Unlike ‘all over color’ where you must continually color your hair regrowth (the average persons hair grows about half an inch per month), an ombre color service allows your natural color to grow in without coloring, but you maintain the ombre look and style. It’s a hot hair fashion trend that will keep your look “up to date” without as many visits to the salon.\nOmbre Hair Color is Flexible and Creative\nOmbre color can be done on all lengths and ages with a variety of colors from subtle varying shades of blonde to radical contrast, anything goes! You can get\nWith Ombre color the root area is darker so it camouflages the regrowth in most cases. This is why the maintenance isn’t so urgent. Equally creative and attractive are Rombre (reverse ombre) and Sombre (soft ombre) Hair Color services. We explain the differences in our article entitled Ombre, Sombre or Rombre Hair Color.\nAdding your choice of a transitioning color with an Ombre technique can give you the change you’re looking for and spice things up a little, or a lot. This look can be worn on straight, wavy or curly hair styles so it’s very versatile.\nGet creative with your hair designer and put together your one of a kind formula.

{"text": "2009.07.14 > For Immediate Release\ncontact: Wendy Townley - University Relations\nphone: 402.554.2762 - email: wtownley@unomaha.edu\nAviation Students Nationally Recognized by FAA\nOmaha - The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) recently presented the University of Nebraska at Omaha (UNO) a third-place award at the 2009 Design Competition for Universities.\nJoseph Rotterdam, Jess Potthoff and Michael Cameron – students in UNO’s Aviation Institute – were honored in the category of Airport Management and Planning Challenge. Rotterdam recently graduated with a bachelor's degree from UNO; Potthoff and Cameron are UNO graduate students.\nTheir project, “Technology-based Communication Solutions for Reduced Fuel Consumption in the Airport Environment,” aims to reduce airline fuel consumption.\nAs part of the competition, students are required to contact airport operators and industry experts to advise them in their proposals and help them assess the benefits of their proposal. Earlier this year the three students conducted face-to-face interviews with leading management at Continental Airlines, both at the Continental Airlines headquarters in Houston, Texas, and at the Continental Hub Operations Center at the nearby George Bush Intercontinental Airport.\nWhat follows are excerpts from the proposal, which better details the project.\nFuel is an important resource to many stakeholders in the aviation industry. Airports rely on fuel to power vehicles and maintenance equipment. Ground handlers rely on fuel to power tugs, baggage belts, and other service equipment. Finally, airlines rely on fuel to power the aircraft and move passengers from point to point. High energy prices and a renewed effort to reduce harmful emissions led to several new technologies and procedures aimed at mitigating these two issues. The following research is in response to the Federal Aviation Administration’s Airport Design Competition, specifically looking at ways to reduce fuel consumption in the airport environment. Two technologies have been identified that can reduce fuel consumption for airlines, both on the ground and in the air: ADS-B and data link.\nADS-B uses a combination of ground stations located on or near airports, GPS satellites, and aircraft avionics to give pilots and controllers an accurate depiction of traffic, both on the ground and in the sky. This depiction is then used by air traffic controllers and other pilots to gain awareness of what is happening around them. The system relies on continuous broadcasts of aircraft position, speed, and other information that is sent to ground stations and other properly equipped aircraft. Because aircraft position data is obtained through satellites, ADS-B is much more accurate than current ground-based radar and is highly effective during periods of severe weather and poor visibility.\nData link is a digital means to transmit information from the ground-based controller to the airborne pilot (Navarro & Sikorski, 1999). Unlike conventional voice-based air traffic control (ATC) communications technology, the Controller Pilot Data Link Communication (CPDLC) system allows pilots and controllers to exchange text-based messages via specifically designated data links, thereby reducing voice communication congestion (Baik & Trani, 2005). CPDLC currently uses Very High Frequency (VHF) or satellite communication link to route text messages that are then displayed on the Flight Management System (FMS) or Aircraft Communication Addressing and Reporting System (ACARS) screens in the cockpit (Nolan, 2004). CPDLC build 1 consists of four basic services: Transfer of Communications (TOC) for directing a pilot to change the assigned voice frequency, Initial Contact (IC) for verification of the pilot’s assigned altitude, Altimeter Setting (AS) for up-linking barometric pressure data, and Menu Text (MT) for up-linking a predefined set of text messages.\nAs part of their prize, the three UNO students received $1,000 from the FAA.\n“The FAA competition offers our students the opportunity for practical application of the skills and knowledge developed in their courses at UNO,” said Scott Tarry, director of the UNO Aviation Institute. “We’re extremely proud of the team and grateful for the support provided by Continental Airlines. The students’ interaction with the airline’s staff added considerable value to the learning experience and the final report.”\nThe competition was created for college students, working with a faculty member, to address airport operations and infrastructure issues and needs. Students were presented with a variety of technical challenges relating to airport operations and maintenance, runway safety, airport environmental interactions, and airport management and planning.\n* * *"}

{"text": "Like most of us, the current turmoil in British politics has seen Johnny Flynn – actor, folk musician, the kind of multi-hyphenate who plays the hurdy-gurdy – spend the past few weeks doom-scrolling and current-affairs-obsessing. Flynn is a multitasker. He is obsessed with news anchors and reporters and follows many of them on Twitter, noting, with alarm, how they think social media is the most important thing in the world. He now wakes up each morning with such genuinely worrying thoughts as: I wonder what Jacob Rees-Mogg said about Liz Truss last night. He likens the fearful voices drowned out by the media circus to a character in a Greek tragedy. Cassandra, he reckons, was destined to tell the truth but be ignored (Flynn is not against a classical reference). He finds it all horrible and depressing and dispiriting. He loves it.\nFor while it’s purgatory for the rest of us, for Flynn, it’s also research. He’s currently in Belfast, midway through shooting a new series called The Lovers, where he’s playing a self-obsessed political journalist – a “slightly younger Robert Peston or Andrew Marr”, he says, “one who is in with the millennials, or at least thinks he is”.\nFlynn is a rare creature: not a musician-turned-actor, which is common; not an actor-turned-musician, rarer but hardly a unicorn; but someone who has had two fully formed careers from the get-go. He has, therefore, been able to choose how they intertwine. There’s his work on screen: Lovesick, Emma, Stardust, The Dig, Genius; he’s released five studio albums and counting – the latest, Lost in the Cedar Wood, made in collaboration with a nature writer in lockdown. There’s theatre – Jerusalem, Twelfth Night – and he has composed everything from The Detectorists’ theme tune to the Globe’s production of As You Like It, for which he used only period instruments. (He is quite possibly the only person alive to have written music for the nyckelharpa, the hurdy-gurdy and the hardingfele, a kind of Norwegian fiddle.) Flynn is pretty sure he has ADD.\nOn Zoom, his shy, distracted manner – hair wrestled this way and that, eye contact only ever fleeting – suggests someone forever worrying about what else he could be doing. Which is perhaps why, for his latest project, he’s decided to do several things at once. The Score, set to be released this September, is both a crime thriller and a musical that uses Flynn’s own songs to punctuate it. Starring Flynn and Will Poulter as a mismatched criminal duo, this modern musical seems a natural fit for Flynn.\nYet he hasn’t watched one on stage for years. “These days,” he says, “I feel constantly failed by them. I stopped paying to see musicals in the days of the band biopic musical, because I found them really awful.”\nFlynn himself has form in this area. For a time, he was cast as the drummer Roger Taylor in the much-mocked 2018 Queen biopic Bohemian Rhapsody, pulling out after multiple cast and script changes. “There was a sense that nobody could agree on which story to tell,” he says, “and nothing against the surviving members of Queen, but they were very protective of Freddie’s legacy.”\nIt’s something Flynn came up against again when cast as a young David Bowie in the 2020 biopic Stardust. Unlike the stage-to-screen jukebox vehicles, Stardust aimed to do something more ambitious: tell the tale of a pre-superstardom Bowie on his first trip to the US. Yet Bowie’s gatekeepers refused to license any of his music.\nThe Score, therefore, puts Flynn in a unique position. For once, he wasn’t an actor at the mercy of a musical gatekeeper. He was the musical gatekeeper.\nThe film’s writer-director, Malachi Smyth, didn’t set out to write a gangster-musical, but was listening to Flynn’s music while writing it, then thought “something was missing, and realised he wanted to put in the songs”.\nFlynn, though, read the script without any idea of his music’s proposed involvement.\n“I took it home and, page one, it’s like, ‘Oh, the characters are singing a Johnny Flynn song.’ I suppose my reaction was, wow, that’s weird. And also a small sense of… I’ve been writing musicals recently. You know? It’s something I wanted to do…”\nLike those gatekeepers of Queen and Bowie, he briefly pondered his legacy (“Some of the songs I wrote when I was 20 years old…”), but in the end said yes on one condition: under no circumstances, he told them, would he play the lead role. They agreed. It went to Poulter instead.\nAs Flynn puts it: “There’d be something gross and vainglorious about playing the romantic lead in a film that’s using all my own songs…”\nUntil the age of four, Flynn lived in South Africa. His father found success there after moving to marry his second wife – Flynn’s mother. Aged three, Flynn was attacked by a Staffordshire bull terrier. The scars are barely perceptible now, but I tell him that a line referring to them in The Score (“You never forget a face like that. Trust me you try,” a character says at one point) made me wince. Wasn’t he bothered?\nNo, he says. If anything, it’s helped his career. “I started playing morally dubious characters a few years ago, and it was such a relief, as I’d [previously] gone down the route of always being chosen to be the youthful, sunny type… The fact that my scars now help me to get more ambiguous casting? I’m really grateful.”\nIt did affect him when he was younger. “For quite a while I wouldn’t take off my Spider-Man mask,” he says, “so I was obviously self-conscious. It was quite serious. I’m pretty lucky. The pictures from the time were awful. There’s just a massive hole in my cheek. I had to have reconstructive surgery.” Yet at school, he says, there was an upside. “I think it gave me a bit of kudos. My nickname at school was Scarface for a while. Which was better than the previous one, Rubber Johnny.”\nFlynn’s father, Eric, was an actor in musical theatre, introducing his son to both music and acting at a young age. Yet his father’s greatest desire, Flynn says, was that none of his children follow in his footsteps. In this he did not succeed: both of Flynn’s older brothers and his sister are actors.\nFlynn reckons the hope they’d choose a different path came from a place of care. When the family moved back to the UK, his father was regularly out of work. They moved home often, and there was little by way of stability. Flynn senior didn’t want the same for his kids, and made it clear. “My dad really tried to stop me,” Flynn has put it previously. “He wasn’t happy at all. I think because it had been pretty touch-and-go with paying our rent when I was a kid.”\nDespite the limited finances, Flynn attended two prestigious boarding schools on musical scholarships – first The Pilgrims’ School, in Winchester, where he learned the violin and the trumpet, then Bedales School, near Petersfield, by which time he’d taught himself the guitar.\nFlynn remembers his first school leading role – a one-act Harold Pinter play called The Lover consisting of just him and a co-star. He remembers the thrill of it; the intensity of acting. His father had come to watch, and Flynn ran towards him after the show, eager for approval. “And I remember for 10 minutes him talking about how amazing [his co-star] Tasha was. And then he turned to me and said: ‘You need to keep your hands still.’”\n“He sensed it was what I wanted to do, and so he needed me to get it right,” Flynn says now. Eric died from cancer when Flynn was 18. He still keeps his dad’s old Casio watch in a box that he and his wife, Beatrice Minns – with whom he has three children – keep on their mantelpiece, where they keep their most treasured possessions. It still, he says, smells of him. For a few years, Flynn also held on to hundreds of his father’s old polyester shirts, but eventually realised it was healthier to let them go.\nIt was only when Flynn applied to drama school that he and his father really clashed regarding his artistic pursuits. His father wanted him to take an English degree and train as a teacher – something sensible, safe; something with options.\nFlynn got into Webber Douglas – a prestigious but unglamorous London drama school – just before his father died. Flynn thinks, he says, that his father would have ultimately been OK with that, even if he would have preferred his son had won a place at the more well-known Rada, from which he’d graduated.\nYet it’s not hard to detect his father’s influence in Flynn’s insistence at keeping up his dual career paths. What better way to be practical? Before lockdown, Flynn had recorded his last two studio albums around performing. Often, he’ll record all day, before heading to the theatre at night.\nWhen he was younger, Flynn tells me, his father would often take him to play pool, but would never let his son win. He was only eight when they started to compete.\n“I’m making him sound incredibly cruel,” Flynn says, “he was very loving… there was an honesty to him. He was nothing but honest. He expected you to understand you had a handicap and the best you could do was do better than last time. It involved doing a lot of maths as a kid.”\nFor Flynn, countless losses later, he identified a way to win in pool by exploiting his father’s longsightedness. “I just had to take seven years to work it out.” It was, he supposes, “a big, long, overarching life lesson”, though he isn’t entirely sure for what. Keep trying, perhaps? Success is hard, possibly? Or maybe just keep your options open, you never know when your big break will come.\nNext up, Flynn will be starring in a TV remake of The Talented Mr Ripley, playing the privileged Dickie Greenleaf opposite Andrew Scott’s Tom Ripley. No doubt there’ll be more theatre, more music, more compositions, too. For Flynn, however, the distinctions between the different worlds he straddles have started to fade.\nAs with all his roles now, Flynn didn’t so much think of his latest part’s character, but about his rhythm: the tempo and pace with which he moves. It might be an unconventional approach to performance, but to hear Flynn talk about it, it’s obvious – at least to him. “I love breaking down characters in terms of rhythm because rhythm is a thing that defines us,” he says. “The way we move is how we meet the world.”\nThe Score will be released in UK cinemas on 9 September"}
{"text": "4 Signs Your Company Could Benefit From A Custom Software Solution\nPeople often ask why a custom software solution is better for your business than out-of-the-box software. An out-of-the-box software solution has its place in business – it takes less time to implement and can be less expensive than custom software development. However, it’s important to note that much of what comes pre-packaged is never actually used. There is a finite limit to canned software capabilities that can impede business and production growth. Also, the overall lack of customizable options slows down the long term scalability of any business.\nIn comparison, while custom software is usually more expensive than its counterpart, it is tailored to a specific business, and will grow alongside your brand. Your business can also obtain an advantage over competitors since you will have a solution that is tailored to you, and, therefore, by definition, not available to them. This results in you becoming more efficient and productive overall.\nRecognize When You Need a Custom Software Solution\nRegardless of the type or size of your business, there is a variety of workflow processes which you consistently approach using the same strategy. If you want to achieve a more tailored and responsive result, then bespoke software can’t be beaten. For example, if your business has a workflow issue in any or all of the following areas, then it may be time to look into obtaining custom software.\n1. Documentation workflow: Regardless of the type of documentation your business needs, the various steps it uses to process documents can be integrated using a bespoke software solution.\n2. Customer management: You can set custom software to sync your online contact form so that it stores and categorizes information, which can then be used for promotions, newsletters, etc.\n3. Online marketing: Bespoke software can be configured to automatically add site visitors to your email subscription list when they respond to a call-to-action such as downloading a resource or eBook. It can also help manage your social media accounts by posting articles automatically.\n4. Data entry: The use of automated scripts eliminates much of the hassle and time that is associated with the data entry process. Not only that, it also reduces the risk of human error.\nThese tasks are fairly common functions across most industries, and you may be wondering why bespoke software would make a difference.

{"text": "Apple may be betting on wearable computing as the next big thing, with The New YorkTimesreporting rumours that the tech giant is working on a smart watch.\nFollowing the Kickstarter success of smart watch startup Pebble, which recently sent its devices to early backers, the report states an iOS-based watch could be in the works.\nApple does not respond to speculation, and there is no official confirmation from the company. But just like the rumours of a real Apple TV, reports surrounding an iWatch have been circulating for a while. The Times reported in 2011 that both Apple and Google had set their sights on wearable computing.\nApple’s product would reportedly have an edge over competitors thanks to breakthroughs in curved glass, which essentially could be worn around the wrist. Corning, the company that makes the Gorilla Glass used on iPhone screens, announced last year it had made a breakthrough in bendable glass, dubbed Willow Glass, which could potentially be used to manufacture these new devices.\nAt this point, Apple’s entry into this market is all speculation, but the move to wearable computing is already underway. Beyond Pebble, there’s Nike’s FuelBand which tracks exercise and movement and sends that information to your phone. As well, Google founder Sergey Brin was photographed on a New York subway last month wearing Google Glasses, the company’s tech-enabled spectacles. That fuelled speculation that the company has plans to have them in the hands of developers by the end of the year, and to consumers shortly thereafter."}

{"text": "It's a defensive focused formation, no doubt. This is Warzycha we are talking about.\nTo date, the formation has succeeded in only allowing an even 1.00 goals per game. If you dig a little bit deeper you'll also see that this team has not allowed more that two goals on the year. Going back to last year, it has only happened three times. To this degree, the Crew have been successful.\nAlso, it should be mentioned... very Polish.\nSo, how about the DM's the Crew trot out every week? There have been a few of them and they have a decent amount of minutes played of which to compare 2013 players.

We've done the homework here. Three different player ratings gives us an accurate picture of who should start. Ok.\n--------\nWait. What about opponent difficulty when playing? Gosh, I almost forgot.\nAvg Opponent Rank : Name\n10.0 : Matias Sanchez\n10.8 : Tony Tchani\n13.1 : Danny O'Rourke\n14.0 : Agustin Viana\nThing here is that O'Rourke and Viana have played against the weakest competition. What this suggests is that the reason they are rated highest is because they have played crappy teams.\n...and here is where Opta and most other player rating systems fail. They don't take into consideration the quality level of the opposing player.\n--------\nI'm working on it though. Draw your own conclusions on which DM should play this weekend. For me?\nWell, I'm going to keep crunching the numbers."}

{"text": "How to read and write block from/to a datanode.\nLets start from the blocksender – who “Reads a block from the disk and sends it to a recipient.”\nThere might be two methods out of all that interest people the most, sendBlock and sendPacket. Since sendBlock is actually using sendPacket, I will went through the code of sendPacket first.\nAll the input arguments are fairly straightforward except for the “transferTo”, which “use transferTo to send data”. So what is “transferTo”? transferTo was added into hadoop by Raghu Angadi in this jira ticket. And he claimed that it might reduce the datanode CPU by 50% or more. Clearly, it is some sort of java function to transfer data in a much more efficient way. Here is a much detail explanation of how transferTo works. It basically moves the data from one fileChannel to another one directly without “copying” it. It is better than writing a for loop and move the data bits by bits from one channel to another.\nThis paragraph of code above is how the data node actually sends data out, in two different mode. The “normal transfer” is basically using the “hadoop.io.IOUtils.readFully” to read the data using a while loop from the inputstream and write it to the output buffer.\nIf the flag “transferTo” has been turned on, it will go straight to the “socket” part of code. First write the header and checksum, then write the data part using transferToFully function. On the other hand, if the “transferTo” flag has been turned off, it will do the normal transfer first, send the data first to verify the checksum, then write the header/checksum/data together to the buf. Beyond of the codes here, there are some exception catch and logging code which I won’t explain here.\nIt is much easier to understand the “sendBlock” class after going through “sendPacket”, because it basically first determine what the size of `pktBufSize` should be. There is an interesting thing here. When the flag transferTo is true, the `pktBufSize` is only the sum of the `PacketHeader.PKT_MAX_HEADER_LEN` and `checksumSize * maxChunksPerPacket`. The first adder is basically a place holder large enough to hold the limited biggest header. However, the second adder is only the number of bytes for all the checksums. Yes, it doesn’t create a packet buffer big enough to hold the data. You might be so confused if have not followed through the `sendPacket`, actually when you are doing `transferTo`, the way how data got transferred is directly move data from one fileChannel to another fileChannel and in this case, you even don’t need to buffer to be used for the temporary buffer to hold the “copying” data. Now we can see it not only improves the CPU performances but also saves tons of space when transferring the data. Of course, if you are not using `transferTo`, it will create a buffer that big enough to hold chunk data and checksum data for so so many chunks per packet.\nAfter the buffer got successfully created, the javaNIO will allocate enough space to create pktBuf, and then send the block packet by packet.\nIn the end:\n(1) Why is ‘transferTo’ so fast? Answer: DMA(Direct Memory Access)\n(3) How buffer works in Java."}

In any case, the Concord Freestyle is a rare and cool-looking old school freestyle bike. The Concord Freestyle kind of reminds me of the old Jamis Laser 2001, as the Concord delivers a slightly skewed design and really high quality hidden in an obscure (and nearly forgotten) name brand. Some aspects of the frame are actually very similar to the Laser. So are the accessories, which include an Odyssey Rotor, Dia-Comp brakes, and OGK nylon mag wheels.

There are pros and cons to this, but one nice feature is it adapts to the context of the page you are viewing.\nIf you add the block to My Home or the homepage of your site then all activity across the site is shown. As you go into individual courses the results are specific to that course.\nThis means it can be used to replace the standard “recent updates” block and here we gain another benefit as the CUL block is scrolling and lazy loading, it only ever takes up a set amount of space on the page regardless of how many entries there are to display.\nThe set includes a second recent updates plugin which also scrolls and adds course images to the events.\nOne of the CUL set is a messaging plugin to capture events for the feed, and in another interesting twist Pau Ferrer Ocaña made a post about a “User message tray” in one of the developers forums recently\nWith a little luck these developments will come together in the not too distant future to offer Moodlers the option of using Activity Feeds either as blocks or in a message tray within the theme!"}
{"text": "He is the only man whose intelligence I’ve ever respected, says Carole Lombard, who, for the first time, tells the inside story of her courtship and marriage and why she believes she’s the happiest bride in Hollywood\nBy: Gladys Hall\nIf you think that Carole Lombard Powell must be an unusual kind of bride, you are about to discover your error. And if you suppose that William Powell must be a different kind of bridegroom, you’re as poor a guesser as a football expert. The only way they are unusual is that they are usually bride-and-groom-ish fora pair of Hollywood newlyweds.\nCarole used to be known as rather “hard” and scornful and given to stories NOT for children. Bill was rated everywhere as suave, sophisticated, and polished. But they’re through playing those roles. Love has ripped away their superficial surface and they are human, after all. They are a young couple getting the biggest thrill of their lives. They are decidedly Like That. They are languid and longing when apart, and unable to talk about much but one another. They hold hands when together. They stay at home evenings.\nThere has been quite a bit in print anent the Lombard-Powell romance and marriage — the why and wherefore of it. There is also much that has not been printed. Now that she has had a few weeks in which to think things over, Carole has things to say that she has never said before.\nThat first meeting of theirs on a studio set — it assumes a proportion now that it didn’t have then or even immediately after. She had been a fan of his. (She has neglected to state this before.) She had always through he had a certain something she had never met in any man before. She was a very busy girl without much time to analyze herself, but when she did have time she knew that the Powell personality made her rather — well, restless.\nIn that moment of their introduction, she declares, they actually and physically felt something click. She fell in love with him for his intelligence, as nearly as she can label it now, looking back over her left shoulder. You see, she had never met an intelligent actor before. She had encountered the wisecracking, smart, with-a-patter type, yes. Intelligence is of different stuff. Bill fell in love with Carole the instant he saw her. He can’t say why — even now. He just waves his hands and says, “Oh, everything…” There is nothing about Carole he would change. Not one thing.\nWithin ten minutes of the first meeting, Bill was saying, “I think marriage is the only ideal state, don’t you?”\nAnd he didn’t expect that Carole would see through the naiveté he so pitifully tries to make sound slike a casual comment. But she did. She remembers that she did — now. A shrewd and perceptive person, this fair-haired, gray-eyed Lombard lass.\nCarole didn’t think that marriage was the ideal state for her. She had never been married, but she has those gray eyes, widely set and comprehensive. And she has used them — ever since, when a child of sixteen, she entered a studio and began her evasions of married men. It doesn’t make very pleasant hearing — Carole telling about the men. One man, now a star, tried to — well, it took an electrician on the set to call off the dog. It was this sort of thing that developed in Carole a form of protective coloration. She had to pretend to be hard. She had to tell funny stories to ward off amorous advances. She had to be scornful to those who would prey upon softness. Bill was the first man to penetrate her disguise.\nShe was afraid at first that she and Bill wouldn’t get along. They were too different. She was afraid he would be the jealous type. He sorta acted that way. But he persisted and she surrendered, dear…\nThey wanted to be married quietly, with just the families. Carole thinks Hollywood weddings are in your eye, with cameras parked among the prayer books and things. And, too, Paramount to whom she was, and is, under contract was acting a bit cantankerous about the marriage — like a disapproving parent. They didn’t want to give the girl a honeymoon. They didn’t want this ascending and potential star to marry at all. Carole said, “No honeymoon, no work.” She honeymooned.\nThe wedding started out to be private. It also started out to be rather comic. When the ring part of the ceremony arrived, for instance, Bill couldn’t locate the proper finger for the ring. (No one has ever heard this particular bit of bathos before, so you may consider yourselves in on the nuptials). After he tried a couple of thumbs and forefingers, Carole burst right out laughing. She laughed out loud at the very altar. She couldn’t help it. She thrust the legal digit in his face and said, between gasps, This finger, dear!”\nAs you know, Carole didn’t wear the bridal white. She wore a blue afternoon gown and Bill’s wedding gift — a perfect platter of a pin, composed of two star sapphires surrounded by diamonds. It would protect her from a machine gun in a front-line trench in any old war! The sapphires, by the way, are the color of Carole’s eyes. Maybe you didn’t think that didn’t occur to Bill!\nDuring the ceremony, jittery enough for Bill as it was, the Press began to ooze in through the doors and windows and floors, as the Press will,. And instantly began to telephone descriptions of the bride and groom to their various sheets before the minister had come to the “I pronounce you man and wife!” In fact, Carole admits now that she isn’t quite certain he ever did get to that point, what with her uncontrollable mirth and the assiduities of the Press. She hopes for the best.\nAmong the Press were some omnipresent photographers. One, a weary, harassed looking lad was especially insistent that they pose for him. They didn’t want to, and said so. The lad finally broke down all over the place and confessed that he had just come from Santa Monica, where he had photographed another bride and groom, believing them to be Carole and Bill. If that isn’t a laugh I never heard one. Here’s a youth who wouldn’t know Garbo if he stumbled across her taking a sun bath.\nAfter the excitement, the laughs and the surprise party of the Barthelmesses, Brooks, Torrences, et al, they were off to Honolulu. Carole was impressed with the people there. They were so kind, she says. She thinks the trouble with most of us is that we never take the time to be kind to people. Even when we have the time, we take it for other purposes. I have a hunch that life has been a little difficult with Carole so far as kindness goes. There is nothing soft and blahish about the beauty of Carole. She is no Pollyanna.\nWhen the Bill Powells came back, they found that Mother Peters (Carole was born Carol Jane Peters) had rented a house for them in Beverly Hills. And that they were all moved in, including the colored man who had served Bill so expertly and for so long. They love it. They’re as happy as two youngsters.\nCarole is finding out that she is domestically inclined — more so than she ever dreamed she would be. She’s glad that Bill persuaded her they should have a house, instead of an apartment. She loves to order meals, to count the laundry, to market, to arrange flowers, most of all to see their friends enjoying themselves in their home. And she is a swell cook, if she does say so, which she does. And Bill is “pathetic.” He hasn’t had a house of his own for so long that he can’t get over it. He goes about patting chairs and lamps and things and saying, “Now, this is a cute piece, don’t you think?”\nAs a husband of “many” months, Carole says, he is NOT suave, sophisticated, and polished. He is no Philo Vance except — except when it comes to detecting the things she wants, the things that will make her comfortable and happy, the little tendernesses and considerations precious to all her feminine hearts. In all such matters, his wife says, he would put Philo Vance, Sherlock Holmes and all of Scotland Yard to shame and confusion. He has second sight where she is concerned. With each week of married life this conjugal clairvoyance deepens and intensifies, rather than abates. He is so thoughtful and unselfish that Carole is “divinely happy. I didn’t know there could be such happiness as I am having now. I’ll never forget it, not one instant of it, so long as I live on this earth.” Mind you, this is the wife’s story, not the sweetheart’s.\nBill writes her little notes almost every day of their lives. Tender little notes. Humorous little notes. On her bridal bouquet, for instance, she found this little billet: “Dear Miss Lombard, will you kindly see that these reach the future Mrs. Powell and that she wears them?”\nShe says, this old, old, married woman, “I think he is the handsomest man in the world.” And Bill isn’t jealous. Not one bit. In fact, they kid about things like that. Bill says, “So-and-so kinda on the make for you today, eh, mama?” And Carole retorts in kind.\n“The whole explanation of our marriage and our happiness,” says Carole, “is that we understand one another. We took time to do it — eight months of going together, every available moment. And where there is understanding, there is no possibility of misunderstanding. How can there be? I can’t see the sense in these so-called modern marriage pacts, talking things over, planning what one will do in this or that emergency, making charts of emotions. After all, emotional matters cannot be charted. If there is perfect understanding between two people, what is there to plan about? Bill and I do, and intend to do, what we feel like doing, where and with whom. But — we both know what the other feels like doing, and why. That’s all there is to it.”\nCarole loves her young stepson (William Powell Jr.) and says, happily, that Bill is mad about him. She hopes, some day, to have children of her own. After two or three years more of work, she’ll be perfectly content to stop being Carole Lombard in order to be Mrs. William Powell and the mother of Bill’s children. She wants two, a boy and a girl.\nThis is the Bride’s story — and I believe she’ll stick to it."}

{"text": "I think that I’ve been bitten by the bug of a thought following Linda’s earlier prompt for SoCS.\nDoes the saying that ‘the early bird gets to eat the fattest worm’ ever bug you a bit? Well, it does bite me in the butt now and again. Sometimes I feel that I’m late for lifes’ party and that the early birds before me have harvested the best and the fattest worms, leaving slim pickings for those of us who made it late.\nWhen my thought pattern begins to go down this route of ‘woe is me and regretting time lost’ I painstakingly drag it back to the present firmly reminding myself of a couple of common Igbo adages that say, ‘when someone wakes up is their morning,’ and ‘the first house built on the street is not necessarily the finest.’\nReminding oneself that the land is still green and full of harvest and that the Earth is abundant for every one of us is not cold comfort or living in a fool’s paradise. It is true. However, it is based on your perspective.\nOur reality is what it is, but our reality is equally what we can make it ‘to be’ if we want it badly enough. Constantly comparing our circumstance to that of someone else who seems to be thriving better simply exposes us to the evil twins – envy and jealousy – and allowing these two to occupy free space in your heart never bodes well for anyone.\nI would say that as life keeps evolving, just wear your dancing shoes. Today’s early bird might become tomorrow’s hunters’ prey, so stop fretting about being late for lifes’ party and simply start your own party, there will always be enough guests to invite.\nJacqueline"}

{"text": "(published August 4, 2011)\nThere aren’t many individuals in football who’ve inspired unforgettable chants. Fewer still who did so while playing defense. And there’s only one who had a verb all to himself.\n“Kill, Bubba, Kill! Kill, Bubba, Kill!”\nAt Spartan Stadium in East Lansing, Michigan, that cry rang out throughout Charles Aaron “Bubba” Smith’s tenure on the defensive line. He was 6’ 7”, 285 pounds at a time when college linemen may have tipped the scales at about 230. He was quick, strong, all but unstoppable, and truly terrifying to opponents whose job was to get in his way.\nBubba Smith was found dead in his Baldwin Hills, California, home Wednesday, at age 66.\nSmith was the first selection overall in the 1967 NFL draft, played nine seasons, made two Pro Bowls, and was a stalwart with the Baltimore Colts teams that lost the 1969 Super Bowl, won it two years later, and allowed just 140 points in fourteen games in the 1971 season.\nHe played five years with Baltimore, two each with the Oakland Raiders and Houston Oilers, but he made his biggest mark in the green uniform of the Michigan State Spartans.\nHe grew up in Beaumont, Texas, playing high school football for his father, coaching legend Willie Ray Smith at Charlton-Pollard High School. Duffy Daugherty recruited him to come to Michigan State, where Daugherty was building a powerhouse featuring many southern African-Americans whose home-state universities were either still segregated or trying to remain so. Both of the captains of the Spartans’ 1966 squad were African-American, as were eight of the starters on defense and – unusual for the time – so was the quarterback. Michigan State won a share of the national title in 1965, and should have in 1966 as well.\nNo one had ever seen an athlete quite like Bubba Smith before. He had the size to dominate with power, but the speed to run sprints with the team’s ball-carriers. MSU’s track coach Fran Dittrich quipped, “I’d like to have Bubba on the track team, but he’s too big to run in one lane.”\nSmith generally played defensive end in college, but he also lined up at nose guard on occasion, occupying the center and often both offensive guards and freeing up his teammates to crash through the line. He was most effective on the outside, however, and he preferred sprinting past flat-footed linemen to knocking them onto their backs. He won all-Big Ten and all-America honors in both 1965 and ’66, and entered the College Football Hall of Fame in 1988.\nHe was one of the signature players in perhaps the biggest college football game of the century, the clash of unbeatens between Notre Dame and MSU in 1966. The two teams dominated their opponents as the schedule built to their meeting – the last game for Michigan State, next-to-last for the Irish. (Neither team played in a bowl game that year. Only one Big Ten team went to a bowl, the Rose Bowl, in those days; conference rules barred MSU, who’d gone the year before, from appearing in it two years in a row. As a matter of policy, Notre Dame didn’t sully itself by appearing in such tawdry spectacles as bowl games then, a policy abandoned three years later once the money got big enough.)\nNotre Dame tackle Bob Kuechenberg had the assignment to control Smith. “I kept hearing this ‘Kill, Bubba, kill,’” Kuechenberg told Mike Celizic for his 1992 book The Biggest Game of Them All. “And being an English major, I knew that wasn’t a complete sentence because it lacked an object. Kill whom? Since I was the guy who was going to be blocking him, it must be me.” (For his part, Bubba fronted the money for a teammate who printed up “Kill, Bubba, Kill!” buttons and made a small killing selling them on campus that week.)\nSmith put Irish quarterback Terry Hanratty out of the game with a crushing hit in the first quarter. This left the game in the hands of backup QB Coley O’Brien, a fact that may have contributed to ND coach Ara Parseghian’s decision to run out the clock rather than risk a pass in the final minute with the score 10-10. Notre Dame had the last laugh, as all the polls ranked the 9-0-1 Irish number one ahead of 9-0-1 Michigan State (and 11-0 Alabama).\nAfter his pro career, Smith joined the parade of ex-players appearing in commercials for Miller Lite in the late 1970s, playing off his ferocious reputation by describing his football habits (“I had my own way of tackling. I used to grab the whole backfield, then I threw guys out until I found the one with the ball”). He finished by ripping the top third off a can of Lite with his bare hand, smiling a gap-toothed grin, and saying, “I also love the easy-opening can.” He was in all but one of the Police Academy movies, portraying the very-soft-spoken Moses Hightower, a role that suited the largely genial giant.\nHe was very much a product of the pre-ESPN age, a player who became a legend based on written accounts and a chant-ready nickname. You knew who he was long before you saw him play. Would he have stood up to today’s microanalysis and scrutiny? Perhaps not; neither his size nor speed would be unique in the modern game.\nSo what? Bubba Smith was a star. He was the most fearsome player who ever made you smile."}

{"text": "EMMY WATCH\nJessica Lange on Lady Gaga, ‘Freak Show,’ and Saying Goodbye to ‘American Horror Story’\nAfter four years, Jessica Lange bids farewell to American Horror Story. She tells us why this last season was her favorite, and how she thinks Lady Gaga will do in her place.\nJessica Lange remembers when Ryan Murphy told her she’d be singing a David Bowie song in an episode of American Horror Story: Freak Show set in the 1950s.\n“At first I thought, ‘Oh no, we’re way off track,’” she laughs. “And then I thought, ‘This is brilliant.’”\nSuch is the typical progression of events—are you out of your damn mind gives way to ah, this is genius—when you work with Ryan Murphy, the bold, bonkers, and genre-bending mastermind behind FX’s hit American Horror Story franchise, in addition to past successes including Glee and Nip/Tuck. He’s changed the landscape of the medium by making scorched earth of its conventions and building his own anarchic TV funhouse on the land.\nIt’s a way of working that Lange has become particularly accustomed to, having finished her final of four seasons as the star of American Horror Story, winning two Emmys in the process and hoping to vie for her fourth for her performance on the most recent Freak Show incarnation.\nIt’s a tenure that’s seen her effortlessly navigate the delirious maze Murphy constructed for her, first as boozy steel magnolia Constance Langdon in Murder House, then as the terrifying Sister Jude in Asylum and the fabulous Supreme witch Fiona Goode in Coven, who doles out bitchy one-liners as expertly as her spells.\nLange calls her final American Horror Story, Freak Show, her favorite of them all. As Elsa Mars, she was the misunderstood matriarch and maestro of a sideshow that becomes entangled in a series of murders, uncovering damning secrets as the mysteries get unraveled.\nWith her time on American Horror Story at its twisted happily ever after and awards season firmly underway, Lange spoke to us about why her final season on the show was the highlight, why she’s stepping away from the franchise, and how the Freak Show season was even her idea.\n(In an article published this month, she also spoke to The Daily Beast about comparisons to Caitlyn Jenner.)\nPlus, she talks about passing the American Horror Story baton to Lady Gaga, who will star in the next installment, Hotel. Yes, she talks about the headlines that were made when she was first asked about it at a recent press conference. And yes, her answer is fabulous.\nNow that the show is finished airing, we’re in the midst of awards season, and the new season is about to go into production—how do you feel now that your four years is over and you’ve had some time to process it?\nIt was such a great experience. I loved it. I loved every season, some more than others, of course. I think my favorite was this last season..\nWill you miss it?\nI’ll miss it, but I think in some way I had never intended to do more than one season, and then reconsidered and decided to do three more. But, you know, I felt like I had come to the end of it. I’d love to work with Ryan again sometime on a different project. I loved the characters that I played. Especially, like I said, this last season. It was an extraordinary experience.\nWhat made this last one your favorite?\nI think a combination of things. First of all, the character, because this character was enormous. I got to do so much with her. With going back into her history, I was very fascinated with this ’20s and ’30s Germany, between the two World Wars, that period of time that Cabaret takes place. It’s a fascinating time historically. And I loved that my character emerged from that, the whole sordid history that she kept secret. It was just a lot to play, and to be able to do those musical numbers.\nI mean, on top of everything, you sang.\nTo sing David Bowie and Lana Del Rey. Like, wow, it just keeps getting crazier and crazier. The accent. It was just a huge trajectory, this character. But my favorite of all was this idea that we really were like a troupe. I think everybody felt that. It had a very carnival atmosphere all the time, and it felt like we were an ensemble, that we were a troupe of misfits. There was something just great about that. And meeting these people like Rose [Siggins, “Legless Suzi”] and Mat [Fraser, “Paul the Illustrated Seal”] and Erika [Ervin, “Amazon Eve”] and being able to get to know them over time and work with them. It was an extraordinary experience. I just found it—I don’t know—magical, in a way.\nIs it true that you actually brought the idea of doing a Freak Show season to Ryan?\nYes. Well, I had always been fascinated with circuses and sideshows, traveling carnivals. All of that. I thought it would be great to explore the traveling sideshow in the ’30s. My idea was every episode would take place in a different small town, but of course that became impossible. I mean, when it was at its height during the Depression, this was the form of entertainment for rural America. Then Ryan, I think in his very brilliant way, decided to run it up against the beginning of TV. It was the end of one freak show, the beginning of another freak show. (Laughs)\nIt’s very poetic.\nWe moved it up from when I had proposed and I think it worked much better. You had these two worlds kind of colliding, the end of a popular entertainment and the beginning of another. Any time you see something at the final note, the end moment, there’s something inherently tragic about it already. I did a lot of research, and knowing that these people who were referred to as freaks and were exhibited at freak shows, when they came to an end they weren’t necessarily better off. There was the whole moral thing of exhibiting freaks for public entertainment. But when that ended, a lot of these people were institutionalized. And within the carnival community, obviously there are many viewpoints on this. But they had communities, they had income, and some of the early ones I started reading about, they were world famous. So there are two sides to the coin, obviously. By putting it at the tail end of this era, there was so much poetry in the way the steps were done and the costumes, it was just all in a state of decay.\nA lot of the things that you’re talking about are highly relevant today, with reality TV and the way we treat those stars?\nI think that was Ryan’s point. That the freak show became television, kind of.\nIt might not be as explicit as it was then when we actually labeled these people the “freak show.” Now we’re dressing it up under the name “reality TV” as if it’s more humane and classy, when it may not be at all.\nI am not a fan of reality TV. To me, it is just like another form of exhibition. Yeah. Enough said about that.\nDo you think that Elsa was a villain? Or the bad guy this season?\nYou know, the one thing that we should be very clear about is that she did have a deep and abiding love for these people, and that was her redemption, really. She, obviously, was amoral. But again, coming up from where she came and the idea of survival and how she learned to survive, you have to take that somewhat into consideration. So I didn’t see her as a pure villainess. She did care so deeply for these people and really did take care of them—in her own way, limited emotionally that it might be. But, yes, I never wanted her to do harm to them. That was the thing that I argued for throughout the course of the season. That is the one thing that redeems her. She deeply cares for them and their wellbeing.\nSo then how did you feel about her final scene with Ethel, where she kills her?\nThat’s where it crossed. There was that whole thing of Ethel threatening to do them all in, and that was the trigger, where she decides to kill Ethel. She’s not an honest woman. It’s not a question of truthfulness or anything like that. But it was, in some way, again her way of protecting the other ones. So I’m not saying that was an altruistic thing. It was her own survival, too. But, yes, she was capable of murder.\nDid Elsa do anything this season that really shocked you? That you were truly surprised when you got the script that she would commit that act?\nThat was probably the biggest. We went around with that scene—Kathy and I and the writers—and talked about it over and over and over again to get it to the right tipping point. That would’ve been to me the most egregious. I had to find a way to do that. I think she truly loved Ethel. She said, “You were like my sister,” and she actually meant it. But it comes down to her survival, and the survival of her troupe. Her little group there.\nYou mentioned the musical numbers earlier. What is it like to shoot those? I can only imagine how strange and fun and scary…\nAll of that. It was all of that. It’s amazing, because when he said she was a cabaret singer I assumed we’d be doing period songs. Then he gave me the first number to learn, which was “Life on Mars.” At first I thought, “Oh, no, we’re way off track.” And then I thought, “This is brilliant.” It was great to learn. I studied David Bowie’s music videos, who I have to say is an absolute genius. To learn the songs, I’m not a born singer, but it’s great because it kept pushing me.\nLearning the songs is one thing. But you had to then perform these elaborate production numbers.\nYes, then there’s the fact that I had to do it as a performance, which was really wonderful to step out on stage as a performer. I’d never done that before. It was just a great way to make myself do something that I’d never imagined doing. So again I’m grateful to Ryan for giving me that opportunity. Because when would I ever perform on stage doing these musical numbers? And I loved them. I loved the two David Bowie songs I did. And Lana Del Rey—they’re great pieces. It was really challenging. And when I went into the recording studio, I was absolutely terrified. But it was so much fun to do. Kind of liberating in a way.."}

{"text": "In this week's point/counterpoint, writers answer the question: Are U.S. oil and gas producers really doing enough to protect the environment?”\nThe oil and gas industry is trying to convince us it is serious about a warming planet. It promises to expand its efforts to reduce or eliminate carbon emissions that are the principal cause of climate change.\nThis would be terrific news if the industry were indeed committed to such efforts. But there are reasons to doubt that it is.\nFor years the same industry denied the reality of climate change, sought to diminish public concern over it and lobbied to block or slow government action on it.\nSince the Trump administration took office, oil and gas interests have pressed to weaken EPA, DOE and Interior Department regulations that affect the industry.\nThese include vehicle fuel economy standards that would help to clean the air in our cities while also reducing carbon emissions, as well as the Obama administration's Clean Power Plan that would have put the nation on a path to cleaner ways of producing electricity.\nThe industry has urged the Interior Department to open even more federal lands and offshore areas for oil and natural gas exploration and drilling.\nMuch of the industry has backed Trump administration and congressional efforts to curtail research on climate change science, scrub government websites of climate change data and reports, and reduce modest subsidies for renewable energy while increasing them for fossil fuels.\nAll of these actions by the industry and its supporters have taken place even as public concern about climate change has soared and the scientific community has produced ever more definitive reports about climate change and its impacts. This includes the recently released National Climate Assessment that pointed to the burning of fossil fuels as the primary driver of climate change.\nBut suppose that we take the industry at its word. What might it do now and in the near term to alter course?\nIt could invest heavily in renewable energy technologies and seek to improve them. More than half of electricity generation capacity added to the U.S. grid in 2016 came from renewables. Globally, two-thirds of generating capacity came from renewable sources.\nThat electricity could be powering our future vehicles. Transportation accounts for a quarter of U.S. greenhouse gas emissions.\nWithin the past year, nearly every major vehicle manufacturer, including Tesla, GM, Ford, Mercedes-Benz and Volvo, has announced new and expanded production of electrics or hybrids that will be more affordable and practical.\nThe fossil fuel industry also could foster breakthroughs in battery technology that will be essential to store energy generated by wind and solar power and to enhance driving distance between charges for electric vehicles.\nThe industry could fund additional research on cost-effective ways to capture and store carbon emissions from power plants. Success there could be monumentally important.\nIt also could help to educate the public and its elected officials about the economic, public health, environmental, and national security risks of climate change and get behind efforts to deal with it.\nThe Trump administration, aided by its supporters in the oil and gas industry, continues to argue that taking action on climate change will hurt the economy and cost jobs. It is wrong. With rapidly falling prices for sustainable energy sources, decarbonization creates jobs and helps the economy.\nGiven this reality, perhaps the oil and gas industry could shift public debate and return the nation to a position of leadership on climate change. For example, it could persuade the Trump administration to get behind the Paris Agreement.\nThe president's decision to withdraw from that agreement seriously hurt our standing with allies and harmed national security, the economy, and the environment.\nThe oil and gas industry could help to reverse that decision. If it were successful, that could go a long way to rebuilding the public respect that it has squandered in recent years.\nMichael Kraft is professor emeritus of political science and public and environmental affairs at the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay."}

{"text": "Ten ways to build Pride at small businesses\n(As originally published in the Globe and Mail, 5 July 2012)\nBy Colleen McMorrow, Leader, Entrepreneurial Services and Uros Karadzic, GTA Leader of Beyond, EY\nWith lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and allies (LGBTA) Pride events getting underway, it’s common to see larger companies join the celebrations. But small or medium-sized business can be part of these events and — more importantly — even the smallest businesses can build an LGBTA-inclusive culture that thrives throughout the calendar year and helps companies recruit, develop and retain top talent. Focusing on these 10 building blocks can help build an inclusive culture:\n- Embedding diversity into your culture begins with you.\nOwners and managers can ensure a company includes individuals with different backgrounds, experiences, educations and orientations by creating open workplaces where top talent will want to work. Tackle challenges that may dissuade people from applying. Think deliberately about the channels you’re using to recruit. Your human resources function can help. Even if it’s limited to a single person, diversity must be at the forefront of their goals.\|\n- Diversity is the mix that exists in your company — but inclusion is how you leverage it.\nIt’s not enough to “be” diverse. You’ve got to motivate people to represent inclusiveness in all that they do. Help already-inclusive employees set the tone by acknowledging and rewarding the positive ways they’re contributing to the culture. And be open about the fact that the company refuses to tolerate intolerance. Research shows bringing together vastly different people generates more creative solutions — which means diversity isn’t a nice-to-have, it’s a business imperative.\n- Helping people connect within the organization affects how you perform as an organization.\nEY has employee resource groups specifically for lesbian and gay individuals and their allies, which sends the message that people can bring their whole selves to work. A smaller company can adapt this by asking interested employees to meet with management regularly to discuss issues. Employees who are valued for who they are contribute more to the business and demonstrate higher levels of engagement.\n- Getting the tone right at the top goes a long way.\nSmaller organizations with less formal internal communications can still talk about these issues. Show executive sponsorship by weaving the issue into your quarterly meeting. Informally discuss diversity in team chats. Use the company blog to reinforce that your door is always open. Sometimes, simply using the words “gay” and “lesbian” in internal communications can send an inclusive message. The important thing is that you talk about it, and lead by example. Value people and perspectives different from your own, and others will follow suit.\n- Break down the barriers, one at a time.\nWhether your company has 20, 200 or 2,000 employees, finding out what’s blocking your workplace from becoming more LGBTA inclusive is critical. Ask everyone — gay, lesbian, straight — what’s working and what’s not, and encourage them to share. Their responses are an ideal platform for new solutions.\n- Measurement makes it happen.\nWe build diversity metrics into evaluations to ensure everyone is working toward improving the firm’s overall inclusiveness efforts. That’s translatable to a smaller organization, too. It could mean adding an annual performance review question about how employees have worked to make the office more inclusive, or asking people to include one inclusiveness goal in their roadmap for the year. What gets measured gets done.\n- Putting some skin in the game counts.\nUnlike mentors, who offer career coaching and advice, sponsors are hands-on advocates who fight for and create advancement opportunities for high-potential individuals. They put some skin in the game. Leaders can help people build networks, skill sets, experiences and more. This can be particularly important for a gay or lesbian individual who already feels they’re from a minority or under-represented group, but has the talent and drive to propel their career forward.\n- Look outside for inspiration.\nGood ideas come from all around us. Tap into your fellow business owners and ask how they are building LGBTA inclusiveness into their culture. Gleaning best practices from others can be a good way to flesh out your plans, and try approaches that are working well for similarly sized businesses.\n- Consider joining forces.\nBuilding alliances with other organizations of similar size, with shared LGBTA inclusiveness goals, can broaden your focus. Maybe there’s room to come together with a few other businesses and create a small steering committee with a representative from each group. If you feel you really need a critical mass to make a difference, then team up with like-minded business owners to build it together.\n- Taking your message to the street isn’t Beyond your reach.\nWho says parades, Pride workplace events, or other celebrations are only for large companies? Scale your own business’ participation in these events to a level that’s attainable, affordable and actionable. A booth at a Pride street festival, a single person representing the company at a larger networking event or a small sponsorship in the right place can all send the message to your people and your clients that this is a place where differences are celebrated."}

{"text": "By Debra GoldschmidtCNN Medical Unit\nCHICAGO (CNN) -- Robotic heart surgery using the da Vinci Surgical System has many advantages for patients and doctors, according to research presented to cardiologists at the annual Scientific Sessions of the American Heart Association on Tuesday.\nSurgeons from New York Presbyterian Hospital presented the outcomes of 17 patients after having a heart defect -- called atrial septal defect -- repaired using the robot for assistance.\nOf the 17 patients, 16 of them had their hearts repaired in a totally robotic operation. One patient required additional repair five days after the first surgery. The average length of stay in the hospital after the surgery was three days compared with seven to 10 days for traditional surgery. None of the patients experienced major complications.\nThe robotic technique requires four puncture wounds, each an inch in diameter. Surgeons use pencil-sized instruments to operate on the heart. They sit several feet away from the patient at a console where they see inside the patient on a monitor.\nLead researcher, Dr. Michael Argenziano said the success rate \"proved we can do this surgery in a closed chest approach.\" The alternative is the traditional technique of cracking the chest -- done by a long incision, cutting the bone, and then splitting the ribs.\n\"The main advantage is that these patients were able to recover quickly.\" he said.\nPatients recovering from the traditional approach usually have several inactive weeks before they're able to resume regular activity, but patients who undergo robotic surgery only spend a couple of days recovering from local wounds. Argenziano was amazed when one of his patients was able to pick up her toddler the day after her surgery.\nCompared with other minimally invasive heart surgery approaches, robotic assistance allows surgeons to have better control over the surgical instruments and a better view of what they are doing.\nHowever, there are disadvantages -- time being one of them. Robotic-assisted surgery takes nearly double the amount of time that a typical open-heart surgery takes. That means a patient is under anesthesia longer and nurses and other staff must also work longer hours.\nThe cost seems to be a disadvantage as well. In the short term, hospitals pay millions of dollars for the robot and the disposable instruments needed.\nBut Argenziano argues that although the robotic-assisted surgeries cost about $2,000 more per operation, in the end the cost comes out about even because patients are out of the hospital sooner.\nMoney is saved after surgery on nursing care and pain medications, he said, in addition to the societal benefits from faster recovery.\nThe procedure is still experimental under a U.S. Food and Drug Administration clinical trial; therefore, the robot's manufacturer picks up any costs that exceed the normal cost of heart surgery.\nSeven other patients have undergone the procedure at other centers as part of the trial.\nArgenziano said they've had no trouble finding patients willing to try the experimental surgery because of the faster recovery time. He added that the surgeons can have the patient's chest open in one minute's time should they suddenly need to convert to traditional surgery -- something they haven't had to do.\nIn another trial, Argenziano and other surgeons are using the robot to perform closed-chest coronary bypass surgery.\nLast week the FDA gave approval for the robot to be used for mitral valve repair surgery. This is the first robotic heart surgery to be granted clearance by the FDA.\nThe da Vinci Surgical System is made by California-based Intuitive Surgical Systems. There are 132 systems in hospitals worldwide and nearly 100 are in U.S. hospitals."}

{"text": "I ran out of time for blogging last night as we had a busy day what with one thing and other. It was certainly an entertaining day.\nWe had decided that it was time to move the bulk of the girls onto fresh grass that had been rested for a few months. We have left Oonagh and a few companions behind the house until she gives birth - which hopefully wont be long.\nAs I mentioned on Friday my brother and his family are staying this weekend so made use of the extra help with the move. Colin was on guard to make sure that the first batch of girls moved stayed away from the boys fence line until we got them all together and the three young girls joined the 'big girls'. After they were all in one of the runs we have between fields we were going to move them at a group into the correct field.\nThis is when the mayhem occurred. I was busy locking the main gate and shutting the little girls gate when I herd my brother yelling to Paul who was at the front of the herd. I figured something was not right so ran up the channel to hear him shouting that there was an extra black one; Loki had jumped the fence!\nOut of all the boys to get excited and jump a fence, Loki would be the last you'd put your money on. My brother doesn't see them often so was trying to keep his eye on Loki but once he mixed in with the other blacks he didn't have a clue.\nI hoped he would fine Angelus who I knew would sit for him so I could grab hold, but typically he tried sniffing a number of other girls first and got well and truly sent on his way. Eventually he came across Angleus who was too interested in lush green grass to sit; normally she will sit for anyone and everyone (she's a bit of a floozy).\nOnce he found his mum they were exchanging a few words and sniffing each other all over I managed to grab him. I then nearly killed my brother as he had to run all the way back to the entrance to pick up a halter I knew I'd left there from Urusla earlier in the day.\nWith Loki returned to his rightful field and the girls on their new grass piece and tranquility soon returned. Heads were down munching in minutes - hopefully they wont eat the grass too quickly as there wont be much more growing time up her.\nToday we have been to the Dyke Neuk show with animals and our knitwear. Hughie and Loki were meeting their public and as usual at these sort of events drew in the crowds. There were a few children that remembered them from last year and even remembered Hughie's name - well done girls!\nI sold a few bits and pieces, including the gloves I knitted to match that new stripy hat so they wont make it into the shop. I've have to knit another pair as they were very nice.\nAnyway it's been a long day and I'm tired so off for some ZZZZZ's.\nSnow fair!\n13 hours ago\n1 comment:\nHi Debbie,\nSounds like you have had an interesting weekend !!...at the show and moving the girls, How could any one forget Hughie !!...he's extra, extra special !!...hope Oonagh has her baby soon....Jayne"}

{"text": "Olympus SH-2 16 MP Digital Camera\nBest Travel Zoom Camera\nExpert Review\nThe Olympus SH-2 is not that far-removed from its predecessor, the SH-1. This camera uses the same 1/2.3-inch 16-megapixel BSI CMOS sensor and 24x zoom lens, but Olympus has placed additional focus on improving low-light performance this time around. Although a zoom lens is not typically ideal for low-light shooting, Olympus has included their five-axis image stabilization for both photos and videos; they have also gathered all of the camera’s low-light shooting modes for both images and videos and put them into a single Nightscape mode. This results in a camera that performs well in low-light conditions, especially for a camera with a long zoom.\nThe SH-2 allows for both JPEG and Raw capture; HD video capture is good as well, with solid stabilization and quick focusing. Burst shooting up to 10.4 fps is included, but is JPEG-only. The touchscreen LCD is simple to use, and the camera’s interface is overall user-friendly. WiFi is included, as is the case with the majority of the newer cameras available today. The camera is quick to start and shoot, especially for a long zoom camera, continuing the trend of snappy performance overall. Although the Olympus SH-2 might not have the longest zoom available, it is one of the few that places such a priority on maintaining performance in low-light conditions."}
{"text": "Phil Mickelson has urged the US captain, Jim Furyk, to resurrect his disastrous partnership with Tiger Woods in the 42nd Ryder Cup in France this week.\nHal Sutton was dubbed “Captain Calamity” after he paired Mickelson and Woods for the 2004 contest at Oakland Hills in Detroit.\nThey lost both their matches on the opening day as Europe went on to record a thumping 18½-9½ victory.\nIt seems unlikely that Furyk is even contemplating giving two of the game’s biggest names a second chance, with Woods more likely to play with debutant Bryson DeChambeau.\nHowever, Mickelson insisted both he and Woods are ready to join forces again as the US bid to secure a first victory on European soil since 1993.\n“I think we would both welcome it,” said the 48-year-old who was a wildcard pick along with Woods. “I think we would both welcome it,” he added, repeating himself as if to emphasise the point.\nMickelson and Woods were in the same group for the first official practice day along with DeChambeau and Patrick Reed.\n“I do have an idea of what captain Furyk is thinking, yeah,” said Mickelson, laughing, when asked if he knew how the pairings might unfold on Friday."}

{"text": "Working.\nLess-than-perfect experiences like that can be common when managing far-flung employees. But, as more companies expand their efforts away from headquarters, the need for managers to understand how to oversee remote employees is becoming more critical. Increasingly, managers of distant employees need to get up to speed on their own.\nOne way to avoid some of the common communication blunders among far-flung teams is to hire people who are ready to work in a virtual environment from day one. James Eicher, senior manager of organization effectiveness at NetApp Inc. and author of \"Making the Message Clear,\" says screening potential hires on the ability to work independently and collaboratively -- or requiring experience with virtual teamwork -- goes a long way.\nOf course, not all managers have the luxury of hiring their team from the start. In that case, it is best to pack a bag and meet team members on their turfs, says John Challenger, a Chicago workplace expert. Meet individually or hold town halls with large groups. These meetings are also a good way to set the tone for open and frequent communication with remote employees, says Mr. Challenger. \"It's about relationships and understanding nuances and building trust,\" he says.\nWorking with distant employees makes that process harder, because you can't see the subtleties of how people react and it's harder to create a bond with people you can't grab a cup of coffee with.\nCommunicate each person's role and business objectives regularly, and establish agreed-upon ways to resolve conflicts and solve problems early on, says Mr. Eicher. Find out how technically savvy your remote employees are -- and get them trained in technologies you plan to use to keep in touch, he says. Remote employees should be comfortable with voice over Internet protocol, or VOIP; video streaming; and instant messaging.\nAnd be prepared for the difficulties that will arise. Just because you're sitting at a desk after a good night's sleep doesn't mean everyone else is having that same experience, especially when a call crosses numerous time zones. \"You have to put yourself in the shoes of the people you're working with,\" Mr. Bush says. \"There is one of me and 10 of them.\"\nAlso, without physically seeing people, it can be difficult to gauge their ages, levels of experience, English proficiency and seniority. Try to find out as much as you can in advance of calls, says Mr. Bush. One easy way: check for personal Web sites, profiles on Facebook, LinkedIn or other social-networking sites, or a bio on the company intranet, says Mr. Challenger.\nAs much as possible, use simple, clear language. For Mr. Bush, one of the most common blunders is overuse of sports analogies and metaphors, which often don't translate well. Many employees might not understand the point you are trying to make. \"Make sure your message gets across,\" he says, even if you are trying to keep the conversation light.\nManagers should also work to develop confidants whose judgment they trust in each of the countries or offices they oversee. These people \"can provide a rich understanding of the business issues while folding in the cultural aspects,\" says Mr. Bush.\nWhen hiring team members for distant locales, one sure-fire way to be certain employees will be manageable from afar is to weigh how well a candidate can succeed independently, says Steve Eddington, senior vice president of operations for Camden Property Trust, a real-estate firm in Houston. He looks for strong people who don't need direct day-to-day management and who are also strong communicators.\nMr. Eddington, who oversees Camden's six regional operating centers and 11 district offices, also opts for regular in-person meetings even with staffers he's worked with for years, bringing everyone to one centralized location.\nMr. Eicher advises the same, especially for initial meetings with a new team or when introducing a new employee. \"Having that first face-to-face meeting of the team -- building relationships, reviewing roles and performance objectives -- better enables far-flung employees to work effectively,\" he says. And, he adds, that first meeting can help subvert the hesitation people have connecting with and asking for things from people they don't know very well.\nFinally, when it comes time to deliver performance reviews or critical feedback, try to do so in person, say experts. Avoid criticizing during a conference call or when other team members are listening.\nOn the flip side, successes should be announced loudly. Celebrate with congratulatory calls, emails or an intranet posting. For a particularly big success, Mr. Bush says he makes a personal visit. \"It's important to ... help the teams understand how their achievements relate to the wider global mission,\" he says.\nWrite to Elizabeth Garone at cjeditor@dowjones.com"}

We see Kayleen and Doug on their first meeting, waiting to see the nurse of their American Catholic grade-school: she has stomach trouble, he a badly grazed face after riding his bicycle off the school roof while pretending to be Evel Knievel. (It sets the era as well.) The several subsequent scenes jump back and forth through their lives, but the keynotes of the two characters remain constant.\nDoug is basically too dumb not to keep doing dumb stuff that injures him (he disproves the old cliché: even after he loses an eye to a firework, it’s still fun and games to him), while Kayleen’s mutilations are (give or take a phase with a razor-blade) mental: depression, anorexia, generally abyssal self-esteem. The two are never a couple, never in love, but seem to be soul mates of a kind; they are bound together by a sense of mutual refuge, returning again and again even after years apart at a time.\nMariah Gale and Felix Scott work well together, even in the onstage costume changes that occupy at least 10 of the 80 minutes of Justin Audibert’s production: they undress and re-dress while preserving the mood that ended the previous scene and modulating through to that which begins the next. Performing in the irregular white envelope that slashes diagonally across the Gate’s small space in Lily Arnold’s design, Gale and Scott give a sympathetic portrayal of a couple of misfits who are never particularly ground down by the world at large, nor take up arms against it. We assume that all they really have in their lives is each other because that is all we are shown. (Scott even genuinely fractured his hand at the performance I saw – that’s real commitment.)\nAnd that is more or less as far as it goes. Joseph is not interested in broadening his picture, which is fine, but nor does he deepen it. Scenes have a tendency to end on unsubtly thumping lines, and the final scene thumps pat-a-pat, as if the writer feels he should take this idea somewhere but cannot manage it. This is Joseph’s first British exposure, and so far it promises neither triumph nor disaster. Watch this space.\nCopyright The Financial Times Limited 2014.

{"text": "Get the latest Flash player\nView All Videos In This Series\nTranscripts\nDr. Neil King: Hi! I am Dr. Neil King, Founder of King Chiropractic. What we are doing today is, we are going over some exercises that you can do and how to develop ultimate golf conditioning. This is taken from my second book on golf actually called, Ten Weeks to Ultimate Golf Conditioning with my coauthor Michael Romatowski. In that book we talk so much about posture. Our studies have shown that fully 60% of golf success is based upon having the correct posture. What does that mean? That means that you need to be symmetrical; your shoulders need to be symmetrical; you need to have good stability through the abdomen, through the hips, the buttocks and also into the lower extremities. When you think about great golfers, you think about good posture. Even in older athletes you will notice that these people are very symmetrical and as a result very strong and also they can practice and play effectively day after day and that s what we want for you. This first group of exercises that I am going to go over with you are designed to elevate your upper torso and pull your shoulders back. Many people when they address the ball, they are too rounded forward. You can't develop power in your swing if you are rounded forward. We want you to be able to have relaxed shoulders held back in a nice smooth dynamic swing that s based upon what we call relaxing on your ligaments. Now, you can see we are not using a golf-club for this exercise because frankly so many golf exercises don t require a golf-club; that s what you go to the driving range for. The first exercise I am going to do is called a cross crawl. It is the absolute gold standard for developing symmetry and stationary position in here s how you do it. You just lift your opposite arm and opposite leg; what I ll like you do is, is try this with me now. If you can do this exercise effectively for people who have difficulties with their knees or their hips, they can simply start just putting their hands up, one at a time and then working on a marching motion; but I am telling you, this is where you need to go opposite arm, opposite leg -- very important opposite arm, opposite leg and then this is what it looks like from the side. What I d like you to work up to is about 30 times on each side once a day, that stabilizes you from side-to-side and also front to back. The next exercise I am going to give you is a pigeon-toed wall clock we call it. You are going to stand with your feet, pigeon-toed together like this. I want you to hold your abdominals in by engaging you belly button; your thumbs are pointing behind you; you are here, you will hold that for about 30 seconds. You are going to drop down to here for 30 seconds; you are going to drop down to here. When you get to the bottom point, I want you to pull your shoulders in for that last 30 seconds.\nJust a quick review; arms up over head to the back, 30 seconds, 30 seconds pull those shoulder blades back; 30 seconds just like that and I d like you to workup to where you can do about 10 of those. So, we ve worked on stabilizing side-to-side and pulling the shoulders back. One, last exercise for this segment, very important particularly if you spend a lot of your day to computer, like a lot of people do, I want you to put both of your arms straight up over head, nice and relaxed, you are going to elevate, one, two, three; one, two, three. Do that about five times on each side. That s designed to pull your shoulders back and stabilize you. That wraps up this segment; the next segment what we are going to do is, we are going to be working with you, on working on shoulder turn and keeping your neck and upper back relaxed.)"}

But my absence from aJonester.com has bugged me for quite some time, to the point that my mindless internet browsing was viewed from my third person POV as a bigger waste of time than usual.\nI guess what I am trying to say is I will try better to get these Prompts back on track, though Senior year of college came with such a workload change that I may have to try to get my homework done (reason why my essay reading was frantic instead of nap inducing).\nOne reason the guilt of not writing these Prompts, that may or may not inspire at least a new Word doc to be created, was so overwhelming today was Apple’s announcement of the revamped iTunes U, free iBooks Author OS X app (for people to create eBooks/eTextbooks!), and iBooks 2 e-textbook platform with support from 90% of publishers, offering interactive Textbooks for around $14.99 or less (compared to $80 dead tree textbooks)!\nThat long, confusing poor excuse for a paragraph has reignited my desire to get a Prompt book created so I can pay for my never-ending college classes descending upon my bank account without the help of the Government. This announcement also holds promise for people like my almost high school graduated brother who could be released from the $500 book bill each semester (it is too late for me). I will most likely expand on this information at a later time, though right now, I just want to get to the Prompt.\nTo end this unorganized and rambled preamble before the internet gets tired of reading, here is the first Prompt of 2012!\nPROMPT – Write a conversation, two characters (Fantasy or SciFi setting), where information is needed from a book and that information is stored in a singular device instead of the stock Wizarding library of never-ending books/bookshelves.\nNote – Since the hunt of said information is no longer the lynch pin of the scene, force a new focus for the characters to discuss. What happens to our worlds (Fantasy/SciFi) when unlimited information becomes common day and the journey for this information no longer occupies the middle part of the story?\nHope this Sunday Prompt has something of value to jumble up the creative juices.\nHave a wonderful Sunday!\nSir Drewster III\nNo trackbacks yet."}

{"text": "I'm really falling behind my stack of papers. Fortunately, life is good and busy, and there are always new, catchy songs to listen to:\nThe Temper Trap: Fader\nThat song really puts a spring in my step. Rather like a strong cup of coffee. Full disclosure - more of a tea person, but I've been known to drink a cup of joe every now and again. Maybe I ought to drink a bit more… the evidence is mixed, frankly. And certainly I can't tell you how many times I've had patients complain of insomnia, only to find out they are drinking 6 large iced coffees a day, or 12 Mountain Dews (no matter how much I exercise, I don't seem to be able to take this weight off, doctor…).\nBut what does the research say about, say, depression and coffee? A brand spanking new piece of epidemiology from the Nurses' Health Study was published in the Archives of Internal Medicine this month - Coffee, Caffeine, and Risk of Depression Among Women.\nSome facts from the article - 80% of the caffeine in the world is consumed as coffee. Interesting. Prospective studies of men and caffeine use showed a strong inverse association between coffee drinking and depression, with no association for tea or cola. Three cohort studies showed an inverse relationship between coffee consumption and suicide (though in a Finish study, there was a J-shaped curve with both very high (>7 cups of coffee daily) and low consumption of coffee seemingly less protective than moderate amounts.)\nSo, in the Nurses' Health Study (following 121,700 American female nurses starting in 1976), whole group was about 1&1/2 cups of coffee a day.\nAmong the 51,000 women, about 2600 developed clinical depression in the 10 year period. There was a dose dependent, inverse relationship between the amount of coffee consumed and the risk of developing depression over the years. When covariates (such as age, health, smoking, divorces, etc. etc.) were all adjusted for, the inverse relationship became even stronger! No associations were found between tea consumption, chocolate consumption, decaf coffee, or soda consumption and depression.\nSo what's up? Is coffee an antidepressant?\nI Know What I Am: Band of Skulls\nWell, maybe. This is no randomized controlled trial, so causation cannot be determined, but caffeine (1,3,7-trimethylxanthine) antagonizes the adenosine A2A receptor. This is thought to have pro-dopamine effects. By taking out adenosine, we :)\nSpeaking personally, I find caffeine to be important for my mental state and I dose myself as I do any of my supplements, I treat it as a drug. I weigh ~115-120lbs and I try to keep an intake circa 300-400mgs daily. I do best with caffeine intake mid day (the largest bolus) and this is when I crave it. I cut myself off several hrs before bed, or I may only have a small cup of soda or something trivial like that (note, my tolerance is so high, a cup of soda to me is like a normal person drinking a cup of tea).\nOne time a vendor accidentally gave me decaf; I had no access to caffeine for nearly 24 hrs. Toward the end of the night I literally could not think, as if I was given a first dose of antipsychotic medication. I had to stop and get caffeine when I nearly passed out (probably low sugar was complicating things - I imagine my sugar was so low preicsely because of caffeine w/d).\nThis instantly reversed itself upon drinking caffeine.\nWhen I had surgery and was fasting, in spite of being drugged up and barely awake one of my first requests was caffeine, lol. I still remember that. Forget pain meds, fix me a cup of coffee stat.\nIn the past when going through depression, coffee is the only thing I can really motivate myself to think about or want, its the only thing that can slightly make me feel a little better. Literally my whole life revolves around coffee, getting the energy to get it or make it. I am rather certain my depression would be considerably worse if I did not use stimulants in the form of coffee, as most of my depressive symptoms are the opposite of what it does. And I am thankful that anything stronger than coffee is regulated and illegal.\nI think the link between depression and caffeine intake is mostly correlational;\nIt's known that animals (and humans) with higher dopamine sensitivity will more compulsively administer stimulants, such as cocaine as well as presumably caffeine. Food restricted animals, as well as humans, and patients status post bypass surgery, are all known to develop dopamine dependent issues (compulsive gambling, sex addiction, drug addiction) and this is precisely because their brain is hypersensitive to dopamine after starving.\nIt stands to reason, then, that a person with uber dopamine sensitivity in the brain is less likely to get depressed, and also more likely\nto be like RAAAR CAWFEEE!!!\nAgain speaking personally when I was a big fattie eating lots of carbz and very depressed, I had zero response to caffeine. It did absolutely nothing for me, and I suspect that is because back then my dopamine sensitivity was horrible secondary to high glucose intake and obesity which is known to cause functional dopamine receptor downregulation (rapidly reversed upon glucose restriction, and I do think this is part of the reason I find a low carb diet so absolutely essential for controlling my depression as most of my depression seems rather dopaminergic).\nI am on my 23rd day coffee-free. I did this because I have read that coffee can cause a cross reaction with gluten:\nwhat do you think about it? Does it make sense to avoid gluten and not coffee? What about coffee's impact on hormonal balance (estrogen vs progesterone)? Doesn't it suppress testosterone and therefore cause sub-clinical depression?\nCould it be how coffee is consumed? It is a highly social drink. Perhaps those who consume coffee, cigarettes, alcohol, etc, are protected from depression to a degree by the social support structures that go with their coffee fix?\ni don't leave the house with fewer than 3 cups. strong coffee too. not that weak diner shit. this is Portland for cryin out loud. i usually have 4 or 5 more at work, but never after 2. i sleep like a stone. since going paleo and confirming my celiac haven't had a day of gerd either. dropping gluten seems to have fixed most of my mental dysfunction and short tempered depression type stuff.\nthey drink shit loads in sweden and i hear tell they are the happiest people on earth.\nI'm sticking with green tea:\nI do very badly on coffee when I'm stressed out, but I like it when I am relaxed and have nothing to worry about. Go figure.\nThis is very interesting since I was thinking only just now about this, in the context of my daily battle with myself as to whether to have any caffeine in the morning.\nIn my experience I certainly feel a lot better over the medium term when I completely abstain from caffeine. Even very small amounts make a substantial difference and I tend to limit myself to about 25mg per day as a kind of background dose. I seem to be very caffeine sensitive, both in the sense of experiencing negative effects very quickly but also noticing and feeling the effects of reduced amounts very sensitively. Withdrawal for me is absolutely hellish, hence why I tend to consume around 25mg daily, rather than cut straight to zero. Hence why I fine-tune my doses so specifically. I tend to feel worse in proportion to how much caffeine I consume, (higher amounts make me feel sick, jittery, washed out and I get ill- like clockwork- if I have to take larger amounts of caffeine to get some work done) obviously there are lots of confounding variables here though.\nThe reason why this post is particularly interesting, is because I found that a lot of the negatives of caffeine and some of the positives were actually due to other compounds in the caffeine-beverages- the negatives, I assume, from the tannin in tea, coffee, cocoa. The extra positives are most noticeable from cocoa by a large extent, which is qualitatively different to the effects of caffeine and my preferred stimulant. I've not noticed any particularly significant other effects from coffee/tea, but there may well be some. I'd be fascinated to know how much of this is due to theobromine and how much due to the other chemicals which have been suggested to reduce stress and impact gut flora (). Indeed, given the links between mental state and gut flora, I often wonder if the (positive) effects I get from tannic drinks are due to the tannins combating poor gut flora. As to the negative effects of these tannic drinks. I discovered that a lot of the negative effects I'd ascribed to caffeine- jitteriness, digestive disturbance, sick feeling and so on are actually due to the tannins in the drinks. Hence I don't get them anywhere near as much from energy drinks or caffeine pills and the effects of the tannic drinks are heavily ameliorated by adding dairy protein to them.\nI was also interested by you saying that coffee itself was negatively correlated with depression, because I recall that cocoa (despite the purported anti-depressant effects) is positively correlated with depression (). Of course, who knows which way around causation runs.\nWoo - It would be implausible that (on a population level) the high coffee consumers are all successfully self-medicating their depression - that would mean that without the coffee, the people drinking more coffee now would be more depressed than those drinking less coffee… and that would mean that coffee is an incredibly effective, superfly antidepressant, which seems unlikely. Certainly on an individual level almost anything could happen.\nNow the authors of the paper were rather unimaginative in bringing up (solely) the monoamine hypothesis of depression (serotonin, norepinephrine, dopamine). I'm guessing that may be a part of the picture, but also speculate that the high levels of caffeine in coffee have energy efficiency-preserving implications and anti-inflammatory effects. IF the coffee monoamine hypothesis is true, one might expect coffee consumption to be positively correlated with mania in those who have the vulnerability to it. Tough as caffeine can cause insomnia, which also causes mania…via a monoamine mechanism, perhaps!\nThalin - I don't know. If one had celiac I suppose one could follow gluten-eposure biomarkers if one were worried. Those aren't 100% but might be helpful? Again, one would have some explaining to do for coffee to be a cause of depression and have a strong inverse correlation with it, but stranger things have happened and there are obviously confounders.\nJamie - in separate studies, alcohol consumption and cigarette smoking all have positive correlations with depression. That is why the inverse correlation between coffee and depression increased when adjusting for confounders statistically - the increased cigarette consumption with coffee accounted for the difference. The social aspects are definitely other confounders - I think they would be harder to quantify and account for statistically.\nDan - the funny thing about the Finnish study is that the lowest group consumed something like 416mg of caffeine a day - that's nearly double the nurse's health study average consumption. And, again, the positive correlation with suicide in the Finnish study happened at greater than 7 cups of coffee a daily - but it was consistent through 8, 9, and 10 cups a day. The Finns and Swedes and Portlandians love their coffee :-)\nRudolf - I'm a tea drinker. But maybe I should switch up ;-) (seriously, we don't have enough info to make a recommendation here as there are no RCTs, but it is interesting!)\nI've eaten baking chocolate in the late afternoon or after dinner before and been unable to sleep for the entire night. The only times I've drunk coffee after dinner I pulled (not voluntarily) all-nighters as well. Sometimes if I have a morning/lunchtime cup, I become really social, and I feel like I can read really fast, while other times I get a bit more manic, and my focus is horrible. I never thought to check whether cream affects this, as sometimes I have a lot (like 1/3 cream, 2/3 coffee); sometimes I drink black.\nTwo things occur to me: one, when I drink a lot of caffeine relatively quickly, I actually get a very brief euphoric high, suggestive of effects beyond mere alertness. The second, mostly opposing thought: I think it is pretty well established that different genotypes metabolize and react to caffeine differently, and, just as has been proposed for the inverse coffee/Parkinson's correlation, it might be that people that don't react well to caffeine are more prone to depression (as they are to Parkinson's). Dosing them extra coffee would make them jittery in addition to possibly leaving them depressed.\nFortunately for me, I react well to coffee. Note my avatar.\nThis is an interesting one. I dropped drinking caffeine a long time ago to try and address insomnia and it worked to some extent. The only caffeine I have comes in 85-90% chocolate, may be 60 g a day. I have recently had more sleep issues and it may be the chocolate I suppose. However, if you read Candace Pert's Molecules of Emotion you'll soon discover that it's much more interconnected than just a + b = c. I do know that drinking coffee totally 'wires' me and promotes mania and sleeplessness, but I'm sure there are other factors too. I'm looking at the broader picture now my paleo eating (no dairy, no grains, minimal added sugars) has given me some mental stability and I see the road to optimum health through a multi-faceted approach and have started investigating some of the ancient medicinal arts too - yesterday was my first acupuncture experience and that was fairly mind blowing; much of what we 'suffer' is to do with all that has been before which is why everyone's response is so individual and why 'treatment' needs to be bespoke.\nFrom what I have read about caffeine I can´t reach a conclusion on the effect of caffeine: does it work on alertness just because you compensate withdrawal or is it active?.\nYou should try yerba mate. :)\nWhy some people are unable to notice any coffee effect at all? If I have it before I go to sleep I will sleep just fine. O.k., my BMI is 27(used to be 31 4 years ago), I could be like the Woo in a fat period of her life, but my naturally thin 18 yo son has the same reaction on a coffee.\ni wonder if the \"antidepressant\" effect is simply because of a comforting daily ritual for the depressed person who can handle coffee.\nbut i can't consume it more than two days in a row without my heart starting to pound.\ntoo bad 'bout dat... love the stuff.\nOpie\n@Jamie\nI like my coffee is like gollum likes his ring. I prefer it alone in a cave where I can whisper over and over again, \"my preciooous\". Or, alternatively, compulsively read and rant on the interweb, or clean a lot, or work in a stressful fast paced condition.\nSpeaking as half a crazy person, caffeine makes the ordinary exciting, it makes it so that when I am quiet I suddenly begin talking and rambling, makes music sound better and more intense, makes ideas more interesting, makes my thoughts more exciting, gives me the energy to move and clean, completely restores my functioning in spite of not sleeping, etc. Basically caffeine is the \"on\" switch in my brain. I suspect this is so because I am now addicted to it and have no choice in the matter but to drink it just to function mentally, but all the same it is still true. Caffeine, to me, is just as vital if not more vital than food and water. I would seriously prefer to have a day where I was allowed only trivial amounts of food/water, rather than a day totally caffeine free. I would function much better if I was able to keep my caffeine.\nWhen I am depressed, caffeine is the difference between my level of apathy and misery and lethargy. I would sort of compare it to the way a person in pain after an injury might feel for the 4 hrs after medicine. They don't feel good, they aren't functioning as well as they are when they are injury/pain free, but that little pain pill is the difference between suffering badly vs anticipating and feeling some temporary relief, and improving functioning for a little while, and a little while timed properly is a big deal.\nYea I find it real easy to believe that coffee/caffeine drinkers have less depression, but again, I think it is mostly correlation as being able to respond to caffeine is a sign of having in tact dopamine function in the brain, and it is the normal dopamine function in the brain which truly protects against depression (using caffeine is just a passive symptoma of having functional / sensitive dopamine receptors).\n@Galina as David said perhaps you are (unfortunate) in that you do not have the genetics to metabolize and respond to caffeine in a typical fashion? Sort of how I never experience any high from sugar but many people report how much pleasure and excitement and high they feel after eating sucrose food, I have never really felt this \"high\" and the closest I have experienced is maybe, sometimes, relaxation.\nTheres a comment:\nBut alas, I can't access it.\nRudolph, I read it. Doesn't add much (usually comments are very interesting, not this one) - just basically says - don't everyone use this study to start drinking 6 cups of coffee a day, it's observational, blah blah blah :-)\n@ The Woo\nI wouldn't mind to enjoy something as much as you enjoy your cup of coffee(I believe that a coffee addiction is not a health risk). I also never experienced a sugar high and never manage to develop an addiction to tobacco when I used to smoke for social reasons because my than-boy-friend smocked(it lasted for approximately 3 - 5 years). I am sort of a relaxed kind of individual, drink mostly tea and have my coffee often daily because I like the taste. Caffeine has tendency to make my migraine worse when I have one.\nI like to read your comments on all blogs.\nI am having problems to post comments here. Sorry if repeated.\nFrom what I have read about caffeine I can´t reach a conclusion on the effect of caffeine: does it work on alertness just because you compensate withdrawal or is it active?.\nYou should try yerba mate. :)\nHi there. As an Iraqi in Algeria since one year I am still fascinated by Espresso coffee which we don't have in Iraq. i drink two big cups aday. I like your blog alot. Sami, a non-practicing psychiatrist, Bou Saada, Algeria.\nI recently read an article in Forbes about Michael Ellsberg who says he overcame bipolar II by modifying his diet () - no alcohol, sugar or caffeine. I was recently diagnosed with bipolar II, and while I needed no convincing regarding the role that high GI carbs and alcohol play in my mood, I was curious about caffeine. If I understand correctly, dopamine can worsen mania - so if caffeine has pro-dopamine effects, could that explain how it could worsen the symptoms of a person with bipolar?\nJenice - yes, a compelling article. And while I think the standard recommendation to avoid coffee in bipolar is due to the importance of good, restorative sleep, the presumed antidepressant and dopaminergic effect of caffeine (which remains speculative) would be another (perhaps even more compelling) reason for folks with bipolar to avoid high doses of caffeine like coffee and energy drinks."}
{"text": "Will Omega-3 Fatty Acids Make You Healthier?\nVery rarely does traditional medicine and alternative medicine agree on anything.\nHowever, both tend to believe in the positive health benefits of omega-3 fatty acids. Most health care practitioners in all disciplines are recommending patients consume more cold water fish or take the best fish oil supplements. Omega-3 fatty acids are creating quite a bit of media buzz in regards to the tremendous health benefits of omega-3. There are so many different types of omega-3; how does one decide what type to purchase and consume? What is the best omega-3 fatty acid on the market? Fish oil, krill oil, flax seed oil and squid oil all claim to be the best omega-3 available. All of the different sources of omega-3 can be quite confusing to the consumer as well as the physician. Which omega-3 oils have been studied the most? Where and whom do you trust when purchasing your omega-3 fatty acids?\nClearing up the confusion surrounding omega-3 fish oils\nRecent negative publicity and a class action law suit against many of the omega-3 producers in March 2010 alluded to the fact that many of the fish oils being purchased over the counter at the local vitamin shops, drug stores and commercial warehouse clubs were contaminated with unacceptable amounts of PCB, a persistent organic pollutant banned in 1979 but still present in ocean waters. Around the same time, Whole Foods Markets discontinued all krill supplements sold in their stores for sustainability concerns. In 2013 an analysis of a prostate study tried to link prostste cancer to omega 3 without any merrit. The authors tried to say that since the patients with prostate cancer had higher omega 3 levels in their blood there must be a cuase and effect. a much more plausible reason for the elevated omega 3 in their blood was the patients with prostate cancer were taking more omega 3 than the healthy control group. People with any sickness tend to take more supplements . Then in November of 2013 a new study came out concluding omega 3 fish oil is good for prostate cancer patients. This New. This recent controversy in omega-3 has really created a lot of confusion surrounding omega-3.\nFish oil, cardiovascular disease and fatal heart attack\nOmega-3 essential fatty acids are\ncrucial for life and essential for optimal health. Demographic studies indicate that populations that consume more fresh fish are less prone to a variety of health conditions. Populations that consume higher than normal levels of cold water fish have less cardiovascular disease and are less likely to have a fatal heart attack.. The Inuit Indians of Greenland are an example of a particular culture that consumes a lot of fatty fish and has a very low rate of heart disease.\nSources of omega-3\nThe majority of large clinical studies that have documented the positive health benefits of omega-3 fatty acids have utilized fish or fish oil consumption. There is a multitude of positive studies supporting the benficial health aspects of a higher consuption of omega-3 from fish oil or fish. The FDA has given a “qualified health claim” for omega-3 fatty acids EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) and DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) stating “supportive but not conclusive research shows that consumption of EPA and DHA may reduce the risk of coronary heart disease.” good fish oil supplements from the drug store , health food store or internet. However, one must be careful with consuming too much fish because of the potential contaminants that are in particular types of fish. With all of the contamination in the oceans it is becoming more and more difficult to recommend consuming large amounts of fish. I do however still recommend patients to try to consume sardines or wild Alaskan salmon two to three times per week. I do not recommend eating any farm raised salmon due to the high contaminant level, synthetic dye and higher omega-6 content when compared to wild Alaskan salmon. I am also somewhat reluctant to personally consume fish from the Gulf of Mexico since the BP oil spill.\nTriglyceride form fish oil versus ethyl ester fish oil – which is better?\nOmega-3 fish oil has two consumers. If you do not know if your fish oil is an ethyl ester version or triglyceride version a good%.\nAre all omega-3 fatty acids essentially the same? will be relatively inexpensive. A highly refined and purified triglyceride form omega-3 fish oil will cost between $25-$45 for a one month supply. I recommend investing in your health and spending a little extra money when purchasing a fish oil supplement. If you want the best omega-3 fish oil, purchase only the triglyceride form of fish oil. This form of fish oil is actually cheaper becuase to get to a true therapeutic level on the omega index you will need to take much less capsules than the ethyl ester form.\nWhat are the health benefits of omega-3 fish oil?\nSome of the benefits of omega-3 fatty acids are a reduction in the risk of heart attack or stroke, and a reduction in the possibility of hypertension, depression, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder and joint pain from arthritis. Improved circulation to the brain and the entire body\nis also one of the benefits of omega-3 consumption. Omega-3 fatty acids may slow down chromosomal aging by slowing down the rate at which the telomere (the end cap of a chromosome) shortens. Omega-3 is a very potent natural anti-inflammatory and may help with a variety of inflammatory conditions in the body. Many people notice improved health of their skin, nails and hair after consuming a good omega-3 supplement. Omega-3 consumption is proving to be helpful in patients with dry eye, meibomian gland dysfunction and macular degeneration. The treatment of elevated triglycerides is a potential benefit of consuming a good omega-3 fish oil. Taking a good triglyceride form omega-3 fish oil on a daily basis is one step in prevention that everyone at any age should be taking. Another recent study suggests that an increase in omega-3 fish oil may decrease prevalence of breast cancer, prostate cancer and Alzheimer’s.\nHow do you choose between fish, squid, krill or flax seed oil?\nEarlier in the article I stated, “All omega-3s are not created equal.” This is so true. You hear commercials, you see ads in magazines and on the Internet, and you watch talk show hosts on television. They are all promoting their particular omega-3 products, while authoritatively stating that what they offer is “the best on the market”.\nHow do you figure out what is real and what is marketing hype? I think all omega-3 experts will agree that the most bio available form of omega-3 comes from marine sources like fish, squid or krill. Plant based omega-3 is not a good absorbable source of the two most important essential fatty acids EPA and DHA. Flax seed oil is very unstable and therefore it oxidizes very quickly. Flax seed oil ay be rancid before it even gets to the store shelf. Chia, hemp, perilla and marine plant life may be a better plant source of omega-3 fatty acids than flax seed oil. Populations consume omega 3 fatty acids from a variety of different sources based on their culture, religion and geogrphic location. A vegan will only want to consume omega 3 fatty acids from a vegetable source. People with allergies to shellfish will want to stay away from krill oil . This is because the proteins and antigens are not refined out of the krill oil. I think krill has a future as a good alternative to omega-3 fish oil, however, the concentration of krill in most supplements is still relatively low and quite expensive. Krill does have phospholipids which improve the absorption of the omega-3 and a small amount of astaxanthin (the super carotenoid) naturally in the oil. Once krill oil becomes more concentrated and refined I may change my mind regarding the consumption of krill oil. It seems at this time the majority of krill oil contains very small amounts of omega 3 fatty acids. The krill oils we have tested have shown very limited improvement in the omega-3 index and other omega blood studies we have been analyzing. Krill oil studies are very limited at this time and therefore it is very difficult to determine the potential positive or negative impact krill may have. Good quality omega-3 concentrated triglyceride fish oil will have an omega-3 content of approximately 1500-1600 mg per serving combined EPA, DHA and DPA. Many omega-3 experts are concerned krill may become over fished in the Antarctic region and this could hurt the ecological system. This is why Whole Foods pulled all krill off the shelves in early 2010.\nGet good quality highly refined triglyceride form fish oil\nI think squid oil (calamari) has a potential bright future in the omega-3 market but currently I do not recommend it since it is still an ethyl ester form oil. However, once squid oil is available in the triglyceride form it will be a good alternative to TG form fish oil. There is a class action suit that was initiated in early 2010 claiming many of the ethyl ester fish oils that are purchased over the counter at the local drug store, warehouse club or vitamin store were filled with higher than acceptable levels of contaminants, especially PCBs. Consumers must be careful when purchasing fish oil from a local store or on the Internet unless you know what you are getting. Ethel ester fish oils turn rancid very quickly and may taste and smell bad due to this fast rate of oxidation. These oils have a much poorer rate of absorption than triglyceride form fish oil and may have higher than the acceptable levels of contaminants in the oil. So spend a little extra money and get a good quality highly refined triglyceride form fish oil and start to gain the positive health benefits of omega-3 essential fatty acids from a good fish oil. When looking at the label make sure it states triglyceride form or TG form fish oil on the bottle. If it doesn’t say it, it probably isn’t a triglyceride form.\nCreating the highest quality omega-3 fish oil possible\nI became quite frustrated when trying to recommend a good fish oil to my patients due to the the lack of good quality omega-3 fish oils available over the counter, so I decided to develop an extremely high quality omega-3 fish oil. Years of research and a trip to the most advanced omega-3 factories in the world in Norway led to the development of Fortifeye Super Omega, a highly refined, concentrated, triple molecularly distilled triglyceride form fish oil with an EPA of almost 900 and a DHA of almost 600 in two capsules. This omega-3 fish oil is designed to be swallowed or chewed. Fortifeye Super Omega has a great taste and no odor or burp back. This is a great fish oil for patients that have difficulty swallowing or vegetarians that do not want to swallow the gelatin outer capsule. This highest quality fish oil is independently evaluated to be free of any contaminants. Fortifeye Vitamins has done multiple blood tests proving the superior bio availability and absorption properties. The omega-3 index rises significantly at two weeks and almost 100% of participants in the studies had an omega index over 8% after one month while taking two capsules daily. Studies suggest that an omega index greater than 8% correlates with a 90% reduction in the possibility of a fatal heart attack. Doctors all over the world are recommending Fortifeye Super Omega and thousands of people world wide are enjoying the positive health benefits of this higher quality fish oil.

{"text": "Tom Ward\nI could start with the words: “Fodder beet continues to be an interesting crop for finishing beef cattle,” however it’s not a crop, it’s a part of a system – one with three parts.\nThose parts are high winter animal growth rates, high winter stocking rates, and high utilisation of, and response to, early summer pasture.\nThe overall plan is to grow as many kilograms of beef per hectare as fast as possible, minimising feeding for maintenance, minimising interest costs and optimising meat quality (marbling)\nOnce you have planned the programme out, a full-farm, or at least a partial farm budget covering all variable costs, must be completed and compared to the alternative programmes.\nPart of the benefit of fodder beet is that it is a good feed well into spring, until sufficient pasture is available to seamlessly transition back to pasture.\nSome of the fodder beet should therefore be a lifting variety, so that sufficient is planted to cover a slow spring, and if not needed, lifted and stored or sold. In addition, a very wet winter spell might require fodder beet be removed to a drier feeding site, eg: cattle can be fed at various (dry) sites around a farm with FB available in palm kernel trailers.\nThere is good research on growing fodder beet being done by scientists and by innovative farmers. We are seeing the need for and timing of, nitrogen, phosphate and potassium fertilisers critically reviewed. Also, there is much better understanding of herbicide, fungicide and pesticide applications.\nSeeding methods and rates are being experimented with, and sowing dates. In many cases the costs of growing the fodder beet, especially in cents/kg drymatter, are reducing.\nIn summary, get a good farm adviser or farmer you respect to help with detailed advice.\nDairy farmers, in addition to wintering on fodder beet, or partly on fodder beet, are using the crop to milk on in May.\nSheep farmers are wintering ewes and lambs on fodder beet, even lambing on the crop.\nBreeding cows are being successfully calved on it, giving the cows excellent early lactation nutrition, and bulls of all descriptions are being grown out in late summer.\nNevertheless, there is some disappointment with fodder beet.\nMany beef fatteners are frustrated with being unable to achieve 1kg liveweight/head/day. In my district a farmers group decided they had proved 1kg LW/head/day was not possible, at least in inland areas.\nIt is my view that in that study there was only one mob of cattle of sufficient quality, and which also received sufficient quantity of fodder beet, to potentially grow at 1kg LW/head/day.\nThe animal side of the fodder beet programme is just as important to the success of the system as the plant side. The drivers to maximise liveweight gain and minimise losses are: feeding, animal quality (genetics), age, size, health and environment temperature.\nFeeding. It is worth restating that fodder beet is for fully feeding cattle. This is an animal safety issue as well as an animal production issue. You have not transitioned your cattle until they are eating at least 2% of their body weight, and as the animals’ liveweight increases they need more feed.\nIf you do not want to grow an animal, do not feed it fodder beet, unless it is combined with other feeds. If you do want to grow the animal, feed only fodder beet, plus maybe 1kg of pasture or silage for added protein. From an animal viewpoint it is all about ease of consumption, so a variety which sits up out of the ground and is easy to kick over and eat from the side is useful.\nBrigadier is excellent in this regard, and will still yield well.\nAnimal genetics. The farmers doing the fodder beet fattening programme very well all have very good animal genetics. These animals are either from a beef cattle stud, or very closely related to, and purposely selected from, a beef cattle stud. While Jim Gibbs’ research was at a coastal Canterbury farm, nearly all the others are well inland.\nAge. Clearly yearlings (R2 in the winter) have the potential to grow faster because they are bigger and more mature, but so do autumn-born steers (ie: one year old when they go on to a winter fodder beet programme).\nSize. Gibbs’ research showed the larger calves (300kg LW), as a mob, grew faster, but the group of smaller calves (240-260kg LW) had many individuals which grew equally as well.\nHealth. Acidosis due poor transitioning onto FB has been well discussed, but what is less well known is that a recent study by Gibbs and Prendergast suggested that with ad-lib feeding rumen pH in fact rises. Clostridial disease is a risk so a 5:1 vaccine should be used. Phosphorus can be a problem transitioning back to grass.\nEnvironment temperature. No doubt high winter liveweight gains are easier to achieve on the coast, however a number of farmers in inland areas of the South Island are getting close to 1kg LW/head/day in winter. In the United States on grain, where feedlots are often in cold climates, high daily winter LW gains are achieved and in the same location, when the weather is poor, very low to minimal LW gains per day occur.\nAveraging. Farmers need to look beyond the average mob liveweight gain, to the performance of each animal. Some of the reasons for poor individual performance will be management-related, however over time the manager will also identify the relative performance of different animals from different breeders.\nThe manager can then be more accurate with which animals are purchased, and lift the average performance of a mob. Alternatively, if the manager is forced to buy a mob despite not liking all the animals in that mob, or if some do not transition adequately, the undesirable animals can be withdrawn or sold, the sooner the better.\nIn addition, the growth rates, finishing characteristcs and efficiency of animals from the same breeder may vary. Ideally, we should not be buying cattle through the saleyards, but have a relationship with a breeder so that the finisher understands the feeding and genetics of each calf being bought.\n- Tom Ward is a farm consultant based in Ashburton."}

{"text": "This year I lived with at a Buddhist Monastery for 10 days.\nThe Nepalese monks have a philosophy of life that transcends what we are used to. Their path is spiritual and they thrive on compassion above all things possible.\nDuring my spiritual retreat I learned about ignorance, pride, doubt, attachment and a lot about Karma.\nIn my mind Karma worked like a bitch.\nBringing the worst of everything into this lifetime experience.\nHowever I’ve realised, after all the lessons that Karma, as seems by the Buddhists will bring you a clear picture of why things are the way they are.\nIn their perspective, Karma equals action. You can act through 3 doors: the body, the mind and the speech.\nWhat leads the body is the mind so you have an intention – which means moving the mind to the object – you have the driving force behind doing what you do.\nKarma is essentially a law of cause and effect and it has 4 characteristics that, when understood should help you sort out your energetic Karma.\n1) Karma is definite\nGood actions will certainly bring good results\n2) Karma expands\nSmall actions can lead to a big result\n3) If you haven’t created it you can’t experience it\nYour experience is the result of your own actions\n4) Karma doesn’t expire\nIf you create an action it will be intemporal, and not within a certain timeframe.\nThe most interesting part of Karma is that although you might have it imprinted on your life it needs the right conditions to happen.\nIt’s like a virus, it needs a certain environment to develop. When you make sure that the environment is not the best for the virus, even if somehow exists, it won’t be able to develop itself.\nSo Karma, is only a bitch if you let it take over your own life and if you let it expand creating the conditions for it.\nPractice actions that result on good Karma and the tables should turn on your favor."}
