JUDAS KISS - J. T. Ellison
Nashville, Tennessee - Present Day
A young, pregnant woman lies dead on the floor of her bedroom, and her eighteen-month-old daughter wanders the empty house covered in her blood. Two days later, Corinne Wolff’s sister, Michelle Harris, arrives for their tennis date. They’ve been practicing for the upcoming tournament at their country club, something they’ve been doing for years with Michelle always playing the lackey to Corinne’s talented expertise. When she arrives at Corinne’s home, Michelle walks in through the unlocked door (no one in this quiet neighborhood locks their doors). The house is unnaturally quiet, and a horrific stench hangs like a cloak on the inside. Michelle finds Corinne’s bludgeoned body and calls 911.
Homicide Detective Lieutenant Taylor Jackson has just returned from a wonderfully relaxing three week vacation to Italy. This trip was supposed to be her honeymoon, but thanks to a criminal who thwarted her special day by kidnapping her (see 14, Sept. 2008), the wedding didn’t happen, and the honeymoon trip just turned into a lovely extended vacation for Taylor and her fiancé, FBI Profiler John Baldwin. Today, John is leaving for Virginia to follow up on an urgent case of his own when Taylor gets the call about the Wolff murder. A pregnant wife, a missing husband, and a disgruntled family are all fodder for rampant speculation and tabloid news. What kind of psychopath would murder a pregnant woman and leave her baby daughter wandering alone in the house? It’s Taylor’s job to find the answers.
A Taylor Jackson Mystery is always something special we can dig into and know that we will enjoy every single word of the ride. In this third episode, JUDAS KISS, Taylor is after Corinne Wolff’s killer, while another unseen killer is stalking Taylor. The love of her life, John Baldwin, is off to Quantico, but he's hiding the real facts of his case from Taylor in a lie that he has neglected to tell her about, never having found the right moment. Although it is something she should know so that she can protect herself from an unseen stalker, Taylor is oblivious to John's deception. They truly love each other, and Taylor trusts John implicitly, but their upcoming wedding just never seems to get off the ground. John even proposed a second time and presented her with a new ring while they were in Italy, but even so, Taylor is still l little bit commitment-shy.
Taylor's team of detectives are back in this third novel. Pete Fitzgerald, Lincoln Ross, and Marcus Wade are busy helping her fight some new personal battles that loom while they all are searching for Corinne Wolff’s killer. Someone is trying to smear Taylor’s name and her reputation, and her team won’t let that happen, not on their watch. Taylor’s best friend, Dr. Sam (Samantha) Loughley, is also on board. Sam will lend a friendly ear, if only Taylor would share her troubles, which she doesn’t.
JUDAS KISS is the third Taylor Jackson Mystery and follows ALL THE PRETTY GIRLS, (November 2007); and 14, (September, 2008). And get ready for the fourth book in this series, EDGE OF BLACK, due out in September 2009. JUDAS KISS stands totally alone, and although the focus this time is only on just one murder and a single killer, there's another danger queuing up in the shadows, and the final spine-tingling chapter ends with a cliffhanger. I can’t wait to sink my teeth into in the next installment of Taylor’s adventures! JUDAS KISS is a wonderful edge-of-your-seat novel. It is a guarantee that you will not put it down until the very last page!

The immediate hands-on, sensory experience of spending time in the outdoors is a crucial part of our students’ education. Developing an appreciation of the beauty and tranquility of the natural world is also key to their understanding their place in the natural world. The lessons in the challenges of camping make our students more resilient and adaptable in all aspects of their lives.
The 7th Grade starts off the fall semester with a three-day orientation trip to 100 Elk, an outdoor education center in Buena Vista, Colorado. The 8th Grade also participates in an camping orientation; they spend 3 days near Los Brazos, near Chama where they are guided in learning to work together in teams and begin to learn to be more responsible for themselves and each other, all the while setting personal goals, and setting the tone for the Middle School as a whole.
In late January, the Middle School participates in Winter Wonder Days spending four Mondays in the snowboarding, skiing, or snowshoeing.
At the end of the school year, the seventh grade will come together for an overnight camping trip at Ghost Ranch. The eighth graders go on the annual rafting trip on the San Juan River, near Pagosa Springs, Colorado.
The 9th, 10th, and 11th graders go camping during the first weeks of school.
The 9th graders join Cottonwood Gulch near Grants to explore the wonders of the lava fields and tubes of El Malpais National Monument, as well as the nearby Zuni Mountains. The 10th and 11th graders head out to Santa Barbara Campground and Agua Piedre Campground, respectively. These are both located in the Carson National Forest. They work in small cook groups with a teacher cooking and cleaning for each other. Activities can include hiking, swimming, games, archery, group challenges, etc.
In January, all upper school students will have the opportunity to join in the annual Wolf Creek Ski Trip near Pagosa Springs, Colorado.
The seniors main event is the five day rafting trip on the Green River in southern Utah. This trip down Desolation Canyon is incredibly beautiful both in scenery and in the opportunity for the seniors to slowly say goodbye to each, with graduation right on the heels of the trip.

Why Oral Hygiene is Critical to Keeping Your Cat Healthy.
Why does my cat have bad breath?
Kittens have 26 teeth, while adult cats have 30. If each tooth can be considered a patient, that equates to a lot of dental care! Periodontal disease is considered the most prevalent disease in cats four years of age and older.
After your pet has eaten a meal, plaque begins to accumulate on the teeth within four hours. This plaque consists of bacteria, saliva and food particles. The bacteria excrete toxins and enzymes that break down the gum tissue. As a result of this bacterial infection, the gum line becomes inflamed and you will notice a very foul-smelling odor from your pet's mouth.
Brushing your cat's teeth can become easy, and once familiar with the activity, he might look forward to it. For the first few days, simply hold your pet as you normally do when petting him. For a minute or two, gently stroke the outside of his cheeks with your finger and praise him.
As your pet becomes more comfortable with this activity, place a small amount of veterinary approved toothpaste on your fingers and let him sample the flavor. Soon, he will consider it a treat. Next, introduce your pet to an animal toothbrush or finger brush. Gently raise his upper lip and place the brush against an upper tooth and the adjoining gum line.
Gradually increase the number of teeth you brush each day, but go slowly and not beyond your pet's comfort level. Build up to approximately 30 seconds of brushing
each side of your pet's mouth.
ADDITIONAL AT HOME CARE:
Numerous home dental care products are available to help you with your pet's dental
care. These include such products as Hills Prescription Diet t/d, veterinary approved Chews, and Oxyfresh oral rinse. We will also gladly give you a teeth brushing demonstration!
But anesthesia for my pet's dental cleaning scares me!
The risk of allowing dental disease to continue untreated far outweighs the risks associated with anesthesia in all but a few very sick patients. It is true that anesthesia cannot be 100% risk free for people or pets but it is possible make it a very controlled, very low risk event. We utilize the best available anesthetic agents, sophisticated monitoring equipment, and a trained technician assigned to monitor each patient, to create the safest procedure possible for our anesthetized patients.
Ask your veterinarian if a preventative dental cleaning and assessment (anesthesia free dental) is right for your cat).

As a family owned company we know all aspects of our business – we are California natives, and have been collectively involved in growing for 50+ years.
Our story in how we started medicating with cannabis is probably similar to yours – Doctors prescribed pharmaceuticals which never cured anything, but rather created more havoc in our bodies and ultimately life’s. So rather than continuing with that destructive protocol we began “listening” to our bodies and started eating organically; juicing when we needed to fix things quickly; used Feng Shui in our life to create balance and harmony; started enjoying nature more; and included noncannabis essential oils as well as cannabis into our everyday life.
The result is that we are happier and feel an inner peace and calming more than before. And truly we feel that if you are healthy, happy and at peace your body and mind are operating at its optimum.
We believe that cannabis is a naturopath approach to treating many ailments. It might be a cure all for some, but others may need other protocols to compliment the use of cannabis. There is a great depth of knowledge in the world and if we all share, it will ultimately benefit the whole.
There are only solutions…no problems.

Milwaukee hip-hop is in a great place. After Arrested Development, Coo Coo Cal, and Baby Drew helped put local rap on the map between the early ’90s and the turn of the century, the genre began to struggle for an identity and recognition outside city limits. About five years ago, something special started to take shape. Months after IshDARR’s Broken Hearts & Bankrolls continued the young emcee’s ascent, days before WebsterX’s Daymares release show, and with countless other local rappers putting out remarkable releases along the way, we figured it was prime time to reexamine the state of Milwaukee hip-hop.
Host Tyler Maas recently met with up-and-coming musician Vincent VanGreat at the Cactus Club. They were also joined by Promise, a V100.7 radio personality who highlights the best in Milwaukee-made hip-hop every weekend on his “Heat From The Street” segment. Together, the trio talked up the history of Milwaukee hip-hop, its ups and downs, struggles rappers face in this market, and who is helping to bolster the city’s rap rep.
This episode is brought to you by Surly Brewing and Pridefest. Music in this episode comes courtesy of Piles (“Blue Glue”) and Vincent VanGreat (“To The Stars”). Subscribe to On The Record via iTunes or Stitcher (for free!).

Export to an alternative folder
I would like to export reports directly to a alternative folder to "downloads" but cannot find out how to create an alternative path. Is this possible?

OK, just thought I might have missed a trick.
At the moment everything just goes to downloads and you can move them from there.

Missing You Mugs
I have sisters on both coasts and I live in Texas. So I see them rarely and miss them often. I got these great mugs as a gift and wanted to share them with you because they would make a great gift for someone you are missing.
My sister in Massachusetts sent me these awesome mugs for Christmas. They are large soup mugs and each have a lid. You want a close up? I thought you might.
She is there in Mass...
I'm here in Texas.
Aren't they cute?! I LOVE them! My sister that lives in Seattle was jealous of them because she appreciates a good mug.
I asked Brooke how she made them and she said they were so easy. She used a permanent marker. Drew her design. Then baked them to set it.
She said they might be dishwasher safe but to wash them by hand to preserve them the best.
I found a pin with the directions:
Go check it out if you are interested. This is much cheaper than buying the glass paint like I have done in the past. lol
If you make some share the link in the comments!

I politely disagree.
This was an informative article, and I didn't get offended by it, unlike some others.
Anyway, I am a therian, a rabbit to be exact (this is just my belief, just like people can be Christian/Atheist/whatever), which means I identify as that animal and believe I am a reincarnated rabbit in a human body.
This is why I would never eat rabbit and why I disapprove of hunting rabbits - I relate to them and it hurts me to see them dead or in pain.
Although rabbits have destroyed crops and are pests, humans, too could be classed as pests if another species 'ruled the world', maybe rabbits. Humans destroy forests, kill for the heck of it (some of them, anyway), and start wars.
However, most people will argue that 'humans are higher than animals' or that you 'can't compare them'. I disagree. If a human spirit (not sure of your beliefs, but let's say we do have spirits for the sake of examples) reincarnated as an animal, I am sure they wouldn't think they were worth less because of their new forms, AKA what they looked like.
If you're starving in the wild, I'm not against hunting of prey animals - that's just how things work, after all.
And if humans must kill our fellow species, I believe they should do so in a kind way, not for fun, and make use of as many parts of the animal as possible, with respect.

In Shakespeares Othello the characters are as much a victim of their own weakness as they are of Iagos plotting. Do power dynamics in Othello support this?
Iago, whos charisma and intellect make him more powerful than Othello and Desdemona, proves that powerplay amongst the characters supports the fact that characters, specifically Othello and Desdemona, are equally victims of their own weakness as they are of Iagos plottings. Othello and Desdemonas weaknesses are race and gender respectively which hugely depletes their personal power. Iagos uses his power to make Othello and Desdemona as much a victim as their own weaknesses as they are of his plotting’s.
Othello is as made as much a victim of his skin colour, as he is of Iagos plottings. The effect that Othellos skin colour has on his sense of self and confidence, greatly depletes his personal power. Othello’s skin colour is not a weakness in his own mind, but rather those around him who treat him differently make it his weakness. Othello is dehumanized when he is spoken about, being referred to as “old black ram” and “the devil”. These metaphors not only highlight the role that Othello’s skin colour has on how he is perceived by others, but also show that Othello’s dark skin is associated with wickedness. The role that race plays on the way that characters interact with Othello can be seen to have an affect on his sense of self. In the first Act of the play, Othello is seen to know his own worth, and when an important white man threatens to punish Othello, he responds with “Let him do his spite: My services which I have done the signory, Shall out-tongue his complaints,” Othellos tremendous control, and confidence in himself, leaves no trace of evidence that his race has had any effect on him. By the third act Othello responds to Desdemonas supposed infidelity, and we can see that Othello can recognize the negative connotations of his race. “My name, that was as fresh As Dian's visage, is now begrimed...

We have only German-language motorhome tours in the program. Our tour guides and most travel participants also speak English.
You can join on our tours but: all documents and the briefing is in German. We have many tour participants from European countries and some from the United States, Canada, South Africa, Australia & New Zealand - most of them understood German.
The SeaBridge philosophy of travel.
Everyone for himself - but not alone.
This is the principle of our motorhome tours. Here goes not the tour guide in front and everyone else to see how they come afterwards. There is no "pecking order" in the form of a numbering of the vehicles. Each tour participant traveling to their own driving style. In small organizations or individual drivers, equipped with the unique SeaBridge road book. With detailed day trips and directions as well as maps showing the pre-booked campsites all are relaxed in a position to cope with the daily stages. Move-tours at your own pace or - if provided - in the group stages on the loose. To take into account the individual needs of the traveler, only the amount is as little as possible, regulated as necessary.
A German travel guide accompanies the tour and is available with help and advice. In daily meetings in the evening the tour guide explained the program the following day, which also campfire romance should not be missed. Social Gathering will be organized with the help of the tour guide.
Driving in the closed, the entire group (convoy), we reject in principle, since it is associated with major limitations and stress situations. In general, small associations form of two to four vehicles to jointly cope with the daily stages. Some also drive alone to their own taste. The tour guide drives usually last vehicle and brings the group to the route. It runs by itself, but so are not alone, for example in an accident within a short time other trip participants and the tour guide on the spot.
No sticking to the bumper of the front man, not a permanent look in the rearview mirror on the back of man. In short, the drive according to your own needs guarantees pleasant and stress-free travel.
Itinerary and daily stages
The route is drawn up after tourist interest points. It is based here in the sights of supply and accommodation, as well as in the negotiability of commercial, road-going vehicles. The length of the daily stages is chosen so that one travels by daylight, time for breaks, shopping and sightseeing has. The driving time is usually 3 to 4 hours a day. Also, the recovery should not be neglected. Therefore, we have also planned beach and swim days.
SeaBridge-trips are carefully researched and explored. We do not do "Pilot Travel", which were previously worn only with the finger on the map.
Each participant fills an evaluation sheet after the tour. So we can respond to the expressed wishes of a majority of our fellow travelers on subsequent tours. Finally, your journey is indeed our service.
Exclusive to SeaBridge: the road book
For each travel day you get three sheets usually. A sheet with the Tagesetappen- and Directions, a sheet with a road map and a sheet with the campground description, including driving directions. The Road-Book for our 140-day USA & Mexico tour has a circumference of nearly 400 pages! The quality of our Road-Books is always praised by the travelers are high. Quotes: "The best thing I've ever had in my hand better way to not do it!" Such comments can hone us with joy for further improvements.

Digital currencies (or cryto currencies) are big business with BitCoin leading the way and a lot of people have made big money from BitCoin. There are some who lost a lot of course as the price can be highly volatile.
There is a new sort of cyber currency called PAX coins. It’s really a means of betting on other cyber currencies and companies on the PayperEx market but scam emails are circulating about PAX that give a deliberately simplified and misleading view on PAX.
Refer to https://fightbackonline.org/index.php/guidance/12-explanations/92-payperex-exchange-and-pax-cyber-coins for further information on PayperEx and PAX coins.
The scam emails claim ”Finally PAX is here! A True and very special digital coin”
“If you bought 100 dollars where the Bitcoin on that day seven years ago it will be worth 73 million dollars”
And so it goes on linking the past of Bitcoin with the future of PAX, but of course there is no connection or correlation.
PAX coins cannot be bought as such, only traded on PayperEx and the value depends on the value of the items that the PAX coins represent.
Trading on PayperEx is very new and it may be legitimate, but the risks are huge and these emails are just scammers looking for easy money.
Do you have an opinion on this matter? Please comment in the box below.

Miesha Tate, twice beaten by Ronda Rousey in her career, says that the former women’s bantamweight champ is a ‘broken woman’.
Miesha “Cupcake” Tate is no stranger to Ronda Rousey.
Their paths first crossed in Strikeforce, where both Rousey and Tate started making a name for themselves. Then, when UFC bought out their contracts from Strikeforce, their paths crossed again. Both matches ended the same, with Rousey winning via armbar submission.
Years later, Rousey and Tate appear to be headed for a collision course in UFC 200, as “Cupcake” spoiled a rematch between Holly Holm and Tate by pulling off an improbable win in UFC 196.
With the match almost a done deal, Miesha Tate is now hounded with questions about her foe. On the Jay Mohr Show, Tate says that she is not facing the same Rousey that defeated her twice before.
“What about Ronda’s mentality? I think Ronda is beating herself up over this. I mean, she previously said that she’s so emotional to the point where she’s considering crazy things. It’s like, this is a broken woman. I don’t know if she’ll ever come back the same,” Tate said on the Jay Mohr Show.
“But I have proven that I can come back from adversity and I do come back and I will come back. And there’s no one in this sport that can break me. I have the strongest mindset of anybody in there. I don’t know where Ronda is with her mindset, but I have to wonder. Is she ever going to come back the same?”
“I just saw how Ronda got demolished with clean striking [against Holm],” Tate said. “I think that I’ve improved so much and I’ve showed that in this fight with Holly.”
Also, Tate has polished her overall moves inside the Octagon, especially with her move to the Xtreme Couture camp in Las Vegas and training under boxing coach Jimmy Gifford.
“Look at how much my striking improved,” Tate said. “From that fight that I fought Ronda, I still had really wild, kind of flinging hooks. I let Ronda come right into that clinch. [I was punching] so wide and open and nothing down in the middle.”

Sometimes there is so much I want to say about a kitchen that I have to break it up into several posts. The Miele/SubZero Wolf kitchen was one of those kitchens.
My initial post introduced the start of the project: The Beginning. That was followed with an overall view of the completed kitchen: The Miele/Subzero Kitchen. And then the details regarding the incredible appliances in the kitchen: The Built-In Refrigerator, The 5-Burner Cooktop & Hood, and The Steam Oven.
There are just a few other details that I would like to bring to light before closing the chapter on this kitchen. An Impressive and stunning job was done Marlam Industries in laying down the granite countertop. They are part of the team I've assembled through my years in the business because they take care of my clients like I take care of them, and they pay attention to details like I pay attention to details. Kitchen designers do not work in a vacuum, we work in collaboration with other trade professionals. They help bring our designs to life. And when you've assembled a good team, you have a successful installation.
Whenever possible it is a good design idea to group tall, deep cabinets together. This wall was tricky because I modified both tall cabinets and needed the result to show them in alignment and when you do that there is always an element of risk.
What I love most about this wall space though is the negative space above the 36" base cabinets. Yes, we could have put wall cabinets with glass doors above the base cabinets and that would have looked great but this kitchen already had plenty of cabinet space so it wasn't totally necessary. This space is blank by design. It is there for whatever artistic expression or statement the homeowner chooses to include there. It could be paintings, mirrors, display shelves, floral arrangements, mosaic art etc. The possibilities are endless. This is a great opportunity to personalize the design and enrich the atmosphere of the kitchen.

On Monday, March 23rd, I had a non-stress test for the baby and an ultrasound done to check the amniotic fluid level. Praise God, the results for both tests were normal! However, during the ultrasound, the technician discovered that Little One #3 is not in position yet, she was laying sideways and not head-down. I will be considered full-term by tomorrow, Saturday. I saw the midwife last night and checked the position of the baby again and she was still fully sideways.
I am scheduled for an external version on Monday @ 10am. The doctor will basically use an ultrasound to aid him in manually turning the baby. The risk for this procedure is an immediate C-section if the baby goes in distress. The good news is that the doctor who will be doing this will not force the baby to move if he doesn't think she will and he has never had to do a C-section during this procedure.
If the external version is successful and the baby is turned, then I would be set to go into labor.
If the external version is not successful and the baby is still in a transverse position, fully laying sideways, when I go into labor, a C-section is required. There is no way to vaginally deliver a transverse baby.
In the meantime, the midwife has given us some things to do to encourage the baby to move into position. One is the get on all 4s and rub the baby towards the direction she needs to go. Another is to get mysel upside down or at least my bottom higher to encourage the Little One's head to float up, which might encourage her to move in the right direction. Another is to shine a flash light where her head should be because Little Ones are inquisitive and she may want to see what the light is all about. Another is to just lean forward over the counter to give enough room for the Little One to move. We will be doing these things throughout the weekend.
We hope all our endeavors work.
Our hope and desire is to avoid a C-section.
"One thing have I asked of the LORD, that will I seek after: that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to gaze upon the beauty of the LORD and to inquire in his temple. For he will hide me in his shelter in the day of trouble; he will conceal me under the cover of his tent; he will lift me high upon a rock." -Psalm 27:4,5
"He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will abide in the shadow of the Almighty. I will say to the LORD, 'My refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust.'" -Psalm 91:1,2

I am prompted to write this after seeing a few recent examples of such irrelevant relevance claims. For example, the recently released American Anthropological Association's "AAA Statement on Humanity and Climate Change" includes this text:
"6. The archaeological record reveals diverse human adaptations and innovations to climate stresses occurring over millennia, providing evidence that is relevant to contemporary human experience" (emphasis in original).
And then yesterday I read a review of a book about ancient markets and commercial economies that suggested that the book is relevant to the recent economic turndown. The review stated that "this book could easily be subtitled 'Ancient Widsom for Wall Street'." Incredible. Some Wall Street trader is going to read an archaeology book about ancient non-capitalist economies and act on what he or she learns. Give me a break. This is a pipe dream.
I gave a talk last fall at a workshop of the iHOPE-Maya group. The work of that group is described in Chase and Scarborough (2014); my talk is Smith (2014). I do not have a written version of the talk. The following is a brief outline of my talk.
To start, comparative analysis is hard (Smith 2012a), and it is particularly difficult to compare ancient and modern social phenomena when archaeologists have yet to produce reliable, synthetic, quantifiable findings about the past (Smith 2010). So, what is needed to claim that a particular archaeological finding is "relevant" (in a useful and realistic way) to some modern concern?
First, we need a good scientific basis for the archaeological find. That is, we need an explicit, evidence-based conclusion that most reasonable people will accept as correct. Abstract theory and speculation are not helpful. They may be useful to some people, in some contexts, but if you want someone to pay attention to an empirical finding, it needs to be a strongly-supported scientific conclusion. My point in Smith (2010) was that for ancient cities, we so far have few such conclusions that extend beyond a single city. It is easy to say, "At Teotihuacan, they did such-and-such," but much harder to say that "at all large ancient Mesoamerican cities, they did such-and-such."
Second, someone has to take up the archaeological claim and use it for some purpose: a policy-maker, a journalist, or another scientist. This is the tough part. These folks are just not going to read our technical literature and come up with useful findings. Some journalists do engage with archaeologists, but they are more likely to get things wrong than to report accurately on a find and its scientific significance. There is a scholarly literature on the relationship between social sciences and policy, and I draw on that literature here.
van Langenhove (2011) identifies several levels of impact on policy makers:
- Policy makers need to be aware of the new knowledge
- They need to pay attention to the new knowledge
- They need to form opinions/ attitudes about the knowledge
- They need to initiate actions based on that knowledge
Since policy makers are not going to read our journals, and few of us have the skills or fortitude to make our results known in the realm of policy, how might these processes of impact work? A major concept is translation: how technical findings get translated into simple terms that policy-markers can understand (Tseng 2012). Most commonly in the social sciences, this is through intermediaries: entrepreneurs, advocacy groups, think tanks, and media consultants. But these things just don't exist for archaeology. The SAA and AIA do a very limited job in this arena. Most such work is actually done by university public relations offices, and they do a terrible job.
A big topic in the social science policy realm is "evidence-based policy" (e.g., Cherney and Head 2011, Bogenschneider and Corbett 2010). Empirical studies show that most policy is made with little or no consideration of the relevant social-science research. Politicians drafting laws about school lunch programs pay no attention at all to research on those programs. When the California legislature drafted a law about the purported relationship between video games and teen violence, they ignored the relevant research and let themselves be guided by biased promoters with inaccurate data. This is a fascinating case (Ferguson 2013); it went all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court, which ended up making a decision on which scientific evidence was valid and which was not (something the California legislature evidently had trouble with).
In a study of rural how policy gets made in rural municipalities in Canada, Reimer and Brett (2013) found that:
“The results indicate that the respondents [local government officials] seldom provided justification for their claims and when they did, scientific evidence was infrequently used. Instead, the respondents most often used examples from their personal experience or public meetings as support [for their policy decisions]."
I recall seeing an estimate that of all the considerations that go into creating a piece of policy, the contribution of relevant evidence is almost always under 5%. Given these (and other) findings from research on social science policy, I see the chances of archaeological results being taken up and acted on by policy makers as just about nonexistent.
I have a different strategy. If social science research is going to be accommodated at all in the policy world, it is going to come from the best known specialists, not from archaeologists. It is going to come from the broader domain of knowledge about some phenomenon (urbanism, economics, demography, sustainability, whatever), rather than the limited domain of archaeological knowledge. I think archaeologists will advance farther in getting out our message beyond archaeology by trying to contribute to these broader domains. This has two advantages. First, we can help scholars create more realistic and better models of, say, urban neighborhoods, by expanding the domain beyond contemporary western cities. Second, this strategy can produce indirect influences on policy.
On the first front, I have been engaged in exercises of this sort for a while now, publishing in journals and attending conferences in other disciplines. There is a downside, of course. The time I spend in learning about these other disciplines is time I am not spending on my own Mesoamerican research. I published what I consider a major paper on ancient urban planning (Smith 2007), that is rather poorly cited by archaeologists because it is in a strange journal (Journal of Planning History). But these efforts have had some payoff in broadening perspectives on urbanism among some scholars in other disciplines.
On the second front, no policy maker is going to pay attention to my research on ancient urban neighborhoods, but they may very well pay attention to the work of people like Robert Sampson or Robert Chaskin. These are two of the top researchers on neighborhood issues in contemporary cities, and both have been involved in policy work. If I can convince people like Sampson or Chaskin that archaeological research on neighborhoods is important and has something to say, that knowledge can become incorporated into their personal scholarly views, and perhaps have a policy impact (Smith 2012b). I do know that Sampson has taken an interest in ancient neighborhoods and has cited me, which is an encouraging first step.
Sorry to go on at such length. But rather than make unwarranted and decontextualized claims for the relevance of archaeological findings, I think we should be trying to refine our data, methods, and findings, and then we should promote them to scholars in other disciplines. If you think archaeology is "relevant" to some contemporary concern, then do the work needed to generate reliable knowledge. Translate it into nontechnical terms, and get it out to other scholars. Publish in non-archaeology journals. Contact other scholars and make your point. Put your money where your mouth is. Telling other archaeologists that you think your work is "relevant" may make you feel good, but it doesn't accomplish very much in the real world.

Weekly Update #13:
Robert Ross is a Counterparty Foundation Community Director and the Director of FoldingCoin Inc. Each week Robert and various guests will bring you the news of what has been going on in the Counterparty communities and also touching base on the other Bitcoin 2.0 communities.
I am happy to announce the ability for paid sponsorship’s. I accept any Counterparty Token that is on CoinMarketCap.com in addition to TOPFOLDER tokens, please click below
Thank you to Chris DeRose and Joshua Unseth for the chit-chat recap of the week. I am looking into finding a permalink so you can simply click here to join the chit chat (an admin setting in the channel needs to change), but in the meantime please tweet @derosetech and he will grant you access.
Please contact me [email protected] with any Counterparty projects you are working on with suggestions to feature them on the show. Or contact me if you would like assistance or advice on how you can create your project on the Counterparty platform. I may not be able to answer your question or help your project, but I will do my best to find the person who can.
If you are an independent artist and would like to hear your song on this show, please email me at [email protected] and we can arrange something. Thank you to Cyrus Youngman and the Kingfishers for the audio segways.
I have really grown to love all of the Counterparty projects over the past year, but of course many of you know me as the FoldingCoin guy which I love even more :) FoldingCoin is great and development is continuing on. Using a Counterparty token to pay people to help find the cure is a fantastic idea, and I look forward to continuing to be part of a great team in FoldingCoin. Many of you don't know Jona and James, but the are critical figures in the FoldingCoin world. But i received an email from someone asking me why donations from this podcast go to the FoldingCoin project and not the Counterparty Foundation as this is not only a FoldingCoin podcast. This is a good point, especially as I just advocated others to help contribute to the project. So as of today, all tips, donations, and sponsorship payments from this podcast will be used to better the Counterparty Foundation. I would still love your support for FoldingCoin though and you can still donate at foldingcoin.net
This show is not intended for investment advice.
Mark Smith, CEO of Symbiont had an interview on tabb forum this week discussing smart securities and tokens on the blockchain.
Counterparty released the August 17th update covering Smart Contracts, Coindaddy, and XCPassets.org.
- Symbiont has released a statement on how the relations between the two will work. In a blog post at counterparty.io the following is stated:
Symbiont as a business is, as it has always been, a separate entity from Counterparty. We build products to match our clients’ needs, and Counterparty (as an open, public platform) cannot service all use-cases. However, Counterparty is a core part of the Symbiont “tech stack”, with entirely complementary technology to the other systems we are developing. In cases where public network on public blockchain (Bitcoin) solutions are most appropriate, Counterparty is the prime tool in our toolbelt. Effectively, nothing has changed with respect to our enthusiasm for the potential of Counterparty, and permissioned ledgers will augment Symbiont’s platform offerings, not compete with the many market uses for Counterparty. We will continue to support the Counterparty ecosystem by providing development resources, funding Ivana Zuber in her position as Executive Director of the Counterparty Foundation and handling incoming business development inquiries. However, as we onboard more clients and partners, and develop more products, we will not be able to discuss if, why or how that client product uses or does not use Counterparty. (Determining use of Counterparty should be clear to anyone via a Counterparty block explorer.)
Project of the Week:
- This week I spoke with Sean, also known as Something on the Counterpartytalk.org forums instead of a project of the week.
A new Counterparty token NGXX has been created for the website notgoxxed.com (currently if you go to the site it asks for login credentials). NotGoxxed is a community driven platform that list businesses, services, and individuals that serve the cryptocurrency space.
GEMZ has just passed the 10,000 transaction milestone joining LTBCOIN and FLDC. LTBCOIN looks as though it will hit the 100,000 transaction milestone first as currently there are around 95,000 LTBCOIN transactions. Counterparty as a whole now is over the 300,000 transaction milestone.
You can now participate in data mining for Storj. Recently Storj labs released a blog with a step by step guide on how to set this up. Shawn Wilkinson recently tweeted that there is now over 250 TB on the network. For more information please visit storj.io or the counterpartytalk.org thread
Adam, Stephanie and Andreas dig into the Tokenly project discussing use-cases and implications on LTB episode 239. I really enjoyed this one and I encourage everyone to listen if they already haven't.
- Joe Looney has started another project xcp.ninja that is a Blockchain Validated Asset Metadata system. Basically this allows you to create enhanced asset information easily and quickly by filling out the simple form on xcp.ninja and then broadcasting the message that the website tells you to. For more information there is a thread that has been started by Joe in the counterpartytalk.org forums so go check it out. Fantastic URL by the way Joe
In the Community
- Last week I read the blog from Mike Hearn in favor of BitcoinXT. People asked if I wouldnt mind going over the otherside this week, so I will be now reading the blog from Bram Cohen disagreeing with BitcoinXT.
Shout Outs and Sponsorship's
- None this week
- The company that I have worked for throughout my Adult life has been very kind to me this year by letting me come and go as I please so I can work on FoldingCoin and Counterparty. They have a new project taking place out of town that will last for almost a year. They offered for me to help manage the project, but they know that my crypto life is very important to me. So we have come to a fantastic compromise. I will simply be on the job site leading my crew while construction is going. I will have a desk I can use that I will bring all of my podcast equipment and other crypto necessities. I will be able to clock in and out at my discretion whenever I am needed on the job-site. The rest of the time I can continue to work on crypto. This is actually going to be a fantastic opportunity to get a lot of crypto work done, but at the same time make some money. Since I will not be at home, no distractions will be able to take me away from my laptop, so I really am looking forward to this. The reason I am telling this story is for two things:
Next week will be a very short podcast as the first week of the project will require my full attention.
- Does it have to be a short show? Here is what I have been thinking: I really like the idea that me and Chris discussed about the Chit Chat section before it began. It has gone great so far and a lot of the community likes it. Wouldn't it be great if more sections like the Chit Chat became part of the show? If anyone in the community has a great section idea that they would love to pitch me with them in it, I would love to include it in the show. You can even send me audio if you feel like trying it out, and I would absolutely love to talk about adding it.
Having a Counterparty show with a couple of segments is great. But I would love to think that a lot of smaller segments making one whole podcast could capture the interests of people a lot longer and thus make the podcast better. I would be more then willing to edit it for you as I do for the Chit Chat, and like the Chit Chat, you could release the full episode and I will link it in the show notes so those who want to hear more from you can and will.
- Hopefully I get a bunch of takers and perhaps I will feature some on next weeks show and see which ones the community likes. Email me [email protected] with your audio and lets see what happens.

Do you plan to taper your Christmas spending this year? It seems several people I’ve talked with are planning to cut back on the amount that they are spending this year. Perhaps it’s cutting back on the number of gifts you give to your family members or how much you’re spending on decor and holiday extras. It’s good to be intentional with your spending and not just buy randomly just because you’ve hit a great sale.
With repurposing and reusing being so popular right now, it’s a great way to stretch your shopping dollars. It’s easy to get sucked in to over buying when all the sales and promos start popping up.
Make a list of who you’re buying for, jot down the amount you want to spend and of course try to stick as closely as you can to this. Making good choices is crucial to not over spending!
Create as many homemade/handmade gifts as you can. There are endless ideas for this. Here are a few,
Create a calendar using photographs you’ve taken, make candles, create a gift basket suited for his/her taste, bake some goodies and put in a cellophane bag tied with a pretty ribbon. Also donating to a charity in someone’s name is a nice way to keep the giving going! Thoughtful gifts don’t have to be expensive. Giving of your time, helping someone out by shopping for them, watching their children so they can go out, driving someone to their appointments, you get the idea!
Instead of buying more Christmas decorations repurpose what you have, change up holiday bows or decor on wreaths, collect greenery clippings and pinecones and use in urns and planters adding a bow or some oversized ornaments that you probably already have. If you love changing your Christmas colors, change out one color instead of the whole theme, much less expensive. Wrap different size boxes in wrapping paper and stack for a simple decor idea. It’s amazing what you can do with things that you already have!
My store Designs by Shell has been keeping me busy! New designs can be found on a huge array of products. Come by for a snoop around and get inspired!

Why Are Muslims Attracted to Christianity?
(1) The narrative and instructional power of the Gospels themselves
(2) Dreams and Visions (mentioned here before)
(3) Christian Love, especially as expressed in charitably works
(4) Balanced socialization among the sexes, which by the strength of God's loving grace in our hearts does not (as Muslims fear it would in Islamic contexts) degrade into sexual license
I was most surprised by #3, since I've heard rumors of all the rest in a number of places. But, to hear them speak of it, Muslims never stop giving money to other members of the Ummah--certainly, Saudi Arabia gives millions and millions to build huge mosques in places like Ohio and Italy. Perhaps this giving fails to touch the lives of the truly needy. Hmm. Don't know enough to say.

In this caprese spin on a classic summer side dish, nutrient-packed quinoa is blended with pasta sauce, gooey mozzarella, & fresh basil, stuffed into ripe tomatoes, topped with Parmesan, and baked to perfection!
To say that I am a fan of red, juicy, garden-ripe tomatoes would be an understatement. While I have an arguably black thumb and no garden to call my own, I’m lucky enough to have nearby in-laws with a bountiful garden full of resplendent summer veggies. And my father-in-law happens to be particularly good at growing the best tomatoes this side of anywhere.
When I was pregnant with my daughter a few summers ago, I inhaled a big tomato sandwich for lunch every single day. So it’s probably no coincidence that my daughter loves tomatoes now. My eldest son shares our love of tomatoes as well, and while my hubby and middle son could do without them raw (what’s wrong with those people?!), they do like them cooked. So when we have a plethora of tomatoes to eat up each summer, some of them inevitably find their way into stuffed, baked tomato side dishes.
While the filling I typically concoct consists of some sort of breadcrumb/herb/Parmesan mixture, I thought it would be fun to make these stuffed tomatoes extra healthy today using quinoa. And not only that, but the quinoa is extra tasty because it’s gotten a caprese treatment! If there’s anything I love as much as a garden-fresh, summer tomato, it’s eating that tomato with mozzarella and fresh basil.
So that’s what I did here. To make these beauties, simply take cooked quinoa and blend in some pasta sauce (homemade or your favorite jarred variety works just fine), shredded mozzarella, and ribbons of fresh basil. Stuff it into your hollowed out tomatoes, top with grated Parmesan, and bake until the tomatoes are soft, the cheesy quinoa is gooey, and the Parmesan is golden brown. Fresh, healthy, and delicious!
In fact, this quinoa is so delicious that my tomato-lovin’ 21-month-old whined for a bite while I was putting together the filling. I gave her one…and then she wanted another. And another. So to be perfectly honest, I skimped on filling my last tomato so that I could reserve a small bowl of caprese quinoa for her lunch that day. Hey…if a picky toddler is willing — no, excited! — to eat something nutritious, you go with it.
My daughter may have been my taste tester at lunchtime, but our whole family enjoyed these Caprese Quinoa Stuffed Tomatoes for dinner that night. I think you and yours will love them, too! Not only would anyone be delighted to eat such a lovely summer side dish, but the added bonus is that it’s a nourishing one as well. 😉
More popular quinoa recipes…
…and more popular tomato recipes!

How to combine values, performance and results
When it comes to leadership, helping everyone understand their performance recipe helps put them in control, reduces stress and provides opportunities to learn. Without a connection to values and results, […]
Where's your head at?!
We’ve been thinking a lot about performance recently. Ok, so maybe that’s an obvious statement, so allow us to get more specific. We’ve been thinking about – or really, reminded of - the value and impact of focusing on performance rather than results.

Part 1 of possibly 37
When my Grandmother, Madonna Montran (AKA Donna), passed away in 1976 it was several days before my mother was informed of the death. When she went to Donna’s apartment she found that everything had been removed, the apartment cleaned, and the apartment up for rent already. She was told by the building manager that everything was either trashed or given to the Salvation Army. Well… Not everything.
Apparently, Donna’s friend, Virginia Hagen, saved some of the photos and other documents of Donna’s. Those items were put into a trunk and remained “lost” for over 40 years. Virginia’s daughter inherited the trunk and searched the internet for information on the “nearly famous” vaudeville star, Donna Darling. (Donna Darling was her stage name.) She quickly discovered this blog site and contacted me. She gave me a chance to digitize many of the items. I was able to digitize 357 images. Some of the images are large photographs, others are scrapbook pages with several articles, and several are groupings of thumb-sized photos. Newspaper clippings from the 1920s in contact with acid rich paper don’t do so well over time. Likewise, many of the photos were glued into the albums causing damage. Additionally, because Donna knew who the individuals were, there was no reason to label most of the photos.
I decided to process the collection about 10 images at a time. As I process the images, I hope to identify the people, places, dates, and anything else I can figure out from the images. Some of the images aren’t appropriate for posting to the internet, such as my grandmother’s social security health card. (The word “Medicare” isn’t on it, yet.)
The First 10 Images
The first ten images are a miscellaneous group of loose items. They included:
- Business Card from Amsterdam Hosiery & Gift Shop. There are four sides to this business card, including one side showing birthstones for the various months. I believe this was her ex-husband’s parents shop.
- Blue Cross Blue Shield identification card for Donna Rossberg. I have never understood her Rossberg connection. This card confirms she used the Rossberg name sometimes but I have never found a legal connection (marriage) between Donna and “Red.” Something to investigate sometime.
- A 1970 photo of me holding my son, Matthew. Sadly, the photo is badly damaged.
- A photo of me. I have the same photo in my personal photos and have always thought it was from about 1956. However, Donna’s copy has our Fridley address written on the bask, indicating it was more likely 1958.
- A 1910 photo of Madonna Montran. At the age of 17 Donna had her first professionally done photoshoot. One of those photos became the picture used on the sheet music of “In the Heart of a Fool.” Another photo from that photo shoot is in this first batch of photos. The original has many scrapes, nicks, and creases. I touched up the image slightly to remove the blemishes from the photo (not from her). Without a doubt, you can see how incredibly beautiful she was. Amazing photo is it posted above.
Next is a photo of “Donna on Ocean Liner – Carabean [sic] Sea.” I believe this to be about 1930. Donna and Sammy went to Panama in 1930. While in Panama, Donna met my grandfather. Also, while in Panama Donna and Sammy became estranged. Although they returned on the same ship, they appear on different pages of the manifest and reported living at different addresses. He, his mother’s address in New York and Donna her mother’s address in Detroit.
- Next is a photo of Freddie Braddock that appears to have been taken in San Antonio, Texas in June 1952. I have no idea who this person is nor what his relationship to Donna was. Another thing to investigate.
- A 1954 “Honorable Withdrawal Card” from the Laundry Workers’ International Union. I knew that Donna worked in laundries. I also recall her being very pro-union. She said that the rich get rich by exploiting the poor and that unions curb that exploitation. This card really triggers memories for me. I think I should research the LWIU and learn more about this important aspect of Donna’s later life.
- There were three letters from me. One made me feel bad. It was a letter from me to Donna apologizing for not visiting her when I was in Minneapolis on military leave. I promised her that I’d visit her on my next return home on leave. Sadly, she died before I returned to Minnesota.
- There is a wedding photo of myself and my first wife. I think it is in better condition than the copy that I have.
- My son, Matthew, is the subject of a March 1976 photo. He is on the side of a hill.
- Donna’s Medicare card from 1966.
- A photo of my mother, Sylvia, from Christmas 1970.
- And last, but not least, there is a photo of an unknown man in a vintage automobile. The car has “suicide doors” and odd fold out windows. I don’t know what type of car it is. (But, I’ll bet a car buff could tell me.) I’m thinking it might be Russell Kees (the significant other of Donna, not Donna’s son). I definitely need to do more research in this photo.
So, the first ten images yielded 16 items. Only 247 more images to go. This is going to be fun.
Many thanks to Norma White and to Valerie Lumley for taking care of the collection all these years. Once again, thank you, Norma White, for allowing me to digitize the Donna Darling Collection.
- Search again for Donna’s connection to Red Rossberg. Were they ever married?
- Who was Freddie Braddock and what was his relationship to the family?
- Investigate and research the Laundry Workers’ International Union.
- Determine the kind of car it is (below)? Who is the driver? When might the photo be from?

Digital competence and the use of content has become more crucial than ever for retailers. A strong digital presence enables brands to effectively connect with shoppers, build trust and loyalty and ultimately improve the bottom line. The role of e-commerce, content and social media has changed significantly in recent years, and these tools have created both challenges and opportunities for retailers looking to improve their content use to stay ahead of competitors. Amplience’s Big Content Index (BCI) scores and compares leading brands on their digital content performance, looking at a wide swath of retail brands across sectors. Below is the second installment in Amplience’s BCI blog series, which offers a closer look at the use of content across specific areas of retail. While the first blog highlighted department stores, this piece will dive into athletic wear with a look at Amplience’s findings versus L2’s Digital IQ scores.
Big Content Index
Amplience focused on 16 global athletic brands and considered how well the companies did across five content dimensions: their use of editorial content, rich media, social media, user generated content (UGC) and guided selling. The final BCI score for each brand is a combination of results across all five areas. Amazingly, only the top three brands received a BCI score of more than 50 percent, which indicates significant room for content improvement across athletic brands.
It’s no secret that millennials are fiercely loyal to their favorite “athleisure” brands, with social media proving to be the best way to engage with the millennial generation. Therefore, it’s no surprise that top athletic brand Nike ranked highest in the social media category, scoring an impressive 87 percent. Many other brands, such as Lululemon, Patagonia, Fat Face, Nautica and Sweaty Betty, tied at 80 percent in the category. This indicates that many brands are using social smartly – linking to their channels from the website, posting a good mix of content, and making content shoppable.
Although it’s great to see brands harnessing social media to their advantage, it’s disappointing to see many retailers struggle with rich media and UGC. The average scores of 33 percent and 19 percent respectively are astonishingly low for athletic brands that are new to the market and focused on attracting a young demographic. Among the sampled brands, Under Armour scored the highest in rich media and Lululemon in UGC, whereas The North Face scored the lowest across both categories. While UGC and rich media remain relatively new forms for content use, the tools hold great potential for brands working to better engage with younger users and expand their brand presence across geographies without heavy content investments.
Now let’s take a look at L2’s assessment of the space in their examination of 68 U.S. Activewear brands. L2 found that while athletic brands see ROI in digital marketing, social media, mobile and e-commerce, many frequently lag across benchmarks that could impact sales. For example, the report found that a measly 37 percent of “athleisure” brands post consistently to their social brand pages. Similarly, only 31 percent offer mobile apps that facilitate path to purchase from branded platforms. These statistics point to the wide gap in brands utilizing digital tools to impact their sales and engagement with customers.
L2 scored Nike with the highest Digital IQ score, with The North Face, Under Armour and adidas following closely behind. With a score of 148, Nike was number one for many reasons. The brand successfully curates shoppable looks on its site, uses rich media videos that offer full product menus and supports UGC with its Nike + Run Club mobile application. All of these digital tools help Nike engage with customers via their preferred method of communication and provide customers with a high-level experience across channels.
Athletic retailers Under Armour, The North Face and adidas can also be applauded for their social media strategies. Each brand understands the benefits of social channels and uses them to reach their tech-savvy clientele. The North Face, for example, is even experimenting with emerging social media platforms such as Periscope and Snapchat as a way to fuel customer communication.
On a surprising note, a recent L2 report focused on activewear brands operating in the UK scored adidas higher than Nike in overall Digital IQ rankings. Both, however received the “genius” status. Interestingly enough, Under Armour and The North Face did not score in the genius category in this report, but remained in the top 10 for highest Digital IQ’s.
What’s the big takeaway from our BCI assessment and L2’s Digital IQ of Athletic brands? Brands may be using digital tools to their advantage but they certainly could be doing a better job. While retailers are successfully building their brands from an e-commerce and omnichannel perspective, they are challenged with how to move them forward. Besides powerhouse brands such as Nike, Sweaty Betty and adidas, few smaller brands have overcome the big content and digital challenge. Innovative retailers know that their future success depends on the delivery of a high quality experience, and that means providing rich media content from all appropriate channels. The growing role of content in commerce may pose some challenges and hurdles for brands. However, if retailers can overcome these obstacles there are great rewards and opportunities which cannot be ignored.

Maggie Kerper came to college interested in science, but really developed a passion for the field after taking her first college-level science classes. After transferring to Notre Dame as a sophomore, she decided to find ways to explore science outside of the classroom.
Kerper began working with Laurie Littlepage, Campbell Assistant Professor of Cancer Research in the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry, during the spring of her sophomore year. “I went to an extra credit talk given by Prof. Littlepage and was so impressed and interested in her work. I had no idea cancer research opportunities like this existed on campus,” she explains. “I immediately felt drawn to get involved. I can’t think of any other field that I would feel the sort of gratification and drive to work harder than the cancer field.”

He came, he saw, he studied hard and overcame.
Things were not easy for Dr Ngomu “Akeem” Akilimali – among the many challenges were being French-speaking and a refugee with little money in his pockets.
But at the end of a long and winding road which started in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), he made it to UKZN’s College of Health Sciences Graduation ceremony where he received a Doctor of Philosophy in Health Sciences (Immunology) degree.
Akilimali says he vividly remembers spending entire Saturdays in the library reading his Biology textbook and each day only getting through two pages as he had to constantly refer to a French-English dictionary. Then it was back to his room to face the reality of having no food.
‘I am grateful to all the good people who helped me along the way. Studying at UKZN ended up being a wonderful experience – a battle worth fighting.’
He made special mention of Ms Jenny Kerchhoff at the Language Centre on the Pietermaritzburg campus; Professor Colleen Downs of the School of Biology and Conservational Sciences, who provided him with a job which enabled him to buy food; his MSc supervisor Dr Victoria Kasprowicz, who coached him on how to write, and his PhD supervisor Professor Thumbi Ndung’u, who ‘taught me most of the science I know,’ he said.
Akilimali and his family fled the DRC for South Africa because of violence there. This was a setback for him as he had to abandon his Geology studies which he was half way through. At UKZN he pursued a Bachelor of Science majoring in Genetics which he still enjoys as a post-doctoral Fellow at the Africa Health Research Institute (AHRI).
His PhD study examined the Immunopathogenesis of Cryptococcosis-Associated Immune Reconstitution Inflammatory Syndrome (C-IRIS). This is a paradoxical clinical deterioration experienced by some patients with HIV-associated Cryptococcal-meningitis (CM) upon initiating antiretroviral treatment (ART). This is despite the fact that these patients are demonstrating signs of HIV clinical improvement such as the rise in CD4 count and decreases in HIV viral load. In hospitals around Durban it has been estimated that around 7.3% of these patients will die within two days of admission.
The study aimed to identify biomarkers (measurable substances) that may discriminate the patient at risk of C-IRIS before initiation of ART treatment, suggest mechanisms of C-IRIS immunopathogenesis and point to possible clinical intervention in C-IRIS.
These findings have the potential to improve clinical interventions and lead to better diagnosis of this condition.

Video: Hear from Bill Gates, Jemima Khan and other key donors, supporters and campaigners at the vaccine summit
13 June: British aid to vaccinate a child every two seconds
UK aid will help vaccinate a child in the developing world every two seconds for the next five years, the Prime Minister announced today.
Over 80 million under-fives living in some of the poorest countries in the world will be vaccinated against killer diseases like pneumonia and diarrhoea with the help of British aid as part of a broader collective effort.
Opening a four-hour push to save lives hosted by David Cameron, Ellen Johnson-Sirleaf (President of Liberia) and Bill Gates (Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation), the Prime Minister called on other donors to dig deep in order to reach the target of vaccinating at least a quarter of a billion children in the next five years in order to save the lives of four million children.

9 June: Government hosts business breakfast to boost vaccines
Andrew Mitchell and George Osborne today called on businesses to join the drive to immunise 250 million children in the developing world against childhood diseases.
At a breakfast in Downing Street, businesses were invited to join the GAVI Matching Fund for Immunisation, a three-way matching programme which aims to attract funding from corporations, and from their customers or employees.
The meeting was attended by leading global mining company Anglo American and charitable foundation Absolute Return for Kids (ARK), both of whom made pledges to GAVI to fund immunisations.
The UK Government will match donations to an agreed limit, potentially raising £100 million over the next five years to pay for vaccinations for children against diseases including pneumonia, Hepatitis B and rotavirus, which causes potentially fatal diarrhoea.
Read the full press release
UK drives global push to vaccinate 250 million children
The British Government is spearheading a global effort to vaccinate a quarter of a billion children by 2015. The drive is set to save the lives of four million children across the developing world.
In partnership with the Global Alliance for Vaccines and Immunisation, the government is co-hosting a vaccine summit on Monday 13 June, calling on international partners to join the UK and donate to its cause.
The Global Alliance for Vaccines and Immunisation - known as the GAVI Alliance - is a health partnership set up to increase access to immunisation in the world’s poorest countries. Since 2000, the GAVI Alliance has helped vaccinate over 288 million children in 72 developing countries and saved more than five million lives.
Representatives from donor countries, developing nations, philanthropic organisations, civil society and vaccine manufacturers will come together at the summit to make the contributions needed to roll out vaccines which will protect against the two biggest killers of small children - pneumonia and diarrhoeal disease.
The UK is prepared to significantly step up its contribution to the GAVI Alliance, but needs other donors to do the same to meet the funding challenge and make sure hundreds of millions of children get the vaccinations they need.
Development Secretary Andrew Mitchell, who is chairing the event, said:
“For the price of a cup of coffee you can vaccinate a child against five of the major childhood killers.
“Every day the lives of 7,000 children are saved by vaccines. Vaccinations are proof positive that well spent aid save lives. They are one of the best and most cost effective health interventions that money can buy.”

This term in English our generative topic is Community Helpers. As part of this unit, we have been exploring the role of people who help us, including, doctors, nurses, vets, farmers, police officers and fire fighters. Our focus has been on discussing their role within our community, including what they do, what they wear and how they help us. During our weekly show and tell presentations, we have enjoyed listening to our peers discussing their favourite community helper. It has been interesting to explore the different types of uniform each community helper wears.
This week, Club Funk co-ordinator, Kim Mills, visited Prep. She spoke to us about her role as a dance instructor within our A.B. Paterson College community. After her talk, we all enjoyed participating in some groovy Club Funk dance moves.
Next week, we are also very lucky to have the local fire brigade visit us. We will be listening to them discuss fire safety and then have the chance to explore some of their equipment. We are all very excited for this!
It has been a fantastic term in Prep! We enjoyed sharing our learning from this unit with our parents at the recent Learning Journey.

1UP: "Some say I've been lazy," admits the King of All Cosmos in the opening sequence of Touch My Katamari. "Phoning it in." This is meant to be hilarious -- that crazy King, always so pompous, yet vain enough to be stung by criticism! -- but the wittiness of the whole thing is badly undermined by the fact that Touch My Katamari is lazy. Namco is, in fact, phoning it in.

Patchwork’s contribution to the evening was the world premiere of Osnat Netzer’s Zwang und Zweifel, which shows the discombobulated pain of choosing between two terrible life options, either of which will rip you apart. Noa Even’s tenor sax and Stephen Klunk’s drumset are the right brand of funky noise for these distressing feelings. Netzer’s use of a huge range of extended techniques for both players — pops, rolls, whistles, and slams — grinds through many powerful timbres to create the desired tormented, rigid chaos.

If you missed my first post about the collage around the room activity, you can find that here.
- Just like my drawing game, I went ahead and updated my collage cards to match the word wall format. As soon as we were done with the cards at the tables (2 days) I put one set on the cupboards of the collage center. Usually I just put the center posters on the upper cupboards, but running out of room I realized that my lower cupboards are easily seen by the kids sitting at the nearby tables, so it makes a good space for these.
- Slightly different paper media choices. Last year I had colored paper and “scrapbook paper” as seperate media boxes, but the kids got confused since they were so similar in texture and thickness. So I combined them and just called that box “colored paper.”
- Kids love collage! Having the whole room doing collage makes for a much more active and noisy room. Lots of kids standing, sharing choices and supplies, laughing, talking and mess, noise, mess, noise. Kids putting glue on their hands, putting TOO much glue on papers, things getting stuck to each other. Wait a minute, do I file this under good or bad? It’s a little of both. I laughed quite a few times this week, but was exhausted by the end.
- Not really bad necessarily, but I added a “mixed media” box and put out my boxes of ribbon, trim, and fancy tapes and this presented some new challenges. They went crazy for this table! But wow, the resulting collages are very bulky and 3 dimensional. So I think I might ditch that box next year. Plus they weren’t very thoughtful with it and just blobbed stuff on. However, there was some good problem solving for figuring out how to cut and attach these more unusual items. These were stored in small plastic drawers which are now a super disaster. Not sure if I will bother cleaning these, or let someone else take responsibility later.
- Trying to write the vocab on the back of the worksheet after some gluing has happened is difficult. A few kids figured out this would be a problem ahead of time and walked around to get all the vocab first. Others got so involved with the front part that they completed forgot about the back and turned it in without doing the vocab at all. I don’t want to remove the vocab portion because I like the more active way to get some vocab, rather than the just sit and copy from a book or projection. Plus I really do want them demonstrating the words in the collages. Clearly the kids that didn’t write the words, also didn’t use the concepts or techniques. Not sure if I need to do any changes, because the few that didn’t get it are the same kids that would not follow directions in any other version I might do.
- I don’t think I will include the mixed media table. I might need to reduce the number of vocab cards and make the boxes side by side like I did the drawing game so the words don’t get forgotten.

My wife and I recently moved our home, auto, and life policies to Patrick O’Brien / American Family, and we have been impressed with their customer service and professionalism. My wife was involved in a collision last week, and they quickly took care of her claim, arranged for repairs, and put her in a rental car. Tom Coverdale was awesome to work with as well. I highly recommend.
Review Rating: 5.0
CUSTOMER THANK YOU TEXT
October 23, 2015
Thanks again for your insight with my situation. I can’t begin to tell you how refreshing you and Tom’s approach to your client’s care. You are up front and honest with your products which is why you have my business.
Thanks again for your time today.
CUSTOMER THANK YOU EMAIL
Sent: Thursday, February 05, 2015 1:58 PM
Subject: Re: Remodel / home policy
Thank you both for reviewing our updates on the Fishers home. This has been on my to do list for some time and is a relief to have all under your care.
Appreciate all you do. Don and I continue to be pleased with our American Family…family!
CUSTOMER THANK YOU NOTE
I would be remiss if I didn’t take this opportunity to thank you , Shannon and AM FAM Claims Adjuster – Doug Lawler for making us (i.e., The Pino Family) feel so comforted and worry free during the handling of our most recent auto claim. From your initial inquiry at 9:19 PM last night, followed by Shannon’s and your e-mail follow-up this morning – WOW … now that’s some excellent customer service. Then to put it over the top, we were fortunate enough to receive awesome claims adjusting services from Doug Lawler. He was extremely prompt, thorough and professional throughout the entire process! I feel so lucky as well as blessed to have you as my Insurance Agent, Shannon as our CSR and Doug as our Claims Adjuster. When my son’s car was struck by that deer last night, I knew we would be handled with extreme professionalism … but you three (3) are the Poster Child for demonstrating Superior Customer Service!! If there were a Golden Globe or an Oscar Award available for Insurance personnel, “y’all” would have it in the bag! Thanks for being so caring, supportive and encouraging to us. Our family is very happy with and appreciative of the AM FAM family, and are so glad to be a part of this pleasant experience during such a difficult situation.

PEACE OF MIND
We had a client arrive for a Personal Insurance Review to go over all of her coverages. She asked to see a summary of her scheduled jewelry (high value jewelry added to a home owner policy in order to have it covered). Upon review, NONE of her jewelry was scheduled. We were able to quickly update her policy to include the schedules (listed) jewelry and she left with peace of mind.
The take away: Most policies only cover $1,500 per jewelry item. Hypothetically if you lost a $10,000 engagement/wedding ring that was not scheduled on your homeowner’s policy, and you called to file a claim, you would be asked to pay your deductible and you would only be compensated $1,500 for the lost ring.
AUTO RATE CUT IN HALF
Shannon recently spoke with a client by phone who called to add a new vehicle to his coverage. While Shannon was reviewing all of his coverage, she discovered the customer’s 20+ year old son was still listed as a driver on one of his vehicles. When Shannon asked about the son, the client confirmed the son had moved out of the home and was not driving the vehicle. By removing the clients son as a driver on his vehicle, we were able to cut his rates in half!
The take away: #1 – Every year you should review your policies with your insurance agent and staff so they can ask the proper questions to determine if you are covered correctly. #2 – Whenever there is a change in your household regarding who is living with you and driving the vehicles you have insured, contact your agent to update your policies. You could be missing out on savings!
A POTENTIALLY LARGE EXPENSE AVOIDED
A client met with us and realized that his 17 year old daughter was not listed as a driver on any of his vehicles! She has had her license for almost a full year!!!!
The take away: If the daughter had been in an accident, that accident would not have been covered by insurance because she was not listed as a driver on the vehicle. It would be costly for the client if there was an accident in which the daughter was driving should there need to be repairs to the vehicle or if it the vehicle was totaled.

The Indy 500 was run last Sunday and what a race it was! So unpredictable right to the end. If only it wasn’t on at a stupid hour in the morning over here so I could watch the whole thing live. Anyway, here are the many alternate and one-off liveries from the 500!
A.J. Foyt Enterprises
#35 Alex Tagliani
Not much to say about this one. Mainly black, with a red section along the side that increases in size from front to back. Some nice red flashes here and there, but then there are orange ones too which shouldn’t really be there.
#26 Carlos Muñoz
A far better effort than the usual empty livery. Completely different colours in black and light blue, which go very well together. Interesting design that features a yolk over the cockpit which ends just before the nose number and goes toward the rear. It also juts out and carries along the top of the sidepods. The blue and black are split by a thin white pinstripe. He still has the Colombian flag on the front wing end plates, which surprisingly doesn’t match as well as on the other livery. Nice overall and gives and the colour scheme gives off a NEXTEV feel.
#29 Townsend Bell
This livery is odd. We have bright yellow on the top half, light grey on the sidepods and a blue stripey textured section on the side of the nose and front portion of the sidepods. A really odd choice of colours, seemingly due to the sponsors, but surely there was a better way to lay them out? As proven by HAAS F1, white would have worked better than light grey and the thin red lines separating all the colours only adds another colour to the already overflowing palette.
The very front of the nose, where the blue fades into the white on top is actually quite nice and if the livery was based around that, it would achieve a much higher rating. As it is, it looks like three liveries mashed into one and doesn’t work.
Andretti Herta Autosport
#98 Alexander Rossi
What a story! A rookie winning the 500. Absolutely awesome. The livery wasn’t half bad either. Nice blue and yellow combo in the usual Andretti design, although the black Castrol section doesn’t work as well as it did on the black and white livery.
Dale Coyne Racing
#18 Conor Daly
As patriotic livery as you could expect for an Indy 500! The same great design as the other DCR cars, but with the added twist of an american flag fill on the nose and engine cover. As cheesy as it is, it works pretty well.
The downsides for me start at the different shades of blue, which don’t seem to match. Considering how well the greens on the other car work, I thought they’d manage to make it work on this one too. Secondly, apart from the reds on the flag and elsewhere not exactly matching either, the flag design is placed on the car oddly, so it looks like it cuts into the normal red lines. Perhaps its just how it was done on this occasion and looks a little better here, but it’s a little off putting. Still appealing overall, without looking too closely at the details.
Also has to be noted that Daly’s usual livery was seemingly transferred to Brian Clauson.
#63 Pippa Mann
A little cliche perhaps to see the only woman in the field in a pink car, but the main sponsor in a breast cancer organisation is a great cause, so I can’t fault the choice. It’s actually a little refreshing to see this colour, since it’s very rare to see pink in any form of motorsport. The design is the same as the other Coyne cars, but is a little empty on the engine cover.
Dreyer & Reinbold Racing
#24 Sage Karam
This reminds me a lot of Pagenaud’s HP livery. Similar design with similar colours although you can’t confuse the big GasMonkey logo on the sidpod. Quite basic, surely they could have put a little more of that green on the car to help it stand out a bit more?
Ed Carpenter Racing
#6 J.R. Hildebrand
Not too plain for a white car. The dark blue accents look nice against the bright white, especially on the wings. The line along the nose is actually the same design as on Carpenter’s car, but works better with this colour combo and no outline. Really liking that shade of slightly metallic blue.
#21 Josef Newgarden
This is the same design as Hildebrand’s car with the colours inverted and a few different sponsors. Looks just as good, although I think the dark accents on the light background work a little better. Perhaps white wings could have completed the look.
#25 Stefan Wilson
This one is a little strange. Too many colours that don’t match I’m afraid. Yellow, orange, green and blue all on the same car? You’d be hard pressed to find a livery designer to make those look good, especially in those shades. The design itself isn’t groundbreaking, but feels kind of traditional IndyCar in a way (if you disregard the colours). Just unusual and unpleasant.
Lazier Burns Racing
#4 Buddy Lazier
A low key effort here. Mainly white with some bright red along the bottom half, sweeping onto the nose and the rear wing. It has a black pinstripe following that section, as well as some yellow on the mirrors and T-cam. Kinda forgettable.
PIRTEK Team Murray
#61 Matthew Brabham
Pirtek often lends itself to great liveries and this one is up there. IT’s a dark blue with black on the top, split nicely with a darker shade of red than I’d usually expect from a Pirtek livery. It’s simple, clean, has some nice colour trimming on the endplates and mirrors and is generally pleasing to look at. Missing something to make it incredible, but a very good effort nonetheless.
Rahal Letterman Lanigan Racing
#16 Spencer Pigot
I like this colour combination, as I’ve mentioned before when referring to earlier Hunter-Reay DHL liveries. This one is simple, but it’s a pleasant yellow and split nicely from the white with a thin black line. May have looked nicer if the white section had gone all the way behind the cockpit rather than cut through it, but overall it’s a simple, neat livery.
Schmidt Peterson Motorsport
#7 Mikhail Aleshin
How many video game sponsored liveries have there been in world motorsport? Can’t name any off the top of my head, so it’s pretty neat to see SPM pull sponsorship from the new Doom game, the original of which I spent many hours on. It’s mostly black, and features a character surrounded by explosions in front of and surrounding the cockpit. I’ve never been a big fan of “images” being stuck on a car, but it doesn’t look so bad here.
I do wish they’d used a yellow or amber instead of red for the accents, to match the explosions for some colour. The rest is black and a little empty, and could have probably used a little more of that yellow/orange in one form or another.
#77 Oriol Servià
Well this is a bit of a lazy effort. Plain white with sponsors in multiple colours. A bit of uniformity would have gone a long way on this one. Ugh.
#3 Hélio Castroneves
This is an identical livery to Pagenaud’s Menards livery, but with a different sponsor in Pennzoil, and a far more natural yellow. This is in fact a brilliant throwback to Rick Mears’ Penske machines that ran in the 1983 Indy 500. I’ve gone over the design before, but this colour takes it it another level. Really classy and despite taking its inspiration from a car three decades old, has been transferred to this a modern day IndyCar brilliantly.

DETROIT — Violin-led rock music and tom-tom drums—unlikely fanfare—highlighted the introductions of new Cadillac and Chrysler Group models on the second press preview day at the 2007 North American International Auto Show in Detroit.
The violins belonged to a highly energized rock/dance pair of young men who did the warm-up preceding Cadillac's unveiling of its completely restyled CTS for 2008. Whirling in coordinated movements, the dancing pair maintained their musical discipline, stroking their instruments in short frantic bursts in perfect rhythm with their recorded backup.
Minutes later, at the Chrysler stand, the all-drum group Africa performed an ear-blasting opening piece as the introduction of Chrysler's Nassau and Jeep's Tomahawk concept vehicles. Africa's lead dancer enticed the 400 seated journalists—each furnished with a small, hourglass-shaped drum—to join in. And they did. Result: The audio bedlam and the level of fun garnered high ratings.
Security is visibly more intense this year, and especially noticeable at the GM and Ford press events. GM beefed up its bodyguard contingent at the CTS display. It was an obvious attempt to prevent a reoccurrence of its Los Angeles Auto Show experience. At L.A. in November, Chairman Rick Wagoner was surprised at the speaker's podium (listen to audio) by a covey of green activists posing as newsmen who burst announced on the stage. That didn't happen this time.
"We heard they also had press passes to the Detroit Show too," one GM insider told Popular Mechanics. "So we put on some extra (security) bodies."
At the Ford events, it seemed even more difficult to gain entry this year. There was a three-tier gauntlet for the attending journalists: First split the waiting line to separate out bag holders; second, show picture ID to screeners; finally, flash wrist band and event pass to door checkers. Ford even checked all bags individually for contraband (water bottles?).
Embarrassing glitch at the Mazda display (again): The retractable roof on the MX-5 model balked at folding down into a stowed position during two demonstrations for a curious journalist. —Jim Dunne

I used a thread called Very Velvet and used a chenille needle to accommodate the thickness of the thread.
After forming the "X" bring your needle up above it, in the middle as shown.
Form a loop with your thread now, taking your needle over the first part of the loop and under the second side. Please refer to the photo below to see what I mean about the placement of the needle.
Using your thumb to hold the loop in place take your needle under the center of the cross stitch from top to bottom. Make sure the loop is under the tip of your needle.
Pull the thread through and it will form a small knot over the center of the "X".
Take your needle down below the center of the "X" as shown and the first stitch is done. Bring the needle up again as close as possible to the top right hand portion of the "X" and you are in position to start the next stitch.

What does this analysis do?
This analysis gives insight into the numerical distribution of units for current, temperature, voltage etc. in your patent pool.
How does it work?
Unit analyses search within the patent texts for symbols expressing units related to a preselected parameter (size, temperature, pressure, current, voltage, frequency or power). The output unit can be preselected in the configuration screen. Every found number will be converted to the preselected output unit. Additional options are available for fine-tuning the search within certain parts of the patent text, defining the scale of the visualization (logarithmic or linear) and defining a custom range of values you want to search for.
How to operate the results?
The results will be displayed as a histogram, indicating the number of patents within a certain unit range.
Browse through the patents of an appropriate range by clicking on the corresponding bar.
What does it tell me?
You can learn which unit range is most common for a selected parameter and technology. You can also quickly select the range of values that you are interested in.

- Brian Donaldson
- 18 September 2008
Brian Donaldson peers into the autumn drama and comedy schedules to find string-vested philosophers, Burns-recital champions and flesh-eating zombies
Britain is in utter chaos. The dead have returned to life and are attacking the living who, once deceased, then get up and do some more killing. The only people unaware of this horrendous phenomenon are the occupants of the Big Brother household. But not for long … Don’t worry, this isn’t the credit crunch’s worst case scenario, it’s only the synopsis for a new telly show. Having sat through acres of small screen sewage, Guardian TV critic and Nathan Barley co-creator Charlie Brooker has let his imagination gambol free for Dead Set (E4), a zombie comedy-drama starring Ray’s little girl, Jaime Winstone, and featuring a swathe of cameos including, obviously, Davina McCall.
The Four drama slate gets some heavyweight history action going on with Sideways man Paul Giamatti in the title role of John Adams (More4), an epic seven-parter about the man who was elected as America’s first vice president and second president while The Devil’s Whore (Channel 4) features the English Civil War seen through the eyes of a spirited anti-monarchist aristocrat. Andrea Riseborough, John Simm, Peter Capaldi and Dominic The Wire West star.
Over on ITV, they’re keeping it contemporary with Wired (ITV1) a fast-paced thriller set in the murky world of bank fraud and starring Laurence Fox, Toby Stephens and Charlie Brooks (EastEnders’ nasty Janine). Brooks’ fellow ex-Albert Square pal Michelle Ryan chucks off the shackles of the awful Bionic Woman to play a lass whose love life is ruled by her obsession with numbers in Mr Eleven (ITV1). The Beeb, meanwhile, are going for their standard mix of classic adaptations and modern dramas. Little Dorrit (BBC1) is the latest Andrew Davies affair, starring Tom Courtenay, James Fleet and Emma Pierson while the 1970s Terry Nation series Survivors (BBC1) is resurrected in a 21st century post-apocalyptic setting with Max Beesley and Freema Agyeman trying to stay alive. Moses Jones (BBC2) begins with a wave of violence hitting London after the discovery of a bizarrely mutilated body. Suggestions of witchcraft are soon set to one side as the dark reality dawns.
Chances are you might need a bit of a laugh after all that death and devastation, so the return of Govan’s ‘prodigal bastard’ Rab C Nesbitt (BBC2) for a one-off special can only be welcomed while a new type of Glaswegian mirth-maker arrives when Limmy’s Show (BBC2) has the internet sensation getting his weird characters and mad sketches on the box. No Holds Bard (BBC2) has Ashley Jensen and Bill Paterson preparing to vie for the 2009 Cup O’Kindness, the trophy awarded to the Burns recital champion.
But if you’re after blockbuster British comedy names, Matt Lucas and David Walliams give us Little Britain USA (BBC1) fresh from its American airing with new characters such as astronaut Bing Gordyn, a spaniel called Mr Doggy and cute little pottymouth Ellie-Grace. And whether Peter Kay’s new Channel 4 show is any good or not hardly matters as it has the most arresting title of this or any other year: Britain’s Got the Pop Factor and Possibly a New Celebrity Jesus Christ Soapstar Superstar Strictly on Ice.

Lord, help us to be faithful in the little things in our daily lives so
that we can then be trusted with the big.
Show us clearly what You would have us do today.
Give us the grace necessary to be obedient to You...even when it is
May we keep in mind that we are to be faithful...but that the success
of it is up to You.

Hondo’s Indians were nipped by the Mets on Friday night, but that damage was largely offset when the Twins broke their 2016 maiden to put the earnings at 236 charboneaus.
Saturday: Even though Harvey has been tinkling with his motion, Mr. Aitch expects Cleveland to hose the Metamucil ace — 20 units on Tomlin.
The jersey Mike Piazza wore when he hit the dramatic HR in the Mets’ first game after 9/11 has been bought back by several fans who want it displayed at the 9/11 Museum, the Hall of Fame and Citi Field. They better order up tight security when it’s at Citi Field; otherwise the Wilponzies will try to get their mitts on it and sell it again. … From emailer Donny Mac: The story about the ninth grade girls at a school in Des Moines hiring a male stripper last Friday for their swimming club’s annual event, already is having far-reaching effects. Word is NYC’s prestigious Stuyvesant High School — home of “Slutty Wednesday” — soon will start up “Stripper Friday.” … Chipotle has been advised to open up some drive-thru restaurants to increase revenue, which seems like a good idea. It will be interesting for their daring customers to see what’s quicker, the drive-thru or the burrito flow-thru.

This is the most common kind of arthritis and many of the millions of people that suffer from it find that chiropractors are a great help. The chiropractic treatment for osteoarthritis might include manual therapy, joint manipulation, and manipulation of the spine and soft tissue. All of these treatments will effectively try to reduce the amount of swelling in the joints and reducing or eliminating the pain the patient feels.
It’s important to remember that chiropractors don’t necessarily treat specific conditions or disorders, but that they treat people. This means that they will work with their patients to find a way that they can live a pain-free life, with treatment that is not invasive and that does not require any medication. Because each patient’s case and situation will be different, treatment will be too and a good chiropractor will work with you to diagnose what the problem is, and then decide with you what the best course of treatment is for you.
Many people also wonder about whether or not they can see a chiropractor while they’re pregnant. Either they were seeing one before they became pregnant, or all the aches and pains of pregnancy are simply becoming too much to take, and the new mum needs a natural form of pain relief. It is completely safe to see a chiropractor during pregnancy and is actually one of the best forms of treatment an expecting woman can use because it does not involve drugs or anything that could be harmful to the baby.
There are also several chiropractors who specialize in the care of pregnant women and their children, so you can be sure that you’re getting a chiropractor who is very trained and experienced at what they’re doing. Children can also benefit from seeing a chiropractor when they have a sport injury or when they are suffering from chronic pain. Chiropractic treatment is often sought for children because it is a drug-free form of treatment.
If you’re thinking about whether or not you should see a chiropractor, you should first focus on the area of pain. Chiropractors tend to deal with joint, spine, neck, and nerve pain. Their treatment methods encompass a great deal of conditions and can help with many things. If you are in pain and think a chiropractor could help, ask your doctor if they think so too. Like it was said before, a good doctor won’t hesitate to refer you onto a good chiropractor if they think it will help.

Last night I attended the opening of the new and fabulous Iqra Library in Muharaq, opposite the Shaikh Ebrahim bin Mohammed Al Khalifa Center for Culture & Research.
The library – in addition to being stunningly beautiful – will serve as a reading house for young people and children between 6 and 12, a more than welcome move and one that surely will have an impact on encouraging the young ones to pick a book up and read.
The interior design is simple, contemporary yet grounded in tradition. There is the actual library, the computer hallway, and the gallery hall. It makes perfect use of a small space with calm and soothing decor.
The Arabic word Iqra means 'read'. And intrinsically it was the very first word that from the Koran that was delivered to Prophet Mohammed (PbuH), signifying the importance of reading and how celebrated it is in Isalm.
It will certainly be interesting to see how this library progressed and what sort of response it will get and the various programmes and activities it will introduce. Meanwhile though, I suggest you go down and visit it – and don't forget to take the kids with you!

How to Have the Perfect Baby Boy Invitations
Baby boy invitations are the first thing you'll need to share the good news of the new arrival with all your friends. It's time to celebrate and baby showers are the perfect way to express love and thoughtfulness to the mother and baby to be.
Perfect baby boy shower invites are essential to planning successful baby showers for a boy. Consider ordering baby shower invitations online for timesaving convenience. You can find a cute, funny, or sentimental baby boy shower invitation easily.
There are many things to consider when designing baby shower invitations for a boy: style, theme, and important baby shower information. You'll want to include details about the mother's preferences, such as nursery colors and decor, and if the mother has any specific needs. For instance, maybe she's inherited a crib from her family, but really needs a stroller.
Also, be sure to list where the mother is registered for baby shower gifts, and if she doesn't have a baby registry, encourage her to do so.
Baby shower invitations for boys can come in all sorts of styles, ranging from playful to traditional. For a real keepsake, opt for baby shower boy invitations with a photo. Some excellent choices are a picture of the expectant mother, or perhaps the expectant mother and father, a picture of the newborn if the baby shower is planned after the birth, or the newborn and mother. Choose the one that works best for you. Scrapbookking is a popular hobby today, and your baby boy shower invitations will likely be a treasured memory for the family for years to come.
Now, what information should you include on the baby boy shower invites? After you have chosen the style for the invitations, you need to add the important details of where and when. Be sure to pick a time and place that is best for the mother.
When baby showers take place before the birth, it's best to plan them at least two months in advance. This allows for the occasional unexpected early deliveries and gives the mother time to arrange and organize all of her new things before the heaviest and hardest part of her pregnancy. Remember, mom needs lots of time to rest and adjust to all of the new changes.
If the baby shower is taking place after the delivery, you want to plan the baby shower for at least 4-6 weeks after. This gives mother and baby time to adjust to their new routines before being the center of attention at a big event such as the baby shower. Baby showers given after the birth have an advantage because the name and sex of the baby are known for sure. This makes baby shower gift giving more personalized and even simpler for the mother by saving her time, sparing her from needing to make unwanted exchanges.
Think of how many baby shower or other type of invitations will be needed in your lifetime! Take out the middleman and do it yourself to add your own unique style and ensure it's done on time and done right the first time.
A final tip: proofread thoroughly before the final print of the baby shower invitations for a boy to make sure that all of the information on the invitations is accurate. Names, dates, addresses, and phone numbers need to be spelled correctly.
Baby showers are a fun and delightful way to honor your sister, neighbor, co-worker or friend. This is your special gift to them. A baby shower invitation is only the beginning to planning the best baby shower and making the baby shower a memorable occasion for all the participants.

For my C4K #5 I was assigned to Kayla's blog in Mrs. Byrne's class. The post that I read was titled Miners in Chile. Kayla provided plenty of facts regarding the terrible accident that occured in Chile. She also posted some pictures of the rescue as well as where Chile is located on a map. In my comment to Kayla I told her that she did a great job providing facts and that I also learned a few things about the incident that I didn't previously know. I also told her that she did a good job with the pictures and that pictures always add a little something extra to a post.
For C4K #6 I was assigned to Pipita's blog in GSandler's class. His post was titled The Blog. Pipita talked about how much he enjoyed the class blog and contributing to it. In my comment to Pipita I said that his post encouraged me to have a class blog in my future class and that I am glad he enjoys his blog.
For C4K #7 I was assigned to Quossay's blog in Ms. Naugle's fourth grade math class. Quossay did not have any posts so I chose another student in that class, Kylie. Her post was on her trip to the fair. She described the experience very well. She talked about everything from listening to her friend's ipod on the bus ride to the animals she saw at the petting zoo. In my comment to Kylie I encouraged her to keep blogging and told her she did a great job describing her experience.

Even though The Mindy Project has moved platforms from FOX to Hulu, it doesn’t mean it’s not the same witty and heartfelt show we’ve grown to love. On the plus side, we get 5 additional minutes to every episode!
The episode starts off exactly where the Season 3 finale ended: with Danny arriving at where Mindy’s parents are staying in India. He professes his love for Mindy to the man he assumes to be Mindy’s father, but it’s actually just the servant of the house. When he then meets the real Mr. Lahiri (Ajay Mehta), he becomes intimidated and makes the excuse that he’s only in India to sight-see.
Meanwhile, Mindy ends her call with Morgan (if you remember, they were talking about Danny not having gotten to the wedding from last season) terrified that Danny’s ditched her to go be with another woman.
Before she gets into bed, she wishes that she had fallen in love with someone else.
Cue: dream sequence and incredible guest star Joseph Gordon-Levitt.
Mindy wakes up to a life where she’s married to Matt Sherman, an extremely attractive and wealthy producer of The Real Housewives, that she met on her flight to LA (the one where Danny finally kissed Mindy and we all burst into tears while rewatching it 1000 times). They’ve been together since they had sex in the airplane restroom.
Mindy still works at Schulman and Associates, but her relationship with Danny is pretty much the same as Season 1’s, or in Dream Danny’s words, “Bad. Frosty, hostile, did I say bad?”
When Mindy finds out that she’s been cheating on her Dream husband with Dr. Brendan Deslaurier, she decides to come clean. Much to her surprise, she hasn’t been the only one cheating. Her relationship with Matt is an open one.
Out of desperation, Mindy seeks Danny out, only to find him on a date with Freida Pinto. After she won’t leave, Mindy announces to the restaurant that she’s pregnant with Danny’s baby.
Although Mindy’s still in her dream-world, Danny’s in the real life. After he meets Mindy’s aspiring-Bollywood-actress mother (House of Cards‘ Sakina Jaffrey), they present him with the news that they’re planning an arranged marriage for Mindy. Yikes.
In a quite cowardly move, Danny goes along with it instead of just speaking up. He’s rejected all the men in the binder Mindy’s parents have created when Morgan shows up. Morgan’s so furious that Danny won’t propose to Mindy that he goes ahead and invites one of the men, Sendhil (played by Kunal Nayyar of The Big Bang Theory), from the binder to come over.
Danny gets so worked up at listening to how perfect Sendhil is for Mindy that he finally confesses that he’s the father of Mindy’s baby, but he doesn’t exactly want to propose to her.
When Sendhil hears that Mindy’s pregnant, he gets angry at Morgan for lying to him and says he wanted a “lemon.” Both of Mindy’s parents are appalled that he would compare Mindy to a fruit that they band together and explain why she’s turned out to be so great and successful and that’s because they are.
When Danny sees how much they care about each other and how they support each other, it opens something in him. Mindy’s parents tell him that as long as he goes and takes care of their daughter, they’re alright with him. He just has to stop worrying so much about the relationship and actually just enjoy it. He can call it whatever he wants to.
Going back to Mindy’s dream sequence, she and Danny are now both outside of the restaurant in the rain. As Mindy’s asking him why he didn’t get out of his seat and kiss her on the plane, we see clips of what happened in the real world. Matt walked out of the restroom to see Danny and Mindy kissing. Danny was afraid that Mindy would eventually cheat on him in the same way she does with Matt. She kisses him in an attempt to show him that they’re meant to be together, but he pushes her away. He then very passionately kisses her again, but stops himself. As he’s walking across the street, trying to get away, Mindy’s yelling at him that she wants him…and then gets hit by a bus.
Mindy wakes up in the real world to find Danny at her bedside. They both agree that they just want to be together, married or not.
But Danny’s had a change of heart. After seeing how much Mindy’s parents still love each other after 40 years and after having an arranged marriage, it’s given him hope that maybe not all marriages end badly.
And so, he proposes to Mindy and she accepts.
I typed this very simply, but believe me, I had tears in my eyes.
- Even with the simple recap at the beginning of the episode, I had forgotten how much I liked to look at Chris Messina’s face. Whoa.
- I like that in her dream sequence, Mindy wakes up with her face glowing with makeup.
- “You hungry, babe?” “Yes, always.” I am Mindy. Mindy is me.
- For some reason, Morgan’s reason for being in a wheelchair is hilarious to me.
- Mindy has a Bart Simpson tattoo? Where?!
- “Is it the ‘Big Book of American Losers?’ I’m on page 275.” – Morgan
- “Ugh these chips are terrible!” “Oh, babe, that’s a bowl of seashells.” – Mindy and Matt
- “It was like It’s a Wonderful Life, but it was in color and it wasn’t boring.” – Mindy

Wow, that is sobering news. I will be available to talk anytime so just give me a call.
My first reaction is 100% against doing the full replacement. I don't see that getting him 5 more years is worth the risk of surgery.
About 15 minutes before I opened the e-mail from Mary I was watching the news and they were doing a story on Iraqi war vets who had injuries that would require 100% 24/7/365 skilled nursing care and I told wife-Mary that if I were ever in that situation from a car wreck, bike mishap, etc, that she should not let me live like that (I am telling you, my sisters, that too- save this e-mail). If it come to a decision to pull the plug or let me live like that, then pull the plug.
I guess this means that I would be infavor of not doing surgery and putting it in God's hands. However, if you all did not agree with that I can CERTAINLY understand that and would support you 100%.
I think that we should give Aunt Rita's views a lot of weight, but I don't think that we should burden her with the responsibiity of making the decision for us.
She is the only one of us who knows what it is like to be of that age and her perspective is unique.
From the e-mail that Mary sent I am only 99% clear on what Aunt Rita is saying, not 100% clear. My interpretation is that Aunt Rita is saying that we should not have intervined 2 years ago when he got the new pacemaker. If that is not a correct interpretation please correct me. Either way, I think that we should give her advise a lot of weight in the decision making process.
I know this is not easy and please feel free to call anytime. Love to all, Tom

The weeks are flying by and I am spending a lot of time with Mr Amazon sorting out Christmas presents when I should be revising or crafting....However, I did get the chance to make a card using the fantastic Rustic Christmas set by Waltzingmouse. These traditional Christmas images with the integrated sentiments make great quick and easy card designs and I need all of the help that I can get:
I white embossed the elegant dove on to navy cardstock and stamped one of the snowflakes from Waltzingmouse in navy on the card base.
The theme this week at Merry Mondays is to feature a bird on the card so I shall link up there and as the theme at Simon Says Wednesday Challenge is to Let It Snow I shall play along there too.
I hope you are getting some crafty time as the Christmas season draws closer!

These crispy Ham Croquettes are little logs of seasoned minced ham. They are Cuba’s national appetizers but their exquisite flavors are sure to please everyone! Croquettes are easy to prepare, but shaping them does require some time. Fortunately, they can be shaped a day ahead, covered, and refrigerated before frying. For the best flavor, use a good-quality smoked or baked ham and ask your butcher to grind it for you.

T’s new foster mama texted me late last night and was curious if I had any advice on how to discipline T. I don’t. It seems T has started his lies again. She told me that he lies to her about absolutely EVERYTHING! Why? We do NOT know. His new foster mama is seriously awesome. She is kind, yet firm and very stable. But, T has started his lying behaviors again and he wasn’t very nice to his brother, Sad Eyes last week. It’s so hard with T because very little phases him. He is quite introverted when it comes to his feelings, so getting him to talk if he is not interested in doing so is incredibly hard. So, I told her about when I told T the story, “The Boy Who Cried Wolf,” it seemed to really hit home with him when I told him that story at our house. Every time that I sensed he might be lying, I would remind him about trust and how I wanted to trust him so badly, but that I needed him to be honest. So, we will see how that works at their house. He got t.v. and video games taken away for a week. That might work too. I really don’t know? T has been trained that to survive he must lie. It is so ingrained into his being that it is hard to change that personality trait. I do know this, he is in a home where there is consistency and unconditional love. I’m hoping and praying that he sees and feels this, so that he will let go of the lying and embrace telling the truth.

One of the unfortunate realities of the modern ultra-busy American household is the lack of quality time spent together as a family. Although everyone lives together under the same roof, we're often miles apart in terms of having a genuine connection with one another.
The unsettling effects of this trend include negative impacts on the health and well-being of each family member, so a family that's developed strong relational connections is going to be a healthier household. If you feel like your family has been lacking a strong bond, one of the most powerful ways to help your family reconnect is to learn a sport together. Below are four important benefits that you can look forward to when you decide to make learning a sport a family affair.
1. You'll have plenty of opportunities to laugh.
There's something about sharing a laugh that creates a relational bridge between human beings. When you're learning a new sport, you'll probably get plenty of opportunities to laugh together, especially if none of you have any previous experience with the sport in question.
Whether it's basketball, tennis, soccer, or Frisbee golf, you'll find plenty to chuckle about, from missed shots and flubbed plays to those odd moments of complete chaos on the field or court. This can create a fun and memorable experience, as long as nobody takes themselves too seriously. Encourage each family member to loosen up and remember that nobody's training for the Olympics here--you're just looking to have some fun and enjoy the time spent together as a family.
2. You'll learn more about each other's personality.
This is one of the most valuable by-products of spending time playing a sport together. You'll start to notice who among you is the go-getter, the strategist, the team player, the leader, etc. You'll get a good feel for what makes each family member tick, and you can work on recognizing and commending each other's strengths, which creates a greater sense of family camaraderie.
These insights that you pick up during play time can definitely come in handy in other day-to-day life situations, and they can many times help you learn how to better relate to other family members when dealing with more serious issues.
3. You'll develop significant relationship equity.
When you're learning a sport together, the time spent with your family is a powerful investment that creates relationship equity with each of your family members. You might even find that certain issues regarding mutual respect or abiding by the rules of the house will begin to improve, because each member of the family feels a strong connection with the other, creating a deeper sense of loyalty that becomes difficult to violate.
4. You'll get healthier together.
When you learn a sport together, each family member will improve their overall physical health and fitness. By choosing a sport with relatively low barriers to entry such as tennis, you can curb some of the frustrations of the learning process, which will keep everyone focused on having fun.
The easiest way to get everyone started off on the right foot is to take beginners tennis classes, such as the ones offered by Five Seasons Family Sports Club. With their staff of experienced professional instructors, your family will develop a basic set of tennis skills in an encouraging, low-pressure environment. This allows everyone to enjoy themselves while getting some good exercise in the process.
The family that plays together stays together. If you're looking for a way to strengthen your family bond, find a sport that you can all learn to play together.

A proposal was submitted to the Provincial authorities of Groningen and Friesland (the Netherlands) for the construction of a 58 km line connecting the cities of Groningen and Heerenveen. The favourable investment and commercial operation this would involve have attracted political interest.
Qatar has requested the provision of a system for passenger transport in connection with the Football World Cup in 2018.
OMFL (Ontwikkelingsmaatschappij Flevoland) is interested in constructing an OTS system to link Lelystad Airport to the city of Lelystad, possibly with an onward connection to Almere and Amsterdam.
Abu Dhabi contacted OTS about a combination of passenger transport and freight containers. The transport system would be constructed across several islands and lakes, eliminating the need for large buildings.
We were awarded a contract to construct an OTS above 4 pipes, each 15 m in diameter and 75 km long, in Jakarta, Indonesia. These connections will be combined with the existing, very outdated drains and sewers.
Australian train builders are interested in the construction of 450 km suspended rail system to make it easier to cross water barriers and desert regions. Offer and information are under consideration of interested parties.
Revolution in TransportOTS - the Overhead Train System: A new, innovative design for transportation providing unique solutions to the main stumbling blocks and limitations in current infrastructure systems. With OTS, the global citizen obtains access to a unique, comfortable, reliable and on-demand transportation experience.
This is particularly true for congested areas and for regions with geographically demanding environments like wetlands, deserts, waterways and otherwise difficult terrain conditions. An OTS-track with its elevated, individually powered transportation cabins answers to pressing demands with respect to:
- Limitation in Space - utilization of the third space dimension;
- Congestion - no level crossing, On-Demand transport;
- The `User Experience` - high-Speed, Reliable & Comfortable;
- Safety - inaccessible tracks, patented collision prevention technology;
- Environment - low energy consumption per passenger kilometer;
- Cost of Ownership - reliable budgeting, competitive with legacy train systems.

I got the hoe out today for the first time this season, such a great old tool and even better after I put oil on the handle this past winter. The soil has dried out so I wanted to hoe between the rows that I planted a few weeks ago. It was covered in fleece til the weekend when we had storm Katie and the fleece blew off. It was a good idea to hoe down the rows so I could see how the seedlings are doing, things are looking good. Sometimes you really have to get on top of things to really see what is going on. We now need it to stay warm and a little rain every other night, I would be so lucky.
Things are really starting to look good in Mrs Next-doors glass house. I have spent the large part of the past two days pricking out. Once the seedlings are up you really need to keep them moving on, to do this you need to make sure they do not sit and so getting the seedings into plug trays early is important. I am also keeping the heat up in the glass house and not letting things dry out so the growth does not slow down. I hope that things are going to be fine till after the weekend when we have our spring plant fair.
I was very happy to read through the April issue of Gardens Illustrated and see that they have a new star in the magazine, Adele Ford. I know that Adele is a great designer because I went and saw her show gardens at the Hampton Court Flower Show, both of which got gold. Adele is also a hands on gardener which I think makes her a better designer, Adele understands how plants grow and so will use them better than those who do not have this knowledge. Adele’s hands have been in the soil here at Great Dixter. One of the reason I read this magazine is because they give young and interesting people a chance to shine. Watch this star shine.
This time of the year when the winter vegetables are going over and the spring greens not doing too much. nature comes in and gives you some greens. On Saturday I went down to the woods and collected some wild garlic leaves and turned them into pesto. It is such a tasty pesto to make, there is something very back to basic about it and being a simple country boy I love it. We enjoyed it so much I went back again yesterday and got another basket load and have made even more. It is something you need only eat if your lover also does, the garlic will be with you at bedtime and the morning after, maybe your lover will have gone by then if only you eat it.
The garden will be open for another season tomorrow, the winter does seem to have gone rather fast and another season is here already. I am pleased with how the vegetable garden is looking, it would be good to have more to see but it is still early in the season. The past two days I have used my time to dig around the kale, which is now looking good. I have taken the covers off , the pigeons have enough spring food to eat. Between the rows I have dug some compost in. This is the area that I will plant the potatoes this year.
I first read about Johnny Appleseed on a flight to Hong Kong and wrote about him on this blog and a friend and reader of this blog, Kyle sent me a very interesting book about the subject and more. The book is titled “The botany of desire” written by Michael Pollen, a man I would love to meet one day. He is not new to me, he does make it onto radio 4 every now and then. I am enjoying reading his book. The four plants that are looked at are Apple, Tulip, Marijuana and Potatoes. Thank you so much Kyle for an interesting read.
Today was one of those spring days when you want to open all the house windows and put the rugs out to get some fresh air. Well I opened the windows in my room and only hung one rug out to freshen up. My major job for today was to get on my hands and knees and weed the large area that we over wintered salad and carrots in this past winter. The dogs enjoyed eating the carrots which are still good and will also me made into soup. It felt great to have the sun on my back and have the area look great at the end of the day. This year the tomatoes will be planted there.

CHICAGO, Il. — Suspected terrorist, Nabil Al-Marabh, applied for a job as a hazardous materials truck driver on Aug. 10, according to a trucking company in Chicago.
The former Toronto resident applied for the job to haul dangerous goods on Aug. 10, according to the trucking firm’s owner.
"I told him we didn’t haul hazardous materials," says Container Express owner Michael Parise. "But I took his application anyway."
Parise says that the suspect proposed he begin trucking with an Arab-American truck driver he knew who worked for the company. The driver he wanted to work with has been driving for the company for "about a year," he adds.
Parise was suspicious when Al-Marabh was unable to provide a driver’s licence, saying he lost it when he received a speeding ticket. Court documents, however, reveal that Al-Marabh held two driver’s licences one from Ontario and one from Massachusetts.

June 22nd, 2009- Monday
OMG- WHAT A DAY!! The rollercoaster ride never ends!!!..or maybe I’m exaggerating it—but that’s an integral part of describing this INCREDIBLE experience!
So today I woke up extremely lazy, as if I had to go to work after a long weekend..a really odd feeling. It took me the entire car ride to Sriya’s house to wrap my head around the fact that we were going back to Samna Nagar, back to our children. To tell you the truth, I don’t know if I was completely excited. I had felt the peak in my energy levels the week before and now it felt like I was exhausting- slowing but at an incremental rate. At this point, not only did I feel physically exhausted, but also mentally didn’t feel the same. Anyhow, I was still excited about our progress with the children- so Zohar and I left early to meet at Sriya’s house for a meeting before we entered “the zone”.
From the plan that we had made for the week during training, we had decided that today we wanted to finalize the script topic, identify the leaders within the children and instill some more confidence and focus in them and update the Parivartan staff on what we were up to and what our plan of action was for the week to come. So we planned for half an hour at Sriya’s house and also for an hour on our way to Wadala. We reached there at 1:15pm and went directly to Gangadhar’s office. He mentioned the fact that Gayatri teacher wasn’t at school yet as she had to take care of some work for student’s admissions in the formal schools. We spoke to Gangadhar for a while, giving him updates, and then we told him about our idea of taking the students of our class for an “educational trip” planned for Wednesday. Wednesday was impossible, so he shot that down within one go- we suggested Thursday, but he was reluctant. He said that there were many issues involved but it was possible- so we should have a meeting with the teachers and us after school. The plan we had in mind was to take the students by bus (which was to be arranged as a donation by Sriya’s mom’s friend) to South Mumbai to see another street play that Manjul was working on with kids from Seva Sadan, possibly have our kids do a little skit for the kids from Seva Sadan, then go to Mani Bhavan, The Gateway of India, and then possibly meet and interview a doctor, lawyer and policeman. The purpose of this was not only seeing and experiencing theatre through children they could relate to, it was also experiential learning- build their confidence, get some visuals – try being creative and get inspired by actually coming face to face with their dreams.
So after speaking to Gangadhar, we went over to the classroom – regaining some levels of energy and excitement on hearing my favorite salutation “ HELLLOOOO TEACHERRR!!” :D The three of us walked in when Gayatri teacher was working with the kids on the Hindi alphabets. I noticed (then soon confirmed) that there were atleast 4 new students I hadn’t seen before. We quietly sat at the back until she stopped to come over to us. We explained what we planned to do today. I mentioned to her that we would need all her help possible to go through this process- she readily agreed. By then it was around 2 pm. She asked us to take over the class until she went and called all the kids to come to school. She said that this was an everyday routine as that was the only way they would come. Some of them were too busy playing, some were doing some work and then some have gone to some place with their families and couldn’t get back in time for school.
We first sat in a circle and went over names and saying “one thing that you would like to do when you grow up that you haven’t been able to do before”. Eg: I want to fly a plane. This game went extremely slow as expected. So we switched it up- shook it up a little. Broke up the group into 3 groups and then worked with just them. Gayatri and Zohar were together and I helped a little with the translation- but mostly Zohar managed as she always miraculously does. Sriya and I had our own groups- and each group had 1 or 2 leaders that would tell the rest of the students on how to act. We gave them objects like ‘tree, house, train, animals, etc”. After a while we made it competitive and got the students to show it to each other- while the others have to guess.
Next game we got them to get into a circle and then mentioned scenarios. Asked those to step forward if anyone related to them. Eg: I would ask one kid “what’s your religion”- she said “muslim”- then all those who were muslim had to step forward. The one that got me thinking was when I asked someone “when I fight with someone I resolved the problem by…” he said “hitting”.. then many children stepped forward- I told them to step back since it was a bad thing. One boy ran as far as he could, laughing the entire time. I asked him why he did that? Hitting a lot? He, just like the other kids, didn’t realize that it was wrong- just seemed like a “done thing”. It got me thinking- the reason why we’ve been having such a hard time with the script has been because these kids don’t really identify with these situations as ‘adversarial’ but just a part of their daily routine. Their exposure so limited that they haven’t really experienced a life beyond. Which made me think that maybe ignorance IS the key to happiness at present. Empowerment is one thing- what about the consequences of empowerment!? There are many questions of development that don’t really have a straight answer- which make it even harder to work with conceptually. Anyhow, the game ended when we were all really close to each other. We gave each other a huge group hug and then said something that now sounds cheesy (but is still important) “spread only love and not hate”!!
After this we decided to let the children off for a 15 minute break- more because I needed it than them. Although things were going OKAY so far, I can’t really type out the energy levels in the class room. For some reason today everything felt like a challenge. The students were extremely restless and I was getting worried about 1 or 2 kids losing interest. Sriya, Zohar and I tried to brainstorm on how to change things and proceed to make optimal use of time for the purpose of our script. We finalized a few ideas and then got broke up into 3 groups again. This time however, we decided to break them up by age. Sriya and Zohar worked together on the middle aged group with the topic of education, Gayatri teacher worked with the youngest kids on the topic of cleanliness and I worked with the oldest kids on gender discrimination. Now, although we had the groups broken up- it was EXTREMELY hard to get the students to focus and work together as a team. I finally gave in, assigned them roles and gave them specific scenes to work on. It was extremely chaotic but we pulled of a great 10 minute play! :D Each group performed for the others. The audience wasn’t really paying as much attention – and there was more chaos, but they still enjoyed it.
We finished class 20 minutes passed deadline, Zohar and Gayatri’s phones were on silent so they didn’t see Gangashar’s missed calls until we were done with class. We walked over quickly to his office, ofourse he wasn’t in the best mood. Ashni teacher (the other classes’ teacher) was already there. I gave them a quick update on what our plans for the outing was. That’s when Gangadhar intervened and said that he didn’t think it was a good idea. He gave us some reasons that I could detail in the next post when I’m not as exhausted. Basically, there wasn’t really a conversation with the teachers. He said he spoke to Shakil and they collectively came to the conclusion that there was no way that the students could go. That was a dissappointing moment, but we calmly tried to understand his views. We had that meeting for a good half an hour and went back an forth with the options and addressing all administrative and conceptual concerns- but came to the conclusion that it was a bad idea. Ashni teacher barely said anything, but Gayatri teacher walked back with us to the bus stop..chatting the entire way there.
We came home to Sriya’s house again, went over the day- reflected, noted issues, and tried to go over the next day’s specifics. However, we were quite flustered with a few issues- 1) How do we make a group of diverse students who can’t read or write – write a script!?!?! 2) There were a few students that were losing interest. What do we do with them? How do you keep everyone interested!? 3) We needed a back up plan for the exploration trip. We really wanted to avoid calling Manjul until Tuesday. We did anyway- felt MUCH better although after an hour long conversation we didn’t have a concrete plan. His sense of calm and confidence always calms me down.
For now that will get me the sleep...

Now I know this may be shocking to some of my 3.5 readers, mostly because you are all single and/or newly married and not yet contemplating the giant, insane leap into parenthood at this moment in time, but I feel it is my sworn duty to scare you with the truth before you partake in it yourself and cry foul at the horrendous nature of what befalls you post-pregnancy. It's my pleasure, my sisters did it to me and I honestly thought they were being dramatic. Ha HA HAHAHAHAHA. How oblivious I was.
Here's how it goes:
A. You get knocked up. (You're all, YEAH! This is so fun!)
B. You travel through pregnancy and it goes really well. (You're all, what are these people bitching about, this is great!)
C. You have the baby. (You're still, this is still amazing! Everyone is exaggerating the pain and etc.)
D. You try to breastfeed. (This doesn't go so well, but you're not horrible at it, so you're okay. YEAH!)
E. Your "milk comes in". (This should be called, "Your breasts swell to the size and weight of giant bowling balls, they're hot and sore as hell, and whatever progress you made with your baby convincing him that they are for nourishment and contain lots of yummy milk goes flying out the window when he takes one look at them and tries to run back into your uterus for fear of suffocation by mammary gland".)
F. You try every trick in the "Breastfeeding Your Baby" 2 page guide they give you in the hospital. Yeah, thanks for teaching me where my breasts are located, aside from that, you are completely useless.
G. You call lactation consultants, La Leche League, your neighbor's best friends mother, anyone who has breasts and might be able to help you. All turn up empty.
H. You start negotiating with your baby, "If you learn to do this, you can eat anytime you want, for as long as you want, anywhere you want, until you're old enough to enter a retirement village if you'd just meet me halfway here."
I. You finally reattach your brain to your nerve endings and get a breast pump to relieve the pressure which has quickly achieved 'Erupting Volcano' status.
J. You give in and meet with the scary Australian Lactation Consultant.
K. And voila! She's got him breastfeeding faster than Michael Phelps can win 8 gold medals.
L. You quickly take back everything you ever said about Australians. In fact, you're nominating Australia for a non-existent 'Country of the Year Award' and contemplating moving the entire outfit Down Under in support of Aussie Lactation Consultants.

Every time I have hired you to entertain one of my conference groups, the evening with you has been a highlight of the conference. Your combination of comedy and magic, in addition to being able to include details about the group you are entertaining, makes for a winning combination.
Cindy Delaney - Delaney Meeting & Event Management
Thank you for the years of top‑quality entertainment. Whether you were ‘fooling’ adults or children at our Balloon Festival Gathering under ‘the big tent’ or addressing Systems & Software's national customer base, we have always been extremely pleased. What amazes us, even though we have hired you quite a few times, is that you always have ‘new tricks.’ and the same, pleasant demeanor. You are as ‘smooth’ a magician as I have ever seen. The other thing we like about your business attitude is that you do what you say you will do when you say you will do it. Never, once, have we been disappointed and you always deliver just a little bit more than you promise. “We highly recommend Marko!”
William H. Willey - President - Systems & Software, Inc.
Marko has performed for Bio‑Tek at a number of sales meetings. Both his close up magic and shows are always a hit with our diverse groups of U.S. and International representatives. I would highly recommend Marko if you're looking for great entertainment at a cocktail party or dinner event. He mingles with the guests, gets people talking and laughing together, and provides a fantastic show for any age group. Marko has been the entertainment highlight of many of our meetings. People are already asking for him for next year!! Thanks Marko!
Julie Murray - Marketing Services Supervisor - Bio-Tek Instruments Inc.
All aspects of Marko’s performance were appropriate, in good taste, and very entertaining for a wide range of age groups. We were especially pleased that Marko worked some important values, such as safety, into his presentation. The only challenge in working with Marko is planning early enough to be able to fit into his busy schedule.
Linda Stowe Miller - Human Resources Department - BFGoodrich Aerospace
Thank you for all of your help. The evening was a spectacular success and you had a lot to do with it. The reviews have been wonderful.

You are a personable guest who enhances the broadcast. Your versatility and ability to connect with all generations is a truly great skill.
Paul S. Goldman - President - Sisson Broadcasting
He involved the kids in his work and at the same time had the adults laughing at his jokes. I had quite a few of my employee's come up to me after the party and thank me for bringing MARKO in to entertain them. This comment was quite interesting because I had actually brought him in to entertain the kids. I would highly recommend him for any party or function you may have.
Dick Greene - Branch Manager - Farrell Distributing Inc.
Marko’s combination of wit and incredible talent truly make him a “master magician.” We look forward to another reason to invite him back!

“Do You Mind If I Don’t Put My Boob On?” or Why Your Furnace, Boiler, Heat Pump, A/C Repair or Installation is Fighting Breast Cancer in Memphis
by Kathe Stewart
“Kathe, do you mind if I don’t put my boob on?” This may sound like a strange way to start a conversation about your air conditioning and heating. But, these were the first in-person words one of our FAVORITE clients spoke when I went to her home for the first time some years ago. We ended up chatting like two old friends for a very long time. Of course, Shirley was talking about her prosthetic “boob” (the one she wore sometimes to replace the one she had lost to breast cancer).
Because of that memorable conversation starter, I scheduled my own mammogram after I left her home that day, and every year since.
We’ve had many phone chats about life, friendship, her battle with cancer – which became a footnote to all the health battles that followed. Her philosophy of maintaining an upbeat and optimistic attitude, not wasting her time worrying about things she could not change, putting one foot in the front of the other and even the loss of her sister to metastatic breast cancer were topics of conversation and inspiration – often while scheduling her HVAC repair and maintenance calls over the years.
As it became more difficult to live alone, she moved to assisted living. Last month, we connected about what she has been up to and our desire at Precision Air Conditioning & Heating to help raise awareness about and a cure for breast cancer. Plus, especially after losing my mother this year (whose spirit in the face of serious health challenges was similar), I wanted to make sure she knew what an amazingly positive impact she has and continues to have on MY life. I told her that whenever I face something tough, I think of her, her indomitable spirit, her willingness to live full out, her courage and yes, the boob comment that propelled me into taking action for myself. That is how we came to support the Memphis-MidSouth Affiliate of Susan G. Komen.
10 Reasons Precision Air Conditioning & Heating Donates For the Cure and for Breast Cancer Awareness in October & November
- Shirley’s spirit and example inspires us to do what we can where we can (and she SURE inspired me!) Everyone pays attention in October because it is National Breast Cancer Awareness Month. We add in November too – to extend the conversation a bit longer. Especially as the female co-owner of Precision and 47 years old myself, I am all too aware of the increased risk of breast cancer after 40. Most of the women we serve are 40+.
- As a family owned business for 41 years, we think of our clients as a part of our family. We do it for every person in our own family and the greater Precision family and beyond who might see OUR participation and decide to take a step toward action for themselves and/or their loved ones. YES!!! It is okay to drag your sister, mom, friend, co-worker, daughter or grand-mother to her mammogram.
- Talking about and raising awareness about breast cancer matters. It helps on every level from education, prevention, screening, diagnosis, support, treatment, choices and even a cure (to name a few). Awareness and action are not the same thing. However, more focus on awareness helps lead to more action. In fact, since 1990, breast cancer mortality has decreased by 34 percent. Experts attribute this to improved treatments and early detection.
- For all those women (and men) who are or will be fighting, living, thriving and/or in remission with this disease. 1 in 8 women will get breast cancer in her lifetime and 1 in 1000 men in his lifetime as things stand now. 25% of ALL cancer in women is Breast Cancer.
- For all those we’ve lost to this disease and the voids their passing left behind.
- For everyone who loves someone with this disease. Including those in our family.
- Supporting Susan G. Komen Memphis-MidSouth means that 75% of the funds raised stay in our community. As a LOCALLY run affiliate of Susan G. Komen, they have their own Board of Directors and are very transparent about where there fundraising goes. In fact, by scrolling to the bottom of the link above, you can see a pdf list of exactly what organizations they are supporting financially. This means more LOCAL women can have access to education, screening, support and treatment.
- Supporting Susan G. Komen Memphis-MidSouth means that 25% of the fundraising goes to global and national breast cancer research. Komen is the 1 private provider of research funds in the nation.
- Sadly, Memphis is 1 in the NATION for deaths from breast cancer for African American women.
- Early diagnosis is key for the best long term outcomes for most types of breast cancer. Although risks vary with type and stage of breast cancer, there is a 99% relative 5-year survival rate for early-stage breast cancer.
For the Months of October & November, When you choose us for your heater, boiler, heat pump, furnace, air conditioning or water heater repair we donate $10 to Susan G. Komen Memphis-MidSouth. For every new air conditioning and heating system installation we donate $50.

The 2010 AA Insurance Survey indicates Tauranga is the most dangerous main centre in New Zealand to park a car.
The survey reports a national average of 21 out of every 1000 AA Insurance policy holders claimed during the last 12 months for damage caused to their vehicle while it was parked.
Tauranga was the worst main centre with 73 out of every 1000 AA Insurance policy holders claiming for damage caused to their vehicle while it was parked there.
The safest city to have a car parked in was Christchurch with 16 out of every 1000 policy holders claiming for parked car damage there, although the statistics have not included incidents related to the September earthquake.
The Tauranga numbers are concerning as the Christmas shopping season nears and that is the time when more car park accidents occur.
The most common place for car park collisions is the supermarket with 33 per cent of AA Insurance claims for cars damaged while parked.
Shopping centres are the second most likely place for car park damage, with 18 per cent of car park collisions occurring there.
“Car parks are notorious for accidents as space is tight and drivers can feel rushed or frustrated,” says AA Insurance deputy general manager Martin Fox.
“If drivers make a conscious effort to not let holiday pressures get on top of them, Christmas shopping will be easier for everyone.”
The survey also analysed the honesty of people who caused damage to parked cars based on whether they made an effort to contact the owner of the parked car they hit.
There were 4336 drivers aged 18-65 surveyed on this issue.
Twenty per cent of respondents said if they damaged a vehicle in a car park and no-one saw them, they would consider not leaving their details (2009: 15 per cent).
Of those whose car was damaged in a car park last year, the survey shows 91 per cent of them returned to find no contact details from the person responsible.
“This year we have received an average of 377 claims per month from customers whose cars were damaged while parked, and in most cases the person who caused the damage did not leave their details,” says Martin.
“There is a legal responsibility to own up if you damage someone else’s vehicle. Even a small ding can cause thousands of dollars worth of damage.
“If we know who is responsible, we can contact them or their insurer to manage the claim,” says Martin.
“If we don’t, we can’t. This means you’re more likely to have to pay your excess and it might also affect your no claims record.”
The average claim amount for parked car damage last year was $1481.

134. Suppose that you fall out of a plane about 30 seconds after your parachute pack fell out. Is it really possible to catch up to your parachute pack and save yourself?
The answer depends on how high the plane was flying and just how much air resistance the pack experiences as it falls. After a few seconds of falling, an object reaches a terminal velocity—it stops accelerating downward. That's because the upward force that air resistance exerts on it grows stronger as its downward velocity increases. Eventually, the upward force it experiences exactly balances its downward weight and it has no net force on it—it doesn't accelerate. For a person, this terminal velocity ranges from about 100 mph to 200 mph, depending on the person's shape. Curling into a compact ball should allow you to reach a relatively high terminal velocity of 200 mph. Since the parachute pack is relatively light but has substantial surface area for the wind to push against, it probably has a lower terminal velocity of say, 100 mph. This arrangement would allow you to approach the pack at a relative velocity of 100 mph. In order to actually overtake the pack, you'll still need some time, so the higher the plane was when you started, the better your chances are. Since the pack has a 30 second head start and descends at 100 mph, it will be about 0.83 miles below you when you leave the plane. You'll catch up to it 30 seconds later, during which time you will have dropped a total of 1.67 miles. Thus in principle, you could catch the pack so long as the plane's altitude was more than about 1.67 miles. To allow time to put the pack on, for the parachute to open, and for your terminal velocity to then become low enough to avoid injury, you'd better have the plane at more than about 2.5 miles. Still, this doesn't sound like a fun experiment.

The legislature short session is in full swing and one of the topics will be a bill coming into the Ag and Natural Resources Committee that would legislatively back the ODF&W’s commission decision to delist the grey wolf according to Representative Greg Barreto: “This is just part of the process of the wolf plan that everyone agreed to ten years ago. They agreed to the numbers, they agreed to the process, they agreed to the plan as it was written.”
That plan, according to Barreto, is in three phases. The first being reintroduction, the second is increasing the number and the third is management, but Representative Barreto says there’s one step that has to take place before the management phase can begin: “In order to get to that third phase, which we will be in in about a year based on numbers, then in order to manage the wolves they need to be delisted.”
Barreto says that the delisting is part of a process that everyone agreed to ten years ago as the plan was being written.

Prepare to alter alot of baby diapers!
Your package of joy will certainly require around 6000 nappy changes prior to finishing to underwears. That’s a great deal of unclean nappies and, depending on which ones you use, either a lot of waste or a lot of washing!
There’s the poo variable– that nappy has obtained ta be up to the work. The things we provide for love.
A stitch in time conserves 9 … mins of rest
Getting a nappy strategy in position before child goes along will certainly save you time, money as well as power, and also will have a large effect on your environmental footprint. Having claimed that, it’s never too late to switch nappy groups or blend it up a little bit depending on your worry for the setting versus your worry for your peace of mind … and your demand for rest.
First of all, allow’s be familiar with nappies.
Great ol’ disposables. With truly only one design, they absorb moisture promptly to prevent leakages and also ‘secure it in’ to maintain your bub fairly dry; are very easy and also quick to attach; keep closed during use; and also fit numerous shapes and sizes. As well as they’re extremely practical, specifically when out as well as around– particularly so due to the fact that they’re available in every grocery store and also corner store. They do not call them convenience stores for no factor!
Multiple-use contemporary fabric nappies
Modern fabric nappies (MCNs) are ending up being much more prominent as well as, to be clear, we’re not chatting the old terry-towelling squares. MCNs are the brand-new whiz-bang variation including a waterproof cover, watertight elasticised leg openings and also absorptive cushioning as well as lining.
The various designs
There are more than 200 brands– the majority of which are made by work-at-home mums that sell them over the internet on stores like Etsy.
All-in-ones have a moisture-resistant outer layer stitched with an absorbent inner to develop the nappy– they could take a little while to completely dry.
All-in-twos, additionally called snap-in-ones, contain a lined water resistant external layer as well as absorptive internal layers, which “break in” with press studs. They could be uncoupled for laundering, so they dry faster compared to all-in-ones.
Pocket nappies have a water resistant outer layer stitched with a soft inner cellular lining, which forms the shell. In between these two layers there’s a pocket for the absorbent inserts. These are gotten rid of for cleaning then replaced, which could be a bit fiddly however on the bonus side they dry rapidly.
Antique terry-towelling square nappies are also still offered. They can take a little practice to fold up and also fit right, yet they are a cheaper multiple-use choice than MCNs, as well as modern-day fasteners indicate you don’t also should use safety and security pins.
I can see there are benefits to both– how do I choose in Millersburg Iowa?
There are a variety of considerations, so let’s take a look at them.
The upfront price of multiple-use nappies is fairly high, however in the future it’s potentially cheaper than disposables– decreasing in expense tremendously with every kid.
Towel nappies do need a little bit more work, as well as might be a pain when you’re out. Much like a worn out bub.
Good quality, well-fitting nappies– whether fabric or disposable– will certainly keep infant dry, and won’t cause nappy rash.
Disposable nappies really don’t have the very best environment-friendly reputation, yet there are choices to minimize their impact:
Some brand names are eco-friendly, though problems in landfill make this degradation hard to take place.
Some have compostable or recyclable product packaging.
Purchasing locally-made nappies, as opposed to imported, reduces transport carbon expense.
Regardless of the environmental expenses of material production and also nappy laundering, fabric nappies that are dry-pailed and also primarily line-dried still come out in advance of disposables.
Disposables come in various dimensions to suit your growing bundle-that’s- now-turning-into-a-handful, and ultimately you can removal right into pull-up pants from a few of the same brands.
MCNs are available in fixed dimensions, or a one-size-fits-most (OSFM), which has extra attachments for changing the nappy as your infant grows.
Fixed-size nappies means purchasing new collections as your infant expands bigger, so it might set you back more. On the other hand, if you’re having more than one kid, you’ll make use of the grown out of ones once more.
You’ll just require one set of OSFM nappies, but their longer use suggests more deterioration, and also they may only last through one youngster’s infancy.
The sort of fabric made use of impacts drying time. Natural fibres usually take longer to completely dry than synthetics, and you’ll want to make certain you have enough nappies to obtain with a few days of wet climate if you do not have a clothes dryer.
Paper or textile nappy liners make your washing life simpler by keeping solids off the nappy. Flushable ones make clean-up a cinch!
The absorbing products (covering liners, pads as well as boosters) include bamboo, cotton, hemp or fleece, with breathable polyurethane laminated material (PUL) or lanolised woollen often used for covers– if you have an interest in that kind of thing.
I desire a judgment– which nappy is best?
For ecological and financial factors, you can not pass by MCNs.
For ease-of-use as well as benefit, disposables are the method to go.
Naturally it doesn’t need to be one or the various other: you can make use of cloth nappies in your home during the day, and disposables when out and about, disappearing, in the evening, at day care, and also throughout long periods of rain when you prefer to not make use of the dryer.
If you’re unclear:
Buy a solitary nappy of each type that piques your rate of interest.
Some MCN firms market test loads with samples of the different styles.
Hire a trial pack from a nappy collection, a service used by nappy firms and also area groups: browse the web for ‘modern-day towel nappy library’ to find one near you.
Exactly how do I recognize I’ve selected the appropriate nappy?
Whatever you have actually picked, here’s the list for an excellent nappy:
No dripping around the legs.
No liquid permeating via the cover.
Not too tight or too loosened around hips as well as legs.
No massaging or chafing from the nappy or bolts around the legs or hips.
Infant’s skin really feels reasonably dry when the damp nappy is eliminated.
The nappy holds enough liquid to be practical (ie you don’t have to alter frequently).
Infant could relocate legs freely and also, at later stages, crawl as well as walk without being bothered by the nappy.
One last point, are recyclable nappies as much grunt work as they seem?
There’s an easy five-step method called dry pailing, which followers say make easy work of heavy soils.
Utilize flushable liners to capture solids.
Separate the parts (cover and also padding) of the damp nappies, or if they’re all-in-ones avoid in advance to step 3.
Rinse in cool water if needed.
Place them right into a pail with a cover.
Toss the lots right into the washering each day.
Ideally you currently have a satisfied, dry baby as well as the only thing you have to worry about is how you’ll find time to Instagram every moment!

In today’s mass-produced world, uniqueness is a valuable thing. MamAmor has recognized this value since day one, which is why we offer a product that is exclusive to you. Our carefully handcrafted birthing, breastfeeding, VBAC, and family dolls are more than just a thoughtfully produced product, they are a reflection of mothers, fathers, children, and families everywhere.
Like our customers, each doll is special in its own way. Using MamAmor’s Custom Doll Ordering Form, you can select your doll’s skin color, eye color, hair color and style, as well as clothing. The baby dolls are designed to resemble their associated mother doll but can be easily modified to suit any preference you may have. For even more personal touch, you can request individual characteristics such as freckles, glasses, tattoos, and accessories for your doll. No two dolls are the same.
Not only can you customize individual dolls, you can also customize entire families. Unfortunately, it can sometimes be difficult for certain groups to find representations of themselves or their families. Inclusivity is very important to us at MamAmor, which is why we accommodate LGBTQ, adoptive, surrogate, and any other type of families. In addition, parents or children who are visually impaired can use our dolls as a tool for textured learning. Whatever your family may look like, we are happy to represent you with our one-of-a-kind dolls.
Nowadays, it’s not always easy to find that perfect personalized gift for someone you care about, but with MamAmor’s custom dolls, you can be sure you’re giving something entirely unique. Expectant or new mothers will appreciate our thoughtful, carefully crafted dolls as they use them to prepare for their journey into motherhood. MamAmor dolls are also a popular and meaningful gift for midwife graduates. Even celebrities can appreciate the inimitability of our dolls. A few years ago, a friend of Alanis Morissette gifted her one of our customizable dolls for the arrival of her first child.
We’ve heard it time and time again – Our customers are overwhelmed by warmth when they hold their customized dolls and see the hard-work, consideration, and care put into making them just right. As a small business operated by dedicated mothers in Canada and across the globe, we’re not driven to sell a product, we’re driven to provide a genuine experience; one that simply cannot be replicated by big business.
Comments will be approved before showing up.

A few weeks ago, I went to my own funeral. Or at least a simulation of my own funeral. I was sitting in an auditorium, alone except for a trim young man in a black suit, who walked up to a lectern and began speaking. “Good evening,” he said. “We are here to honor the memory of Doree Shafrir. Doree was a beloved friend, daughter, and wife. Our thoughts go out to her loved ones on this day.”
It was more than a little jarring, sitting there listening to this guy talk about me. Doree, he said, was “committed to her work, to social justice and to literature. She showed support to women she’d never even met, and gave platforms to voices of color.” He went on like this for another minute or so, talking about how I’d passed away and “left an empty place” in the hearts of my loved ones. Next, there was a video — all my tweets, scrolling on a huge screen in front of me — and it was only then that I truly started recoiling. My legacy was going to be my tweets about Justin Bieber’s fling with Bronte Blampied, my neighbors' love of Project Runway, my excitement about wearing a dress with pockets to a wedding.
I was at LACMA, the LA County Museum of Art, for an interactive exhibit put on by an organization called the Hereafter Institute, which was started by the 34-year-old artist Gabriel Barcia-Colombo. The pitch was vague: The Hereafter Institute, I was told, “evaluates a person's digital afterlife using new technologies.” The “funeral” was the culmination of a half-hour personal tour through a series of exhibits meant to inspire reflection and conversation on our digital afterlives.
For centuries, people have been trying to figure out how to achieve immortality — or at least extend their lifespans. Today, billionaires like Larry Ellison, Peter Thiel, and Sergey Brin are spending part of their fortunes on research that they hope will allow them to extend their lifespans. Perhaps the most radical ideas are coming out of Dmitry Itskov's 2045 Initiative, an organization that hopes to eventually be able to meld human heads with robot bodies. For the non-billionaires among us, digital immortality will have to do.
I've long been fascinated by the posthumous digital lives of others, but I'd never really thought about what would happen to my own self-created online presence after I'm dead — and more important, how it could be manipulated, even by people with the best of intentions. As someone who likes to maintain a modicum of control over her online presence (don't we all?), this notion started to feel more than a little bit scary. What would someone who doesn't know me infer about who I was based solely on my online presence? At least when I'm alive, my social media is a constantly updated, organically changing thing; once I'm dead, it's all frozen in amber. Would that same online presence serve as a comfort to people who knew me, a kind of poignant memorial? Or, most terrifyingly of all, would no one care?
I'm not proud of the fact that when I hear about a celebrity dying, I check to see what their last tweet was. I obsessively read the Last Message Received Tumblr, which posts the last communication (usually texts) that people got from exes, or family and friends who died; the ones that are the most painful to read are the mundane ones from friends who were then killed by drunk drivers.
These transmissions can appear cruelly unremarkable, but after death, even the most ordinary dribs and drabs of communication feel poignant to their loved ones. Like the Hereafter Institute's project, the Last Message Received is saying: You matter. You matter, and the world you lived in matters, and the people you loved — they matter too.
Still, I can’t help but think I'll want to keep everything away from the prying eyes of people like me when someone I’m close to dies.
Aren't we really just expressing anxieties about our own mortality when we voraciously consume the digital afterlives of others? When I think about it in this light, I'm more forgiving of my morbid, voyeuristic habit. If there is an upside to my obsession with these inadvertent social media memorials, it's that they have made me more aware of the permanence of my online presence, which, in the moment, can seem deceptively ephemeral. In 2016, the human condition is marked by existential despair in thinking about being remembered for a few lackluster, dashed-off tweets and silly photos. What if the last thing I ever tweet is a complaint about how much Time Warner Cable sucks? And so, whether we like it or not, life now requires no small degree of constant self-examination about our own legacies, online and off.
When I arrived at the entrance of the Hereafter Institute's exhibit, I was greeted by a young blonde woman (an actor, I later learned) in a lab coat, who began by asking me a series of questions about my online presence, including which social networks I had accounts on and which dating apps I’d used. I was left, by that simple exercise, with the uncomfortable knowledge that my digital legacy goes far beyond a bunch of photos on Instagram. It’s a LinkedIn profile where I’ll always be working at BuzzFeed, a Clue profile where my next period is always just a few weeks away, my Discover Weekly playlist on Spotify updating until the end of time. I sat there wondering if my Apple ID would exist forever and if new episodes of Who? Weekly would keep downloading well after I was gone.
Then I stood on a platform while another Hereafter Institute guide took a 3D scan of my body — a scan I would later see animated at my "funeral" — and led me to another building at the museum, where there exhibit continued. There, I saw a record player on a stand where tweets by a man named Fernando Rafael Heria Jr. scrolled on a black screen. (I later found out he had been hit by a car and killed in 2010 while riding his bike in Miami; he was 25.) "Ever wanted to kick someone in the throat?" said one tweet, from March 20, 2010. "Fernando Rafael Heria Jr. shared a link: Brian Piccolo: Thursday Night Criterium Series," said another from March 25 of that year.
Next, I was led over to a different part of the same room, where I put on a virtual reality headset and found myself engulfed in the separate worlds of three people who had died. It was like a video game, with voiceovers by friends and family (and in one case, a reading by one of the deceased). Barcia-Colombo explained that his intention was to create a memorial to the dead that would allow people a small window into their lived experiences.
A few days after I went through the exhibit, I spoke with Barcia-Colombo by phone. “I was really interested in this sort of bizarre thing that’s happening now, where people pass away on the internet and there’s no real virtual practice put in place for what we do with this data,” he said. “I've had friends that have passed away, and yet people don't really know, and they still wish them happy birthday. Or people tweet after they've died because they've set up auto-tweeting. I thought it was a really sort of interesting time in our culture, and our conversation about death is really changing.”
Last year, Facebook instituted a policy that allows you to designate a person to maintain your Facebook page after you die; your page lives on, but is changed to a “memorial” page. But what happens when that person dies? And so on? “At some point there's going to be more people who've passed away on Facebook than there are alive people on Facebook,” Barcia-Colombo said. “What is that going to mean?”
We don’t know the answer to that question yet. But what does it mean when even the most off-the-cuff content that we produced when we were alive has the potential to become a posthumous representation of ourselves? It’s exhausting enough to maintain a digital presence while we’re alive. Now are we expected to also be mindful of how our digital selves will be perceived after death?
Today's teenagers are enamored with pointedly ephemeral social media like Snapchat, where posts disappear quickly and (seemingly) forever, and maybe they're onto something. Maybe the next generation is so conscious of digital legacies that they've decided not to create one at all. But I'm too far gone, I think, to make my social media presence disappear; I am a self-archivist by nature, and erasing everything is scarier to me than the idea that someone might piece together a contextless version of me after I die.
All of this awareness adds another complicated layer to the notion of the digital self — one that a quick perusal of my Twitter feed tells me I am definitely not ready for. We may not be sentient beings in death, but whether we like it or not, we will continue to exist long after our bodies are dead and gone.

Bangor's block watch program is nearing a year old. Its approximate two dozen members patrol the streets keeping and eye out for illegal activity and also try to spread the word about the group. The hope is to increase membership.
Bangor Police Chief Glenn Kerrigan said watch groups ''can be very effective'' if the information they give police pans out.
Jean O'Neill, director of research for the National Crime Prevention Council, stressed that sometimes some small problems left unattended can be dangerous for a community. She used a metaphor to describe how neighborhoods decline.
If someone breaks a window of an empty house and no one fixes it, it sends a message it's all right to break more windows, she said. That can send the message that it's all right to break into the house, she said.
"It transmits the message that the rules are off the table,'' O'Neill said.
This idea is often referred to as broken window syndrome. The theory was created from a book entitled Broken Windows authored by James Q. Wilson and George L. Kelling in 1982.
A successful strategy for preventing vandalism, say the book's authors, is to fix the problems when they are small. Repair the broken windows within a short time, say, a day or a week, and the tendency is that vandals are much less likely to break more windows or do further damage. Clean up the sidewalk every day, and the tendency is for litter not to accumulate (or for the rate of littering to be much less). Problems do not escalate and thus respectable residents do not flee a neighborhood. The theory thus makes two major claims: 1) further petty crime and low-level anti-social behavior will be deterred, and thus 2) major crime will be prevented.
Crime watch groups thus, often do much more than watch crime.
O'Neill says that watch groups need to expand beyond just crime to stay busy and viable. They need to focus on things like safety, or making sure the borough's codes get enforced.
''We've been able to keep people because we're active,'' said Bill Leiner, mayor of Coplay and part of the borough's block watch.
Initially, he said, Coplay fell into the traditional trap: after several burglaries in the early 1990s, ''people got fired up'' and formed a crime watch. But ''once things settled down, people stopped coming.''
In 1995, residents started a new crime watch, although it now focuses on more than just crime, Leiner said. They've established ''safe houses'' for kids on their way to and from school, they hold an annual bike derby, and have begun to look at the borough's feral cat population.
They've also worked with other similar organizations in Lehigh County, such as the watch groups in Catasauqua and Whitehall.
Like its counterpart in Coplay, Whitehall has expanded its focus. The group campaigns to get speed limit and ''watch children'' signs placed around the township, and has held fingerprinting sessions for kids.
Interested in learning more? Seek out your local crime watch. If you don't have one, consider starting one.
The National Crime Prevention Council says:
- Talk to your local police department and seek its advice and support.
- Work in teams and wear identifying clothing — T-shirts, caps, vests or jackets — or reflective clothing and patches.
- Never carry any kind of weapon, and never challenge anyone you encounter.
- Have members carry a pad and pencil as well as a flashlight after dark.
- Be courteous and helpful to residents in the neighborhoods you patrol.
- Keep a log and file reports with your local law enforcement agency.

A series of transportation vehicles are carrying defective nuclear missiles, which have leaked, killing off their drivers and causing the carriers to follow direct co-ordinates toward the Blast Corps disarming sites. As the transports are following the most direct, efficient path possible – a straight line – entire cities happen to be blocking their paths. So it’s your job to decimate the many concrete jungles and prevent the planet from entering into a catastrophic nuclear winter. In order to save civilization you must first destroy it.
It’s as good an excuse as any for blowing things up. As a pilot in the Blast Corps explosive weapons unit, you’ll be given access to a range of interesting mission-specific vehicles. Some of the vehicles are self-explanatory: the RamDozer is a bulldozer used for ramming and the BackLash is a dump-truck that is most effective when its backside is slid into a building. There are also robots. Most memorable is the J-Bomb robot – fitted with a jetpack and the ability to drop from above buildings, the J-Bomb is capable of demolishing whole sections of buildings in a single drop.
Typically the level structure doesn’t vary too wildly. You escort each carrier down their pre-destined path, demolishing the buildings marked with arrows. Once it reaches the explosives experts at the end of the path, you’re taken to a performance review screen and awarded a medal based on several factors. If your performance was unsatisfactory, you can return to the level and without the transport no longer being a concern, destroy the remaining buildings off the beaten path. There’s really no reason for destroying them, but you’re a hero and can rack up inconsequential sums of money (used only for score) for each structure dropped. There are also quite a few communication beacons spread throughout each course that are registered as they’re driven over, survivors whom are rescued from the buildings by the Blast Corps chopper, and numerous vehicles scattered about the levels for you to jump into. In-between all the escort missions are time trials. They serve as formulaic lap-based races, complete with ghost data.
At these times, it seems like Rare may have been in the process of cooking up a R.C. Pro-Am-esque isometric racing game with weapons and realized that by making these weapons the primary focus, a much more interesting result could be achieved. That’s how I imagine it coming together anyway, as Blast Corps bears a striking resemblance to Rare’s aforementioned NES racing series. It pays homage to this formula, while establishing its own identity in the process.
The controls for each vehicle are appropriately loose for the lighter cars and tighter for the heavier ones. While the core concept here is that of a puzzle game, the gameplay is drawn out through various racing/action-adventure elements. Sometimes that works in its favor, providing tense situations where there’s a clear win/lose situation and a short window to clear out huge fields of buildings. It’s consistently fun throughout, with the incentive of returning to levels to achieve maximum ranking likely keeping obsessive-types busy for days on end.
One of the main problems with Blast Corps is the BackLash vehicle. It’s not very well communicated exactly what portion of the backside needs to slam against a building for it to crumble inward, or how to maximize bumps in the environment to send yourself hurling on top of a building. Maybe it’s that all of the BackLash’s mechanics are displayed in an early tutorial and it felt unfamiliar by the time I needed it again, but the vehicle has always felt unwieldy to me. This makes one of the levels (Diamond Sands) a chore that falls somewhere between daunting and seemingly impossible.
There isn’t a lot to complain about in Blast Corps. Despite being criminally under-rated in contrast to Rare’s lineup of other Nintendo 64 releases, this 1997 nuclear puzzler happens to rank amongst the developer’s best work. It’s got a lot of installed nostalgic appeal, both in the perspective, unwavering attention to placing action over story, and the terrific visual presentation. This is the sort of concept you’d wish more developers would pay attention to. The fact that it never tries to be anything more than a game is refreshing. There are some great ideas in Blast Corps; it’s one of the few relatively unpopular Nintendo 64 releases that are worth your while.
