I don't pretend to understand how the Universe was formed, with all the attendant questions that tend to give me the willies. This story is fascinating, about astronomers on Hawaii apparently glimpsing some of the first stars ever formed. That's a look back in time of 13 billion years, when the Universe was about 500 million years old.
One day, we'll see the Big Bang itself. And that's when my poor little head will explode.

I quit covering doctor’s ass sometime around 1995. Before that it was part of my pharmacist DNA. I just did it. If the doctor made a mistake, I quietly got him on the telephone and we very quietly corrected the problem. In the beginning, my standard fix-it line to the patient was:
“The doctor has decided this is a better choice. Can I deliver this new drug to you and pick up the old one?” I was good at smoothing it over, like the pharmacist’s vanilla frosting on the doctor’s shit pie. ”No, don’t worry, just don’t take anymore of the first drug.”
An extreme example, but it actually did happen a few times that the bad drug got out of the store and into the patient’s medicine chest. Usually, there was an uncomfortable nagging feeling that began a few hours after I filled the Rx. I’d do my research and BINGO. The dummy did it again. Usually, one of a small coterie of doctors who buried their mistakes.
1971. The doctor was in the habit of prescribing tetracycline 250 mg qid with the added insruction “Take with Milk”. I never put that on the label, but finally had enough. My mood that day was dark and I was pissed off so I took it out on the doctor. I called and told the maternal-acting receptionist that I would not leave a message. ”Just et the doctor”.
He made it to the phone and I went off. ”You can’t order tetracycline to be taken with milk. What are you thinking, man?” This was still the hippie generation. Everybody was man.
“You can’t call me MAN.”
“Okay, Doctor Prince. I’m Mister Plagakis.”
“Plagakis. That’s Pee Ell Aye Gee Aye Kay Eye Ess. Plauh Ga like in gas kis.”
“Oh, I always order milk with antibiotics. It prevents stomach distress.”
“It also prevents the drug from working.” I explained. I will tell your patients to always avoid milk or calcium-containing products with tetracycline.”
He got all flummoxed to the point of stuttering. ”You can’t do that. That is interference with the doctor/patient relationship.”
“So sue me.” That evening I put a package insert from an Achromycin V box in the mail with the milk warning highlighted. ’Take with milk’ was missing from his tetracycline prescriptions after that.
I still covered his ass. Patients were never made to know of their doctor’s stupidity unless the doctor refused to fix the problem.
What put me over the edge and caused me to never, ever again cover for the doctor was the 1995 incident. The patient was an elderly woman. It was Friday. She was very ill and had been sitting in the waiting area for an hour. The doctor told her that she would have to promise to take the medicine exactly as prescribed or she would have to be hospitalized. Her daughter and son-in-law were with her. They were from out of town and had taken Friday off to be with her. They planned on staying the weekend to make sure she followed the doctor’s orders. The problem was there were NO orders.
She was a 30-something internist. Her husband was a 40-something psychiatrist. They had a three bedroom ‘cabin’ on the water over on the Olympic Peninsula. The two of them and their 2 kids were taking a 4 day weekend. They took a nanny with them. The husband and wife were looking forward to some tender hours at Sol Duc Hot Springs at the olympic National Park. She had forgotten to call in the prescription.
We didn’t get her nurse on the phone until around 3:00 PM. To make this horrible story short, the nurse could not help because the doctor had not completed her charting. The doctor left orders not to be bothered and she was so serious about it that she and her husband had turned off their phones and had left them in the glove box in the car. they were primed ready for a red-blooded American family weekend.
The patient was admitted to the hospital around 6:00 PM and the new doctor had to start from scratch.
I got a call from from the first doctor on Monday evening. She was all over me. I was having none of it. I told her that she had screwed up. I told her that her nurse could have gotten on her horse and drove over to the ‘cabin’, but she had snickered at that idea. I asked her why she wasn’t talking to the daughter or the new doctor.
The new doctor was unavailable and the daughter refused to talk with her.
She gave up her ‘I-Am-The-Doctor Act’ and sounded so pathetic at this point that I took pity. ”Better get your attorney involved,” I said.
“Because they have. I am being deposed on Wednesday about this. “
“What does deposed mean?”
“They will ask questions and I will answer them truthfully. I believe your attorney can be there.” I remember pausing. ”Not getting the needed antibiotic in a timely manner did cause harm. Financial harm and physical harm. The daughter is really pissed off and she is going after you like the Indians went after Custer.”
A very long pause. Her breath was coming in gasps. ”Are you okay?”
“No, I am not okay. I am a doctor, not an attorney.” Another long pause and then the statement that caused me to go telephone postal. She added, “I believe that I DID call in the prescription. You lost it or something.”
“And you are fucking crazy, Doctor, if you think you can make that fly. Do you know how easy it would be for me to have PacTel give me a list of the source of every single incoming call from Friday? Take responsibility like an adult. Call your lawyer.”
She hung up on me and I decided right then that I would never again cover any doctor’s ass. After that, whenever there was a problem that caused harm, I went into full disclosure mode directly to the patient. I took names of nurses and receptionists and gave them to patients with the advice, “Give these names to your attorney.”
I felt much better after that. I even took that course with PBM Prior-Authorization Agents. I know that it is really not a pharmacist’s job to go after Prior Auths, but there have been times when I believed that it was important.
I remember asking the name of A PBM CPhT who was refusing the Prior Auth. She was uppity and in charge, she thought.
I said, “This patient, your client, is standing right in front of me with a puddle of blood around her feet. There is blood running down her leg. I am going to tell her, Brenda, that you have refused to authorize payment for the drug that can stop the bleeding because it is expensive. I am going to advise her to give your name to her lawyer. I will suggest that your name be on the lawsuit.
She asked me to wait for her supervisor. I said, “No, I am not waiting for anyone. Do NOT put me on hold.”
The Supervisor came on the line in about 2 minutes. I asked her name and she ignored that request. However, she gave me the Prior Auth number with PRN refills for 6 months.
There are times, you guys, when you just gotta go out there and be Wonder Woman or Bat Man. It is actually fun and the reward is enormous self respect. Yes, I did that. I made a difference. I fought the system and I won for the patient.”
I got a little off the track at the end, but contextually it is all the same.

Stories about "prohibited weapons":
A man who admitted to growing 62 cannabis plants and having illegal guns on his Georgica property – but denied selling the drug – will face a hearing in September.
Police say they seized more than quarter of a kilogram of ice from two passengers attempting to depart on a flight from Ballina Airport yesterday. In an unrelated incident, police in Goonellabah made more arrests after smelling cannabis coming from a parked car.
Police continue to make inquiries after they searched a number of properties in the Tweed Heads area on Thursday, resulting in a haul of cannabis, cocaine, steroids, prohibited weapons and cash.
Tweed Shire Councillors have rejected a proposal by the NSW government, that would reduce the ability of local councils to collect infrastructure contributions from developers.
Cr Cadwallader has taken advantage of a local government rule allowing councillors to reintroduce a failed motion without having to wait three months if they have the signed support of at least two other councillors.

- Fabric painter’s pen or thin nozzle bottle with fabric ink.
- Roller and or stiff paint brushes
- Iron to set the paints
We cut out a few lino stamps (use the free stencil download at the end of the post for ideas) and used them to cover large sections of unbleached calico.
Here’s how to make a stamp and print ~
- Draw or trace a clear fairly simple image on a piece of lino or any rubber stamping material.
- Use a permanent marker and cover the pencil lines and the areas to keep for the stamp.
- Using a carving set, carefully carve around the black pen marker lines. Use a rubber mat and always teach your children to cut away from their hands!
- Mount your stamp, if you wish. Glue your stamp on to a recycled wooden block, or use those fancy clear acrylic stamp mounting blocks, or use thick pieces of foam.
- Paint on to your stamps. We used acrylic paints and fabric paints and dabbed the raised area of the stamp. We found that our roller did not give us as clear a print as our paintbrush. Experiment on scrap material first and see what works for you!
- Press the painted stamp down firmly and evenly on a flat surface.
- Lift carefully, avoiding the edges of the stamp block touching the fabric.
- Let dry.
- Iron to set the paint
Be creative and print using other objects! I printed sections of fabric using interesting “non-arty” utensils ~
- Bottle caps
- String wrapped around a stick glue
- End of a wooden spoon
- Potato masher
For my French patio theme I selected just 2 blues; a clear turquoise and navy blue.
Once I had printed my fabric pieces, I hand painted the other pieces with simple patterns; simple stripes, dots, crosses.
To make up the runner:
- Once the paint has dried and ironed to heat-set, cut the fabric into + 25cm (10″) strips.
- Cut the strips into random blocks. Generally I cut the different areas of patterns apart and left some larger printed pieces.
- Sew these blocks randomly together into 2m long strips I alternated my blues.
- Join the 2 long strips together to form the full runner.
- Add backing fabric if you want to. (My runner is not backed yet in these photos.) You will need fabric the same length and width as your runner. Pin the right sides together and stitch all the way around, leaving about 10cm opening so that you can turn the runner the right sides out.
- Fold the edges of the turned opening and top stitch the gap closed, continuing top-stitching all the way around the runner.
- Or if you simply sew a runner without backing fabric, overlock the edges , fold over and sew a neat hem around the entire runner.
- Press with an iron.
Now, I didn’t stop here! I added 2 more elements ~
We had such fun making this and I was so happy with the runner!

A new report on targeted killing by C.I.A. drones in Pakistan’s tribal area concludes that the strikes have killed more civilians than American officials have acknowledged, alienated Pakistani public opinion and set a dangerous precedent under international law.
The report, by human rights researchers at the Stanford and New York University law schools, urges the United States to “conduct a fundamental re-evaluation of current targeted killing practices” including “short- and long-term costs and benefits.” It also calls on the administration to make public still-secret legal opinions justifying the strikes.
Human rights groups have previously reached similar conclusions, and the report draws heavily on previous reporting, notably by the Bureau for Investigative Journalism in London. But the study is among the most thorough on the subject to date and is based on interviews with people injured by drone-fired missiles, their family members, Pakistani officials, lawyers and journalists.
Research is difficult on the ground in Pakistan’s dangerous tribal regions, where militant groups are situated and most drone strikes occur, and the law school teams did not visit them. They did, however, meet in Pakistani cities with 69 people who had been injured in strikes, witnessed strikes or surveillance drones, or had relatives who were witnesses. The report includes excerpts from interviews with a dozen witnesses.
Sarah Knuckey, a veteran human rights investigator who led the N.Y.U. team, said she was particularly struck by the pervasive anxiety that residents of the tribal area described as a result of hearing drones buzzing overhead and knowing that a strike could come at any time. She said Pakistani journalists and humanitarian workers who work in the area described the same fear.
She also noted the pattern of second drone strikes after initial strikes, evidently targeting rescuers and relatives responding to a site. One humanitarian organization, which she said the authors agreed not to name for security reasons, told them its policy is to wait at least six hours after a drone strike before visiting the site.
American officials, including President Obama, have strongly defended the drone strikes, arguing that the remotely piloted aircraft are by far the most precise weapon for eliminating terrorists. They have said that both militants and Pakistani officials have exaggerated the number of civilian deaths.
Many experts on Al Qaeda believe that the strikes have hugely weakened the core Qaeda organization in Pakistan, though some believe that the backlash against the strikes has probably drawn some new recruits to the terrorist network. Many military experts support the government’s claim that using conventional airstrikes or troops on the ground to attack terrorist compounds would be likely to kill far more civilians than the drones have.
The full report, “Living Under Drones: Death, Injury and Trauma to Civilians from U.S. Drone Practices in Pakistan,” whose main authors are Ms. Knuckey, from N.Y.U., and James Cavallaro and Stephan Sonnenberg, of Stanford, and an accompanying video by the filmmaker Robert Greenwald, can be found here: livingunderdrones.org/.

Hives are a common occurrence, affecting up to 25% of the population at least once in their lives. They can be short term, lasting only a few days to six weeks, but they can be chronic and last for months or years. Chronic hives can be especially frustrating for patients. They may or not be related to an allergy. In some cases the cause is never identified.
There are three principal classifications:
TYPE 1: ACUTE URTICARIA
Acute hives can appear at any age, but they are most commonly seen in young adults. The rash has very itchy red areas with white raised central circles that resemble mosquito bites. If the welts grow very large, spreading and joining together or swelling downward deep into body tissue, then they are known as giant hives or angioedema. Angioedema is painful and unsightly, but it is not as itchy. With angioedema the eruptions become large enough to cause swelling of the eyelids, tongue, mouth, hands or feet. In severe cases, hives can be accompanied by other symptoms such as difficulty in breathing, difficulty swallowing, digestive upsets and fever. Hives can occur internally to produce swelling of internal organs. .
Hives can be caused by an allergic reaction to foods, drugs, insect bites, infections or substances which can cause other allergic reactions. However not all cases are caused by allergy; frequently they are caused by viruses. It can sometimes be extremely difficult to find the cause. Triggers include medications, food, viruses, latex, heat, cold and direct exposure to sun. If the cause is known, the trigger should be avoided.
Since hives can come and go so swiftly, a very significant percentage of cases are never accurately diagnosed. The hives can appear and disappear without any explanation of what caused them or cured them. Skin testing may be used in finding the source of infrequent hives; a detailed history is usually more rewarding. The patient can record everything that was ingested or touched for the 24 hours prior to the outbreak and bring this to the physician.
Treatment of acute hives:
- Avoidance: If the cause is found, then it should be removed from the environment or diet.
- Medications: Topical ointments can be applied to the skin to relieve the itch. Antihistamines will reduce the itching and swelling. Cortisone drugs used as an ointment or given by mouth may be needed.
- Immunotherapy: Allergy shots help only if a person has hives because of what they breathe. These people can be successfully desensitized. Cross reacting proteins from inhalants that are also found in foods can help drop the degree of reactivity to those foods.
Hives can look ugly and are unbelievably itchy, but they are not in themselves dangerous. However, if you have hives and other symptoms such as dizziness, vomiting, diarrhea, difficulty in breathing, difficulty swallowing or faintness, these are signs and symptoms of a much more serous reaction - anaphylaxis. Anaphylaxis is life-threatening! If you experience hives plus one or more of these other symptoms soon after eating or being injected with a substance that you do not usually use, OBTAIN MEDICAL HELP IMMEDIATELY.
TYPE 2: CHRONIC URTICARIA
When a person has had hives for over six weeks, they are termed chronic urticaria. Many experts believe that acute and chronic urticaria are no different except for duration. Some studies indicate that allergy is less likely to be an underlying factor in chronic urticaria. Since in 80 per cent of the cases of chronic urticaria the underlying cause is never found, not many conclusions can be made.
Discovering the exact cause of chronic urticaria is often extremely difficult. If the hives occur daily, they are most likely caused by something that you are exposed to daily. In that case, it is easier to see the cause/effect relationship. Sometimes it is several hours after exposure before the itching begins. In that case, some real detective work will be needed to find the culprit. These are the things to consider in order of importance: foods, drugs, infections, inhalants, and psychological factors.
To diagnose chronic hives the doctor will first make sure that the hives are not caused by infection or an underlying disease state. However, in the evaluation of patients with chronic urticaria, it is their history which is the most important diagnosis tool. The physician will look for clues regarding drug or chemical exposure, changes in dietary habits, changes in personal habits, alterations in residence or place of employment. She/he will also look for a pattern such as: Is there a relationship to eating? Does the patient wake-up with hives? Are they as likely to occur at home as at work/school? Are weekends or weekdays different in any way? The physician will often place a patient with chronic urticaria on a diet to see if elimination of the hive-trigger will bring relief. It is important to see a doctor before going on an elimination diet. Systemic diseases should be ruled out with this appointment. Sometimes these diseases can cause hives that are painful or burning in nature.
TYPE 3: PHYSICAL URTICARIA
Typically, acute and chronic display round or oval hives, occur over virtually any part of the body and last for hours or days. There are others forms of urticaria which show up in lines or odd shapes, appear on specific parts of the body and appear then disappear within two hours. This is urticaria which is triggered by a physical cause. There are several possible causes:
- Pressure Urticaria
Pressure hives produces deep and painful local swelling. The swelling can occur immediately or several hours later. This type of urticaria can be triggered by prolonged sitting. It is also triggered but the wearing of tight clothing and consequently is seen in areas such as the waist/belt line, under elastic bands such as panties, socks or wristbands. Choosing appropriate clothing and/or taking regular breaks from sitting, usually controls pressure urticaria. If medication is needed, steroids are usually administered for a short time.
- Cold-induced Urticaria
Cold-induced Urticaria is a disorder in which hives occur within minutes of being exposed to the cold or appear as a result of the effects of warming. Total body exposure to cold, such as swimming in frigid water can result in a drop in blood pressure, fainting, shock and drowning.
Dermographism literally means skin writing. Scratching the skin will produce a raised mark and redden the surrounding skin. It is easy to test. Simply use a moderately sharp object, such as a fingernail or a key, and run it over the skin. If a recognizable patter is used in testing, such as a name or the game of X’s and O’s, it is a form of physical urticaria which is easily identified.
This phenomenon usually occurs only in young adults and gradually disappears. An antihistamine will alleviate any associated itchiness.
- Solar Urticaria
In this rare form of physical urticaria, hives occur after exposure to the sun or to certain artificial light sources. It is believed that the condition is an allergic reaction to an antigen formed by the interaction of light waves on the skin. Antihistamines are helpful to relieve the itch.
- Heat Urticaria
There are two forms of heat urticaria. The more common form is also called cholinergic urticaria or generalized heat urticaria. In this form, it occurs when the body temperature is raised such as in a hot bath or shower, from a fever or exercise. The outbreak begins with a few small hives and gradually become more widespread. If the reaction is very severe, the wheals will run together, leading to a drop in blood pressure and loss of consciousness. Cholinergic urticaria is helped by antihistamines given regularly in severe cases or intermittently upon exposure to milder cases.
The other form of heat urticaria is a very rare form in which welts develop within minutes at the site of locally applied heat, such as a hot water bottle or heating pad. Allergy does not appear to be a factor in this form of urticaria. Elimination of exposure to such items should control condition.
There are many patterns of hives with different underlying causes. In order to cope with urticaria, it is important to understand exactly which form of urticaria exists because the treatment is directly affected by the diagnosis. It is important to note that there are other skin conditions due to allergy, one of the most common being eczema or dermatitis. Moreover, allergic skin conditions are common and plague people the world over, but not all skin problems are allergic in origin. See a qualified medical physician for diagnosis and treatment.

Trying to defuse concerns of members of Congress who said the president broke the law by not giving them advance notice of the agreement, Obama told a news conference in Warsaw: "Regardless of the circumstances, whatever those circumstances may turn out to be, we still get an American soldier back if he's held in captivity. Period. Full stop."
Top White House officials also tried to tamp down outrage in the Capitol by calling key lawmakers to apologize personally for failing to fill them in on the administration's plans before last weekend's prisoner swap.
Obama said the five Afghans released into the custody of the Gulf emirate of Qatar would be closely monitored there. Under the terms of the deal that freed 28-year-old U.S. Sergeant Bowe Bergdahl after being held for five years, the Taliban leaders must remain in Qatar for a year.
A senior Gulf official said on Tuesday the men had been moved to a residential compound in the capital, Doha, and can "move around freely within" Qatar.
The White House tweaked some Republican lawmakers for their criticism. It pointed reporters to Senator Kelly Ayotte's remarks two weeks ago urging the Pentagon to "redouble its efforts" to return Bergdahl to his family and Senator John McCain's comment in February saying he might support a prisoner swap.
Lawmakers from both political parties are concerned about the terms of the prisoner exchange, questioning how closely the released Taliban leaders would be monitored and whether it would set a precedent. The five Afghans had been held at the much-criticized U.S. military base of Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, and Congress is required to be given 30 days notice for any transfer of prisoners from there.
Senator Richard Durbin, the chamber's second-ranking Democrat, emerged from a meeting with White House Chief of Staff Denis McDonough and presidential adviser John Podesta saying there were questions about the required 30-day notification.
Durbin also said, "until I know the circumstances in Qatar, it's kind of hard" to give an opinion about the prisoner swap.
HAGEL INVITED TO HEARING
California Republican Howard "Buck" McKeon, chairman of the House Armed Services Committee, said on Tuesday he had invited Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel to testify on June 11 at a hearing on the Taliban detainee transfer.
House of Representatives Speaker John Boehner endorsed a call for congressional hearings to look into the administration's handling of the exchange, as did Majority Leader Harry Reid of the Democratic-dominated Senate.
Reid said he had been told Obama did not violate the law requiring 30-day notice of Congress before transferring Guantanamo prisoners, but Boehner said the "administration has invited serious questions into how this exchange went down."
An aide said the first call from the Department of Defense to Boehner came at 11:52 a.m. EDT on Saturday, when the news was already being made public. The caller acknowledged that the administration's action was inconsistent with the law requiring a 30-day notification.
But Senator Carl Levin, the Democratic head of the Senate Armed Services Committee, said the president put Congress on notice on Dec. 23, 2013, that he would "act swiftly" regarding detainee transfers if necessary.
"Given that notice, members of Congress should not be surprised that he acted as he did in the circumstances that existed," Levin said.
Bergdahl is in a military hospital in Germany, undergoing physical and mental assessments. Obama said Bergdahl was not being interrogated by military authorities and had not yet seen his family.
Bergdahl's release has unleashed criticism from former comrades about the circumstances of his disappearance and capture. According to some online accounts of soldiers, Bergdahl left his unit quietly, without his flak jacket and heavy fighting equipment. Several soldiers were killed in searches for Bergdahl, according to some of these accounts.
The Pentagon has said it was unable to confirm media reports that six troops died in searches for Bergdahl. It said the circumstances surrounding his June 2009 disappearance were unclear.
"We believe he walked off. But without intent, it is impossible to prove desertion," said one U.S. official, speaking on condition of anonymity. The official said an investigation would have to determine the matter.
After Bergdahl failed to show up for roll call, U.S. officials picked up radio communication between Taliban insurgents who said "an American soldier with a camera is looking for someone who speaks English," according to U.S. diplomatic cables.
Josh Korder, a former U.S. Army sergeant who served with Bergdahl, told NBC he was "quite upset" about the sergeant's release because his unit had worked hard to track down Taliban leaders like those released in exchange for him.
"You're just going to let these guys go for somebody you're already saying you know walked away?" Korder said on NBC's "Today" program. "That's just not right."
Facing a flood of questions, the U.S. Army said on Tuesday it would further investigate, but not until after the initial stages of the reintegration process.
"Our first priority is ensuring Sergeant Bergdahl's health and beginning his reintegration process. There is no timeline for this, and we will take as long as medically necessary to aid his recovery," Army Secretary John McHugh said in a statement.

When I’m on the beach, I sometimes feel a ‘tap-tap-tap’ of vibrations underneath my paws! It’s like a pitter-patter of morse code twitching the ground under all the washed up seaweed! Some of my doggie friends on the beach, along with myself, believe it is a necessary and worthy doggie mission to discover the truth behind these noises and little movements!
Anyway, one morning, enough was enough. I had to find out what was going on and who was responsible for making these sounds of the underground?!
Poodle girl Cleo, who shares my ‘mega’ interest in solving this mystery, joined me on my ‘dig’n’search’ quest.
Cleo makes a start on the beach area behind me.
Let Operation ‘dig, dig, dig’ commence…
Where are these noises coming from?
Just a little deeper…
Got to keep going..must be getting closer! Keep going Cleo!
The noises have stopped!
I can’t hear anything!
Cleo has come back informing me nothing happening and situation negative her side of the beach. It seems to have gone all quiet my end too…huff!
Operation ‘dig, dig, dig’ postponed until next time!
To be continued…Over ‘n’ out!

THE life-saving efforts of the Hampshire and Isle of Wight Air Ambulance (HIOWAA) have been boosted as it can now carry blood supplies on board all flights.
The air ambulances are now able to store blood in the helicopter at the required temperature by using technology first used by the British military in Afghanistan.
The most common causes of death for seriously injured patients before reaching hospital are problems with getting oxygen into the lungs or significant blood loss.
Air ambulance paramedics were previously unable to replace blood lost from wounds or internal bleeding before reaching hospital.
The blood on board will be type O negative — also known as the “universal donor” — as it is safe to give to any patient.
It will be packed into a cool box and electronically scanned to record patient details.
A unique patient wrist band will then be printed from the box to ensure the hospital team knows blood has been given.
The blood will be transferred from Southampton General Hospital to the HIOWAA’s air base in Thruxton every 48 hours.
Dr Liz Shrewy, a major trauma anaesthetist at Southampton General Hospital, said: “Having blood on board takes us a step further towards bringing the hospital to the patient in the first crucial minutes after serious injury.”

Fri 14 May 2010
In an interview that Jay Electronica did with Spine (see below), Jay revisited his opinion that the New York hip hop scene has often underestimated and snubbed Southern lyricists, while “biting our slang.” More specifically, he singled out a 2007 Urb Magazine interview in which RZA said: “How has the South dominated hip-hop for the last four, five years without lyrics, without hip-hop culture really in their blood?…”
That sparked debate with fans, as well as a strong reaction from Hot97’s DJ Kay Slay on Thursday. (via twitter: “This jay electronica dude gettin real disrespectful towards Newyork niggas these days.. if he hates us so f—n’ much why does he rap like us.”)
Later that night, Jay responded on Angela Yee’s Lip Service show. (“Is what I’m saying true or false?….I’m on a mission from almighty God. So I don’t owe none of y’all no explanation.”)
And right after that, Kay Slay responded to the response to a response to a reaction to a comment…on his Hot97 Drama Hour show.
Note: this is a conversation that happens in every group of hip hop fans, it’s joked about in private at every record label, grumbled about at every radio mixers meeting, and divides the know-it-all’s in every blog comment section. But the most common misconception is that the debate is about North and South. Those words are just catch-alls. Like the way “urban” was/is. But when painting with too wide a brush there is misdirected splatter. Do you think RZA was talking about Andre 3000? Or was he thinking about Dem Franchise Boyz? Does Jay Electronica think all New York hip hop fans don’t respect T.I. or Bun B? Does Kay Slay like every Southern song that’s hot in the clubs? Probably not. When someone makes a generalization, I save myself the stress by taking it with a grain of salt.
Listen to Jay Electronica’s comments, DJ Kay Slay’s comments, and watch the Spine interview that sparked it, and more…after the jump…
Jay Electronica on Lip Service: “Mr Kay Slay I got love for you, I got respect for you as an elder and a brother but if you got an issues with me, hit me up, or ask me, don’t just fire off shots on twitter, I’m a grown man….check me on the facts, is what I’m saying true or false? If I’m saying New York n—s was calling southern rappers lame and then jacking our slang, is it true or false? If Im saying there’s there’s n—s in the south that could burn n—s up here alive, is it true or false?….I’m on a mission from almighty God. So I dont owe it to none of y’all no explanation…I got love for New York. People got issue with the shit that I said about RZA in the interview. In “the Ghost of Christopher Wallace,” I say, “the game ain’t been the same since BIG died, and Wu swarmed on New York from out that beehive.” I could quote you all the RZA lyrics from those days….I’m sick and tired and fed up of having to explain myself. Stop being sensitive. Grow some f– nuts and be a man. I’m not gonna get on interviews, I’m not gonna kowtow and be shuckin’ and jiving, and if you don’t like it, then take me up on it and I’ll address it with you…”
AUDIO: DJ Kay Slay’s Drama Hour on Hot97
DJ Kay Slay: “So I got an opinion, I wasn’t really feeling the way he was talking….he got real angry and aggressive…Imma state the facts, homie. This is New York City, right? And this is my stomping grounds…Dog, since you came in the game the first line you said in your song was New York cats were sayin this about us before and I could bring these 5 artists that can’t nobody up North do nothing with. Whatever happened in the past happened, and the South is eating now and you got on, why you keep bringing up old foolishness and keep throwing New York [in it]. You’re naming TI, no artist can deal with him, Ludacris, Bun B, 8Ball and MJG….I’m takin it offensive [sic], because when Ludacris first came around before his album came out, he came to MY crib to freestyle. T.I., he came to my crib to freestyle, I deejayed for him on BET, his first time around. 8-Ball, first time he came to NY, I took him through Harlem. So you using people that’s doin’ their thing, like nobody in NY supported the South, like everybody was dogging them. That never was the case, yo. Back in 2003-2004, my second album first single was with 36 Mafia, in a video. So whoever you angry at, you need to direct that towards them. But you keep saying New York and you don’t owe any explanation. Yo, pa, if I go in the South, the Midwest, or the West Coast talking crazy, and somebody asked me, ‘Yo what you meant by that?’ Yeah, I do owe them explanation. In New York, you do owe explanation, cuz this is our stomping ground. You a guest here….you pay respect here, dog. You can’t stomp through New York kicking over no buildings like we soft, ain’t nobody soft….I got respect for you as an artist, we need lyricists…but the way you was talking, I seen your aggression. Yo, son, I’m aggressive too. And I got ‘knowledge of self’ too….so lets keep things real hip hop and real nice….my whole thing is, you had opinion, and I had opinion, I wanted to know why you said that… I can name 5 rappers from the street, Cory Gunz, Joell Ortiz, Serius Jones, Papoose, Jadakiss, don’t be naming people like I can’t put cats on a stage with a clock and shut things down….I spoke my peace, bloggers y’all have y’all fun…this is hip hop, I ain’t sending no messenger, I aint wish him no harm…” [missinfo note: clearly, at around 3am, I was just sleep-transcribing like a madperson. smh]
Jay Electronica on SpineTV: “[New York] really s–t on Southern rappers, we got dudes out here who will burn these n— completely to ashes, me being one of them…Bun B will eat these dudes alive. Devin Dude, Dre 3000, DOC is from Dallas, 8Ball and MJG, T.I., who’s seeing T.I.? Who’s seeing Ludacris?…so I still got crumbs on my shoulder, had a chip on my shoulder but now it’s just crumbs…please forgive me anybody if you were offended, if you in New York, but if the truth hurts, ya’ll shouldn’t been saying all that dumb s–t…Particularly, RZA, I love RZA and the WuTang but he said some real ridiculously stupid thing about the South….something to the effect of, the lyricism and the quality of music, which is fine… But when you start talking about intelligence levels, which is very disrespectful, like you country, you slow, you unintelligent. But if all these buildings fall down today, you gonna have to eat tomatoes that this man grew…you the one that really don’t know nothing….Peace on RZA and he had a great effect on me….but RZA you said some crazy wild s–t…so I put it in a record, called “I Feel Good.” “We taught you how to build a label while you was whining bout the points on your contract, black.”…[missinfo note: see above missinfo note]
2007 RZA quote in Urb Magazine that Jay was referring to:
“How has the South dominated hip-hop for the last four, five years without lyrics, without hip-hop culture really in their blood? Those brothers came out representing more of a stereotype of how black people are, and I think the media would rather see us as ignorant, crazy motherfuckers than seeing us as intelligent young men trying to rise and take care of ourselves.”
Note: Clearly, there is mutual respect all around here. So this will probably get smoothed over by saying it was really just a “vocabulary rap” vs. “traptivity rap” debate. But you know I’ve always been against that debate too. High art, low art, alternative, mass, mental, physical, backpack, club….the generalizations obscure the basic question: is it good at what it’s supposed to do?

She met me at my apartment to get a sense of my style and what I was looking for. I had looked at her website and admired her "nature" line. On the spot she sketched a rough draft of iris and roses, not even knowing that iris are my favorite flower!
Form and function.

I have bought an htc 8x about 1 month ago.
But i have a big problem, my phone have randomly reset issue.
There is a randomly reset problem with this device that should be solved by software update. But update didn't solved my issue.
It cause when i am calling or in standby. I guessed that the cause of reset is the sim-card or network, and i ghanged my sim-card and carrier but not solved. So, i guessed that the problem is by network totally, and i removed my sim card and started device without any simcard. But reset occurs randomly.
So, i have not another idea to fix this problem. It is good to know htc have not free warranty and services in my country due to embargo(IRAN).
I'm very sad for this issue.
THINK THAT THIS PROBLEM OCCURS FOR YOUR DEVICE AND LET ME KNOW HOW TO FIX IT, PLEASE.
So if it is possible, mark this threat as important admin. please....

Stars from the fashion world, Hollywood, and the art scene came together in LA on Saturday night at the MOCA's Artist's Museum Happening. The evening was sponsored by Chanel Fine Jewelry, and the design house dressed starlets including Mila Kunis, as well as BFF and Baby costars Rachel Bilson and Kate Bosworth, and Kirsten Dunst for the event. Gwen Stefani also wore Chanel as she walked the carpet hand-in-hand with Gavin Rossdale. Rachel Zoe arrived fashionably late with her own husband, Rodger Berman, and sparked a new round of pregnancy rumors in a dress that appeared to show off a small baby bump. Her former co-worker, Brad Goreski, chatted on the way in, saying that since he and the superstylist have gone their separate ways, he's taking advantage of being his own boss by hitting the gym any time he wants. Stay tuned to today's PopSugar Rush for even more interviews and highlights from the soiree!
To see more from the event, just read more.

The University of Oregon moved up in the rankings — jumping six rungs to No. 109 on the list of about 1,376 colleges nationally.
And Christian Whithol of the RG reports on still more good financial news for UO: Eugene’s latest city subsidized student rental – aimed at some pretty well off students:
The company, which has been promised a $4.55 million property tax break by the city, has submitted new and more detailed plans that show a wealth of upscale amenities for the 139-foot-high building. They include a pool and hot tub on the roof and, on a lower story, a fitness and leisure complex that would feature another hot tub, golf simulator, billards room, piano room, steam room, two tanning rooms, a sauna, yoga room and lounge.
According to Zillow, rents in Eugene are well below the levels in our competitor college towns such as Boulder, Seattle, Phoenix, and LA. In contrast to those towns, the increase in the supply has kept rents level in Eugene, despite the increase in the number of students. The new construction coming on line this fall should lead to rent decreases – judging by the reports of unhappy local landlords.
Because parents look at these rankings and at total cost of attendance, this means that UO has plenty of room to continue out-of-state tuition increases, while staying competitive for students.
So expect another round of raises for UO central administrators, as soon as the faculty and SEIU sign their contracts.

I am excited to show off the newest QCR Pattern - DECO FLORA!
The inspiration for this quilt came from visiting the botanical garden on the mall in Washington DC. It was on a hot day in June 2011 that we found ourselves wandering into this great escape from the heat. The garden is luscious, beautiful, and serene.
Every spot was filled with interesting plants and design elements. That is what I tried to recreate in this quilt design.
This pattern is great for using all those wonderful big print floral fabrics that are so easy to fall in love with. I used a great Amy Butler purple dot for the background fabric. The quilting highlights the floral fabrics with a modern feather and my favorite background back-and-forth filler.
I designed this quilt to have that very chic bohemian feel which goes great with many interior design elements. This pattern also has a bonus table runner!
It is available on paper and as a pdf pattern. Don't forget to buy your QCR today for 20% of regular price. You can buy it here.

No Worries: Environmentally Friendly and Quality Hot Tubs in Vancouver
The City of Vancouver is committed to becoming more environmentally friendly, with its Greenest City initiative helping individuals, as well as the city as a whole, to save energy. How does owning a hot tub fit in with joining the green movement? Most modern manufacturers of hot tubs understand that users want to enjoy a therapeutic water massage or relaxation with friends and family without worrying about the cost to their wallet, or to the environment. The most obvious area of concern for hot tub owners is the energy used to heat the water. Modern hot tubs are designed to heat up quickly and retain heat efficiently. By insulating the plumbing system, and recycling the heat energy created by the pump motors, the cost of heating can be kept low.

SAN JOSE — A fire that started on a balcony spread through the rest of a second-story apartment near San Jose State on Saturday afternoon, but it appeared no one was home when it broke out, firefighters said.
The one-alarm fire was reported just after 3 p.m. in the 500 block of South Fourth Street, between William and Reed streets and a block south of the campus, San Jose fire Capt. Rob Brown said.
Firefighters arrived quickly and put the fire out in about 20 minutes. Brown said no one was home in either of the building’s two upstairs units and that the fire was corralled to a single apartment, which sustained significant fire damage.
No injuries were reported. Brown said the fire appears to have originated on a left-side balcony but that an exact cause was under investigation.

Love is in the air. It’s time to choose that perfect wine for a special night. Stella Rosa knows Valentine’s Day. These wines are ideal for celebrating love, friendship, and good times.
I’m more of a dry wine kinda girl, but these wines definitely kept it refreshing and exciting with a semi sweet taste.
Stella Peach is a Moscato-based blend infused with natural white and yellow peach flavors. It’s a semi-sweet and lightly sparkling wine that will leave a delicate flavor on your palate and nose
From the village of Santo Stefano Belbo in Piedmont comes our delicious original Stella Rosso, a refreshing semi-sweet red wine best served chilled and accompanied with fresh fruit and cheese
Moscato D’Asti is a “semi sweet” wine made from the Moscato di Canelli grape from the Piedmont region of Italy. Sweet but not overly sweet with just enough bubbles. Great as an aperitif or with light meals. Refreshing taste with a clean finish.

If any of you have been following my life for the last few days, you know that I really, REALLY needed something to do to take my mind off my troubles. And even though my woes are theatrically based, it still figgers that with a one-track mind like mine, it would be theatre that helped make them go away, at least for a few hours…whatever works, right?
I lucked out and found out about a show only a day or two before it went up, making it the first new production to launch in Ottawa 2014 (that I know of, and I know very little, folks), and at the cozy little Avalon studio in the Glebe at that. A pleasure to return to that lovely space, so after milling about for a few hours after work, I made my way up to the show, and was greeted by a mightily packed house indeed. In January? Ottawa, sometimes you surprise me in good ways.
After making my way to one of the few remaining seats, I settled in for the start of Joan Macleod’s SHAPE OF A GIRL, being put up here by Cart Before the Horse Theatre and director Paul Griffin. The company’s mission statement is to explore the ‘authentic teenage voice’, and they achieve their goal in damn-near terrifying fashion in this show. Based around a real life 1997 event where a young girl was bullied, beaten and murdered, this show follows tough-talking Braidie (Megan Carty) as she argues with her Mother, hangs with her clique, and joins in the fun as her galpals make the merciless teasing of hanger-on Sophie their life’s work. It all starts off so innocently, really, until alpha gal Adrienne decides that someone in the group just NEEDS to be the target of all the scorn. Poor Sophie draws the short straw, and what follows is a dismal, rather horrifying and painfully real look into the classist world of teenage high school girls, a hostile microcosm that makes gang warfare look like Sunday school at times.
Paul Griffin makes full use of the great Avalon studio space with some solid staging, and occasionally bloody clever touches. Briadie is followed throughout the story by an omnipresent chorus (Shawna Della-Ricca, Christa Anguelova, Caitie Campo, Laurel Moyse, Noah Booniv, Jordyn Lewis, Keira O’Shea and Nicole Ormerod) who, aside from embodying her classmates and other characters, also each become Sophie at a different age, from 8 to 15. It’s a great flourish, and they do a fantastic job, really bringing a richness to the show. And Megan Carty (who I caught a couple years back as Ophelia in Kanata Theatre’s ROMEO AND JULIET, I do believe) is just a stunner as Braidie, pulling off a seriously impressive performance in this challenging, 80 minute show. This year has gotten off to a solid star, show-wise, and I’ve already got my first pick for fav’rit performance of 2014.
This is a tough show and no fooling…bullying is a trigger issue for a lot of us (I know I found my knuckles clenching at some of the scenes), and the team pulls it off in style without compromising any of the nitty-gritty. Thought-provoking and all that good jazz…check it out. I’m glad I made it out…even if I did leave without realizing there was an opening night reception that I totally missed out on. Heads-up next time guys, geez! I like to mooch as much as the next guy, after all. But seriously, thanks for the awesome distraction…I needed that. Peace, love and soul,
Kevin Reid, the Visitor (and Winston)

It truly is an enormous company, that has been around for a long time, has a huge online reputation, and also is certainly one of the top options when it pertains to webhosting (most definitely within the top 3, at least in my book).
Yet what is it specifically, and should you get its solutions?
Today, I will certainly answer all there is you need to know, provided that you are a blog writer or an entrepreneur who is searching for a webhosting, as well as does not know where to get going, considering that it’s a wonderful solution for that audience in general.
Let’s envision, you wish to host your websites and also make them noticeable. Okay?
You currently have your domain (which is your website destination or LINK) and now you wish to “transform the lights on”. Wix Built Site Hosted On Bluehost
You need some holding…
To complete every one of this, and to make your web site noticeable, you require what is called a “web server”. A web server is a black box, or gadget, that stores all your internet site information (documents such as photos, texts, video clips, links, plugins, as well as other info).
Currently, this server, needs to get on at all times and also it needs to be linked to the net 100% of the moment (I’ll be stating something called “downtime” in the future).
In addition, it also needs (without getting as well fancy and right into information) a file transfer protocol commonly known as FTP, so it can reveal internet internet browsers your web site in its intended form.
All these points are either costly, or call for a high degree of technical skill (or both), to develop and also preserve. And you can absolutely head out there and also find out these points by yourself as well as established them up … but what regarding instead of you acquiring as well as keeping one … why not just “renting out hosting” instead?
This is where Bluehost is available in. You lease their web servers (called Shared Hosting) and also you introduce a site utilizing those web servers.
Considering that Bluehost keeps all your documents, the business likewise enables you to establish your material monitoring systems (CMS, for short) such as WordPress for you. WordPress is a super prominent CMS … so it simply makes good sense to have that alternative readily available (virtually every organizing firm currently has this alternative also).
Simply put, you no longer need to set-up a server and afterwards incorporate a software application where you can construct your content, separately. It is currently rolled right into one package.
Well … picture if your web server remains in your home. If anything were to take place to it in all, all your documents are gone. If something fails with its inner processes, you need a technician to repair it. If something overheats, or breaks down or gets damaged … that’s no good!
Bluehost takes all these headaches away, and deals with whatever technical: Pay your server “rental fee”, as well as they will deal with everything. As well as as soon as you purchase the solution, you can after that start concentrating on including web content to your site, or you can put your effort right into your advertising and marketing projects.
What Provider Do You Receive From Bluehost?
Bluehost supplies a myriad of different services, however the primary one is hosting obviously.
The organizing itself, is of various kinds by the way. You can rent out a common server, have a committed server, or likewise a digitalpersonal server.
For the objective of this Bluehost evaluation, we will certainly concentrate on organizing services and also various other services, that a blog writer or an on-line entrepreneur would need, rather than go too deep right into the bunny opening and also speak about the various other solutions, that are targeted at even more knowledgeable individuals.
- WordPress, WordPress PRO, and shopping— these organizing solutions are the plans that allow you to hold an internet site utilizing WordPress as well as WooCommerce (the latter of which allows you to do e-commerce). After buying any one of these bundles, you can start constructing your website with WordPress as your CMS.
- Domain name Marketplace— you can likewise acquire your domain name from Bluehost instead of other domain registrars. Doing so will make it less complicated to direct your domain to your host’s name web servers, considering that you’re using the same industry.
- Email— once you have actually purchased your domain name, it makes good sense to also obtain an e-mail address connected to it. As a blog writer or on-line business owner, you ought to pretty much never make use of a free email solution, like Yahoo! or Gmail. An e-mail like this makes you look unprofessional. The good news is, Bluehost offers you one free of cost with your domain name.
Bluehost also uses committed web servers.
And also you may be asking …” What is a committed server anyhow?”.
Well, the important things is, the standard host plans of Bluehost can just a lot web traffic for your site, after which you’ll require to upgrade your holding. The reason being is that the usual servers, are shared.
What this means is that one web server can be servicing 2 or even more websites, at the same time, one of which can be your own.
What does this mean for you?
It indicates that the solitary server’s resources are shared, and also it is doing several jobs at any type of given time. As soon as your website starts to hit 100,000 website gos to each month, you are going to need a specialized web server which you can additionally receive from Bluehost for a minimum of $79.99 per month.
This is not something yous ought to stress over when you’re starting out however you need to keep it in mind for sure.
Bluehost Pricing: How Much Does It Price?
In this Bluehost review, I’ll be focusing my attention mostly on the Bluehost WordPress Hosting packages, because it’s one of the most prominent one, as well as likely the one that you’re searching for and that will certainly match you the best (unless you’re a huge brand, company or website).
The 3 available strategies, are as complies with:
- Standard Strategy– $2.95 per month/ $7.99 normal rate
- Plus Plan– $5.45 monthly/ $10.99 regular rate
- Choice Plus Strategy– $5.45 per month/ $14.99 normal cost
The initial rate you see is the price you pay upon subscribe, and the second cost is what the price is, after the first year of being with the firm.
So generally, Bluehost is mosting likely to bill you on a yearly basis. And also you can likewise choose the quantity of years you intend to host your site on them with. Wix Built Site Hosted On Bluehost
If you select the Standard plan, you will pay $2.95 x 12 = $35.40 starting today and also by the time you enter your 13th month, you will now pay $7.99 per month, which is additionally billed per year. If that makes any kind of feeling.
If you are serious about your site, you need to 100% get the three-year option. This suggests that for the fundamental strategy, you will certainly pay $2.95 x 36 months = $106.2.
By the time you strike your 4th year, that is the only time you will pay $7.99 each month. If you think about it, this strategy will certainly conserve you $120 in the course of three years. It’s not much, but it’s still something.
If you intend to obtain greater than one internet site (which I extremely advise, and also if you’re significant, you’ll possibly be obtaining even more at some time in time) you’ll wish to utilize the choice plus plan. It’ll enable you to host unrestricted websites.
What Does Each Strategy Deal?
So, when it comes to WordPress hosting strategies (which resemble the common hosting plans, however are more tailored in the direction of WordPress, which is what we’ll be concentrating on) the functions are as follows:
For the Standard plan, you obtain:
- One website only
- Protected web site by means of SSL certification
- Optimum of 50GB of storage space
- Cost-free domain for a year
- $ 200 marketing credit scores
Remember that the domain names are bought individually from the holding. You can get a totally free domain name with Bluehost right here.
For both the Bluehost Plus hosting and Choice Plus, you obtain the following:
- Limitless number of web sites
- Free SSL Certification. Wix Built Site Hosted On Bluehost
- No storage space or data transfer limit
- Cost-free domain for one year
- $ 200 advertising and marketing credit report
- 1 Office 365 Mailbox that is free for thirty days
The Choice Plus strategy has actually an added benefit of Code Guard Basic Alternative, a back-up system where your data is conserved and replicated. If any type of accident occurs and your web site information goes away, you can restore it to its initial form with this attribute.
Notification that despite the fact that both strategies set you back the very same, the Option Plan then defaults to $14.99 each month, normal cost, after the collection amount of years you have actually selected.
What Are The Advantages Of Using Bluehost
So, why pick Bluehost over other web hosting solutions? There are thousands of webhosting, much of which are resellers, but Bluehost is one pick couple of that have stood the test of time, and it’s most likely the most well known around (and for good reasons).
Here are the 3 main benefits of choosing Bluehost as your host provider:
- Server uptime— your internet site will certainly not show up if your host is down; Bluehost has greater than 99% uptime. This is extremely crucial when it pertains to Google SEO as well as positions. The higher the much better.
- Bluehost speed— exactly how your server response determines how fast your site shows on a web browser; Bluehost is lighting quick, which indicates you will decrease your bounce rate. Albeit not the very best when it comes to loading rate it’s still hugely important to have a fast rate, to make individual experience better as well as much better your ranking.
- Limitless storage space— if you get the And also plan, you need not fret about the number of files you save such as videos– your storage capability is unlimited. This is actually vital, since you’ll most likely run into some storage issues later down the tracks, as well as you do not desire this to be a hassle … ever.
Lastly, customer assistance is 24/7, which suggests regardless of where you remain in the globe, you can speak to the support team to repair your internet site problems. Pretty common nowadays, but we’re taking this for granted … it’s likewise extremely important. Wix Built Site Hosted On Bluehost
Additionally, if you’ve gotten a free domain with them, then there will certainly be a $15.99 cost that will be deducted from the amount you originally purchased (I visualize this is since it kind of takes the “domain name out of the market”, not exactly sure regarding this, but there most likely is a hard-cost for registering it).
Last but not least, any kind of requests after one month for a reimbursement … are void (although in all honesty … they should probably be rigorous right here).
So as you see, this isn’t always a “no questions asked” policy, like with a few of the other hosting alternatives around, so make certain you’re alright with the plans before proceeding with the hosting.

After revealing Ajay Devgn’s look, the makers of Tanhaji: The Unsung Warrior have dropped the new poster of the film, which features Saif Ali Khan as a terrifying villain Udaybhan. In the image, we see Saif Ali Khan in a menacing avatar holding a sword with intense kohl eyes. Ajay Devgn shared the poster on his social media account and captioned it, “Udaybhan Ke Darbar Mein Ghalati Ki Maafi Nahi Sirf Sazah Milti Hai… #TanhajiTheUnsungWarrior, in cinemas 10th January 2020.”
Talking about his character, Saif Ali Khan earlier said in an interview, “Udaybhan Singh Rathod, a great warrior who works as a mercenary for the Mughals, is not your regular baddie but the doomed Shakespearean hero who ends up on the other’ side. Even in Amar Katha comics, he comes across as a cool dude, the kind Johnny Depp has brought to the screen.” Tanhaji: The Unsung Warrior marks the reunion of Ajay Devgn and Saif Ali Khan after 2006’s Omkara. The posters have raised our excitement and now we are anxiously waiting for the trailer of the film, which is set to release on November 19.
Tanhaji: The Unsung Warrior marks the directorial debut of Om Raut. Made on the lavish budget of Rs 150 crore, it is one of the ambitious projects of Ajay Devgn. The period film also stars Kajol in a lead role. Tanhaji: The Unsung Hero is scheduled to hit the screens on January 10, 2020, and will lock horns with Deepika Padukone starrer Chhapaak, which is directed by Raazi helmer Meghna Gulzar. (IANS)

Research Article | Open Access
Rokia Ghchime, Halima Benjelloun, Hajar Kiai, Halima Belaidi, Fatiha Lahjouji, Reda Ouazzani, "Cerebral Hemispheric Lateralization Associated with Hippocampal Sclerosis May Affect Interictal Cardiovascular Autonomic Functions in Temporal Lobe Epilepsy", Epilepsy Research and Treatment, vol. 2016, Article ID 7417540, 7 pages, 2016. https://doi.org/10.1155/2016/7417540
Cerebral Hemispheric Lateralization Associated with Hippocampal Sclerosis May Affect Interictal Cardiovascular Autonomic Functions in Temporal Lobe Epilepsy
It is well established that the temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) is linked to the autonomic nervous system dysfunctions. Seizures alter the function of different systems such as the respiratory, cardiovascular, gastrointestinal, and urogenital systems. The aim of this work was to evaluate the possible factors which may be involved in interictal cardiovascular autonomic function in temporal lobe epilepsy with complex partial seizures, and with particular attention to hippocampal sclerosis. The study was conducted in 30 patients with intractable temporal lobe epilepsy (19 with left hippocampal sclerosis, 11 with right hippocampal sclerosis). All subjects underwent four tests of cardiac autonomic function: heart rate changes in response to deep breathing, heart rate, and blood pressure variations throughout resting activity and during hand grip, mental stress, and orthostatic tests. Our results show that the right cerebral hemisphere predominantly modulates sympathetic activity, while the left cerebral hemisphere mainly modulates parasympathetic activity, which mediated tachycardia and excessive bradycardia counterregulation, both of which might be involved as a mechanism of sudden unexpected death in epilepsy patients (SUDEP).
Temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) is well known to be associated with autonomic nervous system dysfunctions [1, 2]. Seizures alter the function of different systems such as the respiratory, gastrointestinal, urogenital, and, most importantly, cardiovascular system [1, 3, 4].
Autonomic cardiovascular functions are mainly regulated by cortical, midbrain, and brainstem areas [5, 6]. The vital cortical area is the insular cortex folding into the inner temporal lobe that is often dysfunctional in TLE. Lesions of the insular cortex are usually associated with abnormalities in heart rate (HR) and blood pressure (BP) regulation as well as with cardiac arrhythmia . In addition, mesiotemporal structures were reported to be involved in both epileptogenesis and autonomic control in animal models . Besides, several studies also indicate that the insular cortex and temporal lobe are powerful in the control of cardiovascular function in humans [7–10].
Hemispheric centers of autonomic nervous control show distinct modulation activities. For instance, while the right hemisphere modulates the sympathetic cardiovascular activity, the left hemisphere contributes more to the parasympathetic activity. These modulation discrepancies occur in various neurologic disorders, such as intracranial tumors, cerebral trauma, encephalitis, hemorrhagic or ischemic stroke, or epilepsy. In epilepsy patients, signs of autonomic dysfunction occur both interictally and ictally. During seizures, cardiovascular disturbances such as tachy- or bradyarrhythmia are frequent findings, indicating close interactions between epileptogenic brain areas and centers of autonomic control [11–13]. Supraventricular bradycardia has been highly reported in TLE with left HS compared to TLE with right HS and the tachycardia more reported in TLE with right HS compared to TLE with left HS, suggesting an increase of sympathetic cardiac activity caused by the right hemisphere innervations.
On that focus, our study is designed to compare the changes of heart rate (HR) and blood pressure (BP) in two groups of TLE, with right HS and with left HS to investigate the possible factors related to the structural characteristics of TLE, especially cerebral lateralization associated with hippocampal sclerosis.
2. Patients and Methods
This study was conducted between 2012 and 2015 at the Department of Clinical Neurophysiology and at the unit of autonomic nervous system (ANS) exploration at the Department of Cardiology A, University Hospital Center (UHC) Ibn Sina, Rabat, Morocco. It was approved by the Ibn Sina ethical committee. A written consent form was obtained from each patient before the tests.
Thirty patients with refractory temporal lobe epilepsy destined to surgery were recruited at the Department of Clinical Neurophysiology for pretreatment and diagnosis protocol, including clinical, neurophysiological, and electrophysiological examinations (video-EEG) as well as MRI and battery of tests for the assessment of cardiac autonomic functions. The study subjects have mesial temporal lobe epilepsy with complex partial seizures according to the classifications of the International League Against Epilepsy, 1981 and 1989. However, patients with lesions other than hippocampal sclerosis on cranial MRI; patients with EEGs within the last 24 hours showing interictal epileptiform discharges; subjects suffering from diseases other than epilepsy that are known to affect the autonomic cardiovascular system (renal failure, diabetes mellitus, and cardiopulmonary disease) were excluded. The following subjects were also expelled from our study: subjects diagnosed for psychiatric illnesses, or those with abuse of alcohol or smoking as well as patients breast-feeding, or in pregnancy [14, 15].
All patients underwent an autonomic cardiac function testing which is based on HR and BP responses at rest and after different stimuli. All tests were conducted under standardized conditions. The measurements were carried out in quiet room with an ambient temperature of 22°C between 9 and 12 a.m. Patients were asked to avoid taking any drugs other than their AEDs a week before the tests [16, 17]. The interval between the different tests was standardized so that the following test did not start until the HR and BP had returned to the baseline level after the preceding test. HR and BP responses at rest and after stimulation were recorded under the subsequent conditions: normal breathing, deep breathing, isometric work (hand grip), mental stress, and tilting. ECG was first recorded through the normal breathing. Consecutive RR intervals were measured from the ECG for a period of 5 min and the standard deviation of the intervals was employed as the test variable.
2.2.1. Deep Breathing Test
This test evaluates the autonomic function by measuring the changes of HR in response to controlled breathing [16, 18]. During the test of deep breathing (DB), patients were asked to breathe deeply at frequency of six breaths per minute. The respiratory frequency has an influence on the variation of RR interval on the EKG. The vagal response to the DB is calculated using the following equation: and are intervals obtained at the end of expiration and the end of inspiration, respectively.
2.2.2. Isometric Contraction or Hand Grip Test
During 3 minutes the subject carries out a manual pressure of 50% of the maximum using a dynamometer (Jetter and Scheerer, Germany) with his dominant hand and the maximum voluntary contraction (MVC) was calculated. BP was measured before and after contraction at 1, 2, and 4 min in the contralateral arm.
The muscular contraction involves an increase in BP related to a rise of sympathetic nervous system at the muscular level that is effort- and time-dependent [19, 20]. The peripheral sympathetic nervous response “” is given by the increase of the BP:
2.2.3. Mental Stress Test
The patient performs mental arithmetic calculations by removing the number 7 successively from 200. The result is an augmentation in HR and in BP by activation of the central sympathetic nervous system .
In mental stress, the central sympathetic nerves activities “” were assessed by measuring the changes of BP as follows [19, 20]: The central sympathetic nervous activity “” was assessed by measuring the changes of HR as follows [19, 20]:
2.2.4. Orthostatic or Tilt Test
The responses of HR and BP to quick postural change (from standing to supine position) were recorded. Systolic and diastolic BP were measured at rest and immediately after and during standing position. The difference between BP at rest and the lowest BP after standing was calculated [14, 22]. The assessment of peripheral sympathetic response beta is given by the following formula: In both orthostatic and mental stress tests, values above 10% correspond to sympathetic hyperactivity; a response equal to 10% is considered normal. However, patients with values below 10% are deficient.
2.3. MR Imaging
Patients underwent a standard MRI protocol that was carried out using a 1.5-T scanner (Philips Intera System). Imaging studies included (1) FLAIR, T1 IR, and T2 weighted hippocampal images, coronal oblique images perpendicular to the long axis of the hippocampus, with a 2 mm slice thickness and no intervening gap and (2) axial T1 and T2 weighted, coronal T2 weighted, and sagittal T1 weighted cranial images with a 5-mm slice thickness and 1.5-mm intervening gap [17, 18, 20].
Interictal EEG was recorded several times before the autonomic cardiac function testing, employing a video-EEG monitoring system (Micromed; Treviso, Italy); the electrodes were arranged according to the International 10-20 system. The duration of video-EEG monitoring varied from 2 to 7 days, and at least three habitual seizures were recorded for each patient.
Data were analyzed using the SPSS software (version 15.0; SPSS Inc., Chicago, IL, USA). The tests selected for the comparisons between the two studied groups, TLE with right hippocampal sclerosis and TLE with left hippocampal sclerosis, were the following: mental stress for the study of alpha and beta central sympathetic nerve activities; the hand grip of 3 min to assess the alpha peripheral sympathetic nerve reactivity; the orthostatic or tilt test of 10 min for the study of beta peripheral sympathetic nerve activity; and the deep breathing test for the study of vagal system. The values are expressed as average ± standard deviation.
The comparison of the results between TLE patients with right hippocampal sclerosis and TLE subjects with left hippocampal sclerosis was carried out by means of Student’s -test for paired samples. A value was considered significant.
4.1. Demographic and Clinical Features
Thirty patients were recruited in the Department of Clinical Neurophysiology and then addressed to the Unit of Cardiology A, Ibn Sina University Hospital, for performing cardiovascular autonomic test.
A clinical diagnosis and detailed medical history were carried out with special emphasis on types of AEDs taken, interictal EEG recordings, and cranial and hippocampal MRI. The epilepsy type was classified according to the recommendations of the International League Against Epilepsy (ILAE) [23–25].
The interictal EEG registration including T1 and T2 electrodes (International 10-20 system) showed interictal epileptiform discharges for all studied subjects, with 19 patients having left-sided temporal focal spikes and slow waves on the left in the EEG and 11 patients who had right-sided temporal focal spikes and slow waves on the right in the EEG.
The results of analysis on MRI in TLE patients showed 19 patients with left- and 11 patients with right-sided hippocampal sclerosis. Most of patients were under polytherapy with varying combination of two or three antiepileptic drugs, such as sodium valproate (VPA), carbamazepine (CBZ), lamotrigine (LTG), clobazam (CLB), clonazepam (CZP), and phenobarbital (PB). However, only five patients were taking carbamazepine (CBZ) and clobazam (CLB) as monotherapy.
As can be seen from Table 1, there is no significant difference between subjects with left hippocampal sclerosis and patients with right hippocampal sclerosis with respect to age, age of onset, and duration of epilepsy distribution ().
|Values expressed as mean ± SD. is significant if < 0.05. Student’s -test. |
SBP: systolic blood pressure; DBP: diastolic blood pressure; HR: heart rate; HS: hippocampal sclerosis; F: female; M: male.
Mean basal heart rate (HR) as well as diastolic blood pressure (DBP) did not differ significantly between the two groups. However, the mean basal systolic blood pressure (SBP) differs significantly between patients with left hippocampal sclerosis and patients with right hippocampal sclerosis.
4.2. Basal Heart Rate and Blood Pressure
Based on the measurement of basal HR variability in the two groups (TLE with left HS and TLE with right HS) at resting, patients are considered bradycardic if their basal HR is less than 60 beats per minute or tachycardic if their basal HR is greater than or equal to 85 beats per minute.
The occurrence of bradycardia is significantly higher () in TLE with left HS (57.9%) than TLE with right HS (27.27%) (Figure 1), while the prevalence of tachycardia was lower in TLE with left HS (5.2%) with respect to TLE with right HS (9.1%), without any significant difference ().
The normal values of basal HR are significantly higher () in TLE with right HS (63.63%) compared to TLE with left HS (36.9%) (Figure 1).
4.3. Vagal Response
The vagal response measured by the deep breathing (DB) test in TLE with right and left hippocampal sclerosis showed a higher parasympathetic activity in TLE patients with left HS (78.9%) than TLE subjects with right HS (63.6%). The difference between the two groups was statistically significant () (Figure 2).
In contrast, a low parasympathetic activity (9.1%) was found in TLE with right HS. However, no case was declared in TLE with left HS. The difference between the two groups was statistically significant (). A normal parasympathetic response was higher in TLE with left HS versus right HS. The statistical analysis supports such observation () (Figure 2).
4.4. Peripheral Sympathetic Response Alpha
The peripheral sympathetic response alpha assessed by the hand grip (HG) test in TLE with right hippocampal sclerosis and TLE with a left hippocampal sclerosis showed a significant elevated peripheral sympathetic response alpha in TLE with right HS (54.5%) compared to TLE with left HS (47.36%) (, Figure 3(a)), whereas we noted a deficient but not significant () peripheral sympathetic activity alpha in TLE with right HS (18.2%), as compared to TLE with left HS (15.8%). The normal peripheral sympathetic alpha response is slightly higher in TLE with left HS versus TLE with right HS. The statistical analysis supports such observation () (Figure 3(a)).
4.5. Peripheral Sympathetic Response Beta
The comparison of the peripheral sympathetic response beta obtained with the orthostatic test (OT) between TLE with right hippocampal sclerosis and TLE with a left hippocampal sclerosis reveals a high peripheral sympathetic beta response in TLE with right HS (72.7%) than TLE with left HS (31.6%). The difference between the two groups was highly significant () (Figure 3(b)). A low peripheral sympathetic beta activity (31.6%) was observed in TLE with left HS. However, there was no noticeable case in TLE with right HS. The difference between the two groups was highly significant (). Hence, the normal peripheral sympathetic beta response was found statistically () superior in TLE with left HS (36.8%) with respect to TLE with right HS (27.3%) (Figure 3(b)).
4.6. Central Sympathetic Response Alpha
The assessment of the central sympathetic response alpha by the mental stress test, in two groups of TLE, showed a similar high central sympathetic alpha response in TLE with right HS (63.64%) and TLE with left HS (63.16%) () (Figure 3(c)). Deficiency of central sympathetic alpha activity was observed in TLE with left HS (21.05%). However, no declared case was observed in TLE with right HS. The difference between the two groups was highly significant (). Normal response of the central sympathetic alpha system is significantly higher () in TLE with left HS (36.8%) compared to TLE with right HS (27.3%) (Figure 3(c)).
4.7. Central Sympathetic Response Beta
The central sympathetic response beta evaluated by the mental stress test, in two groups of TLE, showed a highly significant () elevated central sympathetic beta response in TLE with right HS (63.63%) as compared to TLE with left HS (31.59%) (Figure 3(d)). The same observation concerns the deficiency of central sympathetic beta activity, which was significantly important () in TLE with left HS (21.05%) with respect to TLE with right HS (9.1%), while normal response of the central sympathetic beta system was found to be significantly () higher in TLE with left HS (47.36%) in comparison to TLE with right HS (27.27%) (Figure 3(d)).
Through the present study we brought evidence of an association of hippocampal sclerosis with cerebral lateralization that may cause disturbances in parasympathetic and sympathetic autonomic functions during the interictal period in patients with TLE. According to our finding, we revealed profound changes in HR by means of cardiovascular autonomic tests in two groups of TLE that allowed us to identify cerebral lateralization in cardiac autonomic control. Most patients with left-sided temporal focus associated with left HS showed bradycardia, whereas a tendency to tachycardia has been more observed in patients with right-sided temporal focus associated with right HS. Such observation is still under the significance threshold probably due to the low number of sampled patients.
Such finding could be explained by analyzing the sympathetic and parasympathetic activities of the two groups, showing a highly elevated parasympathetic activity in TLE with left HS compared to TLE with right HS. Moreover, comparison of the sympathetic cardiac response between the two groups demonstrates an increase of peripheral and central sympathetic response alpha and beta in patients with right-sided temporal focus associated with right HS, contrary to those with left-sided temporal focus associated with left HS.
We then suggest a possibility of different contributions between the right and left cerebral hemispheres. The left hemisphere predominantly modulates cardiac parasympathetic tone, by increasing its activity, and consequently provokes bradycardia, while the right hemisphere predominantly modulates cardiac sympathetic tone, by increasing its activity, and accordingly causes tachycardia that fits previous studies [7, 11–13, 25, 26].
In another study of humans, Oppenheimer et al. showed that the electrical stimulation of the insular cortex was responsible for cardiovascular changes. Additional investigation showed that bradycardia was often observed during left insular stimulation, while tachycardia occurred during right insular stimulation . Furthermore, neuroimaging studies, animal studies, and clinical observations propose a hemispheric lateralization of parasympathetic or sympathetic cardiovascular control [7, 11, 12, 27–31]. However, results of diverse investigations are contradictory.
Many studies have demonstrated that the right hemisphere dominates sympathetic cardiovascular activity [7, 11, 12, 27–31]. Critchley et al. reported an association between arousal-induced sympathetically mediated skin conductance responses and activity predominantly localized in the right orbitofrontal cortex and the right anterior insula. A rise in regional blood flow in the right insular over stressful tasks associated with sympathetic activation using positron emission tomography was observed in healthy persons. Though, left insular activation concurred with BP and HR diminution during nonstrenuous tasks .
Contrary to the findings in healthy subjects, investigations in patients are more equivocal. Oppenheimer et al. reported on subjects with complex partial seizures right-sided dominance of sympathetic BP and HR modulation by intraoperative electrical insular stimulation. With seizure subjects incurring presurgical assessment, Zamrini et al. noticed a hastening of HR after left hemispheric inactivation during intracarotid amobarbital procedure. Likewise, Yoon et al. stated improved sympathetic HR modulation during left-sided intracarotid amobarbital procedure and inferred that there is right hemispheric lateralization of cardiac sympathetic control. Conversely, other authors observed a decrease of parasympathetic HR modulation after right hemispheric stroke [27, 32]. Robinson et al. stated a change in sympathovagal balance with elevated sympathetic activity after right hemispheric lesions in acute stroke patients. This result sustains the assumption of parasympathetic cardiac modulation in the right hemisphere.
Ansakorpi et al. recently showed by investigating the role of hippocampal sclerosis directly in patients with TLE that cardiovascular autonomic dysfunction tended to be greater in patients with hippocampal sclerosis.
Moreover, the cardioregulatory function is a continuously functioning network widely in the inner temporal lobes with various ascending and descending connections mediated by various biochemical neurotransmitters to other areas of the brain [10, 35]. The experimental and clinical data showed the important role of the insular and limbic structures, such as amygdala, in cerebrogenic cardiovascular disturbances in sudden unexpected death in epilepsy patients (SUDEP) .
The anatomic or functional infractions such as a neuronal loss and excessive inhibition may cause interictal hypometabolism. Strong projections from limbic to hypothalamic areas and link of autonomic brainstem nuclei to hippocampus suggest that alterations in hippocampal anatomy and/or physiology may provoke disturbances in the autonomic function in patients with temporal epilepsy .
In addition to epilepsy itself, the antiepileptic drugs may alter the cardiovascular system as well as the centrally mediated cardiovascular control system function. An interaction between cardiovascular disturbances and AEDs may also contribute as a mechanism of sudden unexpected death in epileptic patients (SUDEP) [38, 39].
The present study is of a crucial importance, since it brought evidence of a central implication in the sudden unexpected death in temporal epileptic patients. Thus, intracranial disorders associated with hemispheric lateralization, such as hippocampal lesions, are strongly linked to disturbed cardiac features causing bradycardia or tachycardia. Nevertheless, several hypotheses related to possible factors affecting interictal autonomic dysfunction in patients with TLE, factors other than the structural abnormality of hippocampal sclerosis, such as refractoriness and chronic nature of epilepsy, epilepsy itself, duration of epilepsy, drug effects, infrequent seizures, were suggested to be related. Thus, further studies are needed to investigate factors affecting autonomic dysfunction in order to understand and prevent SUDEP.

A man who says a large pavement "rut" caused him to tumble off his bicycle in Brookline is plumb out of luck trying to get somebody to pay for his injuries, the Massachusetts Appeals Court ruled today.
Tom Filepp sued what is now National Grid over injuries he says he incurred in 2005 when he tumbled off his bicycle due to a two-inch gap in the pavement on Harvard Street he says was caused by work by the company.
But Filepp did not submit a claim with National Grid until three months after his accident - or two months later than the 30-day deadline for filing claims set in state law.
Filepp actually filed a claim with the town of Brookline immediately after the incident, but the town waited nearly 2 1/2 months to tell him the crack was due to Keyspan, not anything it had done.
That's unfortunate, but not National Grid's fault, the court said, because the law leaves it up to the injured person to find the actual responsible party - and to be snappy about it.
Under the statutory scheme, the burden is placed on the party injured by reason of a defect in the way to ascertain promptly whether the defect may have been caused by a party (other than the municipality) who is "by law obliged to keep said way in repair." Though the time for such a determination is only thirty days, if there are practical reasons why the time should be made longer the appropriate body to consider and weigh them is the Legislature.

There were several parts of the song that I found especially meaningful -
...I don't take my life for granted
I'm gonna hold on tight
To what I've been handed
...I'll try not to complain
About the things I have lost
Cause when you have something great
That just means there's a greater loss
...So when you look at yourself
Tell me who do you see
Is it the person you've been
Or the person you're gonna be
...Why don't you hold on tight
To what you've been handed
Cause you just don't know how long you will have it.
That song was big nudge to me to stop thinking the way I have been thinking lately. I seem to be stuck in a dark place where I honestly can't picture what my life could possibly be like without Rudy. The song didn't take that feeling away, but it at least nudged me to try.
Once the song was over, I immediately questioned myself. Was this song really a sign? Or am I just so crazy that I'm seeing signs everywhere? Maybe I'm just grasping for something. If that's the case, then the very next song that played knocked me right over the edge.
There's a John Prine song that always gave Rudy a big chuckle. He always said he wanted it played at his funeral. We actually considered doing just that and most people who knew Rudy well would have gotten a kick out of it, but it wouldn't exactly have been in good taste. It's on one of Rudy's CDs, but hearing it on the radio is a pretty rare occurrence. It was the very next song that played. OMG.
So.... do I believe in signs? Yes I do. Call me crazy. I don't care. Rudy continues to make me laugh. Between tears.

Kids Lesson: The Hall of Faith (Hebrews 11)
The Hall of Faith (Hebrews 11)
God kept His promise to send the Messiah—His own Son, Jesus—to rescue people from sin. Jesus is the true hero of the Bible. He gives us faith. We can look to Him because in Him, all of God’s promises will come true.
The Lord Reigns
Come Ye Sinners

Let the heavens be glad and the earth rejoice, and let them say among the nations, “The Lord reigns!” - 1 Chronicles 16:31
Bible Story - The Hall of Faith
Bible Story Video
The writer of Hebrews explained that faith is being sure that what we hope for will actually happen. Faith is obeying God because we trust Him. By faith, we believe that God created everything from nothing, just by speaking! Many people in the Bible had faith, and this pleased God. Abel had faith when he gave an offering to God, and God accepted his offering. We must have faith in order to please God. By faith we believe that He exists and that He rewards those who trust in Him. Noah had faith too. He obeyed God by building an ark to rescue his family. Noah warned other people because he trusted that God was telling the truth when He said a flood was coming. God was pleased with Noah. Abraham had faith when God called him to leave his home. Abraham did not know where he was going, but he obeyed God. God made promises to Abraham, and Abraham believed that God was going to keep His promises. Abraham’s wife Sarah had faith. She trusted God to give her a family even though she was too old to have children. Sarah was 90 and Abraham was 100 when they had their son Isaac. Abraham and Sarah went on to have many descendants. God gave them a family as numerous as the stars in the sky. Isaac, Jacob, Joseph, and Moses had faith. Rahab had faith when she hid the Israelite spies in Jericho. King David had faith too. All of these people trusted God, and so did many others. Having faith was not easy. Many of these faithful people suffered, and they all died before God’s greatest promise—the arrival of Jesus—came true, but they believed that God had a wonderful plan. God was pleased with them because they trusted Him.
Christ Connection: God kept His promise to send the Messiah—His own Son, Jesus—to rescue people from sin. Jesus is the true hero of the Bible. He gives us faith. We can look to Him because in Him, all of God’s promises will come true.
Bible Story Summary
People who love Jesus live by faith.
Faith is when you believe something that you have not seen.
Many people in the Bible had faith and believed that God had a wonderful plan to send a Savior.
Name a time when you had faith— when you believed something you had not seen.
Who gives us faith?
Why is Jesus the only true hero of the Bible?
- Choose one of the people of faith listed in Hebrews 11. Research that person as a family by reading about him or her in the Bible.

Ask children, “If I said [scenario], then what would you do?” Guide children to play out their response. Use the scenarios provided or create your own scenarios that require faith.
There’s a wild lion on the loose! (run and hide)
There’s a parade outside our window! (go look)
There are cupcakes at the table! (sit at the table)
There’s a gift for you under the chair! (go to the chair)
There’s smoke near the ceiling! (drop to the floor)
We were just pretending together, but if there were really smoke in the building, you would have to trust me and do what I say to get to safety. When you trust that someone loves you and is telling the truth, you do what they say! God loves us and always tells the truth, so we can trust Him and do what He says. That’s faith! Listen to today’s Bible story to learn more about faith.
Elementary Discussion Questions
Help your kids find Hebrews 11. Ask the following questions:
What is faith? (being sure that what we hope for will happen, Heb. 11:1)
What trait tied all the Old Testament heroes together? (their faith, Heb. 11)
Are faithful people rewarded with happy, easy lives? (No, having faith isn’t always easy; Heb. 11:36-37)
What is the reward God gives for faith? Guide kids to see that God’s rewards are bigger than material possessions, fame, glory, or power. Instead, God promises eternal life with Him in the perfect world Jesus will bring when He returns.
Why is faith important? Help the kids understand that faith is the means by which God provides us salvation, grows us to be more like Jesus, and works His plans through us.
Who are people in your life who have great faith? Guide kids to think about the men and women they know who have demonstrated great faith. Direct them to consider their parents, the pastors and elders of your church, and the ministry leaders and volunteers they interact with each week.
Close with this: God works mightily through people who have faith in Him. God uses people even though He doesn’t need us. When we have faith, God gives us power through the Holy Spirit so that we can be a part of His mission to spread the gospel to all nations.

As are all aware, my garden got off to an extremely slow start this year. Just because I love my peppers by no means infers that I am a pepper gardening expert. This is my third year doing this and I learn something new every year. This years take away was be sure you garden is getting enough nutrients. If it is not then there are a whole host of things you can do. I stumbled across compost tea. About mid way through the season I was totally flummoxed as to why my plants were growing so slowly. I remembered a YouTube video that I had seen explaining how to nourish your garden with compost tea. I gave it a shot and it worked so well I shared the video with all of you in my post entitled The Compost Tea Miracle. The minute I started using that compost tea my garden started booming. However, I was afraid I figured it out too late.
I am happy to say my garden is doing well and it has been producing peppers for about two weeks now and they have been wonderful. I will even have enough paprika peppers to try my hand at making paprika from scratch. Some of those peppers are drying as we speak. That is a post I look forward to writing. The bell peppers look amazing, they have yet to change color, but there is plenty of time for that. The super hots on the other hand are just now starting to grow pods. If the weather holds for the next month I should be good to go, and I will have super hot pepper powder to add to most of my foods. There are so many foods that I cook over the winter that I can use these peppers to flavor. It truly is an amazing cycle, fresh peppers all summer and pepper seasoning all winter.
My new job has cut into my blogging time… for now. I am working shift work and I can never seem to get a solid schedule for writing. This coming January there is going to be a big lay off. I may end up having more time than I need. Lets hope it doesn’t come to that though. Always keep an optimistic out look in life. No matter what your situation may be, there is always a solution to be found.

SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) -- Northwest Airlines stock closed higher Monday after the airline's plans to combat a strike by its mechanics union apparently prevented widespread disruption of the carrier's service.
The Amex Airline Index ($XAL) rose 0.8% to 49.77 points.
Northwest Airlines NWAC rose 5.2% to $5.66. The airline's workers represented by the Aircraft Mechanics Fraternal Association went on strike early Saturday morning and remained off the job on Monday. See full story.
"We expect upcoming stock catalysts to be wage concessions from Northwest's [Professional Flight Attendants Association] and the [International Association of Machinists] unions," wrote Fulcrum Global Partners analyst Susan Donofrio. "We also think that upcoming pension legislation this fall is going to be another positive catalyst for Northwest."
Continental Airlines CAL, -0.97% lost 1.4% to $14.36.
AMR Corp. AMR, -0.23% parent of American Airlines, gained 0.7% to $13.88.
On the downside, Delta Air Lines DAL, -2.29% fell 6% to $1.41.
"We believe that the management of Delta has not given up on trying to avoid bankruptcy and is conducting last minute negotiations to avoid it," wrote Ray Neidl, Calyon Securities analyst, in a Monday research note. "However, continually climbing oil prices is making this task more difficult, if not impossible."
On Monday, crude prices held above $65 a barrel as traders fretted over production capacity. See full story.
JetBlue Airways JBLU, -2.34% rose 0.2% to $19.32.

ATLANTA — Humility is to Texans what wings are to fish. It does not exist. And given the events of the Democratic National Convention, it is a characteristic not likely to evolve in this millenium.
``We have been accused of being short on humility,`` said Lyndon Olson, co-chair of the Texas delegation, as he sat on the convention floor Wednesday. He spoke with a breezy lack of contrition.
``This sure isn`t helping it. Everybody`s got their chest puffed out.``
Wherever you look, from the presidential ticket to the speakers` podium to the platform committee, Texans and more Texans.
Sen. Lloyd Bentsen is the certain vice-presidential nominee. Ann Richards was the salty keynote speaker. House Speaker Jim Wright is the convention chairman. Jim Hightower, the state agriculture commissioner, delivered one of the week`s wittiest speeches. Former Congresswoman Barbara Jordan is scheduled to second the Bentsen nomination.
Male and female, conservative and liberal, black and white. All Texans.
``It has been a Texas convention, hasn`t it?`` said Linda Chavez-Thompson, a delegate from San Antonio, who was wearing a ``Viva Dukakis``
button. She giggled contentedly.
Even the ``Texas for Mike Dukakis`` buttons are in the state spirit. They are bigger than the other buttons.
Look across the Rio Grande that divides Republicans and Democrats, and there stands yet another Texan, George Bush, a guarantee that some of the great duels in the presidential showdown will occur in the Lone Star State. No longer can George Bush count on winning Texas as a native son.
And in the eyes of Texas Democrats, Bush is about as Texan as Mikhail Gorbachev.
``He lives in a $512-a-night plush suite in one of those Houston hotels,`` sniffed Chavez-Thompson.
Barbara Raesis, a Port Arthur homemaker, leaned across the aisle.
``We understand he`s lived in 35 different homes throughout the United States,`` she said.
Bob Neill, a lawyer from El Paso, looked up from a row below and added:
``Don`t forget, the only reason he came to Texas was because his daddy bought him an oil company.``
``And you know he has a burial plot in Maine?`` said Clare Giesen of Houston. ``In my opinion, you get buried where you think your home is.``
Chavez-Thompson delivered the cruelest blow: ``He doesn`t even talk like a Texan. He talks like a preppie.``
These are heady times for Texans. This week`s events mark a return to the glory days, when Texans chaired a dozen congressional committees, when Lyndon Johnson was president, when Sam Rayburn was speaker of the House of Representatives.
The names roll off the average Texas delegate`s tongue like romantic poetry. John Welton, a retired Air Force pilot, recited them: ``We had LBJ. We had Rayburn. We had Garner. . . .``
``You don`t remember (John Nance) Garner? V.P. under Roosevelt. What do you mean you weren`t born then? Well, I wasn`t born when George Washington was president, but there`s history books.``
To the Texas delegate, Texas history is as big as American history.
``We were a republic, we were a nation-state at one time,`` said Olson.
``There`s a certain myth, a certain persona to Texas. We want to be bigger than life.``
He gestured toward the 211 delegates` chairs in the convention hall.
``We`ve got everything,`` he said, ``Labor activists, black activists, farmers, ranchers, sheep and goat raisers, elected officials, cow and calf people.``
In recent years, he said, those groups have been fractious, but more recently, as the state tried to pull together after the economic travails of the oil bust, they have learned to cooperate.
``We fight like hell among ourselves,`` he said, ``but Texas has always had a tradition of coveying up. A covey of quail hang together. You`re out hunting quail, they scatter. Mama starts whistling and all the quail covey up. Texans are like that.``
The Texas delegates are proud not just of the prominence of Texans at the convention, but of the prominence of Texan talk.
``We want the world to know we`ve got some damn good speakers,`` said Lee Caraway, a Ft. Worth representative for a machinists union.
They proudly recall how Richards accused Bush of being born with a silver foot in his mouth, how Hightower called him ``a toothache of a man.``
Dick Arlington, an oilman from Houston, liked Hightower`s remark that you had to get the hogs out of the water for the water to clear up.
``Old Joe Lunchpail up there in Chicago`s gonna like that kind of talk,`` he said.

Demonbreun knows nothing about his birth parents. He was taken from an orphanage by the wizard, Madilck, as part of an experiment in nature vs. nurture. Could the mage raise a monstrous baby to be a civilized human?
Saddling the child with a name only a wizard could love, Madilck hired a nanny to raise the child and set about a rigorous educational process. Demonbreun grew quickly and showed a great facility for learning, but far less for application. A broad education taught him principles of magic, religion, woodcraft, etiquette, falconry, orienteering, riding, calligraphy, and combat. The only area in which he showed aptitude was the last; there he was a prodigy.
The wizard had more curiosity than care for his charge, and thought little of putting him in mortal danger to test a passing hypothesis. The main opponent Madilck used to teach his pupil was shambling undead — disposable, tireless sparring partners. Had Demonbreun not taken to swordplay so effortlessly, the putrid horrors would have overcome him. Instead, he learned to know and hate their ways.
Near Demonbreun’s adulthood, Madilck declared the experiment concluded, and unceremoniously dispatched Demonbreun from his demesne. With only one marketable skill, the young man fell into mercenary work.
When a job took him into the Core Lands, he encountered his childhood foes again en masse. He also found the loose affiliation of warriors known as the City Guard, who take the charge of protecting the lost cities and towns of the fallen Core Lands from their undead inhabitants. The City Guard wasn’t quite a calling, but it felt more rewarding that guarding merchants or legbreaking for loan sharks.
While doing reconnaissance on the necromancer Calamantus in the Fortress of Nekoloti, Demonbreun encountered a band of adventurers with similar goals. He’s fallen in with them.

A Liberal studies professor at New York University who had been on an anonymous crusade against political correctness and generation snowflake was forced to leave his job after a student newspaper revealed his identity.Like an apostate who has left Islam he has been hounded by the ” true believers ” who consider his different opinion to be both blasphemous and treasonous.
…Liberal studies prof Michael Rectenwald, 57, said he was forced Wednesday to go on paid leave for the rest of the semester.
“They are actually pushing me out the door for having a different perspective,”
…Rectenwald launched an undercover Twitter account called Deplorable NYU Prof on Sept. 12 to argue against campus trends like “safe spaces,” “trigger warnings” and other aspects of academia’s growing PC culture.
He chose to be anonymous, he explained in one of his first tweets, because he was afraid “the PC Gestapo would ruin me” if he put his name behind his conservative ideas on the famously liberal campus.
“I remember once on my Facebook I posted a story about a kid who changed his pronoun to ‘His Majesty’ because I thought it was funny,” he told The Post. “Then I got viciously attacked by 400 people…
On Oct. 11, Rectenwald used his Internet alter ego to criticize “safe spaces”..
…he posted on his “anti-PC” feed a photo of a flyer put out by NYU resident advisers telling students how to avoid wearing potentially offensive Halloween costumes.
“The scariest thing about Halloween today is . . . the liberal totalitarian costume surveillance,” he wrote.
“It’s an alarming curtailment of free expression to the point where you can’t even pretend to be something without authorities coming down on you in the universities,” Rectenwald told The Post.
But the Twitter feed soon sparked a “witch hunt” by the growing army of “social justice warriors,” he said. And so, when he was approached on Twitter by a reporter with the Washington Square News, NYU’s student newspaper, the untenured assistant professor agreed to an interview.
“I thought there was nothing objectionable about what I had said,” he told The Post.
“My contention is that the trigger warning, safe spaces and bias hot-line reporting is not politically correct. It is insane,” he told the student paper in an interview published Monday.
But Rectenwald says he began getting “dirty looks” in his department and on Wednesday figured out why: A 12-person committee calling itself the Liberal Studies Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Working Group, including two deans, published a letter to the editor in the same paper.
“As long as he airs his views with so little appeal to evidence and civility, we must find him guilty of illogic and incivility in a community that predicates its work in great part on rational thought and the civil exchange of ideas,” they wrote.
“We seek to create a dynamic community that values full participation. Such efforts are not the ‘destruction of academic integrity’ Professor Rectenwald suggests, but rather what make possible our program’s approach to global studies,” they argued.
Rectenwald likened the attack to “a Salem witch trial. They took my views personally. I never even mentioned them and I never even said NYU liberal studies program. I was talking about academia at large.”
The same day that letter was published, Rectenwald was summoned to a meeting…
“They claimed they were worried about me and a couple people had expressed concern about my mental health,” Rectenwald told The Post.
The leave has “absolutely zero to do with his Twitter account or his opinions on issues of the day,” said NYU spokesman Matt Nagel, refusing to elaborate on the reason.
But Rectenwald is disheartened.
“I’m afraid my academic career is over,” he said . “Academic freedom: It’s great, as long as you don’t use it.”

LECLERC, JEAN-BAPTISTE, king’s carpenter at Trois-Rivières; baptized 23 Aug. 1681 at Quebec; eldest son of Robert Leclerc (1653–1731), the king’s carpenter at Quebec, and Marie Jallais; d. 17 June 1739 at Trois-Rivières.
Leclerc moved to Trois-Rivières as a young man and there married Marguerite Pepin of Champlain on 10 Nov. 1704. Leclerc lived in the lower town and worked as a joiner, barn-builder, and house-framer. He took care of his aged father and acted as the latter’s attorney. Like many craftsmen, both father and son were illiterate.
Jean-Baptiste Leclerc had been employed on crown projects before his appointment on 21 March 1739 by Intendant Hocquart* as king’s carpenter in the town of Trois-Rivières. His official duties were to include the construction and maintenance of canoes and the heavy supply transports called bateaux du cent. He was to oversee the boatyard and personally to tour the forests to select and cut timber for the king’s works. It was also understood that he would do general carpentry and, should the need arise, erect the carcan and gallows for the punishment of criminals. Leclerc died soon after his appointment and his son, Jean-Baptiste Le Clair (b. 1711, fl. 1743), who was a land surveyor and carpenter, was named as his father’s successor.

The Unified Patent Court (UPC) has issued a statement that recruitment of UPC judges has been delayed in view of the result of the UK referendum on EU membership. Following the referendum result, it is unclear if or when the UK ratification required at present to bring the UPC agreement into effect will take place. As a result, the judicial recruitment process for the UPC has not proceeded to the next phase of calling candidates for interview. This delay is likely to remain in place until it is clearer when the UPC project might progress (with or without the UK).
The Opposition party in the UK parliament has recently submitted 170 questions to the Government regarding the UK 's exit from the EU. Two questions (nos 110 and 111) are included which relate to the UPC. Briefly, these are (i) will the UK ratify the UPC agreement and (ii) if the UPC goes ahead, will the central division of the UPC for Human Necessities remain in London? It is unlikely that the Government will provide a direct answer to these questions in the near future, but it does indicate that there is political awareness of the issue.
In a further development, legal advice has been sought from leading UK barristers about the future of the UPC and the UK 's role in it. The advice concludes on balance that legally it would be possible for the UK to participate in the UPC after leaving the EU, but the possibility of the CJEU reaching the opposite conclusion was not ruled out.
In practice, the UK 's participation would require the UK to agree to Chapter IV (Part I) of the UPC Agreement which provides for the primacy of EU law, which would appear to have been ruled out by Theresa May when she said that we are not leaving only to return to the jurisdiction of the European Court of Justice.

Hi everyone. I am new to the forum, I am learning to use the airbrush, I have a Crescendo 175 siphon, it works very well for backgrounds and somewhat large things, you can work with some detail as well. I would like to do things a little smaller and in detail, so I was thinking of an Iwata Eclipse HP-BCS, but studying the subject a little I see that it is similar to the 175 that I have, then I thought that an Iwata eclipse HP-CS would be better. Since I saw that the tip is 0.35, now I found a lot of good criticism that the GSI Creos Mr. Airbrush Procon Boy PS-289, is very good like the Iwata, but with a somewhat lower cost. Please can you help me understand it. And also know which of them you use.

Would I need to reset any of the modules after I reconnect the battery? I mean besides the obvious radio station presets and clock...

But disconnecting negative lead overnight certainly sorted out the drain. I think the old faulty battery going very low voltage confused all the control units.

Fall is here and the leaves are starting to change colors! This is a very important season for roof maintenance as you will be prepping your roof for the rigors of heavy ice and snow that winter brings. Now is the best time to get any roofing problems taken care of. Here are some roof maintenance tips to ensure your roof has the longest life possible.
You’ll notice the branches on your trees getting a little too close to your home for comfort once the leaves start to fall. Get these branches trimmed back so they don’t damage your home later. Done early enough, it may even minimize the leaves that clog your gutters!
Clogged gutters lead to water splashing back onto the roof, which can lead to cracking, mold, and other damage. Clean your gutters before the leaves start falling and keep an eye on them as fall progresses. Doing so will keep water flowing properly off your roofline.
Gutter Guard Installation
Installing gutter guards is a great way to make your fall maintenance chore list much easier to handle. These guards are installed on top of the gutters and keep leaves from falling in, while still allowing water to flow into them. This makes gutter cleaning a much simpler task!
Get a Roof Inspection
It is easier to repair any roofing problems during the fall than it is during the winter. So it is a great idea to have someone come out to perform a pre-winter roof inspection so any fixes can be made before the weather starts to turn. If you wait too long, you may be opening the door to bigger problems down the line.
Get Repairs Done Right Away As Needed
If the inspector finds that repair work needs to be done on a part of your roof, it is better to take care of it now rather than later. Small problems in the fall can transform into much bigger problems in the winter. Proper fall roof maintenance is the key to avoiding excessive repair costs down the road!

We have been very impressed with the exceptional and professional service you have given us. Over the years we have bought and sold eleven properties through estate agents, but none have come up to your standard.
Harry and Margaret P - Seller
We have bought a few properties now and would say that as an agent you genuinely excelled. You are the best we’ve dealt with. We were extremely impressed with your approach and you made us feel very much looked after.
Woody B - Buyer
I have been very impressed with all my dealings with KFH, both on the sales and lettings side. Friends of mine have also used other KFH branches and likewise they report you stand head and shoulders above the rest in terms of professionalism, integrity, market knowledge and customer service.
Lisa C - Landlord
I found you to be extremely diligent, pleasant and helpful to deal with. I found your work ethic to be exemplary, from understanding customer needs to orchestrating this complex transaction so well that we could exchange in six weeks.

Lying on one of Lake Michigan's shores is the charming summer destination of the region: Sheboygan, Wisconsin.
Dubbed as the Malibu of the Midwest, this city offers an array of nature and water-related activities comparable to that of the Californian beach city.
Hiking, surfing, exploring—the list is endless!
The town is also teeming with a rich history and colorful culture that are worth knowing and preserving.
So bring your family, friends, and kids, and have fun at this scenic and exciting destination.
Here are the 15 best things to do in Sheboygan, Wisconsin:
Ride the Freshwater Waves in Lake Michigan
Sheboygan has also earned the nickname “Fresh Water Surf Capital of the World” for a good reason.
Lake Michigan is known for its harsh winds, and the city just happens to be located in an area with long shores and big waves.
During late summer and fall, surfers flock to the city and ride the incredible swells brought about by storms forming over the lake.
If surfing is too intense for you, then paddleboarding on Lake Michigan and Sheboygan River is a great alternative.
During milder seasons, the calmer surfaces of these bodies of water are ideal for a thrilling paddling adventure with your friends.
Bring Your Kids at Bookworm Gardens
The Bookworm Gardens is a botanical facility with a theme inspired by famous children’s books.
It’s one of the most famous attractions in the area, so make sure to add this to your itinerary to see why it receives many visitors.
The young and the young-at-heart individuals will have a magical time exploring all the plant collections and gardens housed in whimsical structures.
With its landscape teeming with flowers and vibrant decor, the facility is also ideal for photoshoots.
So bring your kids to this enchanting destination and join them in fun!
Your inner child will thank you.
Take an Enchanting Tour at John Michael Kohler Arts Center
Lovers of the arts will have a grand time exploring John Michael Kohler Arts Center's galleries.
This museum houses contemporary art and artist-built environments, making the facility a one-of-a-kind destination in the state.
With the spaces filled with unusual but enchanting visual media, visitors will have an enthralling experience unlike any other.
On certain occasions, there will be performances, such as dance routines, theater plays, and concerts that showcase various forms of media.
There are also limited exhibits of the state’s most prolific artists, with some lasting for only a few weeks.
This nationally recognized visual and performance art complex is truly a must-add destination to your itinerary.
Kayaking in Sheboygan River
Sheboygan River snakes its way beyond the city proper and into wilder areas, creating great opportunities for kayaking.
Rent a kayak and prepare for an arm workout as you explore the river's winding waterways under the tunnels of trees and over serene—and occasionally turbulent—waters.
You’ll spot many aquatic life forms swimming under the depths, as well as local wildlife like birds and mammals.
Kayaking is also a relaxing activity for those who want to spend a peaceful few hours just floating on the river.
There are, however, certain areas with rapids where you’re going to get splashed and shaken.
Whatever your preference, make sure that it’s included in your tour to have a great experience.
Remember History at Sheboygan Indian Mound Park
The region once served as a home for nomadic Native American tribes, and their past records are now enshrined in sites like Sheboygan Indian Mound Park.
The destination is a 15-acre wooded area with effigy burial grounds found in few other places in the US.
Because of this status, the park was listed under the National Register of Historic Places in 1981.
You’ll find geometric and animal designs marking graves of long-gone people.
There is also an open mount exhibit that contains replicas of skeletal remains and artifacts from these indigenous groups.
It’s quite a grim but fascinating sight.
While there, you can also explore the nearby boardwalk trail and see the many plant species that are native to the area.
Try Shore Fishing at South Pier
While you could book a charter and head out to Lake Michigan, there is also another option that lets you catch the freshwater game fish swimming in the lake's depth.
Shore fishing is an alternative for those who do not have time to ride all the way to the middle of the lake and those who might have motion sickness.
One of the favorite local destinations for shore fishing is South Pier.
Fishing is allowed in other locations, such as parks, but South Pier has deeper waters where fish like carp, salmon, and yellow perch abound.
It’s also near outfitters where you can rent lines and other equipment.
So head on to the pier, and soon enough, you’ll catch something you’d be proud to bring home.
Bring the Family to the Sheboygan County Fair
Another favorite summertime festival of the city is the Sheboygan County Fair.
Held during the last weeks of August or the first weeks of September, this festival highlights the region's farming and agricultural heritage.
Locals and visitors will have fun watching cute animals races, meat sales, dog shows, tractor pulls, and other entertaining activities.
There will also be exciting carnival rides as well as tasty food that are stapled in country fairs.
For live entertainment, there are exhilarating track races and concerts by famous bands from all over the country.
Bring your whole family and experience this memorable event together!
Biking Around the City
Riding a bike is one of the best ways to explore Sheboygan's scenic roads.
It’s the perfect method for those who want a slower pace while still feeling the breeze rushing around them.
Because of the many trails in the parks around and within the city, biking is also an ideal mode of transportation to explore the city's natural features of these destinations.
One of the most famous biking routes in the city is the Interurban Trail, a 14-mile route that takes you to some of Sheboygan County's scenic coastline views.
You can bring your own bike, but there are many businesses within the city that offer equipment for rent.
While traveling, follow the road signs and watch for hazards like cars and wild animals that sometimes cross the nature trails.
Try Various Beachside Activities at Deland Park
For those who want a more action-packed experience than what Kohler-Andrae State Park offers, Deland Park is a great alternative.
It sits closer to the Sheboygan City proper, and along with that are many modern amenities and facilities.
Here, you’ll find green spaces, volleyball courts, play areas, fish cleaning stations, and boat ramps where charters usually launch their water vessels.
There is also a lakefront trail where you can take relaxing nature walks and a biking trail.
Perhaps the most striking feature of the park is the large beach with fine white sand.
It’s perfect for many fun beachside activities, such as making sandcastles, playing frisbee, and sunbathing.
The Sheboygan Breakwater Lighthouse is also visible here, so there are plenty of opportunities to take breathtaking landscape photos.
Play a Few Rounds of Golf
Sheboygan is a well-known golfing destination in this region, with about 16 courses within the city and surrounding areas.
Golfers of all levels will have a great time playing rounds in these green and well-maintained facilities.
Try The Bull, Whistling Straits, and Blackwolf Run courses for those who want to play professionally.
Harbor Pointe Miniature Golf and the nearby Riverdale Country Club Golf Course Bar & Restaurant are perfect for those who want to play recreationally and in a more relaxed setting.
All these locations have modern amenities and well-equipped facilities managed by friendly and professional staff.
So if you’re a golfing enthusiast, then make sure to add these places to your itinerary for Sheboygan.
Bring Your Kid to Above & Beyond Children's Museum
If the kids are coming on your getaway, don’t forget to bring them to the Above & Beyond Children's Museum.
This interactive and educational facility houses many engaging exhibits where kids can learn, create, discover, and socialize with others their age.
Some of the most well-loved exhibits in the museum are the Flight Site, Sky Crawl, Toddler Barnyard, and Festival Foods Fresh Marketplace.
Aside from learning about various topics, children will also enjoy the activities that take place regularly, such as music classes and storytime sessions.
The fun never stops, whether they are playing or learning.
Buy Fresh Produce at Farmer’s Markets
Experience Sheboygan's community spirit while browsing fresh and high-quality products at the city's farmer’s markets.
Several locations within Sheboygan hosts regular farmer’s markets, including Downtown Sheboygan, Plymouth, and SCIO Winter Farmers Market.
Aside from their nutritious fruits and vegetable selections, some stalls also offer freshly cut and fragrant flowers.
Bring home a bouquet and add vibrance to your interiors with these colorful blooms.
While at the farmer’s markets, take the time to get to know the locals and understand the agricultural practices and heritage that allowed them to harvest premium produce.
You’ll be surprised by the things you’ll learn and the new friends you’ll make!
Join the Outrageous Fun at Brat Days
Nothing says summer than a loud and bombastic sausage festival!
Sheboygan’s Brat Days is an August time event that is wildly known throughout the region.
People from all over the world come to the city to have fun, listen to music, and watch as the competitors stuff their mouths with as much Bratwurst sausage as they can.
Of course, you’re welcome to try these delicious cased meats, as there’s practically an unlimited supply during the festival.
Have them grilled, fried, stuffed in between buns—the people of Sheboygan have a hundred and one ways to prepare these beloved sausages.
There is also free music to accompany your meal, with Kiwanis Park serving as the venue for concerts by talented local and national bands.
It’s truly a one-of-a-kind experience in America’s Bratwurst capital.
Sit Back and Relax at Kohler-Andrae State Park
Established in the 1920s, this lakefront park offers a peaceful ambiance and panoramic vistas of Lake Michigan.
You’ll find long, golden beaches, majestic sand dunes, curious wildlife, and towering pine trees whispering as the fierce winds blow through.
Bring your family over to one of the many picnic areas scattered along the shores.
If you want to stay for a while longer, there are camping sites where you can set up tents or park an RV.
While there, you can go sunbathing, swimming, shore fishing, and explore the many secret wonders hidden behind the marshes and wooded areas.
You’ll spot birds like ducks, gulls, and sandhill cranes resting or flying within the evergreen forests or along the shores.
Better yet, you can just sit back and take in the brisk air and let your worries fade with every exhale.
It’s a relaxing and invigorating experience to stay in this park!
Splash Around at Quarry Beach Adventure Park and Water Sports
Quarry Beach Adventure Park and Water Sports offer many water-related activities for the whole family.
This forested area’s main attraction is the quarry lake and beach.
Floating on the lake is inflatable play equipment where kids and adults can have lots of fun.
There are slides, trampolines, and jumping platforms where you can bounce around before diving into the cool depths.
Once you’re done playing in the water, you can try disc golf, hiking, and fishing away from the recreational area.
It’s a great way to spend a day outdoors with your family!
As a lakeside city, Sheboygan offers many water-related activities that are great for the young and old alike.
Its rich history and heritage also manifest in the many festivals, museums, and historical sites.
Whatever your preference, Sheboygan will have something to offer.
Visit the city on your next vacation and find out why it’s a favorite Wisconsin destination.

Update: LingQ is a paid system, and as I say in this review the only part I found to be truly unique was the reading interface, which is still $10/month, $120/year for the basic version. Luckily there is now an open source and totally free alternative that fixes many problems I discuss in this post, especially the limitations of which language you can use it with.
Read this review if you are curious, but from now on I will simply recommend people go here instead: http://www.fluentin3months.com/learning-with-texts/
Warning: Very long and detailed review!!
While learning German, the majority of what I learned other than in actual conversations, was and will continue to be on various on-line and computer based input systems. (I usually focus on speaking more and learning from books). I believe I can improve my learning method using certain aspects of one or several of these systems, as many other people have been enjoying these tools to learn languages.
For the first week of the experiment I used the LingQ website and tools for several hours a day.
Before I start this review of LingQ I should point out two things.
Firstly, you can earn points for spending in LingQ from referrals to this system and I am choosing not to when I link to the page. This system has several paid aspects to it (I link to free alternatives where relevant), and I am not earning anything by referring new paid/unpaid users in all links except the example badge for illustrative purposes. I just want to share my opinion of the system and how it can be useful to people.
Secondly, the founder of this system, Steve Kaufmann, has sent a wave of negativity my way because he is uncomfortable with the advice I give on this blog. This means that I am not quite in the mood to do him any favours to be honest! Despite that I am recommending his site as a useful language learning tool, especially in its free form.
This review is an honest look at the 7 days (about 3 hours a day) that I spent almost exclusively learning German through this system, and I’ll list all the pros (first part) and cons (second part) as I see them.
Overview: LingQ as a web-based learning system
LingQ is a collection of various different interfaces for learning a language, gathered on one site. It provides features for working on the 4 main means of communication in a language: reading, writing, speaking and listening and has an active community and a vast collection of material both for listening to and for reading. The site has both free and paid options. You pay for “points” to spend in the system, but you can also earn these points by contributing and helping other learners. However, some useful and practical aspects of the site remain exclusive to paid members.
In this review I’ll be focusing on the benefits of the free options, but mentioning the possibilities of the paid ones for those curious, while mentioning work-around to keep it free.
The system is currently available for learning English, Russian, Italian, Swedish, Chinese, Portuguese, French, German, Spanish, Japanese and Korean. Other languages are in beta on demand, but if you are studying a minority language it’s unlikely you’ll ever see it in the system. I was reviewing it for German of course, but the features work the same in other languages (which, as I say below is not always a good thing) [Edit: I’ve also received comments from other users saying that they can’t use the system properly to learn non-European languages]. You can use it to learn as many of these languages as you like, even as a non-paying user.
The entire interface is very clean and user friendly, and generally pleasant to use.
My favourite feature: Reading interface
I have to admit – reading is not usually my focus. Although I have naturally improved my reading ability in languages through practice and enough to be recognised formally in several cases, my learning method could do with some improvement and LingQ’s reading interface is one way to do this. As I will be sitting an examination in just over 2 months I do need to make sure I am improving my reading ability in the best way possible, and I will likely continue to use LingQ to do this.
When you open a “lesson” you will be able to read the document through the interface. However, any words that you have never come across before in the system are highlighted in blue. In your first lesson all words are blue, but after several lessons (once you have confirmed that you know these words) you will see less and less and have a real feeling of progress. This is integrated with the “words I know feature”, a measurement system that I actually dislike, as mentioned below. However you will be reminded how much you are progressing and this is excellent encouragement.
The benefits of this clearly appear after using the system for longer. After a week, I still had some basic words appearing (as shown), but after a few more weeks I am sure more highlighted words would genuinely be ones I need to learn.
If you don’t know a word then hovering the mouse over the word will translate it for you (you can do this anyway in your browser on any website using plugins, but this is integrated into the system for adding hard words to your study list or known list). Several options may be given and if you click the one relevant to your context then you add what’s called a LingQ, which is basically a word or term that you need to refer to later to study. This allows you to continue reading.
Unfortunately there seems to be no language separation in the system, and non-English (i.e. non-native language) translations came up occasionally in my suggestions. This is due to other users who have set English as their default language (because the system is not practical to use in their language due to lack of translations), and enter translations in their mother tongue, so it’s something that you would just have to learn to ignore.
Using the system you can read documents quite quickly and make a note of tough words way faster than you would do it manually.
Something very important here is that you are learning words in the right context. Many systems I’ve already seen give you lists of words to learn off with no example sentence or even as part of a larger flow such as in a text document or audio. When you see a word as it’s actually used you can appreciate it way more than in other systems.
All of this reading aspect is free, however you have a maximum of 100 LingQs that you can add before you need to have a paid account. You can simply learn all of these when you have lots of them and then delete them, so you can add new ones. This won’t influence the number of words the system is aware of you “knowing“, which will continue to go up, so by deleting LingQs you can keep it free.
It’s actually better to make sure that you can continue to learn hard words, by making a note of them in a separate learning system as I mention very briefly below.
Great library of audio & text to learn from
Another excellent, and free, feature of LingQ is it’s library of “lessons”, which are actually short text documents accompanied by an audio file. I had looked for something similar before, and this is the most extensive and easy to navigate free database I’ve come across online for several languages, especially for varied language levels. It’s important to note that LingQ is genuinely useful for improving recognition (less for conversation) at different levels (beginner, intermediate, advanced), which is not the case in other systems.
This means that you have huge amounts of audio you can download to listen to on the go (as podcasts for example), and compare them with the documents. This combination means that LingQ is definitely an excellent system for audio (as well as reading) comprehension. Since they are integrated, you can combine your reading lessons for learning vocabulary and the listening aspect, to make sure you understand them when spoken.
This feature alone makes the site worth checking out for people who need more content in their target language to practise with. You need a free account to be able to access this library.
Most people who use the system tell me that one of their favourite parts of the LingQ system is its community. I’ve started using other popular systems this week and I can already see that LingQ is an improvement on these in certain ways.
You can search for other members based on their language, and there is a forum that you can ask questions in. It isn’t as active as the how to learn any language forum, but there are regular messages and helpful responses. I started a discussion about this review I was going to write and got many helpful replies and a very interesting discussion.
A troll came to insult me too, but this would be very unlikely to happen to other people as I have a reputation there based on Steve’s somewhat misleading blog posts about me, as well as the unconventional ideas I have in language learning that I talk about so confidently.
If you were invested enough in learning through this system, it’s great to know that the community will be there to help, and you can always ask them when you need it. I noticed that some topics have not been active for a month or longer, but most of them have several posts a day and there are categories for you to practise the language you are learning.
The forum needs some technical work too; some URLs are broken up if you include them in a message (unless you use a URL shrinking tool from another site, which is a frustrating extra step), and you cannot edit posts or use formatted text. To me, this gave the forum a very “classic Internet” feel and it needs to be updated.
I can’t say that I was very active in getting involved in the community, so there is likely way more to discover here that I may come back to later. I am personally a very independent learner, but a lot of new learners would benefit greatly from support offered there.
Also, the site itself, while using very clever programming for the interface, needs some server or other technical work because the entire site was unavailable twice for much longer than a few minutes, and I’ve been using it for a very short time. It was suggested that this happens regularly. This was inconvenient for a specific time that I had set aside to study, and the error message is misleading and the links provided for explanations are unhelpful.
I enjoyed testing out the paid features, but I will downgrade to be a free member before my first month is over. The free alternatives to LingQ’s paid ones that I list are fine for most learners, especially if you don’t mind deleting things you are sure of. To be fair, if you were to pay for the features I will mention, they aren’t expensive to use if you do it infrequently, and you do get value for what you pay for.
Another feature that I enjoyed is the Import feature. The export feature I mention below is for exporting vocabulary to study, but is a paid extra that you can bypass by copying and pasting as I suggested. Luckily the import feature is actually free, but is for importing your own text. Free accounts have a ‘limit’ of 5 imports, but you can just delete the documents when you are done with them to keep below this limit of 5. (Paid members do not need to do this, but it’s a simple extra step).
Use of this feature depends on how much of the language you come across on the Internet for reading and isn’t practical for reading newspapers/books etc. (without time consuming scanning and conversion). Since I put my e-mails and random websites through it, I quite enjoyed this option. However, since the database of ‘lessons’ is quite big, there is more than enough free content already there to keep you busy for quite a while.
As I said above, this helps for reading documents faster in languages that you are learning and using the interface for this is handy.
Paid vs point earning options
As I said, I am happy to recommend the free version of the site, and some other features are possible for free members, by earning points by contributing to the system.
Certain features work on a points system, but in my opinion they are not very practical if you don’t pay, so I don’t see this as a real solution for most people. For example, if you wish to have a spoken lesson, you need to have earned at least 500 points. To earn these points you actually have to give two spoken lessons (375 points earned each). Since the student chooses the time for the lesson (beneficial to the learner of course), the tutor has to be flexible around this (although they choose the availability window) and give their attention and a report after the lesson for each of the 3 people. Some people may not be interested in giving two lessons to get one in return (although there are excess points that will add up later).
People who are passionate about the community are happy to lend a hand, and I like this enthusiasm and genuine wish to help others. I’m told that this extra work involved is to maintain the quality of the system.
You can also earn points from referrals (as I could have done by using a specific referral link in this post every time I mention LingQ if I wanted), but I also think this is not practical as you only earn 200 points per month for each referral that opens a paid account (you earn nothing from friends that sign up to use the free system). So you need to convince THREE friends to take out their credit card before you can have one brief conversation a month.
This is ridiculous when you think about it and makes what you earn almost completely pointless in my opinion. I can only see it as a practical solution for people like me with popular blogs that could potentially get lots of clicks, and this explains why I have seen a few websites with their vanity badge of how many words they “know” so prominently displayed, with a referral link behind it. How it can help the system itself with more funding is apparent. If you refer people specifically to help maintain the system then it’s a good idea, but it’s a promotion gimmick, and I can’t see how it can help the actual users to earn enough to make it worthwhile.
As well as this points can expire. This means that even if you pay to use the system, your money can still go nowhere if you aren’t quick enough to use those points. This encourages you to use the system often, but is unfair in my opinion. If you earn / pay for points you should be able to use them whenever you want.
Rather than earn points, I paid for these lessons to try them out and was very pleased with them. For $10 you get 1000 points (2 lessons) if you already have a paid account (so I had spent a total of $20 on LingQ, with my basic subscription). With a free account you would pay $10 for one lesson, since points that you buy are worth half as much to free members. A chat session usually lasts 15 minutes, however my tutor Vera (and the next day Annett) were kind enough to go over this time with me.
It’s important to note that there are completely free alternatives for finding conversation partners online, such as:
I originally thought (mostly from all the hype when it came out) that LiveMocha could be a good learning alternative, but from what I see in trying to get use out of it, it’s only really practical for finding natives to practise with and not for learning a language beyond the basics.
I will come back to review some of these systems to see which I prefer as a free alternative for finding free conversation partners, but of course because it’s free there are certain things missing that you get for a paid alternative.
After a pleasant conversation with Vera, she sent me a detailed report of the mistakes that I had made that she had been noting while we were chatting. I did appreciate this and if you are already a paying member then $5 extra per conversation is indeed worth it for the chance to converse with a very helpful native and get the report afterwards and could be a great target to aim for at the end of a week of studies.
However, if you wish to have more intensive spoken practise (which you all know I prioritise) then this would not be so practical and free alternatives (or meeting in person) would be preferable. One or two conversations a week will definitely help, but nothing like the kinds of speed of spoken progress that I personally prefer. I know lots of people prefer to take their time in language learning so this would may not be an issue for them.
There is a completely free alternative to this over at Lang 8 that I have already linked to. I have used Lang-8 and am happy with the free corrections, however LingQ’s one would have the same level of detail in the report as the spoken lesson review, and a level of focus/quality that you might not get in free alternatives.
Once again, it depends on what you are looking for. If you just want to write an e-mail to a friend for example, or get a general idea of your weak points in writing, then a free correction from a native is all you really need. However, if you are writing a cover letter, want to keep the text a bit more private, or are preparing for an examination then you might want more detail about what what you need to improve. How many points you need to pay depends on the length of the document.
You can also correct other people’s text to earn these points, like in Lang-8, although it’s not as balanced in points earned vs points spent. As well as this, in LingQ you have to wait until people submit text to you, but in Lang-8 you can do the corrections yourself immediately. However, this will likely not be much of an issue for English speakers in LingQ, as there is high demand for that.
Criticisims – the vanity badge
As well as the point-earning system that I’ve mentioned, there are certain other aspects that I didn’t like. For a balanced review, it’s important to share this and I hope those at LingQ will take this as constructive criticism, since as I say clearly, I am happily promoting this website as a good learning tool.
The vanity badge (my title for it, not LingQ’s) that states how many “words you know” is quite misleading in my opinion. You can see it here (this example does have a referral link that I would earn points from, if you are in a spending mood, which I don’t personally need to be honest, but you can click here to access LingQ in the same way without me earning points).
I’m very glad to see that LingQ focuses on all 4 means of communication, but using number of words you “know” as the measuring tool is meaningless in terms of your ability to actually use those words. There are many ways to assess your level in a language and I feel this one simplifies things way too much.
Then there’s the use of the word “know”. The writing and speaking aspects don’t directly influence your word-count (unless added individually), so this is more accurately represented as words you recognise as you see/hear them in the appropriate context. LingQ’s focus on context is a fantastic feature for helping you learn words as they are actually used, but that context does a huge amount of the work to help you recognise the word, that simply won’t be there to help you when you need to say/write it yourself. You will eventually learn to know this word if you are exposed to it many times in context, but this is slower than what I would normally do. Once again, if you prefer to take your time, this isn’t so much of an issue.
However, recognising a word does NOT mean that you know it. Remembering words is not bidirectional – it takes more effort to remember a foreign word than to recognise it. In my opinion, you only truly “know” a word when you can produce it yourself.
Even forgetting all that, the count of the vanity badge is not realistic – different conjugations and plurals and declensions count as different words to LingQ. If you think that knowing cat/cats, house/houses, dog/dogs means you know 6 words instead of 3, then you’ll agree with this measuring system. I don’t.
On the other hand using some form of a counting system to see that you are progressing is very encouraging and I like that aspect of it at least. I’ll continue to use the LingQ system, but I will not be displaying the badge on this site’s sidebar.
The flashcard system
I have mixed feelings about LingQ’s flashcard system. It’s great to review the difficult words that I’ve marked later, but the interface operates in a way I would not expect it to that slows me down. I’ve used both the one on the site and the free iPhone/iPod app. (There are no other options available, so tough luck it would seem if you are among the majority of people in the world who have a non-Apple mobile device…)
It categorises words as 1. New 2. Can’t remember 3. Not sure 4. Known and the status goes up automatically after a certain number of views, but I wanted to change the status to Known/Not sure for several words after the first time. If it was a simple matter of clicking one button to change the status and review the next one, then this wouldn’t be an issue. But you have to change the status separately, and then click to go to the next flashcard and this slowed me down considerably.
There are other aspects of how these words are presented to you that I didn’t like, but that is a matter of taste and is based on how Steve himself likes to study. I decided to start my experiment with SRS early and downloaded Anki (for iPhone, for Android, and for everyone else) and found it way superior to LingQ’s flashcard system, even though the interface is almost as simple. The SRS system is way more suited to how the majority of people think, and you can use it way quicker than LingQ. But this is something I will explain in much more detail later, as I continue to learn through SRS over the coming weeks.
If you have a paid account then you can use the Export feature to send your LingQs to any SRS application for studying. To me, this is by far the most important benefit of having a paid account, however if you don’t mind copying and pasting the hardest words to SRS, not having this isn’t an issue.
You reverse the order for testing production rather than recognition ability within LingQ’s system without needing to export, (“Reverse” on the website) but the terminology is confusing on the iPhone (you need to change “term” to “hint” in settings – to me this is far from intuitive and I needed help for it to be pointed out). The website system would do well to incorporate keyboard strokes (like in Anki) so you could use it quicker than clicking.
When using the free version of the site, I suggest you have a separate document open at the same time and copy and paste new words you wish to review later into that document, so that it can be opened by an SRS program and so you can keep your LingQ count below the free limit of 100. I’ll describe the details of how to do this while coming across any vocabulary (not just in LingQ) when I discuss SRS later.
Oversimplification of how a language works
One final thing I didn’t like is the oversimplification (not in presentation, but in progress and learning) of a language being nothing more than single words that you can translate into your native tongue, albeit in the right context.
For a language like German, separable verbs means that you simply can’t select a term to create a LingQ, since other words would be between these parts. Literal translations of these will do nothing but confuse the learner, and can’t ever help you truly understand a text. This is yet another reason that the vanity badge count is misleading, but this time in how much you can understand.
English also does this, e.g. “get your point / the idea / humour across”. In this case “get across” is the crucial term, and individual word translations do not help the learner in the slightest, and “get across” cannot be selected as one term to be learned, and adding it separately (only if you already know what it means; if you haven’t seen it before you wouldn’t think to do this) requires you to leave the lesson (or open a new tab). People not generally familiar with learning languages would not know to do this.
Also, the entire Interface is identical for learning all languages. This does not take important differences required when learning particular languages into account.
Like Steve, I’m not a fan of grammar, however there is no mention of it at all in this system. I try to get through understanding grammar quickly when the time is right, not avoid it entirely. You can always ask for help in the forums, but at a certain stage you need to get some detailed advice on how a language works beyond translations. I personally don’t like this idea of learning a language almost entirely via translations, but others would. As I said, the context helps hugely to improve on this.
You will eventually get most of the gist of it when reading and listening to words spoken in a particular way, however without a few basic guidelines you would need a lot of exposure for certain grammatical points to become natural to you without ever studying them. If using LingQ, it absolutely must be combined with other tools to make good overall progress.
As you can see, this is an extremely in-depth review, so I hope people see that I am taking my input experiment seriously!
There are some other aspects that I found frustrating about LingQ but that are much more down to personal taste. Ultimately, I want to see what aspects of online learning tools can improve my speed and efficiency in learning languages rapidly, and what would work well for others too, and I will likely be recommending LingQ for free reading/listening improvement along with other tools, and precisely how I combine them, in my book and this blog.
If I feel another system is worth discussing in detail, I will do so. However, as I said above, I found LiveMocha to be a disappointment for non-beginners, and I will likely rate it among tools for searching for people to practice with, rather than an actual learning system.
If you have used LingQ or have any thoughts on what I said here, feel free to leave a comment. But I should point out that I will delete any rude/irrelevant comments. Lots of this post is mostly just opinion, but I’ve presented quite a lot of facts and important analyses. Take it or leave it!

And I think, right now, that all I can ask for is one Nice Day at a time. I'm grateful that I got it.
I picked Michael up after work Sunday morning and drove up to my house. A few hours of sleep, then we worked some more at cleaning up the backyard. Most of the leaves are out of it and the spider population seems to be significantly reduced. I just have to clean the chairs, set up the new table, and deal with the wasp's nest, and then i can enjoy my backyard again. I really have to work at not letting that get out of control again, but when i'm sad, things like that get neglected. After that, we went into Riverside to TJ's, for food and drink and laundry soap. A stop at the video store end up with us renting Pleasantville, which (capsule review forthcoming) i thought was conceptually great, wonderful 90% of the time, but a bit over-obvious and left an unresolved ending.
We made dinner (portabellas and salad), drank yummy hoppy beer, and watched the movie. After the movie Michael dyed my hair (and it's almost perfect ... what isn't i can easily fix) and I put purple streaks in his. His work's reaction to the chunks of purple remains to be seen. I think it's pretty. But he really needs a haircut.
A few hours left to kill after all the day's projects resulted in cuddling, talking, and (yay!) getting some action. So i was a happy, happy girl.
Even though Michael's work sucks and made him work today (it's fucking Labor Day!) so he had to come home last night, i was still glad to have been able to spend the day with him. It was productive, in several different ways.
My fingertips are purple from dying michael's hair ... gloves just seemed so superfluous at the time ...
Tonight i work, tomorrow night I go to school, wednesday morning I go to school, wednesday night i may or may not go to work, and thursday morning I'm taking the train to san diego to go to the emergency and critical care veterinary conference. And with the weather the way it is, i'm sure glad it's not in new orleans this year.
Right now, i'm off to pick up some prescriptions and meet michael for (his) lunch. then i have an hour or two to kill before work ... i'm sure i'll find something to do.

EuroGamer: Earlier today we learned that Requiem For a Dream composer Clint Mansell is scoring Mass Effect 3, taking over from series mainstay Jack Wall. Why the change? Well, it was just time to move on, Wall has revealed
Boo. I just hope the general themes that started with ME1 are still used. The "mass effect theme" is iconic.

In the past 2 months, I traveled to Nigeria and Cambodia.
Both of these trips were for ministry and I am better because of them.
In April, 300 young girls were kidnapped from their school by a terrorist group called Boko Haram. As I learned and prayed more about this (and the many other abductions like it) happening in that country, I felt compelled to go. God gives me a love that makes my going unstoppable. In May, I went to Abuja, Nigeria.
I went to Nigeria not because I think it needed me, but because I was moved by the tragedy of the girls’ abduction & if I was one of the fathers, I would find some comfort in knowing that people loved enough to come from far away to stand with me.
I went there to love & learn. I think I succeeded.
Some of the things I did in Nigeria:
- I spoke, preached and prayed at 2 churches in Nigeria’s capital, Abuja.
- I attended and spoke at rallies in support of action to rescue the abducted girls.
- I met and prayed with the Governor of Borno (the state where the girls were abducted). I was also invited to return and travel as the guest of that governor to pray with families of abducted girls.
- I participated in a simultaneous prayer vigil event held and broadcast at the Nigerian Embassy in Washington, DC and a church in Abuja, Nigeria.
- I ate one too many snails.
- I got embarrassingly ill after eating chicken from a road-side stand.
The girls have still not been returned. As of today, It has been 74 days since the girls were taken. We continue to pray for their safe return. We’re also considering further action we can take.
One of the possible outcomes of the abduction is that the public outcry against Boko Haram would cause that terrorist group to be broken. That’s our prayer also.
In June, I traveled to Phnom Penh Cambodia because I was invited to help to plan and develop a program to train Chinese missionaries who will plant churches among unreached people in Cambodia.
The result of the trip is that there is a training program for Chinese mission interns now operating in Phnom Penh, Cambodia. The program is modeled after the Hillside Missions internship program. More work is needed, but they are already up and running with 9 residential Chinese students. Awesome.
The World Horizons USA and Hillside Missions teams are now working to support this training initiative. We’re excited to see waves of Chinese missionaries making disciples in Cambodia.
Initially, John and Christa H. (missionaries with Act Beyond) had asked me to come to help them to discuss and plan for how to develop a mission training internship somewhat modeled after what we’ve built here in Richmond. Their aim is to train and mobilize Chinese missionaries into Cambodia (and eventually other nations). I have known and worked among Chinese peoples with the Harrills for about 12 years.
Samuel, a long-time Chinese missionary to Cambodia, and John H. have been working together with Chinese people in Cambodia. Samuel recently joined World Horizons as a field member. Jonny H. (World Horizons Cambodia team leader) is also supporting the development of the project.
In the long-term, the hope is that a multi-organizational collaborative training program for Chinese missionaries could grow in Phnom Penh.
I left Phnom Penh very encouraged. I believe that the time and resources are very right for this. I’m also encouraged by the collaborative prospect that this entails. We are planning a follow-up trip in October to continue to support the formalization of a mission training program there.
Some of the other things I did in Cambodia:
- I met with Hannah Look in Phnom Penh as she arrived to begin a 5-month externship as the final stage of her mission training with Hillside Missions.
- I ate Japanese food, French food, Mexican food, Cambodian food and Indonesian food.
- I spent time with old friends and made some new friends.
- I taught the 9 Chinese mission students
- I thought about tattoos

Child of Light is a downloadable turn-based RPG released across various PlayStation, Nintendo and Xbox consoles that features a beautifully unique art design and an engaging combat system wrapped up in a fairy tale narrative.
The first thing that will strike you about Child of Light is the magnificent art direction and animation. It really looks like a watercolour painting come to life. If you ever dreamed of a fairy tale adventure as a kid, it would probably look a lot like this. The dialogue is also unique as it is delivered in poetic verse, keeping the conversations between the characters interesting and fun.
The story follows Aurora, a young girl on a journey through the magical land of Lemuria to defeat the Dark Queen Umbra and return light to the world. The narrative seems ripped straight out of a fairy tale book, but there are a few twists and turns along the way. Aurora is a strong willed protagonist and she is joined by a colourful cast of characters along her quest.
The gameplay of Child of Light consists of some light side-scrolling platforming reminiscent of Valkyrie Profile and a battle system with ideas taken from Grandia. The turn-based battle system shows you a timeline of when actions with be performed, allowing you to time your attacks to interrupt the enemies onslaught. Each character has a skill tree that lets them learn new skills and abilities as they level up and you can also equip them with various element gemstones to add further bonuses to their stats.
The music is equally effective as the visuals in taking you away to the fantasy land of Lemuria, from dark caverns to deserted villages. Most of the tunes are gentle and melancholy, but gain intensity when required in big battles. The beautiful piano driven “Pilgrims on a Long Journey” is a highlight that echoes the themes of Aurora’s adventure.
Child of Light is a work of art, both in design and presentation. If you wish to play an artistic and whimsical RPG then you should play Child of Light.

Luiz Gustavo is relishing the prospect of facing Bayern Munich for the first time since departing the club for Wolfsburg when the two meet on Saturday.
The Brazilian made the switch to the Volkswagen Arena in August on a five-year deal, after failing to establish himself as a first-team regular at Bayern.
Wolfsburg have made an inconsistent start to the new Bundesliga campaign, with three wins and three defeats from their six matches so far.
But Gustavo believes that there is no greater incentive for victory than playing a team he deems to be the best in world football.
In an interview with Bayern's official website, he said: "It is certainly a bit different from a normal away day.
"I played at Bayern for two years and now I'm coming back as an opponent. We are playing against a very good team, that's exactly what every player wants.
"Bayern is the best club in the world after the treble last year, you can definitely say that.
"Each opponent will try to beat them.
"It won't be funny (playing against his former team-mates), we had training and often played against each other."comments

This Wednesday’s Listing: CANDY
For a bit of change in the middle of the week, I’m declaring LIST DAY. I know, I know, it is often called Hump Day (which often just sounds disgusting) or what many bloggers call Wordless Wednesday. Instead, I want to make it wordier. But with pictures. And be able to satisfy my OCD.
Lists are great. I always carry notepad paper in my purse just for this purpose. When I am expected to take a note or write down an address, I panic. I can’t write on my list paper! This is not bullet-point presentation worthy.
So today, I write about my favorite candies of all time. Halloween is just around the corner and the ultimate, No. 1 best thing about the holiday is the haul of candy.
On top of that list, is the Mamba. Maybe the fact that they named a candy after such a ferocious snake makes it a tad cooler. The absolute real reason for me it is so cool? The wrapping. I mean, Starbursts are great and all, but they have nothing on Mamba candy. It’s much longer (which means more candy), and inside the main wrapper are three wrapped candies. And inside each those wrappers are several wrapped candies. Compartmentalized. Each flavor (the raspberry is the best, BTW) was a bit plastic fruit tasting (which I love). There was only two problems with the candy. First problem is the flavors were separated. So you would have to open them all and destroy the neatness that I so enjoyed. Secondly, if you ate the whole bar in one sitting, you had the worst jaw ache ever.
My childhood summer was spent running between the pool and the library. After we headed for a swim, my cousins and I would hop on our bikes to the Dollar Stretcher in downtown Webster City. For some Lik-M-Aid Fun Dip. After consuming so many of these sugary treats, I still wonder why my teeth aren’t filled with holes. The fact that you could eat the dipping stick was part of the fun. This was not a candy that my mom would ever buy for me, so it was fun being naughty and consuming flavored sugar.
Warheads. (I am especially listing this because my brother might be reading.) I enjoyed these? Maybe? The question marks come because older brother Steve kind of forced his will on these. I didn’t want to put one on the tongue, but I didn’t want to be considered a pansy either. Sour doesn’t begin to describe these. Pure torture. Of the good kind. Not to sound ignorant or anything, but I really thought at one time these were produced by the military. No joke. It was somewhat of a torture device.
While gum isn’t always considered a candy, as much as I chewed and swallowed it, it was. We would ride our bikes to the local Fareway and spend a good majority of our allowance money on the different flavors Bubbilicious offered. My favorite was the Tornado. I didn’t mind cotton candy either. I just hated that after 30 seconds of chewing, it was just a grey giant wad of flavorless gum in your mouth. Oh well, you just added another piece to the gigantic piece and kept chewing.
Other gum of notable reference:
As mentioned before, my dad was really into baseball. So of course, he was on a league and I would always go to the games. One reason: Lollies. I would find a dime, and I had sweetness in my hand. Unfortunately, the chalky candy would be easy to bite into, and alas, your candy was gone.
Favorite parade candy? That is easy. Gotta be the Frooties.
Favorite pool candy? Laffy Taffy, duh.
My sister Emily had a big hankering for anything in gummy form. Swedish Fish were her main desire. So whenever we stopped at Cub Foods Grocery Store, we always scooped up tons. There were bears, root beer bottles, sour sharks, strawberries, animals, the list would go on and on. We just knew we were in candy heaven.
For a more “adult” candy treat (if there is such a thing) I will bring you my favorite all-time chocolate bar. The Mars Bar, American-style. I cannot tell you how upset I was after it was discontinued. It was a perfect concoction of caramel and almond. I went to Europe backpacking and found Mars Bars. I was so excited. I picked up no less than five to eat while I was in Ireland. While the European version is delightful, it tastes more like a Milky Way. Not the same. I have heard rumors that the U.S. delight was relaunched in 2010, but I have yet to find it. Until then, I settle for a Snickers with Almonds.
I could go on and on about candy. There are so many more to list. Runts, Brach’s individual candies, Jelly Belly’s, Sour Patch Kids, but I don’t have time. I have TV shows on the DVR just shouting my name.
I will leave you with one candy that I can’t decide if I even liked. It would stay in my teeth and the Later part was not my favorite by any means. Happy Candy-ing.

We make great beers that donít fit the traditional model; this is Wildcardís version of an IPA. We use the finest Maris Otter malt that is traditionally used in British ESBs and then throw in an immense amount of the best American hops; Chinook, Falconerís Flight and Zeus. No holding back here, nearly two pounds of hops for every barrel of beer that we produce. Youíll get a caramelly malt character balanced by a wonderful grapefruit aroma and dry finish. Cheers.

3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Pours a finger of head on a dark straw colored body.
The aroma is a dank pine... interesting, but still nice.
The taste is a solid pine dank bitterness with a good malt background.
The texture is thicker with moderate carbonation.
A solid IPA.

tap in Redding, CA Pours cloudy orange with a small off-white head and good lacing. The aroma is led by grapefruit like hops. Thereís good citrusy bitterness and a medium body in this fairly typical west coast IPA. Itís very good.

Starting a business is no easy task. It takes time, effort, money, and a lot of trial and error.
While starting a business can be challenging and often difficult, the level of complication pales compared to running a successful business.
For many business owners, managing their company once it gets staff and needs more hands-on management can be an exercise in frustration. Not all startup entrepreneurs are good managers. 🙂
Managing some areas of the operation can feel like you have no idea what to do and that you’re not getting anywhere fast. What you want to be doing is working on the business, not working in it!
One way to get what works for you plus limit your frustration is to learn from the mistakes of others who have been there and done before you. By knowing the most common business mistakes, you can navigate around them. You too, will make mistakes, but you can save yourself a lot of headaches by mitigating risk and averting the usual reasons why startups fail.
If you start a business, and this is your first shot, give yourself the best chance to be successful, by avoiding these common business mistakes.
1. Not Writing a Business Plan
One of the most common mistakes business owners make is not writing a business plan. You’re excited and just want to get the business operational as soon as possible. You believe you’ll be fine just taking it one day at a time with no real plan of action. This is not risk mitigation.
While the traditional business plan can seem unnecessarily long and tedious to write, there is a saying that rings true every time: if you fail to plan you plan to fail.
Many novice business owners skip the essential step of creating a business plan and then suffer the consequences later on which may be catastrophic, i.e. they go out of business.
A business plan will guide you down the path of success, which is why having one, even a simple plan, is essential.
2. Not Following a Budget
Many entrepreneurs and business owners fail to create a budget for their company. This is a big mistake as financial problems are one of the most common reasons for business failure. Take some time to create a budget for your business and make sure to follow it.
3. Not Understanding Their Target Market
One major mistake business owners make is not understanding their target market. This means they don’t understand the needs, expectations, or wants of the people they are trying to serve. Not researching your target market is one of the quickest ways to business failure.
4. Not Getting Insurance
Another common business mistake is failing to ensure the company. This can be for various reasons ranging from business insurance cost to thinking insurance isn’t necessary. If you have assets, you need to protect them, and one way to do so is with business insurance.
5. Not Investing in Marketing
Marketing can be a complex subject that covers various strategies, tactics, and methods. Although understanding marketing as a beginner can be complicated, many business owners try to DIY their marketing instead of outsourcing it.
If you are still learning the basics of marketing but need to boost your business, consider hiring some help. You may believe you’re a ‘natural’ and for some actions, you can take control. For example posting on social media, creating email newsletters, and adding content to your blog.
However, there are complex online strategies, and you can do more damage than good if you don’t know what you’re doing—for example, SEO, PPC, SMM. Engage experts with experience and knowledge in these areas, so your business gets the best set up, ongoing performance and ROI.
These Are the Common Mistakes Business Owners Make
These are the common mistakes all business owners need to avoid.
Make sure you write a business plan for your company and follow a reasonable budget. You should also understand your target market and make sure your company is insured.
If you are not sure how to market your business, invest in getting help from a professional team.
Follow these tips, and you’ll be ahead of the curve when starting your business.
Don’t forget to browse our site for advice on advertising, marketing, business, and more.

Originally published September 28, 2011 at 12:00a.m., updated September 28, 2011 at 12:56a.m.
The following is an excerpt from "Beyond the Phog - Untold Stories from Kansas Basketball's Most Dominant Decade." Compiled by Jason King of Yahoo! Sports and Lawrence Journal-World sportswriter Jesse Newell, the 400-page book includes interviews with 40 players and coaches from the most successful era in Jayhawks history. "Beyond the Phog" will be available in stores Friday. For more information on ordering the book or upcoming book signings, check out kubook.net.
Any thoughts I had about leaving (school early) for the NBA ended when I got stabbed. After that I knew I wasn’t going anywhere. If anything, I was trying to figure out if I was ever going to play basketball again.
I think that’s why they made me leave Kansas. The doctor said I would walk with a limp for the rest of my life. He said I was going to come back 50% and I wasn't going to be able to play basketball anymore.
I’m not saying Kansas threw me out like a battery. But they get McDonald’s All-Americans every day. They weren’t going to let me stay around campus and be Moulaye Niang.
Micah Downs was coming in. Bill Self used to always tell me, “Micah is coming in and he's better than you.” He would just say little stuff like that and I was like, “Dang, man, you’re not even for me, are you?” I wanted to stay at Kansas but I felt like they just pushed me out the door, especially after getting stabbed. I was like, “I'm sitting here worrying if I'm ever play basketball again and you guys are over here talking to me in an inappropriate manner? I'm 19 years old. You guys are supposed to my college coaches. Instead, at the first sign of trouble, you guys are turning your back on me?” I felt like it was everyone from the coaching staff to the people up there in the offices. As a 19-year-old who was immature and didn’t understand life, I took that really hard. I left the office in tears when I knew I was leaving.
I remember that day really well. I walked out of there on crutches, crying. I’d been interrogated for about seven hours for three days straight. Then those guys did that to me? A few weeks before that, I had to move out of my dorm at the Towers. I was staying with Josi Lima, my girlfriend at the time who played volleyball. Bill Self was telling my teammates not to have any contact with me. Darnell Jackson and Jeremy Case were two of my best friends, and they weren’t even allowed to talk to me. Aaron Miles was done playing so he came over. He was the only person who came and saw me. I was like, “Dang, I’m 30 feet from where I used to stay and you guys can’t even come over here and see me?” I’m stabbed and laid up and don’t even know if I’m going to play basketball again. That was very kind of Kansas basketball and Bill Self, to tell people to stay away from me like I was a team cancer.

I am an army wife, currently in Kitzingen, Germany. My family mostly calls Texas home, though none of us was actually born there! Go figure! I never thought I liked to cook, but lately I have been having alot of fun with it, and find that I visit RecipeZaar quite frequently.
I am working on learning the true art of low(er) fat cooking. I am somewhat famous for the (non-low-fat) "Davis Salad" with fruit, marshmallows, nuts and REAL whipped cream. Like I said, non-low-fat. My favorite restaurant here in Germany is probably the cafeteria at IKEA (Mmmm, salmon...), but there is this little Italian place in town where we eat outside and drink Lambrusco. Fabulous! Europe is fun, until you are served FISH JELLO!

Image © Li Liao
by Alec Ash
On October 9th 2012, 30 year old Li Liao reported for his first day’s work at a Foxconn factory in southern China. The colossal electronics contract manufacturer, which makes our iPhones, Kindles and Wiis, provides a livelihood for hundreds of thousands of poor Chinese. It was also the center of controversy after a spate of worker suicides in 2010.
Li Liao was issued his identity card – worker F2356272 – overalls and cap. He was shown around. On the assembly line, he was to help manufacture Apple’s latest gadget, the iPad mini. He worked there for 45 days. Then he quit, bought an iPad mini with his wages, and displayed it and his overalls as part of a contemporary art exhibit in the fashionable 798 art district of Beijing.
His boss, presumably, didn’t see that coming.
I caught up with Li Liao, to talk about his experiences at Foxconn. I recognized him from the photos on his identity cards, but his hair was a bright mop of peroxide white. That was my first question.
Why did you dye your hair?
I felt the conditions [at Foxconn] were very oppressive. That’s why as soon as I left, I dyed my hair. There was no feeling of freedom there. You worked for ten hours, and then there were two hours for meals – so twelve hours [at work] in total, and the other twelve hours you slept. It was very tough.
What else were the conditions like?
The work was completely repetitive. If people say their work is repetitive, I think they can still meet different people, or that one day’s work is slightly different from the day before. But at Foxconn every day was the same. To tell the truth, even going to the toilet wasn’t easy. Because when you were on the production line, if you wanted to get up, you had to find someone to replace you. And you couldn’t always be getting up. It wasn’t that you couldn’t go, but you had to give some thought to when and how you went – which was an oppressive feeling.
Do you have an opinion on the suicides?
Sure I have an opinion. Before, I never knew why they killed themselves. Then after I joined the factory, I asked my workmates. They didn’t know either, because workers can’t talk about that affair. But they did know the facts. Then I realized that after one or two people kill themselves, that state of mind is infectious. It makes others think of their similar circumstances.
So why did they kill themselves? Maybe at that time the militarization and management [of the factory] was pretty strict, and the wages were even lower than they are now. Now, because the labor union came around, to help them achieve an international standard, things are a bit better, so people aren’t jumping off the roof.
So was it to protest, or out of despair?
I think it was mostly out of despair. In my view, if a worker left the factory they didn’t have the skills to survive. Their skills rely entirely on machines. If they leave they are unemployed, and can only go back to their old homes and start a small business. They feel they have no way out.

Bonding for schools
Utahns don't just pay lip service to the value of public education. They consistently show their commitment to their local neighborhood schools. They volunteer. Parents get involved in PTA and other organizations. And they go even further, most often approving district borrowing to maintain education quality.
Voters in the Murray and Weber school districts are the latest to support going into debt to improve their children's schools. The two bond issues approved Tuesday are needed to meet the demands of growth and improve safety at schools in the two districts.
Record-low interest rates and relatively low construction costs make this a good time to complete these necessary construction projects.
Murray voters passed a $33 million bond to build a new Hillcrest Junior High and add seismic upgrades to other schools. Nearly 70 percent voted in favor of a $58 annual property tax increase on a $200,000 house, the average home value for the area.
The existing Hillcrest Junior High was built in 1948 and has been remodeled multiple times. It is inconvenient, but more important, it doesn't meet the safety standards of newer school buildings.
Superintendent Steven Hirase said the additions to the building were built without a master plan, leading to the building's "poor" design.
"You must take two different elevators to get to the top floor," said Hirase, who said the inadequately planned construction contributes to the building's poor heat circulation and creates "many hallways that do not lead to anything."
Also part of the bond issue, $4 million will pay for seismic upgrades at all other schools in the district except Murray High School. They are all between 31 and 59 years old.
Farther north, Weber School District voters approved a $65 million bond to build four schools to replace five existing ones: West Weber Elementary, Wahlquist Junior High, North Park Elementary, and Marlon Hills Elementary and Club Heights Elementary, which will be consolidated. The average age of the schools being replaced is 68 years. The oldest is 84. Their safety features are outdated, and the district has added 1,649 students since its last bond election.
Additions also will be made to Rocky Mountain and North Ogden junior high schools. Property owners will not see a property tax increase because the district is restructuring its current debt to include the new bond.
The two bonds will bring the districts money for much-needed projects. Voters made the right choices.

This application is a continuation of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 10/119,550, filed Apr. 9, 2002 now U.S. Pat. No. 6,838,331.
The invention relates to memory devices, and, more particularly, to a method and system for allowing a memory to operate in a manner that corrects data errors that may be generated by operating the memory in a mode that consumes relatively little power.
Substantially all modern computers and other digital systems rely on semiconductor memory devices to store data and instructions for processing by a central processing unit (CPU). Most of these systems have a system memory, which usually consists of dynamic random access memory (“DRAM”) devices. The memory storage cost/bit of DRAM devices is relatively low because a DRAM memory cell needs relatively few circuit components to store a data bit as compared with other types of memory cells, such as static random access memory (“SRAM”) devices. Thus, a high capacity system memory can be implemented using DRAM devices for a relatively low cost.
Although DRAM devices have the advantage of providing relatively low-cost data storage, they also have the disadvantage of significantly consuming power, In fact, DRAM devices used in a digital system, such as a computer, can consume a significant percentage of the total power consumed by the system. The power consumed by computers and other digital systems can be a critical factor in their utility in certain applications. For example, the power consumed by portable personal computers greatly affects the length of time they can be used without the need to recharge batteries powering such computers. Power consumption can also be important even where memory devices are not powered by batteries because it may be necessary to limit the heat generated by the memory devices.
One operation that tends to consume power at a substantial rate is refreshing memory cells in a DRAM device. As is well-known in the art, DRAM memory cells, each of which essentially consists of a capacitor, must be periodically refreshed to retain data stored in the DRAM device. Refresh is typically performed by activating each row of memory cells in an array, which essentially reads data bits from the memory cells in each row and then internally writes those same data bits back to the same cells in the row. This refresh is generally performed at a rate needed to keep charge stored in the memory cells from leaking excessively between refreshes. Since refresh involves accessing data bits in a large number of memory cells at a rapid rate, refresh tends to be a particularly power-hungry operation. Thus many attempts to reduce power consumption in DRAM devices have focused on reducing the rate at which power is consumed during refresh.
The amount of power consumed by refresh also depends on which of several refresh modes is active. A self-refresh mode is normally active during periods when data are not being read from or written to the DRAM device. Since many electronic devices, such as notebook computers, are often inactive for substantial periods of time, the amount of power consumed during self-refresh can be an important factor in determining how long the electronic device can be used after a battery charge. While power is also consumed at a significant rate during other refresh modes when the DRAM device is active, the DRAM device is consuming power at a significant rate anyway while the data stored therein are being accessed. Therefore, if the power consumption during self-refresh can be reduced, the rate of power consumption during refresh can be significantly reduced.
One technique that has been used to reduce the amount of power consumed by refreshing DRAM memory cells varies the refresh rate as a function of temperature. As is well known in the art, the rate at which charge leaks from a DRAM memory cell increases with temperature. The refresh rate must be sufficiently high to ensure that no data is lost at the highest temperature in the specified range of operating temperatures of the DRAM device. Yet, DRAM devices normally operate at temperatures that are substantially lower than their maximum operating temperature. Therefore, DRAM devices are generally refreshed at a rate that is higher than the rate actually need to prevent data from being lost, and, in doing so, unnecessarily consume power. To address this problem, some commercially available DRAM devices allow the user to program a mode register to select a lower maximum operating temperature. The DRAM device then adjusts the refresh rate to correspond to the maximum operating temperature selected by the user. Although adjusting the refresh rate to correspond to a lower maximum operating temperature does reduce the rate of power consumed during refresh, it nevertheless still allows power to be consumed at a significant rate. If the refresh rate was reduced beyond a safe limit, at least some of the memory cells might not be refreshed before that data stored therein was lost. Data subsequently read from the DRAM device would then contain erroneous data bits.
There is therefore a need for a method and system that reduces the power consumed by a DRAM device during refresh in at least some operating modes without risking a loss of data stored in the DRAM device.
A method and system for storing data in a dynamic random access memory (“DRAM”) device in either a normal operating mode when the DRAM device is active or a power-saving mode when the DRAM device is inactive. In the normal operating mode, data may be read from or written to the DRAM device, and memory cells in the DRAM device are refreshed at a first rate that is sufficiently high to prevent any data errors from being generated. In the power-saving mode, the memory cells in the DRAM device are scrubbed at a second rate that is substantially less than the first rate. The second rate may be sufficiently low that data errors are generated, but error correction techniques used in the memory scrubbing procedure correct any errors that are generated. The relatively low scrubbing rate inherently refreshes the memory cells at a sufficiently low rate that substantially less power is consumed compared to refresh in the normal operating mode.
One embodiment of a computer system 10 containing a DRAM device 12 that uses relatively little refresh power in at least some operating modes is shown in
The computer system 10 also includes a conventional Peripheral Interface and Power Management Module 40 coupled to the system controller 20 through a peripheral bus 44. The Peripheral Interface and Power Management Module 40 is coupled to a conventional Power Regulation and Control circuit 46 thorough signals lines 48. The system controller 20 may also be coupled to a video device (not shown) through a graphics bus 50.
As is well known in the art, the Peripheral Interface and Power Management Module 40 couples the CPU 14 through the system controller 20 to various peripheral devices (not shown), including an input device such as a keyboard or a mouse, an output device such as a printer, and a data storage device such as a hard disk or a floppy disk. The Peripheral Interface and Power Management Module 40 also couples the CPU 14 to the Power Regulation and Control circuit 46, The Power Regulation and Control circuit 46 generates various signals on respective signals lines 52 for controlling the power consumed by the computer system 10.
As explained in greater detail below, the DRAM device 12 uses the scrubbing controller 38 to operate in either of two modes. When the DRAM device 12 is active, it operates in a normal mode in which it refreshes the memory cells in an array either periodically or in response to refresh commands. In this normal mode, the DRAM device 12 consumes a relatively large amount of power. When the DRAM device 12 is inactive, it operates in a power-saving mode in which it essentially refreshes the DRAM memory cells at a rate that is sufficiently low that data bits may be lost from memory cells in the array. However, in this power-saving mode, the DRAM device 12 performs a “memory scrubbing” process in which data are stored in the DRAM device 12 in a conventional error correcting code (“ECC”) format. The data are then periodically read from the DRAM device 12, and, if any errors have developed, corrected data are written to the DRAM device 12 in ECC format. More specifically, when transitioning to the power-saving mode, the data are read from the DRAM device 12, and check bits are derived from the read data in a conventional manner. As is known in the art, the number of check bits generated will depend on the number of data bits, the number of errors that are to be correctable, and whether an additional bit will be used to detect an additional error that cannot be corrected. The check bits and data bits, which together constitute an ECC, are then stored in the DRAM device 12.
Thereafter, in the memory scrubbing procedure, the ECC is read from the DRAM device 12, and check bits are derived from the data portion of the read ECC in the same manner that the check bits stored in the DRAM device 12 were derived. The derived check bits are then compared to the check bits in the read ECC to generate a syndrome. The syndrome indicates whether any of the bits of the read ECC are in error, and, if so, the location of the bit error(s). The information provided by the syndrome is used to correct the bit(s), and a corrected ECC is then written to the DRAM device 12 device. By periodically correcting “soft” errors in the DRAM device, the memory cells in the DRAM device 12 can be refreshed at a rate that is sufficiently low that may allow some data storage errors to be developed, thereby substantially reducing the power consumption of the DRAM device 12.
The memory scrubbing process inherently refreshes the memory cells because it requires that data be read from the memory array. However, the rate at which the memory scrubbing occurs can be relatively low since any errors that are created by the low refresh rate can be corrected. As a result, the power consumption of the DRAM device 12 is substantially reduced during refresh.
The above-described error correcting procedure is performed using conventional algorithms that have been used in memory devices where refresh occurs at the normal rate but absolute reliability of data storage is required. Conventional DRAM devices have used ECC even though the error rate of DRAM devices is relatively small, since data errors can occur even when there are no “hard” errors resulting from inoperative memory cells. Such “soft” errors can be caused by, for example, stray alpha particles, power supply fluctuations, noise, or by a variety of other conditions. Typical approaches to checking and correcting memory errors rely upon some form of error correction code that are typically generated by a mathematical algorithm that is applied to the data to be checked and corrected. Any of these conventional error correcting processes may be used in the memory scrubbing process.
The system may also include a temperature sensor 56 for use by some embodiments of the invention to control the scrub rate during the power-saving mode. As is known in the art, the rate at which charge leaks from DRAM memory cells increases with temperature. By using the temperature sensor 56, the rate at which the scrubbing process is performed can be increased with increasing ambient temperature and decreased with decreasing ambient temperature to provide optimum power saving without permitting excessive data errors.
One embodiment of the scrubbing controller 38 is shown in
The location in the DRAM device 12 from which the data are read and to which the data are written responsive to these control signals is determined by an address generated by an SC Counter/Comparator 66 that is coupled to the DRAM device 12 through the address bus 26. The SC counter/comparator 66 receives data “MemSize” indicative of the data capacity of the DRAM device 12 from another component in the computer system 10, such as the CPU 14 (
The data bus 28 of the DRAM device 12 is coupled to an input of a data input register 70 and to an output from a data output register 72. Similarly, the check bit bus 30 is coupled to an input of a check bit input register 76 and to an output from a check bit output register 78. Outputs from the data input register 78 and the check bit input register 76 are coupled to inputs of an ECC Generator Checker 80, and outputs from the ECC Generator Checker 80 are applied to inputs of the check bit output register 78 and the data output register 72.
In operation, after the start of a memory scrubbing procedure, the state machine 60 generates control signals, and the SC Counter/Comparator 66 generates an address, to read data and an associated check bits from the DRAM device 12. The data and check bits are coupled through input registers 70, 76, respectively, to the ECC Generator Checker 80, which performs a conventional ECC algorithm to determine if there are any errors in the data or check bits. If so, the ECC Generator Checker 80 generates corrected data and/or check bits in a conventional manner, which are coupled through output register 72, 78, respectively, for storage in the DRAM device 12. When the ECC Generator Checker 80 detects an error, it generates an “Error” signal that is applied to the Memory Control State Machine 60. In response, the State Machine 60 generates appropriate control signals to cause the DRAM device 12 to store the corrected data and check bits, preferably at the same location from which the data and check bits were read. The SC Counter/Comparator 66 is then incremented to cause the data and check bits stored at the next memory location to be analyzed. This process is repeated until the data and check bits stored in all memory locations have been analyzed and, if necessary, corrected. The SC Counter/Comparator 66 then generates a “Done” signal, which is applied to the Memory Control State Machine 60 so that the State Machine 38 can terminate the memory scrubbing process.
After the memory scrubbing process has been completed, the scrubbing controller 38 remains inactive until the scrubbing process is to be repeated. For this purpose, a scrub refresh counter (“SRC”) 90 is loaded with a time constant “Tconst” from a Tconst Register 94 at the end of the prior scrubbing process responsive to a “Load” pulse applied to the SRC 90. The SRC 90 is then periodically decremented by successive SRC Decr pulses generated by another component in the computer system 10, such as the CPU 14. When the count of the SRC 90 reaches zero, the SRC 90 generates a “Zero” pulse, which indicates that the time period from the prior scrubbing procedure has lapsed and a new scrubbing procedure must be performed. The “Zero” pulse may be applied to, for example, an interrupt port the CPU 14 to allow the CPU 14 to initiate the memory scrubbing procedure.
In one embodiment of the invention, the value of the time constant Tconst may be incremented responsive to Tconst Incr pulses applied to the register 94 and decremented responsive to Tconst Decr pulses applied to the register 94. As a result, the value of the time constant Tconst may be adapted to operational parameters, such as the number of errors found during the scrubbing process or the temperature of the DRAM device 12.
The operation of the computer system 10 using the scrubbing controller 38 according to one embodiment of the invention will now be explained with reference to the flow chart shown in
As explained above, the State Machine 60 generates appropriate control signals to read data and the associated check bits from a memory location at step 114. The ECC Generator Checker 80 then generates check bits in a conventional manner from the read data at step 118. A syndrome is generated at step 120 by comparing the generated check bits to the check bits read from memory, and a determination is made from the Syndrome whether the read ECC is correct. The syndrome may indicate that no errors exist in the data or check bits of the ECC read from the DRAM device 12. If, however, the syndrome indicates that an error exists in the read data or check bits, the ECC Generator Checker corrects the read data and/or check bits, and the State Machine 60 generates appropriate control signals at step 124 to write the corrected data and/or check bits to the DRAM device 12 at step 124, as previously explained. An ErrorFlag is then set True at step 128.
After data and the associated check bits are read from the DRAM device 12 and, if necessary, corrected data and check bits are stored in the DRAM device 12, the scrub count value SC indicative of the current memory location is incremented at step 130. The incremented value SC is then compared to the capacity of the DRAM device 12 at step 134 to determine if all of the memory locations in the DRAM device 12 have been scrubbed. The capacity of the DRAM device 12 is indicated by the MemSize data applied to the SC Counter/Comparator 66, as previously explained. If all of the memory locations have not been scrubbed, the process returns to step 114 to scrub the next memory location in the DRAM device 12. If all the memory locations have been scrubbed, a check is made at step 138 to determine if the DRAM device 12 has been transitioned out of the inactive, power-saving mode. If so, the process exits at 140. Otherwise, the process returns to step 102 to wait until the next scrubbing process should be initiated, as previously explained.
The value of the time constant Tconst stored in the register 94 (
If no memory error is detected at 152, a determination is made at 156 whether the maximum value of the time constant has been reached. If not, the time constant Tconst is incremented at 158 before a determination is made at 138 whether memory scrubbing should continue. If the maximum value of the time constant has been reached, the process reaches step 138 without any increase in the value of the time constant. If the time constant adjusting process 150 shown in
The time constant adjusting process 150 adjust the value of the time constant Tconst so that the number of memory errors detected and corrected each scrubbing procedure will generally be either zero or one error. However, the process 150 can be easily adapted to set the time constant Tconst so that any desired number of errors within the error correcting capability of the ECC Generator Checker 80 will be detected and corrected. For example, instead of setting a Error Flag True responsive to detecting an error, the count of a counter could be incremented each time an error was detected. Instead of checking the state of the Error Flag at step 152, the count of the counter would then the compared to a value corresponding to the desired number of errors to determine if the time constant should be incremented or decremented. Other variations will be apparent to one skilled in the art.
The value of the time constant Tconst may be adapted to operating conditions other than the number of memory errors. For example, as previously mentioned, the frequency at which the scrubbing procedure is performed may be adjusted as a function of the temperature of the DRAM device 12. The initial value of the time constant Tconst may be adjusted as a function of temperature using the procedure 170 shown in
To the scrubbing procedure shown in
The single location is scrubbed by first reading date and an associated check bits from the DRAM device 12 at step 190. The ECC Generator Checker 80 generates check bits corresponding to the read data at step 192. The generated check bits and the read check bits are then processed to generate a syndrome at step 196. If the syndrome indicates there are errors in the read data and/or check bits, the ECC Generator Checker 80 uses the information provided by the syndrome to correct the erroneous data and/or check bits. The corrected data and check bits are then written to the DRAM device 12 at step 200. The Error Flag is also set True at step 202. A determination is then made at step 206 as to whether the end of the memory array has been reached. Also, if the syndrome indicates at step 196 that no errors are detected, the procedure jumps to step 206 without writing corrected data and/or check bits at step 200 or setting the Error Flag True at step 202.
If the last memory location in the DRAM device 12 has not been reached, the SC count in the SC Counter/Comparator 90 is incremented at step 208 before returning to reset the time constant Tconst at step 184. The procedure then waits in the loop 186, 188 before scrubbing the next location in memory, as previously explained. If a determination is made at 206 that the entire memory array has been scrubbed, a determination is made at 210 if scrubbing is to continue. If so, the procedure returns to step 182 to reset the count of the SC Counter/Comparator 66 to the first memory location and to set the Error Flag False at step 182. If a determination is made at step 210 that memory scrubbing will terminate, the procedure exits at 212.
The presence of the Error Flag presumes, of course, that the time constant adjusting procedure 150 shown in

The command decoder 248 causes the DRAM device 230 to operate in either of two modes. In a normal operating mode, the DRAM device 230 is active and able to write data to or read data from the array 236. During this operating mode, the refresh controller 250 refreshes the memory cells in the array 236 at a rate that is sufficiently high to ensure that no data errors are generated in the array 236. In a power-saving mode, the scrubbing controller 232 causes the memory cells in the array 236 to be scrubbed, as previously explained.
Although the scrubbing controller 232 may be substantially as shown in
From the foregoing it will be appreciated that, although specific embodiments of the invention have been described herein for purposes of illustration, various modifications may be made without deviating from the spirit and scope of the invention. Accordingly, the invention is not limited except as by the appended claims.

Very minor note (and probably irrelevant to most of you), but last night at the New York ColdFusion User Group, I discovered that CFFlush does not work inside of ColdFusion 8's new CFLayout tag (and other layout based tags most likely). While this might not seem like a big deal, just realize that if you use CFLayout to build your entire site structure, this means that content cannot be flushed to the client until the entire page has been constructed on the ColdFusion application server.
Again, this probably doesn't mean anything to most of you, and for those of you who use CFSaveContent-based frameworks, this is something you are used to; however, for me, somehow, in my gut, I just feel that CFFlush is important. I can't tell you exactly why, I just feel it in my core.
Looking For A New Job?
- 7 Year Lead Programmer with MSSQL expertise to assist in live website at Atprime Media Services
- .Net Developer at LendingUSA
- ColdFusion Application Developer / Portland Oregon at DealerPeak
- Web Applications Developer at University of California, Davis
Also, cflayout tags wont work correctly on a full CSS layout, the Database Explorer application of Raymond Camden, doesnt work for me on FULL CSS layouts.
I think the recent update to CF was supposed to address something like this..
Ben you are the only developer who even uses cfflush. What a waste of a post and time! Sheesh! :) I tried the tag a few months back out of curiosity but never have had a need for it. How was the presentation? Hopefully you learned some neat things on cflayout.
Great, now I have to do a post on the valid uses of CFFlush ;)
It was ok. I think the layout things that are going to be most useful are the ones that are tied to AJAX content updates. The CSS aspects I was not all that impressed with. Of course, we didn't cover it in-depth, that was just my preliminary feeling.
I have to agree with Ben here. I only came across CFFlush relatively recently (though I'm sure I tried to find out if this was possible many years ago - perhaps it was introduced later), and do think it has a useful role to play in certain circumstances.
While it's not an everyday 'cool' feature, it is one of those things that just comes in damn handy for certain tasks we have to perform from time to time..
I use CFFLUSH for an application that interfaces with a payment terminal. It's really important that my web page display the current status of a payment, because user input is required through the web page (eg. Did the customer sign the payment slip? a "yes" or "no" button must be clicked)
I can't think of any way this would work without CFFLUSH..... which is causing me a lot of drama when it works perfectly in a CF8 Test environment and not at all in my CF8 Production enroironment!
Our CFFLUSH issues were related to the IIS6 "feature" that requires 73729 bytes in its buffer before it'll flush. We fixed it with a #repeatString(" ",73729)# before each CFFLUSH.
I'm using ColdFusion 10 with IIS6 and CFFlush isn't working at all... even with the above-mentioned "73729 bytes" trick. (We haven't had any issues with CF8/9, IIS6 and CFFlush.)
I've reported it as a bug (w/sample CF code to duplicate the problem):
Can anyone else confirm or deny that CFFlush functions properly on ColdFusion 10? (I'm using Developer version on Windows 7 64bit OS w/IIS6.)
I guess in order for CFFlush to work, some manual text editing of config files is required... I missed this when installing and will now need to remind myself this whenever reinstalling CF10. (CF8 & 9 didn't behave this way.)
To disable webserver buffer, change the is_buffer_enable to false in the cfroot\config\wsconfig\1\isapi_redirect.properties file. Disable webserver buffer if you want cfflush to work over an IIS connector. If your application does not use cfflush, set it to true for increase in the performance.

New York and Maryland – Today, four leading experts in law, medicine, and addiction treatment, Robert G. Newman, MD, MPH, Lynn M. Paltrow, JD, Sharon Stancliff, MD, FAAFP and Mishka Terplan, MD, MPH, FACOG, Diplomate, ABAM, released to Task Force members and the public their analysis of theFinal Report issued by the Florida Statewide Task Force on Prescription Drug Abuse and Newborns, urging Florida to give greater attention to existing well-established medical protocols and to address the needs of pregnant women, including the need for greater access to Medication Assistance Treatment and health services that are not linked to punitive criminal justice and unnecessary child welfare interventions.
The Florida Statewide Task Force on Prescription Drug Abuse and Newborns, created by the 2012 Florida Legislature and chaired by Attorney General Pam Bondi, was charged with “examining the scope of [Neonatal Abstinence Syndrome “NAS”] in Florida, its long-term effects and the costs associated with caring for drug exposed babies, and which drug prevention and intervention strategies work best with pregnant mothers.” Their report was issued in February 2013.
While the Experts commend the Task Force for its efforts, they identified numerous concerns about the report and the limitations of the information presented to and considered by the Task Force. Dr. Robert Newman, MD, MPH, Director, Baron Edmond de Rothschild Chemical Dependency Institute of Beth Israel Medical Center in New York explained, "We are very concerned that this Report -- one that will influence policy in Florida and that may be relied upon by other states -- uses language and makes findings that perpetuate misinformation about NAS, pregnant women, and opiate use." He added, "the Report contains views on treatment for pregnant women and newborns with NAS that do not reflect known, medically tested treatment protocols."
The Experts’ assessment also raised concerns about:
- The conflation of drug exposed newborns with those actually diagnosed with NAS;
- Acknowledgment of, but a failure to address, key barriers to care and treatment;
- Suggested public awareness campaigns that use inaccurate and counterproductive language that stigmatizes pregnant women;
- The Task Force’s membership, which did not include experts specifically in opioid dependence, or women who were or have been pregnant while opioid dependent.
The full text of this analysis is attached. It is also available online. In addition, more than 40 experts recently released an open letter urging media to end to inaccurate reporting on prescription opiate use by pregnant women. That letter is available here.

Mr Samuel Brown, the Founder of the company, which involved coal haulage. However, this was short-lived due to the interruption of World War II.
After the war
When the war ended, Samuel’s son, Herbert Brown, resumed the business started by his father. Then Herbert officially named the company H Brown. Horse and Cart was traditionally used to deliver clay, coke and coal to the pottery industry. This, we think, may have been our first ever waste disposal contract. The cart was then used to remove shraff and waste once a delivery was complete.
Becoming a family company
William H Brown joined the business and the company became H BROWN & SON. Expansion continued with the acquisition of Wilkes Bros haulage of Harriseahead and our first two 10 tonne tipper lorries were added to the business.
Waste disposal was added to our bulk coal and clay deliveries. Some of our main contracts included: Royal Doultons, H & R Johnsons, W.H.Grindley and Thomas Boultons Ltd. Herbert Brown retired during the 1960’s and his son, William H Brown took over as Managing Director. The company expanded its waste and coal operations by transporting coal to Cornwall and returning with clay for the pottery industry.
H Brown & Son branched out into providing coaches for the leisure industry.
Roderick W Brown, son of William H Brown, joined the company. The aim of the company,as the recession ended, was to concentrate on waste disposal and recycling.
The coach business was sold and, due to miners unrest and uncertainties over future industrial coal usage, the bulk tipper fleet was gradually wound down. However, the waste and recycling side of the business began to flourish.
Expansion of the company
William and Roderick purchased George Singer Ltd, a metals processor. H Brown & Son added a licensed waste transfer facility to the site forming Singers Ltd.
Becoming Stoke-on-Trent's largest independent waste company
William retired and Roderick took control as Managing Director, with new ideas of becoming the largest independent waste company in Staffordshire. During the forthcoming years, H Brown & Son purchased Booths Newcastle Ltd, Trojan Prospects Ltd and, more recently, R D Delicata. With the merger of all these companies, we are the largest independent waste company in Stoke-on-Trent.
Keeping it in the family!
Mitchel R Brown joined the company, with the future of the company set to continue through him. Mitchel is presently working through all the roles at the company and, in time, will assume control.
H Brown Recycling Ltd expands after a £3.5million investment in cutting-edge green technology.
Staffordshire's finest waste disposal company!
H Brown Recycling Ltd named as one of the top 100 businesses in Staffordshire.

A high-ranking city official is declining to intervene in a dispute between the nonprofit Richmond Symphony and the city-run Richmond Coliseum over rival Michael Jackson concerts.
The symphony appealed to Richmond Chief Administrative Officer Byron Marshall after the Coliseum booked Cirque du Soleil's "Michael Jackson: the Immortal World Tour" for April 15 and 16. That's three days after the symphony planned its own take on the King of Pop, a show called the "Music of Michael Jackson."
"We know the city needs revenue from the Coliseum, but we also know the city does not want revenue at the expense of Richmond's own nonprofit, performing arts companies and its CenterStage performing arts venues," wrote Philip H. Bennett, chair of the symphony's board of directors, in a letter to Marshall.
The Coliseum announced the Cirque du Soleil booking last week. The symphony committed to its show a year ago, Bennett wrote, saying it represented a significant financial risk because it required $100,000 in ticket sales as well as sponsorships.
But there was no way the symphony could compete with Cirque, Bennett told Marshall, so the board voted to scrap its concert. As a result, the symphony lost its corporate sponsor and had to refund $12,600 in presale tickets.
"Cirque's advertising spend will vastly exceed ours and our concern is that our Michael Jackson show will be out-marketed and out-sold by Cirque's as a result," Bennett wrote. "Further, continuing to market our concert to the public … as if we were unaware of a rival show would be disingenuous."
Bennett asked Marshall to direct SMG, the multinational venue management company that operates the Coliseum for the city, to make a $6,270 "compensatory payment from the projected profits of the Cirque show" to cover the Richmond Symphony's cost of reprinting publicity materials.
CenterStage also has a contract with SMG to operate the Landmark Theater and the Carpenter Theatre, where the symphony is a resident company. Because of the overlap, Bennett said SMG is in a position to prevent such conflicts. He asked Marshall to direct SMG to coordinate programming across venues in the future.
In a letter of response dated Jan. 29, Marshall said he thought it would be inappropriate for him to tell SMG to make any payments to the symphony. But Marshall said the regional manager for SMG assured him the company "will continue to make efforts to improve coordination with programming partners, and has committed to help promote your replacement show."
Style Weekly obtained a copy of the exchange from the city through a Freedom of Information Act request. A spokesman for the symphony declined to comment further.
Dwight Johnson, SMG's general manager for the Coliseum, says in a statement that Cirque du Soleil asked SMG to hold the date "quite some time ago," but that it only recently learned what performance the group planned to bring to Richmond.
"We are respectful of our local resident companies and whenever a possible or perceived conflict arises we make every effort to inform them," he says. As soon as SMG learned the details of Cirque's show, "we contacted the Symphony immediately."
The symphony seems to have found a fallback pop-rock group, according to its website. On April 12, the day its Michael Jackson concert was scheduled to take place, it will perform the music of the Rolling Stones.

The marketing landscape has drastically changed over the last few years as a result of new technology and methods of communication.
As a marketer, it’s imperative that we not only stay conscious of these changes, but we must change with them, especially if our goal is long-term relevance in the business world. During my first month as an intern at South Street and Co., I learned one thing that is crucial to getting exposure in today’s business world.
Google is one of the most widely utilized search engines and a lot of business owners are taking advantage of this tool in hopes of receiving the most exposure. Typically when a search query is made, millions of results are populated. However, the results that are usually clicked are those that are seen first.
There are many ways one can get exposure to their content, but from experience, search engine optimization (SEO) is the most effective. Among the many SEO techniques you could use, strategically utilizing “Most Popular” keywords in your website content helps a great deal.
One way to utilize your keywords (or key phrases) the best is creating written blog content using a simple format. This format allows you to use your phrase more than once in the most effective way possible.
Basically, your keyword (or phrase) should be found in the title of the blog, in one subheading (if you break it up into sections), and at least 3 times in the body of your blog (depending on the length). This allows Google to choose your content over all other results, because not only are you using a popular keyword (or phrase), but you use it multiple times, telling Google that your content is the most relevant.
If you do this on multiple occasions, on multiple pages of your website, using keywords most relevant to your business, your website will most likely be ranked higher than all other search results.
So, not only did I learn the technique of using popular keywords on your website, but I learned firsthand where and how they can be placed strategically. I was able to apply what I learned to a real-world situation, which is exactly how I like to learn.

Information about our Charities
We are really excited about the week and feel it will bring some much-needed joy and community spirit to the school after what has been a very tough year. Below we share with you the charities we have chosen to support.
We are proudly supporting the Uttlesford Foodbank this year in their efforts to ensure no child in the local area goes hungry over Christmas. See the Foodbank Collection page for furhter details.
Accuro are a local charity working in West Essex. They work to eliminate the social isolation of people with disabilities, by helping boost their confidence and supporting them in the wider world. Every Saturday, Accuro host two play clubs in Saffron Walden, helping children and young people with a range of disabilities and needs. They also offer an adult friendship scheme that operates in Uttlesford, providing adults with a disability the chance to engage in social activities with friends in the community. Sadly, the pandemic has limited much of the support Accuro can offer and so we are really pleased to be trying to support them in their essential and inspiring work, even in these exceptional times.
Winston’s Wish is a wonderful charity which has provided emotional bereavement support to children since 1992. It is estimated that 100 children per day are bereaved of a parent and sadly, during these current times, this number is increasing. Winston’s Wish has helped thousands of children through unimaginably difficult periods of their lives and with our support we know they will help many more. We believe it to be more important than ever to support a charity providing such amazing services for children who are facing traumatic emotional difficulties, particularly during the current times when sadly, many children across the country will have lost a family member to COVID-19.
Home Start Essex
Home Start Essex are a charity that supports families who are disadvantaged or experiencing tough times. The charity helps families with young children living in poverty, suffering from illness, or supporting single parents alongside many other issues that are very common in our society. Unfortunately, many families have suffered as a result of the COVID-19 crisis and have been put under great strain. Over 2019 within Essex alone, 1123 children were supported in over 589 families and no doubt this year’s demand is even higher. We are therefore proudly supporting Home Start Essex as one of this year’s chosen charities to help best support young families in the local area.
Cystic Fibrosis Trust
With cases remaining high in society, we felt it was essential to support those who are continuously placed under high risk due to the pandemic. Cystic fibrosis is a life threatening, genetically inherited disease which causes thick mucus to build up and clog certain organs, such as the lungs, pancreas, and intestines, and affects over 70,000 people worldwide. This charity goes above and beyond in order to conduct ground-breaking research, all over the country, to best support people with cystic fibrosis. We hope to help such an amazing charity that pursues research into a currently uncurable disease, which drastically shortens the life expectancy of many people across the country.
We really appreciate your support and are so excited for a week of fun!
If you have any questions, or feel you can further support us in our fundraising over Charities Week, please get in contact with the Main Office or Mr D. Crittenden in the Sixth Form (firstname.lastname@example.org).
Thank you in advance for your generosity in support this year’s Charities Week.
The Sixth Form Student Committee
