An explosion in online transactions and smart point-of-sale software has made retail businesses a clear target for cyber adversaries. The sheer volume of credit card and personally identifiable information present on retail systems encourages attackers to rapidly monetize hacked data on a huge scale.
You already know that payment card, voucher, and loyalty scheme information is being traded by cybercriminals. With access to intelligence from the dark web forums where these threat actors operate, you can uncover and mitigate these attacks.
The systems that process payments for your customers are more connected than ever. It is crucial that you keep these POS systems protected from emerging threats. Monitoring for exploited vulnerabilities targeting your hardware gives you relevant intelligence and unrivaled visibility.
Retailers that follow the latest PCI compliance standards to protect e-commerce credit card data have only built a baseline defense against cybercrime. With your competition only a click away, any type of breach could cause your brand reputation and subsequent sales to spiral downward. To be proactive, you need to invest in an intelligence strategy aimed at staying ahead of cyber threats. | 2019-04-18T16:15:40Z | https://www.recordedfuture.com/solutions/retail/ |

Varicose Veins are veins under the skin that have become abnormally dilated. These veins can often be felt through the skin. They can take a winding path under the skin and bulge giving a “rope” like appearance. Varicose veins usually become more prominent with standing and can decrease in size with elevation. The most common reason these veins become dilated is because of pressure exerted on the walls by the accumulation of blood due to insufficiency within the vein. Insufficiency occurs when valves within the vein, that usually prevent backflow of blood, no longer functions.
Blood is then allowed to accumulate within the vein which increases the pressure which then dilates the vein. They are more often a cosmetic concern. However, they can cause discomfort and may be associated with venous insufficiency to the larger veins of the leg. Varicose veins can sometimes be associated with itchiness or eczema. People with these veins that have associated venous insufficiency may have leg swelling. As a progression of vein pathology occurs in some people, patients may develop skin discoloration.
In severe cases of venous insufficiency, one can develop ulcers of the skin. In most cases, however, varicose veins are not a serious condition. This is why they are often considered more of a cosmetic issue and not a serious medical issue. The most common cause of varicose veins is probably related to genetics. If your mother happened to have varicose veins, there is a 40% chance will develop them. If your father had them, the incidence increases to 70%. Varicose veins can commonly occur during pregnancy, however, occur equally in men as they do in women.
Obesity and prolonged standing has also been known to exacerbate varicose veins. Often patients experience improvement wearing compression stockings when standing or with elevation of their legs. It is often recommended that people who suffer from varicose veins elevate their legs for 15 minutes 3 to 4 times per day to help relieve symptoms.
Surgical treatment of varicose veins can vary to simply treating the more superficial veins with excision (microphlebectomy) or sclerotherapy to additionally treating insufficient veins deeper under the skin. These insufficient veins may not be visible to the eye. If these veins that supply the varicosities are left untreated, recurrence is not uncommon. Examples of veins that may be contribute to varicose veins in the legs if they are insufficient include; the greater and lesser saphenous veins as well as the anterior and posterior accessory vein of the thigh.
This is why it is important to assess the veins that may not be visible to the eye when planning treatment. Ultrasound and vein lights are often used to evaluate veins not visible to the eye. | 2019-04-23T22:11:29Z | https://protaclinic.ca/vein-treatment-center/varicose-veins/ |
Lionel Bringuier has a deep understanding and passion of music that has marked him as an outstandingly talented conductor, described in Standpoint Magazine as being at the forefront of a “podium revolution”, leading a “perceptual change of what musicians and audiences may expect of a music director”.
Bringuier is the Chief Conductor designate and Music Director of the Tonhalle Orchestra in Zürich, beginning in the season 2014/15. In the 2013/14 season, he will make a number of notable debut and return appearances with orchestras including the Los Angeles Philharmonic, with whom he developed a strong affinity during a six year tenure as Resident Conductor under the direction of Esa-Pekka Salonen and Gustavo Dudamel.
The 2013/14 season will see Bringuier conducting the Frankfurt Radio Symphony Orchestra, Swedish Radio Symphony Orchestra, L’Orchestre Philharmonique de Radio France and the BBC Symphony Orchestra, alongside his anticipated return to conduct the Los Angeles Philharmonic. Bringuier will also make debut performances with orchestras including the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra, the San Francisco Symphony and the Vienna Symphony Orchestra.
With an enthusiasm for 20th and 21st century repertoire, Bringuier regularly conducts the works of living composers, and this season will include a notable performance of Marc-André Dalbavie’s Flute Concerto with the BBC Symphony Orchestra. He will also conduct Lutosławski’s Chantefleurs et chantefables with the Swedish Radio Symphony Orchestra, celebrating the composer’s centenary.
Bringuier made his BBC Proms debut at the age of 23 with the BBC Symphony Orchestra at the Royal Albert Hall, performing Roussel’s Symphony No. 3. A DVD of this performance was produced by Bel Air Classiques and was released in March 2013 to great acclaim. Bringuier will also release a CD later this year with L’Orchestre Philharmonique de Radio France for Virgin Classics. The recording features Saint-Saëns’ Violin Concerto No. 3 with Renaud Capuçon, along with La Muse et la Poète, performed by his brother and cellist, Gautier Capuçon. Lionel’s first CD release featured a performance of Vincent d’Indy’s Symphony No. 1 in A minor “Italienne” & Concert pour piano, flute, violoncelle et cords op. 89, with the Orchestre Bretagne, and soloists Brigitte Engerer, Magali Mosnier and Marc Coppey.
Having dedicated his early musical life to the cello studying at the Paris Conservatoire with Philippe Muller, Bringuier began his conducting studies with Zsolt Nagy in 2000. It was the conductor’s complex awareness and comprehension of music that struck Nagy so particularly, and is an attribute that continues to mark Bringuier as a distinctive and remarkable artist. In addition to his studies with Nagy, Bringuier has participated in master classes with Peter Eötvös and Janos Fürst. | 2019-04-20T17:25:02Z | http://almachamberorchestra.com/en/the-conductors/lionel-bringuier-2014-15.html |

You are marketing your content and listings on social media but what more can social media do for your real estate business? The answer - BRANDING. We take a look at how to use branding on social media to promote your business.
With so many real estate franchises and independent agencies using Twitter, Facebook, Instagram and LinkedIn it is easy to become lost in all the noise if you don’t have a strong brand presence.
As a franchise you are already geared towards using brand presence to your advantage if you know how, but independent agencies shouldn’t feel discouraged - building your brand online is easier than you think with these tips.
There are three basic tips: stick to brand colours, maintain consistency, leverage cover photos.
As mentioned before, franchises come with the advantage of already having a brand identity which includes a colour scheme. Now it might seem a little trivial but colours are the most important part of your social media branding.
Think about your favourite brand - it has a distinctive look and feel, whether you see it in a store or on a billboard or on television advert - that is what you are trying to create online for your real estate business.
For most brands, less is more - if you are choosing colours for your independent agency stick to two colours for your brand. If you are part of a franchise stick to the most prominent colour in your branding to use on your social media channels.
The secret ingredient of branding is consistency. You have chosen the colours and you are using it across your channels but consistency is much more than just using the brand colours.
These are the small details that add to your online brand presence and will help you translate it into real-world recognition.
Entegral can help here by ensuring your brochures are always aligned with your branding and ties in with your responsive Flex website.
That blank strip at the top of your social media profiles is not just a place for a pretty picture - that is free advertising space! It is usually the first thing people see when they open your profile and it is therefore important that no matter what you post it is still a coherent part of your branding.
Cover photos can emphasize your slogan, boast with new listings, showcase the community you work in or even celebrate festive occasions. Whatever you choose to do with your cover photo remember to keep it within brand colours and consistent!
They are using their cover photo to promote their product by keeping it within brand colours and consistent!
Keep it simple and your social media channels will soon reflect your brand with ease! | 2019-04-26T02:25:15Z | https://blog.entegral.net/2017/03/tips-on-how-to-align-your-real-estate.html |
Willie picked up his handle from riding the rails more than ten years and never leaving the west coast. He once caught the wrong train and ended up in Nevada, but that was purely accidental. Willie prefers to travel up and down the coast from Mexico to Canada. If you want to drink with West Coast Willie, bring your own bottle; he don't share. Willie is well known around the train yards and even tolerated for some unknown reason.
Pete is the sweetest smelling hobo you will ever meet; he will take a bath when it aint even Sunday. Back in the days, he had a way with the young ladies; nowadays, it is mostly the larger ladies who can really cook. (It all comes down to priorities). Pete has a habit of leaving town on short notice; seems that putting on another man's feedbag can be a dangerous sport. | 2019-04-23T06:42:32Z | http://www.hobosinwood.com/hobospg6.html |

Yes, there are sensible folk here in Indonesia, and a lot of them live on the Isle of the Gods, Bali, where I’ve gone for a break almost every year since i came to this fine country.
The story on that interesting Bali website I often use concerns the latest demented outburst from the Jew-hating fanatics of the Hizbut Tahrir. I quote – Accusing the contest of “selling women’s bodies” the Hizb ut-Tahrir Group is vowing to hold demonstrations against the contest.
Such idiotic intolerance – just what this lovely above had to face when she visited West Java a year or two ago. The pig-ignorant Islamists there didn’t appreciate her feminine charms – do any readers reckon she’d look better as a bag-head?
Disgusted Balinese might well teach the sectarian freakos a hard lesson in tolerance.
Hard-line Islamist groups seemingly find any public celebration of female beauty as offensive and immoral and are saying they will settle for nothing less than the cancellation of the event. The Islamic Reformist Movement (Garis), which is affiliated with the notorious Islamic Defenders Front (FPI) who have been involved in a number of violent street protests in the past, says a ban on bikinis is insufficient.
Multi-purpose haters, these swine. Yeah, and like all true nazis, they hate Jews too!
He must be a real sicko.
What on earth is offensive or immoral about these pretty English contestants?
Here’s the one I meant! Mind you, England has changed a lot since I lived there, so who knows?

Abstract This study examines the potential of sphenopalatine ganglion blockade in the treatment of migraine and cluster headaches. Although sphenopalatine ganglion blockade has been used since the early 1900s to treat a multitude of symptoms and painful conditions, there has been little conclusive evidence regarding its effectiveness in the treatment of vascular headaches. Through examination of research on sphenopalatine ganglion blockade for the treatment of vascular headaches, some conclusions are reached about the efficacy of the treatment and the direction of future research. Headaches have plagued mankind for centuries. Migraine and cluster headaches are two of the most frequently reported headache syndromes. These headaches can severely affect a person's quality of life and impinge on activities of daily living. These individuals may experience excruciating pain and paresthesia accompanied by a temporary hemiplegia. Headaches can be induced by many triggering agents or events. Headaches are frequently associated with anorexia, nausea, vomiting, photophobia, and phonophobia. Headaches can result in losses to the work force, decreases in productivity, and substantial costs to insurance companies and employees. Researchers have tried to effectively treat migraine and cluster headaches with a variety of medications with moderate success. However, there is still no consensus on the actual mechanism precipitating headaches or for optimal therapeutic intervention. Sphenopalatine ganglion blockade has been reported as a possible treatment for migraine and cluster headache. Because of its location in the nasal passage and the ease with which one can anesthetize it, the sphenopalatine ganglion can be blocked and have much to offer those afflicted. Since the focus of this thesis is on migraine and cluster headache treatment with the use of sphenopalatine ganglionic blockade, the anatomy, physiology, and pathophysiology of the ganglion site are reviewed. Although the use of sphenopalatine blockade treatments have been reported in the past much of the presented literature is anecdotal and controls are lacking. This study describes and compares currently employed treatment modalities with past available research reports on sphenopalatine ganglionic blockade treatments. The evidence presented supports the treatment of vascular headaches with sphenopalatine ganglion blockade. It can be effective in aborting headache pain and associated symptoms with minimal side effects or risks. Patients can be instructed on self administration of this technique which could lead to an overall reduction in health care costs and prompt pain control.

At Wit's End: Failure “Is” An Option?
During every test flight, the Wright brothers brought not only their plane, but also plenty of materials to repair any damage that was done from the inevitable crashes that would occur.
Wayne Gretzky is famously credited with the quote, "You miss 100% of the shots you don't take." His career shooting percentage: 17.57%.
In explaining some of my ideas to people recently, and in talking to others about problem areas in their own projects, the topic of "failure" has come up pretty frequently. "What if you fail?" "What if nobody _________?" "What if my dream doesn't pan out and I have to give it up?" "Am I already a failure?"
My answer to these people: the only way to truly fail is by not doing anything in the first place.
So your big idea didn't pan out exactly as you intended. You likely learned several excellent lessons along the way, met some key people, or otherwise found a new perspective on life. I know that doesn't necessarily pay the bills or feed the family, but it's damned important to moving in a direction where you can live the life you want to live. So you didn't become a world-class chef/chess grandmaster/big-firm attorney. It can be tougher with dreams like becoming a professional athlete or a Broadway star, which may have somewhat finite shelf lives. You never know though—look at that guy from The Rookie, or Jon Hamm—things can have a funny way of working out if you can find a way to persist long enough, knocking on the right doors.
If circumstances outside of your control dictate that you have to abruptly give up your dream and go in a different direction, it doesn't have to be permanent! Try to live within your means, saving a good portion of your money, gathering more "dry powder" for when the next opportunity presents itself; for your next flash of genius that might be "The Big Idea." Put those skills that you developed pursuing your own dream to good use. Don't think of it as a failure—it's a setback. You can always overcome setbacks, but the finality that "failure" implies can act as a black hole, sucking out all of the creativity, passion, and drive that made you "you" in the first place.
No matter what, after one of these setbacks, do not wallow in your own self-pity for an extended period of time. Don't pull the "woe is me" act—you'll annoy your friends and family, and become a useless lump of crap ("ULOC"), which is the worst thing in the world to be. Instead, think of other potential avenues to explore. What was it that you liked about your previous dream? For example, if you wanted to be a movie star, did you want it because of your passion for the craft of acting or because you craved fame? If it's for the acting, there are plenty of community productions in which you could become involved that should satisfy that itch, while allowing you to have a "day" job to support yourself or your family. If it's for the fame, well, in the age of the internet, there are plenty of ways to get famous. Consider putting up a lot of funny shorts on YouTube in your spare time, or become a prolific twitterer. Either way, you'd be moving toward that aspect of your goal. Boil down your previous goal to the part that you value most, and try to capture that in some aspect of your life. Don't let the perfect be the enemy of the good. This isn't to say that you should settle—that's a completely different concept. This is about pursuing your dreams in a different manner while saving up for the next opportunity. Five years from now, your life could be completely different, and the pressures of a significant other, kids, or whatever could re-arrange your values to the point where your dream is simply not feasible for an extended period. You aren't necessarily settling, and you should certainly stay connected to your dream in some way, so that you can pick it up again if the opportunity presents itself. Goals shift. People change. The important thing is that you keep firing shots at the net like Gretzky. Well, not literally, unless you're aiming to be an NHL player, but you get the idea. Keep pushing and pursuing your dream however you can given your circumstances. Hey, you never know where it might lead you. You might even be able to surpass the achievements of a couple of bike mechanics who never gave up on their dreams.

Some of the local usual suspects still have that good old-fashioned “you shall do as I say” power. But November’s elections delivered a monumental shift in who exercises power and how it will be used (or abused) in Hamilton County for decades to come.
Since the Civil War, Hamilton County has been a Republican bastion. We sent one local Republican to the White House (William H. Taft). Big Bill’s son and grandson went to the U.S. Senate. His great grandson became Ohio governor. Local Republicans Salmon P. Chase and Potter Stewart sat on the U.S. Supreme Court, Rob Portman now has the Cincinnati seat in the U.S. Senate, and Nicholas Longworth and John Boehner served as speaker of the U.S. House.
The GOP lost control of Cincinnati city hall in the late 1970s. But it dominated the three-member Hamilton County Commission for more than a century, with only an occasional outlier Democrat like Vince Beckman, elected in 1964 (the LBJ landslide year) serving a single term. The county commission plays an important role in development and tax policy, and sets budgets for county services and officeholders like the sheriff. That’s a whole lot of macht and provided a launch pad for all those Republicans moving up to state and national office.
The GOP’s monopoly began to erode in 2000, when Democrat Todd Portune ousted Republican Bob Bedinghaus, exploiting voter outrage over the lavish stadium lease the GOP commission gifted the Bengals. Todd’s been there ever since. There were four years of Democratic control after David Pepper defeated then Commissioner Phil Heimlich in 2006. But in 2010, Pepper moved on and the GOP re-gained its majority.
Democrats regained a majority on the commission in 2016, when state representative Denise Driehaus joined Portune on the commission, as the county turned deep blue for Hillary Clinton.
But the 2018 mid-term elections consigned the age of GOP power in Hamilton County to the history books for the foreseeable future. On election night, both parties’ poo-bahs were dumbfounded as former Forest Park Mayor Stephanie Dumas grabbed an early lead over veteran GOP Commissioner Chris Monzel and never let go. Remarkably, she spent only $12,000 to defeat an incumbent with a $390,000 bankroll. Ms. Dumas is the first African American ever elected to any county administrative office. For the first in county history three Democrats—two of them women—will decide how the county’s $240 million budget will be spent.
Dumas’ unexpected victory was not a one upset wonder. Democratic judicial candidates unseated two incumbent GOP Common Pleas Court judges, and won three of four contested seats on the Ohio Court of Appeals.
While this can be seen as possible reaction to President Trump, demographic changes seem likely to lock in Democrats’ advantage for the next generation. And as the GOP’s long-but-now-gone county reign demonstrated, the acquisition of power can provide advantages in fundraising and bench development that makes it easier to expand that power. | 2019-04-26T06:45:01Z | http://www.cincymagazine.com/Main/Articles/5972.aspx |
FARGO, N.D. (AP) — As he made his way through a parking lot full of tailgating North Dakota State University football fans on a recent rainy weekend, there was no question Rep. Kevin Cramer is President Donald Trump’s guy.
People awaiting kickoff with spreads of food and drink greeted the Republican Senate candidate with good wishes and some free campaign advice: Stick with the president.
One man called out to Cramer, shouting, “You’ve got my vote” and “MAGA,” the acronym for Trump’s 2016 campaign slogan, “Make America Great Again,” which supporters still use as a rallying cry.
The three-term congressman and early Trump supporter has made loyalty to the president in a state that overwhelmingly supported him in 2016 the main selling point of his campaign to unseat Democratic Sen. Heidi Heitkamp.
It’s an argument that put Heitkamp in a bind over how to vote on Brett Kavanaugh, Trump’s nominee to the Supreme Court. She said Thursday she will vote no, a decision that will embolden Cramer and his supporters to try to paint Heitkamp as out of step with North Dakota.
Even before the Kavanaugh controversy, the Senate race here was among a handful of close contests that could decide whether Republicans keep control of the Senate, where they have a 51-49 majority. Heitkamp, a first-term senator and former state attorney general, is one of 10 Democratic senators trying to win in states Trump carried in November, and her fight may be tougher than most. Trump won North Dakota by 36 points, his best showing in any state where a Senate Democrat is seeking re-election except West Virginia.
Heitkamp argues North Dakota voters don’t want hyper-partisan lawmakers. She has supported many of Trump’s Cabinet and judicial nominees, including Supreme Court pick Neil Gorsuch. However, she has opposed him on issues such as his tax cut bill and his tariffs on China, which she says have hurt many North Dakota farmers.
Yet even as some Republicans elsewhere distance themselves from Trump, Cramer has maintained he is “100 percent” with Trump on issues important to North Dakota. Trump has rewarded him with two visits this year, including a rally in Fargo that drew thousands.
Trump and Cramer are something of a natural pairing. They both have a reputation for making the kind of unfiltered comments that can provoke outrage, particularly from liberals and other critics.
Earlier this year Cramer said farmers raising concerns about the trade war needed a “higher pain threshold.” Last week he made headlines for his comments about Kavanaugh, who’s been accused by Christine Blasey Ford of sexually assaulting her while they were in high school. She testified Kavanaugh held her down and covered her mouth while trying to take off her clothes; Kavanaugh has denied the allegations.
Heitkamp criticized Cramer for the remarks, saying they diminished the severity of assault allegations. She suggested last week she had concerns about Kavanaugh’s confirmation, saying there are many qualified lawyers who could do the job. A confirmation vote could be held this week.
The remarks, and the candidates’ stances on Kavanaugh, got a mixed reception from voters.
Robyn Bancroft, who was eating breakfast at a Grand Forks cafe with her daughters when Heitkamp stopped in last week, had a one-word reaction to Cramer’s remarks: “Disgusting.” She said she had a hard time watching the hearings, and “absolutely” wanted Heitkamp to vote no.
But others don’t have a problem with Cramer’s comments — and even appreciate his straight talk.
Diane Andersen, a 58-year-old who owns a hardware store about 70 miles outside of Bismarck, also is unbothered by Cramer’s say-what-you-think style.
“We know where he’s coming from,” she said.
Cramer said he “enjoyed every minute” of the latest brush-up over his comments, which he called another attempted “gotcha” from the Washington press corps.
Heitkamp has campaigned heavily on issues like health care, which she says comes up constantly as she speaks with voters. She supports the Affordable Care Act, particularly its protections for pre-existing conditions, and says she wants to fix what doesn’t work while her opponent wants to get rid of it entirely. That could be devastating for rural health care, she says, a big issue in the predominantly rural state.
She also takes issue with Cramer’s support for Trump’s tariffs. China has retaliated by slapping its own taxes on crops such as soybeans, a blow to a state that sends 70 percent of its soybeans there.
Mark Dickson, who farms outside of Grand Forks, told Heitkamp the local co-op has trains loaded up with soybeans and ready to move out, but “they can’t sell them.” The 61-year-old, who supported Clinton in 2016 and plans to vote for Heitkamp, said he’d feel better about Cramer if the congressman did something to show solidarity with farmers, such as donating part of his salary to a food bank.
“It is starting to really affect my bottom line and a lot of farmers’ bottom line,” he said.
But Gadberry said he’s a conservative, and his concerns about trade aren’t enough to turn his back on Cramer. The 58-year-old said Cramer’s parents are about the same age as his own parents, and he trusts him on Medicare and Social Security, which his parents rely on and Gadberry will soon too.

After a hard-knock rookie year that resulted in the former Formula 1 driver crashed out 10 times through the 17-race 2010 IZOD INDYCAR Series season, Japan's Takuma Sato and KV Racing Technology entered 2011 ready to embrace a better on-track performance. Starting the season off with a 5th place finish on the Streets of St Petersburg event wheeling the #5 KV Racing Technology car, Sato also enjoyed some success on the Milwaukee Mile oval. Finishing 8th in the event, Takuma Sato overcame being faulted for contact with a crew member in pit lane. In the time trials for the Iowa Corn Indy 250, Sato's transition from the Formula 1 world championship to the IZOD INDYCAR tour involved a major progression. Lapping the 7/8 mile Iowa Speedway in 35.6857 seconds, sophomore driver Takuma Sato stormed a surprise pole position.
Takuma Sato's top qualifying effort came hours before a collision on track. During IZOD INDYCAR Series practice, Sato and the #77 Sam Schmidt Racing of Alex Tagliani collided. "I was approaching on the outside at a much greater closing speed because I think (Tagliani) was just coming out of the pits." Sato said regarding the accident. Alex Tagliani said overwards that the #5 car didn't gave enough room on the oval disappointed for his team.
While the presence of Takuma Sato on the pole served as unusual, the entire Friday evening qualifying session for the Iowa Corn Indy 250 took on an interesting complexion. Starting with Sato on the front row is Andretti Autosport driver Danica Patrick who was little more than 3/100th of a second slower than the #5 KV Racing Technology car. For Patrick and the #7 Godaddy.com Dallara-Honda, this is the 29 year old's highest starting spot since Homestead of 2008.
Starting directly behind his teammate, Tony Kanaan continues to the #82 Geico-sponsored KV Racing Technology race car a week after a near victory at the Milwaukee Mile. Driving for Andretti Autosport last season, Kanaan captured the win at Iowa Speedway for the team's second and final 2010 series victory.
Behind 4th place starting JR Hildebrand, Penske Racing's Will Power secured a row three starting spot for the Saturday night event. After being considered a road course warrior only, Power has been vastly improved in oval racing competition. At Iowa Speedway, Will Power has a 5th place finish in 2010 and a 9th place result during the 2008 season when he drove for KV Racing Technology.
Tied in the 2011 IZOD INDYCAR overall standings with Will Power heading into Iowa, Dario Franchitti will roll off beside his #12 car rival. James Hinchcliffe, Ryan Hunter-Reay, Mike Conway and Ryan Briscoe rounds out the top-10 in qualifying for the Iowa Corn Indy 250. Only 3/10th of a second separated pole sitter Takuma Sato and 10th place Ryan Briscoe in qualifying.
Two events of note is the presence of one front-running competitor in the rear and another series favourite on the sidelines. Almost spinning out in qualifying, the #9 car of Scott Dixon will be third to last in the starting lineup. "We are just way too loose and it was not what we're looking for." the New Zealand drive said as he prepares to launch from a 23rd place position.
Not racing at the Saturday night event on the Iowa Speedway oval will be Simona de Silvestro. The Swiss driver appeared at the race track Friday but did not receive medical clearance to drive for this IZOD INDYCAR Series event. Having undergone the standard IMPACT test, INDYCAR Medical Director Dr. Michael Olinger noted that de Silvestro was showing post-concussion symptoms following a practice crash in Milwaukee qualifying this week. Following de Silvestro's evaluation, her HVM Racing team decided to head back to their race shop and sit out the Iowa event.
Unleashing the 25-car IZOD INDYCAR Series field, the Iowa Corn Indy 250 is set to roll at 8pm Saturday night. | 2019-04-22T23:56:30Z | http://www.xslspeedreporter.com/2011/06/sato-scales-iowa-qualifying-for-first.html |
The ditches were mostly filled with water, so I was unable to get close-ups of most of the wildflowers and had to rely on telephoto shots. My wife Julie took some of the telephotos pictures. This was just a quick visit, so we didn't do a thorough search for wildflowers. We didn't go far enough east on Power Line Rd to see swamp rosemallows, but they were in full bloom along I-95 just south of SR 520 and in the St. Johns River marsh along SR 520 just east of the river.
Only a few blackeyed susans were still in bloom, mostly along Beehead Rd.
This was probably floating bladderwort, Utricularia inflata.
Probably two separate species shown here. The left-hand one might be C. odoratissimus, and the right-hand one might be C. paniculatus.
Indicators are corymb inflorescence, stem hairy, bracts hairy and spine-tipped.
We saw only this one, although there were probably others too low or obscured to be seen. Blooms summer and fall. This was a telephoto shot.
Goldenrod was in full bloom thoughout the area. There appeared to be several different species.
I believe this is the correct species identification. The bottom two photos clearly show the tiny spurs at the attachment point of the anthers. I don't know yet if the presence of the spurs are diagnostic.
A couple of clusters of Phoebanthus were found along the south side of Power Line Rd.
Found along Power Line Rd and Fish Hole Rd. | 2019-04-23T08:46:56Z | http://www.spacecoastwildflowers.com/2013/07/tosohatchee-wma-july-28-2013.html |

You other like like-minded could step up.
But I cannot rebuild Eastern Europe all by myself. I cannot even make a dent. That is just not realistic.
I do have a friend of mine, another old Yale guy, in the railroad business, I suggested to him that he think in terms of using Odessa instead of Trieste as a terminal for shipping into and out of the Baltic States, and to get together a pool of capital to build a new rail line from Poland to Odessa. Other than that, not that much I can do. I would like to import aircraft engines from the Motor Sich plant in Kiev to North America, but getting the capital together to do that is daunting. Probably cannot put it together.
I think Ukraine is a fascinating country. Take the city of Lviv, which I think at one time was in Poland. It is an architectural and historical masterpiece. Yet it remains ignored by tourist operators. Such a shame.
Right now I am focusing on "stepping up" in Vermont,which together with New Hampshire and Maine has this depressed, rural economy. If I can turn any part of this around and make it prosperous, I shall consider my life's work done. Cheers.
Yes there is a battle between nationalism and globalism but I don't see globalism as a global version of socialism. The opposition between capitalism and socialism has defined most of the political battles of the XXth century and the political landscape is still organised on a right-left axis. But now the battle is increasingly opposing nationalism and globalism putting some strain on the political parties often having nationalists and globalists on the the same group. For instance Viktor Orban and Donald Tusk are both labeled as members of the European Popular Party but are adopting very diverging agendas.
The UN has not ordered the US to accept the migrants of the caravan. It is just another fake news from Breitbard and the alt right media.
I think your vision of the UN and the EU is also heavily tainted by the conspiracy theories.
The simple fact is that probably Bulgaria and Romania had totally different economic interests than Germany or Denmark.
As I said I dont see strong economic union with such differences in wages.
There is also big difference in mentality between orthodox, roman catholic, protestant countries and countries like France after 1905.
For example I would suggest not showing openly that you a gay in Poland- you will probably not get attacked but some unpleasant situations may take place especially outside big cities. Maybe less often than 20 years ago but thats still not accepted by lot of Poles-also by young generation that should be more open.
And yet, the industrial countries of Northern Europe farm quite a bit of business into the East Bloc. For example, Damen Shipyards of Holland has bought the largest shipyard in Romania, and now builds their hills and sometimes entire ships in that yard, using the low-cost romanian labor.
Also, Polish shipyards get work building up hulls and hull sections for yards in Germany and Denmark. You get this situation where the heavy work of building up the hull is done in Poland, and then the finished hull is towed to say Germany for outfitting. Eventually all the outfitting will also be done in Eastern Europe; the reason it is not done so now is more to do with supply-chain matters than the ability of the Poles or the Romanians or the Turks to do the work. Short supply chains make for a faster completion of the vessel. Cheers.
I will explain how this supports nationalism in Poland.
There is Opel factory in Poland in Silesia region= Gliwice. There is also a Opel factory in eastern Germany in Saxony region.
A total distance between them is shorter than 100 kilometers but there is a border between Poland and Germany on Nysa river.
Both factories produce Opel cars and as far as I know polish factory is little more efficient than german one= produces several % more cars per day probably because polish workers are more determined to save their jobs.
The whole difference between them is salary of workers= in polish factory you earn about 3 times less in euros than 100 km more on the west in german factory.
And a lot of people in this factory often ask angrily = why we earn 3 times less in a situation when we do exacly the same job and maybe we are even more efficient because we work harder?
So Kaczynski and Orban have an simple answer = because western companies exploit Poland ang Hungary.
They say that West of course gives a lot of money as european funds but there is also a big capital outflow of money from harworking population in foreign factories on polish territory and illcit transfers so European Union is not such a great alliance for Poland or Hungary.
This narration is quite effective because its in some aspects true and whats more important its simple explanation why people in Central Europe are still rather poor 15 years after accession to EC.
Its of course much more complicated matter but a quite lot of people see this just like that.
In my opinion in Poland something like 1\3 of total population and maybe even more because half of polish citizens usually dont vote.
The Global Compact For Safe, Orderly and Regular Migration has been agreed in July by all UN members except the US and sets out norms for protecting and integrating people who migrate and ways to help them return home.
This pact is non-binding and recognizes each state’s right to its own migration policy, but a growing number of anti-immigration leaders in central Europe (Hungary, Austria, Poland and the Czech Republic) are now rejecting it ahead of next month’s signing ceremony in Morocco.
This opposition is more a political move than based on the content of a text that is non-binding and does not threaten the sovereign rights.
"The Global Compact reaffirms the sovereign right of States to determine their national migration policy and their prerogative to govern migration within their jurisdiction, in conformity with international law"
In my opinion these populist leaders are acting irresponsibly. They are trying to undermine a useful text widely approved just in order to appear as tough hardliners on migration policy. But perhaps they also are opposed tothe Compact because at least some of them are prone to violate international law and even their own jurisdiction.
Seriously though, you seem to be walking my talk. Probably better than me, although with a tad of cynism.
Bulgaria and Romania are basically trudging along, surviving, upholding foreign interests and doing nothing more. Romania does have some prospects left, however, it has some pride left. Bulgaria is a failed state, almost exactly like Ukraine, with the only difference it took a lot less blood to fail it and no, it wasn't Russia's fault, it was entirely an inside job in both cases.
Do tell more, Marina. I'm intrigued and basically clueless when it comes to those places.
My pleasure. It will be a long and not too pleasant blog post but I'll do it when I get the chance.
just noticed your post about car plants I have experience there. In '99 during an oil price downturn I landed up auditing car plants round Europe for a while and actually audited a couple of Opel plants one in Russelheim Germany the other Elsemere Port in UK. The UK plant produced more cars, 10% I think, compared to Russelhiem, however they had more recalls so the Germans actually produced more working cars. Not saying its the same with Poland and Germany but numbers produced is not the final measure. Regards the difference in costs if there was no difference the car plants would not be in Poland I am afraid so the workers demanding equal pay will only achieve unemployment if they get it. I am guessing though that in Poland working for Opel is a much higher standard and better paid job than most whereas in Germany it is just a job add in the cost of living difference and I would say the Polish workers are doing well comparatively.
Eastern Europe is being exploited by the West, Germany in particular as per Mein Kampf's objectives oddly, however with higher wages the factories from the West would move further East to lower cost countries. Eastern Europe needs to move their skill sets up the food chain as staying in heavy industry commits them to a race to the bottom but then going back to Mein Kampf the East were to provide the slave labour for the new German Reich or EU as it is now known. | 2019-04-24T16:19:07Z | https://community.oilprice.com/topic/4023-germany-europe-united-must-be-answer-to-trumps-america-first/?page=3 |
Preparation : Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Seed and stem dried chilies. Soak in boiling water to begin softening. Remove fat from chicken breasts. Place in a baking dish that has been sprayed with vegetable oil spray. Sprinkle with oregano, salt and pepper. Arrange sliced onions over chicken and drizzle with olive oil. Back for about 30 minutes or until juices run clear and chicken is no longer pink in the center. While chicken is baking, place chilies and water in a saucepan and bring to the boil. Reduce heat and add garlic, chili powder and cumin. Simmer, covered, for about 10 minutes or until chilies are very soft. Remove from heat and set aside to cool. When cool enough to work with, add salt and puree mixture in a blender or food processor until smooth. When chicken is done and cool enough to handle, shred with fingers or two forks into bite-size pieces. Mix the shredded chicken with the onions from the pan. To assemble: Warm the tortillas in the oven or microwave to soften. Spoon a little chili sauce onto each tortilla and spread around with a spoon. Place about 1/4 cup of chicken mixture in center of tortilla along with about a tablespoon of shredded cheese. Roll enchilada into a tube and place in a single layer in a baking dish that has been sprayed with vegetable oil spray. When all the enchiladas are filled, spread remaining sauce over top and sprinkle with remaining cheese. Cover and bake in a 350 degree oven until cheese melts and filling is hot, about 10-15 minutes. Serving Ideas : Garnish with lettuce, tomatoes, and sour cream. | 2019-04-21T16:40:08Z | http://recipe-finder.com/recipe/10682824154540874132 |
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) comprises two conditions: emphysema and chronic bronchitis. It has been recognised as a serious health problem and one of the main causes of death around the world. The World Health Organization (WHO) informs that the number of people with COPD continues to grow, and by 2030, COPD will become the world's third cause of death. Most of the people who have COPD also experience depression. Studies show that up to 80% of patients with more severe COPD can have symptoms of depression. Other findings show that patients with COPD are four times more likely to have depression than those without COPD.
The number of people living with COPD is increasing, rather than decreasing, around the world. Depression in this population is commonly unrecognised, and patients rarely receive appropriate treatment. Untreated depression increases the risk of death, hospitalisation, readmissions, and healthcare costs. Currently, there is no strong evidence showing which psychological therapy is most effective for patients with COPD and depression.
People who have COPD and depression, respiratory physicians, mental health specialists, respiratory nurses, other healthcare professionals, and policy makers.
Which psychological therapy (if any) is effective in reducing symptoms of depression in patients with COPD?
This review included experimental studies, called randomised controlled trials (RCTs), with participants who had diagnosed COPD.
This review included 13 experimental studies (RCTs) with 1500 participants. Our main result shows that psychological therapies using cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT) approach may, potentially, be effective in reducing depressive symptoms in patients with COPD. However, the quality of this evidence is very low because of many limitations related to the way the studies were conducted.
More experimental studies with larger numbers of participants are needed, to confirm beneficial effects of CBT for patients with COPD-related depression. Future studies need to produce higher quality evidence and measure adverse events and other important outcomes, such as quality of life or cost-effectiveness.
The findings from this review indicate that psychological therapies (using a CBT-based approach) may be effective for treating COPD-related depression, but the evidence is limited. Depressive symptoms improved more in the intervention groups compared to: 1) no intervention (attention placebo or standard care), 2) educational interventions, and 3) a co-intervention (pulmonary rehabilitation). However, the effect sizes were small and quality of the evidence very low due to clinical heterogeneity and risk of bias. This means that more experimental studies with larger numbers of participants are needed, to confirm the potential beneficial effects of therapies with a CBT approach for COPD-related depression.
New trials should also address the gap in knowledge related to limited data on adverse effects, and the secondary outcomes of quality of life, dyspnoea, forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1), exercise tolerance, hospital length of stay and frequency of readmissions, and cost-effectiveness. Also, new research studies need to adhere to robust methodology to produce higher quality evidence.
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) has been recognised as a global health concern, and one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Projections of the World Health Organization (WHO) indicate that prevalence rates of COPD continue to increase, and by 2030, it will become the world's third leading cause of death. Depression is a major comorbidity amongst patients with COPD, with an estimate prevalence of up to 80% in severe stages of COPD. Prevalence studies show that patients who have COPD are four times as likely to develop depression compared to those without COPD. Regrettably, they rarely receive appropriate treatment for COPD-related depression. Available findings from trials indicate that untreated depression is associated with worse compliance with medical treatment, poor quality of life, increased mortality rates, increased hospital admissions and readmissions, prolonged length of hospital stay, and subsequently, increased costs to the healthcare system. Given the burden and high prevalence of untreated depression, it is important to evaluate and update existing experimental evidence using rigorous methodology, and to identify effective psychological therapies for patients with COPD-related depression.
To assess the effectiveness of psychological therapies for the treatment of depression in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
We searched the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL) (2018, Issue 11), and Ovid MEDLINE, Embase and PsycINFO from June 2016 to 26 November 2018. Previously these databases were searched via the Cochrane Airways and Common Mental Disorders Groups' Specialised Trials Registers (all years to June 2016). We searched ClinicalTrials.gov, the ISRCTN registry, and the World Health Organization International Clinical Trials Registry Platform (ICTRP) to 26 November 2018 to identify unpublished or ongoing trials. Additionally, the grey literature databases and the reference lists of studies initially identified for full-text screening were also searched.
Eligible for inclusion were randomised controlled trials that compared the use of psychological therapies with either no intervention, education, or combined with a co-intervention and compared with the same co-intervention in a population of patients with COPD whose depressive symptoms were measured before or at baseline assessment.
Two review authors independently assessed the titles and abstracts identified by the search to determine which studies satisfied the inclusion criteria. We assessed two primary outcomes: depressive symptoms and adverse events; and the following secondary outcomes: quality of life, dyspnoea, forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1), exercise tolerance, hospital length of stay or readmission rate, and cost-effectiveness. Potentially eligible full-text articles were also independently assessed by two review authors. A PRISMA flow diagram was prepared to demonstrate the decision process in detail. We used the Cochrane 'Risk of bias' evaluation tool to examine the risk of bias, and assessed the quality of evidence using the GRADE framework. All outcomes were continuous, therefore, we calculated the pooled standardised mean difference (SMD) or mean difference (MD) with a corresponding 95% confidence interval (CI). We used a random-effects model to calculate treatment effects.
The findings are based on 13 randomised controlled trials (RCTs), with a total of 1500 participants. In some of the included studies, the investigators did not recruit participants with clinically confirmed depression but applied screening criteria after randomisation. Hence, across the studies, baseline scores for depressive symptoms varied from no symptoms to severe depression. The severity of COPD across the studies was moderate to severe.
There was a small effect showing the effectiveness of psychological therapies in improving depressive symptoms when compared to no intervention (SMD 0.19, 95% CI 0.05 to 0.33; P = 0.009; 6 studies, 764 participants), or to education (SMD 0.23, 95% CI 0.06 to 0.41; P = 0.010; 3 studies, 507 participants).
Two studies compared psychological therapies plus a co-intervention versus the co-intervention alone (i.e. pulmonary rehabilitation (PR)). The results suggest that a psychological therapy combined with a PR programme can reduce depressive symptoms more than a PR programme alone (SMD 0.37, 95% CI -0.00 to 0.74; P = 0.05; 2 studies, 112 participants).
We rated the quality of evidence as very low. Owing to the nature of psychological therapies, blinding of participants, personnel, and outcome assessment was a concern.
None of the included studies measured adverse events.
Quality of life was measured in four studies in the comparison with no intervention, and in three studies in the comparison with education. We found inconclusive results for improving quality of life. However, when we pooled data from two studies using the same measure, the result suggested that psychological therapy improved quality of life better than no intervention. One study measured hospital admission rates and cost-effectiveness and showed significant reductions in the intervention group compared to the education group. We rated the quality of evidence as very low for the secondary outcomes. | 2019-04-25T07:06:03Z | https://www.cochrane.org/CD012347/DEPRESSN_are-psychological-therapies-effective-treating-depression-patients-copd |
Objective The information on the changes of prevalence of MetS in China is limited. Our objective was to assess a 10-year’s change of the prevalence of MetS in a Chinese elderly population between 2001 and 2010. Methods We conducted two cross-sectional surveys in a representative sample of elderly population aged 60 to 95 years in Beijing in 2001 and 2010 respectively. MetS was defined according to the 2009 harmonizing definition. Results A total of 2,334 participants (943 male, 1,391 female) in 2001 and 2,102 participants (848 male, 1,254 female) in 2010 completed the survey. The prevalence of MetS was 50.4% (95%CI: 48.4%–52.4%) in 2001 and 58.1% (95%CI: 56.0%–60.2%) in 2010. The absolute change of prevalence of MetS was 7.7% over the 10-year’s period (p<0.001). The syndrome was more common in female than male in both survey years. Among the five components, hypertriglyceridemia and low HDL-C had increased most, with an increase of 14.8% (from 29.4% to 44.2%) and 9.9% (from 28.3% to 38.2%) respectively. The adjusted ORs of MetS for CHD, stroke and CVD were 1.67(95%CI: 1.39–1.99), 1.50(95%CI: 1.19–1.88) and 1.70(95%CI: 1.43–2.01) respectively in 2001, and were 1.74(95%CI: 1.40–2.17), 1.25(95%CI: 0.95–1.63) and 1.52(95%CI: 1.25–1.86) respectively in 2010. Conclusion The prevalence of MetS is high and increasing rapidly in this Chinese elderly population. Participants with Mets and its individual components are at significantly elevated ORs for CVD. Urgent public health actions are needed to control MetS and its components, especially for dislipidemia.

Middletown, which went 3-6 last year, opens the 2011 season against Valley Central.
Returning starters: Sr. C Evan Barone; Sr. RG Fahiem Blair; Jr. RT Tim Wade; Sr. LG Blaize Smith; Sr. OL/DL Isaiah Charles; Sr. QB Kyle Houghtaling; Sr. WR Jalon White; Sr. RB Kirk Nelson; Jr. WR Justin Bynum; Sr. RB Matt Cartwright.
Key losses: QB Vincent Mortellaro; WR Manny Mosely; DL Raimonn Goddard; LB Brian Andujar.
Sept. 2: Valley Central, 7:30 p.m.
Sept. 10: Stepinac, 8 p.m.
Sept. 16: at Warwick, 7 p.m.
Sept. 23: at Monroe-Woodbury, 7 p.m.
Sept. 30: Newburgh, 7:30 p.m.
Oct. 14: Kingston, 7:30 p.m.
Oct. 21: at Pine Bush, 7 p.m.
Nov. 24: at Port Jervis, 11 a.m.
10: sacks allowed by Middletown's offensive line last season.
69-56-7: Middletown's all-time record against Port Jervis.
1969: last time Middletown met Port Jervis on Thanksgiving. They play again on Turkey Day this year.
Middletown beat rival Port Jervis 37-14 in the Erie Bell game for the second time in three years.
As a senior, quarterback Vincent Mortellaro threw for 1,626 yards and 18 touchdowns. He tied a Section 9 record by throwing six touchdowns in a game in a 67-41 win over Monticello. Senior Kyle Houghtaling will replace him as the starter.
The Middies scored 67 points in a win over Monticello for their highest offensive output of the season. Middletown averaged 14.8 points in its other eight games.
1: Middletown needs to win the close games. Last season, the Middies went 3-6 but could have flipped that to 6-3 with better play in the fourth quarter.
Middletown lost three games by a combined 14 points as they fell to Kingston (35-27), Minisink Valley (19-14) and Valley Central (14-13).
2: Coach Steve Barone expects the Middies' line to be a force and, in turn, control the line of scrimmage and the game. Led by right guard Fahiem Blair, Middletown returns all five starters on the offensive line, which should be a big part of putting a dominant running game on the field. Barone, who played at Middletown in the late-1960s, knows something about battling in the trenches. He went on to suit up for the University of Miami (Fla.).
3: Barone has seen continuity develop with his players and also with his staff. For the last three years, the head coach hasn't seen any defections during the offseason, and he believes this has translated into better playcalling and morale. Still, Middletown has to meet its own expectations, which include making a jump in Class AA standings this season.
Notable: Vincent Mortellaro's backup last year.
Notable: Put up 534 yards and 8 TDs last season.
Notable: Hard play helped him become a captain.
Notable: Could also see time at nose guard.
Notable: Had 67 tackles, eight for loss, as a soph.
Notable: Made 47 tackles last year, with 6 sacks.
Notable: Earned more time with offseason work.
Notable: Had 48 tackles, with six for loss, last fall. | 2019-04-21T03:09:25Z | https://www.recordonline.com/article/20110829/SPORTS31/110829695 |

Meet Chloe. Having always loved traveling and exotic experiences that follow, Chloe knew at the age of 7 she was destined to wander the continents. After the passing of her father when she was only 14, Chloe treasured a collection of his stamped passport pages-- her most prized possession. Over the years, her love of travel has manifested in ways that pervade her personal life and career. Chloe chose to be a professional actor because exploring characters’ minds felt like traveling. With a notable career on Broadway stage, various TV shows and touring with an opera company, Chloe embraced adventurous safaris in every facet of her life. After years of hesitation, Chloe eventually admitted that traveling is her true dream and calling. Thriving off international connections, foreign languages and the stories that come from such experiences, Chloe recently launched a project called ‘Wandering CityZen’. She and her partner, a travel blogger like herself, are about to embark on the ultimate journey: living in foreign cities for one week at a time. With the challenge of experiencing life as locals, Chloe aims to showcase vibrant communities from around the world, bridging gaps and offering new perspectives. This will be a huge leap of faith; however her passion and zest for sharing experiences with people from all over the world is enough to compensate for the daunting act of living a nomadic life. She is a Strong Woman. | 2019-04-24T08:25:44Z | http://www.strongwomanofficial.com/strong/2016/8/16/chloe |
It took us almost four years to drive our motor home from the East Coast of the U.S. to the West Coast. We didn’t set out with a specific goal to drive across the continent. We just started heading west, connecting one cool-looking destination with another. 43 months later we arrived on the West coast having seen most everything we wanted to see in the United States. In March 2014, we flew off to Europe.
Having spent four years crossing North America it seems a little insane that it will take us less than one year (354 days to be exact) to circle the globe. But that’s precisely what our current plans have us doing.
In comparison to our U.S. travels it seems terribly rushed, but it’s not really. By the time we leave Europe this fall, we’ll have spent eight months in just three countries (Spain, France, and the UK). And even though we move to a new city or town every four days on average, we’ll still have left enough undone in each of these countries to warrant a return trip or two or three.
We’re still basically traveling the way we always have, which is to move with the seasons. Except finding a suitable winter destination when you own no winter clothing is a bit more challenging than it was in the motor home. We used to be able to drive south and hunker down in places like San Diego or Key West. Now we pretty much need to get on an airplane and fly thousands of miles.
This year that means spending the winter in Southeast Asia. After that we’ll fly back to New York to visit family and friends. It just so happens our flight to New York crosses the Pacific, meaning that come this spring, we’ll have completed our first trip around the globe.
And that flight’s a doozy – 20 heinous hours in the air. Fortunately our various strategies to earn frequent flyer travel points have paid off in a big way. Thanks to Chase Ultimate Reward Points we’ll be flying all of those awful hours from Bangkok to New York in lie-flat, Business/First seats.
Thanks to travel reward points.
All-in-all, not a bad way to finish the first lap of our around the world marathon.
Have fun with the rest of the travels and congrats on the brilliant strategy to survive a 20 hour flight.
We are in Inverness as of tomorrow! Thanks for the recommendation, we really appreciate them.
way to go, guys! you rock, every day and every time! enjoy the road! | 2019-04-19T20:40:42Z | https://everywhereonce.com/2014/08/06/circumnavigating-the-globe/ |
LAFC returns to MLS preseason play with a friendly against Columbus FC on Monday night, looking to mark its third victory of the preseason.
The Black and Gold have fared well so far in preseason play, defeating Toronto FC in a closed 3-1 victory and taking down Japanese club Vissel Kobe 4-1 in front of a packed Banc of California stadium. The team’s early victories have been solidified by aggressive play by the front line, led by captain Carlos Vela, who continues to act as the foundation of the attack in both scoring and assisting roles.
With defender Walker Zimmerman and goalkeeper Tyler Miller both back from the U.S. men’s national team January games — in which the American team went 2-0 — the team will be even more fully rounded against Toronto.
Although goals have not been flowing as steadily for the Crew as they have for LAFC, Columbus has survived the preseason so far without surrendering a goal, holding Vissel Kobe to 0-0 and notching a 1-0 win over Club Tijuana, a Liga MX club. The two clubs did not meet last season, so the match will offer a fresh look for both sides as they prepare for the regular season.
The Columbus match is one of three closed matches remaining in the preseason for LAFC, and it will stand as an opportunity to continue tuning up the full roster. With the home opener against Sporting KC looming less than a month away, head coach Bob Bradley’s team is well aware that it needs to be close regular season form. | 2019-04-21T02:18:04Z | https://www.prosoccerusa.com/mls/los-angeles-fc/lafc-prepares-to-face-columbus-in-preseason-clash/ |

We are Scotland Food and Drink Award Finalists, which is a fantastic achievement for a new business – we are not yet one year old! It was a great honour to be in the distilling category alongside Isle of Harris Distillers, Tamdu Whisky and Isle of Skye Distillers but no surprise to any of us that Harris Gin ultimately won the award and also the over-all best product award.
This industry stalwart continues to set a high bar for the rest of us which can only be a good thing for Scottish gin, and ‘brand Scotland’ in general.
It was thrilling to be part of the awards ceremony at the EICC in Edinburgh and a treat for directors, Emma and Niall to throw off the jeans and trainers in exchange for a frock (Emma) and kilt (Niall). Sadly we couldn’t take the whole team this time!
Selfie with Mark and Darren from Print & Sign Centres! Boss Hogg is working that pout.
We were kept entertained at our table by the lovely lads from Print & Sign Centres who were event sponsors and were delighted to bump into James Strong from Great Brink who designed our new tasting room.
The event was hosted by TV chef and Strictly afficionado, Simon Rimmer, who ensured that no prize winners attempted lengthy speeches which would hold things up. Dinner was delicious – Luss smoked salmon, Scottish lamb from Aberdeen and a delicious dessert of Fife blueberries with baked cream. The whole evening was a fantastic celebration of what Scotland has to offer in terms of food and drink and it was inspiring to see what other producers are doing.
There’s no doubt that ‘brand Scotland’ is flying high just now and we are delighted to be doing our bit in the world of craft distilling. We are so proud of the provenance and quality of our product and are thrilled Kintyre Gin is holding its own amongst the best in the industry.

I like the ‘farmer’ version best, since the constraint is most plausible. To improve the ‘pool’ version, you should say that the expensive resource is the tiles used for the border. Both are slightly BS, because rectangles are better for other reasons: primarily that perimeters aren’t that costly, and rectangles pack more easily, wasting less area. Farmers’ plots of land pack together better if rectangular, and swimming pools can pack more lanes if rectangular.
You can also talk about drops of water trying to minimize surface tension. Or a group of campers trying to ring the perimeter of their campsite with (the minimum number of) campfires to keep out a herd of hungry wolves.
I wonder if the “geometry” formulation was rated more interesting because of the slick-looking graphic and the possibility that there is an optical illusion going on. I think the graphic is really pretty unclear. It’s not at all obvious that the perimeter of each object corresponds to the length of the straight line matching it.
I am straying a bit from your post, but you got me to thinking….
Perhaps we should begin to use “Real-Life” rather than “Real World”–while describing challenges as real-life problems also has the potential to be just a nebulous as real world different terminology might help us make the point to students that the mathematics they are learning has real life application. Shouldn’t that be our goal? By that I mean our ultimate goal should be to challenge students with interesting, engaging problems that develop their understanding of mathematical concepts they will encounter in their life outside of the school environment.
With regard to what increases student interest – I have a different take on that, at least from my personal experience.
When my students have been asked why they think I am a good teacher (compared to others they have had), they mostly say it is because I make math more “fun”, but not because of the types of problems I choose or because I make them more accessible. They say it is because they can see how much I love math and how excited I am personally about the subject and that that enthusiasm is catching.
So maybe it is not always about having the students be interested in the problem, but sometimes it is more important for the teacher to be interested in the problem. I know this is likely a heretical thought.
But I can give a good analogy. There are many hobbies in life I have no interest in whatsoever. Stamp collecting, for example. I think stamp collecting sounds horribly boring. However, when I have met a person who is passionate about collecting stamps, it is fun to take to him or her about it. I learn to see it in a whole new way. I will still never collect stamps myself, and I still think the topic is boring, however during those moments it was interesting to talk about and think about, and that gave me a new overall appreciation for the topic. This was entirely due to the passion and interest of the person I was talking to.
I am not saying that making the material directly interesting to students is not important, but I think it is a mistake to underestimate the effect of teacher interest as well.
I’d like to agree with David here, and on his comment to the original question. Engaging kids has little to do with how real world a task is. I do think that relating some math concepts to things kids know about and relate to in their real world can help understanding (Example: the activity where the kids take a too long text message and shorten it by doing things like substituting IDK for I don’t know connecting to powers of 10 and scientific notation. We did this just yesterday and it was very successful. So now we call that “math texting”).
We all teach the same content–what’s different is how we organize our classrooms for instruction, the collaboration we allow (or don’t allow), the activities we choose and how we introduce and facilitate them, the work (including homework) we assign…I’m sure there are more but I think these have more to do with engaging kids then how real world a problem is.
And teacher enthusiasm is also important, as David said. I know a guy who collects and repairs old fountain pens, and he makes that seem really fascinating.
Do you mean that it’s important to know their world as in their experiences, or do you mean that it’s important to know their world as in “the world of the mind”? Or maybe both?
With the caveat that a teacher has an important role in expanding said world. If we only meet students where they are, then they’ll stay right there.
That said, when I was a middle school teacher, I was often surprised and impressed by what students were interested in, and the seriousness with which they approached [what we might otherwise assume to be] adult-level questions when given the opportunity.
If this diagnosis is correct, then the cure is to design lessons where connection-making is a big part of what we do, and where the process of abstracting is done *gently,* not abruptly. Dan has lots of great ideas on this last point that I have tried to implement in my practice.
What does it mean for math to be “real?” I’ll say that learning becomes real to students when it is comprehensible, accessible, connectable to prior knowledge.
Did you ask any students which problem they found more interesting? Or see which problem they persisted with the longest?
“And for the sake of interesting your students in mathematics, it’s more important to know their world.” In my experience this is just absolutely THE thing.
I think your “high abstraction” version illustrates well what can go wrong with that kind of thing.
However, I think the formatting is making it worse. I believe I read something from you years ago on this site about what a benefit whitespace is for students processing a task. I’ve always found that to be true myself.
Consider this treatment http://i.imgur.com/DQoUZvI.png taht I just put together. It is similarly high-abstraction, but it still uses some style elements to make it easier for the reader to engage. I also purposely asked a question, which I feel the high abstraction type tasks usually do, but I didn’t try to ask *all* the questions.
“Real-world” is less important than “interesting”…I got it. But I think too many comments here suggest that there are no universal principles underlying what people find intriguing or puzzling; that it’s all relative; that it’s all about whether the activity is connected to their world. My guess is that there are some universals.
For example, this new book by a cognitive scientist examines the universals of humor–what goes on in the brain when people find something funny. It can’t be understood in a completely reductionist perspective, but there are universals. I think a similar analysis could be performed for puzzlement.
Thank you for writing such a wonderful thought-provoking post. I am so pleased to have found your blog. As a elementary school teacher of 10 years, currently working at LAUSD, the pressure that is placed on teachers to create lesson plans that students find to be uninteresting for the sake of preparing for standardized tests, is ultimately harmful to the student. I love the idea of creating “life” questions instead of “math” questions, and having math problems that relate to the student’s world instead of the “real” world. My students often sarcastically ask me how math problems can be applied to the real world, and I have always thought of coming up with real world math examples to be the greatest tool for engaging students in learning math. This post has challenged me to go beyond the idea of the real world problem, and take the “their” world problem into the classroom.

I’m not a Maths Teacher, have been given a year 8 class to teach percentages to and surprisingly they seem to have understood and loved the work. “This is the best Maths ever, you can see how it works”, was one comment.Each student created a virtual shop with internet images and selected images of ten products.
The choice, fashion, sport or home wares.
Each product was given a wholesale price by the students and then had to be marked up by % to give a sale price. A few test goes of adding percentages because of new season stock or a franchise decision and they had the idea.
Then the “test” it was SALE time. I put together a number of photos from the local shopping centre of store windows with signs of % off. We worked through images of 8 stores taking % of a selected item at each new image. YES everyone got it right.
Now we have moved on to using a credit card for the purchases and looking at the percentage interest.
The result, engagement, enthusiasm, understanding of the concepts. Their comments, it didn’t even seem like we had to do maths. As a non Maths Teacher we covered a lot of ground in many areas in just a few lessons. Real World Maths?

One evening while dining in the barn, six couples, brought together by a passion for tasting red wines and creating delicious cuisine, made the commitment to become respectable winemakers. Six years have passed since that fateful evening and we are quite pleased to be producing these hand-crafted wines.

ANGEL DI MARIA could make his eagerly awaited Manchester United return against Aston Villa on Saturday.
Di Maria has missed the past three matches after sustaining a small tear to his hamstring in the 3-0 victory over Hull at Old Trafford on November 29.
Having made great progress in his recovery, there was hope that he could feature in yesterday's clash against biter rivals Liverpool.
But that was not to be, with manager Louis van Gaal confirming that the Argentina winger was not yet ready to make his return.
Di Maria's absence once again did not hinder United as they stormed to a 3-0 victory over Brendan Rodgers' failing side.
Starsport understands the 26-year-old has already returned to full training and will aim to complete a full week's work ahead of the trip to Villa Park.
If all being well, Di Maria could come back into Van Gaal's thinking for the match against Paul Lambert's men.
United will head to Villa in sensational form, aiming to extend their winning run to seven matches.
The victory over Liverpool consolidated United's place in the Premier League's top-three and put them within eight points of leaders Chelsea. | 2019-04-24T04:17:34Z | https://www.dailystar.co.uk/sport/football/415416/Angel-Di-Maria-Man-Utd-Aston-Villa |

Migrants detained on the Greek island of Chios were unable to appeal against decisions ordering their expulsion, human rights judges confirmed today.
no violation of Article 3 (prohibition of inhuman or degrading treatment).
As Just satisfaction (Article 41), the court held that Greece was to pay the applicants, four Afghan nationals , 650 euros (EUR) each in respect of non-pecuniary damage and EUR 1,000 jointly in respect of costs and expenses.
The case concerned the applicants’ conditions of detention in the Vial centre on the island of Chios, and the issues of the lawfulness of their detention, the courts’ review of their case, and the information provided to them.
The European court considered that, in view of the circumstances, the applicants had not had access to remedies by which to challenge the decisions ordering their expulsion and the extension of their detention.
The applicants understood only Farsi and they had had no lawyers to assist them.
The documents issued to them by the authorities had been written in Greek and had not specified which administrative court had jurisdiction.
As in the case of J.R. and Others v. Greece (no. 22696/16), the Court held that the applicants’ detention had nevertheless been lawful and that the threshold of seriousness for it to be characterised as inhuman or degrading treatment had not been attained. | 2019-04-24T00:01:32Z | http://www.humanrightseurope.org/2019/03/greece-court-makes-chios-island-human-rights-ruling/ |
This Commons Library briefing paper summarises current progress on nuclear power, including conventional reactors, advanced designs, waste disposal and nuclear research.
In September 2016, the Government gave the final go-ahead to Hinkley Point C, the first nuclear power station for a generation. In June 2018, the Government announced potential direct funding in a nuclear power plant at Wylfa, and, separately, a Nuclear Sector Deal as part of the Government’s Industrial Strategy, with £200 million for supporting the industry. However the collapse of private sector support for a new plant at Moorside in November 2018, and the suspension of the Hitachi project at Wylfa in January 2019, has cast doubt on the future of nuclear plants in the UK.
Successive Governments have supported the development of new nuclear as a reliable way of generating low carbon power, improving the UK’s energy security, and also, in the case of advanced reactors, having the potential to be used to reduce the UK’s spent fuel and plutonium stockpile problem.
The UK has 15 existing reactors, generating about 21% of its electricity, and 13 others are at various stages of the construction or planning process. The last Conservative Government also announced initiatives and funding for advanced reactors, including £250 million for development. The current Government has announced support for nuclear power in its Industrial Strategy as well as specific funding in areas such as nuclear fusion research and small modular reactors.
This paper summarises current progress on nuclear power, including conventional reactors, advanced designs, waste disposal and nuclear research.
This paper does not seek to provide a detailed analysis of the possible merits and limitations of nuclear as a power source. It also does not discuss other uses of nuclear such as nuclear weapons or medical uses of radioisotopes. | 2019-04-25T20:16:05Z | https://researchbriefings.parliament.uk/ResearchBriefing/Summary/CBP-8176 |

Today I realized that I hadn’t mentioned the Hull City Tigers and their return to the EPL. Well now I have. Yep, we got beat 2-0 at Chelsea in the opening game but I suspect most teams would have been swept aside by that performance. It will be an interesting ride this year but I am pumped! By the way, has anyone been to Hull recently??? I know most southerners get lost in the back woods north of Watford and that Hull is a really tough place to find but, it hasn’t half changed. Its really rather worth a visit chaps.
Of course, anytime now, some lazy sod of a journalist is going to come up with the oh so original article title “To Hull and back” in relation to soccer. Do these people really think they thought of it first? Do they realize that parts of London are significantly more hell-like than any part of Hull? No, I thought not.
The only thing I don’t much like about Hull is the accent. The accent is well….. bloody ‘orrible if you ask me. I even moved and spent 17-years in Texas hoping to lose my ‘Ull vowel sounds. It didn’t work of course. I am lumbered with it for my entire life albeit in mild form.
Obviously more affluent than it used to be?
What a lot of folk don’t know is that Hull is located amongst some gorgeous scenery. The Holderness plain is so flat you would swear the flat earthers were right all along. The wolds are beautifully green and punctuated by amazing little villages and pubs while to the north you have the Vale of Pickering and then the bold North Yorks Moors. Its great and as a few wealthy soccer players have recently discovered – very livable.
And what about all those famous folk from my home town? Let’s see…. er, well there is Tom Courtenay of course and er…..Mick Ronson and Trevor Boulder of the Spiders from Mars, Roland Gift of the Fine Young Cannibals, John Alderton – my mother’s heart throb, Ian Carmichael, Roy North of Basil Brush fame, John Venn – yes he of the Venn diagram, William Wilberforce who worked so hard to abolish slavery, and the man I love to hate – John Prescott – buffoon, idiot and former Deputy Labour Party Leader. There are a few more…not so well known including three members of Sade including my former school chum, Stuart Mathewman…. and me? Oh well. Maybe one day. | 2019-04-25T11:54:17Z | https://garymvasey.com/2013/08/21/hull-a-great-northern-city/ |

When our teacher trainee proposed some ideas to improve student learning, one local teacher said, “Wait, wait, wait." He thinks our trainee is always in a hurry to do things, but our trainee believes without encouraging others, things won't change.
I heard a student whisper, “Our teacher is coming.” One curiously looked back at the doorway and unexpectedly saw me. It's been about 2 months since we left the village due to the conflict in northern Rakhine State, but now are glad to be back.
We recently taught in two communities in northern and southern Rakhine State, and can now reflect how much we were able to meet the local needs and expectations.
When we talk about the teachers we've had, our teacher trainee said he didn't really like any of his teachers, and Chloe mentioned we were lucky if we found one or two!

Being a tourist in Seattle means that you will never be bored, if you’re doing it right. Seattle is one of those great cities that has something for everyone. If you are visiting the PNW for the weekend or a life long resident, these are the best things to see in the Emerald City.
You need to see the space needle at least once. This iconic symbol of Seattle was build in 1962 for the World’s Fair and has the best view of the entire city. Plus, the needle had a recent face lift and now has a glass floor. See the city from a bird’s eye view; just be warned the elevator ride up is not the fainthearted.
Pay tribute to some of the greatest art exhibits at SAM. The museum is a great way to get in touch with you inner art critique on a drizzly, gray day and catch one of the exhibits that are on rotation. You can view collections such as modern and contemporary, African, Meso-American, Ancient Mediterranean, Islamic, European, Oceanic and Australian Aboriginal, Asian, American, and decorative arts.
Another iconic Seattle toursty activity is the Pikes Place, and it lives up to the hype. Local venters sell everything from hand made jewelry to flowers. Grab some cider donuts and watch the fish venders throw the fish across the aisle. Don’t forget to go down to the lower levels and explore all the trinket shops below.
It’s sticky, it’s germy, and its covered in gum. Local legend has it that the small theater located on this street asked its audience not to chew gum in the theater, so the disgruntled guests stuck their gum on the wall outside. It’s an odd way to start a tourist location, but Seattle is not your typical city. Take a picture with it, careful stick some gum on it, but for the love of God, do not touch it.
Chinatown is one of the coolest places to go wonder around. If you are craving some bubble tea or some authentic hun boas, head down to the touristy part of Seattle’s international district. Also, make sure you stop by Uwajimaya, which is a large supermarket with a food court and gift shop with many Studio Ghibli souvenirs.
Head across the bridge over to the U district to go shopping through a slew of unique stores. Shop anywhere from vintage boutiques to many authentic, hole in the wall eateries. You could also head up the UW campus to stroll through the cherry trees in the court yard.
Some of the best views of Seattle are from the notorious Puget Sound Ferries that run to the little island’s and into the peninsula. Grab a ferry and see Seattle from the water view with the green and mountains behind it in all its beauty. This will also allow you to venture into a small port town (if you choose to step off when the ferry docks) and see some of the niche shops and grab a bite to eat.
See the creatures that live in the PNW Sound up close and personal. This aquarium, located down on the pier, encompass the Seattle spirit of educate and preserve as you can view the sea life swirl through the kelp and rocky bottoms. Make sure to see if you can stop by when they are throwing one of their many events from Deaf Community Day to Adult Swim, which is a 21+ event that serves drinks and has a live DJ.
One of the newest structures in Seattles Belltown area are the Amazon Rainforest spheres, which are giant glass spheres had hold up to 40 different kind of species of plants. Although designed for meeting spaces, the spheres can be visited on a public day. Grab lunch from one of the many different restaurants surrounding this area and spend a relaxing afternoon in one of the futuristic spheres.
Capitol Hill is one of those places that truly captures the young heart of Seattle. This district of Seattle has a great mix of bar, restaurant, coffee shops and niche small stores. Grab a cup of coffee from Victrola Roasters and visit the Jimmy Hendrix statue up on Broadway. However, the best time to experience Capitol Hill is in the nightlife. Choose from a variety of unique bars and feel right at home in the nightlife.

This involves physical examination of supporting accounting documentation, contracts, records and board of director minutes. It also includes physical examination of the assets. This enables the auditor to verify the existence but not necessarily ownership and valuation of assets.
Inquiry consists of seeking information of knowledgeable person inside or outside the entity. It may range from formal written inquiry to oral inquiries.
Confirmation consists of corroborating evidence from third parties with the internal evidence. For instance the auditor may verify accounts receivables by circularizing the debtors.
This involves verifying the arithmetical accuracy on accounting records or accounts balance. The auditor does this by independent recalculating account balances to establish how they were arrived at.
This involves analysis of significant accounting ratios and trend performance including investigations of fluctuations that occur between the current financial performance with the previous one and check whether other information is consistent with such relationship.
• Computation of tax liabilities• Performance of regression analysis to determine slow moving items.• Preparation of debtors listing and age analysis of debtors.

A special heat activated adhesive sheet using the very latest standard in bonding agents developed for the clothing industry to provide a more robust result than many of the fusible bonding products currently on the market, becoming almost permanent and machine washable at 40 degrees without stitching.
We were so impressed by this product that we’ve recently changed to using it for all new products in the ‘Vintage-Patch’ range of iron on elbow, knee and repair patches. Now you can use it too, to make iron on shapes of your choice in your own fabrics, without further sewing *on most fabrics.
Simple to apply: Place shiny (glue) side of the sheet down on the back of a piece of fabric you wish to create designs with, and apply medium heat to iron it into position. Allow to cool, then draw out the motif shape you require, cut out and your design is ready to use.
To apply to a garment, home furnishing or other item, carefully peel off the backing from the shape to expose the shiny glue covering. Place motif in position, cover with a thin pressing cloth (muslin or thin tea towel is ideal) and iron for 60 seconds from both sides until well bonded. Allow to cool.
Full instructions are included with each pack.
Lots of of uses: appliqués, motifs, letters and numbers to personalise items, hemming strips, repairs patches and much more.
Once in place the item is fully machine washable and can be ironed as normal. *Tumble dried items will require additional stitching.
The adhesive is designed to bond to most widely used tight weave fabrics such as cotton, polyester, denim, mixed blends and others so long as they can withstand medium to high temperatures during the iron on process. *Motifs applied to garments with a very loose weave, or which are stretchy or textured (such as woollens) may not offer a suitable surface for strong bonding and will require extra stitching. | 2019-04-20T18:36:07Z | http://www.vintage-patch.co.uk/product/iron-on-fabric-adhesive-sheet-new-sew-permanent-bond/ |

The social media side of the world bursted with discussion when Chinese rapper Al Rocco and his model girlfriend Naomi announced their breakup last week. As the couple had never shied away from showing PDA, the split did come as a shock.
A few days after the couple announced their split, a netizen posted a viral story of how Naomi has had a poor history of cheating, and once tried to hook up with Edison Chen (陳冠希). While participating on the Chinese variety Road to the Runway <天使之路> (in which Al Rocco also made a guest appearance), the netizen claimed that Naomi had “unclear” relationships with many of the staff members on the show.
To prove a point, the netizen “exposed” various pictures of Naomi with Edison, as well as a screen shot of their alleged message exchange. The netizen’s story quickly caught the attention of the Internet and went viral, and it negatively impacted Naomi’s image and career, even affecting her private life.
On December 6, a close friend of Naomi’s posted a long essay on Weibo to defend her. The friend said Naomi had received a lot of hate messages and harassment when the rumors broke out. It took an emotional toll on Naomi, and she attempted suicide.
Naomi’s friend then shared a picture of Naomi receiving treatment in the emergency room—it turns out that Naomi had attempted to take her own life by slitting her wrist.
poor girl, even if all the news is true, people shouldn’t tarnish her name like that. this world has too many haters wanting to see people go down. | 2019-04-21T08:23:29Z | https://www.jaynestars.com/news/chinese-model-attempts-suicide-amid-rumors-that-she-cheated-with-edison-chen/ |
Let’s face it: No matter how beautiful it may be, uncomfortable jewelry doesn’t make sense. Nothing is promised a lifetime in the jewel box faster than a necklace that stabs a woman in the neck or chin, earrings that poke her in the cheek with each turn of the head, or a ring that slices skin on the surrounding fingers. Jewelry is, after all, an element of fashion—and stiff, painful jewelry is about as appealing as shoes that pinch.
It’s no surprise, then, that so many jewelry designers and manufacturers have been taking a softer approach to their collections. From flexible moving parts and woven, fabric-like designs, to pieces that incorporate actual fabric or comfy rubber and leather, this softer jewelry feels as good as it looks. | 2019-04-20T03:10:32Z | https://www.jckonline.com/magazine-article/soft-focus/ |

Nestled in the eastern bayside suburb of Manly, Brisbane, the ‘Boswell Boathouse’ draws the eye with its crisp and striking exterior: a Queenslander take on the classic Scandinavian summerhouse.
The typical elements of Scandi architecture served as inspiration for the design by HIA member, Kalka, and are cleverly interwoven inside and out.
‘The goal was to create a home that delivers modern style by way of good design, quality materials, features and fixtures,’ says Kim Bridle, Kalka’s interior design manager.
The Brisbane-based building company offers this restrained display home with modest upgrades to demonstrate that you don’t have to upgrade everything to create a beautiful home.
The surrounding neighbourhood and its close proximity to the nearby bay all played a part in the design team’s approach, from concept through to the polished end product.
‘We spent a lot of time driving the streets of Manly before we looked at the interior colour scheme and design, and even the furniture. Considering the surroundings of a home is important and we do this for all of our standalone displays in the suburbs; drawing from the area and designing for the area,’ Kim says.
Careful consideration was given to the Queensland climate and way of living, with the house being designed to optimise the Brisbane weather. A sharply slanted roof connects with white horizontal weatherboards across the upper storey, accented by a timber balcony and double garage door in charcoal. The lightweight James Hardie Scyon cladding responds well to the subtropical climate by quickly releasing heat built up during the day to the cooler night air.
Stroll around to the rear and you’re met with a reversal of the front design. Dark grey panelling – typical of the Scandi summerhouse – contrasted with white-framed glass sliding doors that spill out onto the entertaining area and backyard. This means outdoor living in the Brisbane weather can be enjoyed year-round.
‘We placed emphasis on a flexible and versatile layout so the home can be a backdrop to create your own personal style. Our homes are designed to separate the two main functions of a home – rest and play’, Kim says.
The lower level of the home features an open- plan space combining the kitchen, dining and living areas, which connect to the outdoor patio—and the upper level consists of the bedrooms and main bathroom.
Heightened ceilings throughout help to create a sense of openness and space and the windows have been positioned to ensure light and airflow floods the home.
The pale oak timber floors from Queensland Timber Flooring tie the rooms together and add a natural element to soften the black and white contrast. Other natural elements include wooden furniture, textured rugs and cushions.
Often accent pieces come last, but for Kalka, they are an integral part of the design process.
‘We put a lot of time and emphasis into the artwork selection of every home and often source original pieces from local artists, be that Brisbane-based, Queensland or Australian. For this home we purchased a limited edition photographic print of a boathouse on the water, captured by a very talented Brisbane-based photographer, Cara Rosenlund,’ Kim says.
The home uses Miele appliances and Grohe tapware throughout. ‘We tried to keep all of the finishes quite restrained,’ Kim says. Some feature tiling did sneak in, with a strip of black and white feature tiles from Ace Stone and Tile which were used to accentuate the kitchen splashback.
Kalka is experienced in working with small lots to create well-designed homes that not only optimise space and functionality but enhance the lives of those within. This stylish Scandi-inspired house, with its clean design and restrained colour palette, is destined to work for relaxed Queensland living. | 2019-04-19T23:19:01Z | https://hia.com.au/housing/projects/2018/scandi-summerhouse |

Research has now documented something that many have long suspected about medical errors by doctors. The recently presented paper shows that a physician that is burnt out or fatigued is more likely to have reported a serious medical mistake. Experts say that this makes sense in light of what we know about fatigue in healthcare providers, including doctors, nurses, paramedics and technicians. Significant fatigue and burnout can obviously lead to a tired healthcare worker that slow the thinking process. However, the fatigue and burnout can also create irritability and dulled clinical senses, leading to poor concentration and critical decision making. All of these can easily lead to various medical malpractice issues, such as a surgical mistake, wrong medication prescriptions or dosing, and even missed or delayed diagnosis. Patient safety advocates have long demanded that medical professionals maintain proper safety precautions, including ensuring proper sleep habits, maintaining safety protocols and monitoring for and dealing with risk factors for medical errors. Stories of surgical error or other malpractice issues are always a cause to take note and make serious changes to prevent recurrence. It is crucial to speak to an injury lawyer that specializes in medical malpractice lawsuits if you or someone you know suffered from an error due to the actions or inactions of a healthcare professional. This study further describes the association between medical mistakes and doctor fatigue or burnout.
This is a case of medical malpractice that dates back 14 years, when a woman received an epidural injection before giving birth. Apparently, when the doctor was attempting to inject the woman through an epidural needle, a section of the needle broke off inside of her spine. The doctor and hospital staff either didn’t notice the doctor’s error or tried to cover it up by not telling the patient. A New York medical malpractice lawyer explained that both scenarios would likely be considered medical negligence or fraud. The injury lawyer explains that doctors and nurses are obligated to check their equipment to ensure no instruments are left inside of the patient. Cases of medical equipment being left inside of a person’s body usually occur during surgery. However, delicate pieces of equipment, such as needles, are easily broken. Many patients worry about undergoing medical procedures in fear of mistakes or complications that are not corrected. In pregnancy, this fear increases for fear of the baby’s safety. Luckily the botched procedure didn’t cause a birth injury to the baby. The woman in this case continued to develop pain and complications from the doctor’s mistake. It wasn’t until the woman underwent a scan that doctors discovered the broken needle piece embedded in her spine. Experts are now concerned that the mistake may leave the woman paralyzed. They note that attempting surgery to remove it may lead to the very same problem as leaving it in her body. See this article for additional details about this patient’s epidural injection injury and claims about the doctor and hospital trying to cover up the mistake.
A slew of recent food recalls have included Perdue chicken found to have pieces of plastic in it, concerns of spoiled Bumble Bee cans of tuna, dangerous foreign objects such as shards of glass in Nestle frozen food products and Listeria contamination concerns with Starbucks breakfast sandwiches. Consumer safety activists have expressed grave concern regarding the nature of the potentially dangerous product recalls. They insist that improved safety control must remain the highest priority of all food manufacturers and not profits, as some companies believe. Some experts have questioned the speed at which some food recalls begin while others note that the extent of recalls and the advertising of them are lacking. Public health professionals explain that a dangerous food product must be removed from store shelves and supply warehouses immediately. However, some companies delay such decisions due to concerns regarding their image or loss of money due to a recall. Even once a hazardous product recall has been initiated, some businesses do a poor job of publicizing it, leaving customers at risk of illness, injury or death. Product liability is a serious concern and must be seen by corporations as more than a financial decision, but rather a human one. A top injury lawyer in New York City explains that many people get sick, suffer an injury or are victims of wrongful death due to simple negligence by companies that don’t take their responsibility seriously. Activists encourage all businesses to follow the good examples set by owners who follow through on their obligations to the public. If you or someone you know has been injured by a dangerous product, you have the right to speak to an attorney. Find more about the recent food product recalls here.
A woman was assaulted and bitten by a dog while walking for exercise several months ago. The dog attack resulted in the 63-year-old woman suffering fatal injuries. Police say that the woman was severely injured by dog bites over her entire body, including an arm amputation, face lacerations and head injury. The dog owner was arrested during the investigation after he was found to have marijuana plants growing in his house. Police explain that the man used his pit bull dogs to protect his drug manufacturing even after being warned multiple times of the aggressive nature of his dogs. Witnesses note that the dog’s owner was well-aware of the dangerous situation that his wild dogs posed but ignored the public safety hazard. This allowed prosecutors to pursue a murder charge against the man. This month, the court found the man guilty of murder due to the wrongful death of the woman as a result of his negligence.
A New York law firm with expertise in dog mauling lawsuits explains that this is an unusual conviction. Unfortunately, owners of a dog that’s involved in an assault usually are able to claim innocence by claiming that they had no knowledge of the dangerous nature of their pet. In these cases, sometimes a civil case, such as a personal injury lawsuit or wrongful death lawsuit may be successful even when a criminal case is not. This may not place the dog owner into jail but can allow the dog attack victim or his/her family to recover money to pay for medical bills for injuries or even a funeral, if applicable. A victims of a dog assault is advised to seek the counsel of an injury lawyer with experience in dog mauling cases. Find out more about this dog attack here.
An industry report shows that just one insurance company in New York State paid out $6.4 Million in dog bite attack claims last year. Specialists say that the statistics are similar for other insurance carriers who pay hundreds of millions of dollars to injured victims of assaults by dogs. They explain that very often the dog attack could have been prevented by simply putting the canine on a leash or containing it inside of a fence. However, many dog owners are negligent and create a dangerous condition for others that share the sidewalks, streets and public parks. Public safety activists note that dog owners sometimes think that their dog is safe and well trained while the reality is that even small things can set the animal off, triggering a vicious assault. Even dogs that are on a leash as well as small dogs can pose a threat and require close monitoring, especially while in public. The unsuspecting assault victim, often young children, can suffer severe and evening life threatening injuries in the matter of seconds. Common dog attack injuries include lacerations, cuts, broken bones, head injury or even internal bleeding. The long-term effects of the trauma can lead to infections, brain damage, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), dog bite associated diseases and even death.
Police relate that local, state and federal laws regarding dog safety are in place to prevent injuries and wrongful death due to someone being attacked by a dog. In response to inquiries, they answer that owners of dogs that bite someone face fines and personal injury lawsuits. In some circumstances, the owner may face criminal charges for battery, especially if the dog was a known danger or the owner knowingly created a hazardous condition. Homeowner and renter’s insurance policies often contain a third party liability policy that helps cover the cost of a negligence lawsuit and medical bills arising from dog bites. Victims of a dog assault can speak to a qualified personal injury lawyer for further advice. This can include a general passerby, visitor or even a workman injured while at work.

The dietary supplement called Mass Destruction has been flagged by the Food and Drug Administration as potentially causing liver damage. The agency has received reports of illness and health damage possibly caused by the body building dietary supplement. According to experts, this is not an isolated incident though. They say that products marketed as “natural” or “herbal” or as “dietary supplements” have often been linked to health problems and illness. The liver and kidneys can easily be injured by these substances, causing liver failure or renal failure. Other dangerous side effects can also occur due to some of the ingredients placed into these dangerous dietary supplements. There is little oversight or control over these products by the federal or state governments. Health professionals note that proper medical safety testing has usually not been performed on these types of products, yet they are still marketed as safe or even as healthy. In addition, there is a lot of money to be made in selling these products, even if they are potentially unsafe. Experts say that the business of manufacturing and selling supplements has become a booming multi-billion dollar industry.
Many of the dangerous products are sold on the internet but even when they are sold in stores, they are still difficult to monitor. Consumer health consultants say that manufacturers and promoters of the products claim all kinds of health or wellness benefits with little-to-no evidence. To attempt to legally cover themselves, the companies will usually include a disclaimer on their labels that says something like, “this statement has not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration.” Other attempts by companies to skirt their legal responsibilities to consumers include posting statements like, “this product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease.” However, an injury lawyer in Manhattan, New York explains that this doesn’t absolve these manufacturers and the stores that sell the dangerous items from responsibility. Potentially misleading advertising is something that must be looked at closely in order to fully evaluate a given situation. Personal injury lawsuits may be filed against a company or individual that knowingly puts the public in danger by selling dangerous products that can cause illness or a health hazard. Professional investigation is usually needed to determine if negligence or deceit was involved with the production, advertising and sale of such hazardous products. Find out more about this recent warning and health scare in this article.
New York – A Queens hospital held a conference to discuss traffic accidents and injuries this past Thursday. The hospital’s head of the neurosurgery department organized the meeting in an attempt to prevent car crashes, bicycle accidents and pedestrian injuries that have become so common on the local roads. Neurological and neurosurgical injuries that are often treated by the hospital can include a traumatic brain injury with hemorrhage, concussion, spinal cord damage and vertebral fractures as well as nerve damage. Soon after the hospital’s conference, a New York City transportation safety advocacy group held an awareness demonstration. At the rally and march, the activists demanded improved road safety with enforcement of traffic laws and education of both drivers and pedestrians. In addition, they explained the importance of proper road and sidewalk design to prevent car accidents but also to protect people in case of a collision. A top New York accident law firm has applauded the safety efforts of everyone involved, noting that an injury suffered by an accident victim can leave the person disabled and unable to care for him or herself. Many injuries can even be fatal.
Raising further concern, the Fire Department of New York’s Emergency Medical Services branch shared some of the horrifying statistics regarding crashes and injuries in the city. More than 14,000 pedestrians and bicyclists were hurt in a road accident last year. The police department has been criticized by some for their lax policies on investigating accidents and issuing tickets. Some improvements with their policies are pending and these will hopefully improve the situation, as we’ve discussed in this forum in the past. In the meantime, many injury victims find it necessary to speak to an accident lawyer to help advocate for their rights. | 2019-04-24T22:26:44Z | https://morrisonwagner.com/tag/injury-lawyer/ |

Hot, I would live your take on the Feliner.
I love your work it's really inspiring and motivating me these days to draw.
Any chance they might reimagine the Thundercats with your designs in mind? Or have they already and I am out of the loop as usual? | 2019-04-20T18:28:33Z | http://gotcheeks.blogspot.com/2008/02/panthro-revisited.html |
Hiroyuki Kamao, Atsushi Miki, Junichi Kiryu; Rock inhibitor-induced enhancement of retinal pigment epithelial cell adhesion. Invest. Ophthalmol. Vis. Sci. 2018;59(9):5325.
Purpose : For the transplantation of human retinal pigment epithelium (RPE), improving cell adhesion is essential, and the focal adhesion (FA) can serve as a good indicator of this status. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of Rho kinase (ROCK) inhibitor Y27632 on FA of RPE in vitro.
Methods : Human RPE cells were cultured in media with or without Y27632. A luminescent cell viability assay was performed to investigate the effect of Y27632 on cell adhesion. The FA evaluated were the mean size of each cell and FA, number of FA per cell, and total area of FA per cell. These results were evaluated by immunofluorescence images of vinculin, which is one of the markers of FA. The expression levels of vinculin in RPE with or without Y27632 were also studied by real-time RT-PCR.
Results : The number of adhered cell was increased by supplementation of 10 µM Y27632. The mean size of each cell and FA, number of FA per cell, and total area of FA per cell was 1990.8 µm2, 2.48 µm2, 54.0 spots, and 387.0 µm2 in the control, and 2969.6 µm2, 0.77 µm2, 98.4 spots, and 746.7 µm2 in 10 µM Y27632-treated RPE, respectively. Expression levels of vinculin in Y27632-treated RPE were 1.51-fold higher than those in the control.
Conclusions : The inhibition of ROCK signaling by 10 µM Y27632 promoted cell adhesion due to the increase of the number and total area of FA per cell and the expression levels of vinculin. Thus, 10 µM Y27632 could be a great potential supplement for RPE transplantation. | 2019-04-25T20:48:53Z | https://iovs.arvojournals.org/article.aspx?articleid=2692711 |

It’s January. Beware of the barrage of fad diets. After a few weeks of holiday indulgence, many people make a vow for a New Year’s resolution of dieting. Weight loss schemes abound to bribe you into buying pills, patches, and products. “Walk into my parlor,” said a spider to a fly. The deception of dieting is found on television, social media, internet, magazines. Run away from the diet demons. Don’t get stuck in the weight loss trap.
Diet pills, diet foods, and diet books rake in mega monies—while scamming the weight-preoccupied and pondering public. Drug manufacturers try to mesmerize the masses with magic mixtures and mammoth lies.
The National Institutes of Health provided a summary of research on the safety and efficacy of the most commonly used ingredients in dietary supplements (capsules, tablets, liquids, powders, bars) on their website. The results found “the evidence supporting the use of dietary supplements to reduce body weight and stimulate weight loss is inconclusive and unconvincing, and the cost of these products can be considerable.” www.ods.od.nih.gov/.
“Losing a lot of weight quickly through a crash diet, for example, can lead to weakened immune systems, dehydration and cardiac stress,” according to an article on the PBS News Hour (WOSU Public Media). www.pbs.org/.
Decades of research show that diets can work in the short-term, but most gain back the weight. Food restriction does not work in the long-term.
1. Diets don’t work. Dieters lose weight and quickly regain it.
2. Dieting can be dangerous. Each year dieting is related to injuries and sudden deaths from electrolyte imbalance, malnutrition, and heart arrhythmias.
3. Dieting causes weight to cycle up and down. Weight cycling, or yo-yoing weight, is associated with higher death rates.
4. Dieting can make you feel tired and lightheaded. Your body may not be getting the energy it needs, or may lack certain nutrients.
5. Dieting disrupts normal eating. Dieting can lead to binge eating, overeating and chaotic eating patterns. Dieters override their internal signals, so often they don’t know when they are hungry or when they’re full.
6. Dieting can lead to disordered eating. Many experts believe the high rates of eating disorders in the U.S. are due in part to people dieting, losing weight, rebounding, and becoming chronic dieters.
7. Dieting can cause food preoccupation. People who diet and deprive themselves spend more time thinking about food and weight. This “drive to eat” is believed to be a survival trait.
8. Dieting diminishes women. Dieting reduces women to objects, with attention focused on their appearance, and keeps them playing the anticipation game. It erodes confidence and self-respect.
9. Dieting intensifies size prejudice. Dieters are more judgmental of themselves and others.
10. Diets put your life on hold. Live the life you want now. Accept and respect yourself as you are. Don’t wait for improvement.
Read the “9 non-diet New Years resolutions for 2019” by registered dietician Alissa Rumsey. Join her Ditch the Diet Challenge. www.alissarumsey.com.
An article from the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics provides some tips on how to identify and avoid fad diets, as well as some healthier tips to help you achieve your weight goals. www.eatright.org/.
If any diet drug, diet supplement, or fad food diet worked, whereas people both lost weight and kept weight off—the entire world would be buzzing. You can’t keep that kind of news a secret. Some individuals may lose weight in the short-term, but usually gain it back, and more, in the long-term. Fad diets are a recipe for failure.
Stop believing bogus advertisements with underweight models that are paid to pose with poise. Stop wasting your hard-earned dollars. Stop making scoundrels rich. Instead of burning calories and fat, weight loss supplements burn your money.
“Permanent weight loss is achievable only if realistic assessments every step of the way are provided and supported as part of the process,” according to a 2013 article in Psychology Today.
Weight loss and weight maintenance are complex and complicated problems.

Lock in a great price for Blythswood Square – rated 9.1 by recent guests!
Great decor. Best staff...super nice, professional and helpful. Great breakfast.
Beautiful,well appointed hotel. Upmarket yet very relaxed atmosphere. Super breakfast and dinner.
The room was very nice, and the bath sufficient for a regular sized person (unlike many hotel baths which have the appearance of a big sink). Staff were brilliant and always attentive. Restaurant food was really very good.
Our room was lovely, as was the public sitting room. The breakfasts were delicious. Our hosts were very helpful in giving us recommendations for dinner. The setting of the B&B was perfect. It was an easy walk to shops and restaurants.
The hotel appears to be centrally located and it occupies a grand older building in front of a small park. The staff was very attentive to our needs. The bed was comfortable.
Stylish, upscale hotel with a convenient, central location. Not sure what we booked, but got a very large room, with comfy bed and luxe bathroom that included a soaking tub. Staff helped us with some trip logistics and excellent recommendation for dinner within walking distance.
The hotel was beautiful and the staff were very helpful. The rooms were lovely and very spacious.
The original part of the building which includes the lobby, restaurant, and bar, is beautiful, and the new part where the guest rooms are located is excellent as well. The air conditioning works very well. The staff members are helpful and charming. Unfortunately, renovations are going on, which caused a nuisance for us because we had to use a slow elevator shared with the staff, but that was our only complaint. This is a top notch hotel.

Bed was so comfy and the access to the spa was fantastic, the call to the room to ask if we had everything we needed was great service.
The room service food was horrible, I had pasta which tasted like a microwave meal and my boyfriend had a pizza which was also rubbish! Not worth the price at all that’s the only thing that we were disappointed with.
Had a lovely stay on Friday night in the Blythswood, our room was amazing it was so big and the bed was really comfy! The spa was unreal so nice and relaxing, definitely recommend!
Fan in bathroom made a constant noise.
The staff were very professional and welcoming. The facilities were superb, the hotel gave us an upgrade as well.
Unfortunately our first room was in the nosiest position for the streets outside. We barely slept our first night due to boy racers in the streets of Glasgow. The Hotel were aware of these issues as had explained Police had previously been involved the past two weeks. The room which was in the older part of the building did not have secondary glazing which it would have greatly benefited from however understandable as it is a listed building. Staff were very apologetic and very accommodating as we requested a change of room. We moved from 222 to 5 and it was bliss. With a courtyard view it was exactly what I had initially requested for. Could not fault the service form reception and concierge staff. We thanked them enormously and were given a part refund. The only other thing i would say is The Spa could benefit from more checks within the changing rooms as on two occasions there were no towels available. Also one of the thermal experience rooms didn't appear to work as detailed on the Spa map of facilities. Very rarely saw any staff in this section of the hotel.
The rooms were beautifully laid out, breakfast was excellent and customer service was undoubtedly fantastic. Very comfortable beds and rooms were cleaned to very high standards. Staff were very helpful and friendly. Fantastic position for being within the city centre in Glasgow. Idyllic surroundings with Blytheswood Square opposite. Highly recommend this hotel. | 2019-04-18T13:23:42Z | https://www.booking.com/hotel/gb/blythswood-square.html |

Everyone is today concerned with physical health and beauty. Let us consider some hints for making ourselves beautiful from the inside too. Follow the following steps for a complete ‘inner’ make-up.
Firstly, cleanse the skin with a cleanser called ‘chastity’. If face reflects dryness and harshness, massage it with cold cream of ‘mental calmness’. Now apply a moisturizer of ‘purity’, then dab on a foundation of ‘prudence’. All movements to be upwards and uplifting. If skin is oily with ‘depression’, apply a skin toner of ‘cheerfulness’. Now dab on a little face powder of ‘generosity’. Apply blush-on of ‘warmth’ and a highlighter of ‘goodness’. Apply kohl of ‘modesty’. Eyeliner of ‘charity’ and ‘kindness’ adds sparkle to the eyes. Mascara of ‘power of observation’ can be applied. The lipstick of ‘silence’ is good for gossipy lips. Lip gloss of ‘optimism’ can be applied evenly. Cure for worry-lines, dark circles and wrinkles, is the regular and ample application of ‘faith’.
Now you are fit to be called a perfect beauty.
Inner beauty means the divine qualities gifted to us.
We are all souls and we have divine qualities like peace, happiness, love etc.
The more we use they develop, as you give to others means you are sowing the seeds of quality in others. Nurture. It will grow faster.
Inner beauty knows how to spread its irresistible fragrance all over the place. Then it will be really difficult to remain inconspicuous!
Best beauty tips: Laughter and love. This also keeps you young looking and feeling. Make up may make us think we look better, but that inner glow or lack of is always noticeable.
To give yourself the best odds of aging gracefully, stick to the basics first. Eat well. Exercise. Protect yourself from the sun. Don’t smoke. Breathe. Live with joy and find healthy ways to manage stress. Find a doctor you trust and maintain your overall health. Anything else you do on top of those choices, from spending on cosmetics and skin care products to choosing dermatological procedures, is only going to be effective if you’ve given yourself a great foundation for lifelong beauty.
The more your outer beauty is a critical aspect of your self-image and the more your self-esteem depends on it, the more willing you will be to spend money you might not have on cosmetic treatments. The more comfortable you are with yourself on the inside, the more likely you’ll probably be to go back to basics until things turn around. Inner beauty, thank goodness, tends to be free.
Know this: whatever your physical appearance, you are beautiful. You can consider this to be a nice idea, but I guarantee it is the absolute truth. If you believe yourself to have imperfections, whatever form they take, please use the questions and answers below to help you let go of those false ideas and beliefs that prevent you from experiencing the beauty that you are. Because the experience of that beauty is the only beauty worth having.
Whatever you do, don't try to be someone you're NOT. stay true to who you are because sometimes those lines get blurred.
how deeply it's hidden is based on what they do and/or how they act.
Never use makeup. Never try and make yourself pretty. God made you, not makeup and nice clothes. God doesn't make mistakes. Never try to improve yourself because its about whats on the inside. | 2019-04-19T19:00:57Z | https://www.beautyandgroomingtips.com/2006/05/inner-beauty.html |
The Biodiversity Heritage Library (BHL) boasts a fantastic collection of natural history and botanical artifacts. BHL has digitized over 100,000 titles from over 170,000 volumes of taxonomic literature.
“Much of the published literature on biological diversity is available in only a few select libraries in the developed world. These collections are of exceptional value because the domain of systematic biology depends, more than any other science, upon historic literature. Yet, this wealth of knowledge is available only to those few who can gain direct access to significant library collections. Literature about the biota existing in developing countries is often not available within their own borders. Biologists have long considered that access to the published literature is one of the chief impediments to the efficiency of research in the field. Free global access to digital literature repatriates information about the earth’s species to all parts of the world.” – Biodiversity Heritage Library.

The International Week of Happiness at Work is a Dutch initiative. Maartje Wolff and Fennande van der Meulen came up with the idea at the end of 2017 and launched the first Week of Happiness at Work in 2018, first in the Netherlands. Why? Because they believe that Happiness at Work is important. When employees are happy at work, they are better parents, better friends and better community members. The world will be a better place if more people are happy at work. It is their goal to connect as many employees, employers, organizations, governmental organizations and NGO’s to commit to more Happiness at Work. Maartje and Fennande wrote the Happiness at Work Manifesto, that reflects their beliefs on the topic. Read and sign the Manifesto here.
In 2018 they also introduced, together with Martín Leroy from Grupo Aukera from Argentine, the International Week of Happiness at Work, in cooperation with partners from all over the world. Want to do the same in your country? Read here how.
Maartje and Fennande founded their company Happy Office in 2015 because they believe that a paradigm change is necessary. From Profit to Purpose. From power to autonomy. From rules to freedom. From job satisfaction to Happiness at Work. With Happy Office they help companies to make the shift, looking at both the top-down and bottom-up perspective. They founded the Happy Office Academy in 2016 and launched the in-depth training to become a Happiness at Work Expert in the spring of 2017, followed by more in-depth modules.
Maartje and Fennande are certified Happiness at Work trainers from the Woohoo Academy in Denmark, certified team coaches Happiness at Work at the Happiness at Work academy in The Netherlands and graduates from the Executive Program ROI of Happiness at Erasmus University in Rotterdam, The Netherlands. | 2019-04-24T16:20:16Z | https://www.internationalweekofhappinessatwork.com/about-us/ |

IN THIS ORDER, "PERSONS OF THE JAPANESE RACE" MEANS, AS WELL AS ANY PERSON WHOLLY OF THE JAPANESE RACE, A PERSON NOT WHOLLY OF THE JAPANESE RACE IF HIS FATHER OR MOTHER IS OF THE JAPANESE RACE AND IF THE COMMISSIONER OF THE ROYAL CANADIAN MOUNTED POLICE BY NOTICE IN WRITING HAS REQUIRED OR REQUIRES HIM TO REGISTER PURSUANT TO ORDER-IN-COUNCIL P.C. 9760 OF DECEMBER 16th, 1941.
What does the 75th anniversary of the internment mean to mean to me as the child of internment survivors?
As the child of internment survivors Takeshi Norman and Sumiko (nee Hayashida), I have been asking myself this question a lot this year. World War Two was the worst of times for us as we were the victims of a cultural genocide that was meant to rid Canada of every person of Japanese descent. Sure, we have evolved, but, truly, Canada still has a very long way to go in respect to human rights, especially regarding the First Nations people.
Ah, I still shudder whenever I think about my young parents growing up in British Columbia concentration camps and on a Manitoba sugar beet farm. As much as we bemoan the fact that young Nikkei don’t know what their grandparents and great grandparents went through, truly how can they when Canadian teachers aren’t teaching our Japanese Canadian stories too?
Last year was a good one for those still fighting the good cause. The British Columbia government recognized more than 56 Japanese Canadian sites in that province as historical. Noteworthy too is the Landscapes of Injustice initiative by the University of Victoria led by Dr. Jordan Stanger-Ross to find out what really happened to the Japanese Canadian property that was taken by the government and never returned as it had promised.
forced to work on a sugar beet farm in McGrath, Alberta during WW2.
“To us both (Susan and Frank), each major anniversary that comes along brings back many flashback memories especially of the earlier worst past that we were trying to erase out of our memories to keep our sanity. The bullies and victims are all products of our upbringings and experiences so going by our Canadian values it’s up to all of us to try and better the good and fix the bad whether we were brought up properly or not to be good/bad human beings. As each anniversary passes, as Japanese Canadians (JCs) we see that we are moving forward slowly to reach our big picture goal of being accepted as ONE in every way. As we now move forward, the white supremacist origins of Canada as a country became less impactful in the way our fellow Canadians treat us JCs, other visible minority and changed with respect and equal rights. Highlights – changes of law to give us equality and voting rights in 1949, Multicultural Canada in 1987 and the fed’s 1988 apology just didn’t happen without involvement of hard work. Our JC community still continues to speak out against racial bigotry. All minorities are gaining from it. The JCs wanted to be accepted as ONE since day one when the initial Issei immigrants landed in Canada in the late 1800s, brought us up that way and worked hard together with the Feds and the younger generations are still working at it.
The Nikkei National Museum & Cultural Centre in B.C. are doing a great job developing educational courses of the TRUTHS what happened to the Japanese Canadians’ historic past for school education so now the Feds should work along with them to make it mandatory studies for all provinces. Education is a must to change for betterment.
We are very pleased with how things are moving forward for the JCs and our future generations. What is life all about anyways? Not hate! It’s all about sharing, happy living, laughing and love! CHANGE is the law of life for betterment and happiness by treating others the way you would like to be treated with respect and love - so CHANGE!

Birra Moretti La Rossa is a double bock beer produced using high quality 100% malted barley, giving it a rich sweet taste and an intense fragrance of roasted malt. The amber color that characterizes the beer, comes from the kind of malt used in the recipe (malt is dried, roasted barley). Another key ingredient is hops. The variety used is particularly aromatic, giving a characteristic bitter aftertaste and a delicate fragrance to the beer. The Master Brewers advise a service temperature between 10 and 12 degrees C. | 2019-04-24T01:50:09Z | https://www.bustersliquors.com/products/10049366/birra-moretti-la-rossa |

Radley Yeldar has launched the 2016 Fit for Purpose index, ranking the world’s most socially, environmentally and economically purposeful companies.
The Fit For Purpose Index assesses each company across four criteria: purpose and story, communication, performance, and behaviours.
The overall trend that surfaced in this year’s index was collaborative thinking; the top purposeful brands are collaborating with stakeholders and partners within and outside the company to embed purpose in authentic and meaningful ways.
The report is Europe’s only extensive review of brand purpose and measures how well brands are putting purpose into practice. Out of the top 100 companies ranked, 83 percent demonstrated some type of collaboration, with nearly half demonstrating robust collaboration overall and 70 percent of the top 20 engaging in a long-term partnership related to their purpose. | 2019-04-24T04:17:40Z | https://www2.deloitte.com/fi/fi/pages/about-deloitte/articles/most-purposeful-companies-in-Europe.html |

3D printing continues to offer us amazing news frequently, but one of the segments that there is much contact until now was with the smartphones. That could change with OLO, a unique device that convert your mobile into a 3D printer.
The Group of developers of OLO has launched a campaign on Kickstarter being a overwhelming success, and the truth is that this small box promises interesting surprises when it comes to access to a fast and convenient way to 3D printing.
OLO is a box with dimensions of 172 x 115 x 148 mm and a weight of 780 grams that does not seem to be able to do much. However it does so: take advantage of the light of our devices and the use of some very special resins This combination into 3D objects up to 76 x 128 x 52 mm. The printing mechanism reminds us much that we saw months ago with CLIP technology.
It is compatible with devices Android, iOS or Windows Phone/10 up to 5.8 inches diagonal, and it allows to print objects from different applications. We have available 4 materials and 5 colors for these resins that are key to development and that in fact are aimed at different segments (dental, engineering, business and marketing, etc) Although you can use them in any project that we need.
The first printers OLO they will be available in October, but its creators are already preparing a version for tablets and other more ambitious editions for objects with better resolution and larger size that will be launched in March and September 2017. Initial success is already assured, and it may be the definitive impulse to this promising segment. | 2019-04-24T16:06:24Z | https://www.printerhall.com/olo-is-the-amazing-device-that-converts-your-mobile-phone-into-a-3d-printer/ |
ECZEMA is a skin condition that causes a person’s skin to become red, itchy, dry and cracked. The symptoms, especially for children, can be extremely irritable. When one girl’s eczema resembled “sandpaper” her parents invented a “miracle” cream to treat it.
Eczema treatments recommended by the NHS include emollients and topical corticosteroids. But these treatments don’t always work for everyone. One youngster who battled eczema so severe it resembled “sandpaper” has repeatedly been cured after her parents invented a “miracle” cream to treat it. Rosie Mukherjee, 9, suffered for years with dry, cracked skin on the backs of her legs, inside her elbows and neck that often left her scratching, bleeding and unable to sleep at night.
Her parents, Caroline and Robert, tried countless moisturises and creams but nothing worked.
The couple, from Wickham in Hampshire, became so desperate they set about researching natural alternatives.
The Mukherjees met with an independent chemist and started formulating a gentle and healing cream themselves.
They claim, after just two weeks of using it on Rosie’s skin, it cleared it up.
In face, it was so effective Caroline and Robert went on to create their own international skincare brand.
Caroline, 41, who ran her own business selling children’s bath bombs and bath colour tablets called Mini-U and also has a son, Daniel, 20, said: “Rosie had been suffering from severe eczema for years and we tried literally everything including prescription creams and steroid creams but none of them worked at all.
“In fact, several made her worse.
“It was unbearable to watch as a parent, she was so itchy and her skin would often bleed and weep.
“Sometimes it looked like sandpaper and caused Rosie no end of pain. It took over her life at times.
Rosie’s eczema began when she was just three months old and she started to develop dry patches on the backs of her legs which grew progressively worse.
The Mukherjees tried applying a special baby moisturiser to Rosie’s skin, but it made no difference.
Eventually, they took their daughter, by now a toddler, to a doctor and she was diagnosed with eczema.
Caroline said: “Within a few months of Rosie first developing eczema, it had spread from her legs to the inside of her elbows and neck.
The skin cream Caroline and international sales manager Robert, 51, developed is anti-inflammatory and designed to heal, moisturise, reduce itchiness and create a hydrating, protective layer. They have also gone on to add other products including a natural baby shampoo, talc-free baby powder, nappy cream and hair and body wash. Rosie continues to use the cream and her skin remains clear.
Caroline said: “We spent night after night researching what the best ingredients for treating eczema were, online. Then we got in contact with a chemist through a friend and it took around three months to find the right mix to formulate the cream.
“When it was ready it took less than a fortnight of applying the cream to Rosie’s skin before it started to completely clear up -which was just incredible. We were amazed.
“From there, I guess with having my own experience of running Mini-U, we decided to go for it and turn selling Rosie’s cream into a business and Baby Kingdom Collection was born. We’ve had great reviews from people on Instagram and it has just been so fantastic that we have been able to help other parents treat their children’s eczema too.
Some experts have found certain supplements can help relieve symptoms of eczema. | 2019-04-23T22:48:07Z | https://www.express.co.uk/life-style/health/1104307/eczema-cream-treatment-rash-baby-moisturiser-shampoo |
