kick a field goal." In his first two years his body couldn't keep up with his intentions. "Fifty percent of his drives would end up as charges," says Few.
After two frustrating years playing behind fellow Canadian Robert Sacre (who was drafted by the Lakers in the second round last summer) and producing just 4.8 points in 12.9 minutes a game, Olynyk took a mid-career redshirt year to strengthen his body and learn to think like a post player. It was a characteristically offbeat decision: Olynyk is given to vibrantly colored and often mismatched outfits, and his signature 'do hangs long and straight in the style of Spanish soccer star Sergio Ramos, circa 2011.
As a redshirt Olynyk spent hours with trainer Travis Knight, lifting weights to exhaustion, working on his balance, and doing hand-eye coordination drills with tennis balls that were designed to take his mental processing "from dial-up to broadband," says Knight. The plan worked brilliantly. "In practice he was dominating," says Few. "We could see what was coming."
This year, the 238-pound Olynyk is a strong, agile and versatile post player who is averaging seven rebounds, 1.2 blocks and 17.3 points on 65.5% shooting, including 37.5% from behind the three-point line, in less than 26 minutes a game. That makes him the most efficient high-usage player in the nation. Olynyk's transformation has moved him from high-potential scrub to West Coast Conference player of the year and elevated Gonzaga from a very good team to a national title contender. "What I have now [in Olynyk] is a guy I trust," says Few. "He's a guy we can pitch the ball to, who can make free throws at the end of games, who I can put on their best big guy or switch onto a guard at the end of a game because he's smart. He brings a lot of different things that you don't face with a traditional big."
Another linchpin of Gonzaga's success is Pangos, who was also born into a basketball family. His mom, Patty, played at McMaster University in Hamilton, Ont., and his dad, Bill, just finished his 26th year as the women's coach at Toronto's York University, where years ago he coached games that Arlene Olynyk refereed. ("Basketball is a small world up here," says Bill.) Kevin played hockey, soccer, volleyball and badminton before giving them up midway through high school to focus on basketball. Like Olynyk, Pangos didn't play a lot of club ball or go to a U.S. prep school. But at 16 he became the youngest player to suit up for the Canadian senior national team. At training camps he paid special attention to stories about Nash, the player after whom he modeled himself. "Someone would say, 'Steve Nash would make 500 shots a day,'" says Pangos. "I figured I had to make 500 shots a day."
To that end he would find a gym to shoot with his dad, or he'd move a portable basket into position under a light on his street, securing it with a pile of bricks. Then he'd mark off the foul line and the three-point line (high school, then international, then NBA) with duct tape. He'd shoot for hours—or until 10:30 p.m., when Patty insisted he come inside so the neighbors could sleep. "I took a different path: I did a lot of my training and skill development on my own," Pangos says.
When Trey Burke took the scholarship Michigan had offered to both him and Pangos on a first-come, first-served basis, Pangos, who had heard rave reviews about Gonzaga from the Olynyks, signed with Few. As a freshman Pangos led the team in scoring (13.6 ppg) and assists (3.4) to earn WCC newcomer of the year honors. "He was supposed to hit a freshman wall," says Few. "He never did."
With the emergence of Olynyk and senior forward Elias Harris (14.8 ppg), Pangos has a lighter scoring load this year (11.8 ppg through Sunday), though he has sharpened his three-point shooting (to 42.7% from 40.1%) and his assists-to-turnovers ratio (to 2.29 from 1.85). "He's very meticulous about everything he works on," says Few. "If you say, 'I'd like to see you do this a little bit better,' he's in the gym, working on runners, working on his left hand."
Stauskas can relate to Pangos's gym-rat wiring. Indeed, he's partly responsible for it. For years the two attended the same basketball camp near Toronto. When the other boys took a break from the hardwood to swim or sail, Stauskas and Pangos stayed in the gym, going one-on-one. Stauskas had fallen hard for the game at age nine, when he was pulled out of the crowd at a Raptors open practice to play a shooting game with Vince Carter. "I made a free throw and a three-pointer," says Stauskas. "[Carter] ended up winning the game, but that was the moment when I thought, Wow, I really want to do this with my life." He became so single-minded that, according to Michigan coach John Beilein, "he doesn't know anything about hockey, he doesn't know anything about football. The other day we had him try to throw a baseball pass as a press breaker. And he had never thrown a baseball."
When Nik was 11 his parents installed a court in their Mississauga backyard so he and his older brother, Peter, could play at all hours, in all weather, including a severe 2006 storm that left the court, rim and backboard encased in ice. "The ball couldn't hit the backboard without slipping off, but we didn't care," says Nik. At Loyola Catholic Secondary School, few people shared his passion for the game. Before Nik's 10th-grade season, no teacher volunteered to coach basketball, which meant there could be no team. Nik's dad, Paul, a computer consultant, offered to take charge, but school policy required a teacher to supervise play. Desperate, Nik went around school begging faculty members. Finally a French teacher who was fond of Nik agreed to sit in the gym and grade papers while Paul conducted practices.
Unwilling to risk a similar crisis the following year, Nik headed south to prep school. After leading St. Mark's School (Southborough, Mass.) to a New England private-school title as a senior, he made a seamless transition to Michigan, breaking into the starting lineup in the Wolverines' seventh game. He's one of the few shooters Beilein has had who can handle and drive. "Our staff loves Nik because he just wants to be a good player," says Beilein. "And he wants his team to win and takes it very seriously. Yet he also says to us, 'It's only a game.' He's very good at putting it in perspective."
Like Stauskas, Cadougan took the prep school route to D-I, though his motivation for leaving home was grimmer. He became obsessed with the game as a toddler in Toronto's crime-ridden Jane and Finch neighborhood, where he lived with three siblings and his mom, Suzette, a native of Trinidad who worked at an auto parts factory. Junior played with his older brother, Kerlon, on indoor hoops fashioned out of coat hangers and milk cartons before he graduated to the gritty neighborhood courts. In middle school Junior made his first national team and joined the AAU squad Grassroots Canada, squeezing into vans with other players to drive to tournaments as far away as North Carolina. In the early summer of 2005, after a stellar ninth-grade season for Toronto's Eastern Commerce High, Junior asked Suzette if he could follow his friend Olu Ashaolu to an Atlanta prep school. "He was just 15," says Suzette. "I thought he was too young."
Two months later, a near tragedy changed her mind. On the evening of Aug. 3, Junior, Kerlon and their four-year-old brother, Shaquan, were on the porch of the family's town house with several friends when a gunman inside a passing car fired shots at the group. Five people were hit by bullets, including Junior, who was nicked in the shoulder. Shaquan, however, was hit four times in his legs and midsection. When he saw his little brother bleeding in the arms of a friend, Junior, a kid noted for his toughness even in that neighborhood, started crying. "The whole thing was crazy," he says.
Two weeks later, while Shaquan was still recovering, Suzette gave Junior her blessing to go south. "It wasn't easy for me, but he'd be safer there," she says. "God kept Shaquan alive, so that gave me confidence to know He'd be with Junior." (Shaquan, now 12, is in good health and plays for Grassroots Canada.)
Junior spent a year in Atlanta and three at Christian Life Academy in Humble, Texas, before arriving at Marquette, where he has averaged 8.6 points and 4.2 assists through week's end. (Ashaolu is now a senior forward at Oregon.) "I love his toughness and heart," Marquette coach Buzz Williams says of Cadougan. "There's nothing about him statistically that pops out. But so many good things happen when the ball is in his hands. He's an easy guy to cheer for."
One guy rooting for Cadougan is Bennett, who also grew up in Jane and Finch. The two players don't know each other well, but the affable Bennett keeps tabs on Cadougan's progress, as he does on that of dozens of fellow Canadians. Before a recent practice Bennett examined Canada Basketball's list of the guys playing D-I and named about 40 he considers friends. "We're like a family," he says. "We have to stick together."
Bennett and Cadougan have other things in common besides their old neighborhood. Anthony was also raised by a single mom, Edith Bennett, a native of Jamaica who worked two nursing jobs to support him and his two older siblings. And Anthony found refuge from the troubled streets in basketball, at the Boys and Girls Club, where he launched balls from the perimeter arc for hours.
When he was in sixth grade, the family moved to the Toronto suburb of Brampton. "I tried to find a hoop or basketball team to play on, but there was nothing," says Bennett, "so I stopped playing." A few years later he found an outlet in a house league and eventually joined CIA Bounce. "He was really raw, but you could see a lot of physical gifts," says the team's coach, Mike George. "And he was coachable—anything you'd ask, he'd do it."
With help from George, Anthony landed a scholarship at Mountain State Academy in Beckley, W.Va., where he played his 10th-grade year with five other Canadian teenagers—"I was never homesick," he says—before heading west to Findlay Prep in Las Vegas. Kentucky and Florida wanted to sign him, but he felt an affinity for the coaches and the style of play at nearby UNLV. After Birch, a fellow McDonald's All-American, transferred from Pitt in the fall of 2011 and reported being happy at UNLV, "that sealed the deal," says Bennett.
Bennett has been a revelation with the Runnin' Rebels, both for his leadership—coach Dave Rice says Bennett is the first to high-five teammates subbing in or out and the most likely to lay a reassuring hand on a teammate who is getting blistered in the huddle—and for his offensive domination. He leads the team with 15.9 points on 52.7% shooting (37.0% from the arc) and 8.1 rebounds, despite the altitudinal challenges of the Mountain West Conference, which can be especially brutal on an asthma sufferer like Bennett. (He says visits to mile-high Colorado State and Air Force, both losses, were "terrible.") Bennett's offensive production complements the defensive prowess of Birch, who averages 7.8 points, 6.2 rebounds and 2.7 blocks a game.
Like Bennett, Birch is happy at UNLV, but he's somewhat surprised to be there. "I always thought I'd be a football player," he says. In his Montreal neighborhood there were few basketball role models and few places to work on his game. Around 10th grade he learned about Joel Anthony, a fellow Montrealer who made the NBA at 25 after being named the Mountain West defensive player of the year with UNLV in 2007. "I thought, If he can do it, I can do it," says Birch. "We even ended up at the same college."
He and Bennett miss a few things from home—for Birch it's poutine, the gravy-and-cheese-smothered French fries popular in Quebec; for Bennett it's Timbits, the doughnut-hole treats offered at Tim Hortons coffee shops—but they feel well loved in Vegas. Whenever one of them makes a nice play, a few fans hold up Canadian flags (in the traditional red and white), making Bennett feel "all happy inside," he says.
Bennett gets the same feeling when he checks up on all his friends on that Canada Basketball list. "If I don't have a chance to watch their games, I'll check the box scores to see how they did," he says. "Most of the time, they do pretty well."
COMPARED WITH PLAYERS FROM COUNTRIES OUTSIDE NORTH AMERICA, FEW SAYS, CANADIANS "HAVE ZERO TRANSITION TO MAKE."
"WE'RE LIKE FAMILY," BENNETT SAYS OF FELLOW CANADIANS. "WE HAVE TO STICK TOGETHER."

About the Gross Child Sex Scene in It That Didn't Make It Into the Movie
I thought the character portraits were among the most vivid and compelling of any I've ever read. The horror elements were good too, but I viewed them as flavor to move the book along as we learned more about the lives of the characters and the strange history of Derry. All that being said, the scene toward the end where Beverly has sex with all the other kids seemed extraneous to me. And I can deal with extraneous if its otherwise entertaining or adds something to the read.
This 'It' Sex Scene Got Cut From The Movie & You'll Be So Thankful
In the dark, Bill heard a sound he could not immediately place. A whispery little sound, but not scary. Then there was a more easily place sound… a zipper. He was undressing. For some reason, Beverly was undressing.
Wikipedia describes the scene like this :. After the battle, the Losers get lost in the sewers until Beverly has sex with all the boys to bring unity back to the group. The scene first surfaces as a repressed memory within Bev—she remembers during another sex scene with the adult Bill:. But it was not her revelation; even in her own shock she saw that.

Alcohol Use in Families
No. 17; Updated May 2019
One in five adult Americans have lived with an alcoholic relative while growing up. In general, these children are at greater risk for having emotional problems than children whose parents are not alcoholics. Alcoholism runs in families, and children of alcoholics are four times more likely than other children to become alcoholics themselves. Most children of alcoholics have also experienced some form of neglect or abuse in the home.
A child being raised by a parent or caregiver who is suffering from alcohol abuse may have a variety of conflicting emotions that need to be addressed in order to avoid future problems. They are in a difficult position because they cannot go to their own parents for support. Some of the feelings can include the following:
- Guilt - The child may see himself or herself as the main cause of the mother's or father's drinking.
- Anxiety - The child may worry constantly about the situation at home. They may fear the alcoholic parent will become sick or injured and may also fear fights and violence between the parents.
- Embarrassment - Parents may give the child the message that there is a terrible secret at home. The ashamed child does not invite friends home and is afraid to ask anyone for help.
- Inability to have close relationships - Because the child has been disappointed by the drinking parent many times, he or she often does not trust others.
- Confusion - The alcoholic parent will change suddenly from being loving to angry, regardless of the child's behavior. A regular daily schedule, which is very important for a child, does not exist because bedtimes and mealtimes are constantly changing.
- Anger - The child feels anger at the alcoholic parent for drinking and may be angry at the non-alcoholic parent for lack of support and protection.
- Depression - The child feels lonely and helpless to change the situation.
Although the child tries to keep the alcoholism a secret, teachers, relatives, other adults, or friends may sense that something is wrong. Teachers and caregivers should be aware that the following behaviors may signal a drinking or other problem at home:
- Failure in school, truancy
- Lack of friends, withdrawal from classmates
- Delinquent behavior, such as stealing or violence
- Frequent physical complaints, such as headaches or stomachaches
- Abuse of drugs or alcohol
- Aggression towards other children
- Risk taking behaviors
- Depression or suicidal thoughts or behavior
Some children of alcoholics may cope by taking the role of responsible "parents" within the family and among friends. They may become controlled, successful "overachievers" throughout school, and at the same time be emotionally isolated from other children and teachers. Their emotional problems may show only when they become adults.
It is important for relatives, teachers, and caregivers to realize that whether or not the parents are receiving treatment for alcoholism, these children and adolescents can benefit from educational programs and mutual-help groups such as programs for children of alcoholics, Al-Anon, and Ala-teen. Early professional help is also important in preventing more serious problems for the child, including reducing risk for future alcoholism. Child and adolescent psychiatrists can diagnose and treat problems in children of alcoholics. They can also help the child to understand they are not responsible for the drinking problems of their parents and that the child can be helped even if the parent is in denial and refusing to seek help.
The treatment program may include group therapy with other youth, which reduces the isolation of being a child of an alcoholic. The child and adolescent psychiatrist will often work with the entire family, particularly when the alcoholic parent has stopped drinking, to help them develop healthier ways of relating to one another.

Hi! My name is Candice and I am 27 years old. I live in Walton, KY - a small town just south of Cincinnati, OH. I live with my 5-year-old daughter and I am currently working as the Sales Manager for some hotels in my area.
The first time I was diagnosed with TTP was August 2006, and had never heard of such a disease before. I was 21 years old and had just found out I was pregnant for the first (and only) time. I was in college, had just broken up with my boyfriend and working in a credit card call center, so getting pregnant was not planned.
Driving to work just a few days later, I had what I thought was a panic attack. Both the ER nurses and I assumed it was from stress and I was given a mild sedative and sent home. Within a few hours, I became violently ill. I visited my family doctor the next day where he drew some blood and gave me a prescription for nausea and sent me home. A short time later I was called and asked to come back so they could re-draw my labs - they thought they had messed them up. I returned, had more blood drawn and before I could return home, they called again saying I needed to go to the ER at our local hospital. I remember going to sleep in one of the rooms in the ER that evening and woke up about 4 days later in the ICU at University of Cincinnati Hospital. I did not fully comprehend what was happening for a few days. When I was finally lucid, I was told my platelet level was approximately 6,000 - and they may have to terminate my pregnancy if it didn't improve.
After another week in ICU, my numbers slowly climbed enough to move me out of the ICU to the Critical Care Unit, where I spent the next 4 weeks or so. When I was finally stable enough to be discharged, I still had to return for daily visits to the dialysis unit for plasamapheresis! I spent the remainder of my pregnancy continuing to feel as though I lived at the hospital for either pheresis treatments, hematologist appointments, or OB visits.
Thankfully, though, I delivered a healthy baby girl in March 2007 – truly my miracle baby - 2 weeks before her due date, weighing only 4 pounds 11 ounces and entirely perfect - just tiny :).
During my last few months of pregnancy, I had consulted my OB about birth control since I was told my pregnancy triggered my TTP. I asked about a hysterectomy but being only 21, my OB refused as she did not want to throw me into early menopause. I then asked to have my "tubes tied", which she agreed to do - she told me that had I been pregnant in high school and this happened, I most likely would not have survived, but in time, with the more that is learned about the disease, maybe it would not be so life threatening for me to have another child.
In August 2007, I relapsed. I was violently ill one morning and became disoriented while driving. I somehow managed to call a friend who found me using landmarks! I was admitted with a platelet count of 7,000, and this time, most definitely NOT pregnant. During this episode, my hematologist approached me about an experimental treatment called Rituximab. I agreed and went through 4 rounds, which was about as fun as the plasmapheresis!!
I was in remission until August of 2012. I was in London, KY for work when I woke up tasting blood in my mouth and feeling very sluggish – I got in my car to begin the 2 hour drive back home when I became disoriented. I was taken to the local hospital, where the ER doctor yelled at me and told me to "stop it" that I was having a panic attack - even though I wear a medic alert bracelet. After the lab work came back showing my platelets were at 9,000 - they arranged to fly me to University of Kentucky Hospital as they were the closest hospital equipped to treat me. While being prepped to go, someone had read that I needed "fresh frozen plasma" - so they proceeded to hook an IV into me and put it in there!!!!!!! It was unbelievably painful and by the time we reached UK Hospital, I looked like I was 9 months pregnant again and felt like I was going to burst at the seams!! When UK drew my blood my platelets were at 4,000 and dropping.
They tried to put a port catheter in my neck where the previous ones had been, but after much stabbing, decided that area would have to wait until the radiology department 'opened' the next day. I needed treatment immediately however, so they opted for the next option - my femoral artery - in my leg! OUCH. I never thought I would actually MISS seeing University of Cincinnati Hospital, but after those two, I was begging to go there!!
I finished my pheresis at UK and about a week and a half later I was finally able to go home. I have now been in remission for about 4 months, and my hematologist says that if I relapse again, it’s more Rituximab, since that kept me in remission for 5 years.
My Adamts13 level was tested, which was normal, so I am told that there is no way currently to test my daughter for the disease. All I can do is watch for the signs in her and educate her when she is older.
Some days I feel like a hypochondriac. Occasionally, I'll taste blood in my mouth or days will go by that I am just constantly tired or I find new bruises, and I have an internal struggle - do I go to the doctor, or is it all in my head. What if it happens while I am driving again? I was extremely lucky before. What if my daughter is in the car with me? Barring regular doctor visits, I try to remain aware of my body as best I can without overreacting. I wish we had a tool like diabetics testing meters, because I believe a little part of all our stress as survivors is the relapse paranoia. It happens so fast and signs are usually so subtle that by the time it happens, we are already an emergency case.
I am not sure what the future holds for my daughter, or myself, and as I have already learned (3 times) life is precious and tomorrow is never promised. I still stress about things I probably shouldn't, but if I let it take over my life - then I won't have one!!

At last there's a glimmer of hope for stopping the monarch's death spiral. The US Fish & Wildlife Service is investing several million dollars in partnership projects with the National Wildlife Federation, the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation, and others to produce milkweed seeds and to plant vast areas in locally native milkweed along the monarch butterfly's major flyway routes.
Planting locally native milkweed is something each of us can do. To identify which milkweed is local to your area and to find seeds or plants, visit the Monarch Joint Venture. Not only will the monarch butterfly thank you, so will more than seventy other pollinator species that forage on milkweed.

One year after the disastrous BP oil spill and nearly six years after Hurricane Katrina devastated the city, New Orleans reported that it welcomed more than eight million visitors last year for the first time since Katrina.
In 2010, New Orleans welcomed 8.3 million visitors, who spent a total of $5.3 billion, the highest visitor spending in the city's history, according to the 2010 New Orleans Area Visitor Profile survey, conducted by the University of New Orleans Hospitality Research Center, based on responses from 5,343 people.
"It is energizing to see such strong results," said Stephen Perry, president and CEO of the New Orleans Convention and Visitors Bureau, especially, he added, "coming out of the strong economic downturn, and on top of the difficult perception challenges created by the BP oil spill …"
Following the oil spill, the New Orleans CVB received $5 million from BP to help fund a tourism marketing campaign intended to combat misperceptions and let people know they could still enjoy New Orleans despite the spill, which took place 115 miles off Louisiana's Gulf coast and never actually reached the popular tourist town.
Nevertheless, people were worried about the oil slick and its impact on the region's famous seafood, seafood that is the key ingredient in local specialties such as gumbo, barbecue shrimp, fried oyster po-boys and Cajun-spiced catfish.
A Katrina-hardened town determined not to be struck down yet again proactively combated the image issue, using the BP funding to run print, TV and Internet ads with slogans such as "Anyone else need a cocktail?" featuring an image of a shrimp cocktail.
Whatever New Orleans is doing (whether actively or passively), it appears to be working. According to the survey, 77.7% of visitors to the Big Easy last year were there on vacation, and they spent an average of $142 per day in the city.
So, who's making the trip down south? Residents from Texas, California, Florida, Mississippi and New York brought in the biggest number of visitors to NOLA.
What about you? Were you nervous to go to New Orleans last year post-spill? Would you go now? What is it about the Big Easy that makes the city so special?

Naughty, naughty me… I have a new obsession and it’s coconut water! Granted, this may not be such a surprising development after having partially grown up surrounded by sunshine and coconuts in the tropics. But, it was definitely my winter vacation that cemented the love affair. Coconut water is extracted from young green coconuts as the hazy white natural juice inside. For those of you who’ve yet to give it a go, it tastes a bit like tree water, like if you’d put a piece of wood in a glass of water and not necessarily like the sap. It can be undeniably refreshing, especially if your prune to bouts of nostalgia for those relaxing holidays you spent by the beach slurping on the real thing.
I’ve seen it marketed as the healthy all-natural option of sports drinks to be enjoyed after hitting the gym particularly hard, but for me, I’m just a fan of the peculiar taste and wonderful memories I have of drinking it. Regardless, it must have some sort of health benefits (yes, that’s probably me just trying to convince/justify my indulgences). While in Thailand, I asked and was told that it is the young and slightly immature coconuts that they harvest when they are about 5-7 months to use for the drink. They added that the water was full of minerals like calcium, iron, manganese, magnesium, and zinc .. Sounds good, doesn’t it?
So tell me, have you ever tried a slurp and if so, what did you think?

The miracle of giving birth is a process that is remarkable and leaves tears in your eyes. Throughout the process, the relationship between a mother and her child expands and goes beyond boundaries. But to take it to the right place, one also requires to have a proper birth plan that considers everything. Since starting a family and settling down are not easy aspects of life, one needs to be prepared. Hence, to give you a complete idea about the same and help you out, here’s how you need to make a birth plan.
1. The Introduction
Before jumping into explanations and definitions, let’s understand the underlying meaning of a birth plan. By all means, a birth plan is a detailed outline of all your preferences during delivery and labour. This also tends to relate to the kind of people that you want around during the process, the type of meds that you prefer and so on. The main objective of the plan is to make the process as comfortable as possible. But one cannot ensure that the program goes accordingly because a few changes might be implemented based on the situation. Hence, come forward to seek help to form the right birth plan.
2. The Ingredients
The second question that people usually have tends to refer to the kind of concepts that need to be included in the plan. So, to make that specific here’s what needs to be included:
Details – necessary details such as name, contact information, doctor’s name, preferred place of birth, and so on.
Surrounding – this tends to refer to the kind of atmosphere that you want during the process of birth. Be it dim lights or bright lights, silence or music; the plan covers everything.
Pain Management – pain is an essential part of labour, and the plan comes in handy. The process goes ahead based on what you want it, except for changes made by doctors on medical grounds.
Labour – all your preferences during labour tends to be covered. Whether you want to walk around freely or use a chair, such aspects get included.
Delivery – the central part about delivery talks about your preferences towards the individual who needs to cut the umbilical cord and so on.
3. The Review
Apart from the points mentioned above, a birth plan includes more options, and they can be trimmed according to your need. But as soon as you have constructed the program, you need to review it along with your doctor and your partner. Bringing their opinions into the process will help you curb mistakes if there are any. So, you need to review the plan in time and way before the expected date of delivery.

One of the biggest concerns I hear from patients is about recovery following rhinoplasty. Chicago-area men and women who consult with me about nose jobs are worried the recovery will be uncomfortable and that they'll ruin the results if they sneeze or blow their nose even once. That's not true, although there are a number …Read More

Water Temp Getting Just Right to Reel In the White Trout
Gulf Shores & Orange Beach
The trout fishing is on fire along the Alabama Gulf Coast. The speckled trout (spotted seatrout if you’re a purist) gets the most attention, but the speck’s cousin can be loads of fun to catch and can provide all the fish needed for that Memorial Day fish fry.
The white trout, or sand trout, doesn’t get as big as their speckled cousins, but they are voracious feeders once the water temperature gets right. The magic number on that temperature gauge seems to be about 80 degrees. When the water gets that warm, which it has done a little earlier than normal this year, the white trout invade the inshore reefs and oyster beds. The white trout feed on shrimp and invertebrates that associate with the hard bottom.
A nice white trout weighs about a pound, but two-plus-pounders are caught on occasion in the inshore waters. You have to hit the offshore rigs to catch bigger white trout.
Seldom are you going to find white trout any place other than along the bottom. Use a quarter-ounce jighead with a soft plastic grub in a white, silver or chartreuse and hit the oyster beds and reefs. White trout tend to hit the bait on the fall, so cast out and give it quick little hops to trigger the strike. That’s when the fish aren’t in a feeding frenzy. When the white trout are really biting, anything moving in the water will work. My buddy experimented the other day on exactly what minimum lure would evoke a strike. After his plastic grub was obliterated by the trout, he just tossed the bare jighead out and continued to catch fish. Once you find the fish, you can usually put 20 or more in the boat before they slack off. Sometimes a lot more.
White trout do have tender mouths so I use 10-pound test line on medium-action spinning tackle. I also back off on the drag just a bit to keep from ripping the hook out of their mouths.
There is no length or bag limit on white trout in Alabama, but I don’t keep anything that wouldn’t make a decent filet. Because the flesh of the white trout is not as firm as a speckled trout, special handling is required to get the freshest flavor possible.
Instead of just throwing the trout in a cooler with a bag of ice, pour the ice in the cooler and add water to make an ice-water bath for the fish. Cooling the fish down is the key to keep the filet firm and easy to prepare. If you’ve caught so many that the fish can’t be submerged in the icy bath, you’ve got more than enough for the fish fry.
I carry that special care over to the cleaning table, too. I have a container with ice water. When I slice off a filet, it goes into the icy slush. When it’s time to cook, I drain the water off the fish. I then submerge the fish in milk for a few minutes before rolling in my favorite fish fry mix. After a good coating of the mix, the filets are dropped in 350-degree oil. When the fish rise to the surface, it’s time to dip them out and move to the next batch. I use paper sacks with paper towels on the bottom to hold the fish and soak up the extra oil. Before long, you’ll have plenty of fish to feed the hungriest of guests.

A Huntingdon family who have raised more than £70,000 for research to fight the rare muscle-wasting condition that affects their son, have been named as Muscular Dystrophy UK’s Fundraising Group of the Year.
James and Debra Mclellan, along with sons, Charlie, 8, and Dan, 6, were presented with the award by BBC presenter Sue Barker during a ceremony in London on Saturday, in thanks for their “incredible efforts” in galvanising family and friends to back their Dan’s Hope Fund.
The fund is helping Muscular Dystrophy UK to back groundbreaking research to tackle Ullrich muscular dystrophy, the condition Dan was diagnosed with at the age of two.
The Mclellans bring together teams of up to 50 runners for the charity’s Cambridge Town and Gown 10k every year, and have persuaded 16 plucky friends to sign up to a 15,000ft sponsored skydive to raise funds for Dan’s Hope.
Family friend Derrick Mabbott even travelled to California to train for a free-fall jump in support of the youngster.
Mr Mclellan said: “It was wonderful to meet Sue and we were absolutely thrilled to accept the award on behalf of everyone who supports Dan’s Hope, our family, friends and the amazing people around us.
“Without their help, we would never have got this far. On the day of the awards we heard about four or five promising new avenues for research that could help Dan. It’s great to be able to go back to all of those people who have worked so hard and be able to tell them what together we are achieving.”

TacticalSHIFT® Safe Investment Technologies
Our TacticalSHIFT® strategy is designed to move more assets away from stocks and become more conservative when the iInvest® models determine high stock market risk. If too large of a percentage of your assets are stocks, a swift fall in the market can be detrimental to your asset portfolio. TacticalSHIFT® is essentially a safety net to ensure mass asset loss does not occur.
TacticalSHIFT® is an optional strategy for clients, based on iInvest’s quantitative and technical stock market analysis models. It’s designed to move more assets away from stocks and into bonds when the iInvest® models determine high stock market risk.
These shifts are recommended up to 2 risk levels:
After opening your investment account at iInvest®, you may have a recommended portfolio allocation of:
70% Stocks/ 30% Bonds
If the iInvest® models trigger a TacticalSHIFT®, whether it be Level 1 or as severe as Level 2 (depending on stock market conditions), your portfolio would adjust as follows:
50% Stocks/ 50% Bonds
30% Stocks/ 70% Bonds
Ultimately, iInvest® will shift portfolio’s back up to the original portfolio allocation recommended for each individual, after our TacticalSHIFT® models determine risk has reduced.
These shifts are different depending on each client’s unique portfolio, but our models are designed to reallocate your portfolio automatically, with no transaction costs, no trade fees, and no hidden fees, no matter what!
The TacticalSHIFT® strategy is especially helpful for those investors who have saved up significant savings, and don’t want to participate during the bulk of major downturns, especially seen in Secular Bear Markets such as 1904-1921, 1929-1954, 1968-1982 and 2000-2013.
S&P 500 Secular Bear Markets over the last 100 years
S&P 500 during the Secular Bear Market of 2000-2013
This strategy is also designed to avoid some of the damage done in significant downturns often seen during Secular Bull Markets, such as the 1987, 1990, 1998, 2011 and 2015 declines.
Live 10 Year Chart
Cycle of Market Emotions
When things are great, we feel that nothing can stop us. When things go bad, we often look to take drastic action-usually at the wrong time. TacticalSHIFT® is recommended for each client by our registered investment advisors because it takes the factor of human emotion out of the equation.
Human emotions can be such a threat to an investor’s financial health, and it’s important to be aware of this. We at iInvest® have seen this happen time and time again to investors over the years.
This knowledge and awareness can then help protect the investor from the negative consequences of impulsive and irrational reactions to those emotions.
With the TacticalSHIFT® strategy, your bear market safety net, we make the portfolio shifts for you, therefore helping to remove the negative effects of human emotion from the investment equation.
*The TacticalSHIFT® strategy may generate a taxable event in non-qualified (taxable) investment accounts. Please consult your tax advisor. Past performance is not indicative of future performance. Performance Disclosure Statement.Learn More About TacticalSHIFT®
If you are interested in learning more about TacticalSHIFT® technologies we urge you to contact us today. One of our investment advisors can walk you through why the TacticalSHIFT® is a valuable tool, and more specifically how it can help to benefit your financial future.

Estimating CO2 emissions from water transportation of freight in China Online publication date: Fri, 23-Oct-2015
by Han Hao; Yong Geng; Xunmin Ou
International Journal of Shipping and Transport Logistics (IJSTL), Vol. 7, No. 6, 2015
Abstract: China's water transport sector has experienced a rapid growth over recent years. In this study, we estimated the CO2 emissions from China's inland waterway, coastal and ocean freight shipping for the period of 2006 to 2012. In order to make sure that existing data can be effectively utilised and data uncertainty can be addressed, we employed three approaches to estimate CO2 emissions, including freight turnover volume-based approach, engine operation-based approach, and vessel activity-based approach, respectively. Research outcomes show that CO2 emissions from China's freight shipping increased from 58.7 mt (million ton) in 2006 to 83.5 mt in 2012, with an annual growth rate of 6.1%. Currently, CO2 emissions from freight shipping accounted for around 12% of CO2 emissions from transport sector and 1% of the overall CO2 emissions in China. From the subsector perspective, ocean freight shipping contributed the most to the total CO2 emissions, with a percentage of 48.2% in 2012. However, CO2 emissions from inland waterway and coastal freight shipping had higher growth rates and their shares might increase considerably in the long-term. Based upon our research findings, we propose our policy suggestions on mitigating CO2 emissions from freight shipping, with a special focus on ocean freight shipping.

Big expansion to cover 200 acres, add thousands of jobs
Iowa State University and the state officials are planning a groundbreaking Wednesday on a major expansion of the Iowa State University Research Park.
The Economic Development Core Facility is a 49,210 square foot building that is billed as a one-stop shop for business and industry to get help from Iowa State experts.
The ceremony will be 4-6 p.m. Wednesday at the CPMI Event Center at 2321 N. Loop Dr.
A $12 million state appropriation is supporting the building's construction. It will offer space for 100 workers and meeting space.
The building is scheduled to open in mid-2016.
"This building really will be transformational for the economic development efforts we’re making," ISU President Steven Leath said. "For the first time, all Iowa State economic development service units will be together, enabling us to provide services in a much more comprehensive and integrated fashion."
The expansion of the research park with close to 60 tenants with 1,300 employees would add another 200 acres and put total number of workers at more than 6,000.

Your H-1B visa request is pending. It seeks to bring foreign workers in to the United States to fill a specialty occupation in your organization. Now you have received an H-1B Request for Evidence (“RFE”). You are not sure what it means.
H-1B Request for Evidence: What Is It?
An RFE is issued to you by the United States Customs and Immigration Service (USCIS) when it needs more information pertaining to your H-1B case. The USCIS will send it to you in the mail and through the USCIS online case status tool.
An RFE is used by USCIS to obtain information regarding the H-1B visa petitioner, beneficiary or both, since the USCIS must see sufficient proof of an employer-employee relationship. An RFE simply means the USCIS needs more information about your petition. It is not a Notice of Intent to Deny.
If you receive an RFE, you have 30 days from the date you receive it (if you are in the United States, otherwise you will have a longer period of response time) to submit the responsive documents. You should make sure you meet the responsive deadlines. Also, you should be very thorough in answering the USCIS inquiries. If you fail to respond adequately to the RFE, you risk delaying or losing your case.
Before you respond to an RFE, you should hire experienced immigration counsel to represent you and help you prepare your responses. Expert counsel can help you make sure that your responses to an RFE provide the USCIS with the information it needs to act quickly and favorably on your petition.
Most Common Reasons for an RFE
RFEs are not unusual. In fact, they are becoming more and more common in the current immigration environment. The most common reasons USCIS will issue an RFE are:
1. The petitioner sent incomplete or incorrect documentation. You may simply need to provide additional documentation pertaining to your case. The RFE will specific the documentation the USCIS is seeking to conclude your petition. Your documents may need to be professionally translated into English.
2. USCIS needs to clear up discrepancies between information in the USCIS Validation Instrument for Business Enterprises (VIBE) system and an employer’s H-1B visa petition. The VIBE system uses commercially available information regarding the petitioning employer. Some discrepancies may arise due to a recent change of address, change of structure or other mismatched information between the VIBE system and H-1B visa petition. In such cases, USCIS may issue a RFE seeking the employer’s Federal Tax ID Number, wage reports, lease agreement, financial statements, and other basic information.
3. USCIS needs more information for the determination of a specialty occupation. H-1B visas are granted to individuals who are qualified workers in a “specialty occupation”. To qualify, the position must at least require a bachelor’s degree (or equivalent) for the position. The position may also be so complex that it requires a specialized degree. Other requirements may also apply. In short, the determination of a “specialty occupation” typically comes down to the judgment of the adjudicating officer. To support the decision, the RFE may seek information about the beneficiary’s work experience, industry-wide practices, proposed salary, and similar information.
4. Petition was filed on behalf of businesses for professional qualifications not typically associated with that occupation. Occasionally, an RFE may be requested if a small business is filing an H-1B visa petition for a foreign worker who possesses skills not commonly associated with the occupation or field. For example, a petition for a veterinarian filed by an accounting firm is very unusual and would likely generate an RFE. The USCIS may not see a correlation between the two and be led to believe that the beneficiary will be placed in a position of less capacity and/or find other work when arriving. In responding to the RFE, the accounting firm should be prepared to show that the beneficiary will be performing a role in a “specialty occupation” for the firm.
5. The foreign worker has a degree in a separate field of study. Sometimes an individual has degree but not in the same field as the proposed position. In such cases, the RFE will request an explanation detailing how the degree relates to the position. Likewise, if the foreign worker does not have a bachelor’s degree from a United States school, the foreign worker may need to submit proof of the foreign degree equivalent. The RFE may also seek proof of experience in the form of past employment letters or school grades and evaluations from an official source.
6. The petition raises questions about the employer-employee relationship. The USCIS must be satisfied that a proper employee-employee relationship exists before it will approve an H1B petition. Questions may arise when the sponsored worker will be working off site. In those cases, the RFE will likely seek information that establishes the employer has the ability and right to control over how, when, and where the worker performs the job. Responsive information should include appropriate documentation showing that the specialty occupation can be performed at that off-site location.
7. The petition seeks an extension or change of status. If an H-1B visa petition seeks to extend time or a change of status, sufficient documentation must show that the foreign worker has maintained his or her current status. The foreign worker will likely need to submit pay statements.
What Should You Do If You Have Received an RFE?
If you receive an RFE, your first step should be to consult with an experienced immigration attorney for assistance. You may already be represented. If so, work with your immigration attorney to develop a full and careful response to the RFE. Your attorney will help you understand the scope of the RFE, assemble responsive and pertinent information, and complete the process expeditiously.

Scott Redding passed fit to start practice in Japan
Scott Redding has been declared fit to start practice for this weekend’s Japanese Grand Prix tomorrow after coming through a painful medical examination at the Twin Ring Motegi earlier.
The 20-year-old is fighting to keep his Moto2 world title hopes alive after he suffered a broken left wrist in a qualifying crash five days ago during the Australian round at Phillip Island.
Redding needed to have a plate and six screws inserted in the wrist and with main rival Pol Espargaro winning a shortened race, the Spaniard heads to the penultimate round of the season with a 16-point over the Briton.
Redding was put through a tough medical assessment at 230pm local time in Japan, but he and thousands of British fans got the news they had been hoping when he was passed fit to start tomorrow’s first free practice.
Passing today’s medical does not mean Redding will be allowed to keep his title challenge alive in Sunday’s 23-lap race, with the Gloucestershire rider subject to additional medical checks throughout the weekend.
Coming through the initial medical assessment though was a big hurdle negotiated for a relieved Redding and speaking exclusively to MCN in the Twin Ring Motegi paddock today, the Marc VDS Racing rider said: “I did everything they asked me to do but they still weren’t quite sure. In the end they had no choice because I did what they wanted me to do. They wanted me to do a full push up but I told them I don’t have the flexibility to position my hand like that and I explained to them you never put your left hand at 90 degrees on the bike.
If it was my throttle hand I would have to agree with them, but with the clutch hand you don’t have to do it. So I made some push ups against a wall and then I had to do them on a bed in a much lower position and I still managed it. I had to do a couple of grip exercises to show that I can control the bike if I have a tank-slapper and I just gritted my teeth and held on because I know I want to race. I said I’d do anything to be declared fit and I am not going to lie because it did hurt. If anybody tells you that they have a plate and six screws inserted in their wrist and it doesn’t hurt when somebody is shaking the hell out of your hand, well it really does hurt.
I had to push through that and that is nothing to what it is going to be like on the bike. I just need to mentally prepare myself knowing it is going to hurt and do the best I can. The arm has healed really well to be fair and I have tried to keep moving it, but at least tomorrow I get the chance to prove to everybody that my wrist is OK and I can be out there fighting for some points and take it to Valencia. It is a big call to say where I will finish but I will take the pain and go for what I can do.”
The fact that tomorrow’s practice and Saturday’s action is forecast to be disrupted by rain will certainly be a huge benefit to Redding. The stop and go nature of the Twin Ring Motegi makes it the worst possible track to be riding with a damaged wrist, with so many brutal braking points.
The Japanese venue is one of the most demanding on the upper body all season, but in wet conditions it will at least ease some of the stress on Redding’s injured wrist.
One concern is that by riding could cause significant tendon damage, which would put him out of action for a minimum of three months.
Not only would that end his Moto2 title challenge but it would also disrupt preparations for his 2014 MotoGP debut, with Redding due to test Honda’s new production RCV1000R machine at a three-day test in Valencia next month.
He added: “In my head I sometimes forget the wrist is broken but the only thing I am worried about is ripping or tearing a tendon on the outside of my forearm because if that happens I can’t do anything for three months. I need to pay attention to that, so the rain is going to help me a bit but it also increases the risk of crashing. But at the end of the day I am fighting for a championship.
I just need to see what I can do this weekend. I’ll need to take the pain and push through it to get the best result I can. In my head the championship is still not over and anything can happen. I think it puts pressure on Pol knowing I am even here because I wasn’t sure I'd be coming."

My task of protecting sovereignty of the Motherland cannot be stopped by conspiracies – General Sarath Fonseka
Source: Lanka Truth
The noble task of defending sovereignty and territorial integrity of the Motherland he has undertaken cannot be defeated by an army coup or any other conspiracy says apolitical Common Candidate Gen. Sarath Fonseka. He said this at the final press conference he held before the presidential election. Leader of UNF Ranil Wickremasinghe, Leader of the JVP Somawansa Amarasinghe, Leader of the Western People’s Front Mano Ganeshan, Mr. Sathasivam Kanagaratnam of TNA and a large number of journalists participated at the event held at Jaik Hilton Hotel in Colombo today (23rd).
Gen. Fonseka addressing the media said, “A journalist asked me what I would do if a military coup is carried out on the 27th to prevent my victory. I am confident regarding my victory at the presidential election. I told you earlier that we have already won the postal votes. I am confident that the Army would not engage in any illegal move. The senior officers in the Army have connections with us. If such a thing is attempted it would boomerang on the initiators. The Army would go against them.
When the police and the CID were asked to remand my son-in-law those officers had said they could not do it. They had said they would leave their uniforms and go home. Hence, the Army and other services would act against any conspiracy. They have confidence in us.
The government accuses me of having various secret agreements. I have no agreement with anybody. There is only an understanding on a policy. The only policy I have with people in the South or the North is the creation of a country where all people can live in harmony, a country that marches forward towards development, that engages in transparent politics, that cherishes democracy, a country where there is no president full of wrath or a despot, where everyone could live justly without fear or suspicion.
We respect the sovereignty and territorial integrity of this country. We would never allow the country to be divided or broken into pieces. We would not allow any injustice to any citizen of the country. We dedicate ourselves to protect all communities, religions and march forward as a single Sri Lankan Nation.”
The Leader of the JVP Somawansa Amarasinghe addressing the media said, “We would never take measures to bring to power a king or a queen. It is the same here as well. What we are engaged is to take measures to protect democracy in the country.
Many ask whether a military administration would be installed when the General comes to power. There is a military rule now. We are living in a country with a military administration. Opposition parties are not allowed to engage in politics. Limbs of members of opposition political parties are broken, their heads are cracked; offices of rival political parties are destroyed and torched. Members of opposition political parties are not allowed to cast their votes. These are the acts that occur under a military regime. Our exercise is to defeat such moves. We call upon Mahinda Rajapakse regime to stop all undemocratic moves.
The Leader of the UNP Ranil Wickremasinghe said, “People in this country would vote on the 26th for a believable change. After that you will meet President Sarath Fonseka.
The Leader of Western People’s Front Mano Ganeshan said, “I came to Colombo from Vavuniya this morning. The condition in IDP camps is very critical. There are about 35,000 voters still in IDP camps. There are no facilities in the camps despite the government telling the people in the South that they have provided all facilities to these people. However, there are large banners and cutouts of Mr. Mahinda Rajapakse in the camps. There are no banners or posters of our campaign. There is a one man show in the camps.
Rizad Badurdeen and Douglas Devananda have threatened these IDPs. They live in fear. These people need a change. We are prepared to provide facilities for these people. The people in the North have expressed unofficially their support to General Fonseka. Hence, the government is scared now. We have information that the government is preparing to unleash terror to rig votes. We call upon the Commissioner of Elections to cancel the voting in any center if any election violation is carried out.

Many people hate the extremely onerous task of cleaning the household oven, but it’s actually not very difficult if you find the right way to do so and here at Ramsbottom Kitchens, we’re happy to help. These methods are even chemical free! Read below to find out how.
Option 1 – Overnight Oven Cleaning
With this easy, chemical free way you will keep your oven clean, and it’s so foolproof even a kitchen novice can do it!
- Gather your weapons for battle. You’ll need water, vinegar, baking soda, and sea salt.
- Prepare to fight. Mix half a bottle of vinegar with equal parts water.
- Start by taking out your oven racks, as you can do those after you finish your oven.
- Take your mixture of water and vinegar, then spray down the inside of your oven. Make sure not to forget the door.
- Next, you take your baking soda and sprinkle it all over the inside, putting more on the greasier areas and wherever there is baked on food.
- Spray again.
- Leave to sit overnight, and in the meantime you can also do your oven racks.
- The next day, take a cloth or sponge and scrub the oven. The dirt should almost slide off.
- If needed, spray again with the vinegar and water.
- Wipe down with a towel or paper towels
- Enjoy your fresh, chemical free oven!
Option 2 – Quick Smart Scrub
This option takes far less time, and is perfect for those moments a fussy guest is due to arrive and you don’t want them to find out how far you’ve let things slide.
- You will need baking soda and water. That’s it!
- Depending on how greasy your oven is, start by pouring a little bit of baking soda into a bowl.
- Mix in small amounts of water until you get a thick, toothpaste like consistency.
- Remove the oven racks.
- Spread the mixture all over your oven. BE GENEROUS! You won’t regret it.
- Now, you wait. It can take anywhere from 30 minutes to 2 hours, When you’ve checked a small section and it comes up clean, it’s time to get down to business. Take either an old washcloth or a sponge and start scrubbing!
- Thankfully, this shouldn’t take too much elbow grease. If it does, you can also take some water mixed with a little bit of vinegar, spray it on and leave it sit for 10 minutes. Then wipe it all off with an old towel or paper towels and presto, you have a clean oven.
Option 3 (and our favourite!) – Get a Neff!
Of course, when you have a Neff oven, the superior range offers a Pyrolytic, or self cleaning, option that makes it even easier to degrease and degrime. With a Pyrolytic oven to clean you simply heat the unit to over 500 degrees and the food residue turns to a residue that is easily wiped out. Perfect cleaning without the scrubbing!

Corelle recently collaborated with Joe Kujawa (whom we know as formerly local artist Breakaway) to create “Altar//Unindividual” which combines Kujawa’s music with video. You can check out the project above – it was filmed on the autumnal equinox last year, screened for the first time on the winter solstice, and is now releasing online on the vernal equinox (today).
If you are interested in checking out more of Correlle’s work you can follow them on Instagram ( https://www.instagram.com/lyncorelle). Their first book, Bodybuilding Basics: A Field Guide for Young Naturalists, was released this winter, their recent short film Themes From a Window can be found online, and their ongoing //Unindividual video series has screened at a variety of venues around the Twin Cities.
If you somehow missed Breakaway’s excellent album last year No More White Bread (which this song comes from) you can check that out here.

If your injury or illness prevents you from working and entitles you to SSDI benefits, you should know that family members who were financially reliant on you may also be eligible to receive benefits. Your spouse or former spouse, and children, may be eligible to receive up to 50 percent of the amount you receive, and they will get paid on a monthly basis.
If your spouse is 62 or older, he or she may collect benefits on your earnings record, unless he or she collects more based on his or her own record. However, your SSDI benefits may be reduced by a certain percentage based on how many years you have before you turn 65. For example, if you start receiving benefits at 63 years old, your benefits will be reduced by approximately 25 percent. If your spouse is not yet 62, they may still receive benefits if they are caring for a child under the age of 16 or a child who is disabled.
Divorced spouses who are at least 62 years of age and were married to you for at least 10 years may also qualify for benefits on your earnings record, as long as they are unmarried and not eligible for the same benefits or higher benefits on their own record.
Children under the age of 18, 18 to 19-year-old children who are full-time high-school students, or adult children that have a disability that began before the age of 22, can also receive disability benefits on your record.
Keep in mind that there is a maximum amount of money each family can receive, and the SSA will reduce your family members’ benefits if the payable benefits exceed this maximum. Generally, the maximum will be 150 to 180 percent of the benefits you are receiving. However, the benefits payable to your family members will not affect your personal benefits.

It is spring in the Jigokudani area and with the new greens of nature, new life is born to the monkeys. The first baby was reported to be born a week ago, towards the end of April.
Usually the first babies are born around the 20th of April. This year however, has been extraordinarily cold so the pregnant monkeys adjusted their internal delivery clock. The first baby this year was born to Tokkuri 92-00, a monkey that comes from a strong family within the monkey pack. Being member of a powerful family means that she is usually somewhere on the foreground, so very easily found in the park. If you see Tokkuri and her child, please keep your distance from the newborn and its momma as they are now it their most vulnerable due to delivery.
If you’re in the Jigokudani Park and you want to go searching for babies the trick is not to look for babies, but to look for mothers. The small creatures are solidly attached to their mom’s belly for the first months of life. So you’re more likely to get lucky if you search for the bigger monkeys instead of the small ones. If you visit the Jigokudani Snow Monkey Park in the months of May, June, July there is a fat chance that you’ll see more and more babies popping up as time passes.

Reading Switches With PIC Microcontroller – Flowcode
Watch The Video Tutorial
Switches are digital inputs and are widely used in electronic projects as most systems need to respond to user commands or sensors.
The simplest form of a user command is by switching on and off a switch, this is a good example of a digital input which is basically anything that makes or breaks a single connection, or something that can have only two states: On or Off, High or Low, 0V or +5V etc.
Connecting a switch is very useful because a switch can represent a wide range of digital devices in real world like limit sensors, level switches, proximity switches, keypads (a combination of switches) etc.
With flowcode it is very easy to connect a switch to any PORT of microcontroller all you need to do is to click on a switch component and then drag and drop an Input Icon on the flowchart.
Let us create a circuit as shown on the figure above:
- Two coloured LEDs (Red and Green) are connected to PORTD.
- Two toggle switches are connected to PORTC.
- If a switch is closed, it corresponding LED will switch ON.
- 10K resistors are used as pull up resistors and 220 as series resistor for the LEDs.
- Note that the MCLR pin is also connected to the supply voltage via a 10K resistor and external oscillator created by X1 is also used instead of internal oscillator.
—>>Start a new project select two LEDs (Red and Green) connect them to PORTD.
—>>Select a Switch component from the components tool bar.
—>> select a switch then click on the “….” next to connections properties to open its connection properties.
Connect the first switch to PORTC Bit 0 and the second one to PORTC Bit 1.
—>>Click again on the “….” next to the Ext Properties to edit the switch properties:
Type: You can select either a Toggle switch, Push button, Slide, Rocker, Rotary or you can customise your own.
Switch Operation: Controls how the switch on the panel behaves when it is pressed.
Latching – Switch stays in the state it is currently in until manually changed by the user.
Momentary – Switch always goes back to the default state after the switch has been released by the user.
Polarity: configures if the switch creates a logical 1 when pressed (Active High) or a logical 0 when pressed (Active Low).
Debounce: The switch debounce time period in milliseconds (ms).
Debounce is used with the WaitUntilLow and WaitUntilHigh macros to ensure a change has occurred rather than switch bounce or voltage irregularities.
—>>On the flowchart, insert a calculation icon and declare four variables: RED with an initial value of 1 (to switch on Red LED), GREEN with a value of 2 (for the Green LED), BOTH to switch ON both LEDs and Switch_Pressed to check which switch that was pressed.
—>>Insert an INPUT Icon to input the state of the PORT where your switches are connected.
—>>Insert Decision Icons as learned in the Flowcode Decision article to find out which switch that was pressed.

Many believe the key to strengthening the U.S. economy and competing globally lies in fostering an innovative culture and educating America's youth in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM). According to this year's Lemelson-MIT Invention Index, an annual survey that gauges Americans' perceptions about invention and innovation, teens are enthusiastic about these subjects, with 77 percent interested in pursuing a STEM career.
Hands-On Learning Approach Needed
This year's survey findings come on the heels of President Obama's introduction of Educate to Innovate, a campaign designed to increase interest and improve performance of U.S. students in STEM. The focus of Educate to Innovate is on hands-on activities outside the classroom, which the Lemelson-MIT Invention Index revealed is one of the most effective ways to engage youth ages 12 through 17.
Teens listed activities such as field trips to places where they can learn about STEM (66 percent) and access to places outside the classroom where they can go to build things and conduct experiments (53 percent) as the best ways to get them interested in these subjects. Highlighting the need for non-traditional learning regardless of setting, two-thirds of teens chose hands-on individual projects and hands-on group projects as the types of classroom-based educational methods they enjoy most.
Power of Teachers, Mentors in STEM Education
The survey also found that while in the classroom, educators play a powerful role in exciting teens about STEM - more than half of teens (55 percent) would be more interested in STEM simply by having teachers who enjoy the subjects they teach. The 2009 Lemelson-MIT Invention Index found that mentoring plays an important role in teens' motivations: 43 percent said that role models in STEM fields would increase their interest in learning about these areas.
A large majority of respondents wished they knew more about STEM in order to create or invent something (85 percent). However, many might be discouraged from pursuing professions in these areas due to a lack of understanding of the subjects or what people in these fields do, and not knowing anyone who works in these fields (51 percent). In addition, with less than one-fifth of respondents feeling scientists contribute most to society's well-being, and even fewer selecting engineers (5 percent), many teens may lack a full understanding of the societal impact that STEM professionals have, further illustrating the need for teachers and mentors in these areas.
Fostering Needs of Future Innovators
The Lemelson-MIT InvenTeam initiative is one way teens can get direct access to hands-on learning and STEM professionals. InvenTeams are teams of high school students, teachers and mentors that receive grants up to $10,000 each to invent technological solutions to real-world problems. InvenTeam projects this year include a portable, human-powered UV water filtration device, a physical therapy chair designed to reduce muscular atrophy, and a temperature-sensitive color-changing roof to combat global warming.
Joshua Schuler, executive director of the Lemelson-MIT Program, says, "Despite the need for more hands-on educational programs, it's encouraging to know that today's teens do have aspirations to invent and innovate. Schools and companies need to continue to facilitate access to STEM tools and mentors, and encourage teens to pursue their inventive passions." Schuler adds, "Introducing students to STEM at a young age helps them connect the dots between everyday invention and careers that can improve society and the U.S. economy."

WHO WRITES HERE?
Every discourse has a voice: Nice to meet you!
Hi, my name is Joanna.
Since I was a little girl I suspected that there’s something else than our normal mind can see, another world, something transcendental, metaphysical, that needs no explanation but experience. Today I know that it exists.
I was never a big fan of closed terms and fixed, rigid ideas. I love freedom of mind and the idea that experiencing and being trustful is more important than understanding. And it’s more satisfying by far. Rationality is often simply not enough. Thanks to an open minded mum and a border-crossing doctor, I came in touch very early with meditation, spiritual, antroposophic medicine and our self healing force, but yoga was unknown so far.
yoga meets you wherever you are — and then a transformational journey starts
My first official yoga class I took in a gym at 8.30 in the morning (not the best place to experience a holistic yogic practice). I was 15 years old. Even though I had never been a mega sporty, there was something special in yoga that I felt attracted to. At that moment it was just intuition that made me keep doing it. Today I understand why yoga is a unique, holistic practice.
10 years later, I practice Yoga (not only asana!) every day and my life has changed completely since that first class. From a young girl convinced to end up in the fashion industry, my soul made its way through to a balanced, joyful life knowing how to love and to be grateful. Instead of working in a competitive, money driven environment, I follow a minimalistic, spiritual way, doing what I love: connect people with themselves and others, healing old wounds and learn how to listen to our inner voice. Therefore yoga is my tool. (Want to know more about my classes?)
3. WHY I FOUNDED YOGA CAN DO
My teacher said: Yoga can do everything.
And it’s true. But on my journey in India I also realized: The western doors are still closed to this immense yogic knowledge. We simply don’t know about the power of yoga and all it’s healing force. The western majority keeps stuck on the physical asana practice. But there’s a whole world beyond this practice on the mat, we weren’t able to access yet. To me, my experience in India has opened the doors to this world. And by writing this blog I hope those doors become touchable to more and more people. Then everyone decides how far he/she wants to open them and to go this very personal yoga journey. I hope all around the world this experience of a complete yoga lifestyle gets opened offering the opportunity to experience everything yoga can do!
With yoga can do you will learn how to complete your practice, trying out new techniques and how to live a yogic lifestyle providing balance and health, consciousness and connection.
Yoga is open to everyone
You don’t need to do fancy postures to be a yogi. Yoga is much more than asanas. Doing poses on the mat, without taking that attitude into your everyday practice is just — sports? Don’t expect to live in self acceptance, free mind and connection when your yoga practice stays on your mat. Take it off the mat, into your everyday. The vision of Yoga Can Do is to transmit yoga as a whole, with everything it has to offer, its different practices and endless healing power.
People might come to yoga because of their body, but they stay because of their soul.
Take yoga from the mat into your life and experience the healing power of a yogic lifestyle.

Board Members present:
President: Tim Horton
Vice President: Brian Cook
Treasurer: Trina Martin
Secretary: Sheri Hyytinen
Meeting called to order by President, Tim Horton
Vice President Brian Cook introduced our new members:
Garret Hudson who we first met at a 4-H presentation at one of the CDS meetings and we are so happy he has now decided to join us. He hopes to do a lot of riding and learning some new trails. Maybe we can coax him into leading a few rides, too. He even attended one of our Board members and contributed some helpful opinions.
John Ferrian is currently in process of moving from Minnesota to Washington with his wife, Edythe and son, Mack. He is primarily a mountain backcountry rider who is a former President of his MN club.
Kay Lloyd introduced Tim Penelerick/Groomer as one of our New Members, too!
We are pleased to extend a BIG Welcome to our new families and look forward to riding w/ them hopefully in the near future.
Brian also discussed having people review and possibly head some of the committees listed on the website. He passed around a list to review and give people an opportunity to sign up if interested.
He also addressed the Membership Dues issue. The website is sending out past due notices when people have tried to pay online and we are working on the problems. We are also working on a plan to have a computer available for registering and training in the future.
Trina Martin presented the Treasurer Report happily and energetically in her usual tasteful manner.
Tim reminded members to try and RSVP more diligently to save from having to pay for unused dinners in the future.
Tim passed out the Annual Awards to members who were not present at the Banquet. Mick Steinman was awarded the “Rubber Side Up” and Shane Briel was awarded the “President’s Award”.
Wounded Warrior Ride: Tim thanked everyone who participated and commented on needing to schedule volunteers next year to plan and organize more of the event. See 3/14/2012 CDS Minutes for a list of all our Wonderful Volunteers who made this event possible. Possibly putting on the lunch and dinner.
Mick Steinman reported on the past Whistler Rides.
Elwood Hunt reported on the Snowpark Cleanup. Mike Collins offered to bring ‘pick-up’ sticks for anyone who may need them for next season. A Big Thank you to the Hunt’s for hosting the BBQ after.
Kenny VanAssche reported on his Annual Chelan Falls party.
Mark Berg reported on his Annual Pirate Party.
Rebecca Hunt reported on the Annual Fire Starter Party. Rebecca, Kay Lloyd, Brian Cook, Shane & Darrel, Darrel McLean & DeAnn showed up to help create over 600 fire starters. Trina & Kelly printed up the inserts and Gary & Delores contributed newspapers & egg cartons. Everyone contributed enough wax, newspapers & egg cartons enough to make another batch in a couple years.
WSSA Expo Plans:
Shirley Koger reported on Expo Scheduling issues:
So far we have 28 volunteers and due to an emergency the WSSA volunteer schedule is not yet available which makes it difficult to make a schedule for the CDS booth. Shirley passed around a sheet for people to write in their desired time & day and she would try to work around the WSSA schedule as soon as it becomes available.
Brian Cook has a large metal picture display he will be bringing to the Expo and asked it anyone can email or bring them he will display them on the stand.
Tim asked if anyone has pictures if they could work on making DVD’s to show in our booth.
Tim asked for a new Webmaster Board member and Jon Ferrian volunteered. He will be on board as soon as he finishes moving his family to Washington. He wanted to be able to help at the Expo but that happens to be when they will be making the drive from MN to WA.
Bob Pose was nominated our new AV (Audio/Visual) Coordinator.
Grooming Report – Kay Lloyd:
We are honored to have Kevin Merrell our New Kittitas Grooming Council Chair present at our meeting. Tim Penelerick was also present stating that due to the fire ban at this time there is no plans for brushing. When he is ready to move on clearing the trails he will contact us to let us know when so we can organize our heavy equipment volunteers like Mark Berg, Mick Steinman & Kenny VanAssche.

As the con side of this argument, it. When a person loses everything they have worked for it may affect them mentally. But what people don't know is that homelessness does not necessarily. Of course, the permanent subsidy is the only program where these costs recur for more than a year or two, so the costs add up.

Apparently, Taco Bell is being sued because they aren’t serving meat. I saw a headline, but everyone is getting sued these days and I didn’t pay attention. Last night, I asked Cheryl what she wanted for dinner and she said Taco Bell. After dinner, she tells me that Taco Bell is being sued because you can’t call something meat if it is less than 40% meat. The “meat” at Taco Bell is 36%. Lovely. Apparently, the rest is fillers and meat by products.
What in bloody hell is a filler? No, don’t answer that – I don’t think I want to know.
It dawned on me that Cheryl and I didn’t want to feed our dog (nor our cats) anything unhealthy. We read numerous ingredients on dog food packages until we found one that didn’t include fillers and meat by products as one of the first ingredients. However; we’re fine with eating them ourselves, apparently.
How screwed up is that?
Finally, a quote I saw on the Internet: “If you are what you eat, then I am fast, cheap and easy.”

I miss my late American Eskimo Dog, Skywalker. It has been more than two months since I took him on his last ride. It has been more than a month since I had to look into my grandsons’ eyes and tell them that Skywalker had gone to Heaven.
This past weekend, my three little guys came to visit and more than once, I had to answer the question, “Nana, where’s Skywalker?” Patiently, I would explain that Sky was in Heaven with God and Mr. Mann (our late cat).
I remember how Sky and I would play Hide N Seek. I would go outside and hide – sometimes in the front bushes, sometimes behind the garage or behind the house. Cheryl would wait a little bit and then let Sky out of the house with the command, “Go find, Mommie.” Sky would come racing out of the house, stop and quickly scan the area for any sight of me. He would cock his head and listen. If he couldn’t see or hear me, he would put his nose to the ground and begin hunting me down until he would discover me in my lousy hiding place. I’m sure that our neighbors must’ve thought we were all crazy.
On bright summer nights (and some winter ones), Sky and I would go outside and howl at the full moon. A neighbor once told me that she wondered what kind of neighborhood she had moved into when she heard Sky and I singing to the moon. I’m lucky no one called the cops.
Sky’s most annoying and, yet endearing quality was when he would bark. Oh, I don’t mean a bark or two hundred – he was an Eskie after all. Whenever he would break a rule – run away from me, not come when I called, get into the garbage; I would give him a lecture. I would make him sit in front of me and I would talk to him as if he was a five year old child and not a dog. He would sit quietly and stared – unblinking – at me. Sometimes, if the lecture went on too long, he might turn his head and yawn. When I was done with my lecture – which must’ve worked, as he wasn’t bad very often – I would turn away from him and very quietly, I would hear him go “Woof.” The little pain in the butt wanted the last word. Drove me nuts. If I turned back around, he would turn his head and look away, like he hadn’t “said” anything. I’d turn away again and “Woof.”
These memories of my smart (ass) dog came to mind while I was reading an article on Roadrunner News. The Washington Humane Society decided to conduct a

Chicago Pneumatic has introduced a new low vibration hammer that is ideal for everyday general mechanic, body shop and MRO (maintenance, repair and operations) applications.
There are two versions – CP7160 and CP7165 – that are comfortable to use and powerful, so operators can get their jobs done quickly and efficiently as well as reducing the risk of long-term injury.
The hammer is designed with an air cushion which reduces vibrations to just 4.37 m/s2 for the CP7160 and 3.26 m/s2 for the CP7165. The hammer’s vibration is low thanks to the inclusion of a vibration damped valve which creates the air cushion and thus minimizes shock.
The new hammer provides great handling and is well balanced since the handle is not positioned right at the back of the tool, and it easily rests on an operator’s hand. The entire back of the tool is covered by a rubber grip to prevent the hammer from slipping when it is in an operator’s hands, even if they are dirty or oily.
The powerful tool delivers eight Joules for the CP7610and 11 Joules for the CP7165, and the user can easily choose the required power for the application thanks to an easy-to-use adjuster. The power adjustment is positioned at the bottom of the handle and the operator can simply select from four settings.
Antoine Tourneux, Global Product Marketing Manager, Vehicle Service Air Tools, at Chicago Pneumatic said: “Repetitive and prolonged use of traditional pneumatic hammers can lead to injuries such as hand arm vibration syndrome, which is an entirely preventable, yet debilitating condition for the operator. At Chicago Pneumatic we take safety seriously, so wanted to design a new hammer that provides less vibration, and therefore less risk of injury to the operator, while at the same time ensuring they can work effectively.”

The Del Angels provide an interactive and high-energy performance as they re-create the 1960's Girl Group sound by singing the top hits of The Chantels, The Shirelles, The Marvelettes,
The Crystals, The Ronettes, The Supremes, and more!
The Del Angels strong leads and ringing harmonies have earned them
the opportunity to open for, and/or appear on the bill with, many of the original
groups and artists from the ’50’s and ’60’s, including:
Arlene Smith and Her Chantels, The Marvellettes, The Super Girl's Group, Barbara Harris and Her Toys, John Kuse and The Excellents,
Kenny Vance and The Planotones, Cleveland Still and The Dubs,
Larry Chance and The Earls, Eddie and The Starlites, The Rip Chords, The Majors, The Orlons, The Tymes, and The Dimensions.
In addition to the Girl Group hits, The Del Angels have recently added other popular '50's and '60's songs made famous by artists and groups such as:
Aretha Franklin, Etta James, Ruby and The Romantics, Spiral Staircase, Frankie Lymon, The Tokens, Lou Christie, Larry Chance and The Earls, Jay and The Americans, and The Four Seasons.
We plan on continuing to expand our repertoire, by adding some popular '40's female harmony group hits, some disco songs from the '70's, and perhaps even some Broadway tunes.
If you are looking for unique and outstanding entertainment for your next event, then look no further...because you have found it, in The Del Angels.

We spend most of our time at work, and our days are filled with tasks, thoughts, strategies, urgencies, and much more. What position or title you have does not always reflect the work quality you do, but your work environment does.
According to State of the Global Work Place analysis, 85% of people are not engaged at work, most people are actually actively disengaged.
The work environment is more important than we might reflect upon in our daily lives, but it effects both the company and the people who work there. For those people who are coming to work feeling disengaged or just not engaged, what kind of work are they getting done? And what will it take to have an actively engaged workforce?
I think most of us want to be part of a positive, inclusive and purpose-filled work environment. And since our colleagues are the people that we spend more time with than even our own chosen friends, and sometimes family, we owe it to ourselves to have colleagues that make us feel good. Getting actively engaged employees means that leadership needs to be engaging, and that everybody must be able to understand their purpose in the company. Diversity plays a big role in this.
Every year the ODA organization give the ODA award to a company that work to improve and preserve gender balance in the IT industry, and that is a role model to other companies to increase their gender balance too.
FotoWare was one of three finalists this year for our work in increasing gender balance and cultural balance. Within the company we increased our numbers with more than net 20% in the last 15 months. The reason we can achieve such numbers in such short time, is that our employees are actively engaged in the topic – not just HR, not just the women, not just the leaders, but everybody. We all want to come to work every day and make a difference in the lives of our customers, and to be able to continue to innovate and to do what we think will give our customers an advantage when they are using our products. To do that we need the best people, that can do their best work, ask the most challenging questions, challenge the status quo, break with tradition and most of all: make their fellow colleagues great along the way. In FotoWare we have exactly those people.
We didn’t win the ODA award; DNB deservedly won for their work on increased gender balance initiatives, and also for setting requirements to their own vendors and partners to get better gender balance in their organizations.
But we won anyway because our company consist of smart, caring, responsible, hardworking, passionate, accountable, innovative, unique women and men who make a difference at work every day. People that support each other, cheer for each other and want to succeed together.
I have the privilege to work in an environment like FotoWare – we have already won.

Today we will be exploring art and math by creating a collage made entirely by chance. Or was it?
This project is geared toward early childhood classes and young kiddos. It allows them to experiment and explore mathematical theories like probability. Although your little one may be too young to question whether randomness exists, we can certainly introduce them to the idea of making predictions and observing results using glue, yarn and paper!
- paper, card stock, cardboard or any other surface you will use to be your canvas.
- glue – liquid glue works best.
- collage materials – I used different lengths and thicknesses of yarn, thread, rope and tape. You can also use different types of paper. You can even use dental floss!
- art is messy – make sure you spread newspaper or a plastic garbage bag on your work surface
- lay your canvas down and cover with glue. I don’t paint the glue on because I’ve found that the collage materials need a thicker line of glue to adhere to the canvas.
- the application of the glue can also be “random” by squeezing the glue bottle and moving your hand around the canvas or squeezing and letting the glue drip where it will .
- once your canvas is covered to your liking, start by dropping your collage materials, one by one onto the canvas.
- try dropping the yarn or paper close to the canvas, from farther away or even stand on a chair and drop them onto the canvas placed on the floor!
The idea is that the collage materials will land where gravity takes them and so the result will be a collage that is determined by chance and not by the purposeful placing of the materials.
Once your collage is dry, you can preserve it by covering it with clear plastic wrap or paint on a coat of watered down white glue.
Project Extensions –
- can you predict where a piece of yarn or paper will land?
- does the placement depend on how thick or thin the material is?
- do you see any pattern in how the pieces landed or where they landed on the canvas?
- if you use yarn and thread, once dry your collage makes for a great sensory experience too. The glue and yarn make interesting textures!
Art History – Jean (Hans) Arp was an artist that was part of the DADA movement. One of his most famous artworks is; Untitled (Collage with Squares Arranged according to the Laws of Chance).

As one of the most significant contemporary artists and a professor at the Städelschule in Frankfurt am Main for many years, he has inspired generations of artists and to this day he remains a mentor for young artists. In an international context, Bayrle became known among other things thanks to his participation in the Venice Biennale (2003 and 2009) as well as documenta (1964, 1977, and 2012).
In his solo exhibition that reflects the MAK – Museum of applied arts / Contemporary arts, Vienna – Collection, Thomas Bayrle combines traditional craft techniques with the computer-generated art of the Information Age. Using the metaphors of dyeing, weaving, and programming, Bayrle explores the ambivalence of art, craft, and industry and gives rise to kaleidoscopic shapes—Mass Ornaments. Bayrle—who explores contemporary media—develops a narrative around the interaction between communication design, the individual, and society.

This blog post is the forth in a series of posts linked to the Evidence & Policy special issue (Volume 16, Issue 2) on Opening up evidence-based policy: exploring citizen and service user expertise. Guest Edited by Ellen Stewart, Jennifer Smith-Merry, and Marc Geddes.
Seventeen years ago, Diana Rose wrote that in mental health, user involvement was becoming ‘a technology of legitimation’ for reinforcing established powers. Seventeen years later, in examining some of the circuits and processors, Mazanderani and colleagues reveal how complex this ‘technology’ or machinery has become, and is still becoming. As though opening the doors of the machine room, the authors offer us a wealth of important insights and ideas. I’d like to share some thoughts on just a couple of them here.
I’m fascinated by the use of the term ‘lay’ when talking about patient and public involvement (PPI) in healthcare. I was brought up in the Catholic church, so my immediate association is with the ‘laity’, those who lack the religious authority and knowledge of the priestly class and cannot enter into their sacred space. The authors of the paper remind us that, in contemporary healthcare, ‘lay’ people are considered to be those ‘without academically-credentialised expertise in the topic at hand’, which is actually quite similar to what goes on in church. Medicine, like religion, has traditionally relied on boundaries and binaries that separate the doctor from the patient; the expert from the ignorant. In mental health at least, such boundaries are now being breached by those who have come to span them (such as service user/survivor researchers, peer support workers, therapists with lived experience and patient leaders), but efforts are still being made to rebalance the status quo.
Very recently, the National Institute for Health Research (NIHR) in England published a revealing information pack for ‘members of the public’ interested in joining health research funding committees. The document set out a number of eligibility criteria to distinguish between ‘patient and public’ and ‘professional.’ It stated that ‘to ensure we do not have an overlap of skills, knowledge and experience with our professional committee members, we exclude applications to public committee roles from people who have, or have had, a professional role in health or social care services or research.’
In outwardly responding to policy imperatives to include patients and the public in healthcare research, the NIHR seemed to be reasserting old binaries to permit this. The implied logic was that you cannot be both ‘patient’ and ‘professional.’ So, for the technology of legitimation to stay working, experiential knowledge and expert knowledge must remain separate and shouldn’t become cross-contaminated. Unsurprisingly, the document sparked some heated discussion among mental health service user and survivor researchers who have dual identities and possess compound knowledge and expertise. The authors of ‘Knowledge, evidence, expertise?’ ask us to consider how ‘hierarchies of knowledge, often associated with long-standing power differentials between experts and ‘lay’ people, continue to persist.’ They point to the need to focus on ‘how’ and ‘when’ ‘experience gets treated as knowledge’. In the case of NIHR funding committee member conditions, is the ‘how’ through the fortification of the fence between the knowledge classes and the ‘when’, when people understand their place on one side or the other?
While the NIHR’s intention to include ‘patient and public’ experience and expertise in their decision making was not an entirely bad one, the conceptualisation and execution was flawed. It’s possible that a similar situation could arise from the operation of ‘experts of experience’, that is, ‘experts of others’ experiences’, a new idea being brought to our attention in the paper. The authors describe ‘a growth of professionals specifically tasked with researching and managing people’s experiences’, and in this case, they point to conventional researchers, policy makers and health service workers. Of course, many such individuals will have sincere, personal motivations for doing so and share their power and influence equitably. But while remaining alert to the problems of ‘boundarising’, it might be useful to consider the emerging role of ‘allies’ in the context of mental health service user and survivor activism, particularly that led by survivor activists who Mazanderani and colleagues describe as ‘opinion leaders’ and who share their experiences in various ways, including ‘being active in online communities’ (some activists are becoming social media ‘influencers’, particularly on Twitter and other online platforms). While allies can play a vital role, such as supporting the foundation of the Mental Patients’ Union in 1973, we need to remain alert to some of the contemporary issues and complexities around solidarity and allyship. No matter how good their intention, there’s a risk that some allies will drift into becoming ‘experts of experience’ and speak on behalf of, or even over, those who they profess to support. Allies can be individuals or organisations, and we must remain conscious of types of individual and corporate allyship that can be described as ‘performative.’ In their thoughtful examination of being an ally to promote service user and survivor leadership, Happell and Scholz called for ‘allies to ensure their role is one of support and facilitation (doing what they can), rather than directing the content or speaking on behalf of the consumer [service user and survivor] movement (knowing their place).’ This is certainly something that I think ‘experts of experience’, ‘experts by experience’ and all those in between, should remain alert to as the technology of legitimation keeps evolving.

Over on the Felting and Fiber Forum, we’ve been talking about silk paper on and off over the last few weeks. It started when Pam showed us this gorgeous silk vase and then a beautiful silk box made from delicate silk hankies, threads and Angelina fibres. Then Karen was inspired to try making silk paper and after finding some silks work better with different methods, made some gorgeous pieces.
Once all the hard work had been done 😉 I thought I’d give it a go too. I decided to just jump in and try it with spray starch. I’d read a few years ago that it was possible to make silk paper by spraying a layer of silk fibres with laundry starch, adding another layer of silk fibres and spraying that, then covering with baking parchment and ironing until it was dried. Well, it’s almost that easy. It’s hard to get the spray from the can of starch onto the fibres without blowing them away, so it takes a bit of practice to get the spray to ‘drizzle’. I found it helpful to spray first, so after a few trials, I got an old piece of cotton cloth and layed it onto brown parcel paper, sprayed the cloth with starch, added a layer of silk, drizzled then sprayed starch onto that, then added more silk, more starch, then covered with another layer of cloth, another piece of parcel paper and ironed it on both sides until it was dry.
The results were mostly really good. A few times, the layers wanted to separate, but then I had two layers of finer silk paper. I used one of these thinner layers to test out the silk paper before I made more. You can see a photo of before felting here, and after felting here. These are some of the silk papers I made, they are mostly dyed mulberry and tussah silk.
I did a small trial piece of felt using the tufty bits from around the edges of the silk paper. From this, I realised I needed to use bolder colours for the background so the silk paper could stand out more for the result I wanted. For this second piece, I started off with a layout approximately 34.5 x 34.5 cm
It shrank a lot from top to bottom, and finished up roughly 22 x 33 cm. I didn’t particularly position the silk paper pieces so that the fibres were running top to bottom, and a lot were two layers, so I’m not really sure why there was so much uneven shrinkage, but I’d noticed it on the trial piece too. Both pieces had two even layers of merino tops.
There were a few pieces of the silk paper which were thicker or had a lot of starch on, which took a little more work to felt in, but as you can see from this angle, the silk paper felts in well to the surface.
Lyn from rosiepink recommended the book ‘Handmade Silk Paper’ by Kath Russon, so I’m hoping to have a read through that soon and try the wallpaper paste method of making silk paper. Have you made silk paper or paper from any other fibres? Do you use it in felting or something else? I’d love to hear about it or see photos if you have 🙂

One of my task has that ribbon at the top.
That got me confused: does that mean only the collaborators on the task see it, and not the project members? Well turns out the project members see it too… So what’s with that message then? What does that mean exactly? And what does “Make public” do?

Last fall I received an email from Runners World magazine announcing their inaugural Heartbreak Hill Half and Running Festival in Boston. They have been holding a similar running festival in late October in Bethlehem, PA for a few years. There are seminars, a pasta dinner with editors from Runners World, and races for everyone including kids and dogs.
Runners can choose from a 5K, 10K and half marathon. If you run both the 5K and 10K, they call it the Five and Dime. Running all three races is called the Hat Trick. The Boston festival was going to have the same format with the added attraction of running the famous Heartbreak Hill from the Boston Marathon course.
For me there was no way I was going to pass up this running festival. First, it was an inaugural event. There is only ONE inaugural event for anything and I wanted to be there. Next, it had those funny names – Five and Dime, and Hat Trick. Funatical runners like myself – runners who race to have a good time – are suckers for races with amusing names. Last, two of the races included Heartbreak Hill, the famous hill on the Boston Marathon course. The Boston Marathon is the only major marathon in the world that you have to qualify for. Even if I live as long as Harriette Thompson, the 91 year old marathon runner, I will never qualify for the Boston Marathon. This was my only chance to run on part of the most famous marathon course in the world, even if it was on the Heartbreak Hill. I had plenty of time to train for races in June so I hit the Register button.
The one thing about marathons is that there are typically many months between the time you register and when you toe the start line. Lots can happen in between. And unfortunately for me, it did. I suffered a concussion in an auto accident in February. For six weeks, per my doctor’s orders, I didn’t run a step. I started training again in late April with a personal running coach, Jenny Hadfield, but my training was not where it normally would be for a multi-race event like this.
When I arrived in Boston for race weekend on Friday and went to pick up my race bib at Boston College, I started to get a feel for the Newton hills. I was intimidated. I sent an email to my running coach with the subject line “Having a panic attack” (I figured that would get her attention) and asked her if I was ready for this Hat Trick thing. She replied “Absolutely” and gave me a strategy for the three races. With her reassurance, I looked forward to the next two days of running.
On Saturday I got through the 5K with no trouble. An hour later the 10K started. The 10K course was more hilly but I followed Coach Jenny’s advice – follow my body more than my watch; run down the hills where gravity would help with the work and walk up hills where I needed to. After finishing both races, I was surprised that my pace was nearly identical for the two races. Five and Dime done!
Before the start of the race on Sunday, I was still nervous. Then the horn sounded and we were off. I may have thought that I was not prepared for this race but the other runners that I saw as I ran put me in my place.
In the first mile I came up behind a man wearing a shirt that said “Colon Cancer 2009, Brain Cancer 2013, Tough to Kill, Harder to Stop”. He was doing pretty well and we ended up running a good bit of the race together. About a mile later, I came up behind a man wearing a shirt that said “Life Begins at 70”. I had seen him before the start lathering himself in something that smelled like BenGay or Tiger Balm. You could smell him from 20 feet away. When I got along side of him, I asked if he had started running when he was 70. He said he had – and now he was 76! I kept going and around Mile 4 I saw an attractive young woman with her blonde pony tail bouncing as she ran. She was running with a prosthetic leg. She had a big smile on her face too. Watching these three runners made me think. I really didn’t have a reason for a panic attack. These runners were facing more challenges than me and probably didn’t have a coach to email for reassurance.
Running on part of the Boston Marathon course gave me energy. These were the same streets that my running idols, like Meb Keflezighi and Joan Benoit Samuelson, have run. In my mind I was on hallowed ground. I finished the half marathon in the time that I wanted. My pace was nearly the same for all three races. In fact on Sunday, I was just a little faster. Hat Trick done!
When I was riding back to the hotel, the quote from Winnie the Pooh popped into my head:
“You are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think.”
I was brave enough to go to the start line three times in two days even though I was intimidated by the Newton hills and didn’t think I had enough training. I was strong enough to take on Heartbreak Hill and beat it – twice. I was smart enough to follow my coach’s race strategy and not let my fears cause me to make mistakes.
I may never run the Boston Marathon but the Heartbreak Hill Half let me experience just a little bit of one of the most prestigious marathons in the world.
P.S. If you think you would like to start running – even a 5K – check out Coach Jenny’s web site!

The Development Policy Forum (DPF) of the Brussels based Friends of Europe think tank together with the EU-wide policy journal Europe’s World has launched a special publication devoted to the subject of the global health policy in the EU. Professor Ilona Kickbusch, Chair of the Global Health Europe Task Force, was asked to contribute to this report with a short perspective piece on how the EU can create a global health policy worthy of the name. Professor Kickbusch argues that European countries, together with the European Commission, have an opportunity through the recently adopted Communication and Conclusions on the EU Role in Global Health to take the lead in shifting understanding of global health to include the provision of global public goods for health. This means developing strong and inclusive institutions for global health governance through strengthening and reforming the World Health Organisation.
Other senior stakeholders that contributed to this publication include WHO Director General Margaret Chan, EU Commissioner for Development Cooperation Andris Piebalgs. There is also commentaries from Global Health Europe Senior Advisor Professor Göran Bondjers, Save the Children’s Simon Wright who has been a member of the Global Health Europe task force, and the World Bank’s Armin Fidler, who has participated on a Global Health Europe organized panel at the 2010 European Health Forum Gastein.

E.D.B: In this edition we are also in the company of Mark Moodie. Mark is the driving force behind the web site Considera, which we recommend all of you to check out. Before all the readers dash to your web site, can you explain briefly what its purpose is?
M.M. The primary purpose of the site is to collect and make information available on the treatment of plants with dynamised remedies. It started from the ‘biodynamic’ agricultural work of Rudolf Steiner and Lilly Kolisko and then grew with cooperation from the likes of Glen Atkinson, Enzo Nastati, and Vaikunthanath Das Kaviraj. I was trying to find out if the positive reports that were around could be trusted. I did some of my own trials and realized that it would take a highly focused and dedicated lifetime to approach a secure answer to that question and build a discipline upon it. However, I thought that if many people were interested in compiling their experiences, there was a chance to get some really worthwhile indications.
Glen’s unsolicited testimonial for his frost protection was the report that really galvanized me into action and got me excited about the use of dynamised substances to treat plants, pests and even soils. The possibility of creating an effective tool for productive farming, and one that is not harmful to the environment, is something that needed to be tested, documented and shared.
Glen Atkinson has already convinced the market down-under of the efficacy of diluted substances and many of his preparations are used by those who don’t care about its creation – they just want something effective. Enzo Nastati in Italy is also working hard to clarify the theoretical aspect of the preparations and building upon this to induce some really remarkable effects on plants and soils. V.D. Kaviraj has found his inspiration within the pure Hahnemannian or classical homeopathic tradition and I’ve published his book- Homeopathy for Farm and Garden. I now am working with Glen to get his preparations available in the UK. We have them certified as ‘permitted inputs’ to organic and biodynamic and land. I also help with making his preparations in the UK and working to get the test information that clarifies their capacity. Glen is coming to the UK in 2009 and if people are around he is giving a public weekend course in Sussex from the 20th to 22nd February entitled “A Unified View of the Agriculture Course”. I am also studying with Enzo and have been translating his works into English. The big one on the desk is his commentary on Steiner’s original Agriculture Course. There are several books in English now and about 80 in Italian, but the main one Hpathy might be interested in is his ‘New Basis for Potentisation’. His preparations are only available to members of his Albero della Vita organisation and I’m helping get these from Italy to the UK. He works at cost with these, as it’s an ethical issue in the Steiner world of making what you need available at cost, and what is not necessary can be sold for profit – like the publications and a few other gadgets.
My website, Considera, is there to invite people from all over the world to share their experiences, whether they are positive or negative. I feel it may be very important that we bring all this knowledge together. This would then eventually constitute a database for dynamised substances for plants like the materia medica for homeopaths. You have 200 years of advance on us agro-‘homeopaths’. I hope that the web, with its ability to reach so many people, will make catching up go faster.
E.D.B. If you make a materia medica based on ‘cured symptoms’, this is very different from a materia medica based on proving symptoms. That makes me wonder whether the applications of ‘Belladonna’ for rust is more an ‘herbalist’ recipe than a homeopathic prescription for a plant, which should be by nature ‘individual’.
M.M. I was taught homeopathy by Misha Norland in the 1980’s, and was a med student for three years before that, so I have some exposure to the differences between a prescription based on the isolated symptoms and a prescription aimed at the context in which these manifest themselves. To really answer your question goes rather deeper than I would really like to go in a public space. The common ground of homeopathy and biodynamics and more orthodox scientific endeavour is, “Does it work on the ground?” That question is the one I am happy to work on in public and is Considera’s raison d’etre.
Considera is like a big experiment to find out what works and what doesn’t work, where we should direct our research and what directions appear fruitless. We may find out that Belladonna only effects plant rusts in certain cases. It seems that there are differences in plant reaction between the different continents: what works in one continent does not always work in another. It is a data accumulating project.
The more interesting side for me is to answer the question – how can an ultramolecular bit of water effect a farm? I am not happy with some quasi-material answer about the ‘nano-phase’ or ‘water clathrates’ etc. Coming to peace with this question and finding answers that are potentially satisfying is what needs to accompany the trials and data crunching, because it can feed back to improve the discipline and not abandon it to trial and error – but it really does cut one off from ones more orthodox scientifically-trained colleagues. So I do that elsewhere.
However, coming back to your question, it is from these other studies that one comes to some model of plants and the difference between them and humans, and then one can test the implications of this difference for treating a person in a different way from plants and soils. Sorry to be a little vague, but I guess I am a little protective of what is culturally publishable and what just brings more heat than light upon oneself. I’m sure most homeopaths know this dynamic.
E.D.B. From reading on the website Considera, it appears to me that the work of Glen Atkinson and Enzo Nastati has a very holistic nature to it. In human and veterinary homeopathy we know how important it is to know every little detail of the patient’s personal sensitivities in order to achieve a true homeopathic prescription. I suppose the same is true in agro- homeopathy, so how do you achieve this? We can interview a client when his animal is the patient. Can you interrogate plants? Can you interrogate a farmer to obtain information on his plants or land just as you would do this for the owner of an animal?
M.M. Well there has been some real success just applying preparations to single, readily identifiable syndromes. So we are having success with stinky slurry pits in the UK with the same remedy – Glen’s ‘BdMax E7’ for instance. We get much less smell and the pits lose their crust accumulation and the grass does not ‘burn’ when the muck is irrigated. However, this same remedy can also be used where there is a general lack of vitality in plants too. Another of Glen’s preparations – ‘BdMax ZeroIn’ has shown significant results bulking up roots but has also been successful in stopping fruit from splitting at the final maturation stage whilst allowing dry matter to increase and the Brix rating to climb too. So these are along the line of a ‘pill for an ill’ but that is, as much as anything, a way of trying to get the growers up and running without having to get too deep into non-standard science.
I guess another way is to try and accumulate the same amount of information for plant and soil homeopathy as for human or animal homeopathy. Interviewing the farmer is part of this. The information is gathered more from what might be called an alchemical point of view. This can be used as a second line if the first shot is not successful.
That is where the work of Hahnemann and Steiner meet. I have taken a little flak for this work not being ‘real homeopathy’ and, in a way, that is justified. However, I think it honours Hahnemann’s undoubted genius by not imitating him and assuming that he defined all the parameters once and for all. Rather I think that Considera’s work and its debt to Steiner comes from drawing on the same sources of inspiration as did Hahnemann. This is not something I can cover well in a brief interview – it would take us a long, long way down an interesting sidetrack – but is very stimulating and satisfying for me. Just as you have to learn a new language to understand and practice human/animal homeopathy in a reliable way, you can get further by learning a way of viewing Nature beyond a Linnean taxonomy, or physical-chemical assumptions – and thus learn to use a different filter to view the world. I would refer those interested to Goethe’s work on plants and Wolfgang Schad’s work on the animal world. It can be learned but there’s a little unlearning for most of us too.
I still expect a long battle ahead to win the hearts and – more so – the minds of those who find it difficult to accept that there are other ways to see the world around us than the reductionist, pure materialistic approach that has prevailed in the last centuries.
E.D.B. It was my impression that there must be another tool out there to enable good quality agro-homeopathy and that there was maybe a key in anthroposophic science according to Steiner.
M.M. Indeed, the work of Steiner is a secure place to start, but it’s not so simple to digest. It now works for me but I’m sure there must be other disciplines that would suit. And surely, there are others who are more lucky and this work would come naturally with a kind of green thumb. But yes, I would readily recommend Steiner’s work to anyone with deeper questions about this work.
E .D.B. Where would the homeopathy and agro-homeopathy communities benefit from each other’s work?
M.M. One connection point between the two is the fact that we work with some of the same principles when preparing our remedies. Actually, there may be something for homeopathic pharmacists to learn here. I know that Kaviraj has tried interesting variations and Enzo has written a booklet called ‘A New Basis for Potentisation’, which suggests some radical practices and interpretations.
Of course agro-homeopathy might also be a reliable field to prove the existence of the effects resulting from our remedy preparation techniques. It is difficult to conceive of orthodox scientists insisting that changes in plants and slurry pits are due to the placebo effect.
An important lesson that this new discipline can learn from homeopathy is that this should, in my opinion, remain ‘open source’. The benefit of this, is that this tool is not patented and in the hands of a few businesses for their shareholders’ gain. Actually that cuts two ways; it also means that there is no huge commercial pot from which to pay for the research. It means that it is done little by little, by amateurs, boffins and enthusiasts in between their commercially productive activities.
E.D.B. Thank you very much Mark for sharing some of your thoughts with us. During our interview you pointed out a number of exiting and successful uses of agro-homeopathy. I will direct the readers to your website where they can find the details. There is also a forum where they can discuss these issues with you. We hope your project will be successful. We are also grateful for the contribution you are making to bring our dynamised remedies into mainstream acceptance.

“Xiaojie, dinner is brought here. Please eat!” Yintao’s voice sounded from the treehouse next to her. Hua YuMan stood up and went to the other treehouse.
Dinner was very abundant. In such a special environment, dinner was five dishes and one soup so Hua YuMan had Yintao and QingQing eat with her. Because she saw the previous disgusting scene, her appetite wasn’t very good. She ate only a little bit. Then she holed up in her treehouse listening to QingQing talk about the Ancient City of Fengyue.
QingQing had been wandering everywhere previously so she had heard a lot about the Ancient City of Fengyue. Most rumors claimed that countless treasures were buried here. Anyone who held a little bit of hope had come here to look around. QingQing had even seen the treasures underwater. However, she couldn’t do anything even if she did see them because she also saw sea monsters. And there were lots of them.
“People die for money, birds die for food. Maybe the sea monsters were the pets the people of the Ancient City raised. It seems like the future won’t be very peaceful.” Hua YuMan could imagine that as long as someone dived underwater, someone would die. But this would not curb anyone’s enthusiasm.
“That’s true. Xiaojie, when I went to get the food earlier, I heard the guards say that someone who dived underwater an hour ago died. He was a swimmer from Hailan Kingdom. They tied a rope to him. When they pulled the rope up, there was only a pair of legs. Everyone is guessing that there are sea creatures underwater.” Thirteenth Wangzi was afraid the news would scare Xiaojie, so he didn’t let her say it. But hearing how Xiaojie was rueful, she said it all out loud.
“En. A lot of people will die every day in the future. We will not participate. By the way, you two rest early. Thirteenth Wangzi wants me to go fishing with him…”
To conserve her strength to go out with Li Yang at night, Hua YuMan also slept for a while. At Zi shi, she was awoken by Li Yang’s movements.

I’m back with another edition of our “Frequently Asked Questions about Marlboro Township. As I mentioned in my first video, these are questions that we often get asked at open houses and from prospective clients, and I love answering them. Because I really love talking about the town that I live in. The question i’m going to tackle today is: “How big is Marlboro Township?”
To answer this question, I am going to divide it into three parts:
- The People
- The Homes
- The Actual Size
So, let’s get started!
According to the most recent demographics data available from the Census Bureau released in December of 2019, Marlboro township shows it has 40,133 population, and as of 2017 Morganville had around 5,300 residents.
Are you wondering where all of these people live? There are almost 24,000 residences in Marlboro and Morganville. There are 16,564 homes in Marlboro and 7,187 in Morganville. This includes single family homes, condos and townhomes. They are all spread out into different areas and neighborhoods. They are building some new homes in the area, but those new builds are pretty few and far between. In terms of acreage, Marlboro is 30.3 square miles or slightly over 19,000 acres. That’s right, Marlboro is pretty big. That’s not counting the 5.4 square miles of Morganville.
There are many amazing things in Marlboro Township. There are walking, and biking trails , large amounts of sports turf, many different parks , a golf course and acres of protected and open space. There are plenty of trees and flowers everywhere. Marlboro and Morganville are gorgeous and vibrant communities but you know what? Those of you who are lucky enough to live here, already know that, you didn’t need to hear it from me. For those of you who don’t live here yet, come visit us! We’re certain that you’re going to love it and we hope that you’ll decide to stay.
If you want to stay up to date on all things Marlboro and Morganville , make sure you like my Facebook Page and instagram both at Monmouth County Dream Homes.
Do you have a question you would like me to answer? Have something awesome that you’d like to share about Marlboro Township? I’d love to hear from you; leave me a note in the comment section below.
Remember, if you or anyone you know is looking to buy or sell their home, please give me a call!
Thank you so much for joining me this week, i’ll be back next monday to talk to you about something else that has to do with Real Estate, Monmouth County or Marlboro Township!

March might be my least favorite soccer month of the year. It’s typically cold, rains quite a bit, and it’s always windy which is probably the most disruptive factor to any practice or game (especially down at the sod farm in Tuckahoe). Wind can be a serious factor in soccer (Seen on the video here), but player performance, fitness, and field conditions are all other things to consider when planning your practices. Bottom line is early Spring training sessions are as unpredictable as the weather and coaches need to be creative when planning practices because of it. Here are a few things I always consider before stepping on a wet pitch with a team that needs to knock the rust off.
Field Conditions: The first thing you should always think about it is what your field conditions are like. Did you walk the field prior to your practice? Do you know the size of the space you are actually able to use? All clubs in NJ are extra cautious of tearing up their grass fields in March. Our club actually canceled training 3/14 & 3/15 because of the rain fall we received. The fields looked like the picture on the right. So it imperative you figure out the space you are going to use, and limit repetition drills to preserve the bit of space you have, which leads me to my next suggestion.
Use as much space as possible and limit repetition drills: Every 20 minutes or so you should be changing the space on the field you are using. I work with our facilities quite a bit and it drives me crazy when I can tell exactly what a coach was doing the day prior! Be creative with your pre-session warmup or FIFA 11+ as this will wear down the pitch. Always Avoid Line Drills! Not only to protect the fields, but because look how bored those kids in the back. Kids early in the season need to maximize touches on the ball and free-flowing space to be creative and setting up cones for them to follow through 1 after another to me is a huge waste of time. At this point I’d say almost every kid in the State has a soccer ball, and if they don’t I am sure you supply the kids one as a coach. So have everyone with a ball at their feet for the majority of your early season practices, especially if your group is between 6-12 years old.
The first 20 minutes of every session the kids should have a ball at their feet. The exception here is with high level teams that are expected to do technical work outside of training sessions. However, 6-12 year olds need to regain confidence with the ball at their feet in early Spring and dribbling is typically my topic of choice for the first few weeks of every season because of it. Dribbling gives the player a sense of comfort with a ball at their feet and gives me a mentality to build upon. Keep the playing space open by limiting cones and maximizing the space the player can attack. You want players to change direction, find space, and accelerate into it by making their own decisions. Setting up a direct path they need to follow takes all these critical components of dribbling away.
Make it fun! The worst thing a coach can do is set a negative tone at the start of a season with boring practices. Don’t talk a lot, don’t over-correct or instruct, and let the players play. Mistakes will be ever-present and as coaches and as trainers we need to accept that in early Spring. The player knows when they did wrong, and give them time to correct it early on. If the problem persists over time, then we address it. So be positive, point out good soccer moments in your kids, and always greet your players looking like this guy…Embed from Getty Images

300mg CBD: Why Choose PremiumJane?
A few years ago if you told your friends and family that you wanted to start using CBD and were looking for a trustworthy and reputable company, they wouldn’t have a clue what you were talking about, and certainly wouldn’t be able to recommend a brand to buy. Today, everyone, including your grandmother is likely to have heard about CBD. Thanks to our CBD (300 mg) products, you can start slow on your CBD journey and gradually increase the amount you consume until you experience the wellness benefits you are looking for. Without a doubt, we here at PremiumJane offer the finest-quality CBD on the market.
CBD is all about finding what works best for you. While 300 mg CBD may work to help one person, another person may require a higher milligram amount. Essentially, it’s a matter of trial and error. Each and every person’s body is different, and different individuals may react differently to CBD. In other words, you just have to be able to listen to your body and understand when it’s communicating how it’s feeling. There are a variety of different factors that come into play when considering what milligram amount of CBD may work best for you.
This is why it’s typically recommended to start low and then work your way up to a higher amount, if necessary. A single dropper of our 300 mg CBD oil that is sourced from organic Kentucky hemp contains approximately 7.5 mg of full-spectrum cannabidiol extract.
Each CBD oil tincture is sold in a 30 mL size bottle and comes with a dropper. All our products are vegan-friendly, lab-tested, and grown organically to ensure that they are top quality. In addition, they contain less than 0.3% THC which means that they will never produce any kind of mind-altering effects – ever.
300 mg CBD Benefits
When it comes to the benefits of a high-quality CBD 300mg product like ours, it really comes down to individual and user perspective. This is our lowest-milligram option, and it’s the one that most newcomers will start out on when just beginning with hemp extract. CBD is great for supporting overall wellness, and if you’re looking to feel revived and refreshed (or are simply looking for an improvement in your day-to-day lifestyle), the PremiumJane 300 mg CBD is a fantastic option.
Remember, however, the importance of understanding that every person’s biochemistry is different, and therefore not everyone will experience the same effects from CBD. Once you start using our 300 CBD oil regularly, you’ll be able to see just the difference that a quality hemp extract can make.
CBD (300 mg): Effects
300 mg CBD effects can vary depending on the individual user. Since every person is unique, individual chemistry may play a role in determining your personal experience with CBD. There are a variety of different factors that come into play. Things like mode of consumption (oils are different than gummies, for example) and milligram amount may have an impact on your experience with CBD.
The ‘below-the-tongue’ method is commonly used when consuming for tinctures. You simply place a few drops of oil in your mouth (under your tongue) and hold it there for at least 60 seconds before swallowing. We really this technique may be a little cumbersome for some individuals, but it really is one of the best ways to consume experience the 300 mg CBD effects of this particular product.
Depending on the method that you choose to consume your CBD (you can also add it to food or drink), the bottle may last as little as a few days or as much as several months. What we can say is that all of our CBD products have a THC level below 0.3%, and thus will NOT produce any psychoactive effects. This means that CBD won’t leave you feeling “high.” (For more information, be sure to check out our dedicated FAQ section here on the site).
Premium Jane manufactures and produces our products using CO2 extraction methods to ensure that customers are offered some of the finest, cleanest, and most effective CBD oils in the industry. If you don’t like the taste of our Natural CBD, we do provide three other flavors to choose from: Citrus, Mint, and Mint Chocolate.
PremiumJane is a brand that you can trust. We understand the importance of maintaining a quality balance in your life, and we strongly believe that our products can offer the calm and relaxation that so many people are looking for.

Is a Roadshow Still the Most Viable Way to Land Startup Funding?
Conventional wisdom has it that a roadshow is crucial for startup fundraising. It gives you an opportunity to showcase your product, win over groups of investors around the country (and sometimes the world), and it helps raise enthusiasm about your concept.
But a big part of leading a startup is questioning assumed truths. Roadshows are stale, exhausting, and ineffective more often than they are a stunning success. Instead of wasting time, money, and energy dragging your representatives and your pitch from city to city, try thinking outside the box.
Here are three less conventional ways to rock your show without having to hit the road.
1. Take part in a pitching contest
Pitching contests give you more bang for your pitching buck. Instead of taking your pitch to numerous successive small gatherings and groups of investors, the much larger investment world comes to meet you in one place. You only make your pitch once, but to a great many people.
A pitching contest is essentially a large gathering of investors who are actively looking for new investment possibilities, ready to give money to a startup that makes a strong pitch with an impressive product. Pitching contests offer a big opportunity to score funding, but the pressure is high to get your pitch just right on the first (and only) try.
One great example of a recurring pitching contest is the Startup World Cup, which runs 40 regional events around the world throughout the year. At each event, judges choose one regional winner from ten handpicked startups, narrowing the field down to 40 candidates who compete in the semi-finals in the US, with 10-15 going on to the Grand Finale. At the finale, between one and five startups win investment from a range of angel investors, VCs, and US-based incubators.
This worked brilliantly for Leuko Labs, which won the 2018 Startup World Cup. Leuko Labs was born at MIT, and won $1m of funding from Pegasus Tech Ventures, Good Growth Capital, Nina Capital, and more, for their non-invasive white blood cell monitoring product. Upon winning the contest, Carlos Castro-Gonzalez, Leuko’s CEO and co-founder, was exhilarated. He talked about his original vision for the company, putting devices for non-invasive white blood cell monitoring in the hands of everyone who stands to benefit from this innovation. Winning the pitch contest, he said, would finance the company’s “ongoing development and clinical studies of our platform technology, to ultimately turn this vision into reality.”
2. Hold a virtual roadshow
Distance conferencing tools have been improving rapidly over the last decade, making virtual roadshows far more appealing. With new fears of a global pandemic reducing travel, everyone is embracing distance communication instead of the costs, time, and energy of traveling to meet face-to-face, and that applies just as strongly to the VC and startup world.
Instead of physical travel, startups can use next-gen interactive video conferencing and webinar tools to run online face-to-face meetings that allow you to give your total attention to potential investors, incorporate the multimedia presentations you might otherwise show in an “in real life” meeting, and receive live feedback. Virtual roadshows can even go one better than the “real” thing – with a virtual meeting, you can walk investors through your premises to show them all the resources and equipment that set you up for success, which you can’t do on a roadshow.
This strategy worked like a charm for Polish film studio Studio Panika, a “sharing economy” startup which used the ClickMeeting platform to connect with equity funding investors and give them a virtual tour of their studio floor, sharing the atmosphere and attention to detail of the studio that they couldn’t take with them on the road.
As Studio Panika CEO Oskar Kaszyński found, you can run a virtual roadshow from anywhere and connect with potential investors from the other side of the world, even if they can’t travel to you. “I had a lot of traditional, face-to-face meetings, but I couldn’t meet with all of them personally because they were located all around Poland and around the world,” he said. And because he was able to nurture relationships intensively before the pitch meetings, he was able to receive investments from 90% of the contacts he pitched to.
3. Take part in an accelerator
Accelerators support entrepreneurs to develop their ideas and overcome challenges, but they also extend practical help to find funding. Participants can and should take advantage of the connections that accelerators have with worldwide VCs, angel investors and funding networks. Accelerators are often set up by venture capital funds themselves, in order to nurture and look out for rising stars for investment.
The practical support that an accelerator provides in terms of refining concepts and preparing pitches also helps startups to present themselves well to potential investors and draw on other funding channels.
One startup that benefited from a boost by being part of an accelerator is Leanplum, a startup in the ecommerce marketing space that was part of the Techstars accelerator in Seattle. As well as delivering technical support, guidance, and help refining their concept, Techstars helped Leanplum to create a pitch video that landed the company major exposure on trendy platform AngelList. The company’s leadership believes that this one piece of content played a key role in the round they went on to close.
“After demo day we got highlighted on AngelList as one of the top-trending startups. A big reason for this was our demo day video,” said Andrew First, Leanplum’s CTO and a co-founder. “The Techstars videos are so professionally made, and the pitches have been practiced dozens of times, literally. That made a big impact.”
Classic roadshows aren’t the only path to startup funding
It’s time to get more creative about connecting with investors and pitching to VCs by using virtual pitches to showcase your startup; making the most of your pitch by presenting it to a larger crowd at one time; and taking part in accelerators that bridge the gap between your startup and funding sources.
To a great degree, leading a startup is all about disrupting the market, introducing new ways to resolve pain points, and thinking creatively, but thinking seems to have fossilized around the traditional roadshow approach.

Worst Vacation EVER | Bahamas Vlog & Recap
My dream vacation becomes a nightmare in a series of TRUE events including a terrible illness and a week long stint in the hospital.
This video was a fucking STRUGGLE to record, but here it is! Probably the most depressing vacation video ever... You're welcome!
The Bahamas was (were?) beautiful, regardless of anything. I hope I get to go there one day and actually enjoy the beach! :)

Wolverhampton Wanderers must stump up or they face missing out on Japanese winger Shoya Nakajima.
The president of Portuguese club Portimonense, Rodiney Sampaio, recently claimed Wolves were interested in signing Nakajima in the January transfer window.
Sampaio said ‘Nakajima is 80 per cent at Wolverhampton’.
He explained: “There has been a conversation, but it is not yet 100 per cent finalised, but it is possible already in January. What is at issue is the payment of the entire termination clause or not, so it has not been finished. Nakajima is 80 per cent at Wolverhampton.
“It’s a great sporting loss for us. Nakajima is a great player, he has adapted very well to Portimonense. We’ll all regret his departure, the squad but also the fans. It turns out we had no chance of holding him.”
He’s now said Nakajima’s proposed move to Wolves hasn’t progressed.
Speaking to Portuguese newspaper Record (via Sport Witness) , Sampaio said: “I said last week that there was a 20 per cent gap to close the transfer of Nakajima to Wolverhampton and since then no step has been taken.”
Nakajima has scored five times in 12 Primeira Liga matches this season and reportedly has other clubs chasing his services.

Marketing plan–two words that shiver the timbers of many a writer, both published and published-in-waiting.
It’s a topic that deserves more than one blog post. But it doesn’t have to call for antacids and prescription painkillers. Putting together a meaningful* marketing plan may seem like felling a mighty redwood. Perhaps a bad example, since 82-90% of redwoods are protected against harvesting. But any tree can be…pardon the pun…whittled down to size using the right tools and techniques.
*Meaningful in this case means a plan that makes a positive impression on an acquisitions editor or marketing director.
Just for today, everyone reading this blog is an acquisitions editor. You have forty thousand (only a slight exaggeration) proposals waiting for your decision. A hundred of the forty thousand are good. Twenty are excellent. You have publishing slots for five of the twenty. Which ones will move forward in the process? Note: May substitute temporary agent for acquisitions editor for today’s discussion.
You open the proposal. Hmm. Interesting concept. Nice job following the guidelines. Intriguing author voice. Platform? Not bad. Comparables? Adequate. Marketing plan?
The debut author wrote:
If asked, I’ll be more than happy to appear on the Today Show to talk about my book.
I will go on a book tour of all the bookstores in my county.
I’m pretty sure all the authors in my critique group will purchase a copy of this book.
The book is likely to be purchased in bulk by most churches.
And, yeah, I’ll cooperate with whatever the publisher’s marketing department creates for me.
You–the acquisitions-editor-for-a-day–sigh. Deeply. And slide the proposal to the Rejection Pile. Why?
It borders on arrogance to assume a book will interest any television producer, much less a major morning show. Does it happen? Yes. Often? No. What if the author had said (truthfully), “I discussed the book with the producers of the Today Show when I served as an intern at the studio last year. I’ve received endorsements from two of the directors. And I was invited to appear on the show the week the book releases”? Bingo! Specific. A supportable assumption. And a legitimate invitation rather than a pipe dream.
The author assumed a tour of the bookstores in his/her county constituted a marketing plan. But editors are looking for wide-reaching endeavors. They expect to see efforts that are likely to net significant sales of the book, not six here and twelve there. What if the author had said, “I speak to audiences of 500-1,000 several times a month”? What if the author included this: “Because of my connections as president of the National Association of Grief Counselors, I can reasonably expect to promote the book at our annual convention with 14,000 in attendance”?
The author used sales to a critique group as part of the marketing plan? Publishing houses look for plans to reach readers, not other writers, unless the book is about the craft of writing. And unless the critique group is 10,000-strong, mentioning them in the plan is counter-productive.
Assuming a book will be purchased in bulk by “most” churches fails as a plan on multiple levels. A writer’s own church isn’t a guaranteed sell. Churches rarely buy in bulk unless their pastor or a renowned leader in the Christian community (or C.S. Lewis) wrote the book. The statement again borders on arrogance and presumption. Only a handful of authors have that kind of clout.
Listing “I’ll cooperate with the publisher’s marketing department” is a sure sign of an amateur writer. Cooperation is expected. The marketing plan section of a proposal is an opportunity for the publisher to see what the author will bring to the table.
So, taking off your paper acquisitions editor hat and replacing it with your bad-hair-day-writer’s-best-friend-baseball-cap, how can you make strides in strengthening the Marketing Plan section of your book proposal.
THINK CREATIVELY in your marketing plan.
Don’t assume the creative work is only reserved for writing the book. Allow yourself to think creatively when putting together this element of the proposal. What talking points from your book would make interesting guest blog posts, speaking topics, interview subjects? How can you capitalize on your networks, your built-in audience, your unique gifts? Is your theme tied to an upcoming major anniversary or event? How can technology’s advances play into your designs to reach a wide audience?
BE SPECIFIC with your marketing plan.
List your upcoming speaking events. If you have significant connections on a regional or national level, name them. If you plan to use downloadable images related to the book, get specific about their purpose and who you can reasonably expect to reach with that offer.
BE REALISTIC when preparing your marketing plan.
Dream big. Pray big. But don’t make empty promises. Make your plan grand, but doable.
MAKE THE MARKETING DEPARTMENT SMILE.
If after reading your proposal, the editor and marketing department feel like you have a good grasp of what it takes to reach readers, that you’re invested, and that you’re a team player, your proposal may hopscotch over others that are less likely to impress marketers.
You’re an agent or an acquisitions editor again. What advice would you give an aspiring writer about creating a meaningful marketing plan?

Find out about their properties and how to measure it.
What are the normal ranges?
We invite you to read our information on the subject.
So far we have learned a lot about cholesterol. We already know what cholesterol is, how it is produced and its effects on our health. However, today we are going deeper into the subject and focus on HDL cholesterol (HDL-C), also known as the “good cholesterol”.
As we have commented in other articles of our website, cholesterol is a fatty substance present in all the cells of our body and where we can identify three different types of cholesterol, also called “lipoproteins”: VLDL, LDL and HDL.
But what are lipoproteins? Well, is cholesterol attached to the proteins, on which it travels through the blood. It is something like fat plus protein, and this is where our topic comes from today: High Density Lipoproteins or HDL.
These lipoproteins are responsible for transporting cholesterol from the tissues and arteries of our body back to the liver in order to excrete them. That is why it is called good cholesterol, because it eliminates the excess of cholesterol present in our body.
However, this does not mean that it is good to have high levels of this lipoprotein, since it has not been proven that its high values can prevent cardiovascular diseases.
How does it work
HDL lipoproteins are the smallest and densest, and are composed largely of proteins. The liver is responsible for synthesizing these lipoproteins as empty proteins and, once they “collect” cholesterol from tissues and arteries, they increase in size as they circulate through the bloodstream.
To date there are no conclusive studies on the benefits of having high concentrations of HDL (more than 60 mg / dL), nor has it been possible to link low HDL levels with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD). This is because HDL levels says very little of our health if taken alone, hence the importance of considering LDL, triglycerides and total cholesterol levels to make a more accurate diagnosis. In addition to considering factors such as sex, age, race, family history, among others.
For example, it should be considered that men tend to have a lower level of HDL than women. Also, the consumption of alcohol, the food we eat and some vitamins influence the plasma concentration of HDL cholesterol.
Other factors that affect the levels of this lipoprotein are physical activity, treatments with some medications (such as estrogens) and tobacco.
According to a study published in the journal Science (2016), some people have an alteration in a gene that prevents the functioning of the SR-BI receptor, a protein that adheres to HDL cholesterol that circulates in the blood.
Specifically, those suffering from this alteration in the SR-BI gene can not absorb HDL cholesterol in the liver and, therefore, there is evidence of a considerable increase in the level of this lipoprotein in the blood.
But that’s not all, because despite having high concentrations of HDL cholesterol, these people have a higher risk of atherosclerosis and other cardiovascular diseases.
HDL cholesterol levels
According to the American Heart Association there are 3 ranges with which it is possible to qualify the HDL cholesterol concentration.
Less than 40 mg / dL: Low HDL cholesterol, so there is an increased risk of heart disease (less than 50 mg / dl in the case of women).
Between 40-59 mg / dl: Medium level of HDL cholesterol.
More than 60 mg / dl: High level of HDL cholesterol. This would be the optimal condition to prevent heart disease.
High levels of cholesterol in blood do not show any kind of symptom, that is, it does not hurt. Reason why a large part of the population does not know that they have high cholesterol and are prone to cardiovascular diseases.
Without going any further, CVD is the leading cause of death worldwide, so it is essential to start paying more attention to our cardiovascular health.
To be less likely to suffer a CVD is important that you hydrates well, prefer foods rich in fiber, vitamins and minerals. Take out ultra-processed and high-sugar foods from your diet, you will see that in a short time you will feel much better, especially with more energy.
Remember that the only way to measure your cholesterol levels is through a blood test also known as a cholesterol test, lipid profile or lipid panel.
And if you discover that you have high cholesterol, you can turn to Cardiosmile. This is a natural product that has no fat, sugar, sodium, gluten or lactose so everyone can consume it and help reduce their cholesterol and triglycerides *.

I was 7 months pregnant and rather large and in charge when Halloween came around. I was trying to think of a clever costume that would take advantage of my big belly and that wasn’t something that EVERY pregnant person has done.
So I had the robe and the hat, they were gifts from my aunt. I wore my plain black maternity pants and a long sleeved shirt underneath so I was warm. I wore white socks with flip flops to match. I put sneakers on later because it gets cold here in MN. It is hard to see in the pictures but I used black eyeliner and made wrinkles near my eyes, and colored in my eyebrows to match my stache. The mustache I purchased at my local Halloween store. For my hair I pulled back for most of the day.
Everyone at worked loved this Confucius Mother to Be Costume and I even won Most Creative for our costume contest. For an added detail if you can recite some of Confucius’ wise sayings it adds a nice touch.
