 and consumer culture is leading us to believe that our consumerism changes will make the biggest difference,” said senior musical theatre major and Eco-Rep Alison Fisher. “But in the end, it’s going to require changing the system and holding brands accountable for their environmental impact from their emissions to the way they use or abuse their internet platform,” she continued.
Big change is risky for businesses, so in today’s society, it is safest to follow along with the movements, but not stand up against the system that creates the source problems. Waves of change and conversation are easy to hide behind and it’s not difficult to get caught up in what that means.
Social media is a tool that is absolutely essential to the climate conversation and has already made major changes in our global reactions, but it must be used intelligently. Simply clicking on articles and signing petitions is not going to save our planet. Ordering a reusable straw from halfway across the world to cut out single-use straws is not going to save our planet. We all have to be conscious of what our online interactions actually mean – who is providing funding? What am I actually supporting? And think about what actions we can take to get up, get out and change the world.
Because there is no Planet B.

Eco-RepMasseter muscle activity in diagnosed sleep bruxists compared with non‐symptomatic controls

SUMMARY  All‐night polysomnographic recordings were made of clinically diagnosed sleep bruxists (n= 23) and non‐symptomatic controls (n= 6). The total duration of masseter contraction (MC) episodes during sleep was 11.6 minutes per night in bruxists and 6.6 in controls (P < 0.01). The mean frequency of MC episodes was 11.0 per hour of sleep in bruxists and 6.4 in controls (P<0.05). The mean relative amplitude of MC episodes reflecting clenching strength was 0.81 in bruxists and 0.56 in controls (P <0.01). The percentage distribution of mixed and phasic MC episodes was 94% among bruxists and 88% in controls. The remaining activity was classified as tonic in both groups. The subclassification of rhythmic jaw movements (RJM), defined as three or more separate rhythmic contractions during MC episode were also evaluated. The frequency of those MC episodes with RJM was 3.6 per hour of sleep in bruxists and 1.1 in controls (P < 0.001). The difference in the relative amplitude between the two study groups suggests that the amount of clenching force is the primary factor responsible for the harmful effects of sleep bruxism on the masticatory apparatus. The most significant difference was seen in those phasic and mixed MC episodes which also included the subclassification of rhythmic jaw movement. The result suggests that relative amplitude and rhythmicity of MC episodes can be used as a basis to confirm the diagnosis and to evaluate the treatment effects of suspected sleep bruxists.Useful videos to get you started The following four videos will guide you step-by-step through the process of signing up for a TPS Screening account, verifying your email address, uploading and screening a file and downloading your results.

Although I hate the coding problem questions, I have come to appreciate their succinctity. In 45 minutes, they test technical knowledge, familiarity with language constructs, how carefully you read a question and/or ask for clarification, how you test and debug, and so on.

If you mess up the 45 minute coding question, oh well, move on to the next company. If you spend hours working on some take-home assignment and the company rejects you, that's a lot of sunk time.

I've had this happen to me. I thought I understood their take home assignment. I got it working on my own dev environment. But when I sent it to them, they claimed it didn't compile. I have no idea what the issue was, and I never will; they just flunked me out of the interviewing pool, and I wasted those 3-5 hours for nothing.Tonight I am grateful for getting my workout in. Working out tonight saved me from binging. I’ve been having a tough time lately getting my binges under control.
Last week I went through a bag of bagels and hamburger buns in less than 2 days!! WTF!
HAMBURGER BUNS?!?!
What in the hell is that all about? I mean really. Come on!
Tonight I kept thinking about the mini-marshmallows and Frosted Flakes downstairs. I was going to heat up the marshmallows and mix them together. Om nom nom nom.
Um, gross. Really, Aimee that’s just gross. Get your shit together.
Somehow I got up the strength to go work out. I’m still having pain when I run from where my gallbladder was removed. So I only got to run a good 4 minutes. Boo. BUT, I still got in 2 miles from walking. I also did a little boxing and some weights.
By the end of that I could’ve cared less about those damn marshmallows. In fact, when I came in the house I threw the bag away. I almost ate just one but I didn’t. Just one is how it starts. Yea, they are fat free but that’s not my problem. My problem is that I’ll end up eating the entire bag in a matter of a few days. I just can’t keep certain foods in my home.
So I ended up making one of those Yoplait smoothies instead. I LOVE those and they are HEALTHY!
I feel so proud of myself for these little accomplishments today. As my therapist tells me I have to take it one day at a time. When am I ever going to get that through my head? lol
Anyways. That is all I wanted to share. Chuy and I are off to dream land. Night Night.
xoxo,

Awesome job! Gotta celebrate your victories along the way!
And I totally know the feeling! I ate an entire pint of B&J the other night… hadn’t planned on it but once I started I didn’t feel like stopping. 🙁
Good job. One day at a time is all you can do!The Mirage of the US in modern Italian Literature and picture explores using photos linked to the us in Italian novels and movies published among the Nineteen Eighties and the 2000s. during this examine, Barbara Alfano appears on the ways that the participants portrayed in those works – and the intellectuals who created them – confront the cultural build of the yank delusion.

Swisher trying to stay calm and let the hits come • 04.28.11
To some extent, everyone knows Nick Swisher. The guy wears his personality for everyone to see. It’s easy to tell when he’s happy — which is most of the time — and it’s easy to tell when he’s frustrated.
Lately, at the plate, he’s been frustrated.
“Maybe I’m handling it in the wrong way,” he said. “But I think the past couple of days I’ve really, really been in that cage trying to get that feel back.”
Swisher is hitting.208 with only two extra-base hits, neither of which is a home run. He’s walked once and struck out seven times in the past four games. When he starts trying to force himself to break out of something like this, “that’s when I suck,” he said.
“This past week, that homer’s really, really been in the back of my mind,” Swisher said. “And I think I’ve tried really hard and a lot harder to try to make that happen. Obviously that’s not working. I’ve got to go back to that mindset of just trying to get base hits, and then the next thing you know, you start getting a little more extension and the home runs come. A lot more games left to play, man.”
It’s easy for an athlete to tell himself to relax, and it’s even easier for an outsider to tell him to relax, but players start pressing when they get off to a slow start. It happens. Swisher seems to have been pressing the past week or so.
The past two days, he’s been on the field with Kevin Long for early batting practice. Yesterday, even though there was a left-handed starter going against the Yankees, he was working on his left-handed swing because that’s given him the most trouble (he’s actually hitting.458 right-handed). If you listen to the audio below, you’ll notice that Swisher doesn’t sound like a guy who’s still tense
