Manama: Kuwait has warned its citizens and expatriate residents that those who failed to pay their traffic fines would be banned from travelling, starting next month (October, 2013).
The defaulters will also lose their right to all operations related to the interior ministry, including the renewal of licences and residence permits, Abdul Fattah Al Aali, the assistant undersecretary for traffic, said.
An accord has been reached between the various departments of the ministry on starting to implement the measures in October, he said, local Arabic daily Al Rai reported on Wednesday.
The official who has been conducting a relentless campaign to ensure full compliance with the law said that the state was able to recover 38 million dinars (Dh488.71 million) of the 41 million dinars that companies and establishments owed the state in fines and penalties.
“Now, it is the turn of the citizens and the residents to pay up their dues,” he said.
According to the official, the traffic authorities have discovered that 20,000 forged driving licences had been issued since 2010.
“We have withdrawn 7,000 forged licences, and we are working on taking out and cancelling all the others.”
He said that expatriates summoned to the traffic directorate should come forth and hand their licences, assuring them that there would be “no questions asked”.
However, those who fail to show up to hand back the licences will face forgery charges and will be deported, the official said.
Under a new decision by the interior minister, a Kuwaiti sponsoring an expatriate can request the cancellation of his licence if he leaves work or absconds.
“This decision applies to the licences issued after April 1, 2013. We have so far cancelled the licences of around 2,000 expatriates who have left their sponsors,” he said. “Those who are deported from the country automatically lose their Kuwaiti licences as well.”
Al Aali, who had come under attack, mainly from the opposition, for his strong approach towards foreign drivers who commit several traffic offences, said that the trend to end the chaos and impose road discipline would continue.
“I am not an abusive person, but I do apply the law and assume my responsibilities to save lives and protect people from reckless drivers. The expatriates who do not respect the law should be sent home. We will deport the irresponsible expatriates who do not respect the laws of the country,” he said. “We have also extended the vehicle impounding period from two to four months and drivers can now be held for 48 hours for the sake of the investigation and the normal procedures.”

Despite massive gushes of credit pumped into the system each month, Chinese consumer price inflation (CPI) hit a seven-month low in Dec. 2013.
In a typical economy, this would make no sense. Ebbing inflation, alongside slowing GDP growth, are not what you see when monetary policy is loose. But China isn’t a typical economy.
Where economists disagree is on what a slowing inflation rate does say about China’s money supply. Slate’s Matthew Yglesias argued that something “people are missing about the China slowdown is that monetary policy keeps getting tighter.” Patrick Chovanec, an economist at Silvercrest Asset Management, takes the opposite position. ”Every time the CPI rate looks moderate, people say [China has] more room for monetary easing to boost the economy,” he tells Quartz. “[But] monetary policy is already horrendously loose in China.” Michael Pettis, a finance professor at Peking University, concurs: CPI “is not the appropriate measure by which to gauge domestic monetary conditions.”
Why does this matter? Because just how tight or loose monetary policy is—and, as it turns out, for whom—makes all the difference to China’s chances of “rebalancing” its economy without crashing it.
What makes China unlike Western economies is that the government, not the market, determines the interest rates—in other words, the cost of money—on both deposits and loans. By setting them both artificially low, the government shifts wealth from savers to borrowers.
The more money pumping into the system, the more borrowers benefit. And pump it does: controlling the value of China’s currency versus the dollar forces China’s central bank to spew enormous sums of money into its financial system.
As for China’s hapless savers, the closed capital account leaves them unable to invest in much else, so despite lousy rates, they keep stashing their cash in banks.
This unfair distribution is why the money supply can surge without juicing consumer inflation. To achieve a similar effect, a market-based system would have to do something like this, argues Pettis:
Imagine if somehow the US were to enact a law whose result was that every time the Fed expanded the money supply, a one-off tax was imposed on households, the proceeds of which were transferred to corporate borrowers. In that case monetary expansion would be much less likely to cause an increase in demand for consumer products, and so would create much less consumer price inflation, and much more likely to cause a surge in production.
So what about monetary policy—has it, as Yglesias argues, been getting tighter?
The answer is that it has for some but not at all for others. Thanks to China’s two-tiered system, monetary policy that’s looser for producers is simultaneously tighter for consumers.
This two-track system amplifies changes in money supply. When money creation eases, growth tends to tank, as it did in 2012. That’s a big reason why maintaining 6-8% GDP growth while “rebalancing” China’s economy—shifting away from investment and toward consumption-led growth—is so tricky.
It’s also why China’s debt makes interest-rate liberalization so fraught. Chinese businesses are already spending an eye-popping 39% of China’s GDP paying interest. Shifting money back toward consumers leaves less to go toward those payments. And that means lots of companies would go belly-up.

Insane. I saw Mad Max Fury Road with my dad and that was the only word either of us could use to describe this movie. If you were like me then you got a rush of adrenaline watching each of the 394948 trailers (seriously they made a ton of those things). And you get that same rush of adrenaline for the whole runtime of the movie. The whole thing is basically one big action scene. And I know what you are thinking. Even as a huge action movie fan, a whole movie as one big action scene sounds exhausting and would really bring the movie down. But somehow, based on the directing, acting, and short (very short) breaks in the action that advance the plot, it really works in this movie.
The positives far outweigh the very few negatives in this one. The movie is very well directed and the cinematography is amazing. The look of the movie is incredible especially during things like the sandstorm scene shown partially in the trailers. You could tell most of the effects and stunts were practical rather than relying too much on CGI like most movies these days and that made the movie feel fresh and really added to the entertainment value. The action scenes are very memorable as well. The acting is good. Tom Hardy is great as usual as Max, the supporting cast in good; no super weak ones from my point of view. But Charlize Theron really steals the show and does a great job. The movie focuses on her a ton and she doesn’t disappoint.
The biggest negative is that the movie ends. I was having such a great time with it that I was disappointed it had to end. The only real negative though is, no doubt due to the almost nonstop action, the lack of any real character development. There is some during the short slow parts but not enough to get you super invested in any of the characters and really care about them. We also never really learn much about the villains themselves.
But enough of the negatives because this movie is great. I have seen all the other Mad Max movies (not necessary to see this one) and wasn’t a huge fan but this movie gets me interested in where this universe can go. It is a must see (in theaters if possible) and easily overtakes Age of Ultron (read that review here) as the best movie of the summer so far. My score for Mad Max Fury Road: 4.5/5 (Comparison scores: The original Mad Max: 3/5, Age of Ultron: 3.75)

My name’s Anthony Gaughan and I work as an English Language Teacher and Teacher-Trainer in Germany. I started working in ELT in 1995 and over the past 21 years I have mostly worked in the UK and Germany, with short trips to Poland, Czech Republic, Greece, Hungary, Slovenia and Slovakia.
These days, I mostly work as a main course tutor and assessor for the CELTA award. I also work as a Delta Module 2 tutor, and have also worked as a local tutor for the Distance Delta as well as an online tutor for the Trinity Diploma in TESOL, specialising in methodology.
I hold Qualified Teacher Status (PGCE-QTS) in the UK state education system, the Cambridge ESOL DELTA, a BA in English Language and Literature, and I am currently working on my dissertation for an MA in Applied Linguistics and ELT.
I believe in professional development and I practise what I preach by volunteering for local and international associations, most recently as the coordinator for TDSIG – the Teacher Development Special Interest Group of IATEFL. I also present regularly at local and international ELT conferences, most recently as part of the British Council Signature Event at IATEFL 2015
I am especially interested in unplugged approaches such as DOGME ELT as well as use of technology. As time goes on, I realise more and more that what I am searching for in teaching – and in life – is simplicity.

What is Asthma and Asthma Attack?
Asthma is a life-long (chronic = chronic) disease that requires long-term treatment.
In asthma, non-microbial inflammation (inflammatory) is seen in the airways.
What Are the Symptoms of Asthma?
In asthma, there is redness, swelling and narrowing of the airways in the lungs; this leads to recurrent respiratory complaints.
Excessive cough, wheezing, shortness of breath and chest pressure.
Symptoms of asthma worsening during exercise.
Symptoms of asthma caused by triggering factors such as dust, animal hair, pollen, cigarette smoke, changes in weather conditions or certain medications. Asthma attacks can range from slowly worsening attacks to rapidly worsening attacks.
How is Asthma Diagnosed?
For the diagnosis of asthma, first of all, the characteristics of the complaints and the presence of asthma in the family are questioned.
Shortness of breath, wheezing, coughing and pressure in the chest, especially during the night and/or morning.
Bouts of asthma caused by a warning such as allergens or cigarette smoke.
The presence of asthma and/or other allergic diseases in the family is important for the diagnosis of asthma.
Asthma complaints are not always typical as mentioned above. In this case, pulmonary function tests may be required.
Pulmonary function tests help to identify the presence and severity of airway stenosis as well as to distinguish some asthma-misdiagnosed diseases.
How to Treat Asthma?
Asthma may not be completely eliminated. However, asthma can be fully controlled by appropriate treatment and good patient-doctor collaboration.
Good control of asthma means fewer hospitalizations and improved quality of life.
Objectives of Asthma Treatment
For asthma patients, complaints are often the only goal. However, this expectation of patients may mask the actual situation. Because it is important to treat inflammation (inflammation).
Two groups of drugs with different effects are used in the treatment of asthma:
- Controlling drugs
- Relaxing medicines
Most of the drugs used to treat asthma are given by inhalation; medicines thus reach the airways directly.
The goals of asthma treatment are:
- Lack of day and night complaints
- Making the work comfortable
- Little need for relaxing medication
- No need to apply to the emergency department
- Maintain control provided.
- Drugs in this group treat asthma and control asthma.
- Respiratory steroids belong to this group.
- These drugs should be used daily and for a long time.
- If the patient discontinues treatment without consulting his doctor, thinking that he has recovered, the disease will reappear.
- Effects are felt in a short time.
- This group of medicines should only be used to open the airways when there is a need for shortness of breath.
- If these drugs are heard, asthma does not heal.
Bronchiectasis (Bronchous Expansion)
What is Bronchiectasis?
Bronchiectasis is a condition in which the bronchial tubes in your lungs are permanently damaged, widened and thickened. These damaged air passages allow bacteria and mucus to accumulate in the lungs. This often results in infection and obstruction of the airways.
There is no treatment for bronchiectasis, but it is manageable. With treatment, you can live a normal life. However, exacerbations should be treated to ensure the flow of oxygen to the rest of your body and to prevent further lung damage.
Causes of Bronchiectasis?
Any lung injury can cause bronchiectasis. There are two main categories of this situation. One of these is associated with cystic fibrosis (CF) and is known as CF bronchiectasis. CF is a genetic condition that causes abnormal mucus production.
The other category is non-CF bronchiectasis not associated with CF. The most commonly known conditions that can lead to non-CF bronchiectasis are:
- An abnormal functioning immune system
- Inflammatory bowel disease
- Autoimmune diseases
- Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)
- Alpha 1-antitrypsin deficiency (an inherited cause of COPD)
- Allergic aspergillosis (an allergic lung reaction to fungi)
- Pulmonary infections such as whooping cough and tuberculosis
- CF affects other organs such as lungs, pancreas and liver. This can cause repeated infections in the lungs while disrupting the functioning of other organs.
Symptoms of Bronchiectasis
The symptoms of bronchiectasis may take months or even years to develop. Some typical symptoms are:
- Chronic daily cough
- Blood Spitting
- Wheezing or breathing through the chest
- Shortness of breath
- Chest Pain
- Removing large amounts of phlegm
- Weight Loss
- Bad breath
- Frequent respiratory infections
- Developmental retardation in children
- If you experience any of these symptoms, you should consult your doctor immediately for diagnosis and treatment.
Treatment of Bronchiectasis
There is no cure for bronchiectasis, but treatment is important to help you control the condition. If it is discovered early and infections are kept to a minimum, the damage may slow down and the condition may be easier to manage.
It is also critical to prevent further blockage of the airways and to minimize lung damage. Common methods for the treatment of bronchiectasis include:
- Airway cleaning methods (such as breathing exercises and chest physiotherapy)
- Pulmonary rehabilitation
- Antibiotics to prevent and treat the infection
- Bronchodilators such as albuterol (Proventil) and tiotropium (Spiriva) to open the airways
- Sputum Thinner
- Oxygen therapy
- Vaccines to prevent respiratory infections
If there is bleeding in the lung or bronchiectasis is only part of your lung, surgery may be necessary to remove the affected area.
If conditions such as immune disorders or COPD cause bronchiectasis, treatment of these diseases is necessary.
What is Bronchitis?
Inflammation caused by infection of small air sacs, called bronchioles, causes constriction of the sacs, resulting in greatly reduced lung capacity. Acute bronchitis is the most common condition of the lower respiratory tract.
What are the Symptoms of Bronchitis?
Acute bronchitis usually occurs following upper respiratory tract infection, and the first symptoms observed in the presence of the disease are usually signs of upper respiratory tract infection such as sneezing and runny nose.
Increased infection in the bronchioles may cause high fever and loss of appetite.
As the disease progresses, respiratory distress is observed with the filling of the air sacs and the congestion rate increases.
Increased respiratory distress causes the patient to experience sudden transient cough crises.
One of the most prominent clinical manifestations of the disease is wheezing.
Diagnosis of Bronchitis
The clinical picture of acute bronchitis and asthma bronchitis is very similar and may lead to confusion. Particularly during the first episode of bronchitis, this distinction is extremely difficult to make, but the diagnosis becomes easier with the clinical findings that occur during ongoing attacks. In this respect, the absence of signs of viral infection before bronchitis attack, frequent recurrence of wheezing episodes, presence of a family history of atopy or asthma is strong signs that support the disease as bronchitis asthma.
After the diagnosis of bronchitis, clinical grading is performed to determine the severity of the disease. When performing this procedure, the patient’s respiratory rate, wheezing, retraction and disturbances in the general condition (restlessness, loss of appetite, unconsciousness, etc.) are taken into consideration.
How is Bronchitis Treatment Done?
The goal in treating acute bronchitis is to apply supportive care to the patient and minimize discomfort by reducing symptoms. Treatment is started with bronchodilator (which leads to an expansion in the bronchi) agents in order to normalize the oxygen percentage in the patient and to relieve respiratory distress.
In patients who do not respond to bronchodilator treatment, who have recurrent respiratory attacks and who have severe bronchitis, the anti-inflammatory effect of corticosteroids may be utilized. The effectiveness of the drug therapy applied to the patient should be evaluated at regular intervals, so the whole treatment should be planned by the specialist doctor.
What is Pneumonia?
Pneumonia is commonly known as pneumonia; briefly inflammation of the lung tissue. It occurs due to various microorganisms, especially bacteria. In some types of pneumonia, there is a direct risk of transmission from a sick person to healthy persons. However, the disease usually occurs when microbes in the patient’s own mouth, throat or digestive tract reach the lung. These microbes, which do not normally cause disease, produce pneumonia in people with weakened body defences. Therefore, rather than contamination, the risk factors that break the person’s body resistance play a role in the development of pneumonia.
What are the Symptoms of Pneumonia?
There may be chills, tremors, high fever up to 39-40 ° C, cough, dirty, inflamed (green, yellow, rust) sputum and side pain. Some types of pneumonia are insidious onset. Symptoms such as dry cough, fever, nausea, vomiting, a headache may occur following a few days of loss of appetite, weakness, joint and muscle pain.
Patients with this complaint should consult a doctor. Pneumonia is a health problem that should not be neglected. Early diagnosis and delayed treatment are known to reduce mortality. If the patient’s complaints are compatible with pneumonia, diagnosis can usually be made by examination and chest X-ray findings. Blood and sputum tests can be performed if necessary.
Is Pneumonia Contagious?
Influenza and similar viral respiratory infections that predispose to pneumonia are highly contagious. They can be spread by sneezing and coughing and can be passed on to other people through items such as glasses, handkerchiefs, forks and spoons contaminated with mouth and nose secretions. Pneumonia is one of the most common and most fatal diseases in the world and in our country. Pneumonia can be more fatal, especially in infants, children, the elderly and people with other known diseases. There are several risk factors that make it easier for a person to develop pneumonia. If it is possible to prevent them, pneumonia can be prevented.
Risk factors that facilitate the development of pneumonia in adults:
Chronic diseases: Lung diseases (COPD, bronchiectasis, lung cancer), heart diseases, kidney diseases, liver diseases, diabetes, nervous system diseases (muscle diseases, strokes, dementia), swallowing difficulties (jaw, muscle, nerve diseases, tumors, esophageal diseases), immune system diseases (AIDS, blood and lymph gland cancers)
- Alcohol intake
- Previous long-term operations
- Flu Outbreaks
What are Ways to Prevent Pneumonia?
In order to prevent pneumonia, negative factors that facilitate the formation of pneumonia should be corrected. For this purpose, proper follow-up and treatment of chronic diseases, stress avoidance, balanced nutrition and hygienic shelter conditions should be ensured, alcohol, tobacco and drug dependence control should be reduced and the risk factors leading to aspiration of mouth and stomach contents into respiratory tracts should be reduced.
During influenza outbreaks that can lead to or facilitate pneumonia, reducing contact in the crowd, wearing masks and vaccination of people who can infect influenza into the high-risk group are important for protection.
The influenza virus itself can lead to pneumonia as well as to facilitate the emergence of pneumonia from other microorganisms. Flu cases are severe and fatal, mostly pneumonia is associated with the flu. Therefore, influenza outbreaks must be prevented in order to prevent pneumonia and related deaths.
Vaccines have been developed to prevent influenza. These vaccines provide protection for one year. Influenza vaccines should be administered intramuscularly every year in September, October or at the latest in November. Influenza vaccines should be administered to people at high risk of influenza or to those with severe influenza if the flu is severe.
In many cases, pneumonia can be treated at home. Severe cases, elderly patients, patients requiring oxygen therapy or intensive care support should be admitted to hospital. Treatment varies according to the patient. The results are promising when the treatment is started early and can be treated as an outpatient. However, the mortality rate is high in severe pneumonia cases with delayed diagnosis and treatment.
What is Tuberculosis?
Tuberculosis, or more commonly known as tuberculosis, is a disease that affects the lungs and renders them unable to function. It is a preventable and curable disease under the right conditions.
Its germ, after entering the body for a long time without the disease can stop. In this case, the body defends against the tuberculosis germ and imprisoned it. This condition is called tuberculosis infection. And it is only when the skin test is performed with the tuberculin test that the person facing such a condition is infected.
Tuberculosis is caused by a bacterium called “mycobacterium tuberculosis”. There are different varieties of this disease, and some may develop drug resistance. Tuberculosis bacteria are transported in airborne droplets. From the moment it enters the air, another human can breathe these bacteria. To answer the question of how tuberculosis is transmitted;
It can be infected with the road. People with strong immune systems may not have symptoms of the disease, even if they are carriers of bacteria. This is called a potential or inactive infection. According to the World Health Organization report, a quarter of the world population is a carrier of tuberculosis bacteria. Bacteria seen in inactive carriers are not contagious but can become active over time and make both the carrier and the surrounding people sick. Bacteria seen in inactive carriers are not contagious but can become active over time and make both the carrier and the surrounding people sick.
What are the Symptoms of Tuberculosis?
In a case called latent tuberculosis, bacterial carriers do not show signs of the disease. In these cases, the bacteria causing tuberculosis are dormant and it may take years for them to wake up and make them sick. Active tuberculosis is characterized by respiratory system disorders such as bloody cough and sputum. In the case of tuberculosis, the patient may experience painful coughing attacks that last three weeks and make it difficult to breathe normally. However;
- Fatigue without reason
- Night sweating
- Loss of appetite
- Symptoms such as weight loss may also indicate tuberculosis.
Although tuberculosis commonly affects the lungs, it can also affect other organs of the body, such as the kidneys, spine, bone marrow, and brain. Symptoms vary depending on the organ affected by the bacteria.
How is Tuberculosis Diagnosed?
The symptoms alone are not sufficient for the patient to be tested for tuberculosis because they can be seen in many diseases. Since different tests may be performed on the discretion of the doctor, the answer to the question of how to perform the tuberculosis test varies according to the type of test.
1.Tuberculin skin test
This test, which is generally used in Tuberculosis Dispensary, is the most common method used to determine whether a person has tuberculosis. In this test, the patient is injected with 0.1 millilitres of PPD just below the skin. The results will be announced in two to three days. If a 5-millimetre line is formed at the site of injection, the test result is considered positive. However, this test only detects whether the person is affected by the bacteria, but does not provide any results as to whether the bacteria are active or asleep.
If the desired result is not obtained from the skin test, a blood test is performed. This blood test is also preferred to detect other infections that are unlikely to occur in the skin test. The results of the blood test may be positive, negative or uncertain. However, it is not possible to determine whether the bacteria are active or not in the blood test as in the skin test.
If your skin and blood tests are positive, your doctor will ask you to have a chest X-ray. In this X-ray, small but prominent spots in the lungs are sought. These points are indicative of tuberculosis infection and indicate whether the immune system is able to isolate bacteria. If the result of your chest film is negative, it is concluded that you are latent tuberculosis. However, if the dots are not visible, the result of all your tests may be inaccurate and must be done all over again. Unlike other tests, the X-ray shows whether the bacteria are asleep or active.
Depending on the results of your other tests, your doctor may require a sputum or mucus test. These substances are taken from your lungs and used for the detection of tuberculosis bacteria. If the result of the sputum test is positive, active tuberculosis bacteria are mentioned and the patient is asked to wear a mask to prevent transmission. It is important both for the patient and his surroundings that the patient does not remove the mask until his results become negative. In order to detect tuberculosis,
- Computed tomography
- Lung biopsy methods can be applied.
How is Tuberculosis Treated?
As with other bacterial infectious diseases, a few weeks of antibiotic treatment is not sufficient in tuberculosis. Active tuberculosis patients have to take many different drugs for 6 to 9 months. Drug treatment and routine controls should not be interrupted until the test results return to negative, otherwise, the infection will relapse.
If the disease reoccurs even though treatment and controls are not interrupted, the bacteria may have acquired resistance to the drugs and need to be replaced. Since the TB germ is resistant to the active substance of many drugs, many different drugs should be taken together.
Patients receiving tuberculosis treatment should pay attention to the main symptoms of liver disease. These symptoms include:
- Darkness in urine
- Fever lasting more than three days
- Nausea and vomiting for no reason
- Jaundice or yellowing of the skin
- They manifest themselves in the form of abdominal pain.
If you are receiving tuberculosis treatment and one or more of these symptoms occur, you should see your doctor immediately. In order to prevent these symptoms, you should also check your liver for proper functioning with a regular blood test.
In addition to drug treatment, nutrition is very important in the treatment of tuberculosis. By maintaining a healthy diet for the patient, it is important for him to maintain his ideal weight, or if he is overweight, to maintain body resistance. In addition, reducing the consumption of refined flour and sugar, avoiding alcohol and taking foods rich in minerals makes it easier to get over the disease.
What is Pulmonary Hypertension?
It is located on the right side of the heart and is poor to the lung; that is, the pulmonary artery that is responsible for delivering contaminated blood to oxygenate it is called the pulmonary artery. Pulmonary hypertension, on the other hand, refers to the continuous high blood pressure associated with the lung. Pulmonary hypertension, defined as high blood pressure in the pulmonary artery, was described in 1891 by Dr Ernst von Romberg. Pulmonary hypertension, which is in the class of serious and dangerous diseases, must be kept under the supervision of a doctor and treatment should be started as soon as possible.
Pulmonary hypertension, which directly affects the heart, can lead to heart failure in later stages if precautions are not taken.
What is the Occurrence of Pulmonary Hypertension?
The so-called pulmonary artery is the pulmonary artery responsible for delivering contaminated blood from the right ventricle of the heart to the lungs. Clogging or narrowing of the thin branches and capillaries of the pulmonary artery results in significant resistance to blood flow.
As a result of this resistance, the right ventricular, which pumps blood more intensely, is constantly exposed to high resistance and expands over time, causing heart failure. Although the cause of pulmonary hypertension is not yet known, it may occur as a result of damage to the cell structure in the pulmonary arteries or loss of some important functions.
What Causes Pulmonary Hypertension?
The cause of pulmonary hypertension is not yet known. However, in the disease, which is thought to play an effective role, various factors, from the drugs used to the various lung diseases, trigger the disease. Pulmonary hypertension, which is thought to be effective in genetic factors, plays a role in many factors ranging from dietary drugs to heart failure.
To list the diseases that cause pulmonary hypertension;
- Aortic and mitral valve diseases
- Heart failure
- Congenital heart diseases
- Chronic liver disease
- COPD and lung diseases
- Lung tumour
- Pulmonary fibrosis
- Rheumatic diseases
- Scleroderma and SLE (lupus)
Symptoms of Pulmonary Hypertension
Symptoms may vary from patient to patient, and generally, no symptoms are observed in the early stages of the disease. Shortness of breath is the main symptom of pulmonary hypertension. Shortness of breath In the early stages of the disease, shortness of breath after exerting efforts such as climbing stairs and exercise is also observed later on at rest.
Let us briefly list the symptoms of pulmonary hypertension;
- Feeling powerless
- Shortness of breath
- Chest Pain
- Squeezing in the chest
- Skin and lips turn bluish
- Oedema of the ankles
- Liver growth
- Abdominal swelling
Diagnosis of Pulmonary Hypertension
Pulmonary hypertension, which is usually diagnosed in the late stages of the disease, shows the same symptoms as many diseases. Therefore, it is one of the most difficult diseases to diagnose. As in all diseases, early diagnosis is very important in pulmonary hypertension. Because pulmonary hypertension shows the same symptoms as many diseases, a very detailed examination is required. As a result of the detailed investigations and examinations, the correct diagnosis should be made and treatment should be started as soon as possible.
Examinations for Diagnosis of Pulmonary Hypertension
- Blood analysis
- Transesophageal echocardiography
- Lung tomography
- Pulmonary function test
- Lung ventilation-perfusion scintigraphy
- 6-minute walk test
- Heart Catheter
- Pulmonary arteriography
Pulmonary Hypertension Treatment
There is no definitive treatment for pulmonary hypertension. However, with the treatments applied, it is aimed to minimize the complaints of the patient and to prevent the progression of the disease. In the case of a disease that is effective in the development of pulmonary hypertension, treatment of this disease is carried out first.
It is very important that the patient protects himself against respiratory infection. Therefore, it is recommended that patients with pulmonary hypertension stay away from people suffering from respiratory tract infection. Drugs used in the treatment process are aimed at preventing problems such as blood clotting and heart contractions. However, if the patient does not respond to all these medications and his condition worsens, heart or lung transplantation is the last resort.
What is it?
Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a genetic disease that is caused by the transmission of defective genes from the mother and father to the child. It is not contamination or subsequent illness.
Since the symptoms are similar to the common disorders in childhood, the patient may be delayed in diagnosis. If the course of the disease is not done well, mild symptoms may be replaced by organ involvement and may even result in death. Although lung involvement is an important factor determining the prognosis of the disease, malabsorption due to pancreatic involvement is also one of the factors affecting survival.
What Causes Cystic Fibrosis?
It is a genetic disease. In other words, the most common cause of the disease is the mutation of the gene from both parents.
- Although it varies according to the affected organ, it may present with many findings.
- In early infancy, recurrent and treatment-resistant lower respiratory tract infections, cough, wheezing may occur.
- Patients may have difficulty in gaining weight, oily, smelly and frequent defecation, growth and developmental retardation.
- When they are kissed by their mother, it may be felt that they have excessive salty sweat.
- They may apply with loss of liquid and salt, weakness, loss of appetite and exhaustion, especially in hot weather.
- In older children, symptoms may include excessive sputum production, frequent lung infection, enlargement of the fingertips (clubbing), nasal polyps, recurrent attacks of sinusitis.
- Rarely, it may present with findings such as diabetes.
- Adulthood, delayed puberty, pancreatitis attacks, hepatic and pancreatic insufficiency can be seen in adulthood.
How is Cystic Fibrosis Diagnosed?
Complaints such as symptoms of cystic fibrosis can also be varied. Anaemia, elevation in liver function tests, impaired chlorine values and changes in blood gas, pulmonary as well as chest film findings are among the methods used for diagnosis of cystic fibrosis. The exact diagnosis is made by the presence of chlorine elevation in the sweat test. Values taken as a result of this test of 60 and above mean cystic fibrosis. At the same time, the cystic fibrosis gene mutation analysis structures can be determined by the type of mutation in which the disease occurs.
How is Cystic Fibrosis Treated?
Cystic fibrosis is treated with a combination of medication, physical therapy and exercise.
Drug: There are three main drugs used in the treatment of Cystic Fibrosis.
Bronchodilator drugs that keep the airway open, antibiotics fighting infections, steroids to alleviate inflammation. To help digestion, patients with Cystic Fibrosis need to take pancreatic enzymes with each meal.
Physiotherapy: Daily physical therapy is inevitable for clearing the mucus layer in the airways and minimizing infection. This physiotherapy can be administered by the parent or caregiver at home. When children are old enough, they can apply the necessary daily therapies themselves. Exercise Daily exercises are an important part of the treatment and management of Cystic Fibrosis.
Bronchopulmonary Dysplasia (BPD)
In premature babies, babies have problems in breathing due to lungs that have not completed their development. Most of these babies breathe in the first days with the help of breathing apparatus (ventilator), they may need to take oxygen therapy for a long time. Injuries and inflammation of premature lung tissue and airways that may not develop during these treatments may develop.
A premature baby is diagnosed with bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) or chronic lung disease if it requires oxygen therapy when it is 28 days old. These babies need additional oxygen and sometimes breathing aid.
Infants with bronchopulmonary dysplasia are struggling to breathe and show signs of distress along with other respiratory problems. These signs;
Fast, superficial breathing, Pulls in ribs and chest wall, Cough, Movement of chest wall and abdomen in opposite directions at each breathing, Wheezing (a whistling sound when baby breathing), Stance on the neck, shoulders and upper body, Repetitive bruising periods Apnea respiratory arrest)
Diagnosis is often made when a premature baby with respiratory problems requires additional oxygen supply for more than 28 days. It can only be said that a baby is BPD after weeks of birth. Infants with BPD often have spongy images filled with blisters on lung films.
There is no special treatment and usually, supportive treatment is given. Supportive treatment includes providing the baby with adequate oxygen, regular feeding, keeping warm, protecting or treating infections, and administering appropriate amounts of fluid and nutrients. This saves time for the baby to develop into the lungs. Babies with BPD usually receive treatment in neonatal intensive care units.
The most important treatment of BPD is to prevent the formation. Prevention efforts can be listed as follows:
Prevention of preterm labour: Regular prenatal care will reduce the number of preterm babies in women at high risk of preterm labour. Steroid treatment will help maternal lungs to mature.
External surfactant administration: Surfactant is a fluid that normally covers the inner surface of healthy, developed lungs. The surfactant allows easy opening of the lungs and prevents them from completely closing. A lung that breathes normally gets more oxygen.
What is Pulmonary Embolism?
Pulmonary embolism is a health problem caused by a blocked blood vessel in the lungs. In the medical literature, the condition called pulmonary embolism can cause life-threatening consequences if not treated quickly. This blockage of the pulmonary arteries can damage the lungs and other organs that cannot get enough oxygen. It is a serious condition and may take weeks or months of recovery.
Causes Pulmonary Embolism?
Pulmonary embolism occurs when a material with a blood clot often reaches an artery in the lungs causing obstruction. These blood clots most often come from deep veins in the legs. This condition is known as deep vein thrombosis (DVT). Occasionally, blockages in the blood vessels can be caused by substances other than blood clots. Some of these materials;
- Fat, collagen or other tissue from a broken, long bone marrow
- Part of a tumour
- Can be sorted in the form of air bubbles.
What are The Risk Factors for Pulmonary Embolism?
Although everyone may have a blood clot resulting in pulmonary embolism, some factors cause an increased risk. Risk factors for pulmonary embolism are described in detail below.
Patient’s Medical History
History of a venous blood clot or lung embolism in the past poses a high risk for a new embolism. In addition, certain medical conditions and treatments seen in the patient cause an increased risk of embolism. Some of these factors are;
- Cardiovascular diseases. Cardiovascular diseases
- Pancreatic, ovarian and lung cancers and many types of cancer spread to distant parts of the body increase the levels of certain substances involved in blood clotting, increasing the risk of lung embolism.
- Surgical procedures are one of the leading causes of blood clotting. Before and after major surgical procedures, the patient may be given anticoagulant medications.
Blood clots are more likely to occur during periods of prolonged immobility, such as:
- Rest cure. Postoperative, long-term bed rest due to heart attack, leg fracture, trauma or any serious illness makes the person more vulnerable to blood clot formation.
- Long journeys. Sitting in a cramped position during prolonged aeroplane or car travel slows blood flow in the legs and examines clot formation.
Other Risk Factors
- Being overweight. Obesity,
- Get estrogen support.
- The baby’s compression of the vessels around the uterus can slow the return of blood from the legs.
What are the Symptoms of Lung Embolism?
Symptoms of pulmonary embolism; the extent to which the lungs are affected, the size of the clots, and the presence of underlying lung or heart disease.
- Shortness of breath. Characteristically, it appears suddenly and tends to deteriorate with effort.
- Chest pain. It may increase when deep breathing, coughing, eating, bending or resting.
- Bloody and sputum cough can be seen.
- Pain in the back
- Excessive sweating
- Blue lips and nails
Other symptoms that may occur with pulmonary embolism may include;
- Leg pain or swelling that usually occurs in the calf
- Moist and pale skin (cyanosis)
- Increase in body temperature
- Excessive sweating
- Fast or irregular heartbeat
- Feeling dizziness or evil
In addition to the symptoms listed, pain, redness and swelling may occur on one of your legs (usually the calf).
How is Lung Embolism Treatment?
If lung embolism is suspected to be an emergency, the patient is given an anticoagulant injection before the desired test results are obtained for a definitive diagnosis. These drugs, called anticoagulants, prevent the growth of existing blood clots and the formation of new clots. If the tests confirm the presence of pulmonary embolism, anticoagulant drug injections are continued for at least 5 days. In addition, oral anticoagulant tablets are given for the following 3 months. Full recovery is expected with early diagnosis and treatment. Rarely, surgery may be needed to remove the clot from the lung.
How Long Does Lung Embolism Treatments Last?
In pulmonary embolism due to deep vein thrombosis, treatment with blood thinners is continued for 3 to 6 months. Patients with prior blood clots should use medication for longer periods of time. If there are risk factors such as cancer treatment, treatment is continued as long as the risk factors continue.
What is Lung Cancer?
Lung cancer, where smoking is one of the main factors, ranks first in cancer-related deaths. However, when caught at an early stage, the chance of treating the disease increases.
Lung cancer begins when cells from structurally normal lung tissue proliferate beyond the need and control to form a mass (tumour) within the lung. The mass formed here grows primarily in its environment, and in later stages, it spreads to the surrounding tissues or to the distant organs (liver, bone, brain, etc.) through circulation and causes damage.
- Increasing Cough
Cough, which is among the first symptoms of lung cancer, is often underestimated due to other reasons. However, persistent cough, which lasts more than two weeks, is increasing and the cause of which cannot be determined is the main indicator of lung cancer. However, the presence of sputum blood or the colour of sputum is dark brown is also known as important symptoms of lung cancer.
- Chest Pain
Again, chest pain, which can be caused by many reasons, is actually one of the main symptoms of lung cancer. Chest pain deep breathing, coughing or laughing increases if you need to consult a doctor immediately.
Shortness of breath
Respiratory symptoms such as shortness of breath and wheezing may occur in all stages of lung cancer. Shortness of breath, which is an important indicator of insidious lung cancer, is ignored properly.
- Anorexia and Weight Loss
Especially active smokers should consult a physician if they have anorexia. Unidentified cause of weight loss is among the important symptoms of lung cancer, should not be neglected.
Hoarseness and Swallowing Difficulty
One of the symptoms of lung cancer, hoarseness and difficulty swallowing can be caused by many reasons just like other symptoms.
Rapid fatigue, constant fatigue and weakness in lung cancer are also common symptoms that should not be missed.
Pinning of Fingers
The slow and painless development of clubbing caused by swelling and rounding of the soft tissue at the tips of the fingers and toes shows that it is due to non-lung cancer reasons. However, the rapid and painful occurrence is among the symptoms of lung cancer.
In our country, especially complaints of back and shoulder pain are common, while desk employees can often consider this as a problem caused by poor posture and long hours working at a computer. However, in the case of lung cancer spread back pain, shoulder pain, shoulder blade pain, arm, leg pain, or severe headache if it has spread to the brain manifests itself as important symptoms. The growth in the glands on the neck and on the collarbone indicates lung cancer in particular.
- Frequent Recurrent Infection
Frequent recurrence and non-healing of respiratory infections such as bronchitis and pneumonia are among the symptoms of lung cancer.
The fall of the eyelid and the reduction of the pupil and sweating on the same side of the face can also indicate lung cancer. This is called Horner syndrome in medicine.
Many methods are used for diagnosis. Since this cancer rarely presents symptoms before spreading to nearby lymph nodes or other organs, only 15 per cent of patients can be diagnosed early. Early diagnosis, often incidentally, occurs during examinations of another disease.
Today, some methods used in the diagnosis of lung cancer are as follows:
- Radiological examinations (Chest X-ray, Computed Tomography, Magnetic Resonance Imaging, PET / CT) in addition to sputum sample examination,
- Endoscopic evaluation of bronchi (bronchoscopy),
- Bronchoscopic or chest wall biopsy,
- Mediastinoscopy and video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery for the evaluation of mediastinal lymph nodes.
The most important factors in determining the treatment of lung cancer type and stage of cancer. Inappropriate patients, lung or lung section with cancer can be removed by surgical methods. Chemotherapy can be applied to patients who are considered unsuitable for surgery.
In addition, new treatments such as smart drugs and immunotherapy can also be used if cancer cells have specific properties.
Prevention of Lung Cancer
- Avoiding cancer-causing substances such as smoking and alcohol,
- Think positive and avoid stress,
- Avoiding radiation,
- Tar, gasoline, dyes, asbestos and so on. to ensure that substances are not inhaled,
- Avoiding air pollution,
- Maintain healthy eating scheme.
Lung Hardening (Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF))
What is Lung Hardening?
The disease, abbreviated as IPF, causes the lung structure to become stiff and causes problems in breathing. The disease progresses very quickly in some patients and progresses slowly in some patients. The most important condition of the disease is that it may cause respiratory failure.
What are the Findings of Lung Hardening?
The first stage findings of Lung Stiffness are listed below.
- Stubborn cough without sputum,
- Shortness of breath even during daily activities,
- However, as the disease reaches advanced levels, the symptoms become more prominent.
The symptoms observed in this case are as follows.
- Difficulty breathing even when resting,
- The existing dry cough becomes more severe and turns into cough crises,
- Fatigue and strain even in easily performed activities,
- Clubbing or clubbing
- Fainting and drowsiness due to a decrease in oxygen saturation present in the blood.
These symptoms are observed in advanced levels of IPF. It must be treated.
How is the diagnosis diagnosed?
The definitive diagnosis of the disease is made by a surgical sampling of lung tissue. However, in cases where there is a typical image for IPF on lung tomography and there is no other disease to cause, it can be diagnosed without surgery. The severity of the disease is assessed by the appearance on lung tomography, pulmonary function tests and exercise tests. During the course of the disease, complaints increase and lung capacity and functions decrease.
How is it treated?
For many years, the search for an effective treatment for IPF has been continuing. Although various drugs have been tried as a result of the studies, there is no method to stop or treat the progression of the disease. The only definitive treatment is lung transplantation. Since there is no effective treatment, it is recommended that the patient be evaluated for lung transplantation as soon as the disease is diagnosed.
However, there have been promising developments in recent years. It has been observed that the progression of the disease can be reduced with new drugs which are being used in patients with IPF. However, it is seen that this effect can be achieved if treatment is started in the early stages of the disease.
COPD (Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease)
What is COPD?
COPD, which is named with the initials of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease, is the result of obstruction of air sacs in the lungs called bronchus; It is a chronic disease that causes complaints such as dyspnea, cough and shortness of breath.
With breathing, the fresh air that is filled into the lungs is absorbed by the bronchi and the oxygen in the fresh air is delivered to the tissues with blood. When COPD occurs, the bronchi are blocked and cause a significant decrease in lung capacity. In this case, the fresh air taken from the lungs cannot be absorbed sufficiently, so that adequate oxygen delivery to the blood and tissues cannot be achieved.
How is COPD Diagnosed?
If the person smokes, the presence of long-term dyspnea, cough and sputum complaints is considered sufficient for the diagnosis of COPD, but a respiratory test should be performed for a definitive diagnosis. The respiratory assessment test, which is performed in a few minutes, is performed by deep breathing and blowing into the person’s breathing apparatus. This test, which provides easy information about lung capacity and the stage of the disease, if any, should be done at least once a year, especially for people over 40 years of age.
What Are the Symptoms of COPD?
“What is COPD?” Another point that is as important as the answer to the question of COPD symptoms and symptoms are considered to be followed correctly. As lung capacity decreases to a great extent due to the disease, sufficient oxygen delivery to the tissues cannot be achieved, and symptoms such as cough and sputum are observed, especially shortness of breath.
The problem of shortness of breath as a result of activities such as rapid walking, climbing stairs or running during the initial stage becomes a problem that can be observed even during sleep in the later stages of the disease.
Although cough and sputum problems are seen only in the early stages of the morning, symptoms of COPD such as severe cough and intense sputum are observed with the progression of the disease.
What Causes COPD?
It is known that the biggest risk factor for the occurrence of COPD is the consumption of cigarettes and similar tobacco products and the incidence of the disease is increased in people exposed to the smoke. Research conducted by the World Health Organization, COPD disease in the emergence of polluted weather conditions have shown to be largely effective.
At workplaces; It is observed that air pollution caused by dust, smoke and chemicals and organic fuels such as wood and dung used in domestic environments cause blockages in the bronchi and lung capacity is greatly reduced.
What are the stages of COPD?
According to the severity of the symptoms, the disease is named in four different stages: mild, moderate, severe and very severe COPD.
Mild COPD: Symptoms of shortness of breath, which may occur during intense work or during activities that require effort, such as climbing stairs or carrying loads. This stage is also known as the initial stage of the disease.
Moderate COPD: A stage of COPD that does not interrupt night’s sleep but causes shortness of breath during simple daily tasks.
Severe COPD: It is the stage of the disease in which the complaint of shortness of breath interrupts even the night’s sleep, and the weakness problem due to respiratory distress prevents daily work.
Very Severe COPD: In this stage, breathing becomes extremely difficult, the person has difficulty walking even in the home and the tissues do not transmit enough oxygen to various organs due to discomfort. Due to progressive lung disease, heart failure may develop and the patient cannot survive without oxygen supplementation.
What are COPD Treatment Methods?
Treatment of COPD usually involves attempts to reduce the severity of symptoms and disorders, not to eliminate the disease. The first step for treatment at this point should be to quit smoking, if used, and to move away from air pollution environments. With the cessation of smoking, the severity of congestion in the bronchi is alleviated to some extent and the person’s complaints of shortness of breath are greatly reduced.

You Really, Really Like Me!
Horton Foote, the author of Tender Mercies and The Trip to Bountiful, says he's in love with it, and it's also the town where Sally Field starred in Places in the Heart, for which she won her "You really, really like me" Oscar. It's Waxahachie, also known as another one of Texas's own Hollywoods. Waxahachie may have come by its film fame partly because multiple Academy Award-nominee Robert Benton (screenplay, Bonnie and Clyde; director, Places in the Heart) is a local boy, but however it happened, the old town—which boast plenty of well-preserved historic buildings—has been featured in dozens of films and TV shows. First stop for set-jetters should be the Ellis County Museum, which gives away a free movie map to local film sites. In 2014, Waxahachie mounted its first film festival, with plans underway for future events.

One of the most common questions I’ve received from models lately is how to handle the situation when the photographer doesn’t return images from a shoot. Instead of focusing solely on the model side, however, I want to also cover what I hope will be some helpful tips for photographers who might find themselves in a situation where they aren’t able to deliver photos (immediately or otherwise).
Note: Most of this article assumes we are talking about trade/TF shoots, as that is the primary case where models would be expecting photos. If the model was a client, it becomes a business situation and you may have a contract in place that alters things somewhat.
Let’s start with prevention because I think that can help everyone. Whether you are a model or a photographer, make sure you open up a conversation about the resulting photos from the shoot at some point before the shoot ends, preferably during pre-shoot conversations. It’s usually a good idea to figure out about how many photos the model will be receiving, whether the model or photographer will choose the photos to be edited, and how long it should take to get photos to the model. A lot of photographers tend to cover this, but if you are a model and the photographer hasn’t brought it up, take the initiative and ask. Having this information will give you both (or all) and idea of the expectations for everyone. I think it’s also helpful to ask about this when you check references with other models who have worked with the photographer as well.
Now we’ll jump one step ahead to the situation you might be in now as a model if you didn’t do that preventative step: you’ve been waiting on photos for a while and you’re wondering what to do. First, let’s keep in mind a few things:
- Photographers all have a different editing workflow. Some are very quick and/or minimal with editing, some take longer and are more thorough. Certain styles take longer to edit as well.
- Just like models sometimes have things come up, photographers do too. Life happens to all of us and sometimes things take longer than we expected.
- Sometimes the photos just didn’t turn out. They might be too blurry, too dark, too blown out, etc and the photographer can’t really salvage them. Just as you probably don’t want them posting a photo of you that is really unflattering, they probably don’t want photos that didn’t turn out posted either. (More on this further down).
- Don’t jump into contact aggressively or with an accusatory tone. This will put almost anyone on the defensive and it only hurts you.
- Please, please don’t “out” the photographer on social media (so don’t post their name saying you haven’t gotten photos). Again, this puts people on the defensive.
If it’s only been a week or so (and you didn’t discuss a time frame), just send a friendly message asking if they’ve had a chance to look over the photos and let them know you’re excited to see them. If it’s been longer than that, you can try something similar but mention the time frame as well: “Hi Photographer Name, we shot about 3 weeks ago and I’m so excited to see the photos. Do you have an idea of when you might have a finished photo or two for me?”
Let’s shift gears for a moment and look at the photographer side of things. Photographers, this responsibility really falls on you to a large degree and it’s a good idea to set some guidelines for yourself so you can avoid issues. Here are some suggestions:
- Outline your policy for photo delivery before the shoot. Let the model know about how many photos to expect, how much editing you do, about how long you expect it to take you to edit, and who will be choosing the photos to edit. Let them model know how photos will be delivered as well (Dropbox, email, etc)
- Always give yourself a bit of wiggle room, so to speak. If it normally takes you 3 to 5 days to edit, say a week, for example. If you normally give 3 to 5 photos per look, say 3 and if it’s more, the model isn’t likely to complain.
- If you’re trying something new or experimental for you, let the model know. Be up front if you think the photos might not turn out (and please do this before the actual shoot). Some models are cool with experimental stuff, but it’s nice to know when that is the case. You might also want to do this alongside another more proven concept if you can so the model gets at least some photos.
Now, let me give you a few of my suggestions on what to do if you are behind.
- If you’ve got a long editing queue it might be time to take a break from shooting and focus on editing.
- If you’re behind, consider at least editing a photo or two for each model. Apologize and let them know you will get them more as soon as you can.
- Let the models know. Most of us are very understanding if something came up, especially if it’s an emergency.
You’ve probably noticed that this article is primarily about prevention. That is because this is one issue that is really best handled before it happens by both models and photographers. It can become a source of heavy tension if it gets to far away.
Models, in the event that a photographer stops responding my best advice for you is this: put them on a list not to work with again and drop it. Harassing them or outing them isn’t going to get you any where at all and, if anything, all it will do is make you look like drama (even if you are right in what you are saying) and cause the photographer to likely never contact you again. If you shot the photos at a group shoot, you may be able to contact the shoot organizers if they have a policy about photo delivery (we do have that at the SMP shoots in Detroit, for example), but if you shot outside of an event, it may be time to chalk it up as a loss and try to re-shoot with someone else if you can. I know this won’t be what you want to hear, and I’ve been there before, but it may be the best option.

In what fucking world does this make sense!?
Oh yeah … California! The “Fuck-the-Working Man” state.
Governor Newsom … in all his “wisdom” … has passed a budget that will allocate $98 million in funding for undocumented young adults under the age of 26 to enroll in Medi-Cal. Hey! Governor Newsom, take a look around! Why don’t you take that $98,000,000 that you are going to spend on healthcare for people who are here ILLEGALLY and put it towards the crippling homeless problem that you are so conveniently blind to. Just look out your fucking window at City Hall and you can see what I’m talking about!
In all my years paying for healthcare, I have NEVER had the rates go down. Have you!? The bullshit logic Sacramento is peddling is that instead of illegals going into the emergency rooms when they are sick … with health care, they will be going to a primary care physician which will cost the state less. HUH!? How are multiple, regular office visits going to be cheaper than one time in the emergency room?
I’ll be honest, I don’t want to take the time to research the numbers and create a pie chart to prove this wrong. Honestly, maybe the numbers do work … but that is beside the point! It’s a matter of principle! These people broke the law and now we are going to reward them with free healthcare? Get the fuck outta here! With that kind of logic, we should let Bernie Madoff out of jail!
They broke the law! We are not supposed to reward them for that! They should be scared to get medical help … because they are here ILLEGALLY! If we make it okay for people living here illegally to get insurance and live their lives with no fear of being prosecuted for breaking the law … we might as well open the borders and put out the welcome mat …
… because now there is no reason for them not to come here. They figure all they have to do is get here … and everything is free!
Paulette Cha, a health policy expert for the Public Policy Institute of California, said it is unlikely that the expansion will attract more undocumented individuals to California who are specifically seeking out health care.
BULLSHIT! That’s exactly what it’s going to do! Hey Paulette, maybe you can pull your head out of Newsom’s ass and breath some fresh air in the hopes it will bring your common sense back.
Here is her bio in case you want to put a face to this absurd statement …
“If you believe in universal health care, you believe in universal health care” – Gavin Newsom
Hey Governor Sellout … I fork out $1000/month for my family to have health care. In the budget you passed, I’m STILL paying … but the person here ILLEGALLY is getting health care for free. That doesn’t sound like universal health care to me! It sounds like I’m getting fucked while someone who shouldn’t be here has won the lottery. If you want to try universal health care … maybe start by giving it to the citizen’s FIRST …
… and then if there is anything left over, then you can try to sell the idea of covering the illegals.
Did you think I wouldn’t get pissed!? Oh! … you did figure I’d get pissed … that’s why you threw in a teeny-tiny subsidy for everyone paying the bill to try to make them feel like you aren’t bending them over a barrel and dry fucking them … which you are! Maybe the majority of people in this state don’t understand how shit works but I paid attention in civics class (when they used to teach it) and can actually do math … and it doesn’t add up! So, let me get this straight. I’m going to pay for someone else to have free health care while I pay and then the discount you are going to give everyone, I’m going to pay for ALSO! How does math work on your planet!?
Who’s going to pay for it!?
I doubt it! Most of them have already left for other states to get away from the toxic business environment you’ve helped create.
Unlikely! They can afford a great lawyer to help take advantage of all the tax loopholes so they don’t pay shit!
So I guess the shrinking middle class is on the hook … again! There is a limit to how much we can pay before we fall into the poor category, idiot. What then!? You certainly aren’t going to get any Federal help.
How about you focus on helping ME out … your constituent … and sideline your little anti-Trump bullshit! I DON’T need you to lead the fight against him … I need you to make California a place I can afford to live. I need you to take care of the homeless problem so I don’t step in human shit while I’m walking on the sidewalk. I need you to keep violent criminals off the street so my kids can play outside. I need you to fix the roads with that gas tax everyone I know voted against and I need you to rein in health care costs … for ME! … not for people who are here illegally.
To quote you Governor Newsom:
“California is infamous for passing things and then waking up and saying, ‘What the hell did we just pass?'”
… consider what you just passed one of them.

Salesforce.com aims to establish its image as a full-blown CRM (customer relationship management) development platform built for the world of social media and mobile devices with the launch of Salesforce1, which will be unveiled this week at the Dreamforce conference in San Francisco.
While Salesforce.com has long offered the Force.com development platform to customers and partners, Salesforce1 is more than just a rebranding of the same technology, according to the company.
For one thing, it offers 10 times as many APIs (application programming interfaces), as well as new components for building user interfaces, said Michael Peachey, senior director of solutions marketing, in an interview.
Salesforce1 also features a new mobile application that provides customers a unified way to use Salesforce.com's applications, those they custom-built, and those they purchased from partners through the Salesforce.com AppExchange, Peachey said.
In addition, Salesforce1 includes a new mobile application for administrators that allows them to take actions such as remotely resetting passwords, deactivating users and receiving information about scheduled maintenance from Salesforce.com.
Much has been made of the "Internet of things," but that phrase misses the point, Peachey said. "Every company needs to create their own Internet of customers."
All Salesforce.com customers will be automatically upgraded to the new platform, which Salesforce.com CEO Marc Benioff is expected to discuss during his keynote address at Dreamforce on Tuesday. The early announcement of Salesforce1 may be tied to the fact that Salesforce.com is announcing its third-quarter earnings after the market's close on Monday.
The Salesforce1 launch comes as the world enters the age of "digital business," said analyst Ray Wang of Constellation Research via email. There's a range of different types of customers for companies to target, from "digital natives" who grew up with the Internet to "digital holdouts" who have resisted the shift, Wang said.
Companies must recognize "that they no longer sell products and services, as buyers seek experiences and outcomes," Wang added. That means delivering the right information to customers at the right time, rather than "real-time information overload," he said.
Salesforce.com's customers may be ready to embrace Salesforce1's new features. Two-thirds of respondents to a new survey conducted by consulting firm Bluewolf in collaboration with the MIT Sloan School of Management said they planned to increase their investments in Salesforce.com-related products.

A few years ago I ran away from my job.
At least, that’s what I called it at the time, that is how I framed it in my head. I couldn’t hack it, I was a failure as a vet. My mind was wrecked, my physical health was wrecked, and my stomach curled up into knots every time I pulled into the parking lot. It wasn’t only me who suffered; I knew my heart was not where it needed to be for my patients. They deserved for me to want to be there. It was a bad place to be in.
With the gift of perspective, I know now I was dealing with some pretty significant burnout. I didn’t know that was what it was at the time; after all, don’t you have to be in it at least a couple of decades for that to kick in? Or be a practice owner? This is how it works, I was told. No one really talked about it, or it was code for ‘bad vet’, not for a defined type of stress reaction. Old Doc Johnson who treats everything with pen G and steroids needs to get put out to pasture, he’s old and burned out.
No matter the reason, I knew I needed to leave and take a breather. I am very fortunate that my husband was supportive of the decision, even without knowing how it would play out, or when I would be back. Although I saw it as a failure on my part at the time it was the best thing that could have happened to me.
I have learned to let go of a lot of destructive ideas in the past few years:
- that taking care of yourself is an indulgence;
- that saying ‘no, I can’t’ means you are a slacker;
- that being a veterinarian means you put your work above all other things.
I had to practice those sentences a couple years before I really truly believed them, but I do now. I listened to a wonderful VetGirl webinar today on the topic of veterinarians, depression and suicide and was kind of taken by surprise when our wonderful presenter said, “self care is an ethical obligation- to yourself and to your clients.” She’s right.
If you recall, one week ago today this happened in my neck of the woods:
A few days after the smoke had cleared, I had a girls’ weekend getaway that we had been planning for almost half a year. Girls weekends aren’t really something I’ve done much of- too busy, other priorities- but we randomly decided at a Christmas party that we should plan one. I didn’t know how much I would be needing it at the time, but man, I’m so glad it happened the way it did.
I flew far, far away from my blackened streets and up to the land of one of the world’s finest philosophers: Santa Rosa, home of Charles Schulz.
We ate, all weekend. Really, really good food.
We tasted some wine. Really, really good wine. Our personal favorite was a wine by Ehlers Estate, which was founded by a man with a deep philanthropic interest and is now owned by a trust that funnels all its profits into cardiovascular research. (I tell you this not to try and sell their wine, though if you ever get a chance you should absolutely try it, but because it ties into the rest of this story.)
The wine we sampled is called “One Twenty Over Eighty,” in honor of an ideal blood pressure. We liked it, so we bought a bottle to share that evening.
We all came on this journey with our own piles of stresses and stuff going on, and one of those things involved a friend taking a spot check blood pressure monitor, just to kind of keep an eye on things.
“I feel really relaxed,” she said later in the afternoon. “I’m going to check my blood pressure, just to see how it went today.”
She took it, looked at the numbers, shook her arm a little, and held up the monitor.
“One Twenty…Over Eighty.” OK, maybe closer to 125/82, but nonetheless, it was pretty darn good. Magic, almost.
On the last morning before we left, we bumped into Kenny G in a bistro. All I have for proof is a surreptitiously snapped picture of the back of his gloriously curled head, but it was confirmed that yes, we lunched with the G himself. Seriously, if ever you were waiting for a sign from the universe that you needed to kind of chill out for a few, there are few signs more blatant than running into the king of smooth jazz. This may top the time I ran into Weird Al at Disneyland (story for another time).
Good friends, laughter that makes you snort in the most unfeminine of ways, and maybe a sip of an exceptional wine if that’s your thing. It may not replace all the medicines in life you might need, but a little self care now and then does wonders, it really does.
Here’s to your One Twenty Over Eighty, whatever that might be. Cheers.

Accelerated Second Degree (ASD) Nursing Program
About the Program
The Accelerated Second Degree (ASD) program is designed for students with a previous bachelor's degree who do not yet have a Registered Nurse (RN) license. The ASD program is a concentrated sixteen-month program of study that will prepare you to meet the healthcare needs of a diverse society.
NEW PROGRAM: For those applying for fall 2016 admission (apply between Dec. 1, 2015 and Jan. 15, 2016), we will be introducing a new program that allows students to complete the ASD program and have early assurance admission to the Accelerated MSN (Family Nurse Practitioner) program. Please see the Program tab below for further information.
Students interested in applying to the Accelerated Second Degree program are encouraged to attend an information session to get the latest details regarding the application process prior to applying. The information meeting schedule is available for download below.
Students who wish to join the ASD BSN program must first apply to the University of Michigan-Flint for admission as a transfer student. While completing prerequisite requirements, you will enroll in the University of Michigan-Flint School of Health Professions and Studies as a pre-nursing student. The University of Michigan-Flint has a revolving admission policy, and you may be admitted to the university to begin prerequisite work in fall, winter, spring, or summer. Students then apply to the nursing program in late fall for admission the following fall.
Admission to the ASD Program is selective and competitive. Up to 40 students are admitted once per year, and cohorts begin in the fall semester only.
|In order to be considered for admission, you must have met the following requirements:|
|Applied to the University of Michigan-Flint and have a complete application (including official transcripts) on file in the Undergraduate Admissions Office|

All remaining preprequisite courses must be completed prior to the fall start of the program. For those applying by the January 15, 2015 deadline for fall 2016 admission, the Department of Nursing is allowing only THREE PREREQUISITE COURSES (2 must be science courses) to be completed in order to apply. This is only for those applying for fall 2016 admission.|
|A minimum of a 2.3 (C+) in each prerequisite course and a minimum overall GPA of 3.0 of completed prerequisite courses by application. Only the prerequisite courses listed below will be calculated in prerequisite GPA.|
|A minimum GPA of 3.0 of the most recent 30 credits completed.|
|A minimum of two references (one professional and one academic). A maximum of three references is allowed, but two are required.|
|A one-page essay. The question is available in the application and changes from year to year.|
|Science Prerequisite Courses:|
|BIO 167: Human Anatomy and Physiology I (4 credits) *|
|BIO 168: Human Anatomy and Physiology II (4 credits) *|
|BIO 135: Microbiology Basics (with lab) (4 credits) *|
|CHM 252: Biological Chemistry for Health Sciences (3 credits)|
|NSC 207: Pathophysiology (3 credits)|
|* Must be completed within seven years of application. In lieu of retaking the course, a National League of Nursing (NLN) competency exam is available through the Department of Nursing. The cost is $80 per exam.|
|Non-Science Prerequisite Courses:|

|NUR 120: Basic Nursing Concepts and Skills (to be completed after admission in the spring or summer before program starts) (1 credit)|
Prerequisite courses completed at another institution must transfer as the equivalent to UM-Flint's prerequisite requirements. Students should utilize the UM-Flint transfer database to determine if coursework completed outside UM-Flint will satisfy prerequisite coursework for the ASD program.
Applications will be accepted December 1, 2016 through January 13, 2017 for fall 2017 admission.
Nursing Applications will be available on the website mid-October for fall 2017 admission.
|Reference form: applicants may download the reference form for fall 2017 admission here.|

Students are strongly encouraged to attend a nursing information meeting, held each month in the Department of Nursing. They provide critical information about the program. Some of the sessions are web broadcast if you cannot attend in person. To view the information session schedule, please click here. If you have specific nursing program questions, please request program information here.
HOW CAN A STUDENT DETERMINE WHAT IS AN APPROPRIATE EQUIVALENT COURSE TO COMPLETE AT ANOTHER INSTITUTION?
UM-Flint has an extensive transfer database for equivalencies. Please click the following link to view: Transfer Database
CAN COURSES BE EVALUATED IF THEY DO NOT TRANSFER AS EQUIVALENT PREREQUISITE COURSES?
All nursing prerequisite courses completed at other institutions must transfer as the equivalent prerequisite course. Course equivalency approvals must be approved by departments with final approval by the Department of Nursing prior to applying to the nursing program. Documentation of this approval must be submitted with your nursing application.
The following courses are evaluated through Nursing:
NSC 178 (Legal/Moral Decisions in Nursing/Healthcare), NSC 207 (Pathophysiology), NSC 209 (Nutrition), NSC 233 (Pharmacology)
If you have completed a prior nursing course that is not transferring as the equivalent, and you would like it to be evaluated for equivalency, you will be required to submit an unofficial transcript showing you completed the course, a course description, and a syllabus to the Nursing Advisor, Vickie Jaskiewicz via email at firstname.lastname@example.org. Courses will not be evaluated if all documents listed above are not submitted.
The following courses are evaluated through the Biology Department:
BIO 167 (Anatomy & Physiology I), BIO 168 (Anatomy & Physiology II), BIO 135 (Microbiology)
If you have completed a prior biology course that is not transferring as the equivalent, and you would like it to be evaluated for equivalency, you will be required to submit an unofficial transcript showing you completed the course, a course description, and a syllabus to the Biology Department Chair, Dr. Steven Myers via email at email@example.com. The Biology Chair sends recommendations to the Department of Nursing for final approvals. Courses will not be evaluated if all documents listed above are not submitted.
The following course is evaluated through the Chemistry Department:
CHM 252 (Biological Chemistry for Health Sciences)
If you have completed a prior biochemistry course that is not transferring as the equivalent, and you would like it to be evaluated for equivalency, you will be required to submit an unofficial transcript showing you completed the course, a course description, and a syllabus to the Nursing Advisor, Vickie Jaskiewicz via email at firstname.lastname@example.org. Vickie works with the Chemistry Department for course equivalency approval. Courses will not be evaluated if all documents listed above are not submitted.
DO PREREQUISITE COURSES EXPIRE AFTER A CERTAIN PERIOD OF TIME?
Yes. BIO 135 (Microbiology), BIO 167 (A&P I), and BIO 168 (A&P II) must be completed within seven years of the deadline date of your nursing application. For example, if you completed a course in fall of 2007, it would expire at the end of December 2014.
My first degree is still in progress. Am I eligible to apply?
Yes, as long as your degree is completed prior to our fall start.
How do students apply for this program?
Application for the ASD program requires a student to submit two separate applications: one to UM-Flint and one to the Department of Nursing. The nursing application includes the application form, two reference forms, and an essay question.
Is the application online?
The nursing application is available on our website to download as a Word file. Students can fill the application out in Word, however it must be printed and submitted as a hard copy.
DOES UM-FLINT'S ASD PROGRAM HAVE A WAIT LIST?
No. UM-Flint does not have a wait list. The ASD program is a competitive admission based on prerequisite GPA, last 30 credit GPA, references, and an essay.
HOW WILL I BE NOTIFIED IF I AM ACCEPTED TO THE PROGRAM? IF I AM NOT ADMITTED, CAN I APPLY AGAIN?
All students will receive a letter via U.S. mail. Students may reapply if they are not admitted.
Can a student work while in the program?
We strongly recommend that a student does not work while completing the accelerated program. The program requires a tremendous amount of time and effort with very little flexibility. If a student does work, we suggest part-time employment with an employer who can accommodate a flexible schedule, as the student's course schedule will change each semester. Students typically spend a minimum of 40 hours per week in class, clinical, and study time.
Is there a part-time option?
Unfortunately, there is not currently a part-time option in the accelerated program. Students have the option to complete the traditional program part time.
Where do students complete clinical, and do they get to choose where they are placed?
The majority of clinical placements are in Genesee county at three major hospitals - Hurley Medical Center, Genesys Regional Medical Center, and McLaren Regional Medical Center-Flint. However, there are certain semesters where students are placed outside of Genesee County in the Lansing, Detroit, or Saginaw areas. Each semester, students are given the opportunity to rank their clinical placement preferences, which are then assigned by the Department of Nursing.
WILL I BE A NURSE ONCE I COMPLETE THE PROGRAM?
No. You will receive a Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) degree, which qualifies you to take the national licensing exam (NCLEX). Once you pass NCLEX, you are a Registered Nurse (RN) with a Bachelor of Science in Nursing, RN, BSN.

Monash Public Library Service has joined Victoria’s 272 public libraries and the State Library Victoria in a statewide campaign.
The campaign seeks to highlight the role of public libraries in building literate, productive, healthy and engaged communities with the goal of ensuring libraries get the support they need to grow, and provide vital services to growing communities.
What can you do?
Write to your State MPs in support of the campaign Budget Submission 2020-2021.
Get involved by sharing your story about how libraries changed your life.
What do our Public Libraries do?
Victoria welcomes 2800 new residents per week. Public libraries receive over 30.5 million visitors annually, equivalent to five visits per Victorian, and visitation continues to outpace population growth. Nearly one in three Victorians participated in a library program last year while over 4 million Wi-Fi and computer sessions were recorded in libraries across the state.
We need to make sure Victorian public libraries are supported to meet rising community demand for their vital services.
Libraries generate $4.30 in benefit for every dollar invested.
Libraries support community health and wellbeing by reducing social isolation and loneliness and improving mental health by giving vulnerable Victorians a place to feel safe, welcomed and included, and providing an entry point to social services.
They create equity by giving free and universal access to technology, training and education, supporting job seekers to find work, helping people connect with essential services, and supporting students from preschool through to university and beyond.
- Libraries foster literacy of all kinds
About 40 per cent of public libraries provide adult literacy activities or English language programs. Libraries are the primary providers of early years’ literacy programs for children aged 0-3 and their families. Public libraries also support digital literacy through the provision of training, and free access to computers and the internet.
- Libraries create communities
Today’s libraries are vibrant neighbourhood hubs offering social interaction and shared cultural experiences. More than one third of Victorians participate in a library program every year, from poetry slams and book launches to conversation cafes, manga clubs and coding workshops.
Public libraries reduce social isolation and exclusion, connecting communities through 47 public library services, 272 individual branches, 336 mobile library stops and 72 other library outlets. They help build strong and engaged communities, where everyone belongs, and offer a platform for state-wide community development.
- Libraries support culture and creativity
Public libraries are among Victoria’s most popular cultural institutions, providing free and equitable access to vast collections of books, films, music and more.
They nurture artistic endeavours of all kinds, providing a place for Victorians to write and create, to engage deeply with an art form, or develop their craft through maker spaces.
- Libraries provide public spaces
Communities need safe and inclusive, well-designed public spaces.
Victorian libraries offer a mix of historic and contemporary public spaces that support community participation and social engagement. They are places where everyone is welcome, and everyone belongs.
On Tuesday 18 June library staff performed a Tri-lingual Storytime at the Libraries Change Lives Parliamentary Showcase singing Ten Little Fingers and Ten Little Toes by Mem Fox & Helen Oxenbury, in English, Chinese and Italian. Check the following Facebook video from this event.
A great success and thanks to parents, children and staff who attended.

In Touch Daily Devotional
by Dr. Charles Stanley
Man’s redemption has always been of supreme importance to God. Consider what this required: divine justice needed to be satisfied—that is, sin’s penalty had to be paid. In addition, forgiveness had to be provided for everyone guilty of sinning against the Lord. The solution was costly: to redeem mankind, the Father sacrificed His one and only Son to die in our place. All who believe in the saving work of Jesus Christ have received incalculable blessing. They’ve been reconciled to the Lord, made part of His family, and given life eternal.
God has charged believers to spread the good news of salvation around the globe and make disciples of all nations (Matthew 28:19). When He opens doors of service for us, we can walk through them confidently. We have His indwelling Spirit to strengthen, guide, and equip us. We will be able to carry out our assignment because of His amazing divine power (Romans 8:11; Ephesians 3:16).
So why should we ever be reluctant to do as God asks? Many times our perspective is shortsighted: perhaps we cannot see how to add one more task to our schedule, or we allow insecurity about criticism, failure, or finances to drive our decisions. None of these things prove an obstacle to the Lord, however. He can open up windows of time, stretch our paycheck, and give us victories in ways we couldn’t imagine in our human thinking.
God is waiting for His children to accept the high calling of serving Him as ambassadors for Jesus Christ. What answer will you give Him?

Student and auto loans still driving consumer credit gains
Posted By Peter Boockvar On December 8, 2012 @ 9:30 am In MacroNotes,Think Tank | Comments Disabled
In the just reported consumer credit data released by the Fed, revolving credit outstanding on a seasonally adjusted basis rose $3.4b m/o/m to $857.6b. That is the highest since May but looking at a longer term chart reflects more bouncing along the bottom.
While nominal GDP growth is at new highs, revolving credit outstanding remains 16.5% below the ’08 record highs. AMEX CEO said it best this week at a conference that the US consumer is “generally reluctant to borrow” and “not demonstrating a desire or willingness to increase that debt burden.” On the nonrevolving side of credit outstanding, debt is at an all time high and that’s been mostly driven of late by student loans outstanding. Student loans held at the Fed’l Govt have increased from $104b in 2008 to $516b in Oct ’12.
Also boosting the nonrevolving credit side of late has been the increase in auto loans which cheap credit from the Fed has helped to engineer at the same time the ABS market has come back to life in the search for yield.

ARTS | BOOK REVIEWS
Three new books worth reading
by Chris Paci
ome of you know that I read a lot of books. Every once in a while I share some of my impressions with Voyageur readers. I try to read new books by either a Métis author or on a Métis topic. In this article I want to introduce you to three very different books.
hristmas La Pouchinn is a gorgeous children’s book by Métis author, Deborah Delaronde, about a Michif Christmas pudding. While the story ends with Christmas celebrations, the illustrations by Virginia Mc- Coy are stylistically attractive, with prominent Métis motifs. The story is in poem form, and follows a hard working family through the four seasons as they gather and harvest ingredients needed to make “La Pouchinn”.
ur Knowledge Canoe is a very attractive booklet from Marcel Labelle. He illustrates the story with photos from workshops and nature. Many Voyageur readers will know that Marcel, aka “Mahigan”, is a proud member of the MNO. He has been building tra- ditional birch bark canoes for a few years now. In this book Marcel illustrates some of the teachings and gifts that are part of the process. This book is invaluable.
What I like about the book is that it has a page of vo- cabulary as well as the recipe to make La Pouchinn. This book is good for parents reading to their children and for early years.
The reading level is about grade 5 or 6. A table of Al- gonquin, English and French words used in the story is included. While intended for young audiences, the ecology lessons embedded throughout the book make it essential reading for all ages. I will read this book over and over and hope Marcel will keep writing.
Deborah Delaronde & Virginia McCoy Christmas La Pouchinn Penticton: Theytus Books. 2010.
Marcel Labelle Our Knowledge Canoe. Labelle, Boston and Labelle publishers. 2010.
Glen Aikenhead & Herman Michell Bridging Cultures: Indigenous and Scientific Ways of Knowing Nature Toronto: Pearson. 2011.
he last book I want to highlight for readers is “Bridging Cultures” by Aikenhead and Michell. Dr Aikenhead is Professor Emeritus at the University of Saskatchewan and Mr Michell is Director of the North- ern Teacher Education Program at La Ronge. This is a mostly academic text, aimed at teacher candidates. The book seeks to assist teachers with thinking about how they can bridge Indigenous and western knowledge about science. This isn’t how the authors describe it. To them, Indigenous Ways of Knowing are very different from “Euro-science”. I disagree with this as a lot of sci- ence doesn’t come from Europe and many Métis have found innovations to balance Indigenous and western knowledge, often finding the best in both to develop something very new (but also old). As Indigenous peo- ple, Métis are cited in the book, as are a number of other Aboriginal authors. What I find most interesting about “Bridging Cultures” is that Aikenhead and Michell have gathered most of the literature and include a cou- ple of real life stories, but on the whole they do not ac- tually talk to Indigenous people. With this in mind, this is essential reading for students, teachers, and scientists alike. I hope it will fuel a great deal of discussion within Indigenous communities and academia. T
As I said, three very different books, each with something to offer: I hope that in future editions of the Voyageur all of you will share reviews on books you are reading so I can catch up on my work. Even more, I hope you will share your stories; write them down and get them published.
MÉTIS ARTISTS | Timothy D. Mohan
Wrestling with war through art M by Linda Lord If you would like a preview, visit Timothy’s web site. www.timothymohanmetisartist.y olasite.com. étis artist, Timothy Mo- han, has a new exhibit ti- tled, “War Series: Wise Up”. Those who see it will be re- minded that the purpose of art is- n’t necessarily to create pretty pictures. In a recent interview Tim said, “I’m not sure what it was that changed my visions this past year, but deep down inside I feel that there are stories to tell and messages I must leave in my wake. I’ve always been a bit of a storyteller in my own way; many of my images tell a tale, but until recently those stories were plain and simple and relegated to prov- ing that everything and everyone is, in one way or another, related, connected by our humanity and our love of life and liberty.” There you will find a short video that shows the “making” of one picture, but be aware that within days of posting, over 100 countries banned its viewing. Mo- han was a bit surprised, but mostly disappointed by this reac- tion. “I’m just happy that I live in a country where freedom of ex- pression is allowed. I know that some people will be disgusted with my latest work, just as some will be enlightened. Some will get the message and others will not. I didn’t plan it this way, but I think I’m using my Native art- work to make both a social and political statement and hopefully create opportunities for individu- als to discuss the horrors of war....” Tim Mohan’s exhibit at humanity is the relentless black and white cruelty of war. Huronia Museum in Midland. world so that every person who sees my work will know that man makes mistakes, sometimes over and over again...”, he says. Like many of us, Tim has, until now, avoided the taboo subjects that may offend. “I’ve always avoided expressing my opinions on politics and the need for social change, but I can no longer do that. I think as both a human be- ing and an artist, I do have a re- sponsibility to share the truth, be it good or bad. I want to do my part to help open the eyes of the Park Road, Midland, Ontario, be- ginning October 14th and contin- uing throughout the month of November. In honour of Remem- brance Day, grade 10 students at Midland Secondary School are currently writing poems related to the War Series. Their poetry will be included with the exhibit and proudly displayed for all to see and read. An exhibition of some of Tim’s other work appeared at the Pene- tanguishene Centennial Museum from May 1st to June 18th and the “War Series: Wise Up” will be shown at the Huronia Museum & Ouendat Village, 549 Little Lake In many ways the new exhibit is not unlike Mohan’s earlier work. The colours are vivid. The images are bold, and they defi- nitely tell a story, but buried within the pleasure of our shared Timothy D. Mohan is a citizen of the MNO.

Before your child returns to school, you will need to meet with school staff and administrators (the principal, your child’s teachers, the school nurse and others who will be working with your child) in order to explain any special needs or supervision your child may require while at school.
The school’s major concern will be what to do if your child has an “event,” a medical issue like a catheter becoming dislodged, nausea and vomiting, fainting or passing out. Whom do they call? What immediate measures should they be prepared to take? How likely is any specific event to occur at all? We suggest that parents provide school personnel with emergency contact information for their child’s oncology team in case any urgent medical needs arise. Schools should also be informed that they should immediately notify parents and/or a child’s healthcare team for the following issues:
- A fever of greater than 101F.
- Exposure to chickenpox.
- Active bleeding that includes nosebleeds, bruising, pink, red or brown urine, red or black “tarry” stools, or “coffee ground” vomit.
- Central line problems, which include any pus, swelling or redness around the site. If you notice leaking or a break in the external tubing, clamp the tubing between the leak and the child.
Below is a list of other important topics you will want to discuss with the school.
- Staff will need to be made aware of the physical and psychological challenges that children with cancer can face, including hair loss, decreased energy, and increased risk for bruising and nosebleeds. Some temporary changes include weight gain or loss, mood swings, facial fullness, problems with coordination, difficulties with fine and gross motor control, muscle weakness and body marks resembling tattoos, which identify sites of radiation. The child may also have a central line which will be closed off and protected and should be covered by clothing when the child is dressed.
- Many children undergoing cancer treatment become fatigued easily. Your child’s ability to participate in activities may be limited, although we recommend allowing your child to do as much as he or she feels able to do. The fatigue may be severe enough that naps during school time or attending for only half days is necessary. At times, the fatigue may also make it difficult for your child to complete assignments. You should ask teachers to consider allowing extra time on those occasions when your child is especially tired. However, teachers should still have as high expectations for your child as for any student in the classroom.
- Some medications, such as steroids, can make children more energetic and challenging to handle. Teachers should be aware of your child’s medication schedule, particularly when drugs that might alter your child’s mood are being used. At the same time, you should let teachers know you expect your child to be respectful and follow the same rules as the other children in the classroom. Ask to be notified if your child is not able to meet these expectations.
- While your child is receiving treatment, none of your children should be exposed to chicken pox or measles. If someone in any of your children’s class has either of these illnesses, a letter should be sent to parents reminding them to keep their sick children at home. This is standard practice in some school districts whether a child in the classroom has cancer or not, but it is wise to check to be sure that this will be done especially in your child’s case.
- Just as teachers already do with their classes, children in the classroom should be reminded to wash their hands regularly and not to share food or water bottles with one another in order to minimize transmission of illnesses.
- Discuss any particular issues related to taking medications, needing to eat more frequently or on a schedule, or the likelihood of needing increased bathroom breaks.
- Ask teachers to include your child in all activities, regardless of whether or not your child misses a class or even a whole day of school. If there is a field trip coming up, ask the teacher to let you know far enough in advance that you can make plans to include your child. If the class works on a group project, ask the teacher to assign your child to a group, even if your child is not present when assignments are made. When calling attendance, ask the teacher to read your child’s name, even when the teacher knows your child will be absent. All of these actions by the teacher show that your child is part of the class despite frequent or prolonged absences.
You should also talk with the school about “accommodations,” or changes in certain rules that make it easier for your child to remain in school and do well. Common accommodations include:
- Attending half days
- Having extra time to move from room to room when classes change
- Being able to go to the nurse’s office or bathroom without having to ask permission each time
- Being able to use the elevator
- Being excused from physical education or recess
- Permission to wear a hat or scarf if your child has lost hair
- Providing an extra set of textbooks that can remain at home so they do not need to be carried back and forth and are available if your child cannot attend school
In most schools, the principal or other administrators can approve these simple changes in routine. Occasionally, schools will request a physician’s recommendation. Less common accommodations include allowing extra time to take a test, taking a test in a separate room to minimize distraction, or having someone read the test to your child. These kinds of changes often require that the school develop a 504 Plan with you and your child’s teachers.

Hello, I am having a problem with a certain function which is supposed to be one-to-one and onto. The function is:
My approach is to tackle this by looking at each piece and trying to prove that each piece is one-to-one and onto. For the first part where z is less than or equal to 0, the one-to-one proof was straightforward. But proving it is onto seems straightforward, but I keep concluding it is NOT onto.
We've done the following in most of the onto proofs I have seen:
let g(z) = y
-2z = y
z = -(y/2).
Because this isn't necessarily an integer (or part of the domain) I should conclude that it isn't onto, but the book says it is. Am I approaching the problem correctly? Or am I missing something? Thanks!
Edit: Nevermind, I see my problem. In this case y is defined as a natural number, but for this portion, y is also even. Thus, when I divide y by 2 in that last step, it will always be an integer.

Uncover new home items and sources Proper Here for house projects – huge and little, or for a dream custom home. Oriental, plain, natural, country look, and modern styles assure you are going to discover a wooden garden bridge that is as excellent for your garden as the famous wooden Japanese bridge at the Gardens of Giverny featured in so numerous gorgeous works of art painted by Monet. Sooner or later, I went back to work outside the house and my flower garden suffered.
We group exactly where our parents planted tomatoes, eggplants, and other assorted vegetables in the same garden exactly where we played in our swing set. Take a tiny time to determine which vegetables to grow Be prepared to add herbs and flowers to your vegetable garden or herbs and vegetables to your flower garden! Some thing straightforward like a lack of chill hours can result in a decreased harvest or no harvest at all. I am so excited to garden for the initial time with my Son – he is two thanks for helping us out ! We have a standard vegetable garden, good to see some great garden layouts.
So, although the garden is bone dry, I now have a handful of photos of largely eye-catching and fascinating moths to try to recognize and understand about. My Mom lives close to the Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs and has a terrible time with deer consuming her garden. With this connector you can simply use one more hose for watering your garden with no disconnecting your ScareCrow. I adore the wisteria and have been taking into consideration adding 1 in my personal garden for a even though.
If your children are old sufficient, get them involved in picking which vegetables to develop and in producing their own vegetable garden plans. Slugs and snails are the most widespread pest of hosta, they eat tiny round holes in the leaves so I generally use a slug bait if I want a excellent show season. Sometimes it is not straightforward to have a garden you would like to have, for numerous causes perhaps your section is tiny, you could try a vertical garden, that is expanding up not out. Mary Copeland will blast right here and Pheasant’s Eye in no way blooms a lot more than once in my garden.
My a single guidance: unless you don’t thoughts the advertising and marketing stuff from NHGC and unless you are a newbie gardener who wants a lot of advice, go ahead and sign up for the Residence Depot Garden Club. It comes with 10 years of loving attention from the earlier owner, but no garden manuals or identification tags for the many plantings. Make positive the space is free of tree roots and gets adequate amounts of sunshine (6 – eight hours constitutes complete sun).

Thermage® is an FDA-approved treatment that can help facial skin look younger and feel firmer. While its effects are comparable to some other treatments that Natural Image OC offers, Dr. Lenore Sikorski frequently uses it on facial features that require a focused and delicate approach, such as the eyes. The device is uniquely suited to improving these areas.
Thermage helps Orange County patients tighten lax and wrinkled areas and redefine facial features. It uses radiofrequency technology to reshape and promote new collagen, the main structural protein between your connective tissues. This helps create a smoother, more toned appearance.
Your Initial Consultation
One of the motivations behind Dr. Sikorski’s work is helping people find the right path to achieving their goals. You will have extensive time to talk about what’s driving your decision for cosmetic improvement; to receive a comprehensive examination, and to collaborate on the right approach. Because Dr. Sikorski has experience in a broad array of procedures, she can recommend one that will suit your needs.
Surgical and non-surgical approaches both have their advantages. Orange County patients with significant sagging may be better suited to a procedure such as a blepharoplasty or a facelift. However, if you are a good candidate for non-surgical skin tightening, Thermage may be right for you.
Your Experience with Thermage
Treatment takes place at our office in the Orange County area. As part of the process:
- Your physician’s assistant will provide medication and numbing cream to reduce discomfort.
- The Thermage device will create deep heat.
- Radiofrequency energy will heat the deep layers of tissue in the areas you and Dr. Sikorski have selected for treatment. This will encourage the production of collagen.
- The device will deliver a final dose of warmth to the surface of your skin.
While Thermage doesn’t require a lengthy recovery, you will need someone to drive you home if you receive pain medication as part of your procedure. Your skin may be slightly red afterward, but there should be no bruising or other signs of treatment, and you should be able to return to normal activities later the same day.
Expect results in as little as 24 hours, though the majority of the improvement you see will depend on how quickly your body produces new collagen. By six months, you should be able to enjoy the full benefits of your treatment. Dr. Sikorski may recommend that you have a follow-up treatment at the end of this period for even firmer and younger-looking skin.
Are you ready to improve your appearance?
Cosmetic Surgery and Dermatology for the Greater Orange County Area.
Dr. Sikorski offers cosmetic & dermatology procedures to patients in all Orange County communities, including Aliso Viejo, Anaheim, Irvine, Laguna Niguel, Lake Forest, Mission Viejo, San Clemente, and San Juan Capistrano. Schedule your own consultational appointment today!

I got energy on Sunday to clean the kitchen and the living room! It felt so good. Of course then I had to lay down and take a nap! UGHHH!! The Energy Spurt continued into Monday evening when I came home, sorted the mounds of laundry in the bedroom and starting laundry. It at least looks like a controlled mess now. DH will continue with the laundry today.
We went to the grocery store on Sunday. Spent ALOT of money, but we hadn't been in a while. So this will curtail the eating out, since we have things at home now to eat.
I did get the new car, well new to me. I know that I probably shouldn't have, but I still have problems telling myself no when I have the opportunity for something that I have wanted for so long. Plus it gives my son/DH a dependable car to share(my old one). Neither one of them seem to have a car that they can rely on. So in many ways, it was a smart decision. Just feeling guily about it now. This is how I got into this mess in the first place. I can justify just about anything to myself and others if I want it bad enough. Good news is that the gas mileage is better than it was in my old car. We checked it out yesterday when DH drove to Marietta.
We leave for vacation a week from Wednesday(Jekyll Island). It is the first real vacation that I have been able to give the kids. I am thrilled and can't wait. It will have to be a little tighter since the new car purchase, but that is okay. We are staying in a hotel that has breakfast and has a refrig and microwave in the room. We are going to take lunch meat/sandwich things for lunches and snacks. Then we will only eat out one meal a day. The hard part is that my DH and I love to eat out, so controlling ourselves is what will be hard. But we have the beach and the pool, that should be enough...oh and they are taking a deep sea fishing trip. So that should be plenty. It will truly be relaxing, what a vacation should be.

I got energy on Sunday to clean the kitchen and the living room! It felt so good. Of course then I had to lay down and take a nap! UGHHH!! The Energy Spurt continued into Monday evening when I came home, sorted the mounds of laundry in the bedroom and starting laundry. It at least looks like a controlled mess now. DH will continue with the laundry today.
I got the dining area cleaned up, the living room cleaned up and the Kitchen cleaned up! YEA! I feel better about being here now! I did list the TV on Freecycle and have not heard anything. I will take it to good will as soon as my husband can load it in the car!(he damaged his hand today.)
Speaking of DH, he is driving me crazy! He did a search on mapquest for the hotel we are staying in at Jekyll Island and it didn't show that it was on the beach. However, I pulled up pictures of the hotel website and you can see the beach! But he kept calling me over to show me where the directions were taking him! I tried to tell him that those mapquests are not always accurate, but it was driving me crazy!!!
I listed some items on ebay today. Hopefully they will sell and add to my ebay fund.
I told my parents about the vacation.It went something like this"
Dad:"Why Jekyll Island, do you know someone there to stay with?"
Me: No...I have never been there.
Mom: Are you camping?
Me: No, I found a good deal on a hotel on the beach.
Mom: Well, you will have fun.
And that was the end of it!
Today was a NSD. helps when you don't leave the house.
I almost made it! At 6:00 I was having a NSD. But then....
My DH elected to pick son up from soccer and do dinner instead of taking daughter to cheerleading. Ok...that usually works pretty good. However, he also had some work to do on his car. Now I know my DH pretty well...and one thing always leads to another. Usually when he says that, we come home at 8:45 from cheerleading and dinner hasn't even been started or has another 30 minutes to cook(always feels he has to do elaborate things!) So in order to save aggrevation and mad feelings, I picked up dinner on the way home. If I had pushed the issue, he would have had his feelings hurt because he is honestly trying.. Sometimes it is just worth it. I know my DH and love him dearly, his ADD is just something I have learned to deal with.
Good news? I transferred the same amount that was spent on food to the vacation fund! And I think he is starting to come around witht he budgeting thing. He actually knew that we shouldn't be spending the money to eat out, as we have been spending alot lately. that is a start! He also asked about the state of our(my) finances. Wanted to make sure we had enough to cover the propane and what he needed to do to make sure we had enough for vacation! Unfortunately, I wasn't in front of my account so I couldn't speak intelligently about it. Will bring that up again later!
Yes that is right...but let me explain. I have been unable to fight the temptation to eat out lately. So I have decided that when I do eat out, if it is completely avoidable, I am going to transfer the same amount into my savings. I transferred 7.78 for my lunch and 3.43 for my breakfast. I haven't decided if I will put this in the EF or the vacation fund. Probably the vacation fund since that is what I am supposed to be saving the most for right now!
yup...they finally came and picked it up last night. $50 added to my ebay total(actually is it was craigslist, but they all go toward the total!) I put the $50 into the household maintenance account. I wanted to put it into the vacation fund, but until we get the washer straightened out, I thought it should go there. I can always move it later if this part we ordered fixes the washer.
My child support payment was $9 more than I estimated so I transferred that to the vacation fund. New total is various savings accounts...$743!!! I am in awe!
We got the order forms for the class rings for my son. Have to order then on Friday with a $65 deposit. I will take that money out of his savings account. I hate to do that(seems now that there is money in ssavings, I hate to take it out, even for its intended use!) I then have to make payments on it, but thanks to my new financial mindset, I am not stressing or calling my sisters to help! I've got it covered! What a feeling!
On another note, I can't seem to shake the eating out bug. I left my cream cheese at home this morning, so i stopped for breakfast. It was late when we got home from thhe soccer game the other night, so i stopped at subway. I have just got to get myself back into the proper mindset to not do that! Yesterday I was wanting Subway for lunch. I don't usually eat lunch but yesterday, I could almost taste it! But fortunately, I had left my wallet at home and had no easy access to money...it wasn't worth going to the local bank(that we rarely use but still have an account with) and going into the bank(since I dont have any checks) and cashing a check. So i went home and we had grilled cheese and tomato soup. More cans off the shelf! Any ideas? My willpower just sucks right now!
Another half.com sale! Yea! This month has started off great! Still waiting on my money from the end of last month. It says it is pending....anyone know what I should expect? This is the first payment from them.
I don't think that I have anything listed on ebay, so I must get that done in the next couple of days. The ebay table is overflowing! There was a minor avalanche yesterday when the cat jumped from the top of the old refrigerator(that the person didn't come pick up UGGG!) to the ebay table....all is well though.
Picked up my laundry from my mom yesterday...all washed and folded. I know she doesn't mind, but I really want my washer back! Something about being 36 years old and having my mom wash my undies bothers me! We ordered a part last night and hopefully DH can fix it since we are not having any luck finding a used one and I hate to spend the money on a new one! I think that it is really shocking my mom that I haven't asked her for the money to buy one yet...That is the old me.
Might have to drive 2 hours for a soccer game tonight...will know later. I am hoping not. Had to drive an hour last night at the last minute! i couldn't feel my feet by the time it was over! I was the one with the ugliest knit blanket thrown over my head!(fortunatly I found it in the car!)
That is how much I have in my various savings accounts! I have never ever had that much money "sitting around". I know I blogged about that yesterday, but some was added today and I am just tickled to death!
I added $9 to my vacation fund. I had alloted $30 for Girl Scout cookies,not remembering how much I had ordered. They are only $21 so I transferred the difference into the Vacation Fund. That has been the biggest thing for me...putting anything over what I allow into savings...it is already taken out of myy account, so why not?
I might need to take some out of savings if my DH doesn't give me any money today. But I can make it back up when he does.
It is storming today...hopefully they will canceel the soccer game tomorrow. Isn't that terrible? But I really don't want to drive the 2 1/2 hour drive to sit all day!
I also paid all of the utilities today as well as the credit card payments. Every utility is on time! I made a payment on every credit card, and extra on one! I am on a roll...look out!
I do have one UGHH! My DH picked my son up from practice yesterday and went to Burger King. I have nothing against them going to burger king, but that meant that I would have to feed my daughter then. I hate to wait until we get home at 9:00 from cheerleading before I even start something, so fast food it was again! If he hadn't gone to BK, he would have made dinner and it would have been ready when we got home. UGGGG!!!! Another eating out that I wasn't planning on!
I received my tax refund this today. I made Jan and Feb mortgage payments already today. YEAH!!!
My DH also gave me some money. Since I don't depend on his money, everything he gives me can be put directly into savings most of the time. I split it between household maint, Christmas fund and vacation fund. He also paid for another load of firewood, so we should be set on firewood for the rest of the season and some of next! YEAH!!
I have almost $400 in my various savings accounts. That is the most I have ever had saved! It feels so good! I just keep looking at my balance. Can't stop! Plus, there is $250 sitting in the account that I have paid my sister that she hasn't taken out yet. So on paper, I look like I Have $250 more than I actually do!
We are going to the circus Sat night. they are calling for snow flurries where I live...should make for an interesting drive home as we won't be getting home until late. I have budgeted $150 for the circus. Think I might just take cash with me and when it is gone, it is gone. But I hate the idea of not having any access to any other cash in case of emergency. I could take the debit card, and leave it in the glove box...that way if I get the urge, I have to walk back out to the car. That might work.
I have been getting lots of questions about the item I have listed on ebay. It has 1 more day. Hopefully it will sell. That would put me close to the $100 challenge for the month.
I made my first sale ever on half.com...YEAH!! This brings my ebay total to 35.90(after fees, etc) for the month. Slowly but surely getting there!
I spent 6.00 today at the gas station, but other than that, it was a good day. Worked from home...makes it easier to not spend!
Dish Network came and hooked up the HDTV today. It is awesome! I also rearranged the furniture to accomodate the larger tv. Shouldn't have done that, but I did anyway. I am paying the price now!! Still have some more to adjust, but it looks better and I just couldn't move the sofa any further!
Went to my son's soccer game. They lost. But I always enjoy watching them!!
Well, So far I have already used $40 of my $125 Gas budget since Friday. YIKES! I might make since we don't have any away soccer games next week, but it will be close! I don't have to go to the game on Friday...it is just down the street from my sister's house, so I feel comfortable not attending the game. YEAH! I jumped right on that!(last time I missed a game, my son broke his ankle...it was the one and only game I have ever missed!!!)
I kind of want time to go fast so I can get on with the budget...but i don't want time to fly so that I miss life! Make Sense? I am excited about the budget and the fact that I am finally growing up!
I ate my bagel this morning...back to being good! Just have to be disciplined...I can do it!!
I spent $22 for gas today and $6 on snacks at the convenience store before cheerleading. Need to plan that better, but not sure what to do there. Any ideas??
I have several items on ebay ending tomorrow and don't even have any bids on them! Starting to get frustated! Do I just keep listing items over and over again? Or do I let them sit for a while and list them again later?
My mom tried to force to take a cedar chest today. I don't want it. i am trying to get rid of things. i told her that I didn't think I could use it. She sent back what it was used for and where I could put it!!! I politely told her that I didn't want it but that I would be glad to put it on craigs list if she wanted! I don't know if I offended her since it was my grandmas chest, but I don't want it! So go me for sticking to my guns and not taking the chest!
My mom has paid for my daughter to do cheerleading for almost 2 years now. She also pays for the violin lessons. Each of these is $95/month. I told my mom this morning that I will start paying for the cheerleading each month. I have worked it into my budget and I assured her that if I couldn't do it one month, I would let her know. She seemed a little relieved, but also disappointed. My parents are retired and their income has reduced due to the stock market. So they are stressed each month. However, I think my mom ENJOYS paying for things because she thinks it keeps her involved. Eventually I would like to pay for the violin lessons as well...but baby steps.
I ate out again today. I had a dr appt in Atlanta so I grabbed Chik-Fil-A on the way home. We dont have one of those here. Lately my willpower for eating out has been non-existent. I need to get back on that band wagon!
My appointment went well. I am going to have surgery to remove the endometriosis in April.
I have increased the amount of the automatic deposit into the kids savings accounts to $20 per pay period. Hopefully I wont miss it.
Finally got some items listed on ebay. I really need to spend more time on them, but end up hastily posting them. Maybe I can take a Saturday and get everyting posted. I don't think we have anything going on this weekend.
Today is my son's 16th birthday. I let him sleep late this morning. Ran several errands on the way to dropping him off at school. He told me last night that he has a soccer game tonight...and he needed new shin guards for it! Got the shin guards this morning. But since I go to all the games, I now have to drive to an away game this evening. I thought I was going to have extra money in my gas budget...but probably not now. will have to allot more now that the soccer games have started.
I was 2 hours late for work...not that that is a big deal. I have a flexible schedule so it is not a big deal. But we have a project kicking off next week so we are going crazy getting ready for it. I like it when we are this busy though...I work better under pressure!
Yesterday I spent $7 for lunch. My willpower is just not very strong right now. I made a catergory in my quicken for cash though so that i can keep up with where I spend cash, when I have it. I rarely keep cash on hand.
Well, I got two 1/2 out of the five goals accomplished. I planned the birthday party which happened today. It was a success. I did my taxes with turbo tax and e-filed them. And my husband did his laundry(that is the 1/2). Techincally, I didn't get but 2 done, but since I am willing to take credit for what my husband did too!
The cheer competition yesterday was good, but took longer than expected. My husband was up all night Friday night, really bad sick. He isn't sick much so I knew when he didnt get up he was truly sick. I had to drive the 2 hours there and back, which I am not used to. There was a co-ed Level 6 team(highest I have ever seen) that was totally awesome. But one of the men was doing their tumbling and hit a girl in the back of the head. She instantly went down and they ended up calling an ambulance. It was pretty scary for me as a spectator...I can only imagine what her parents felt. But that delayed the already running behind competition by almost an hour. So we didn't get home until about 6:00.
I had estimated $125 for the competition and going out to eat afterward. Last year we bought my daughter something at each competition, which was promptly discarded in the depths of her room. I told her this year we would not be purchasing anything at the competitions(maybe the last one or something). So instead we are going out to eat after each competition, since we live in the country, we don't always get good restaurant food. She doesn't remember that we ate out last year too and bought her things(no wonder I was broke!) so we are really saving money. Anyway...of the $125 estimated, we only spent $65!! Gas was $22, $10 to get in, and $13 for Chik-fil-A. We also stopped at the Dunkin Donuts(my family has a thing for donuts) and got a some donuts to bring home. I attributed them to the cheer budget since we wouldn't have stopped if we hadn't been at the competition.
I fell sleep on the couch when we got home. I think the competition did me in yesterday. We had to walk a good distance from where we parked and just being gone all day was a bummer. We had the birthday party today. I am really hurting tonight thanks to the newly diagnosed endometriosis. Really should be in bed by now. Going soon.
I had to get paper towels and toilet paper yesterday so I ventured to Dollar General. I know...I should use handtowels instead of paper towels. I purchased a large 30 pack of towels and have no idea where any of them are! Maybe if I got my laundry caught up I would find them! LOL.
I did real good though, as I only purchased what I needed. DG is usually a spend-a-rama for me. So I was proud of myself.
Checked my accounts online today. Sister 1 hasn't taken her $200 out of our joint account($50/payday). It has been sitting there. Sister 2 hasn't deposited her checks for $300. So as far as the bank is concerned, I have had over $500 sitting in my accounts for over a month now! WOW!! If only it were true!
Have a cheer competition tomorrow. Have to be outside of Atlanta at 8:30. We have been to Atlanta entirely too much lately! This will make 5 trips within 4 weeks!! UGH! And I have to go back next Thursday for a doctors appointment. I guess that is part of living as far in the country as we do...have to travel a good distance to have good doctors and entertainment!
Yesterday was a NSD for me. YEA!
I still haven't taken the pictures to get the items on ebay...I just haven't had the energy to do it. I am at home today with a (not so) sick kid. Maybe I will get some pictures taken later. Need to do some laundry too.
I have set up some new accounts in my sidebar and in my Quicken. I have added the car fund, the vacation fund, and the Christmas fund. These accounts aren't going to grow quickly, but seeing them will induce me to put money in them. I didn't actually open accounts at bank, but rather set up dummy accounts. Will transfer money to them on pay day so I can start watching them grow.
Yesterday was a weak day. I decided to get breakfast on the way to work. I haven't done that in a really long time. But I really wanted a fast food coke...they just taste different. Anyway, I didn't even eat half of my sandwich and only a few of the hasbrown nuggets! What a waste! Thought I wanted it...guess not.
at 5:00 yesterday, I was informed that my son needed a ride home from soccer practice. He hadn't mentioned it and I hadn't thought about it. So at 5:45 I left my friends house(closer to the practice) to go pick him up. They were supposed to get their jerseys. At 6:40 I left. I still hadn't picked my daughter up!!! Told him to get a ride to my friends house and I went to get Pizza. I had dinner all planned too. I was going to make tuna casserole(a favorite standby of mine). But it was too late to even begin! The pizza took almost an hour for them to make(I picked it up)...guess I know where my son should look for a job! But they had these coupons on the counter...I asked the guy about it since I wasn't given the deal. It took $10 off my total! I got 2 large pizzas and 2 orders of cheesy bread for $22! I thought that was an excellent deal!
I also filled up my car for $22 yesterday. It is funny how simple things make you smile. No so long ago, I didn't ever fill my car up! Granted the prices were outrageous! But even so, If I was still living like I was, I would only be getting enough gas to get me through to the next day or so. I can't tell you when the last time was that I didn't fill up my tank! And I actually have money in the account to do that! Like I said, simple things.
I made the final payment to one of my medical bills. And another one will be paid off on the 15th. YEAH!
Unfortunately, I think that I will start receiving bills for the CT's I have had done lately. The previous payments will be replaced with new ones! YUCK!
I transferred $40 into my savings account this morning. That is the amount of gas left over from last week's budget. I still think I will be able to two Mortgage payments in february, but not as early as I would have liked.
I made payments on all of my credit cards this month. Still need to get a couple down under the limit, but at least I made payments!
My brakes were more than I estimated. I had guessed $125 and they were $160! YIKES!
I went to the grocery store yesterday. Instead of going to Ingles, I went to the smaller IGA. My reasoning was that although IGA had slightly higher prices, their selection is no where near as great as Ingles.(and I wasn't feeling particularly frugal yesterday)! So I figured I wouldn't be tempted to purchase what we didn't need. I made it through every aisle in 20 minutes and only purchased what we needed. Spent $75. I feel sure that I would have spent at least double that at Ingles.
I didn't get anything posted on ebay yesterday. I am still really sore from the biopsy. Didn't do much of anything. Finally had to tell DH that i was in pain and I couldn't do like I usually do. No clean towels? Wash some! No tea made? Make some! He finally got the hint.
All in all, I think I am looking pretty good for february...as long as those unplanned things don't pop up too often!
Well, I got paid Friday. I made payments on my credit cards...all of them. So I met one of my goals for the month. I also have fully funded my contacts. My appointment is Monday. I can't wait.
Yesterday was a nsd...today won't fare as well. I have to get new rotors for my car for my dh to put on. He has gone to get them now.
Bad news though...there is no way that I will be able to pay he mortgage this week. I will have to make two payments in February in order to get it caught up. i haven't planned competely through Feb yet, so I am not sure that this is possible. Will try to figure it out later today.
I have lots of items top put on ebay today. Need to get pictures of them and get them posted.
Yesterday I got gas for $20 and dinner for my daughter and myself. It was a total of $26 spent for the day.
Today I spend $7 for a dozen donuts on the way back from the biopsy. That is all I spent. The hospital validated parking and my DH bought me dinner since I hadn't eaten since last night.
Got paid today, but am too tired to work out all the details right now. Had the 2nd biopsy today.(went much better than the one last week) Left home at 7:00 this morning and got home at 8;30 tonight. Everything that needed to be paid was set up with an automatic payment, so I am not concerned that something didn't get paid. Just too tired to work out the details right now.
DH left as soon as we got home to drive his brother and SIL to Savannah to pick up 2 cars that they bought. They will drive down tonight, get a hotel room and drive back tomorrow. I suggested waiting until tomorrow to leave, but they wanted to be able to drive during the day tomorrow in case there are any problems. Kids are at the Dad's so I am home alone until sometime tomorrow. Peace and quiet! Now if i could just find someone to take the dogs!
I had a dr appointment to find out about the dizzy spells.(Fluid on my ears). Copay $20 Prescriptions $39
Son had chiropractor appointment(not covered by insurance) $35
Total spent $94. YIKES!!! The Chiro was already in my budget, but the other two items weren't! Have to make more adjustments.
Discussed with DH the need to get some of the logs in the woods above our house cut up for firewood. I found some firewood in the paper for a pretty good price, but he is adament that he will get the logs down and cut up. We also decided that he would take his truck and load it with gravel then spread it himself. We can get a load of gravel cheap...we usually pay for the delivery. We are in desperate need as our driveway is a big mud pit due to recent rains! Working on more money saving ideas.
I have my 2nd biopsy tomorrow. It is at a different hospital. No eating after midnight and we have to be there earlier...so we have to leave the house at 6:00 AM!!! UGGGGG. I am so not a morning person!
I woke up and got in the shower this morning. As I was drying my hair, my daughter came in sick. She has a spot on the back of her head that she scratched to bleeding in her sleep. So I have got to take her to the doctor. I could have stayed in bed!!!
Yesterday was a NSD. Go Me! I have added some forgotten expenses into my budget and don't know how I am going to get through the next couple of weeks. I always do though. While I don't want time to fly, I just want to get this over with!
My best friend had a family situation a couple of nights ago. Long story short, her daughters cell phone was broken. Although they have the insurance, it is $50 to replace the phone. I decided today to give her the $50. This will not put a serious crimp in my budget. This friend has helped me out before when I needed it. Although the phone isn't a need, it will relieve a little of her stress trying to figure out how to replace the phone. It feels very good to be able to do this for them. In the past, I have never been able to help anyone. Since I have been living with a budget, I have been able to put money where it makes more of a difference and I rarely run short! It is amazing when I just started paying attention to where the money was actually going!
My daughter had pictures at cheerleading and one of the moms brought in Subway! How dare her! Anyway...that led to us getting subway for dinner. We haven't eaten out in a really long time so I am not going to beat myself up over it.
I have been swamped at work today...I like being busy and kind of wish it was this way all the time!
Yesterday was a pricey day as I had to refill my prescriptions..$55. Ouch! It was $20 to ship items sold on ebay and $6 for a gallon of milk and a newspaper! Another Ouch!
Just got home form the biopsy. I am sore but not in too much pain. It took alot longer than anticipated...not the test itself, but the waiting. We had snow last night so it took a little bit longer to get out of town, but the closer we got to Atlanta, the snow disappeared. They have already called off school for tomorrow as well.
I spent $7 at Chic-fil-a for dinner(Hadn't eaten since last night) and filled up for $23. It has been an expensive gas week so far and it is only Tuesday. The extra trips to cheerleading aren't helping! And we have to go back to Atlanta on Sunday for our first competition.
I called to make the appointment to get contacts. The appointment is next Thursday at 3:30. This is one of my goals! So it will be met next week! I am so excited!
I spent 9.00 yesterday for some labels to print postage through paypal. I also ordered a bunch of the free boxes from the post office. I am getting the hang of the shipping thing!
Still not sure how I am going to handle getting the mortgage paid(see previous blogs) but I am sure it will all work out. I am closer now and I know that my husband will be giving me some money between now and then...so it might be close.
I set up automatic payments through bill pay to come out of my checking tomorrow based upon an automatic deposit that comes on Tuesdays. However, since today is a holiday, it won't hit my account until Wednesday. Hoping that the automatic payments don't clear until Wed!(since this is a check that they actually mail, it should be okay.
I have my biopsy tomorrow. I am really nervous about it. I was okay at first but now I am freaking out. What if it is cancer of some sort. It hit my on Sunday that I never upped my life insurance. I only have $15k through work. That is hardly enough to bury me and pay my bills. I am sure that the house has credit life insurance so it will be paid off but with this market, converting that to cash will take a while. And then I would be leaving my kids to live with my ex(who is in a less than ideal living situation) and this would send my sisters into a frenzy causing a huge civil war in the north Ga Mtns! I am trying to stay calm and collected..but that only works for a little while.
I know this is long but I needed to get all of this out...especially about the biopsy...don't want to worry other people. That is what I do...I hold everything in. So thanks for listening.
I was tempted...I was starving by the time I was heading home. My husband had decided to go work on his truck(see husband rantings post). It was just going to my my son and I for dinner as my daughter goes to her friends house on Wednedsays and then to church. I thought about all the options...Taco Bell...Pizza Buffett...pizza delivery...wendy's. But in the end, we went home and had grilled cheese and french fries. GO ME!
We went and picked up my son's truck last night. When did I become old enough to have a child that has a car???? Just doesn't seem right to me. But none the less, I have a child that has a car. He is very excited about it. He should get his license next month. In a round about way, my mom loaned him the money to get the truck(loan from insurance policy in his name that she owns). She made him read all of the papers last night and sign that he had read it. He has to make monthly payments on it. I am not worried about him and money...he is like a scrooge and has learned well from my mistakes. Trust me, you don't want to borrow money from him!!!
I went Monday to the surgeon. He wasn't sure that the hernia is what is causing my pain. So he ordered a CT scan. Fortunately I was able to be worked in so I didn't have to drive the 2 hours one way again this week! But it made for a long day. The contrast they made me drink was nasty! I should hear something from the doctor today.
I spent quite a bit of money on Monday. The doctor was $40. The gas was $23. And dinner was $25(bought my best friend dinner because she gave up her day to go with me to the doctor).
Tuesday was better. Only spent $2 for hair ties and $8 for shipping an ebay item.
I have 6 items listed on ebay. I listed them at no reserve. I have only gotten 3 bids...for the .99 starting bids. It appears that I will be selling a basket that I paid upwards of $40 for for .99 unless there are some more bids in the next 6 hours. It is a very frustrating lesson learned. My only saving grace is that the money spent on these baskets was spent years ago when I wasn't in the financial crisis I am in now. Like purchasing the baskets is not a recent bad decision. Does that make any sense?
I haven't left the house today...and don't plan to since my husband has my car. I have spent no money today!
I posted some more of the "collectibles" on ebay. I might make another $100 or so. I think I got the shipping straight this time...lets hope anyway. Still have more to post, but the batteries in the camera died and I can't find anymore in the house that will make the camera work!
I was just looking at my financial picture. Things are looking pretty good. I still have to come up with some money by the end of the month, but I think I should be able to between listing these things on ebay and what my husband should give me. Ordinarily, this time of the year, I am just trying to hang on until I can do my taxes. I have always done the rapid refund becuase I REALLY needed the money. This is the first year in a really long time that I am not counting the days until I can do my taxes. I think I might actually do them on turbotax myself. I am just so excited!
I also have money in my savings account and my kids savings accounts. Sure it isn't much. But this is the first time in almost a year that the money put into those accounts have stayed more than 2 weeks! This is progress for me.
Took down the Christmas decorations today. I am home alone so I was able to get alot done. But I think I may have done too much as now my stomach is killing me! When DH gets home, he will have to clean the living room and daughter will have to dust piano. Go to the surgeon tomorrow. Not looking forward to that drive but can't wait to get this taken care of! Seems I can't get half of what I want to do done before I start to hurt.
I went to Home Depot yesterday to pick up some tools for the fence. THey have marked down their Christmas trees to $50! I was thrilled. Right after Christmas, this tree was $89. It was originally $130. so I was thrilled. However, when I inquired, the only one left was the actual one on display. It comes apart into 3 pieces, but I couldn't see me struggling with it. I guess that I have really started to get the hang of this money thing...because it wouldn't have been that hard, but I made up reasons why I shouldn't purchase the tree. It is getting easier each day to avoid purchases or to make up reasons why i don't want to go through the hassle.
I have to take my ebay items to ship today. Made about $100. I spent over $500 on the items 10 years ago, told that hey would appreciate in value. I was niave and spent money foolishly. They are only worth what someone is willing to pay for them. I have tried to sell them before and they never hit the reserve I was asking. This time I didn't set a reserve. It is worth it to me to have them out of the house and have a little extra money to help keep me on budget the next few weeks.
I spent $10.98 at Home Depot for the fence supplies. $15 in gas.
After the initial shock of the diagnoses yesterday I calmed down and began thinking rationally. I called and made an appointment with a surgeon for Monday that has operated on me before and my father before. I also checked my insurance. I should only have to pay $100 copay for the surgery, since it is outpatient. I talked to my sister(my medical go to person) and have a reasonable plan, as long as the doctor can work with my schedule. If I have the surgery on Wed or Thur, I should be able to at least work from home part time by Monday. This will cut down on the time off needed. I hate to use my days for this! Still nervous, given the past history, but at least I have done all I can to prevent the mistakes of last time.
I made $100 on the items I sold on Ebay. i straightened out the shipping fiascos and sent everyone corrected invoices. Will mail all items tomorrow.
I had to get gas this morning because my lovely DH didn't put gas in the car on the way home last night. Did I mention that I am ready to kill someone? Anyone will do. Just about togo crazy!
The truck for my son is awesome! DH will go this evening and put a deposit until the rest of the money comes. MS(son) is thrilled! Still talking about other truck, but at least he as different one to drive!

The image captured below titled "Balance" was a byproduct of my boredom. It was about 2pm and I was bored, so I took a drive up the road where there were giant golden aspen groves. I grabbed my camera and hiked out into one of them. The image below is the result; it is titled Balance because the colors throughout the image are in balance. The sky is bright on one side and dark on the other, while the tree trunks are opposite the sky on each side of the image. Hopefully you enjoy the image!
December is the season to Save!

Kim Crosby, a rookie on the ARCA stock-car circuit, probably spent less time driving at Talladega Superspeedway last Saturday than she did explaining her new sponsor.
That would be Boudreaux's Butt Paste, a budding diaper-rash product well-known in Louisiana, and Crosby swears by the stuff.
"Everyone on my crew has been using it because it's been so hot this week," she told The Associated Press before the race. "It prevents chafing and acne.
"It's good for poison oak, poison ivy, poison whatever. It will clear up anything."
Well, not anything.
"Except engine trouble," noted Jim Hodges of the Newport News (Va.) Daily Press, "which took Crosby out of the race on the 42nd lap."
Pass the O.J.
In "this week's sign of the apocalypse," Sports Illustrated reports, O.J. Simpson has been invited to coach in a high-school all-star football game sponsored by the Florida-based Athlete Recruiting Service.
Said NBC's Jay Leno: "Just when it looks like California is going to take the title for the dumbest state in the union, Florida turns it around and snatches it back."
No canned answers
Still no explanation from that souvenir-seeking Phillies fan charged with stealing a Veterans Stadium toilet seat.
Her lawyer, we're guessing, told her to put a lid on it.
Tide? It's rollin', baby
Just hours after his Alabama football team lost in double overtime to Arkansas on Saturday, Crimson Tide coach Mike Shula's wife, Shari, was induced and gave birth to the couple's second child, a daughter.
As Shula told the Birmingham News: "She was one person I coached up pretty well to do her job on game day."
Otherwise, Shula is reserving further comment until he's reviewed both sets of game films.
They said it
He knows the ropes
Venezuelan Henry Ayala, 22, smashed two rope-skipping world records yesterday, performing 1,005 consecutive skips and 211 in one minute, England's Press Association reported.
Your middle-schooler could do that, you say? Well, Ayala did his on a high wire -- 26 feet above the center ring -- at a circus in Bristol.
And, just to clear up any misconception that Ayala once dropped out of school to join the big top: He merely skipped a few grades.

Tax Forms 101: What Forms Do I Need to Submit My Tax Return
3 min read •
30 sec brief
If you have yet to complete your 2019 tax return, you still have time as the deadline has been extended to July 15, 2020. If you're getting ready to file, here are some of the forms you'll need to file your return correctly.
Filing your tax return is a rite of passage that can seem daunting given all the rules and regulations. Deep breath. Using tax-prep software is a budget-friendly way to streamline the tax filing process that handles all the hard work, such as guiding you on all the forms you need to submit.
The tax prep software will ask you a bunch questions about your financial life that cover both the income you earned, and the tax deductions you may be eligible to claim and tells you which tax documents you should have received from employers, investment account providers, and the firms processing any loans.
The program will walk you through inputting all the right data and then in the background will do all the necessary numbers crunching to spit out a finished tax return that includes all the supporting tax forms to file your tax return.
For instance, if you contributed to a Health Savings Account (HSA) last year you’ll want to file IRS Tax Form 8889, which enables you to claim contributions you made to your HSA during the year as a tax deduction. It’s also the form where you report any distributions (withdrawals) you made from your HSA.
The deadline for filing your federal tax return is typically April 15th of the following year. Due to the coronavirus crisis, the deadline to file 2019 tax-year returns has been extended to July 15, 2020. (Lively’s Covid-19 Guide provides updates on regulatory changes impacting HSAs.)
Here are common tax forms you will use to complete your taxes, and the forms that you will submit when you file your taxes:
This is the big kahuna tax form that constitutes your federal tax-return. All other forms are included as supporting documents for your 1040. There is a short-form called 1040-EZ, but if you intend to claim tax breaks such as the HSA contribution income deduction, you will need to file the standard 1040 form.
Income documents to help complete your 1040:
- Form W-2: Provided by an employer if you are on staff. This reports what your employer told the IRS you received in income during the year, and the taxes you paid.
- Form 1099-MISC: If you are self-employed, this document is sent to you by your clients reporting the income they paid you. When preparing your return, you will enter income from each client separately.
- Form 1099-G: If you received unemployment payments or a state-tax refund, it will be reported on this form.
- 1099-DIV or 1099-INT: If you have a regular taxable investment account or savings account, you may receive either of these forms. The 1099-DIV reports any taxable dividend income or capital gains income on your account. If you earned or paid interest during the year you will receive a 1099-INT for each account.
Forms you need to claim valuable income tax deductions on your 1040:
- Form 1098-E. If you made any payments on federal student loans, you may be eligible to deduct a portion of the interest you paid. Your student-loan servicer should send you a Form 1098-E if your interest payments were at least $600. If you paid any college tuition or related fees during the year you may be eligible for tax credits based on Form 1098-T your school will provide.
- Form 8889. This form documents your contributions to an HSA, which are tax deductible.
- Form 5498. If you contributed to an Individual Retirement Account (IRA) the provider will file this form with the IRS and send you a copy. If you contributed to a Traditional IRA or a SEP-IRA (for self-employed workers) you may be able to claim a tax deduction.

Hell on Wheels Season 3 gets underway at 9/8c on August 10.
Yes, folks, that's a Saturday night.
And AMC has released a new promotional poster (first published on The Huffington Post) that hypes this time slot shift and warns viewers: Cullen Bohannon is a outlaw in charge. And he's about to raise Hell.
Look for Season 3 to be set in 1867, the third year of building the transcontinental railroad. Anson Mount's Bohannon will be leading Union Pacific against Central Pacific Railroad in what is sure to be a bloody, messy battle.
Will you be tuning in on Saturday evenings for it?

My first encounter with Gundam was as a child, in my cousin’s room, admiring his gunpla collection. Years later, I watched my first Gundam anime: Gundam Wing. Yes, I know, but it was amazing when I was 12 because it was Gundam. Ditto for my second Gundam anime, Gundam SEED, which was my introduction to the world of fansubs. It was at this time that I learned that Gundam was a serious series about how bad war was and the human propensity for conflict. And over the last few years, I dug up the UC shows and OVAs and faithfully followed the new shows that arrived. And then I watched Gundam Build Fighters because it was Gundam and it was just what I had to do, even though it was going to suck. Well, what it did instead was suck out everything I’d learned about Gundam over the past decade and brought me back to the foundation of my Gundam fandom: plastic robots are awesome.

Moto Guzzi 1933 P175 174cc 1 cyl ohv 2801
The roots of the Moto Guzzi factory can be traced back to 1918, when the Italian Air Force pilots Giovanni Ravelli and Giorgio Parodi, together with their mechanic Carlo Guzzi used to spend their off-duty time talking motorcycle technology and finally decided to start their own factory.
Unfortunately, Ravelli died in a plane crash shortly after the armistice in 1918, so he never saw the first machine based on Carlo Guzzi's plans that was built in 1919.
To commemorate Ravelli, it was decided to use the eagle of Ravelli's flying unit as the logo of the new factory.
Officially, the Moto Guzzi factory was started in 1921.
The first model of the factory was the 500 cc single-cylinder Tipo Normale.
The main features of this engine - horizontal cylinder, magneto located on top of the engine and an external flywheel - could still be seen in the last single-cylinder Guzzis, the Nuovo Falcones of 1976.
Up to the early thirties the factory concentrated on the 500 cc class.
But to reach more customers it was important to diversify and this was done by bringing out machines in the 250 cc and 175 cc classes.
The first 175 cc was the P 175 that was brought out in 1932.
The model pioneered several new features that would eventually find their way in the 500 cc production models, in particular the overhead valve configuration.
The cylinder head design was advanced, the two 32 mm valves having a narrow 62-degree included angle.
The model was designed to fit into the economical taxation class for lightweight motorcycles, the "motoleggere" and it stayed in production till 1937.
The 59 x 63.7 engine delivers 7 hp @ 5,000 rpm with a compression ratio of 6:1.
The machine weighs a mere 115 kg and the top speed is 90 km/h.
This excellently restored machine is fitted with Miller dynamo and Bosch claxon.

Back in the bad old days, before the Clean Water Act had a chance to do much good, the Cuyahoga River where it runs through Cleveland was so polluted it periodically caught on fire.
The Cleveland Fire Department declared the river an official fire hazard. One wonders what the firemen used to put the river out when it burned. Water? Probably not a good idea.
One of my favorite musicians, Randy Newman, wrote a song about the Cuyahoga called “Burn On.” The chorus goes like this, “Now the Lord can make you tumble / And the Lord can make you turn / And the Lord can make you overflow / But the Lord can’t make you burn/ Burn on, big river, burn on.”
Nowadays, thanks to effective environmental regulation, the Cuyahoga is clean. But if the Cuyahoga no longer burns, other water does — drinking water near fracking sites. Turn on kitchen faucets in places that are at the epicenter of the fracking frenzy — Colorado, say, or Pennsylvania — light a match, and the tap water bursts into flame.
Not the water exactly — rather, the methane gas in the water. Methane gas that many believe was put there by fracking. You can take a tour of flaming faucets near fracking sites on YouTube at youtube.com/watch?v=Xg4VNGFP6qE.
As an environmental lawyer, what I find especially disturbing is that all this burning water likely derives from an exemption Congress put into the Safe Drinking Water Act at the urging of then-Vice President Dick Cheney, a former CEO of gas driller Halliburton. Halliburton, Cheney’s former firm, patented hydraulic fracturing in the 1940s, and remains one of the three largest manufacturers of fracturing fluids. Halliburton staff were actively involved in review of a 2004 Environmental Protection Agency report that was a basis for Congressional regulatory action on fracking in 2005.

In addition to world-class entertainment, MGM Grand is always looking for low-cost events to boost social engagement. So we used Vegas’s reputation for spontaneous weddings to stage an April Fools’ Day prank like no other.
Upon check-in, guests were given printed invitations to visit MGM Grand’s on-site chapel “Forever Grand” to play the ultimate April Fools’ prank on their friends and family. We supplied everything they needed to stage fake weddings - even a spouse. Interior signage encouraged participants to check-in and use our hashtag when sharing the news of their “nuptials” so that we could track our results.
Describe what you are looking to do and we’ll follow up with you.

[en] Phosphorus-containing dendrimers are defined as dendrimers having at least one phosphorus atom at each branching point. In this review, we will show how phosphorhydrazone dendrimers can be modified at will at the level of the core and of the branches, to afford specific properties, such as fluorescence to image biological events. Accelerated methods of synthesis of phosphorus (one step for one generation) will be also displayed, as well as the specific reactivity of P=N–P=S linkages obtained in most of these accelerated method of synthesis, which has led to particularly original dendritic architectures, such as dendrons included in dendrimers. Finally, we will display how modifications of the internal structure of a series of dendrimers having the same type and number of terminal functions can deeply modify their biological anti-inflammatory properties. Among the six critical nanoscale design parameters (CNDP), we will show how two of them, i.e., architecture and elemental composition, have been particularly engineered to modify phosphorus-containing dendrimers, in order to fulfill the desired properties.
[en] The authors report a new measurement of the decay (Omega)- → Ξ- π+π- with 76 events and a first observation of the decay (bar (Omega))+ → (bar Ξ)+ π+π- with 24 events, yielding a combined branching ratio (3.74-0.56+0.67) x 10-4. This represents a factor 25 increase in statistics over the best previous measurement. No evidence is seen for CP violation, with Β((Omega)- → Ξ- π+π-) = 4.04-0.71+0.83 x 10-4 and Β((bar (Omega))+ → (bar Ξ)+ π+π-) = 3.15-0.89+1.12 x 10-4. Contrary to theoretical expectation, they see little evidence for the decays (Omega)- → Ξ*15300 π- and (bar (Omega))+ → (bar Ξ)*15300 π+ and place a 90% C.L. upper limit on the combined branching ratio Β((Omega)-((bar (Omega))+) → Ξ*15300 ((bar Ξ)*15300)π#-+#) < 7.0 x 10-5.
[en] We discuss the N A 62 experiment which aims at the search for phenomena beyond the Standard Model (S M) by measuring the ratio RK = Γ(K± → e±ν(γ))/Γ(K± → μ±ν(γ)) and the ultra rare decay K+ → π+ νν. First, we summarize the status of the RK analysis, based on ∼ 40 % of the 2007-2008 N A 62 data set, then, we describe the N A 62 proposal to measure the branching ratio of the very rare decay K+ → π+ νν and we give an update on the status of the detectors needed to perform the measurement.
[en] A laser beam introduced into a simple soap film unexpectedly breaks out into thin (micron-thick) branching channels which keep unspread (without divergence) sometimes for as long as tens of centimeters as they go along the film. The physical interpretation and possible applications of the phenomenon are discussed in this paper. (methodological notes)
[en] The MEG collaboration searches for the μ → eγ decay at the muon beam line πE5 of the Paul Scherrer Institut in Switzerland. The world best upper limit has been set to be B(μ → eγ) < 5.7 10-13 at 90 % C.L. analyzing a data set of 3.6 1014 stopped muons on target. An upgrade program of the detector (MEG-II) should lead to a sensitivity at a level of few 10-14 within the next 5 years. (author)
[en] Splint of root system of simple Lie algebra appears naturally in the study of (regular) embeddings of reductive subalgebras. It can be used to derive branching rules. Application of splint properties drastically simplifies calculations of branching coefficients. We study affine extension of splint root system of simple Lie algebra and obtain relations on theta and branching functions.
[en] Separate measurements of the Bu and Bd semileptonic branching fractions have been made using 1.4 fb-1 of data taken with the CLEO-II detector at the Υ(4S) resonance. A new technique is utilized in which a bar B meson is exclusively reconstructed in order to tag the charge and flavor. Approximately 2000 fully reconstructed candidates are found in the data sample. Since the Υ(4S) decays to B bar B, the tracks from the B meson can then be examined for lepton content. The efficiency corrected ratio of the number of leptons and the number of tags determines the semileptonic branching fractions. This method allows for the first separate measurement of the charged B meson semileptonic branching ratio in contrast to other techniques which measure the flavor averaged branching fractions. Assuming that the partial semileptonic decay widths of the charged and neutral B's are equal, the lifetime ratio can be measured from the ratio of semileptonic branching fractions. Since the flavor is explicitly tagged, no assumptions concerning the product fractions of the Bu and Bd (f+- and f00) are used, unlike results of past Υ(4S) experiments. Hence, with the exception of the partial semileptonic width equality, the only assumption used is that of the shape of the direct lepton (B → ell X) momentum spectrum in efficiency determination. Theoretical dependence is thus kept at a minimum. The measured results for the branching fractions and lifetime ratio are: B(B+ → X ell +ν) = (13.0 ± 1.8 ± 1.6)%; B(B0 → X ell +ν) = (14.5 ± 2.1 ± 1.9)%; τ(B0)/τ(B+) = 0.90 ± 0.18 ± 0.12

I am having a problem with getting accurate representations of floats in flonum.
myPI = Math.PI; then I send
myPI.toFixed(10); to the Max Window, and send
parseFloat(myPI); to another outlet patched to a flonum.
The Max Window shows 3.1415926536;
The flonum shows 3.1415927410 (while in the flonum inspector decimals are set to 10);
I can’t get the flonum to show anything better than 6 decimals.
In the flonum help window it says "Clicking in the Float Display Correction checkbox in the Interface pane of the Max Preferences Window will make the Max application round numbers and truncates them at what it guesses is the least significant digit."
But whether I check or uncheck that checkbox has no influence on the behavior of the flonum object. It only influences the behavior of message boxes (on my system anyhow):
Mac OS X 10.6.4
MacBook Pro Intel
Is it supposed to be like that, or am I doing something wrong? I mean in the flonum inspector I can set the decimals to more than six. Is it really only supposed to work correctly for up to six decimals?

The Golden State Warriors and Oklahoma City Thunder will help usher in Thanksgiving with a clash at Oracle Arena on Wednesday night.
The Warriors have their homecoming after four games on the road but are at risk of recording their worst losing streak since March 2013. The recent tour to Texas was not a success, and coach Steve Kerr missed the injured pair of Steph Curry and Draymond Green as they went 0-3 against the Houston Rockets (86-107), Dallas Mavericks (109-112), and San Antonio Spurs (92-104).
That four-defeat run across February-March 2013 was also the last time Golden State lost three road games or more in a row, but they’ll stand a better chance of returning to winning ways at the Oracle.
The in-form Thunder will be no easy task to take down after winning 10 of their last 12, although they are coming off the back of a 117-113 road loss to the Sacramento Kings.
Sign up for a free trial with fuboTV to tune into Wednesday’s clash between two NBA rivals.
When: Wednesday, November 21
Where: Oracle Arena, Oakland, California
Time: 10:30PM ET
TV: Fox Sports Oklahoma, NBC Sports Bay Area
It’s good news for the Warriors that Green is rumored for a possible return as they begin a four-game home stretch. The bad news is Curry’s groin will keep him out, and 10-year OKC veteran Russell Westbrook comes to California in firing form.
Westbrook, 30, missed the opening-night defeat to Golden State when Curry led the Warriors to a 108-100 win with 32 points and nine assists. Now, the shoe is on the other foot, and the Thunder’s talisman will attempt to take his side to a 9-2 record in November.
Klay Thompson has also played an important role propping up the Warriors of late, but Durant has been the stats leader and finished their past six games as highest scorer on the team—he’s averaged 28 points per game in that span. Alas, the last three of those results have been losses, and individual merits count for little in the grand scheme.
Westbrook and Paul George threaten to exploit a Warriors side that’s lacked its two technical titans in Curry and Green, which would condemn the hosts to their worst regular-season run in almost six years.
fuboTV is proud to offer NBA fans the best access to their favorite teams, including games on TNT, NBA TV, and nearly every regional sports network such as NBC Sports Bay Area for Warriors games and FOX Sports Oklahoma for Thunder games.

Today’s French Find Friday product is not a beauty product, but I recently discovered it on Instagram and ordered it right away. If you have been following me for some time, you know I have a small Marie Antoinette obsession. I can’t explain why really, but I just do. I have since sixth grade when I did my History report on her.
Nina’s of Paris was founded in 1672 by Pierre Diaz. Originally, the company was a distillery who supplied luxury fragrances to the court of Versailles including to King Louis XIV as well as Marie Antoinette. Diaz named the company after his great-grand daughter who later changed the company over to a tea and patisserie company.
Today, Nina’s Parisian Boutique and Salon sit next to La Place Vendome. Nina’s has an exclusive relationship with Versailles in order to use the ingredients for the Marie Antoinette Tea. The black tea base is brightened with rose petals and apples hand picked from the King’s Garden at Versailles. It is a unique and delicate blend that was a favorite of Marie Antoinette’s.
The tea comes in this beautiful pink tin for storing that has Marie Antoinette’s personal insignia on the top. Nina’s also sells other teas, tea ware and gifts.
I’m not usually a fan of black teas, but I rather enjoyed this one. It is very light depending on how long you let it steep. The rose and apple flavors are very unique and add something special to the tea. I’m not much of a tea drinker regularly, but I like this for a special time where I want to sit and relax and sip a little tea.
I will definitely add a stop to Nina’s Paris on my trip when we go. And I love the history that comes with a cup of Nina’s Marie Antoinette tea.

An Excerpt fromThe Watsons Go to Birmingham--1963: 25th Anniversary Edition
And You Wonder Why We Get Called the Weird Watsons
It was one of those super-duper-cold Saturdays. One of those days that when you breathed out your breath kind of hung frozen in the air like a hunk of smoke and you could walk along and look exactly like a train blowing out big, fat, white puffs of smoke.
It was so cold that if you were stupid enough to go outside your eyes would automatically blink a thousand times all by themselves, probably so the juice inside of them wouldn't freeze up. It was so cold that if you spit, the slob would be an ice cube before it hit the ground. It was about a zillion degrees below zero.
It was even cold inside our house. We put sweaters and hats and scarves and three pairs of socks on and still were cold. The thermostat was turned all the way up and the furnace was banging and sounding like it was about to blow up but it still felt like Jack Frost had moved in with us.
All of my family sat real close together on the couch under a blanket. Dad said this would generate a little heat but he didn't have to tell us this, it seemed like the cold automatically made us want to get together and huddle up. My little sister, Joetta, sat in the middle and all you could see were her eyes because she had a scarf wrapped around her head. I was next to her and on the outside was my mother.
Momma was the only one who wasn't born in Flint so the cold was coldest to her. All you could see were her eyes too, and they were shooting bad looks at Dad. She always blamed him for bringing her all the way from Alabama to Michigan, a state she called a giant icebox. Dad was bundled next to Joey, trying to look at anything but Momma. Next to Dad, sitting with a little space between them, was my older brother, Byron.
Byron had just turned thirteen so he was officially a teenage juvenile delinquent and didn't think it was "cool" to touch anybody or let anybody touch him, even if it meant he froze to death. Byron had tucked the blanket between him and Dad down into the cushion of the couch to make sure he couldn't be touched.
Dad turned on the TV to try to make us forget how cold we were but all that did was get him in trouble. There was a special news report on Channel 12 telling how bad the weather was and Dad groaned when the guy said, "If you think it's cold now, wait until tonight, the temperature is expected to drop into record-low territory, possibly reaching the negative twenties! In fact, we won't be seeing anything above zero for the next four to five days!" He was smiling when he said this but none of the Watson family thought it was funny. We all looked over at Dad. He just shook his head and pulled the blanket over his eyes.
Then the guy on the TV said, "Here's a little something we can use to brighten our spirits and give us some hope for the future: The temperature in Atlanta, Georgia is forecast to reach . . ." Dad coughed real loud and jumped off the couch to turn the TV off but we all heard the weatherman say, ". . . the mid-seventies!" The guy might as well have tied Dad to a tree and said, "Ready, aim, fire!"
"Atlanta!" Momma said. "That's a hundred and fifty miles from home!"
"Wilona . . . ," Dad said.
"I knew it," Momma said. "I knew I should have listened to Moses Henderson!"
"Who?" I asked.
Dad said, "Oh Lord, not that sorry story. You've got to let me tell about what happened with him."
Momma said, "There's not a whole lot to tell, just a story about a young girl who made a bad choice. But if you do tell it, make sure you get all the facts right."
We all huddled as close as we could get because we knew Dad was going to try to make us forget about being cold by cutting up. Me and Joey started smiling right away, and Byron tried to look cool and bored.
"Kids," Dad said, "I almost wasn't your father. You guys came real close to having a clown for a daddy named Hambone Henderson. . . ."
"Daniel Watson, you stop right there. You're the one who started that 'Hambone' nonsense. Before you started that everyone called him his Christian name, Moses. And he was a respectable boy too, he wasn't a clown at all."
"But the name stuck didn't it? Hambone Henderson. Me and your granddaddy called him that because the boy had a head shaped like a hambone, had more knots and bumps on his head than a dinosaur. So as you guys sit here giving me these dirty looks because it's a little chilly outside ask yourselves if you'd rather be a little cold or go through life being known as the Hambonettes."
Me and Joey cracked up, Byron kind of chuckled and Momma put her hand over her mouth. She did this whenever she was going to give a smile because she had a great big gap between her front teeth. If Momma thought something was funny, first you'd see her trying to keep her lips together to hide the gap, then, if the smile got to be too strong, you'd see the gap for a hot second before Momma's hand would come up to cover it, then she'd crack up too.
Laughing only encouraged Dad to cut up more, so when he saw the whole family thinking he was funny he really started putting on a show.
He stood up in front of the TV. "Yup, Hambone Henderson proposed to your mother around the same time I did. Fought dirty too, told your momma a pack of lies about me and when she didn't believe them he told her a pack of lies about Flint."
Dad started talking Southern-style, imitating this Hambone guy. "Wilona, I heard tell about the weather up that far north in Flint, Mitch-again, heard it's colder than inside an icebox. Seen a movie about it, think it was made in Flint. Movie called Nanook of the North. Yup, do believe for sure it was made in Flint. Uh-huh, Flint, Mitch-again."
"Folks there live in these things called igloos. According to what I seen in this here movie most folks in Flint is Chinese. Don't believe I seem nan one colored person in the whole dang city. You a 'Bama gal, don't believe you'd be too happy living in no igloo. Ain't got nothing against 'em, but don't believe you'd be too happy living 'mongst a whole slew of Chinese folks. Don't believe you'd like the food. Only thing them Chinese folks in that movie et was whales and seals. Don't believe you'd like no whale meat. Don't taste a lick like chicken. Don't taste like pork at all."
Momma pulled her hand away from her mouth. "Daniel Watson, you are one lying man! Only thing you said that was true was that being in Flint is like living in an igloo. I knew I should have listened to Moses. Maybe these babies mighta been born with lumpy heads but at least they'da had warm lumpy heads!
"You know Birmingham is a good place, and I don't mean the weather either. The life is slower, the people are friendlier--"
"Oh yeah," Dad interrupted, "they're a laugh a minute down there. Let's see, where was that 'Coloreds Only' bathroom downtown?"
"Daniel, you know what I mean, things aren't perfect but people are more honest about the way they feel"--she took her mean eyes off Dad and put them on Byron--"and folks there do know how to respect their parents."
Byron rolled his eyes like he didn't care. All he did was tuck the blanket farther into the couch's cushion.
Dad didn't like the direction the conversation was going so he called the landlord for the hundredth time. The phone was still busy.
"That snake in the grass has got his phone off the hook. Well, it's going to be too cold to stay here tonight, let me call Cydney. She just had that new furnace put in, maybe we can spend the night there." Aunt Cydney was kind of mean but her house was always warm so we kept our fingers crossed that she was home.
Everyone, even Byron, cheered when Dad got Aunt Cydney and she told us to hurry over before we froze to death.
Dad went out to try and get the Brown Bomber started. That was what we called our car. It was a 1948 Plymouth that was dull brown and real big, Byron said it was turd brown. Uncle Bud gave it to Dad when it was thirteen years old and we'd had it for two years. Me and Dad took real good care of it but some of the time it didn't like to start up in the winter.
After five minutes Dad came back in huffing and puffing and slapping his arms across his chest.
"Well, it was touch and go for a while, but the Great Brown One pulled through again!" Everyone cheered, but me and Byron quit cheering and started frowning right away. By the way Dad smiled at us we knew what was coming next. Dad pulled two ice scrapers out of his pocket and said, "O.K., boys, let's get out there and knock those windows out."
We moaned and groaned and put some more coats on and went outside to scrape the car's windows. I could tell by the way he was pouting that Byron was going to try and get out of doing his share of he work.
"I'm not going to do your part, Byron, you'd better do it and I'm not playing either."
"Shut up, punk."
I went over to the Brown Bomber's passenger side and started hacking away at the scab of ice that was all over the windows. I finished Momma's window and took a break. Scraping ice off of windows when it's that cold can kill you!
I didn't hear any sound coming from the other side of the car so I yelled out, "I'm serious, Byron, I'm not doing that side too, and I'm only going to do half the windshield, I don't care what you do to me." The windshield on the Bomber wasn't like the new 1963 cars, it had a big bar running down the middle of it, dividing it in half.
"Shut your stupid mouth, I got something more important to do right now."
I peeked around the back of the car to see what By was up to. The only thing he'd scraped off was the outside mirror and he was bending down to look at himself in it. He saw me and said, "You know what, square? I must be adopted, there just ain't no way two folks as ugly as your momma and daddy coulda give birth to someone as sharp as me!"
He was running his hands over his head like he was brushing his hair.
I said, "Forget you," and went back over to the other side of the car to finish the back window. I had half of the ice off when I had to stop again and catch my breath. I heard Byron mumble my name.
I said, "You think I'm stupid? It's not going to work this time." He mumbled my name again. It sounded like his mouth was full of something. I knew this was a trick, I knew this was going to be How to Survive a Blizzard, Part Two.
How to Survive a Blizzard, Part One had been last night when I was outside playing in the snow and Byron and his running buddy, Buphead, came walking by. Buphead has officially been a juvenile delinquent even longer than Byron.
"Say, kid," By had said, "you wanna learn somethin' that might save your stupid life one day?"
I should have known better, but I was bored and I think maybe the cold weather was making my brain slow, so I said, "What's that?"
"We gonna teach you how to survive a blizzard."
Byron put his hands in front of his face and said "This is the most important thing to remember, O.K.?"
"Well, first we gotta show you what it feels like to be trapped in a blizzard. You ready?" He whispered something to Buphead and they both laughed.
I should have known that the only reason Buphead and By would want to play with me was to do something mean.
"O.K.," By said, "first thing you gotta worry about is high winds."
Byron and Buphead each grabbed one of my arms and one of my legs and swung me between them going, "Woo, blizzard warnings! Blizzard warnings! Wooo! Take cover!"
Buphead counted to three and on the third swing they let me go in the air. I landed headfirst in a snowbank.
But that was O.K. because I had on three coats, two sweaters, a T-shirt, three pairs of pants and four socks along with a scarf, a hat and a hood. These guys couldn't have hurt me if they'd thrown me off the Empire State Building!'
After I climbed out of the snowbank they started laughing and so did I.
"Cool, Baby Bruh," By said, "you passed that part of the test with a B-plus, what you think, Buphead?"
Buphead said, "Yeah, I'd give the little punk a A."
They whispered some more and started laughing again.
"O.K.," By said, "second thing you gotta learn is how to keep your balance in a high wind. You gotta be good at this so you don't get blowed into no polar bear dens."
They put me in between them and started making me spin round and round, it seemed like they spun me for about half an hour. When slob started flying out of my mouth they let me stop and I wobbled around for a while before they pushed me back in the same snow-bank.
When everything stopped going in circles I got up and we all laughed again.
They whispered some more and then By said, "What you think, Buphead? He kept his balance a good long time, I'm gonna give him a A-minus."
"I ain't as hard a grader as you, I'ma give the little punk a double A-minus."
"O.K., Kenny now the last part of Surviving a Blizzard, you ready?"
"You passed the wind test and did real good on the balance test but now we gotta see if you ready to graduate. You remember what we told you was the most important part about survivin'?"
"O.K., here we go. Buphead, tell him 'bout the final exam."

That is an eight percent drop in viewership from the prior week's game when the Atlanta Falcons beat the Green Bay Packers, and a 10 percent drop from early numbers for last year's equivalent Sunday night game during the third week.
For whatever reasons people choose to attribute to the NFL's ratings stumble, now more than a year old and something that will surely continue this season, it is not a problem that can really be diagnosed over a single weekend - let alone one game. Fox "addressed the subject in the same manner as its competitors", beginning their show with a "quick preview of the upcoming Week 3 games before heading immediately into Trump's comments (they did bleep the word "bitch") and statements and tweets from National Football League executives and players". CBS' later game drew a 13.8, down 1% from past year. Did MORE people tune in because of the protests? Amid cheers and boos from fans at FedEx Field in Maryland last night, the third week of the SNF season declined 10% from early numbers of the comparable game of past year on September 25, 2016.
For football fans, though, chances are they were attracted by better games. Standing with locked arms is good, kneeling is not acceptable. Jerry Jones, Cowboys take a knee before National AnthemOther people we spoke with disagreed, saying the keeling protest is not in disrespect for the American flag, but about something else. "That's part of what makes America great".Читайте также: Trump just dropped a new travel ban - here is what's in it
For now, the NFL's broadcast partners are not seeing the same audience boost that other media outlets, from CNN to the New York Times, witnessed after Trump criticized them.
The NFL said Monday it hadn't seen any business impact - positive or negative - in the aftermath of the president's comments. That may be partly due to the fact the National Football League isn't doing investigative journalism about the Trump administration or because of the diverse political makeup of National Football League fans.При любом использовании материалов сайта и дочерних проектов, гиперссылка на обязательна.

In the world of technology interaction is now easier than ever. The world has shrunk from a large populated land to a system of interacting individuals residing in a global village. Folks from all over the globe attended deeper together and ranges have lowered to the extent that the individual is merely a click away.
In that ever-growing system of people a fresh idea has surfaced, the thought of 6 degrees of separation. The concept behind that is that between you and any another person on the planet is just a chain no longer than six people. This emphasizes the significance of on the web interaction and just how it’s created the world a whole lot smaller.
This is the power of social media and the developments in on the web communication. A occurring in one single the main world reaches to the next portion in a matter of seconds.

The project was conducted by Alister Gomes-Pinto, Ruta Kuzminskyte, Katie Wooding, Katherine Asplin and Liz Ewins of Avon and Wiltshire Mental Health Partnership NHS Trust.
PDSA cycles 1 and 2 involved publishing an article in the hospital newsletter and sending an email to staff detailing contacts, hours of working, and referral criteria.
PDSA cycle 3 involved attending ward rounds on the MAU. Laminated pocket cue cards setting out the online referral process, working hours and contact details of the liaison team were handed out.
For each of the three PDSA cycles, quantitative data was collected on speed of referral completion and ease of locating the referral form on the hospital computer system. Qualitative data on staff satisfaction was collected before and after each cycle.

Lighting the Way
With the advent of new and better medications, the AIDS crisis in America has become a backburner issue. But while Americans have become somewhat numb to it, the disease has reached pandemic proportions in other parts of the world—particularly in developing countries.
Experts from health, government and public policy institutions worldwide are warning of dire consequences if the disease isn’t brought under control soon. Many people—including several Xavier professors, program directors and students—are in their own unique ways working to address the crisis. Whether caring for victims of the disease, researching best prevention methods or addressing the myriad ethical issues it poses, Xavier people are weighing in on the subject with care and compassion. Here are some of their stories:
The Students Katie Cole comes over a rise in the landscape with her new group of young friends, all dressed in their orange soccer uniforms. They chatter and kick the dust as they walk, heading toward home. In the distance, a sea of tin roofs—wavy, corrugated, cast-off and rusted—masks the shelters beneath. This is where they live—tiny huts with dirt for floors and open-air windows, no water, little power, narrow lanes between. But out of the rough canvas that is the Kibera slum rises a structure—a swath of blue—that is the St. Aloysius Gonzaga Secondary School. The school is the first high school in the world exclusively for AIDS orphans, and it’s a place where Cole looks into these children’s eyes and sees happiness and hope. There are so many reasons to despair: the boy who lives with seven siblings in two rooms; the girl who lives with an aunt after losing both parents to AIDS; the boy whose father died of AIDS and whose stepmother, with nine children already, kicked him out.
But Cole, a Brueggeman Fellow who spent six weeks last summer at St. Aloysius in Nairobi, Kenya, as part of a fellowship that focused on the education of AIDS orphans, learns from these students that what’s important are the relationships between people who are here today, regardless of their surroundings—or their past.
“The people here are so alive, and everything is so beautiful to them,” she says. “How can you not feel that and feed off of it?” From the night of her arrival, when she discovered the glowing crucifix on the wall of her room, to her work crafting a functioning library out of a dark, dirty school room with fellow Brueggeman intern Kristi Horstman, Cole found reason to celebrate in the midst of one of the poorest, saddest places on Earth.
Why? Because, she says, a student cared enough to invite her across a filthy creek and into his parentless home, where they crowded together on a broken-down couch with what remained of his family.
“Seven people lived in those two rooms and took turns sleeping at night because there was not enough room for all to lie down on two small beds. He was 15 and these were his brothers and sisters. There was a baby on one girl’s lap. But he didn’t seem embarrassed at all. It was just like he felt this was the right thing to do, to take a visitor to his house and have them meet the family,” she says. “I felt happy when I left that I had been invited in because I felt it was a sign of trust.” Cole learned about these students through an assignment in which she gave each student a disposable camera and asked them to take pictures of their homes and families and write short pieces about themselves. Cole graduated from Xavier last spring and is turning those stories into a book, financed by the Brueggeman center for dialogue.
The same transformation happened to Horstman. On her first day, she befriended a girl who lost both parents to AIDS and walks an hour to school from her aunt’s home. The day Horstman left, the girl handed her a letter in which she wrote how she wants to continue her education in America. “She said I was so lucky to have both parents who love you and support you and are there for you.”
Horstman was so moved by her experience that she intends to study international relations at the U.S. International University in Nairobi instead of going to law school.

‘Paper Walk, Paper Talk XIII ‘ (Seethed Placid)
‘In this 13th instance of working with paper in a Live Performance situation, paper takes on its own task. It is only partly controlled, handled and governed through movement so consequently it follows its own potential to unfold in unmeasured time like self-referential layers of multiple meanings and directions. A change of perspective takes place. Layers can be speculated upon a symbolic connotation or a liberated material substance in relation to the body next to it, as well as being combined with the concrete function of providing a ‘simple’ surface.
There are certain surface qualities, which traditionally serve as the compositional foundation to communicate between poetic thoughts, illusions and the imagination. However the action itself rejects signs of narration and so dismisses the congruence of representation.
Lets see: Dampen the spirits of the placid flows within, conjures with the equanimous state of being.’
The Language of Cup
The understanding of the conventional object ‘cup’ is taken from a possible disposition, as it is travelling between the origin liquid to the destination of lips. It is seen as a vehicle between two states: the physical material object as it is transporting liquids between the pot and a person and the cup being used for drinking with the desire of satisfying the feeling of thirst.
The cup contains not only emptiness but holds the potential of being a functional carrier. The physical characteristics may be plastic or ceramics or metal. In its silver depiction it determines the winner and represents the trophy of a distinct competition. The cup as a chalice performs a religious ritual of sharing a communal sign in some instances the distribution of blood as in the legend of the holy grail. The word from its known-Spanish and known Portuguese origin refers to a vessel/cup used as a mortar and drinking device.
The cup, which holds the wind and the breath never fulfills its purpose and denies its conventional function. Though it maintains a fragility dispensed through the handling of it. One or more cups prevail a distant ambiguity as they withdraw from their known objective. The Performance is a reification and suggests the possible inability of taking the existential language as credible in its turn. Emphasis is given to the gap between description and structure to make the constituting language of existence and appearance somewhat congruent admitting the challenge of theoretical construct and heuristic fiction.
Perhaps the action accumulates in the transformation of the object/event to ‘analytic concept’ and opening the gap to restore a full referent status.
Glausnitzer (DE) examines several aspects of collecting objects, the recollection of past ideas and images, voice and autobiography by means of ‘Performance Art’ and ‘Performance for the Camera’. There is a process of understanding ‘Self’ as portraiture or as non-linear actions in space. Three-dimensional images reflect a temporary trueness to the artist’s enquiry, and inventive methods facilitate to re-position herself in the world of Life’s occurrences. Negotiations between being in the ‘now’ in the absence of image concurs with projections of data and material of planning.
Live Actions and exhibitions took place in the USA, Germany, UK, France, Scotland, Denmark, Austria, New Zealand, Cyprus, Finland. She has been part of the Month of Performance Art, MPA-B Berlin 2012, 2013, 2015 and presented Live Performances and Performance Art Workshops at 1st and 2nd Cyprus International Performance Art Festival 2013 and 2014, Live Performance Work with epitelesis – Performance Art Foundation in Athens 2014 at ArtWall Gallery and 2015 LAPSody Helsinki, International Performance Art Conference, TEAK with Live Performances, Lecture and Workshop Day, China 2015 Live Art Tour #2, Beijing, Tianjin, Shen Zhen, January 2016 Solo Exhibition and Live Performances Kunstfoerderverein Schoeningen, Exhibition and Live Performances at Parabiosis, Chongqing Museum of Contemporary Art, China, June 2016 facilitating Performance Art Workshops in Beijing and Tianjin, China.

Editor’s Note: Chris Jones is the radio voice of UConn baseball on WHUS-91.7 FM. He wrote this story after calling the game on Wednesday.
By Chris Jones
The University of Connecticut baseball team displayed one of the gutsiest and most complete performances of the 2013 season in a 3-2 victory in 12 innings over number-one seeded Louisville in the first round of the BIG EAST Championship on Wednesday night. The game contained clutch hitting, a stellar pitching performance and resilient effort from the Huskies.
“I couldn’t be more proud of the guys and how they performed tonight,” said UConn head coach Jim Penders. “You won’t believe me when I say this but even if we lost this game I would have been just as proud as I am right now.”
Penders had to watch the last few innings from the tunnel after getting tossed in the tenth inning after an LJ Mazzilli single resulted in Billy Ferriter being thrown out at third base.
“I just wanted to fight,” said Penders. “Unfortunately I went a little bit over the line but I wanted to fight, we can only make the NCAAs if we win this thing and I want to fight to the very end.”
Second-year assistant coaches Josh MacDonald and Jeff Hourigan coached the team through the final innings after Penders was gone.
“They knew exactly what we wanted to do those final innings and I don’t worry about handing things off to those guys,” said Penders. “They do a fantastic job and they helped us win tonight as they do every time out.”
The clutch moment in the game came in the top of the 12th inning when redshirt Billy Ferriter
came to the plate against All-BIG EAST First Team reliever Nick Burdi of Louisville. Ferriter, as he has done throughout his UConn career, delivered for the Huskies. Ferriter drove a 3-1 pitch into centerfield bringing in sophomore Eric Yavarone
to give UConn the 3-2 lead.
“I was looking fastball 3-1 and just jumped on it and fortunately was able to pick up a base hit,” said Ferriter. “We showed a lot of fight tonight and were able to pick up a big win but we still have work to do in order to win a championship.”
UConn would not have had a chance at winning the game in extra innings if not for the pitching performance from sophomore Carson Cross. His gutsy start was one of his best this season. Cross worked into the tenth inning and exited after Zak Wasserman lead off the inning with a single. The base hit snapped an impressive streak of 16-straight Cardinals retired dating back to the fourth inning. Cross gave up two runs in the first inning but responded with 8 scoreless innings.
Cross was very confident that the Huskies were going to win. “We knew we weren’t going to lose this game,” said Cross. “I just wanted to do my job and make sure that I kept throwing zeros and give us a chance to win the ballgame.”
The Huskies displayed one of their best small ball games with three bunts for base hits and three sacrifice bunts. Yavarone lead off the 12th inning with a bunt for a base hit and moved up on a sacrifice bunt by Stanley Paul which eventually led to the Ferriter game winning single.
The Huskies still have work to be done as they have to win the BIG EAST tournament to continue their season. Penders says the Huskies have to keep the same mentality as they continue on in the tournament.
“We have nothing to lose, we can only make the NCAA Tournament if we win this tournament, let’s play loose and keep up the intensity and focus that we showed tonight.” said Penders.

‘Psychic’ found body of murdered 11-year-old boy
LAKE FOREST, Calif. — A woman who found a missing 11-year-old boy’s body says she knew where to look after she had a “vision,” and police are not refuting her claim, according to KCAL.
Pam Ragland, who claims she has psychic ability, said she knew where to look for Terry Dewayne Smith, an autistic boy from California who went missing on Saturday.
Smith’s remains were found in a shallow grave on Thursday.
Smith’s 16-year-old half-brother, who was the last person to see him alive, has been arrested in the case.
“It’s actually giving me chills right now – I was like that’s the building I saw,” Ragland told KCAL. “I saw him like under a tree, kind of laying down – like he was sleeping. I saw the city was far away and there was a dirt road.”
Ragland joined searchers and, with the help of a firefighter, located Smith’s home and the boy’s body.
Police confirmed to KCAL Ragland found the body. Officers questioned her and released her.
According to KCAL, the coroner has not yet officially confirmed the remains found on the property belong to Terry Smith.

Become a CBN partner and receive the DVD Living Under God's Blessing. Discover the principles that lead to favor, wisdom, and being a part of God's plan
CBN Partners are making a difference sharing the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Find out how.
CBN.com The year was 1979. The Pittsburgh Pirates, uniformed in black and gold donned a blue collar attitude en route to the team’s 5th World Series title. It was electric! It was the year of Sister Sledge and "We Are Family."
Dale Shiffman’s dreams of playing big league ball didn’t quite pan out. But his career as a freelance photographer for the Pirates got him close to the action - and to the players.
"I used to literally run out on the field during batting practice, and play right field and shag fly balls. It was a dream come true -- just going down to the big league park and hanging out," says Dale.
Dale was living his dream. He wasn’t just working at the ball park. He was hanging with the guys. Life seemed great, but Dale wanted to be one of the guys. He never thought of dealing drugs until he was approached by some of the players. He was eager to oblige.
"It was one of those deals where they'd say, ‘Hey man can you get us some coke?’ So I just started checking around and before I knew it, things went from zero to 60 real quick."
Will Dawson: Did you do cocaine yourself?
Dale Shiffman: Oh yeah, I started slow just like the players. Cocaine is a drug that you want more and more -- and it came to … my whole life was about cocaine.
Soon, Dale wasn’t just supplying Pirates players, but several teams throughout the league.
Dawson: Was there anytime during that, that you were worried about going to jail?
Shiffman: From time to time it would pop into my head, but no. I was just having too much fun. I didn’t really think about the consequences.
But by 1985, word of alleged drug abuse around baseball had spread.The FBI began questioning players who pointed the finger at Dale.
He recalls a phone conversation with one of the guys: "He said, ‘I don’t know what you know or don’t know, but me and several of the other baseball players went in front of the grand jury,and I’m telling you flat out we gave you up. You might want to leave town.' 'I said, it’s the FBI -- It’s federal!' Where are we going to go?"
Dale was indicted on 111 counts. He pled guilty to 20 and was sentenced to 12 years in the federal penitentiary.
"When the FBI came to get me that was the worst day of my life, the darkest day of my life. The fact that, ‘Oh my goodness what am I going to do to my parents, the people that know me,’" remembers Dale. "I just felt so horrible. You know, 12 years is a long time."
Two days after Dale went to prison, he got a visit from the chaplain who invited him to a chapel service. It was a night that changed his life.
"This is going to sound weird, but I was sitting in the room with about 40 other inmates. And God spoke to me audibly."
"I was like, ‘Did you guys hear that?’ It was something along the lines of, ‘We’re all sinners, that we all need a Savior.’ I remember whispering under my own breath. I said, 'Lord, I plead guilty.' "
"When he [chaplain] gave the altar call, I remember pushing inmates out of the way. I made a b-line for the altar, and I said something along the lines of, ‘Old man, I’ve never heard anything like this before, but I’m not leaving this room until I got what you‘ve just been talking about. I want to ask Jesus Christ to save my soul.'"
Dawson: You were incarcerated?
Dawson: Did you feel like you had been set free?
Shiffman: Absolutely! It was a 40 pound weight lifted off my back. I knew once that sin was gone, I was a new man!
Dale was set free from his drug addiction and filled with a new hope. He only served two years of his 12 year sentence. Today he’s married and has three boys of his own. Dale is happy to pass along his love of baseball to his sons, but more importantly he shares his love for Christ with them. And he wants to extend that message of hope to others.
"It doesn’t matter who you are, what you’ve done. Jesus Christ can wipe the slate clean. That’s the Gospel message. Some people I’ve witnessed to over the years will say, ‘You don’t know what I’ve done,’ and I say it really doesn’t matter. Jesus Christ when He died, He paid for it all. That would be the message I would say ... that Jesus saves, and He saves completely. Nothing surprises God."
A caring friend will be there to pray with you in your time of need.

Best posts of 2016
It has been a great 2016 in terms of blogging, though I have had about 60 less posts this year compared to the last two years. I do have some posts this year that are my favourites, and this is just a quick post to share them!
- Reflections on your survey feedback – I sent out a reader survey in late 2015, and this post sums up the feedback I received and also let me reflect on my blog a little.
- Deal with email effectively – How I keep on top of my email inbox. I think many people appreciated the tips!
- Women don’t think they’re better than anyone. They just want to be respected – I wrote this post for International Women’s Day, to show people that women don’t want to be credited for their appearance, gender, or for doing better than a man. We are not competitive, we just want to be acknowledged for our skills. I feel very strongly about how women are treated in the tech industry, and that’s why I wrote this post.
- So I got my arm stuck in an elevator door today – Basically what it says on the tin. :P
- Workplaces need to be more than just physically safe – When we work, we want to feel safe from abuse, not just from typical safety regulations around furniture and the environment we work in.
- I said yes! 💍 – Nicholas proposed to me and I said yes :)
- Our Europe & Singapore Adventure in under 4 minutes – A short video summing up Nick’s and my adventures in Europe and Singapore.
- Snapchat and the Abomination of the Selfie – Why I deleted Snapchat and my opinion on how it affected the types of photos I take.
- So long and thanks for all the fish – My experiences with bullying and discrimination in a workplace, and why I eventually decided to quit.
- Real-life relationships on the internet – People have their opinions regarding posting about their relationship on social media, but as an observer, what do we think? We naturally become curious.
- I didn’t mean to become a web developer, it just happened – An inspirational presentation I gave on my personal journey on how I became a web developer. Includes a video and slides.
- My Blogging Values – I go through some of the values I remain true to as I have continued blogging over the years.
- The Teapot Debacle – An unfortunate, humorous story of an ill-fated teapot.
- I purpled my hair 🍇 – I got my hair coloured purple, which unfortunately didn’t last very long as it faded. But it was so fun!
Tiny May mentioned that one of her favourite posts was ‘Unfollowing’ people on social media. I gave a little reminder that although following people is opt-in, we tend to think of why we “subscribed” in the first place, and it stops us from unsubscribing and unfollowing. We need to think of opting out because we are no longer interested in the content.
Which post was your favourite? Or did you have another one I missed out on? :D

Senior Google Engineer Matt Cutts discusses links versus social signals. According to Matt links are still extremely important, and are not going away anytime soon.
Discussion around the Web:
From Search Engine Roundtable
My take away was that Matt Cutts says links are still, for the foreseeable future, going to be a more powerful signal for search rankings than social signals.
Are Links a Dying Signal?
No. “There’s a perception that everything will go social and links will be obsolete but I wouldn’t write the epitaph for links just yet,” he said.
Discussion at WebMasterWorld WebMasterWorld.

Check out my latest column at SearchEngineWatch.com on Strategies to Market Your Content for Link Building. It’s all about getting your content top rankings so it starts to acquire links naturally.
Spend time getting published on other sites related to your industry. Instead of having the link point to your homepage, or product page, have it linked to the content you’re promoting. Remember the goal is to get that content top rankings so it will attract more natural links, and drive some traffic.

Read my latest column at SearchEngineWatch.com about using public information and data to create an ethical linkbait campaign. The main topics are public domain material and aggregation of public information.
With the abundance of governments offering data this is a great approach. Here are some government sources for the US and Europe: data.gov, data.gov.uk and ourdata.eu.
Don’t have a developer? There are other ways to aggregate information. It could be as simple as an infographic. Let’s say You are in a health field in the US. You could create an infographic comparing life expectancy to pet ownership. Then target pet groups.

75 Years No. 350 (F) Squadron
Fortissimi since 1941
On the occasion of its 75th anniversary this year, No. 350 Squadron adorned the vertical tail fin of Lockheed Martin F-16AM FA‑129 with a 1940s era Spitfire camouflage scheme and squadron code MN-B. This code was carried by Spitfire LF.IXc MH434 when it served with No. 350 Squadron from January till March 1944. Belgian pilots flew the same aircraft a second time when it joined the Belgian Air Force’s Advanced Flying Training School at Brustem Air Base as a training aircraft carrying the serial number SM-41 in October 1953. Although the aircraft was withdrawn from military service in May 1954, it still is flying today in the air show circuit as MH434. The national insignia on the fin’s port side are post-May 1942 RAF national markings, while those on the starboard side are 1945-1948 style Belgian markings. The text “Fortissimi since 1941” is based on No. 350 Squadron’s motto “Belgae Gallorum fortissimi” as written by Julius Caesar in his “De Bello Gallico” on the Gallic Wars. The unit’s badge is formed by a Gallic warrior’s head.
No. 350 (Belgian) Squadron was formed at Valley on 12 November 1941 from the Belgian flights of Nos. 131 and 609 Squadrons. It was the first Belgian-manned fighter squadron in the Royal Air Force and became operational on Spitfire IIA on 22 December. In April 1942, the unit moved south to start combat operations over northern France. During the war, it participated in among others Operation “Jubilee”, the landing in Dieppe on 19 August 1942, and Operation “Overlord”, the landing in Normandy on 6 June 1944. Later on it was engaged in intercepting V1 flying bombs over England and in supporting the advancing Allied armies in Belgium, the Netherlands and Germany. After the war, No. 350 Squadron was part of the occupation forces in Germany until it was transferred to the control of the Belgian Air Force on 15 October 1946.
During 50 years, No. 350 Squadron operated from Beauvechain Air Base. In 1996 it moved to its present home base, Florennes. It subsequently flew on Supermarine Spitfire XIV, Gloster Meteor F.4 and F.8, Hawker Hunter F.4, Avro Canada CF-100 Canuck Mk.5, Lockheed F-104G Starfighter and Lockheed Martin F-16AM Fighting Falcon.
After half a century of Cold War training, No. 350 Squadron resumed participating in real operations from 1996 onwards: Operation “Decisive Endeavour” in Yugoslavia from October 1996 till June 1998, Operation “Deliberate Guard” in Yugoslavia from June 1998 till June 2001, Operation “Allied Force” in Bosnia and Kosovo from March till June 1999, Operation “Eastern Eagle” in Afghanistan from July 2005 till January 2006, Operation “Guardian Falcon” in Afghanistan from September 2008 till September 2014, Operation “Freedom Falcon” in Libya from March till October 2011 and Operation “Desert Falcon” in Iraq from October 2014 till June 2015.

COVINGTON - The Newton County School System is expected to continue to operate from a balanced calendar for at least the next school year.
During a Tuesday night combined work session and monthly meeting, the Newton County Board of Education members unanimously approved a recommendation from NCSS Superintendent Steven Whatley to use a balanced calendar for the 2009-10 school year.
The calendar is similar to the current one the system used this year and for the past several years; it has teachers reporting to school July 27 for preparation and professional learning and has students returning Aug. 3 to begin the school year.
During the year, schools would close for fall break during the second week of October, a weeklong Thanksgiving break, a two-week-long holiday break in December and January, a weeklong winter break in February and a weeklong spring break in April.
The calendar also has three student early release days for teacher professional learning days, as well as breaks and early release days for parent conferences and other holidays.
Students would attend school until May 28, the last day of the 2009-10 school year, and teachers would work until June 2 for post-planning.
Earlier this school year, the school board and school system solicited feedback from school councils, teachers forums and the community regarding four separate proposed calendars that a system committee developed - the balanced calendar, a mid-August start date calendar, a start after Labor Day calendar and a four-day school week calendar.
The board received overwhelming approval of the balanced calendar from the teacher forum, school council and online survey results; 20 out of 21 teacher forum groups, all 16 school council groups and more than 61 percent of 733 online votes requested the balanced calendar, according to results from NCSS.
The teacher forum at Ficquett Elementary School was the only school group that requested the four-day school week calendar, as did more than 16 percent of the online votes; more than 10 percent of online votes showed an interest in the mid-August start date calendar and more than 12 percent of the online votes wanted the start after Labor Day calendar.
In the past, several school board members have discussed the four-day calendar as an option to save on fuel costs and other costs, but in November the board said state law would have to be changed in order for the school system to allow this calendar or the school system would have to be granted special permission from the state legislature or the Georgia Department of Education.
"We appreciate the input we've had and the comments that have come in, not only from the school councils but on the Web site, too," Whatley said Tuesday.
The board votes on a new school calendar each year.

We have the “all clear” today to do business (whether you spend $10 or $10 million) and make important decisions. The Moon is in Capricorn.
Aries (March 21-April 19)
Unexpected opportunities to travel somewhere will make your day. Others might have a sudden chance to get further training or education. Expect to meet people who are different or from unusual backgrounds. This is an exciting, stimulating day!
Taurus (April 20-May 20)
Unexpected gifts, goodies or favours from others might drop in your lap today. You might suddenly get a loan approved. You can definitely benefit from the wealth and resources of others in a sudden, unexpected way. Ka-ching! (We like.)
Gemini (May 21-June 20)
Friends and partners hold a few surprises today. They might have unusual suggestions about what to do or they might just say or do something that’s kinda shocking. Quite possibly, someone will demand greater freedom in a relationship. (That someone could be you.)
Cancer (June 21-July 22)
The introduction of new technology to your work might be exciting. New staff members or a new routine is also possible. Be open to changes because you can broaden your world and perhaps improve how you do things. Nevertheless, computer glitches are in the picture. Ouch.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)
Surprise flirtations could be thrilling today. Unexpected invitations to sports events, a movie or any social occasion will please you. However, Leo parents should be extra vigilant because this is a mildly accident-prone day for your kids. Keep your eyes peeled.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
Family conversations will be lively and inventive today. You might see an entirely new approach to doing repairs at home. Or you might dream up a party or an event where you decide to invite people to your home. Something new and unexpected is taking place.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
Your daily routine will be interrupted today, hopefully for fun reasons. But quite literally, detours are likely. Expect to meet new faces and see new places. Be careful because this is a mildly accident-prone day for you. You’re full of bright new ideas today.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
You’re full of innovative money-making ideas today. Clever you! However, something surprising to do with your cash flow could occur. You might find money; you might lose money. Don’t be afraid to suggest something. Run it up the flagpole to see if anyone salutes.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
You feel alive and mentally awake today! This is a great day to tackle problems because your mind is unusually resourceful and inventive. You have a magpie interest in absolutely everything today, if only briefly. Life is clipping along at a fast pace and you want to learn everything you can!
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
This is a great day to take up any kind of study or do research, especially in math, science, technology and even the occult or mystical matters. Your mind is ready to break through limitations that are self-imposed or previously misunderstood. Think of it as genius-like weird spores in the air. (Not.)
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
This is your kind of day! Expect to meet some real characters today, people who are bizarre or unorthodox. Furthermore, in all kinds of group situations (small coffee klatches or large conferences), something unexpected will occur that sends things in a new direction. But it will be lively and stimulating!
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)
Bosses, parents and authority figures might do or say something that shocks you today. (Grist for the grapevine?) However, you might also feel rebellious dealing with authority figures. You don’t want to be micromanaged. Guard against knee-jerk reactions and don’t quit your day job.
If Your Birthday Is Today
Comedienne/actress Miranda Hart (1972) shares your birthday today. You are highly original and not afraid of being different. (You enjoy an audience.) Some would consider you eccentric – you don’t care. You are definitely daring but not reckless. Privately, you’re philosophical but you do like to provoke others! (Puncturing sacred cows.) In your year ahead, a major change will take place, perhaps something as significant as what occurred around 2004.

Suppose an investment fund indicates that, based on the composition of its portfolio and on current market conditions, there is a 90% probability it will either make a profit or otherwise not lose more than USD 2.3MM over the next trading day. This is an example of a value-at-risk (VaR) measurement. For a given time period and probability, a value-at-risk measure purports to indicate an amount of money such that there is that probability of the portfolio not losing more than that amount of money over that time period. Stated another way, value-at-risk purports to indicate a quantile of the probability distribution for a portfolio’s loss over a specified time period.
To specify a value-at-risk metric, we must identify three things:
- The period of time over which a possible loss will be calculated—1 day, 2 weeks, 1 month, etc. This is called the value-at-risk horizon. In our example, the value-at-risk horizon is one trading day.
- A quantile of that possible loss. In the example, the portfolio’s value-at-risk is expressed as a .90 quantile of loss.
- The currency in which the possible loss is denominated. This is called the base currency. In our example, the base currency is USD.
In this book, we measure time in units equal to the length of the value-at-risk horizon, which always starts at time 0 and ends at time 1. We adopt the following convention for naming value-at-risk metrics: the metric’s name is given as the horizon, quantile, and currency, in that order, followed by “VaR” or “value-at-risk”. If the horizon is expressed in days without qualification, these are understood to be trading days. The quantile q is generally indicated as a percentage. Based on this convention, the value-at-risk metric of the investment fund in our example above is one-day 90% USD value-at-risk. If a British bank calculates value-at-risk as the 0.99 quantile of loss over ten trading days, as required under the Basel Accords, this would be called 10-day 99% GBPvalue-at-risk.
1.4.1 Probabilistic Metrics of Market Risk (PMMRs)
Value-at-risk is one example of a category of risk metrics that we might call probabilistic metrics of market risk (PMMRs). While this book focuses on value-at-risk, we shall see that the computations one performs to calculate value-at-risk are mostly identical to those you would perform to calculate any PMMR. In this section, we formalize the notion of value-at-risk metrics by first formalizing PMMRs. This will provide a general perspective for understanding value-at-risk in a context of other familiar market risk metrics.
Suppose a portfolio were to remain untraded for a certain period—say from the current time 0 to some future time 1. The portfolio’s market value at the start of the period is known. Its market value at the end of the period is unknown. It is a random variable. As a random variable, we may assign it a probability distribution conditional upon information available at time 0. We might quantify the portfolio’s market risk with some real-valued parameter of that conditional distribution.
Formally, we define a PMMR as a real-valued function of:
- the distribution of conditional on information available at time 0; and
- the portfolio’s current value .
Standard deviation of , conditional on information available at time 0, is an example:
Volatility, defined as the standard deviation of a portfolio’s simple return 1Z, is a PMMR:
If we define portfolio loss as
then the conditional standard deviation of 1L is a PMMR:
1.4.2 Value-at-Risk as a PMMR
Let and denote cumulative distribution functions (CDFs) of 1P and 1L, conditional on information available at time 0. The preceding superscripts 1|0 are a convention to alert you that the distributions are “for random variables at time 1 but conditional on information available at time 0.”
If these conditional CDFs are strictly increasing, their inverses and exist and provide quantiles of 1P and 1L. As we have already indicated, value-at-risk metrics represent a q-quantile of loss 1L, and this satisfies the definition of PMMR:
Recall that risk measures are categorized according to the metrics they support. Having defined value-at-risk metrics, we define value-at-risk as the category of risk measures that are intended to support value-at-risk metrics. If a risk measure is intended to support a metric that is a value-at-risk metric, then the measure is a value-at-risk measure. If we apply a value-at-risk measure to a portfolio, the value obtained is called a value-at-risk measurement or, less precisely, the portfolio’s value-at-risk.
To use a value-at-risk measure, we must implement it. We must secure necessary inputs, code software, and install the software on computers and related hardware. The result is a value-at-risk implementation.
Which of the following represent PMMRs?
- conditional variance of a portfolio’s USD market value 1 week from today;
- conditional standard deviation of a portfolio’s JPY net cash flow over the next month.
- beta, as defined by Sharpe’s (1964) Capital Asset Pricing Model, conditional on information available at time 0.
- expected tail loss (ETL), which is defined as the expected value of a portfolio’s loss over a specified horizon, assuming the loss exceeds the portfolio’s value-at-risk for that same horizon.1
Using the naming convention indicated in the text, name the following value-at-risk metric: conditional 0.99 quantile of a portfolio’s loss, measured in GBP, over the next trading day.
As part of specifying a value-at-risk metric, we must indicate a base currency. This makes sense because value-at-risk indicates an amount of money that might be lost. It is measured in units of currency. But what about other PMMRs? Consider, for example, a 1-day standard deviation of simple return. A portfolio’s return is a unitless quantity; so is its conditional standard deviation of return. Must we specify a base currency for this PMMR?

My Nikon buddy Jan and I participated in this year's edition of the FNAC Fotomarathon in Brugge (Bruges).
The idea is to walk through the city and deliver two images per team at three download spots.
Images must be JPG and shot along the way, and must reflect a certain theme, that is announced at each new location.
This year, the themes were "Music", "Quiet-Serenity" and "Nostalgia".
(The format normally also includes that the images should in some way visualize the hosting city.
This was IMHO not really apparent this year in the winning contributions, although they were nice images.
If I find them online. I will post a link.)
Here are some of our contributions (and also images that were considered but rejected).
I hope you recognize the themes.
Also included inbetween are a couple of atmosphere shots.
If I get Jan's images by mail, I will post these too.
(The images that I submitted, are presented here out-of-camera. I did some minor PP on some of the others.)
EDIT : Some pictures and thoughts of another participant : http://tomvh.wordpress.com/2009/06/20/fnac-fotomarathon-brugge/

This year, freshmen will be experiencing sticker shock as they wade into the world of exorbitant college textbook prices.
‘Sticker shock will hit many college freshmen when they head to the bookstore this fall. With the average new text costing more than $100, the typical student can expect to spend more than $900 a year on books. In 2003-04, the average textbook cost $102.44 and the average student spent about $900 a year on textbooks, according to the GAO and a separate survey by the CalPIRG Higher Education Project. Today, the average book would cost almost $115, given the rate of textbook inflation.’

Joe Hill has become a deeply ingrained part of Utah folklore. The Wobbly songwriter was executed for murder in the state in the early 1900s.
At the turn of the twentieth century, the labor movement in the United States was on the ascendance as workers fought for better treatment in the workplace. The Industrial Workers of the World, commonly known as Wobblies, were a group that broke from the AFL and began attracting rank and file workers across the U.S., including in Utah. One of the IWW’s unique methods for creating unity among its members and for recruiting new members was the use of song. Perhaps the union’s most important songwriter was Joe Hill, an itinerant worker and poet who had been born in Sweden.
Hill arrived in Utah late in 1913 and immediately went to work at a mine in Park City. After losing his job because of illness, he became a frequent guest in Swedish immigrants’ homes in Sandy and elsewhere, being popular because of his ability to play the piano and sing Swedish songs.
But on the night of January 10, 1914, a grocery store owner, John G. Morrison, and his son Arling were murdered by two men with bandannas over their faces. Several men, including Joe Hill, were suspected of the murder. Hill was in the suspect group because he had been treated for a gunshot wound the same night. In the end, he became the only suspect in spite of incriminating evidence found on another man.
Hill’s trial was often more about his involvement with the labor union than about the murders. He was convicted on circumstantial evidence, and the judge suppressed several circumstantial facts that could have helped Hill. The trial became a national cause célèbre, and after Hill’s conviction and sentencing to death, hundreds of people across the country, including President Woodrow Wilson, wrote letters asking for a pardon, a new trial, or commutation of the sentence to life in prison. Nevertheless, the Utah authorities executed Hill by firing squad on November 19, 1915, turning him into a martyr of the labor movement whose songs are still popular today, and about whom songs have been written.

The three-year battle to make the Dodgers’ television network available to the majority of Los Angeles took a turn on Wednesday, with the United States Department of Justice filing suit in federal court against AT&T, which owns DirecTV, alleging collusion to keep SportsNet LA off the air.
The Associated Press has more:
The complaint says the companies made the agreements to prevent competitors from offering the channel to lure customers. Dodger fans were bitter they could only watch games through Time Warner Cable - now owned by Charter - the past three seasons.
The government says DirecTV was the ringleader because it was the only company that unlawfully talked to multiple rivals, and says that DirecTV executives acknowledged that the satellite-TV company would be in a stronger position if competing TV providers also did not carry the Dodgers channel.
It is unclear whether this lawsuit will lead to SportsNet LA showing up on other carriers — AT&T, DirecTV, Verizon, et al — but at the very least is some form of action, which is a change from the last three seasons, when well over half of the Los Angeles area cannot watch Dodgers games.
Perhaps getting the Dodgers on TV will be a side benefit of the various telecommunications mergers, and the subsequent scrutiny that follows. Public interest group Public Knowledge issued a statement about the lawsuit:
We're glad to see strong antitrust enforcement from the Department of Justice. The allegations in this complaint demonstrate how difficult is can be for law enforcement to monitor the behavior of large companies.
AT&T, which acquired with DirecTV in 2015, responded to the lawsuit through attorney David McAfee:
We respect the DOJ’s important role in protecting consumers, but in this case, which occurred before AT&T’s acquisition of DIRECTV, we see the facts differently. The reason why no other major TV provider chose to carry this content was that no one wanted to force all of their customers to pay the inflated prices that Time Warner Cable was demanding for a channel devoted solely to LA Dodgers baseball. We make our carriage decisions independently, legally and only after thorough negotiations with the content owner. We look forward to presenting these facts in court.
Dodgers president and CEO Stan Kasten issued a statement as well.
“The allegations against DirecTV in today’s complaint by the U.S. Justice Department are shocking but not surprising,” Kasten said. “We hope today’s action leads to all Dodger fans finally being able to view all Dodger games everywhere in the market.”

International Conference on Advances in Social Science, Economics and Human Behavior - SEH 2014
Author(s) : FELISA L. SANICO
Quality education stems from good management. Good management is not solely confined within the parameters of the managerial task, but also in renewed dimensions in knowledge, techniques, and skills required of educational leaders and administrators. A definitive instructional focus alongside a strengthened curriculum comprises strong attributes for an institution to thrive in rapidly-increasing societal demands and at its best meet local and international standardizations procedures. A comprehensive curricular review vis-à-vis renewed instructional supervision is integral in realizing the long-range plans of the University. Effective supervision entails that the foregoing shall work hand in hand to serve the interest of the respective constituents.

Dhyāna verses of Kāmakalā Kālī
(source: Mahākālasaṁhitā Kāmakalākālīkhaṇḍaḥ)
(This is an edited version. Readers discretion is advised as some descriptions are repulsive in nature)
Kāmakalā Kālī is like the redness at dawn, like red hibiscus. Her eyes are like Cuckoo bird and appear like jambul fruit (Jamun or jambu). Hair is thick and long, reaching her feet. Her three eyes appear like burning coals. Her face is like a full moon and a red lotus. Two long upper teeth are protruding and hence compared to red lotus (petals of a lotus flower). Her form is frightening because of her dangling tongue. All her thirty two teeth are visible as her mouth is open. Her head is constantly shaking and her form is terrible. She drinks blood from the human heads hanging from her neck. She has a crooked shoulder. There is blood on her forehead. Her ear ornaments are hanging down, reaching her shoulders. She is wearing a huge white necklace made of human heads from which blood is constantly dropping. She is wearing a waist band made up of children’s heads woven together with intestines. She has long sixteen arms. Her hands are adorned with human skulls. She is wearing bangles made of blood vessels of the dead. The kaṭisūtra (girdle around her waist) she is wearing is a rope made from the hair of the dead. Dead children’s hands are woven together to make the chain (waist-girdle) around her waist. In her fingers, she wears rings made of flesh and bone marrow.
In her right hands, she holds a sword, trident, chakra, arrow, hook, lālan (a poisonous animal that looks like mouse), clippers and chain made of skulls and bones. In her left hands, she holds noose, axe, snake, bow, hammer like weapon, jackal’s baby and a cup made of skull filled with blood, fat and marrow. She is wearing an anklet interwoven with skeletal bones. She is in the graveyard amidst burning pyres and she is standing on the back of a vast dead body. The fire coming out of her mouth is spreading in all directions. She is standing on one foot and has lifted the other foot, ready to step forward. On her either side, two terrible looking jackals are standing, who spit fire from their mouths. These jackals, which look like burning coals surround Kāmakalā Kālī and look at her constantly. She keeps feeding them with heads from a cup made of skull and they keep on eating.Her hair is not tied or combed. She laughs wildly and noisily which is frightening. She has a short form and laughs always.
During annihilation, she is like billions of suns and a billion lightening. She ends a period (yuga). She eradicates enemies and is terrible.
Kāmakalā Kālī Mūlamantra:
ॐ क्लीं क्रीं हूं क्रों स्फ्रें कामकलाकालि स्फ्रें क्रों हूं क्रीं क्लीं स्वाहा।
om klīṁ krīṁ hūṁ kroṁ sphreṁ kāmakalākāli sphreṁ kroṁ hūṁ krīṁ klīṁ svāhā |

As a photo or a painting, it would look great framed and hung on someone's wall!
Heaps of primary colours ... if only the sky had been a little less cloud-crowded you would have had a wonderful splash of blue as well.I've been enjoying some of your back-posts dws~11
I enlarged the photo and it really does have a painterly affect. Very well done Ben. I think I will check take a closer look at Lightroom just for fun.
Beautiful :) I like it

When I was a freshman in high school, my parents took me and my brother on a vacation to Pittsburgh. At first, we balked because 1. we live in Pittsburgh and 2. no beach = not a real vacation.
I was so wrong, you guys! My parents showed us the sights and sounds of our great city that, otherwise, a 15-year-old wouldn’t have known existed, much less appreciated. Pittsburgh: my favorite staycation!

Since I was going to Punta Cana, Dominican Republic I thought it would be the perfect opportunity to mix prints. Two of my favorite prints are leopard and floral. My method of choosing this look is as follows: I chose the leopard dress to be the star of the show and the floral clutch as my sidekick. For mixing prints, it is important to create a balance. You want to keep the pair looking harmonious and not competing for the attention. The floral accent softened the fierceness of the leopard print, to give off a more romantic vibe. I finished my look with emerald drop earrings and a gold strap sandal. I’m really happy with the results:
- Michael by Michael Kors Leopard Print Jersey Stretch Maxi Dress; $150 (I paid $49.99 at Marshalls!) Similar Style at Net-A-Porter.com
- Cavalcanti Genuine Leather Floral Clutch; $49.99 at Marshalls, available on ebay.com
- Steve Madden ‘Stecy’ Sandal in Gold; $79.95 at stevemadden.com
- Noir Gem Drop Earrings; $77 (I paid $57.75 at shopbop.com back in October, no longer available but you can find similar style here and here
How do you think I pulled it off? Do you like to mix prints?

Do you know that 90 percent of our purchase decisions are made with our hearts, not our heads?* Is it not too far-fetched then to think that how we treat our customers might actually be more important than the products and services we sell?
Retaining customers is the single most cost-effective way to grow your revenue, yet so many companies forget to think of their customers when making important business decisions.
In the Age of the Customer, successful companies recognize that the mix of exceptional service and products has shifted, without material investment in technology, manufacturing or other shiny widgets. If it’s not with a shiny widget, then how do you maintain customer loyalty? Let’s start with the question: Do you know why your customers come back each season?
UNDERSTANDING YOUR VALUE PROPOSITION
First, you need to know your own company. For decades, many companies took an arrogant approach to customer expectation management. Not too long ago, Research In Motion (RIM) built and sold millions of Blackberry devices that could send text messages and emails, search the internet and make phone calls. However, RIM was not listening to their customers’ changing needs or anticipating their demands.
Customers wanted features such as a camera, music and other applications they could select themselves and customize. They wanted a device they could build to match their personality and lifestyle. Apple introduced the iPhone and priced it at $499 ($269 more than a Blackberry at the time). Both had phone and email capability, but Apple allowed its users to have a simplistic design, highly customizable apps and provided exceptional service. In short, Apple thoroughly understood their value proposition to their customers.
Understanding your value proposition to your customer is critical. Do not assume you fully understand this — it changes quickly and often with little warning. However, being connected to your customer will provide the intel you need.
WHAT ARE ‘GUESTS’ SAYING?
I’d like to challenge you to no longer consider your patrons, employees and vendors as “customers.” As the Age of the Consumer continues to grow and influence service delivery, more and more customer-centric leaders reference these individuals as “guests.” In all reality, they really are guests at your facility. The logic behind this is that when we invite someone into our home or workplace, we want them to feel welcome, valued and appreciated. This is the entire premise for having friends over for a barbecue or gathering. When we start treating our employees and customers as guests, those same feelings will carry over to them.
Remember – how you make someone feel is what they will remember. Get to know your guests. Who are they and what are they saying about the services you offer? There are countless books out there to discuss personas (different types of guests), journeys (the collection of experiences with you), segments (groupings of personas) and so on, but at the end of the day, who is it that pays your bills and why? By no means does this need to be a formal, complex strategy. It doesn’t even need to take up a huge chunk of your budget.
More often than not, a casual conversation with guests will provide all the feedback you need to get started. Take a walk around during a learn-to skate or hockey class and engage with the skaters and parents of the skaters. Or, appoint someone to act as a “secret guest,” interacting with other parents to garner invaluable feedback. This “secret guest” should also approach the front desk and ask questions in order to determine the level of support provided.
Combine this with just a few internet searches, including Google and Yelp reviews, to compare who you think you are to what everyone else sees or hears before even stepping foot into your facility. Learn what people are saying about your facility, and determine if this is the image you want to portray.
A 2017 study by Spiegel Research Institute revealed that 95 percent of new purchases are influenced by former customers’ online reviews. The same study showed that conversion rates increased 270 percent when the company provided reviews prominently. Brightlocal conducted a study in 2017 that showed that 93 percent of consumers read online reviews of local companies prior to doing business with them. The findings also conveyed that 89 percent of consumers were willing to read replies to reviews.
How do you stay in front of the curve to exceed your guests’ expectations? The balance comes with understanding why customers choose one rink over another and the margin each guest provides. If you really keep your guests in the center of your decisions, you’ll find that the financial value from those choices often will deliver quicker than you thought. Magically changing the name of a persona group doesn’t mean you’ll make them feel different. Your actions must be genuine. Your employees need to be trained to know what good service delivery looks like. For example, the act of simply holding the door for a guest or offering to help carry some gear goes a long way toward making someone feel special.
Let’s flip that scenario and consider a team or a league that is coming up on the end of the season and has not expressed whether or not they are returning next season. Do you think it is easier to have a conversation with that coach or commissioner now or after the season is over? Engaging with existing customers will provide current sentiment and feelings about your brand and facility.
Plus, having those conversations while they are your customer means revenue is coming in to cover costs at the same time. Survey these customers mid-season so you can address any issues. It is also critical to review each and every type of guest you interact with. This includes skaters, players, parents, spouses, coaches, league administrators, regulators, employees, vendors and suppliers, trade associates and so on. This is also a great opportunity to garner staff input. Various roles interact with different guests throughout their visits. What you are looking for is a representation of the guests visiting your facility.
KEEP IT, CHANGE IT
Now what? If your guests are willing to share their thoughts, they are already on the path to help you succeed, especially if they have negative feedback to provide. A great way to prioritize this feedback is to split items into two lists: “Keep It” and “Change It.” Items that guests say are critical to why they visit your facility go on the “Keep It” list. Everything else goes on the “Change It” list. Be sure to include representatives of your team when compiling the lists. After all, they are often the closest folks to your guests.
Once you have the two groupings, consider prioritizing items by level of effort and guest impact. For example, suppose guests want more front row parking, especially at night. Well, without providing valet services or building an expensive new parking lot, that item may fall under high effort and low impact. Folks will still use your rink, but the reason behind closer parking may be that the lot is dark in the early hours and folks don’t feel safe walking to the building. An interim solution the team may come up with is to change the timer on the parking lot lights, add additional lighting or perhaps even a security service to patrol the lot until dawn.
As mentioned earlier, connecting with your guests and having them feel a connection to you, your staff and your facility drives customer loyalty. Loyal customers stay with you longer, spend more with you on a per transaction basis and refer new guests to you. Maya Angelou once said, “They will not remember what you said or what you did, but they will remember how you made them feel.” How impactful would it be if you could cut your customer churn in half? Typically, this change in customer behavior is the result of small, incremental changes to your service delivery.
Revolutionary changes to your operations can be extremely disruptive. However, evolutionary improvement shows you are growing and adapting to anticipate your customers’ needs. The key is to stay connected to your guests — internal (employees) and external.

2405 Ridgeview : AD Stenger
If you read my newsletter, you know I've been teasing about some off market Stenger homes for a bit. I had the pleasure of walking through this A.D. Stenger designed and built home a few weeks ago and meeting the owner. It's in incredibly original shape and has been lovingly preserved. All it needs now is another owner to love it the way it has been for the last 58 years.
Details: 1,501 sq. ft. 2 Bed, 2 Bath

Expertise, At Your Service
In the old days before the internet, electrical contractors could only buy from huge electrical wholesalers and territory reps who controlled prices with an iron fist. Today, the lighting market is evolving into a much flatter playing field, allowing low-overhead web-based companies like EmergencyLight.net to cater to a large lighting market and sell name-brand fixtures at wholesale prices.
While there are number of sites like us, nobody provides the individual customer care and attention like EmergencyLight.net. Emergency Lighting is what we do, and we do it well. Count on our knowledge of code compliance - from national fire and building codes to OSHA safety guidelines, CSA Listings and UL924 code. We especially excel in the industrial hazardous location market, and will find the code-compliant fixture that will pass inspection every time.

Understanding Custom Apparel and Decoration
The clothing and apparel industry has grown and evolved as quickly as we can decorate it. Apparel decoration was once as simple as silk screen printing a stencil on a t-shirt. These days the options may seem endless. Garments can range from 100% organic cotton to hydrophilic polyester. The means to apply your logo can still be as simple as screen printing a stencil or as intricate as a finely detailed embroidery. With nearly 30 years in the business, we are here to guide you through the complex web of possibilities, making it simple and easy to get decorated apparel for your business, group, fashion line, or just for the fun of it.
Custom Apparel for Printing
100% cotton fabric is industry standard for screen printed apparel. Cotton fabric comes in a wide variety of styles and colors. We can provide you with everything from very basic, generic tees for promotional giveaways to high end fashion, eco-friendly garments for your environmentally conscious business. While cotton is the fabric most frequently used, screen print is a very flexible medium and we can print on a multitude of other fabrics specific to your apparel needs. We also offer direct-to-garment printing. Get in touch for a free consultation.
Custom Apparel for Embroidery
We can embroider your logo on everything from polo shirts and laptop cases to caps and towels. We can even embroider logos to raw fabrics pre-construction. While sturdier garments, such as twill caps, tend to embroider more cleanly and beautifully, we have highly skilled digitizers and operators to create the best sewing for whatever apparel you have in mind. Send us your idea and we’ll take care of the rest.
Have you thought of other promotional and retail items to compliment your decorated garments? From beer mugs and key chains to pens made from recycled material, we can supply all items for your restaurant, club, client, or business. Everything you need - just a mouse click or phone call away.
