Endemic describes an infection rate of 1-5% and hyperendemic an infection rate of over 5%. Strongyloides infection rates of over 25% have been seen in in some parts of tropical and sub-tropical indigenous Australia. It i also found in high rates in other countries in the same latitudes.
Strongyloides stercoralis is a parasitic roundworm. These worms are picked up when you come in contact with faeces or faecally contaminated soil. When these worms get on the skin they burrow in.
The larvae then move through the body and can end up in the lungs.
You cough, they end up in your mouth.
You swallow they end up in your gut, well, the small intestine where they can live happily ever after (up to 12 months).
From there they burrow into the mucosa and lay their eggs. The time taken from burrowing into the skin until the eggs hatch in the intestinal mucosa is about two weeks.
Some of these larvae when hatched are excreted where they can live for a few days outside the body. Others go through the cycle again to reach the small intestine and reproduce. The video shows where you find them in the small intestine.
They can be diagnosed from a blood test or an examination of a stool sample. Often it is high eosinophils can indicate their presence leading to further diagnostic tests. You can have them for years without knowing. However should your immune system falter they become a problem. This can be due to among other causes, a bacterial infection or doses of cortisone. Up to 60% of all deaths due to strongyloidiasis are because cortisone type drugs were given to patients with chronic strongyloidiasis.
Ivermectin is the best treatment with about an 80% cure rate if two treatments are given a week apart.
More information can be found at the Aboriginal Resource and Development Services website. A very readable pharmacy based article (as part of a larger pdf file) written by pharmacist Lindy Swain can be found in the May 2008 edition of the Rural Pharmacy magazine.

could a relationship happen?Visitor's Question from a 16-20 year old Male
there is this girl that i have known for 2 years now. we have kinda had an off and on friendship cuz her boyfriend was really protective of her. when i first met her i thought she was fickle cuz she made it seem like she liked me then next thing i know she was back with the same guy again. so i left it alone and we basically didnt talk to eachother anymore. then she started having problems with this guy. so i started calling her and we would talk about it. we ended up spending hours on the phone at night and talked everyday. i told her that maybe that guy wasnt good enough for her then next thing i know she broke up with him. we started hanging out more and flirting a lot. she started saying that she cared about me and she cried when i left for college. she considers me her best friend but i get the feeling she likes me more than that. i wanna be with her but im afraid of what she might say if i ask. im also not sure if she does like me but she has told me before that she used to like me. what do i do?
The way to find out is to ask her out.
She's clued you in that she likes you and now it is up to you to take the initiative.
Take advantage of the holidays to see her often and when the moment is right ask her out.
Good luck! George

LUCY'S MODELING CAREER
Back in New York City with a new determination, Lucille Ball landed her first modeling job in a small wholesale coat place on Seventh Avenue. She went by the name of Diane Belmont. The Belmont racetrack on Long Island inspired her name.
Soon Lucy moved into an atmosphere of gilded elegance. She became a model at Hattie Carnegie's internationally famous dress shop on East Forty-Ninth Street. Overnight, she found herself in a world of rich society women, glamorous movie stars, and free-spending men-about-town.
Lucy learned to look and move with elegance and grace. Watching all the society women, Lucy analyzed their styles, how they walked, moved, and what they wore and how they talked. Connie and Joan Bennett were frequent customers and this was the time Lucy decided to bleach her hair the color of Joan's platinum blonde. She began to cram a stockpile of information that would serve her well in the coming years.
Lucy began to meet some of the rich eligible bachelors in town and had many proposals but, at eighteen, marriage was the last thing on her mind. Getting little sleep and not eating right, she came down with pneumonia but needing the money, she hurried back to Hattie's. It was at this time, while standing for a fitting that she felt excruciating pain in both legs. Hattie sent her to the doctor, and Lucy found out she had rheumatoid arthritis.
After some initial treatments, a discouraged Lucy returned home to Jamestown. While recuperating in Jamestown, Lucy was approached to play Aggie Lynch in the fast-paced melodrama Within the Law for the Jamestown Players. She was hailed a success, a true professional. With these words, Lucy persuaded her friend, Marion Strong, to return to New York City with her the following Spring.
Lucy returned to Modeling for a first-class clothing house, Jacksons on Thirty-Ninth Street and Seventh Avenue. The clothes were exquisite and expensive but the women were department store buyers, full of talk and gossip. Lucy clowned around a lot and made them laugh, which helped their sales!
To earn more money, Lucy posed at night and weekends for commercial illustrators. One evening, a painter named Ratterman did an oil portrait of Lucy in a borrowed chiffon dress from her modeling job. He sold the painting to Chesterfield cigarettes and overnight, Lucy's face and figure were on billboards all over town.
As the new Chesterfield Girl, Lucy found the break she needed. Sylvia Hahlo, a theatrical agent noticed her and told her Sam Goldwyn needed a dozen well-known poster girls for a new Eddie Cantor movie, "Roman Scandals". He had all the girls picked, but one had backed out. Within three days, Lucy was on her way to Hollywood!

To ensure the protection of both the environment as well as the health and safety of area residents,
the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) is committed to ensuring a complete clean up of the groundwater contamination near the Azalea neighborhood in St. Petersburg to state standards.
As the cleanup process moves forward, DEP will continue to provide accurate and timely
information to the citizens affected by this contamination. Below is a set
of Frequently Asked Questions
that we hope will help explain the situation to date.
Who should I contact to have my irrigation well sampled?
Please contact Mr. Robert Luhrs at Raytheon as he has been working directly with citizens
to determine if your well falls within the area of concern. You may e-mail your request
directly to Mr. Luhrs at
If DEP has requested that a homeowner temporarily stop using their irrigation well,
who will pay for the additional cost to use city water to irrigate?
is working with the City of St. Petersburg to help offset the cost of any plumbing work that may need to be done
as well as covering the cost of higher water bills. Raytheon has committed to addressing those additional costs
for owners with contaminated wells. Please make contact with Raytheon or the City of St. Petersburg if you have
any additional questions or concerns.
- The report detailed how
far and how deep any contaminated groundwater has
traveled from the Raytheon site. DEP's professional geologists and engineers reviewed the report
and approved Raytheon’s Site Assessment Report Addendum
on January 29, 2009.
What is the Florida Department of Environmental Protection’s role?
DEP is required to oversee Raytheon’s efforts to complete the required work to fully clean up the
contaminated area. On May 30, 2008, Raytheon
submitted its Site Assessment Report to DEP, which addresses the groundwater
contamination located around its St. Petersburg
facility. DEP requested additional information
and on August 29, 2008 Raytheon submitted a Site Assessment
Raytheon then submitted its Remedial Action Plan
(RAP) to DEP on April 29, 2009.
The RAP proposes how the company plans to clean up
the contaminants of concern. On August 28,
2009, DEP requested additional information.
Raytheon responded with a Remedial Action Plan
Addendum on February 25, 2010.
DEP expedited the review of Raytheon's
revised proposed cleanup plan to determine if it meets Florida’s
waste cleanup rules, and if the proposal will successfully clean up the contamination to protect public
health and the environment. On May 26, 2011, DEP issued Raytheon's Remedial Action Plan Approval Order.
What caused the initial contamination and has that source been addressed?
Historical waste management practices at the facility, including an on-site waste sludge pit, have
been identified as possible sources for the initial contamination. E-Systems (the original property
owner) also discovered a leaky 500 gallon petroleum storage tank. The company removed that tank on
September 30, 1994.
What prior assessment and cleanup have been completed since the first identified contamination?
Within months of E-Systems notifying DEP that soil and groundwater pollution existed at the site, as a
result of the waste management practices, the company identified the areas of impacted soil and began
removing more than 100 tons of the contaminated soil in 1992 and 1994. Following the soil removal, E-Systems
began groundwater monitoring and began formulating a plan for further cleanup.
To ensure containment of the contamination, DEP required semi-annual groundwater monitoring to allow any
change in the contaminated area to be identified. The initial area of groundwater contamination identified
in 1998 was stable until 2005. In 2005, the groundwater monitoring data confirmed that the polluted groundwater
was beginning to move away from the site. From 2005 until 2008, DEP required Raytheon to install a series of
additional monitoring wells to reassess where the polluted groundwater was traveling and to revise the mapping
of the contaminated area.
On November 17, 2008, DEP approved Raytheon's
Interim Source Removal (ISR) proposal for
groundwater treatment at the Raytheon site, which
involves a pump-and-treat system. This
pump-and-treat system is designed to reduce the
potential for off-property migration of groundwater
containing the highest concentrations of chemicals
of concern. The
pump-and-treat system has already recovered, cleaned and disposed of approximately 28 million gallons of contaminated groundwater.
DEP issued Raytheon's Remedial Action Plan Approval Order on May 26, 2011. The Approval Order allows Raytheon to initiate a comprehensive cleanup of the contaminants of concern around Raytheon's St. Petersburg facility to state standards.

Why does it take such a long time to clean up the contamination ?
It is critical to first fully determine what contaminants are discovered in the groundwater, where those
contaminants are being found, and at what concentrations, so that a company can formulate a cleanup plan
that will be the most effective and meet all state regulations. It is DEP’s role to ensure that the work
performed will protect the environment as well as the health and safety of the people in the area.
Because Florida’s water quality standards are among the most protective in the nation, completing a
successful assessment and cleanup can take time. Also, different factors can cause complications, such as:
- Evolving data and technology to treat contaminants such as 1,4- dioxane
- Multiple contaminants involved, including 1,4- dioxane
- Developing laboratory test methods to identify 1,4-dioxane at lower concentrations
Return to Top
What effect is this pollution having on our drinking water and the water used from irrigation wells?
- Drinking Water:
Everyone in the area of concern has a safe source of drinking water provided by the City
of St. Petersburg, so your drinking water is not considered to be an issue in this case.
DEP continues to conduct drinking water well surveys to ensure that no new wells have been
constructed. DEP’s waste cleanup rules consider drinking water to be the main potential
“pathway of exposure” to residents. We will continue to evaluate drinking water supplies
to ensure everyone continues to have a safe supply of drinking water.
- Irrigation Wells:
DEP is working with the Florida Department of Health (DOH), as well as other health experts,
to address any potential risk factors from the use of irrigation wells. Three separate and
independent risk evaluations have been conducted regarding impacted groundwater being used
in various irrigation scenarios. Please note that the risk levels in Florida are more protective
than many federal levels and those found in most other state’s rules. Raytheon, the Department,
and the Florida Department of Health have studied the irrigation water data to date and have found
no health concerns at this time associated with the use of this water for typical irrigation
purposes, including recreational activities. The Florida Department of Health also plans to
conduct indoor air quality testing to rule out any exposure risk from indoor air. Outdoor air
sampling has not shown any risk issues.
Return to Top
What public notification has taken place to date and will the state
notify any other residents of this groundwater pollution?
In 2005, DEP provided notice to property owners with known contamination on their property at
that time. These notices were sent to Pinellas County, the City of St. Petersburg, Stone’s Throw
Condominiums, and the Brandywine Apartments.
In 2007 and 2008, Raytheon expanded its sampling into the areas south and west of the plant facility,
primarily on public property. From October 2007 through March 2008, DEP sent 17 additional notice letters
to impacted property owners.
Based on ongoing private well testing for the May 30 submittal to DEP, on April 28, 2008, Raytheon
provided notice that sampling data had shown that six private irrigation wells had elevated levels
of contamination. On April 29, 2008, DEP staff hand delivered notices to those well owners.
State law requires that notice be provided to property owners where well or soil tests confirm
contamination exists. As of May 30, 2008, Raytheon had provided notice of contamination to 13
property owners whose irrigation wells were sampled and the results showed the presence of one
or more of the contaminants above the state’s acceptable standards.
Once Raytheon provided the contaminant plume map in its May 30 report, DEP notified all property
owners within that plume of the groundwater contamination in their area and hosted a community
meeting on July 9th, 2008 at the Pasadena Community Church in St. Petersburg.
In October 2010, Raytheon initiated the required Temporary Point of Compliance (TPOC) notification.
It was published and also sent by certified mail to the 377 property owners within the aerial extent of the plume.
The notice provided a 30 day comment period on the TPOC. Raytheon submitted its TPOC report to the DEP on January 26, 2011 demonstrating that the statutory 30-day comment period expired for the TPOC notice.
Return to Top
What effect could this contaminated groundwater have on Boca Ciega Bay?
The Department is requiring Raytheon to investigate the drainage creek to the west of the facility
which eventually leads to Boca Ciega Bay. The contaminant 1,4-dioxane has been shown to be present
in this surface water body. Raytheon identified potential pathways from
its facility to the water body. The state’s Surface Water standard for 1,4-dioxane is different from
the groundwater standard and allows for a greater concentration of the contaminant. To date, sampling
in the creek has not shown exceedences of the state’s Surface Water standard for either the creek or
the Bay. In addition, Raytheon must compare the levels of contamination found during the plume assessment
to the state’s marine and surface water criteria and perform any work needed to clean up any impacted
water body. At this time, there is no indication that any impacted groundwater has or will ever reach
Boca Ciega Bay.

Behold, the beautiful mistress of the dark! Cassandra Peterson, the Queen of Halloween, created the character of Elvira in 1981, the first episode of Movie Macabre airing in late September of that year. It’s almost hard to believe the show began in L.A. When I was a child we lived in a reconditioned older house that had been made into a duplex, the basement was on our side & it was set up something like another living room. You might be tempted to ask me how that’s relevant in any way, but stick with me for a sec & it will become clear, lol. I would sneak down there at night to watch Movie Macabre, not because I wasn’t allowed to watch, but because it was so late, I wasn’t supposed to be up. I tried to research all across the net exactly when her show became syndicated, but the information does not seem to be available, so I gave up after several hours. I was trying to pinpoint when in time I might have been slipping down into the basement to, half asleep, watch the most epic horror movie hostess of all time. After giving up on the internet answering my question, I asked my mom when we lived in that house (there was only one place with a living room setup in the basement, lol) & she said it was probably the winter of 85/86. That’s probably not when it was syndicated, but when I really noticed her & just in case you’re wondering, I was 5. Wow, that was so long ago & we were living in Missouri back then. A few years back I started playing Smallworlds (you may or may not know that’s my virtual world of choice) & I noticed there was a staff avatar with the name Elvira Smallworlds. I later met that staff memeber, who is from New Zealand & she named that avatar in honor of her favorite horror hostess, who she watched growing up. I can’t help but wonder how old that staff member is & when Elvira became internationally syndicated, but the fact that she is beloved worldwide warms my heart.
(Pics courtesy of Google image search)
She recently released a book (you can see a copy in one of the pics above) with more than 350 pictures, a lot of previously unreleased photos & original commentary. You can find the book here (not affiliated with the publisher, I just love Elvira), it’s $44.95 for just the book & 89.95 for a signed copy. Through the decades she has worn a variety of gothic jewelry pieces & while I have made some selections based on that I’ve also just gone with my own goth heart on this little wishlist from Amazon. You’ll notice that 8 isn’t even jewelry, just a cool jewelry (or other item) holder & well, I like it, lol.

Welcome to Germany, Mr. Buffett.
This isn't the first or only time that Warren Buffett and his conglomerate, Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE:BRK-B) (ETR: BRH), have gone shopping in Germany. But I think this latest buy -- the full acquisition of motorcycle gear retailer Detlev Louis Motorradvertriebs -- is particularly notable for investors.
1. Bullish on Germany (and Europe)
Buffett is known for going against the grain -- and succeeding thanks to this strategy. In 2008, he penned on OpEd in The New York Times titled "Buy American. I Am." At the time, the U.S. was reeling from the massive financial crisis. Just a month prior to Buffett's column, the behemoth investment bank Lehman Brothers had filed for bankruptcy.
Buffett backed his words with actions, loading up Berkshire's portfolio with U.S. stocks, including U.S. financial companies such as banking giant Wells Fargo (NYSE:WFC) and investment bank Goldman Sachs (NYSE:GS). Time has proven Buffett's bullishness right.
Today, we see Europe still struggling to get growth back on track. The clash between Russia and Ukraine have the continent on edge. And the ongoing financial struggle of Greece have caused headaches for members of the EU -- notably the financially strong Germany.
Reporting on the purchase of Detlev Louis, the Financial Times wrote:
[Buffett] told the Financial Times on Friday that Europe is a natural location for what he calls "elephant hunting" -- searching for big acquisitions -- and said that the continent's current economic issues would not dissuade him.
Knowing Buffett's modus operandi, the continent's current situation may not only be "not dissuading" him, it may actually be encouraging him to look for deals in Germany and the rest of Europe.
2. This isn't a new interest in Germany
Also from the FT:
"There is nothing like a deal to get people's attention," Mr Buffett said. "This is smaller than something we would normally do, but it is a door opener. I like the fact that we have cracked the code in Germany."
This suggests that Buffett has been looking for a while for opportunities to buy into the German economy. And that shouldn't be a surprise. Berkshire's business base is loaded up with strong companies that produce quality products, and have leadership positions in their industries. Sound familiar? To me, it sounds a lot like Germany's Mittelstand.
Buffett's words also suggest that this is just the beginning. He's got the code cracked now, so we may soon see Berkshire back in Germany for more -- and next time it may be much larger.
3. For Berkshire investors: Not much here, but...
Berkshire is paying around 400 million EUR for Detlev Louis. For normal human beings, that's a lot of money. For Berkshire, it's peanuts. So for Berkshire investors, it means that there's not going to be much of an impact on the overall company from this deal.
But as noted above, this may be a test case and a way for Berkshire to "dip its toes" in the German and European marketplace before jumping at bigger deals. And because Berkshire's acquisition model is to buy companies and then let them operate without much interference, it can be a very attractive option for many owners. That may make this deal a signal to EU business leaders that Buffett has open ears for sellers from across the pond.
One of Buffett's more famous quotes is "Be fearful when others are greedy, and be greedy when others are fearful." For Berkshire investors, it's great when Buffett is able to put the company's cash to work by buying businesses for the Berkshire portfolio. When he can do that in situations where "others are fearful," it's that much better.

Talking it Over: Remembering Quincy Pioneer Karl Weber
Woods, Wilfred. "Talking it Over: Remembering Quincy Pioneer Karl Weber." Wenatchee World, 10 March 2011.
For 96 of his 98 years Karl Weber of Quincy lived within a half-mile of where he was born on a Babcock Ridge farm southwest of town. He died the other day, leaving a lifetime of memories of that area.
I met him a number of times at meetings, the last time at the dedication of the old church next to the Reiman-Simmons House.
His parents settled in 1902, one of the earlier families. Like many others, they were Volga Germans who had settled along the Volga River, enticed by Russia’s Tsarina Catherine II in the 17th century. But Russian nationalism in the 19th century resulted in their persecution and immigration in large numbers to this country.
They brought their religion, mainly Lutheran; their language, German; their farming skills; and their culture with them. Eastern Washington was peppered with their towns: Krupp, Ritzville, Odessa, Ruff — and Quincy.
They were thrifty, because times were tough as drought decimated the population of the Big Bend. But the Webers didn’t leave, and Karl came to see the Quincy area flourish when the long-awaited irrigation water finally arrived, thanks to Grand Coulee Dam and the Columbia Basin Project.
Yes, there were other attempts to get water, such as the 1914 state bond issue of $40 million to bring water from Lake Wenatchee to Quincy.
There were other Webers active in irrigation affairs. Jake Weber served on the Columbia Basin Commission for years with my father.

Businesses are constantly looking for ways to improve their operations. They use various methods, including introducing new systems and enhanced equipment to keep up with modern industry trends. Businesses also conduct process improvements for safety compliance, providing non-hazardous working environments for their employees.
Businesses that rely on gas to heat a building in the winter or use gas to power electronic equipment should consider procuring a valve manifold box. The box assists companies in improving their gas handling practices and creating a safe working environment for its staff.
Safe Handling and Usage of Gas in the Workplace
Industry owners should be concerned about safety when using gas in a commercial building. They should cater to employees' and clients' safety concerns. Moreover, they must ensure compliance with safety regulations and processes, mitigating possible liability. Noncompliance with safety protocols can cost a business a lot of money in compensation because workplace injuries expose a business to tortious liability. Businesses should use qualified professionals to install any gas systems, gas lines, and valve manifold boxes. The installed valve manifold box, in addition to ensuring efficient gas supply throughout a commercial building, guarantees that the staff handles potentially dangerous gases safely, mitigating potential hazards.
Efficient Gas Distribution Throughout the Building
A valve manifold box serves large buildings and enterprises that rely on gas for easy use in various ways. The box enables a company to run a single gas line into its facility. The business owner can then set up several distribution points, allowing the company to run gas lines to various locations around the building. Rather than using many single distribution channels, which are expensive, a valve manifold box provides a cost-effective and dependable method of distributing gas throughout a building. The boxes also provide some degree of centralized control as gas supply can be managed from specific sections within a building.
Easy Diagnosis and Repair of System Issues
Businesses can prevent frequent repair needs if gas systems and gas lines are installed correctly by professionals. Gas pipes and systems that fail prematurely are frequently the result of a bad installation method. Therefore, if a business owner discovers that a component of the gas system is not functioning properly, they should seek an expert to diagnose and identify the problem before attempting to repair it. Given that a valve manifold box has a single point of divergence for all gas lines, a professional can easily determine which gas line is faulty. Therefore, the valve manifold box setup simplifies system diagnosis and repair, ascertaining its suitability for big commercial buildings.

So Long, And Thanks for All the QE: Chair Yellen Spills the Punch Bowl
by R. Christopher Whalen of the Institutional Risk Analyst
Lots more than meets the eye, per Whalen, with new Fed Chair, increased US borrowing, global debt concerns, etc. And who is really the majority owner of Deutsche Bank? Is it time for the old Dandy Don refrain, "Turn out the lights..the party's over?"
"The proverbial punch bowl has been spilled all over the floor. Not surprisingly, the departure of Janet Yellen as Chair of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System is bad news in many quarters. The speculative policies that helped gun assets prices around the world are now ending – at least for now. An eight year bull market in bonds is also seemingly at a conclusion. Quantitative easing or “QE” went on for years longer than necessary, thus Yellen’s successor, Chairman Jerome Powell, must clean up a particularly large mess."

It's summer, so it's no surprise that my patients are flocking to buy a new flip flops. In the last few years, flip flops have become a fashion statement. Teens and adults alike can be seen wearing them at the beach, the mall, and while strolling around Green Lake.
And therein lies the problem.
Ideal for pool and beach, flip flops were never intended to be worn everywhere and anywhere all day long.
As a Seattle podiatrist, I see many different foot and ankle problems resulting from improper flip flop wear. Not only do patients wear them for extended periods of time but during activities like walking long distances, dancing, or even running.
7 Foot and Ankle Problems Caused By Wearing Flip Flops
Thong-style flip flops can be so risky for feet and ankles due to their lack of arch support, heel support, and cushioning (most flip flops are so thin you may as well walk barefoot). Also, the wearer needs to grip them with curled your toes to keep them on.
When you wear traditional flip flops outside of their intended purpose, you can make existing foot problems worse and cause new ones to develop. We've identified seven foot problems that can occur due to wearing flip flops.
Heel Pain and Plantar Fasciitis
Flip flops have absolutely no arch support. If you have flat feet, you're already prone to heel pain and plantar fasciitis. Wearing flip flops will only make it more likely for you to develop this painful condition.
Bunions and Hammertoes
As mentioned above, due to their design flip flops require gripping with the toes to keep them on. That repeated gripping can cause painful tendinitis and lead to more rapid development of bunions and hammertoes. If you’re at risk for either of these conditions, flip flops can accelerate their development.
Morton’s neuroma is a benign growth of nerves between the third and fourth toes that become irritated when footwear rubs against it. The gripping needed to keep on flip flops can also speed up development of this painful foot condition.
Traditional flip flops have absolutely no cushioning or support. Walking, dancing, or exercising in flip flops can cause stress fractures or hairline cracks in the bones of your feet.
Flip flops allow your foot to move around more than any other shoe, often resulting in painful blisters.
Sprained Ankles and Falls
Because flip flops have no support, any rapid movement when wearing them will increase the likelihood of trips, falls, and ankle sprains.
Cuts and Abrasions
Traditional flip flops are so thin and open to the air the chance of cuts, abrasions, and punctures are much greater than a more cushioned and enclosed sandal or shoe.
6 Tips for Wearing Flip Flops Without Killing Your Feet
Traditional flip flops are fine for the beach or pool. These are the real floppy sandals that give flip flops their name. If your flip flop easily bends in half and twists you'll know you have this type of sandal. If you plan to go for a walk of any distance or another activity you'll need to follow these recommendations:
Buy a flip flop with more support
Many shoe brands have designed flip flops for more active wear. For example, Vionic makes a Unisex Wave Toe Post Sandal that only bends at the ball of the foot, has arch support, and a slight elevation in the heel. These are great for a stroll along the Edmonds waterfront or for short walks around your neighborhood.
Buy a flip flop designed to go the distance
Plan to walk longer distances or go for a short hike? Flip flop-like sandals will be the best choice so you don't twist an ankle. Good examples are sandals made by Naot, Chaco, and Teva. All of these sandals have strapping across the toes and the ankles, good arch support, and allow your toes the freedom to move.
Buy flip flops with a leather footbed
When it comes to flip flops leather is best. It will minimize blisters and other problems with irritation.
Avoid toe overhang
Make sure you buy flip flops that fit. If you toes overhang you'll be much more likely to stub them.
Don't ignore pain or irritiation between your big toe and second toe
Excessive rubbing can cause blisters and lead to infections.
Bring an extra pair of sandals or tennis shoes with you
When you go out, bring an extra pair of sandals with you so you can switch out of your flip flops when activities ramp up.
Suffering from foot pain as a result of wearing flip flops, give us a call at 206-368-7000 or request an appointment online. Most often we can appoint you in less than a week.

More discussion over he radio ban as Austria saw Sergio Perez experience a brake system failure causing an accident and Nico Rosberg also had a brake-by-wire failure in the waning laps that neither teams could warn their drivers about due to the current radio restrictions.
Teams such as Force India and Mercedes have called for a loosening of the radio restrictions in order to tell drivers of impending mechanical failures or warn them of possible issues in order to prevent failures etc.
According to a report at AUTOSPORT, McLaren race director, Eric Boullier, said there were discussions with the FIA on the matter:
“There were discussions between the teams and the FIA, and seeking either more freedom or clarification, and the FIA has been clear they will not change their position.”
So the FIA aren’t keen to change and one has to think that opening the radio ban up a little would create even more of a difficult monitoring situation for the FIA to manage. A comprehensive ban makes it easier to regulate but does it bring an issue of safety into the equation?
Time will tell but as of right now, the radio ban seems set to remain if Boullier read the FIA correctly in recent meetings.

With the 2019-20 regular season getting closer, there are already many eyes looking ahead to the extremely talented 2020 NHL Entry Draft. While it’s still a full season away, Rimouski Océanic’s Alexis Lafrenière looks to be the unanimous number one pick.
As he enters the most important season ahead of his NHL career, Lafrenière looks poised to have a big season. He already has numerous accolades to his name, but it’s safe to say that list will grow this season.
It’s not too early to start getting excited about this prospect. Let’s take a look at what he’s done so far before we dive into what you can expect to see this season. Looking at his past will leave you impressed, but there will be more to come from Lafrenière.
Lafrenière’s Career So Far
Coming into the QMJHL, there were big hopes for Lafrenière. He was coming off a 33-goal, 83-point season in the QMAAA with the Saint-Eustache Vikings and was drafted first overall in the 2017 QMJHL Entry Draft to the Océanic.
He didn’t disappoint in that first season, playing 60 games and putting up an impressive 42 goals and 80 points. He contributed another four goals and seven points in seven playoff games. His performance was enough to win CHL Rookie of the Year, QMJHL Rookie of the Year, and QMJHL Offensive Rookie of the Year. He was also named to the QMJHL All-Rookie Team and First All-Star Team.
His success in that first year didn’t stop there. Internationally, Lafrenière started to make his mark. He participated in the World Under-17 Hockey Challenge, scoring three goals and six points. He was named to the All-Star team in the tournament and helped Canada win a silver medal. He also in the U18 World Junior Championship, collecting four goals and six points in five games.
The 2018-19 season only got better for Lafrenière. Back in Rimouski, the Saint-Eustache native was given an “A” on his jersey and raised the bar. He scored less – still 37 goals – but put up 68 assists and 105 points. He helped lead Océanic on a deeper playoff run too, adding nine goals and 23 points in 13 games. He was named CHL Player of the Year, QMJHL Most Valuable Player, QMJHL Personality of the Year, and was named to the First All-Star Team, once again.
Internationally, Lafrenière continued to show his growth. He participated in the 2018 Hlinka Gretzky Cup, another under-18 tournament, and was named team captain. At 16-years-old, he scored five goals and 11 points in the tournament, helping Canada to the gold medal. His points led the tournament, tied with Russia’s Vasili Podkolzin. He then laced up for the U20 World Junior Championship, collecting one goal in five games, but not playing a large role. That will likely change this year.
Lafrenière & Rimouski Océanic Outlook
After three straight seasons of losing in the first round of the playoffs, Océanic had a solid run in 2018-19, making it to the third round before being swept by the eventual QMJHL and Memorial Cup champions, the Rouyn-Noranda Huskies. They have one of the best goaltenders in the league in recently-drafted Colten Ellis (93rd-overall in 2019 by the St. Louis Blues), who should also take a big step forward this season. Expect another big push from Rimouski in 2019-20.
With Lafrenière entering his third and likely final year with the club, he’ll be looking for a championship. He’ll also be looking to best his 105 point season. But just how high can he go? It wouldn’t be hard to see him at least match his improvement from 2017-18 to 2018-19 (25 points), which would put him at 130. Could he go higher?
The QMJHL single-season record is still Mario Lemieux’s 282-point season in 1983-84 – don’t expect that from the 2020 draft-eligible player. More recently, Sidney Crosby, Océanic’s last first-overall pick before Lafrenière, had 66 goals and 168 points. That would need the current Rimouski star to nearly double his goal totals. This is likely still too much to ask for, but we’re getting closer.
In the last 10 seasons of the QMJHL, Moncton Wildcats’ player Conor Garland has the top-two point finishes in the league. In 2014-15, he put up 35 goals and 129 points, following that up with 39 goals and 128 points. I’d expect Lafrenière to top those totals this season. He already has a 42-goal season under his belt, and his assist numbers appear to be on the rise. He should finish with over 40 goals and in the 130-140 point range this season.
If he can do that, Lafrenière would pass a number of recent stars to be drafted from the QMJHL. Even 2013 first-overall pick Nathan Mackinnon only finished with 78- and 75-point seasons. Nico Hischier, the last number-one pick from the QMJHL back in 2017, finished with 38 goals and 86 points in his lone season with the Halifax Mooseheads.
The mark of 120 points has only been crossed four times in the last decade, with 130 points untouched since 2005-06 when Alexander Radulov had 61 goals and 152 points. Expect Lafrenière to cross both the 120- and 130-point plateaus this season and earn himself some more individual hardware to add to the ever-growing list.
Lafrenière Should Impress Internationally
On the international stage, Lafrenière looks to have a busy year. He was too old for the 2019 Hlinka Gretzky Cup, so he skated in the 2019 World Junior Summer Showcase against some of the top 2019 draft prospects. He held his own against the older players, collecting two assists in his two games played.
For the rest of the season, there will be some big events that should see Lafrenière shine. Next up is the 2020 U20 World Junior Championship that kicks off Dec. 26. He will be looked to take a bigger role at this year’s tournament, building on the one point he got in the 2019 event. He should be a prominent figure of the team’s offence and look to bring a gold medal to Canada.
By the time spring comes, it could get interesting for the left-winger. If Océanic is still in the thick of the playoff race, that is of course where Lafrenière will be. The Memorial Cup will be taking place May 22-31, and there’s no question that’s where the prospect wants to be.
If they see an early playoff exit, we could see the potential number-one pick take the Jack Hughes route – playing in both the U18’s and men’s World Championships. The U18’s take place April 16-26 and the men’s tournament takes place right after, May 8-24. Either way, Lafrenière should be playing hockey deep into May.
On top of these tournaments, the star forward will be on display in the 2019 CIBC Canada/Russia Series Nov. 4 to 14 and the 2020 CHL/NHL Top Prospects Game Jan. 23. If you’re wanting to catch a glimpse of what’s to come, there are lots of opportunities.
2020 NHL Draft: Lafrenière First Overall?
In preseason draft rankings, Lafrenière is the unanimous first-overall choice. But there are already discussions on who could overthrow him and claim the top spot by the time June 26, 2020, comes around.
While I could see Quinton Byfield and possibly Lucas Raymond making a strong case this season, I’m not so sure about the others that TSN’s Craig Button mentions, as of right now. That being said, the draft is still 10 months away and the 2020 NHL Draft is looking extremely strong. Anything is possible.
For now, Lafrenière remains at the top of the ranking boards. If he takes another step forward this season, which he is poised to do, it’s likely that that’s where he’ll remain come draft day.

This is a game created by Bruno Munari found in his book Flight of Fancy.
“Let’s imagine a land flat as a sheet of paper, in fact let’s take a sheet of paper and a black felt-tipped pen with a large round tip and mark some dots at random on the paper, skipping about with the pen held upright.
Let’s look at [the dots] as reference points around which and with which we will establish clusters – connections – formal relationships – using straight lines, curved lines or lines of dots, or whatever. The game consists in inventing lots of different ways of connecting, linking, grouping together these dots.
Let’s get some copies done of this group of dots right away (twenty? twenty-seven? eighteen? thirty-five?…) Here’s the pack of copies which I’m about to place on the table. I take my pen out of the right-hand pocket of my jacket and I start connecting the dots.”
Do you see why I love him so?
note: in this game you do not have to literally “connect” the dots, you can group them, enclose them or link them somehow.

(CNN) -- Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen has pledged to give away most of his fortune to charity.
"[M]y philanthropic efforts will continue after my lifetime," Allen said in a statement Thursday. "I've planned for many years now that the majority of my estate will be left to philanthropy."
Allen's commitment comes as two of America's richest men, Bill Gates and Warren Buffett, have invited fellow billionaires to give half their wealth to charity. The unusual initiative is being promoted through the website, "The Giving Pledge," and is aimed at members of the Forbes 400 -- a list of the richest Americans.
Philanthropist Eli Broad, worth an estimated $6 billion, was the first to make the promise.
During his lifetime, Allen has donated more than a billion dollars through personal giving and his foundation.
The 57-year-old billionaire was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma in November 2009, more than 25 years after he was treated for Hodgkin's disease, a spokesman at his company Vulcan Inc. said at the time.
Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, like the less-common Hodgkin's disease, is a cancer of the lymphatic system. Hodgkin's lymphoma is distinguished from the other by the presence of a certain type of cell.
Allen, who co-founded Microsoft with Bill Gates in the mid-1970s, was that company's chief technologist until he left in 1983, the year he was treated for Hodgkin's lymphoma, according to the website for his Paul G. Allen Family Foundations.
In March, Allen ranked 37th on the Forbes list of the world's billionaires. His net worth was $13.5 billion, according to the magazine.
Among Allen's business interests are the professional sports teams he owns, the NFL's Seattle Seahawks and the NBA's Portland Trail Blazers. He also is part owner of Major League Soccer's Seattle Sounders FC.

So, You Want to Get Bangs? Here's What You Need to Know
With every season change comes that itch for a new celeb-inspired hairstyle. And, at some point, while you were scouring Pinterest for a fresh look, you've likely asked yourself, "Should I get bangs?" But unlike the those floral dresses you can easily return, bangs are much more of a commitment.
Bangs definitely make for a youthful new look (see everyone from Kerry Washington to Taylor Swift) and they thankfully work for curly hair textures, too. But though they appear effortless, the build-up isn't quite as breezy. If you're considering making the cut, we've gathered everything you need to know before you get bangs, so you have no regret.
First off, are bangs even popular in 2020?
As Laura Polko, Sexy Hair ambassador and celebrity hairstylist explains it, bangs can always be in-style if they're a look you genuinely want to try, as long as you've taken the time to consider all the variables that come with them. Polko advises to think of factors like the amount of upkeep (more on that later!), your natural hair texture, and even whether or not those new bangs are going to get in the way during everyday activities—like while working during the day or exercising at the gym
"Bangs are such a personal decision," she says.
Polko explains that while yes, they're "in style," confidence is key to rock bangs in 2020. Be honest with yourself about why you need a change.
"Are you doing it because you truly want to get bangs, and not because you're like, 'I need a change. Cut my hair off!" she asks. "Evaluate the issue that's driving you to switch it up," she says. And if the issue is, you think you'll look fierce with fringe, then go for it.
How often do you need to trim your bangs?
To maintain their length, you'll want to get trims about every two to three weeks, but they're not as high maintenance as you'd expect, as far as your daily routine goes. "Your bangs become their own hairstyle," says Mark Townsend, Dove celebrity stylist. "With styled bangs, a simple ponytail becomes date night-worthy." So, if you only have 10 minutes in the morning to style your hair, it may just be a matter of dedicating most of that time to your bangs, and not as much focus on rest of your coiff.
But, don't cut them yourself.
Ask your salon if they offer free bang trims in between cuts. "I would not recommend trimming your own bangs. People tend to pull too hard," says Townsend. And since they're front and center on your face, it's so noticeable when they're uneven. "If you really get desperate or you don't mind experimenting on your own, invest in a real pair of styling shears (they cut more smoothly than kitchen scissors). And never cut them when they're wet since they'll shrink when they dry."
Bangs work for every hair type—even curly or fine hair.
"Curls make for amazing bangs. Just be sure to keep them much longer than straight hair, since they shrink," says Townsend. As for fine hair? You might worry that bangs will take away from your volume, but that's not the case. "Long, swept over bangs actually make fine hair look thicker," he says.
Do bangs flatter every face shape?
"The most flattering bangs create an oval face shape," says Townsend. So, if you naturally have an ovular face, you have a larger variety of bang styles to choose from. If your face is square or oblong, "You'll want to try A-shaped bangs or longer layers," he says. "The modern style that works on practically anyone are choppy bangs that hit right between your eye and eyebrow," he adds. Bonus: Since choppy bangs feature various lengths, you can get slightly more life out of them in between trims.

This feature originally appeared in the October 2011 (#79) edition of Songlines. Photography [above] by Vincent Limongelli.
Click here to read the Songlines obituary from 2012.
Ravi Shankar The Indian music maestro is now in his 90s, but he’s still an avid fan of new, innovative music, as shown in his choice of artists for Songlines
Ravi Shankar doesn’t need much introduction, especially to readers of Songlines. ‘The godfather of world music’ was how the Beatles’ George Harrison described him. When looking back at his lengthy career, this certainly rings true – he’s done more than any other artist to showcase the music of India to the world. Ravi-ji, as he is affectionately known, has collaborated with everyone from George Harrison and Yehudi Menuhin to Philip Glass and Herbie Hancock.
‘I will keep playing as long as my body lets me, and as long as I’m wanted by my listeners. Because music is the only thing that keeps me going,’ he told The Guardian some years ago. Now 91, performances by the maestro are rare, although he did play at the Barbican in London in July. We’re very fortunate that he’s selected six tracks for Songlines – five of which appear on the CD and a bonus track that can be heard on the podcast. Here he tells us why he’s chosen these particular tracks; how he feels the music scene in India has changed; and how to encourage people to be openminded and explore different types of music.
Music has the power to draw listeners into a common space and time – no matter what their backgrounds, interests and opinions. Audiences come to the music with the mindset that they are going somewhere together and that is a powerful motivator and wellspring for social change. If there is music, there is the possibility of people seeing beyond their immediate wants and needs.
Sadly, I fear that the classical music traditions in India are being lost. Today’s world of media, work, work, work and cell phones make it hard to completely lose yourself to a single dedication. There remains a respect and adoration for the music, but there is not the single-minded dedication to its study.
All I can really say is to listen to everything you can. There are artists who are open and artists who are not, just like audiences. The artists I’ve picked here all have that openness in common. I was thinking recently of a performance I saw of Sting with the Royal Philharmonic at the Hollywood Bowl. I remember thinking that this is an artist with a surprising depth. I was very impressed, and I think it had to do with Sting’s seemingly very open-minded approach to music. It’s a powerful thing, this fearlessness to be open to everything.
These tracks are all inspiring to me, for one reason or another. I will say that I find nearly everything my daughters do to be inspiring. Often it may be because they each approach things so differently from one another, and more importantly, so differently than I do. I find it helpful and enriching to experience new approaches to things you’ve been doing for a long time. All these tracks have that in common for me.
“If there is music, there is the possibility of people seeing beyond their immediate wants and needs”
I remember when Anoushka worked with Karsh [Kale], her being very impressed by his unique restraint. He’s not afraid to use a lot of forces in a minimal way. It creates a very intimate music, so much so that his breathing even becomes part of the orchestration. He is very popular among the youth, although many with more experience in traditional Indian classical music may question this approach. I think it is interesting to take note of how successful he is with that approach, even though I, personally, would not gravitate towards it.

I’ve always loved violin and sitar together. They are very different and very similar at the same time. I remember when I wrote and played with Yehudi Menuhin there was a sense that the two instruments would continuously come together at a sort of point and then diverge, weaving a remarkable pattern. The sound created by the sitar and violin is so compatible yet so different, it’s a perfect improvisational match. We aimed to bring more possibilities in the dialogue between the two instruments. Eventually Yehudi and I found out how powerful this match could be when we played the United Nations concert for Human Rights in 1967. I think Anoushka and Joshua [Bell] have such chemistry here. It will be interesting to see what they will do after time has passed, if they record again later in their careers.
What more can one say about Philip Glass? Of course, I was first drawn to Philip by his rhythmic intricacies inspired by Indian music. There is a lot I like about this particular composition. It’s so short, but it is truly amazing as film music. In film, you have limited time to convey an emotional state to a listener. Here, Philip builds such suspense, such tension. Much is due to his ingenious use of non-Western instruments, in this case the didgeridoo – so inspired. I’m also always impressed with film music that is so precisely able to capture the appropriate mood, and with such efficiency. It is not easy to bring a voice to a director’s vision – as I experienced with Satyajit Ray and the Apu trilogy. But when you can come together and find the harmony between sound and vision – it is magic. Philip is gifted at bringing this magic out. I hope he gets his Oscar one day soon.
Nitin [Sawhney] is a brilliant musician and composer. I hear such joy in this tune. Its simplicity is its real strength, just like daybreak itself. So much energy! The pizzicato in the instrumentation combined with his melodic voice is just perfect. I am never bored when listening to his music. It always surprises me!
Norah’s voice has such range of emotion. I think that is what most impresses her listeners: her ability to cover a vast range with seeming simplicity. She has a rare ability to connect with nearly everyone. She is also very intuitive as a collaborator, and of course so is Herbie (who I’ve worked with on several occasions). Both are gifted at seeing where two musical minds must find each other in order to produce something truly memorable. They are wonderful together. And Joni Mitchell is quite a songwriter, so to hear their interpretation of her tune is really something special.
Touring with Anoushka has been one of my life’s great joys. A father often sees his daughter grow up from some distance. This is normal and there is certainly joy and pride in it, however, when on stage with Anoushka, it’s like I’m experiencing her grow as we experience and interact with the music. I am very fortunate to have had this opportunity.
When I hear this track, ‘Red Sun’, I hear Anoushka’s youth in the best way. There is so much energy and experimentation that I think it comes from a try-anything approach. It is something that one sometimes finds harder to achieve as you get older. It’s something I try to be aware of in my own music and when listening to others. Innovation is the only way to keep music alive and here, there is a bold compositional sense, pushing to get what she wants out of conducting. I also admire Anoushka’s drive to bring together very strong and diverse traditions to create something totally new. It isn’t easy but I see her relish in the challenge here, which, of course, makes me happy and reminds me how important challenges are to music.”
Five tracks chosen by Ravi Shankar
‘Daybreak’ from London Underground (Positiv-ID)
Ravi says he never gets bored listening to Sawhney’s music. This track features the classically trained Indian vocalist Faheem Mazhar.
‘Avalanche’ from Cinema (Six Degrees Records)
The UK born and US raised musician has collaborated with Ravi’s daughter Anoushka. Ravi describes Kale’s music as being ‘very intimate’.
‘Car Ride’ from Undertow (Orange Mountain)
Ravi is a big admirer of Glass and his film music, such as this track where he manages to create a great feeling of suspense and tension.
‘Variant Moods: Duet for Sitar & Violin’ from At Home With Friends (Sony Music)
‘The sound created by the sitar and violin is so compatible yet so different, it’s a perfect improvisational match’, says Ravi.
‘Red Sun’ from Rise (Angel Records)
‘There is so much energy and experimentation,’ Ravi says of this track by his sitar-playing daughter Anoushka. He describes touring with her as being one of the great joys of his life.

In a guest blog first published by the William Temple Foundation, Greg Smith reflects on work at the sharp end of austerity Britain, and theological approaches to change.
“I’ve been working for 38 years, never been out of a job. I want a job – I left the last one because I had to for my own mental health, and now I find I have to wait 32 weeks for benefits. So the money I’ve saved has to last until then.”
“I only get £50 a week, how can you manage on that? We need jobs, more jobs in the town!”
(Unemployed men, Blackpool)
Stories like these are commonplace in conversations that church and charity workers are having every day with people who are at the sharp end of austerity Britain. The accounts of destitution, sanctions, stress and despair captured hauntingly in Ken Loach’s film I, Daniel Blake bring tears to the eyes and angry red colour to the cheeks of even the most hardened and cynical citizens of this land.
Over recent years the whole welfare benefit system, which is the legacy of the welfare state policies developed by William Temple and his circle of friends in the 1940s, has been undergoing radical change. Some of the change could be seen as appropriate modernisation and simplification of what has become an extremely complex system that is scarcely fit for purpose in today’s economy. Policy makers talk of the need to eradicate the culture of dependency and “making work pay” – political messages which play well among “just about managing” voters. Yet it has become increasingly clear that welfare reform has inflicted casualties, and the implementation of key policies is now looking more and more chaotic. In response to growing protests and computer glitches the implementation programme is repeatedly delayed and detailed regulations are tweaked.
At the heart of the welfare reform programme is the national roll-out of Universal Credit, a single monthly benefit that replaces at least six individual conditional benefits that could be claimed by economically inactive and poorly paid households and paid to them typically every fortnight. The key changes are that applications will normally have to be made online and benefits will be paid into a bank, building society or credit union account a month in arrears. This means claimants will need to adopt careful new approaches to budgeting, including ensuring rent is paid to the landlord by the claimant.
If all this is not difficult and stressful enough, many claimants have limited IT and literacy skills, experience of long-term poverty, together with complex needs and chaotic lives as a result of mental health or addiction issues. In areas where Universal Credit has been rolled out there is growing evidence of bureaucratic problems – Lancaster Citizens Advice for example reports delays, mistakes, and sanctions leading to destitution and threatened evictions.
So what was the thinking behind the policy of Universal Credit? It was the brainchild of Iain Duncan Smith, a practising Roman Catholic, who seemed genuinely moved some years before he came into government by his “Easterhouse epiphany” when the late Bob Holman showed him round the neighbourhood on a Glasgow housing scheme. Convinced that people needed to be brought out of multi-generational deprivation and that the key to this was work and taking personal responsibility, the Universal Credit scheme was designed.
There are probably three ways we could seek to frame an understanding of the present state of play.
- Karl Popper talked about the way many human decisions have unintended consequences and suggested that policies should be treated as hypotheses to be tested, and then iteratively revised. In this account maybe the government had good intentions but by now the policy as a hypothesis seems to have been falsified by failure, yet might still be reformed.
- A more classical Marxist approach could argue that current welfare reform policy is a deliberate strategy to make people impoverished and destitute as a way of disciplining them into work. With the stagnation of wages and the growth of low paid, part-time, precarious work Universal Credit could be seen within a raft of policies that are a roaring success for the capitalist classes.
- There is a third option, which in a way is more theological and might fit more easily into the Temple tradition. On this account welfare reform and the current universal credit chaos is a logical consequence of the philosophy and ideology behind it. Neo-liberalism’s project, pursued by most nation states over the last four decades, involves transferring risk and expense from the state on to the individual. In Maggie Thatcher’s slogan “there is no such thing as society.” Here we see a profoundly erroneous and unchristian understanding of human nature, to combat which we need to address the underlying values of our society as Justin Welby has sought to do in his new book Re-imagining Britain reviewed appreciatively on this site by Chris Baker.
Among these explanations you pays your money and takes your choice. However, if you are a claimant on Universal Credit you have next to no money as you encounter delays, arbitrary decisions and possibly sanctions. And in destitution when you go to the food bank, if you’re lucky you can make your choice between baked beans or tins of tuna, packets of pasta or packets of rice.
What, then, are we in the churches and communities called to do? In my work for Together Lancashire supporting churches and communities in tackling poverty together, we seek to offer education and to support claimants in a variety of ways, as well as campaigning for change and reflecting theologically on the stories we hear.
For instance, the Genesis account of creation begins with chaos brought into order, first of all by the shedding of light on the universe. Rapid changes in the benefit system is a scenario of chaos and complexity that government is failing to bring into order. Yet the mathematics of chaos and complexity theory suggests sometimes as a result of a small change in certain parameters something beautiful and hopeful may emerge (the so-called “butterfly effect”). Perhaps it could be new co-operative ventures regenerating sustainable local economies and providing work as in the Preston model, perhaps gracious generosity between friends and neighbours such as the emerging Common Change movement, or perhaps a welfare policy based on unconditional basic income for every citizen, which has Christian underpinnings (see Malcolm Torry’s book), would be simpler to administer, cheaper to the public purse, and would prevent anyone from slipping into total destitution.
This blog was originally written for the William Temple Foundation.
Church Action on Poverty is campaigning to ensure that Universal Credit does not cause hunger and desitution as part of End Hunger UK.

Shared Food & Fitness Trackers
MPLSKEN is a SparkPeople Motivator!
OK, a lot of my info on this page is outdated. But, today (5/9/2014) is important, so I thought I'd make a quick update. Four years ago today, I joined SparkPeople. Thanks to that decision, I lost 90 pounds in less than a year, for free and without any potions or pills. Another year later, I would fall in love with biking and end up being in the best physical shape of my life. Other than a few pounds that I gained after my bike accident late last summer (which are dropping off now that I can ride again), I've kept the weight off all this time while continuing to use SparkPeople. Results obviously vary and I'm not saying SparkPeople will be a great fit for everyone, but I highly recommend checking it out if you are trying to lose weight or get healthier in general. However, the main point is, every time you make a choice to take action or inaction regarding something, you can potentially change the course of your life, so choose wisely.
- - - OLD STUFF, SOME STILL RELEVANT - - -
Looking to get back into shape this year!
Edit: 6 months later, I'm not really "looking" to get back into shape anymore... I am GETTING back into shape!
Edit: almost another 6 months later, I'm pretty much where I want to be weight-wise. I lost a total of 80 pounds in just under 9 months. After that, I had a BodPod test done and discovered that I had reached a healthy body fat level. So, I slowed down and took the following three months to maintain and lose the last five pounds of my goal. During that time, I realized that maintenance can be just as hard as losing weight, if not harder! I have a feeling that continued maintenance is going to be a beast, but I'm confident that I can do it.
My November 2012 goals are to:
1) maintain my weight loss (this has been more difficult than I expected now that I find myself at a lot more events and get-togethers; however, so far, I have been successful - I made it through the whole summer!). I joined a gym and plan on getting there every day to solidify the gym habit by the time it starts snowing!
2) focus more on work and work towards getting caught up so that it doesn't stress me out so much. I don't want my work-related stress to undo any of my health-related successes. I played a lot during the summer, so now it's time to get down to business! I made progress towards this goal in September, but probably set my expectations too high for what could be accomplished in one month. I didn't do well on this in October. I still need to find a good balance that works for me.
3) make a doctor's appointment for a regular checkup/physical and to see where to go from here (yes, this was my goal all summer long, this month I gotta make it happen!!!). I did see a doctor in September, but it was for an eye issue rather than a regular checkup. But, I got some assurance that I'm in good shape!
4) get a new driver's license. This was a reward I was going to give myself about 6 months ago, and I keep putting it off. In July, I actually made in into the DMV, but there was over an hour wait, so I left. My license isn't expiring, but I no longer look like the person photographed 90+ pounds ago.
5) get another BodPod assessment done.
✓ Lose 30 lbs in 1st 10 weeks!
✓ Lose 20 lbs in 2nd 10 weeks!
✓ Lose 15 lbs in 3rd 10 weeks! (met goal early)
✓ Lose 7 lbs in following 5 weeks! (met goal early)
✓ Lose 13 lbs in following 10 weeks! (took extra time with this goal during last 5 lbs since I had a BodPod test indicating I was already at a healthy body fat level; met goal a week before my SparkVersary)
My maintenance goals are located above in my 'About Me' text.
Tracking, tracking, tracking.
I track everything I eat and my exercise. I drastically reduced my caloric intake and focus on less processed foods. Slim Fast shakes and bars also help in a pinch (if I don't have time for a whole meal or I need a chocolate fix).
I exercised as little as I could when started out on SparkPeople, but after losing 50 lbs, I slowly started to ramp up my exercise. I enjoy walking outside and hiking, but the treadmill and elliptical machine worked well for the winter months. Now that it is nice out again, I really love biking on the trails in Minneapolis.
41 year old living in Minneapolis, MN with partner of 19 years. I love riding my bike, technology, games and travel (but haven't done much of the latter lately).

Vanessa Valenti and Yglesias link to this upcoming study that shows that men who abuse women basically think it's normal to do so:
"Social norms theory suggests that people act in a way that they believe is consistent with what the average person does," adds Denise Walker, research professor of social work and co-director of the Innovative Programs Research Group.
The research looked at 124 men who were enrolled in a larger treatment intervention study for domestic violence. The men, all of whom had participated in violence against a partner in the previous 90 days, were asked to estimate the percentage of men who had ever engaged in seven forms of abuse.
These included throwing something at a partner that could hurt; pushing, grabbing, or shoving a partner; slapping or hitting; choking; beating up a partner; threatening a partner with a gun; and forcing a partner have sex when they did not want to.
Data on the percentage of men who actually engaged in these abusive behaviors were drawn from the National Violence Against Women Survey, funded by the National Institute of Justice and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
In every case the men vastly overestimated the actual instances of abuse. For example, the participants on average thought 27.6 percent of men had thrown something with the intent of hurting a partner while the actual number is 11.9 percent. Similarly, they believed 23.6 percent of men had forced their partner to have sex involuntary compared to 7.9 percent in reality.
Both Yglesias and Vanessa see the hand of pop culture at work:
This suggests that media portrayals of violence against women could be very influential in creating the context for actual opinion, and that building strong social norms around how these things are treated in movies, ads, and on TV is very important.
Yeah, perhaps. But I suspect a culprit closer to home. One reason dudes who abuse think it's normal may be because they've grown up in a house where it actually is normal. Thoughts?

How to Maintain Your Mental Health as a Remote Worker
By offering greater control over when and where tasks get done, remote work often promotes job satisfaction and a better work-life balance. But staying away from office politics or eliminating a daily commute doesn’t magically translate into remote workers being exempt from stress and mental health issues.
“When it comes to mental health, most of the problems I see with my remote working clients revolve around anxiety and depression,” says career counselor and former psychotherapist Aricia Shaffer, MSE. “On the depression side, that can look like a change in sleep and eating patterns, a loss of interest in things, and feeling like things will never improve. On the anxiety side, it looks like fear of making a mistake, compulsive behaviors, and obsessive thoughts.”
While everyone has an occasional bout of the blahs or a lack of concentration, watch for chronic feelings and thoughts that could be indicative of a greater problem. And work to maintain your mental health as a remote worker with these strategies.
Separate private and professional spheres.
All workers need time to step away and recharge. Doing so, however, can be challenging when your workplace and home are the same.
“One of the big problems I find with my remote workers is that they are spread out all over the house, so their sanctuary becomes filled with headaches and deadlines, conflicts and demands,” Shaffer says. “In addition, they wind up working 24/7. If you can designate a space to work and then close the door at the end of your workday and enjoy the rest of your time—and home—it can do wonders for your mental health. If you can’t seem to shut down your brain, try to make notes so you can address the issue later instead of prolonging your workday indefinitely.”
Don’t equate “remote worker” with “hermit”! Connecting with others eases loneliness that sometimes comes with remote work, lifts spirits, and generates a sense of belonging. Look for regular ways to get a “people fix,” perhaps by volunteering, taking a class, spending some days at a coworking space, or setting a weekly lunch date with friends. Likewise, keep in touch with others from your company through emails, video chats, and social platforms as a reminder that you’re part of something larger than your own home office.
Some remote workers find that the presence of a furry “colleague” also brightens their day. While not exactly a substitute for human interaction, a pet can provide mood-enhancing companionship.
Treat yourself right.
“The same things that help our bodies stay healthy can help our minds stay healthy,” Shaffer says. “Working at home, it’s tempting to grab a quick, unhealthy meal. Putting together meals ahead of time can help you stay on track so that you’re providing yourself nourishment rather than just beating back the hunger.”
Other positive actions include:
- Exercising regularly
- Getting outdoors for fresh air
- Taking breaks throughout the day
- Maintaining a consistent, adequate sleep schedule
Seek help if necessary.
Finally, if these efforts don’t do the trick, consider reaching out for professional help. Just like prolonged physical symptoms should not be ignored, red flags signaling potential mental health dangers deserve proper attention.

Surfer Skylar Peak fights to preserve old Malibu on City Council
Tooling along Pacific Coast Highway in his GMC pickup, Skylar Peak scans the break at Surfrider Beach. Bella, his golden retriever-Labrador, is leashed in the truck bed, her mohawk shaded by a red, white and blue surfboard bearing the message VOTE PEAK.
As he pulls into the beach parking lot, Peak shouts "Waddup?" and waves a shaka sign at some surfer pals. In a few hours, the Malibu native will paddle out. But at the moment, he has more on his mind than nose-riding.
In April, this celluloid ideal of a waterman became the youngest person ever elected to Malibu's City Council. His supporters are looking to Peak, who turned 28 this month, to help preserve what's left of their community's rural flavor. He freely voices opinions such as: "I'm not that stoked about development."
With the prospect of more than 1 million square feet of construction looming and with the sewer-versus-septic battle continuing to rage, Malibu stands at an environmental and cultural crossroads. Some residents view development as vital to the city's economic health. Others fret that their laid-back beach town is turning into Rodeo Drive west, with posh boutiques supplanting local shops that can't afford rising rents.
Big-money projects are popping up all over town. Software mogul Larry Ellison is building two restaurants near the pier. A Whole Foods is coming to the Civic Center. A developer has proposed a 146-room luxury hotel on 28 vacant acres at Malibu Canyon Road and PCH.
"He'll find out very quickly with this group that's in there ... it's join us or go out by yourself," said Jefferson "Zuma Jay" Wagner, another surfer who won a council seat on a similar slow-growth pledge but did not seek reelection.
Flashing a toothy grin under sun-tipped strawberry-blond hair, Peak swaggers into Malibu Kitchen for a late-morning coffee. Emerging in his faded black T-shirt and green sweat pants, he gives a surfer's stink eye to the Lanvin and Missoni boutiques across the Malibu Village shopping center on Cross Creek Road.
"They don't belong here," he said.
A third-generation resident, Peak hungers for the cowboy charm and what he calls the magic of the Malibu his grandparents knew, where people rode horses at surf's edge and open space ran as far as the eye could see.
He grew up carving waves and cycling the chaparral-covered hillsides of Malibu. He attended the local public schools and graduated from Pepperdine University in Malibu.
"I didn't want to go," he said. "I wanted to surf."
But his father, Dusty Peak, an electrician, surfer and water-quality activist, insisted.
As was his dad, Skylar is an affable fixture in town. At Malibu Country Mart, Kate Pritchett, a lifelong friend, hugs him. At Malibu Seafood, Bonnie Decker, whose family homesteaded in Malibu in the 1860s, puts Peak's salmon lunch order on his tab.
He made national headlines in 2008 as one of two watermen tried on misdemeanor battery charges after mixing it up with a paparazzo who tried to photograph actor Matthew McConaughey near Point Dume, Peak's home surf break.
The case ended in a hung jury, and Peak remains unrepentant. "I'll always fight for the right to privacy," he said.
Since then, Peak has honed his image, serving on the board of the Malibu Boys and Girls Club and as a local parks commissioner. He said he would love to see wealthy Malibuites buy up remaining developable land and create small parks or open space.
He expresses dismay that the canyons where he and friends used to roam are now dotted with mega-mansions, and that roads that once went on for miles are gated.
The old-Malibu way of life was associated with now-departed businesses, like Hows Market at the western end of town, where, locals recall, a child who forgot his money could buy a doughnut on credit and clerks asked regulars: "How's your horse?"
A community like Malibu, with so many issues swirling, would be a serious challenge for any civic leader, said Glenn Hening, creator of the Surfrider Foundation, a nonprofit group that works to protect the world's oceans and beaches.
Hening said Peak and his surfer friends have a reputation for being hostile to outsiders at Point Dume. "Somehow they never quite learned what the word 'aloha' means, even though they live and surf in one of the most beautiful places on Earth," Hening said. "Let's hope that kind of territorialism is not reflected in the votes Skylar casts on issues confronting his community."
But others say Peak's fresh perspective has buoyed Malibuites in search of an advocate. "It takes somebody with a different point of view to represent the younger crowd of Malibu who are growing up and having children," said Gregorio Stephenson, executive chef at Nobu.
John Sibert, 75, a retired university professor who was reelected to the council in April, is excited about having "some younger energy" on the panel. But a newcomer like Peak, Sibert cautioned, needs to recognize that "we're probably the most complicated little city of 13,000 in the country."

A. – STAIN-AND-CLEAR FINISHING:
1 - Finish the door with good quality solventborne or very low waterborne polyurethane.
Note: If a pre-stain sealer was not used, waterborne finishes increase the potential of veneer splits, highlighted joints, grain raise and volume.
2 - All six sides must be finished prior to final installation to comply with warranty
3 - Natural grain and color variations are normal and not considered manufacturing defects
B. – PAINT FINISH:
1 - Seal door with a quality primer, remove the loose fibers with # 400 grit sandpaper and apply two top coats of an interior polyurethane or acrylic latex paint.
2 - All six sides must be finished prior to final installation to comply with warranty.
C – INSTALLATION:
1 - The utility or structural strength of the doors must not be impaired in fitting to the opening, in applying hardware, in preparing for lights, louvers, plants-on or other detailing.
2 - Use a minimum of three hinges for 1-3/8” and 1 3/4” doors up to 84” in height and four hinges for all doors over 84” up to 96” in height.
3 - Clearances between door edges and door frame should be minimum of 1/16” on the hinge edge. For latch edge and top rail, the clearance should be 1/8” (+0”, -1/16”).
4 - All hardware locations, preparations for hardware and methods of hardware attachments must be appropriate for the specific door construction. Templates for specific hardware preparation are available from hardware manufacturers.
5 - Pilot holes must be drilled for all screws that act as hardware attachments. Threaded-tothe-head screws are preferable for fastening hardware to nonrated doors and are required on fire-rated doors.
Cleaning and touch-up:
1- Inspect all wood stile and rail doors prior to hanging them on the job. Repair noticeable marks or defects that may have occurred from improper storage and handling.
2 - Field touch-up shall include the filling of exposed nail or screw holes, refinishing of raw surfaces resulting from job fitting, repair of job inflicted scratches and mars, and final cleaning of finished surfaces. Field repairs and touch-up should be the responsibility of the installing contractor.
3 - When cleaning door surfaces, use a nonabrasive commercial cleaner designed for cleaning wood door or paneling surfaces that does not leave a film residue that would build up or affect the surface gloss of the door finish
Adjustment and maintenance:
1 - Ensure that all doors swing freely and do not bind in their frame. Adjust the finish hardware for proper alignment, smooth operation and proper latching without unnecessary force or excessive clearance.
2 - Review with the owner/owner’s representative how to periodically inspect all doors for wear, damage and natural deterioration.
3 - Review with the owner/owner’s representative how to periodically inspect and adjust all hardware to ensure that it continues to function as it was originally intended.

How To Make Money Blogging
(secrets of the blog business)
You may have heard of bloggers living the life of their dreams – folks who have cracked the code to freedom by making great passive incomes from their seemingly humble blogs…
Here’s the real deal with what I call the “blog business”.
Whenever people ask me what I do for a living, they find it hard to comprehend how a guy in his mid-20s can run an actual business from pieces of writing.
“Oh, you write words for a living? So you’re a struggling author huh. Must be tough.”
Pardon their ignorance as they scratch their heads in amusement.
Blogging as a business is as real as any brick-and-mortar business – in fact it’s wayyy better. When you hear the term “blog business”, two things should come to your mind immediately: PASSIVE INCOME and DIGITAL REAL ESTATE.
WHY you should start a Blog Business
(and make thousands of dollars while you sleep)
These are the reasons that drove me into the blog business – and why I really wanted to figure out how to make money blogging.
I’m sure it will be the same for you if you’re already reading this.
Freedom is one of the two most important pillars of happiness (the other being Health). Well, at least to me.
Technology has given our generation tremendous opportunities to build the life of our dreams and achieve freedom.
Owning and running online businesses means you are completely location independent. You get to design your own life and work whenever/wherever you want.
Take myself for example – sometimes I work 12-hour days and other times I work 4-hour weeks. Up to you, homie.
The greatest thing is this: whether you’re in Asia, West Africa, or East Coast of the United States, you can succeed as long as you put in the work. Isn’t it empowering?
If you want to be rich, the most important factor in choosing a business is scalability.
Simply put, can you scale your business up by 2X, 10X, or even 100X… and someday be earning 100X what you’re earning today – with the same amount of work?
You see, the top 1% knows something the 99% don’t. That is: they make their assets work for them (generating income as they play golf), instead of trading their limited time for money.
A blog or website is like digital real estate. In the past, passive income is only reserved for the wealthy who had the means to invest in real estate, and earn rent while doing nothing.
Luckily for you, the internet has democratized things a little and you’re given the chance to invest in “digital real estate”. Think of every web-page as a piece of real estate that can generate passive income for you. Best thing is, the longer it sits there, the more its value increases.
Quick example: Say you’re teaching English to foreign students.
Your time is worth $30 per hour. In order to make 10X your current income, you’d have to increase your teaching hours or number of students by 10X. And if you decide to take a 6-month vacation on the beaches of Cancun, you will lose half a year of income.
What if you packaged your teaching materials into a digital course and put it up online on your own website? You’re not limited by your geographical boundaries as you now have access to foreigners in every corner of the planet. Every single day, your blog works for you by attracting new students who sign up and purchase your course. The process is automated and you will still make money every day even if you accidentally get into trouble in Cancun and locked up in prison for 6 months (lol).
3) VERY LOW OVERHEADS
Thanks to the Internet’s democratization of business, anybody can start a business at home in their pajamas (underwear optional). Well, unless you’re living somewhere without an internet connection, which means you’re a big fucking liar since you’re reading this.
The monetary cost of setting up an online blog business is very, very low (which leads to extremely high profit margins). All you need to get started is your time and energy.
Later on in this article, I will issue my recommendations for cheap and easy services that you can use to set up your first website today.
4) YOU GET TO BE YOURSELF
Some people call this a “lifestyle business”, while others call this “You, Inc.”.
I prefer to just call this a “blog business”.
We are all referring to the same thing – which is the incredible way you can make money just by being yourself. You don’t have to tie a noose around your neck, commute two hours to sit in a 5-by-5-foot cubicle, and pretend to be someone you’re not for 9 hours a day – all in exchange for a paltry paycheck.
In the blog business, you make a living just by being you. How many people in this world can say that they are truly free to do what they want?
While I’m focusing on blog authors and website owners, the same principle applies to YouTube creators or Instagram celebrities.
You only answer to yourself. BUT! You can only rely on yourself.
My favorite part is that there is zero censorship. I can use profanities, and tweet about the most politically incorrect ideas – and nobody can fire my ass.
HOW to go about starting a Blog Business
The first thing is to figure this out: What are you reasonably good at and/or reasonably passionate about?
You can start by thinking: What are the things that people usually come to you for?
Maybe people always come to you to ask for help with learning the guitar.
Perhaps they like to seek your advice on which camera/laptop/IT gadgets they should buy.
Or maybe your expertise lies in formulating cooking recipes or teaching others how to get in shape.
It could be anything. LITERALLY ANYTHING.
Here’s the general outline of profiting from a blog business:
Step A) Provide FREE content (make sure it’s fabulous)
You want to attract readers to your website and establish yourself as an authority or expert in your chosen niche.
E.g. create tutorials for beginners who want to learn how to play the guitar, publish review articles on the newest IT gadgets or industry trends, share basic cooking recipes or workout/nutrition plans
Step B) Sell a PAID product or service (make sure it’s even better and worth paying for)
A percentage of readers who have consumed your free content will be dying to learn more. That’s when it’s time to monetize your website.
E.g. develop a comprehensive guitar course for advanced learners, offer IT-related consultations, put together an in-depth e-Book on cooking or fitness
EVERYONE SHOULD BE A CONSULTANT
It is my belief that everyone should become a consultant. There’s definitely SOMETHING that people will pay you for.
I’m sure you can think of an area where you either have unique knowledge or experience in. Sometimes you might not even know that it is valuable to others.
WHAT to sell or monetize
After giving away tons of free value to your target audience in the form of free articles, mini guides, or anything that is remotely educational/informational/interesting to them…
You have established trust and it’s easy-peasy to get some of them to part with their money.
You can sell:
- Products (e-Books, digital courses etc)
- Services (consulting via Skype, Email etc)
There are other methods to make money from your blog if you don’t feel confident enough yet to create your own product. These are not my preferred methods, but they work for many other online entrepreneurs.
- Affiliate Marketing (Simply put, you include referral links to the guitars/IT gadgets/kitchen equipment/health products that you write about and make a small commission when your readers purchase them. Amazon, eBay, and most major marketplaces have affiliate programs in place. Or you could approach the company that sells the products you wish to promote and arrange something among yourselves.)
- Advertising (You can sell advertising spaces on your blog through Google Adsense or other similar programs. Or you could become famous enough one day that companies would pay you to write sponsored posts about their stuff.)
The main reasons why I don’t rely on affiliate marketing or advertising to make my online dollars are:
1) They usually have very small margins, so in order to make any decent income you need to have VERY HIGH sales volume.
2) You don’t control the terms & conditions as they are dictated by the companies running the affiliate marketing or advertising programs. For instance, they may reduce your commission percentage anytime or ditch their affiliate program altogether. Netflix and PayPal used to run generous affiliate programs when they first started, but once they grew to become dominant players they shut down the programs since they no longer needed you to tell people who they were.
WHERE to set up your blog or website
To set up a simple blog (like this one you’re reading now), I unreservedly recommend HostWithLove.
Over the past years, I have had many websites and thus have first-hand experience with plenty of hosting providers. They include big names like Web Hosting Hub, DreamHost, and Bluehost.
None of them has been as good AND as cheap as HostWithLove.
If you want to know what’s the deal with some of these major hosting companies, just google “EIG hosting” and read about how screwed up the industry is these days.
Or just save your time and go with HostWithLove.
If you would like to set up an online store where you can sell physical products (yes I know eCommerce is not within the scope of this article but I will explain in the next section), the best option is to go with Shopify.
As you can see, it costs almost nothing to start your own website – so nearly all your revenue would be pure profit.
PUTTING EVERYTHING TOGETHER…
Here’s the actual process of how I rake in the bucks 24 hours a day, 365 days a year – whether I’m sleeping, dining, or lounging by a beachfront resort.
I will give you four examples of blog businesses I run.
This is usually how you would make money blogging: Produce clear and well-written articles that are useful or interesting to your target audience. Let Google do its job of directing traffic to your websites, while you let the magic internet money roll in.
All of these scenarios below play out every day – 24/7/365. Your blog business is always open for business and it doesn’t need a rest day.
The general flow you will see is:
Someone finds an article I wrote -> likes my stuff -> hangs around reading more of my stuff-> eventually purchases a product or service I sell.
1 – Soccer betting e-Book and consulting services
Andy is tired of losing at soccer betting and searches for a way to beat the bookies. He stumbles upon my article about how to make money with soccer betting and finds it interesting. Since Andy likes what he reads, he is drawn in. He continues reading my other posts about successful soccer betting techniques, and is absolutely blown away by my betting systems.
Andy finally decides to give it a shot and buys my best-selling e-Book that has been read by people from more than 50 countries or he may sign up directly for my consulting services here.
2- Cryptocurrency trading/investment consulting services
Paul has recently been hearing from his friends a lot about bitcoin and blockchain technology. He wonders whether it is really possible to make money from cryptocurrencies, and discovers my article via Google about how to buy bitcoin.
After using my affiliate links to successfully and safely purchase his first bitcoin, Paul knows I am trustworthy and decides to read what I have to say about cryptocurrency trading strategies. He is hooked when he finds out I have a track record of predicting the next big crypto asset.
Paul wants to be a rich son of a gun so he quickly sends me an email to sign up for my crypto consulting services.
3 – Erotica e-Book
Rachel is feeling horny after watching the latest installment of the Fifty Shades trilogy with her girlfriends on a girls’ night out. She is in the mood for some erotic literature so she tries to search for some college girls fiction.
She is in luck since I have published a short story for free here.
Rachel loves what she reads so she knows she wouldn’t be disappointed if she purchases my e-Book which contains 3 more original tantalizing stories.
4 – Men’s fashion accessories store
This is an example of an eCommerce store (set up with Shopify) that sells physical products. However, blogging is also a way to direct traffic to such a store.
Justin is searching for men’s necklaces and finds my interesting blog post about celebrities and their necklaces. He gets curious about the necklaces I sell and hangs around, reading another article about the special meanings behind dog tag necklaces.
Justin ends up buying a dog tag necklace as well as a spinner ring after learning about its amazing benefits. He is now a big fan of my men’s fashion accessories store.
A blog business is an excellent way for the entrepreneurial-minded person to build a life of freedom. A life that you can live on your own terms.
Unfortunately not many people are getting into this space despite the tremendous potential that exists here. Everyone seems to think that the only way to make money online is through some fancy app like YouTube or Instagram. WRONG!
Building your business on a social media platform is not ideal as you don’t own the platform. These platforms will not be popular forever. Trends come and go – the fashionable app today will be the Friendster and MySpace of tomorrow, as I’ve learned in life thus far.
Don’t be distracted by the noise.
Your own personal blog, on the other hand, will always live on. The words you pen will be forever immortalized. It’s a little legacy that you create and own. Start building your digital real estate today so you can savor the fruits of your labor down the road and enjoy your life.

My work draws on the rich cultural and mythological histories of animals to create a new language about our relationships with nature and each other. The work is intended to elicit visceral reactions in the viewers, and to raise questions about human nature. Some animals generate feelings of fear, others of warmth and companionship. By pairing them with physical representations of human emotions, such as loneliness and the desire to belong, I create stories about individuality and humanity.
With the choice of artificial materials composing organic animal form, I am both glorifying and negating nature. By transforming animals into objects, I am addressing the coexistence of our fascination with and exploitation of them. We love them, but we destroy them. We admire their primality, but we try to control them.
This work visually addresses the bipolar disposition of humanity towards nature, whether that is internal or external.

How to address malpractice in sports: The issue of compliance
Dolf Segaar of CMS Netherlands examines some of the ways in which malpractice in sports is handled from a societal and legal perspective.
Sports enable individuals to exercise their bodily talents. They galvanise communities, energise people, are an outlet for communal sentiments, shape national and local identities, produce shared stories, and gather people of all kinds of backgrounds for a common cause. Sports are also good for drawing attention and are increasingly a source of income, if not financial richness.
The financial factor however, has become a threat for sports as well. While young people all over the world are running across fields, wrestle, jump, skate, play, compete to enjoy themselves, we witness more and more financial malpractices, forms of abuse and exploitation, the influence of drugs, corruption, sexual abuse, and other practices that spoil the game.
The question is how to respond to such malpractices. Who should respond? Should that be governmental institutions like courts, or should sports organizations be the ones to take responsibility? And what kind of rules should those responding agencies have to issue?
When all those questions are answered, we can deal with the issue of compliance: that is, how athletes and sports clubs are held to the rules and are controlled for their adherence to, or complying with, the rules.
Sports are firmly rooted in the social sphere. Kids go out of the house to play with each other. They play games and, at one point, will join a club or form a club to develop their skills and enter a competition with members or teams of other clubs.
When someone plays false, others will admonish him, or even banish him from the game. In informal games, players will referee themselves. When there is a general agreement that someone committed a foul, they will correct the action. When the games become more serious or take place in the context of an organized competition, certain individuals, usually members of the clubs, will be disciplinary agents, usually called referees. When more serious faults are committed, that cannot be regarded as "rules of the game" such as more serious misconduct on the pitch, or forms of corrupt behaviour, clubs will do the disciplining, usually by way of specially appointed disciplinary committees, that need to apply rules and regulations of its (national and/or international) Federation.
The important question related to compliance is whether the social sphere is sufficiently equipped by itself to address malpractices in sports as we have seen it in the recent past. Sports Federations are clearly not warmly welcoming external influences when it comes to matters of compliance. Court cases before the European Court of Justice and discussions with the European Committee have made clear that Sport Federations embrace what they call "the sporting autonomy". Sport belongs to the sport and there should not be too much interference from the outside world.
However, we have seen several examples of malpractices in professional sports, which couldn’t be addressed adequately by the Federations themselves. Where FIFA and UEFA implemented regulations with regard to Financial Fair Play, Third Party Ownership and protection of minors, it became clear that the enforcement of such rules by the Federations and the compliance to the rules by its members is not at all an easy task. And what about doping in cycling and athletics or the exploitation of athletes: "We are treated like sporting slaves" was the heading of an article in The Guardian newspaper of August 3, 2017. The article explained how athletes were bought by rich Arab and Middle Eastern nations and had their nationality changed against the promise of a good salary, housing and the like. There are numerous examples, however, of such athletes that were "routinely mistreated, denied prize money and sometimes housed in filthy conditions".
The question is then justified: how long will it take before people lose interest in sports dominated by financial interests, bribes, abuse and unfair competition? How to address malpractices and safeguard a positive outlook for sports in the future? Who should do what?
Other sectors will call for governmental rules and laws. If they do not do so, politicians may implement them. The challenge is the right design of such laws and the enforcement of compliance, as the latest crisis in the financial sector has made clear. Like that sector, the sports sector calls for better laws and for better compliance.
The point of departure remains that the most important rules are social and that compliance has to be that, too. Yet, with the overheated trading of players, the dominance of the market of television rights, and the danger of the winner takes it all, which undoes the competitive principle of sports, the design of better rules and laws has become critical.
In an article that will be published in the September 2018 edition of the Global Sports Law and Taxation Report Arjo Klamer, Professor of Cultural Economics, Erasmus University Rotterdam, The Netherlands and I will argue that Sport Federations should maintain as a principle the concept of sporting autonomy. Like the EU lawmakers, we recognize the danger of the imposition of laws on the world of sports. Such laws may undo the social fabric that gives sport its special characteristics. Even so, current practices make clear that certain interventions are necessary.
A good option is the creation of organisations in which (international) governments and sports organizations collaborate to address practices that have a reverse impact on the game and to come up with best practices on how to enforce compliance with rules that were implemented to safeguard the characteristics of sports and fair play. The foundation of the international anti-doping agency, WADA, is a good example of such collaboration that deserves copying.

Landing at Old Trafford through a deal worth nearly 100 million euros, it can be said that Antony has so far not proven himself worthy of what Manchester United have spent. However, in the opinion of Ian Wright, blockbuster signings but struggling in the Premier League like Antony or Darwin Nunez simply need more time to shine.
The former England striker shared:
“I think, Antony is like Darwin Nunez.”
“Coming with the transfer fee, people expect a lot from these players. We all know they are capable, but this is their first season. When you look at what Antony can do, you have to give him a little more time.”
“It was an easy decision for Antony, passing the ball to Anthony Martial to make a cushion. He has the ability to find spaces and when you look at what Antony has to offer, his pace and skill, how he transforms players.”
“Antony isn’t so explosive right now, but over time it will.”

A new political party has emerged in Greece aiming to find “modern solutions” to the country’s “big problems”.
Founder Stavros Theodorakis, a well-known television journalist, said The River would use “ideas from parties on the left, as well as liberal political powers”.
The party has been formed in time to take part in the forthcoming European Elections in May.
Theodorakis, speaking at a press conference, said: “I have been described as a lefty since my childhood. For me, the crucial point is to identify what being on the left means today.”
He added: “Greece has huge problems that could not be solved without foreign aid.
“Our major issue is not to find out what has gone wrong but to invent a new national strategic plan to give an end to the economic and social crisis.”
With regards to Greece’s public sector, Theodorakis underlined that no redundancies would have to be imposed and suggested that in order to improve services, redeployment of staff would be necessary.
He said: “We do not have a large public sector. We have a public sector that functions in a bad way.”
Theodorakis did not announce his party’s candidates for the European Parliament, stating that The River’s ballot is under configuration.
He also said that he gave up journalism to lead The River but that he is ready to go back to his profession if the party does not get anyone elected to the European Parliament in May’s elections.
“I will feel deeply hurt,” he stated. “But I am ready to face the fact that maybe people won’t trust us as political party. If that happens, I will return to my professional activities and give up politics”.

UW President Bob Sternberg says he's available to discuss concerns
The President of the University of Wyoming, Bob Sternberg, says he understands that the turnover of several administrators is unsettling, but says that most of the resignations have been coincidence. Sternberg says he was directly involved in the resignations of Provost Myron Allen and Education Dean Kay Persichitte, but other administrator resigned on their own.
Sternberg says faculty are nervous, but they shouldn’t be. “I think they are probably concerned about the rate of change, which is probably quicker than I would have hoped for, I wouldn’t have expected so many people in so little time to step down. You know there was a stable administration for eight years and when all of a sudden it makes people nervous. And I understand that.”
Sternberg admits he’s troubled by all of the unease, and urges faculty to visit with him to discuss their concerns.

frequently asked questions
How long are your camps?
Each camp varies slightly in length, but most camps runs 4-7 days in length. See our Registration Page for each camp’s specific length.
What does it cost to attend camp?
Camp pricing fluctuates depending on the camp’s theme, size, length, and geographical location. See our Registration Page for each camp’s specific price.
What is your refund policy?
If cancellation occurs before April 21, 2017, a full refund, minus the 20% non-refundable deposit will be given. Registration fees are non-refundable after this date, except due to illness as documented by a doctor’s note or death of immediate family member that prevents them from attending camp.
How many campers are at each camp?
Depending on the camp, there will be anywhere from 175 to 400 campers attending. By today’s standards, this is a relatively small size for a major summer camp, and the low camper count helps us ensure the best interaction possible between our celebrity counselors and campers. That is very important to us.
What is your age and gender breakdown?
Most camps are residential co-ed camps for boys and girls ages 10-17 years old. However, a few camps have stricter gender or age requirements, so be sure to check the specific camp’s registration page for details.
How do you select which digital stars will host a camp?
Our digital talent partners are the driving force behind the feel of each camp, so we actively seek and partner with those influencers who want to do more than just entertain fans. Partner influencers are industry leaders in the digital world and are excited about inspiring campers – encouraging them to discover new passions and learn more about themselves.
How many influencers are at each camp?
It depends on the camp. There are always at least one or two main “Head Counselors” who pick the theme and plan the activities. Then, depending on the program requirements, additional influencers might be brought in to help out. You never know who might stop by!
How much time will I get with the talent?
Our creators are involved in at least a few hours of activities every day. You will have several sessions with them, in addition to our full schedule of awesome camp activities. We will also make sure that every camper gets at least one opportunity to take a photo with each creator.
What should I do if I have questions about my child’s camp experience?
If you currently DO NOT have a child at camp, you can reach our main office at (818) 853-9830 between 8:00 AM – 5:00 PM EST, and someone will be happy to assist you. If you currently DO have a child at camp, please refer to your specific camp’s guide book and call the campground directly. We will be happy to arrange a phone conversation between you and the Camp Director when necessary. Please be aware that things are busy at camp and someone cannot always return your call immediately, though it is our policy to return all calls the same day, when camp is in session.
When leaving a message, please be sure to state your name, your child’s name, your phone number, and the reason for your call.
May I visit my child while he/she is at camp?
There are no visiting hours during camp.
Will you be awarding scholarships?
Yes, a limited number of campers from economically disadvantaged backgrounds will be selected by an impartial scholarship review committee* to receive full fee waivers for each of our camps. In addition to income, the committee will consider extenuating factors such as family member illness, household size, extracurricular activities and a personal statement.
How do you address the health and safety of campers?
Safety is the top priority at Camp17. All of our facilities and staff practice fire, aquatic, and other emergency skills and drills on a routine basis. Each of our camps has access to local fire and police services, and are generally located within 20 minutes of a hospital.
Is camp17 a member of the American Camp Association (ACA)?
Yes, we are a proud member of the ACA and follow their best standards and safety practices.
Does camp17 make provisions for special diets?
We do our best to accommodate special diets, such as vegetarians, dairy-free, peanut-free, gluten-free, or kosher, no matter if it is for personal or medical reasons. However, WE ARE NOT A GLUTEN-FREE OR PEANUT-FREE KITCHEN, and cannot ensure that cross contamination will never occur. All of our kitchens have processes in place to minimize contamination from happening, but there is sometimes gluten or peanuts in the air and on work surfaces. If you are Celiac and/or highly sensitive/allergic to gluten or peanuts, please contact firstname.lastname@example.org in advance to discuss how we can best accommodate your child’s needs.
What kind of supervision will my child have at camp?
Campers live in cabins with 10-16 other youth and 2-4 counselors. Each of our camps requires that campers are supervised by staff at all times, even during informal and free time activities. Our staff selection process is extremely thorough, and counsellors benefit from thorough training and extensive background checks.
What if my child misses home?
Part of the training counselors go through is how to be sensitive to campers who miss home. It is not unusual for campers of any age, and even for returning ones, to miss home. Our schedule attempts to keep them as busy as possible, and campers who need a little extra “TLC” are helped along by caring counselors.
How are homesickness and other adjustment issues handled?
It is our aim to make sure every camper has a positive experience while at camp, and we know every child reacts differently to being away from home. Our staff is prepared to give each camper the individual attention they require to facilitate this positive experience, and will be proactive when it comes to handling homesickness. However, if homesickness becomes so intense that it interferes with the camper’s overall experience, parents will be notified by the Camp Director, and a plan on how to move forward will be
made with their input.
How do you select your staff?
One of the best things about camp17 is our staff, and each one must go through a rigorous interview process before being hired. Typical applicants are young adults, usually in college or graduate school, but are sometimes recent graduates. We look for individuals with a strong self-image, outgoing personality, and demonstrated leadership capabilities.
The hiring process starts by working with our partner campground’s core leadership, many of whom are parents as well, and carefully identifying the type and amount of staff we need for each camp. From there, interviews are held. These aim to understand more than an applicant’s teaching skills. Emphasis is put on common sense, quick thinking, role modeling, maturity, and a hard work ethic. Qualified candidates must then undergo background checks and referencing, and only then are the most qualified candidates hired.
What type of training do camp counselors receive?
We provide an intensive pre-camp orientation program that includes training in safety, communication, emergency procedures, child abuse prevention, camp expectations, and supervision procedures. When appropriate, special trainings and certifications are provided for many of our activity specialists (i.e. ropes course, waterfront, archery).
What is the staff-to- camper ratio?
We maintain at least a ratio of 1:8 at all of our camps, and often are closer to a ratio of 1:6, meaning we meet or exceed ACA standards.
Where are your camps held?
We partner with top campgrounds across the country to offer some of the very best facilities found in the summer camp industry. Partner camps are located in stunning outdoor settings – along the shores of magnificent lakes or in pristine wilderness mountain settings.
Cabins have electricity, as well as and bathrooms, showers, and sinks, either in suite, or within a walkable distance. Program areas are amazing, and generally include swimming pools, rope courses/ziplines, sports fields, archery ranges, and fine arts facilities, as well as large dining halls that serve the entire camp.
What if my child wakes up in the middle of the night?
Campers live in cabins with counselors, who are always there for campers who may wake up in the middle of the night.
What is the food like?
Food at our camps is nutritious and well-prepared by professional staff who hold all certifications required by state and federal law. Salad bars and fruit are available at every meal, and arrangements can be made for campers with dietary restrictions (see more in the Safety section).
Do you allow campers from other countries to attend?
Yes! (see the next question for travel info)
My child doesn’t live near the camp they want to attend, can they still come?
Of course! For campers who need to fly, we provide a shuttle service (additional fee) to and from major airports in the camp’s immediate area. Campers are met at the airport by camp personnel wearing Camp17 apparel, and are escorted to our bus for the trip to camp. A member of Leadership team will ensure your child sends you a text or calls you when they arrive.
Please note that campers of a certain age (each airline’s requirements are different) must travel with an Unaccompanied Minor form purchased at the time reservations are made. Please prepay for this service for both the flight to camp and the flight from camp. Before completing the Unaccompanied Minor Form, please contact our main office for the name and address of the person who will meet your child at the airport. Please ensure you note the Record Locator Number (located on your child’s airfare itinerary) on the travel form. This allows the Camp17 team to change the name of the person meeting your child at the gate in the event the person scheduled is held up with another camper. There is a Camp17 Unaccompanied Minor surcharge of $30 due to the increase in staffing required to meet campers at their Gates.
See each specific camp’s guidebook for more information and costs.
I’m driving my child to camp, what time should I drop them off and pick them up?
Check each specific camp’s guidebook for exact drop off and pickup times, but in general, plan to have them to camp by late-afternoon on the first day and pick them up mid-morning on closing day. Once there, you will be met by the Camp Director or other senior Leadership team members.. Please note that campers may not leave camp with anyone except their parents or guardian, unless arrangements have been made with the Camp Director in advance.
I live near the airport, can my child ride the airport shuttle to camp?
All campers are eligible to ride the shuttle from the airport to camp by paying the shuttle fee and registering for shuttle transportation. Once you register a CampInTouch Account will be created for you. Log in and click on Forms and Documents. The Transportation form is located here. Complete the transportation form by selecting Shuttle and filling in the information. Drop off time and meeting location will be communicated closer to camp.
Where do your campers come from?
Campers come from around the country! 50% are generally from the immediate surrounding areas, while the other 50% come from states like New York, California, Illinois, Massachusetts, Wisconsin, and Texas and abroad.
Will my child have access to his / her phone during Camp?
Children who are flying in will be requested to text and/or call you once they arrive to confirm their safe arrival. Some camps will have designated times during which phones and other technology may be used.
Is there Wi-Fi access on camp?
There is limited Wi-Fi access in some locations on camp.

Living With A Urinary Catheter › Forums › General Discussion › Catheter put in for bowel cancer op. still there more than 4 months later. Help! › Reply To: Catheter put in for bowel cancer op. still there more than 4 months later. Help!
It sounds like you’re on the right track to find out what’s going on, and it also sounds like your doctor is being upfront about things, which is actually a good thing, even if we don’t always like what they’re telling us.
I had a suprapubic catheter for about five to six months. It’s not exactly fun, but you do get used to them eventually, and some of the biggest drawbacks can be treated. The area is obviously tender at first, but that goes away over time. It can also weep a fluid out with some people, as it did with me. This often lessens with time, but it can take a year or two to start improving. Catheter changes can be painful or painless, often depending on who is doing it. Nurses are usually better than doctors. They’ll give you a medication for bladder spasms, and you should always take it before a change.
Hopefully you won’t need to go that route, but if you do, it’s not the end of the world. A lot of people live with suprapubic catheters to make it easier to live a normal life. Activities like hiking, swimming, sex, etc, are difficult with a urethral, but a suprapubic makes them possible.
Let me know if you have any other questions.

Last October, businesses were mandated to adopt EMV compliant terminals. The EMV shift has already occurred in every major American market. Some businesses have not adopted EMV terminals due to cost or supply shortage. While the transition might not have gone smoothly, many businesses have successfully implemented EMV terminals. Many large companies have already made the shift such as Home Depot, Walmart, Target and Walgreens. Here is a quick run down again of what is an EMV card and why your business should adopt EMV compliant terminals.
Originally started by Europay in the mid-90s, the goal of EMV is to introduce smart cards to deter credit card fraud and provide a global infrastructure from credit card usage. EMV cards create a consistent transaction process world wide between card users and merchants.
But what is a “smart card”? A “smart card” is very similar to any other credit or debit card except for the inserted micro chip that processes the transition rather than a traditional magnetic swipe strip on the back of the card. The micro chip creates a one time password to protect the security of each transaction. Rather than swiping, users simply “dip” their card chip into the reader and the transaction then processes. Ultimately, the goal is to reduce “card present fraud” as well as “non card present fraud” for the consumer.
The main reason to adopt an EMV compliant terminal is because of a shift in fraud liability. Unlike the past when banks have been liable for fraudulent charges, merchants who do not have an EMV compliant terminal will now be liable for fraudulent charges if a magnetic strip transaction method is used. If your business does not have an EMV compliant terminal, you could be on the hook for fraudulent charges.
There have been concerns over the implementation of EMV terminals by industries such as restaurants, and other tip based services. While the EMV transaction model can create an awkward situation, such as adding a separate transaction for the tip, the benefits of liability protection far out weigh the possible awkward situation.
At Cynergy Data Texas, we can help your business become EMV compliant if you are not yet. The EMV transition did not go as fluidly as predicted, however, your business still needs an EMV compliant terminal to avoid excess fraud liability. If you are a gas station owner, you will be mandated to be EMV compliant by 2017, so the time is now to keep your business ahead of the curve. If not, don’t let your business be sunk by fraud liability! Contact us today for more information

It’s almost been three weeks since the return of the NBA and whether they will ever make up to NBA fans for their regular season stoppage is a question that still hangs in the air. Well, as far as comedian Jon Dore is concerned, it’s more than a question that still lingers. For Dore, the NBA has pretty much a broken a promise that has stayed a broken promise, which is why he has gone in search of other basketball leagues that care about the fans and are more interested in fair treatment of their players. If that means Jon has to watch 9-year-olds play as a segment on Conan, so be it. Check out the clip below.

- Religion and Philosophy»
- Islam, the Quran & Muhammed
A question for those that have the knowledge of Islam
The writer thought it is better to hear directly from those that have the knowledge of Islamic teachings. This is because a lot of things have been said about the Islamic religion and her adherents. It is no longer in question that some people see Islam as a religion of terror. This is because of the increasing rise in terrorist activity, depending on how one wants to define terrorism, which is carried out by Muslims as they claim it is part of their belief. This include the on going global war against terror, and recently the terrorist attacks and unrest in some countries like Nigeria where an Islamic sect called Boko Haram has denied many people their God given right to life.
Although, some Muslims claim that Islam is a religion of peace and not of war; a claim most Christians disagree because it seems all Islamic faith are involved in perpetuating this global unrest. However, it is known that there are various Islamic sects just as there are various Christians sect but it becomes difficult to draw a line and define were the various Islamic sects stand in this ongoing killings by some Muslims that claim to do the work of God and what they have done to prevent such evil activities committed by their Muslim brothers especially as they claim to be peace makers.
The interest of the writer is on a discussion which needs to be clarified. The discussion is a claim by some people that Muslims do not welcome the idea of a Muslim converting to another religion. Although it is understandable why no religion would welcome such conversion especially as each religion has the desire to increase in membership and each sect seems to claim to be superior and on the right track in the journey along the path to heaven; some people claim that Muslims are against such conversion to the extent that they can kill anyone that converts to another religion especially in Northern Nigeria.
The writer thinks it in unfair and unreasonable for any religion to kill someone just for the simple reason that such a person chooses to no longer be a follower of such religion. This is because it is against the right and freedom of religion which all human should enjoy. The writer has heard news/claims and testimonies given by Muslims that converted to Christianity and vice versa. That is why the writer doubts the possibilities of such allegations although it is not impossible to be true especially in places like Nigeria where the lives of citizens are loosely protected, if protected at all.
Therefore, the writer calls on all that have the knowledge of the Islamic teachings to confirm if Islamic doctrines says anyone that leaves Islam should be kill; then those that have witnessed such persecutions for converting or leaving Islam have to confirm if the allegations are true. Only then can we know how to handle the matter.

Gearbox and drive
Dry twin plate, F&S PF220K.
ZF Kb40D, 2x4 forward, 2x1 reverse, sliding-mesh, non-synchronised. Ratios: I - 6,50, II - 3,20, III - 1,74, IV - 1,00, Reverse - 6,50.
Ratios: Street 1,684, terrain - 2,52. Driven by a short propeller shaft. Two ratios are provided.
Conventional controlled. The steering brakes are mounted co-axially with the half-shafts and are pneumatically operated. The road brakes are not integral with the sprockets. The half-shafts drive the sprockets through a final reduction gear on each of the main chassis members.
The front wheels are steered by means of a ZF Ross worm-and-cam type device. A pneumatic valve operates the track brakes when the steering wheel reaches a 5 degree angle. A lever on the dashboard enables braking each track independently. This is new to halftrack design. It allows the vehicle to be driven on one track only. Handy when one track slips or when removing tracks.
Optional on the softskinned versions only is a 5 ton winch. It is powered from the auxiliary gearbox by means of a propeller shaft and worm gear.

US must adapt to changing economic reality
Is this the beginning of the end? At the moment, it seems so. With Donald Trump’s election, the floodgates of retribution have been thrown open, leveraged by a charlatan’s gossamer promises to restore our daddy’s America of white privilege and unencumbered commerce, yet inclusive at the same time. But this will not come to pass.
Like it or not, the world is changing, and we are completely enmeshed in that world. Unless we’re prepared to pay workers $300 a month as in China or pay for fair wages, U.S. steel, coal and manufacturing can no longer compete with emerging economies. Like it or not, our demographics are changing, and it is only a matter of time before whites no longer have the country to themselves. No wall will change that. Human history is the story of unyielding, unstoppable evolution. Civilizations come and go depending on how they address these forces. Adaptability, not entrenchment, racism and xenophobia, is the key to our country’s survival.
Changing economic realities leave entire regions devastated. Yet, while the bottom half watch their prospects dwindle, corporations and the wealthy continue to thrive. The have-nots have been persuaded to vote against their own best interests. How? With tales of swarthy foreigners coming to their neighborhood. Of liberal elites ramming transgenderdom down their throats. Of the white guy losing his rightful place at the top. And with Trump, nothing will change. The same characters will continue pulling the levers behind the scenes.
The voters have bought hollow words. Trump is no friend of working folks. These jobs won’t come back because the free market won’t pay the price. Demographics and power centers will continue to shift. The longer we resist these tidal forces, the more painful change will be. The seeds of change are sown, and we will reap a whirlwind if left untended.

6 Images Every Nonprofit Can Capture
Some nonprofits find it challenging at times to represent the work they do in photos, rather than text. But photos are one of the most shared content on social media, so it’s become important for causes to adapt and show more images in order to bring about more engagement—likes, comments, sharing—on their social networks.
This week, I’ll show you 6 images your nonprofit can capture with a simple camera—no matter the cause you represent. And next week, we’ll have 6 ways you can use these photos.
More than likely, your nonprofit has held some sort of fundraising event in the past—whether it was a simple happy hour fundraiser or fancy gala. And at your fundraisers you have the most important people of your organization: your supporters. So take pictures at your fundraising events and capture your donors in action. Take pictures of them socializing, and even get special group shots that they’d like to see. Fundraisers are full of moments for attendees—especially if they’re having fun—so have copies of that release form ready at your next fundraiser!
Does your organization host other events too? Go beyond the fundraising event and think about your upcoming kids camp, or animal shelter event at a local pet store, or your Monday night bingo game. These events are great ways to show your nonprofit in action, even if you do them on a regular basis. Every night will be different so don’t hesitate to snap photos again and again. This is also a great way to build a library of photos you can use in your publications later!
People/Animals/Environment You Helped
I can’t think of a more moving way to capture your nonprofit than by showing your donors the beneficiaries of your work. If you help people, animals, or even if you’re working to save a piece of land, you’re putting a “face to the name” for your donors, and giving them a chance to identify with your cause.
Staff In Action
You owe the progress of your cause to the staff that worked on it, so give them a shout-out by taking their picture. Whether they’re sitting at a desk or outside building a home, your staff is in action working to move your cause forward. Your supporters will love to see the faces of those spending most of their day working for something they believe in. And your staff will appreciate the props!
Is there a motto your organization lives by? Are there inspirational quotes your staff passes along to each other? If there’s something that encourages your supporters, create an image with it and post it on your social networks. If it’s a truth that your cause believes in, your supporters will love to see it in writing.
Photos capture the here and now, and a series of photos can show the progress your organization is making. Think about ways you can show your supporters the progress, and collect these photos in an online album they can access at any time.
What other images of your cause would you capture?

More Macrobia stuff added here. You can ignore everything in brackets. Comments welcome. I should note that these Macrobia posts should be read in the order starting from 1 going to 4.
Again, I'm copying and pasting from Word, so the formatting won't be the same.
Duncan MacKenzie and Michael Perez saw no more Rhino-riders the rest of the day. For two hours they rode the dusty road in silence. Michael, like most people in Macrobia, had never been outside the city’s gates. There was never a need to, and besides, it was nothing but a vast trackless wasteland decimated from the War of All Nations.
Since the Rhino encounter, the land was mostly flat. Thousands upon thousands of craters pock-marked the land, and great crevices as if giants had dragged their fingers through the earth, decorated the landscape. On top of it all, boulders lay strewn, with no definite shape or form. Huge and gnarled, as if blasted from the bowels of the planet.
MacKenzie abruptly veered off the road and parked in the shadow of an enormous slab of rock.
“Now you’ll see something worth seeing,” he said. There was a sound like a small explosion or gas seeping from a pipe and Michael saw a crack appear in the desert floor-perfectly straight. The crack widened until it was the width of a door. A ramp led into the ground and he saw reflective tags on either side. Duncan wheeled the bike down the ramp until his form became hazy.
“Are you coming?” Mac asked.
“Is it safe?”
Michael, who still didn’t completely trust this stranger, hesitated.
“I think we’ll be safe here. There’s nobody else around here for miles. No sign of sweep patrols.”
“Have you forgotten satellites. . . and the drones?”
“We’re in the desert. They work by detecting heat.”
“And when the sun goes down. . .”
“They’ll still work by heat.”
“Right. But the desert loses a lot of heat at night. Animals don’t. We would be sitting ducks out here.”
A thumping sound appeared in the distance. Helicopter? Rhino? This wasn’t a helicopter and it didn’t sound like a Rhino.
“Quick! Michael. A Plower’s coming.”
“Plower? Like a Rhino-car?”
“More like a three-story Rhino with snowblades. Come on!”
The thumping intensified. Michael saw a large swirling pillar of dust, like a small tornado, approaching. Through the haze, he could make out bits and pieces of yellow and tan-coloured metal. The thing was enormous and dwarfed the Rhino. He turned, and with a great deal of hesitancy, followed Mac into the hole in the desert. Mac pulled a lever by the opening. There was a creaking and groaning of old chains as the door slowly creaked shut. It was pitch black. Mac flicked on the BMW’s headlight. “Welcome to the Underground,” he said. The Plower could just be heard.
* * *
Julia Tanya Fairchild was tired. She had planned on a quiet lunch with a fellow co-worker yesterday when the PM’s call sounded. She was waiting on Michael at the Blue Moose Café. . .
Julia was tall, athletic, blue-eyed, and sported shoulder length wavy red hair. She worked as a chemist in the QA/QC department at Z-Tec. Although she spent 8 years in college studying genetics, she never actually did any laboratory work. Originally, she did, but after her manager discovered she was the best chemist in the lab, they made her a supervisor and hadn’t pressed so much as a button on any lab equipment since. That was three years ago. Most of her time was spent in her office reviewing test results of the various new products Z-Tec analysed.
Z-Tec spent millions of dollars on field research looking for novel drugs. One chemical, called resveratrol, seemed to suppress cancer and increase telomerase production. Nobody knew exactly how it worked, but in all Z-Tec’s experiments, it increased life-span remarkably.
[make more interesting and add field exped/Malaysia/llama/Tibet and old men stuff here]
Julia Fairchild and Michael Perez were close friends. On Tuesday, as she walked into her office, she was surprised to see an official of the NSA waiting for her.
“Dr. Fairchild?” the man stood and stretched his hand towards her. “Lt. Jones from the NSA. How do you do?”
”Fine, thank you.” She didn’t offer to shake his hand. “Can I help you?”
“I’m looking for one of your co-workers. Perez. A Michael Perez. We are having some difficulty locating him and thought you might shed some light on his location.”
“Yes. Mr. Perez works here. He’s not in my department, but I know him. Is he in any trouble?”
“Ohh, no. Nothing of the sort,” he said. “It’s just that yesterday he didn’t come to the castle when the call went out. Perhaps he is ill?”
“Not that I know of,” Julia replied. She thought the little man from the NSA a little square and just a little cute. “Did you check his apartment?”
“He’s not there and wasn’t seen last night returning. Does Mr. Perez have a girlfriend?”
“Not to my immediate knowledge. I’m sure he’d tell me if he did.”
“You are sure?”
“Quite sure.” Julia felt it quite silly that her heart skipped a beat at this last question.
“Mr. Perez and you are quite close, are you not?”
“We’re a bit more than casual acquaintances. Nothing more, nothing less.”
“Is he supposed to be in today?”
“Should be. You’re asking the wrong person.” And a lot of them, she thought to herself. “Why don’t you just stick around and wait for him yourself,” she smiled.
The little man from the NSA stared at her blankly.
“Why does the NSA want to see Mr. Perez?”
“Mr. Perez is very important right now. The Velkladdeur himself desires to see him, and I have reasons of my own.”
“Ohh, in that case. . .”
* * *
Richard Jones inserted the mini-tele-com device into his ear canal. Instantly, the sounds of Macrobia ceased. He wouldn’t hear a thing (unless Candy called) until he took them out.
With a population of 45 million (exactly 45,347,653 according to that morning’s Macro-news-comcast ), Macrobia was one of the largest cities on the planet-and very loud. Most people wore the mini-tele-com devices, or comtels, for this very reason. They blocked all sound except incoming tele-calls and voice messages.
He took the 0920 train back to the NSA’s headquarters and arrived exactly twenty minutes later. He knew his chances of Michael Perez ever returning to Z-Tec were slim at best. Fortunately, the hidden microphone he stuck under Julia’s desk might reveal otherwise.
[how does he know MP if he doesn’t have chip???]
‘Where would I go if I were this guy?’ he asked himself. ‘Into the desert. Where else?’ The desert was where all the unchippers lived. How they managed to survive out there in the wild, craggy, rocks oozing radiation, was beyond his imagination. Somehow they survived. Occasionally, he saw an unchipper, an outsider-one of ‘those people.’ They always had weather-beaten skin like tanned leather. Not the smooth features of a city-dweller.
[all Macrobites are 1984 dumb]
Jones figured they got food by smuggling it out of the city since no drone ever detected any significant vegetation in the Scarred Lands. True, the drones wee very unstable due to radioactivity in the SL, and were notorious for breaking down. But it seemed miraculous how people survived out there.
At 9:42, Jones was back in his office. He made plans to scour the desert himself. By 10:00 AM, he reserved a helicopter and planned to leave the next day before dawn.
* * *
‘They’re searching. Looking. They know I’m here. They can’t find me. I’m hidden.’
Michael clawed at the metal band around his ankle. It would not come off, not without the security code-which he didn’t have. Only the NSA knew the code.
The clouds, unnaturally close in the night sky, looked like great puffy goblins streaking across the full moon. Earlier, a thunderstorm washed the land, giving the forest a rich, earthy smell. Up the hill and through the trees, he scrambled scurrying from tree to tree. Rarely looking up, but sensing his presence.
‘Velkladdeur’s near,’ he thought. And Velkladdeur knew this. Above him. In the clouds. He was coming. One cloud in particular floated slower than the others. One end pointy, the other a vague amorphous blob of white and grey. Sky-Hoverer. Velkladdeur is in the Sky-Hoverer. This Michael knew beyond all doubt. The dirigible was sending low frequency signals in all directions, like probing tentacles, lurking in the night sky. Silent. Creeping. Like some phantom creature of the deep seas.
[mention how the voice reverberates in his belly]
The Sky-Hoverer wafted soundlessly nearer. Mac promised him that even with the ankle bracelet, Velkladdeur could not find him. He was elusive on the details, but kept insisting that he would be ‘hidden.’
“Hidden in what?” he asked. He had to trust his red-headed friend.
The Sky-Hoverer was now so close its engines could be heard. A thrumming sound meant to resemble a flock of birds. A search light turned on. It traced a large circle around Michael.
Michael dropped to the ground and covered himself with leaves. Despite what Mac told him about the bracelet, he knew Velkladdeur had a link to it.
‘Curse that traitor Julia! Why did I allow her to give me that bracelet as a parting gift? I should have known better. Now I’m trapped!’
The light beam described an ever decreasing circle and Michael was in the middle.
“We know you’re here!” boomed a mechanical voice from above. “Show yourself!”
Michael ignored the command and remained motionless. If Mac said he was hidden, he was hidden. Something told him to be as quiet as possible though every fiber of his being shouted ‘run.’
For one full second, the beam lit up Michael. He didn’t blink. Couldn’t have because his eyes were shut. The light moved on.
‘How could the Sky-Hoverer not detect the bracelet? It was common knowledge that once the aircraft sensors passed over, they automatically triggered the bracelets and gave away ones coordinates. Apparently, this didn’t happen for the voice said, “Surrender! Yield to us!” in the same overpowering bass.
‘Perhaps,’ he grinned, ‘I just need an update.’
The Sky-Hoverer and Velkladdeur drifted North.
* * *
“Okay. Let me get this straight,” said Michael. “You are telling me that simply being underground and spending time with the Undergrounders, I acquire some magical ‘essence’ that shields me from the Velk, satellites, Sky-Hoverers, hunter probes, Prowlers, etc, etc, etc. . .and renders any Macrobian machine useless when one using it to find me has evil intentions?”
“That’s not how I would describe it,” said Mac, “but for the time-yes, that’s essentially what happens.”
Michael was back in the Underground at a de-radiation room. Earlier, he had found a safe house, (or safe cave in this instance), and spent the last half-hour listening, bewildered, at Mac’s explanation.
“And what precisely is this ‘essence’ composed of? Six years of college, and I’ve never heard of such a thing.”
“I’m not surprised. You’re educators, by their very worldview, cannot believe in such phenomenon. Underworlders have the ability to bond to nature in a way Macrobites do not. It’s more natural (an easier). [explain much better] Everything about Macrobia is artificial. It, this artificiality, doesn’t allow them to change their nature to conform with matter like us. It’s rather like a surgeon implanting a new organ into a patient. The new organ may work, but requires prodigious quantities of drugs to do so, lest the body reject it. Macrobia is a foreign particle. An invader. And as such, their machines cannot truly detect us-unless we so desire, or use their system-which we reject.
[explain. . . ]

Kwikot came to the rescue when a Duratherm geyser burst at a residence in Kloofnek, Gardens, where Nick Black was housesitting.
After the geyser burst, Mr Black said, he was given the same run-around as Charles Stevenson (“Geyser guarantee leaves customer fuming”, Off My Trolley February 23.
“The 150-litre geyser was installed by Sunscan, Montague Gardens, in December 2012, on the recommendation of their agent, Leanne Black, who said we should replace the Kwikot cylinder with a Duratherm geyser,” Mr Black said.
“When it burst in January this year I contacted WE Geysers as it had a massive Solartherm sticker on it. When I gave Heidi the identification number, she told me it had been made in Cape Town and told me the same story about the company going insolvent and WE Geysers would not honour the guarantee. I contacted Carl Bayhack at Future Comfort, who offered me another geyser at a special price of R5 500. I believe, like Mr Stevenson and the others who posted to Hello Peter, that as it is a Solartherm geyser and as WE Geysers contracted Ecotherm to make them they (WE Geysers) are responsible for the guarantee,” said Mr Black who also sent a registered letter to WE Geysers, which has not yet been collected.
Paul Rawsthorne, regional sales manager, Kwikot Western Cape, said they were saddened to read how Mr Stevenson was treated by WE Geysers.
“We do not like to see this kind of behaviour in the market we operate in,” he said and offered to replace Mr Stevenson’s geyser with a Kwikot, as a goodwill gesture. However, Mr Bayhack had already installed the new geyser.
Mr Rawsthorne made the same offer to Mr Black who happily accepted it.
Kwikot was taken over by Electrolux International in November 2016 in a deal worth R3.18 billion, subject to regulatory approval which is expected in June.
“A geyser should be serviced regularly depending on the quality of the water. The anodes must also be checked timeously. Most geysers, with the exception of copper geysers, have ‘sacrificial’ magnesium anodes, which shed pieces to patch any pin holes that occur in the glass lining of the geyser. So they need to be checked and replaced regularly. Otherwise the holes will get bigger and the geyser will eventually burst,” said Mr Rawsthorne.
Mr Black said the Kwikot geyser was installed. “The employees were courteous and efficient. Thanks to Kwikot and to you.”
Mr Stevenson said Future Comfort installed a new geyser on Friday February 27.
“Mr Bayhack brought the price down in line with the insurance claim so the complex and I will split the excess. I accepted Mr Bayhack’s offer as I was concerned that the complex’s insurers might reject a claim because of the delay in lodging it,” said Mr Stevenson.
“The new geyser has a five-year guarantee, not 10,” added Mr Stevenson.
Mr Bayhack reportedly told the complex manager, that, “he’s a Rotarian and is worried about his reputation”.
But I couldn’t confirm this as Mr Bayhack ignored my emails. Rotary has a four-way test that was developed by Herbert J Taylor when he set out to save the Club Aluminium Products distribution company from bankruptcy: the test is made up of four questions. And one of them reads: Is it fair to all concerned? You be the judge.
I still believe that WE Geysers and Future Comfort, as the supplier of the geyser, had a moral, if not legal, obligation to honour the guarantee.
And Mr Stevenson who has the same opinion, is waiting for the National Consumer Commission and the Consumer Goods and Services Ombudsman to make a ruling.
Here are some tips from Kwikot to ensure that your geyser operates at optimum efficiency. Switch off your geyser when you go on holiday.
Don’t open the hot tap if you only need a small amount of cold water as this draws cold water into the geyser, which has to be reheated. Don’t overfill the bath or take lengthy showers as an increase in hot water usage will result in the geyser having to heat or reheat the water more often: the less hot water you use, the more you save. Boil the kettle for hot water to wash dishes.
Set the geyser temperature on the thermostat at 50°C or 55°C in summer and 60°C in winter.
It is advisable to have the geyser serviced every three to four years where the water supply is of a good quality and every second year where the water supply is of a bad quality or the water is defined as hard water.
A regular service would be the draining of the geyser, checking on the level of degradation of the magnesium sacrificial anode and replacing it if necessary, checking the element and thermostat and to replace the element if there is excessive lime scale build.
Lime scale and sludge must be removed from the tank and the entire installation should be checked for any leaks.

(ABC NEWS)- The Athens-Clarke County Police Department has fired one of its officers after an investigation showed he intentionally ran down and hit a fleeing suspect with his police cruiser.
Officer Taylor Saulters, who was driving the car, was initially suspended, but he was fired by the police department on Saturday.
“After reviewing the officers’ body camera footage, and all the other facts and circumstances of this case, Chief Scott Freeman terminated the employment of Officer Taylor Saulters,” the Athens-Clarke County Police Department said in a statement.
The department released video of the June 1 incident, in which Saulters can be seen driving after a suspect fleeing on foot from he and his partner. Saulters initially turns left to try to block the suspect, but the man dodges the car. The suspect then continues running down the street, at which point Saulters drives to the right and hits the suspect with the front right of his police car.
The man who was hit, identified as Timmy Patmon, rolls up on the hood of the car and falls to the pavement. Saulters and his partner, officer Hunter Blackmon, who had been chasing the suspect on foot, arrest Patmon as a group of angry onlookers gather around the arresting officers.
A woman bystander can be heard saying, “You didn’t have to hit that man like that.”
Saulters also threatened to use a stun gun on Patmon while he is face down on the pavement being restrained by Blackmon.
“Give us your hands now, or you’re gonna get Tased,” the officer can be heard saying on the video. “Do you understand me? Make the right decision.”
Patmon was wanted on a felony probation warrant, according to Athens-Clarke County police. Patmon was taken to the hospital by ambulance, but suffered just “scrapes and bruises” when being struck by the car, police said.
He was taken into custody after being released from the hospital.
Saulters was immediately placed on administrative leave, but was fired the next day following an independent investigation.
“Athens police Chief Scott Freeman initially placed Saulters on administrative leave, initiated an internal affairs investigation, and requested that the Georgia State Patrol and Georgia Bureau of Investigation conduct independent investigations of the incident,” police said in a statement.

I am a big baseball fan.
Have been since I was in second grade. And anyone who follows baseball knows that statistics are a big part of the game. Most fans can tell you how many home runs Babe Ruth hit in his career, what a good batting average is and what a good earned run average is for pitchers. Since the 1980’s a group of baseball fans started using statistics to think about the game in new ways. The Godfather of this movement was Bill James who published, for a number of years, a book called The Baseball Abstract. More recently a movie based on the book Moneyball by Michael Lewis gave these new theories a wider audience.
Well, what does this have to do with Social Security Law?
I think there are certain statistics that anyone who is embarking on the process of making a claim for Social Security should be aware of. I inform each of my clients and potential clients of these statistics. If you were about to undergo a medical procedure you would want to know what the chances for success are. And the good doctor would tell you that each case is unique but then he would go on to tell you the odds of success and that there are risks and he or she would tell you the odds of those risks occurring in your case.
The same is true in Social Security law practice.
In fiscal year 2012 the Social Security Administration (SSA) issued 3,121,433 initial decisions. At the initial level 33% were approved, 67% were denied. At the reconsideration appeal level SSA issued 796,862 decisions. SSA allowed 12% of the claims at that level, it denied 88% of the claims. At the second appeal level, the hearing before an Administrative Law Judge, SSA allowed 52% of the claims, dismissed 18% and denied another 32%.
Why the significant jump in the percentage of claims approved at the ALJ level?
I think there are three major factors. Typically the hearing is the first time that the decision maker is actually going to meet the claimant in person. Second, the ALJ, unlike the decision makers at levels one and two, is legally trained. He or she has a law degree and is familiar not just with SSA internal policy but with case law. Third, many claimants are represented by attorneys at the ALJ hearing.
You should not rely on these statistics
for formulating the odds that you have for winning or losing your claim for disability benefits. Again, your case is unique and where you fall on the spectrum of cases approved and cases denied depends on the facts of your case. There are certain facts of your case that will give you a better understanding of your chances for success.
In my experience there are three facts that will determine, to a large degree, your chance of success.
They are in order of importance:
Those are, in my opinion, the three biggest factors in determining a person’s chances for success on a disability claim before SSA. You will note that I haven’t said anything about the quality of representation that a claimant has at the hearing. This is what I tell potential clients: there are cases that are so solid that no representation may be necessary at all. The person might even be in the select group that gets approved at the first or second stage of the process. Even an inexperienced novice representative could be on the winning side in those cases. Then there are cases where the factual support is so weak that the finest attorney in the land could not help the claimant win the case. I politely decline to take those cases even if the claimant offers me a large retainer. Finally, there are the cases that could go either way. Those cases where an experienced attorney could make the difference. The case where the attorney knows where an ALJ, who is leaning towards issuing a denial, is going to go to support his or her rationale and is able to counter that and get the ALJ to look at the case in a different way.
Since we are dealing with percentages here,
what are the percentages of each group going into an ALJ Hearing? Well the slam dunks are gone. Those that can win without representation or with minimal representation, those cases have already been approved at the initial or reconsideration stages. That leaves the case that cannot be won under the current state of facts and those that could go either way. 5% to 10% are unwinnable. Everything else, well, could go either way. An experienced and knowledgeable attorney could make the difference between success and being denied again.
Now back to baseball. The hearing before the ALJ is a compressed trial.
In most cases you are given about 50 minutes to make your case. This small allotment of time is not because the claims are small matters. Quite the contrary. It has been estimated that the average worth of a claim for social security disability benefits is $370,000 over the lifetime of the claimant. Add to that the entitlement or eligibility for Medicare or Medical Assistance and it’s clear these are very big cases. The small amount of time given to claimants for the hearing is due to the large amount of cases being filed and pursued to the ALJ hearing level. SSA has simply not been able to hire enough ALJs and staff to allow for longer hearings.
Since you are bringing the claim you are like a baseball team batting.
The object is to get enough hits and walks to translate into runs for your team. The ALJ is the opposing pitcher. Oh I know he is the impartial arbiter on your case but most ALJs are doing their own initial examination of the claimant at the hearing. Some of their questions are softballs. Some of their questions are high fastballs down the middle of the plate. The question “why do you think you can’t work anymore?” is a fastball. You should be prepared for it and able to knock it out of the park. If you can’t hit a fastball you shouldn’t be playing baseball. And if you can’t answer that question then maybe you shouldn’t be pursuing a claim.
But the ALJs also throw lots of curveballs, changeups, screwballs, and knucklers.
Sometimes an unprepared claimant won’t know where the question is going. That’s one of the places I come in. I can tell you how a particular ALJ has asked questions in the past and what he or she was trying to ascertain by asking it. The ALJ, like a pitcher facing a batter, is probing you with questions (not pitches) to see where the weak point in your case (not hitting) may be.

It’s been a while since we here at SBH have shared or posted anything, and this one is too important NOT to share.
First, here’s the link, go see for yourself: http://psycnet.apa.org/psycinfo/2015-34225-001/
As many of us know, Article 31 clinics in New York state are having a hard time. The transition to managed care has raised a lot of questions regarding treatment length, paperwork, and scheduling. Concurrent documentation, the process of creating documentation in real time with the client, has been both upheld as an effective form of treatment collaboration and time-saving, as well as reviled as a cheap(er) way to schedule more billable sessions.
Here’s the rub: there isn’t much research to back up either argument. However, an important addition has been added to this debate.
Rosen, Nakash, and Alegria video recorded 104 intakes in the northeast and measured (coded) the therapeutic alliance as documented in the video. The quality of the observer-rated working alliance and client’s continuance in care were significantly lower in intakes in which the therapist used a computer during the session.
We’ll continue to watch as this body of research grows.

Imaging plays a major role in the diagnosis, treatment, and follow-up of breast cancers. While the effect of secondary prevention by means of population-based mammography screening programs is still a matter of debate, the majority of expert societies are clearly in favor of mammographic screening [ 1]. Although imaging is considered the most efficient diagnostic test for detecting breast cancer, screening mammography does not yield perfect results. In dense breasts, cancers that do not present as mammographic microcalcifications are easily missed and mammographic findings such as masses, architectural distortions, asymmetries, and microcalcifications are not specific for breast cancer. As the aim of imaging is to detect cancer, the reader will regularly choose a diagnostic decision leading to further work-up by additional imaging, follow-up examinations, and image-guided biopsies, leading to extra costs, anxiety, and possible physical harm. Therefore, there is an ongoing search for new diagnostic tools in breast cancer. Key methods include three-dimensional (3D) approaches to x‑ray mammography (digital breast tomosynthesis), contrast-enhanced mammography, quantifiable ultrasound techniques (e. g., shear wave elastography), and functional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI; e. g., contrast-enhanced MRI, diffusion-weighted imaging). This review focuses on these techniques and their potential use in the breast clinic.
Digital breast tomosynthesis
Digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) has swiftly gained popularity since its introduction in clinical practice in the 2000s [ 2]. DBT is a quasi-3D imaging modality that, through the acquisition of a limited number of x‑ray projections from a relatively narrow angular range, allows for the reconstruction of pseudotomographic images [ 3].
The position of the patient during the examination is identical to that of mammography, and the imaging findings are like those of digital mammography, so that the same diagnostic criteria apply for both modalities. Consequently, the learning curve for becoming accustomed to reading DBT images is rather steep, a fact that has favored the fast increase of its use in clinical practice. While initial DBT devices were associated with a radiation dose approximately twice that of digital mammography, current commercial devices acquire DBT datasets with identical to or only slightly higher doses than mammography [ 4].
The currently available evidence demonstrates that by use of DBT the detection rate of malignant lesions can be increased. In particular, prospective studies performed in a screening setting showed an increased detection rate from 4.2–6.3/1000 with mammography to 5.4–8.9 with mammography and DBT [ 5], with a significant increase in detection rates between 0.5 and 2.7/1000 [ 6]. Retrospective studies showed an increase in sensitivity from borderline (2%) up to 18%, depending on the cases included and the readers’ experience with mammography and DBT [ 7]. Most of the additional cancers found with DBT, in addition, were invasive rather than in situ carcinomas [ 8]. Furthermore, false-positive findings leading to unnecessary recalls and biopsies can be reduced. The reduction in recall rates is variable, and is strongly related to the initial recall rate of the screening program where DBT is introduced. In prospective studies in a screening setting, recall rates were stable or decreased by up to 17% [ 5, 9]. In retrospective studies, specificity improved by up to 20%, with reductions in recall rates of up to approximately 60% [ 7– 10].
In particular, DBT improves the evaluation of soft tissue lesions, while allowing for an adequate evaluation of microcalcifications [ 11]. Although DBT provides 3D insight into the breast, the community agrees on the necessity of two-dimensional (2D) images to facilitate comparison with previous examinations and the evaluation of microcalcifications. To reduce the radiation exposure from the two examinations (DBT and mammography), the acquired DBT data are used to calculate synthetic 2D mammograms. The synthetic mammogram, despite having a lower image quality than mammography – e. g., due to motion artifacts [ 12] – allows for a diagnostic performance comparable to that of mammography if read in association with DBT [ 13, 14]. In a screening setting, the cancer detection rate was above 7.4 per 1000 screenings for DBT with either synthetic 2D mammograms or standard mammograms, with no significant difference [ 13].
While the acquisition of both standard mammographic views (craniocaudal and mediolateral oblique) is required in the clinical setting [ 15], the acquisition of a single view has been suggested in the screening setting, yielding promising results [ 16].
Therefore, DBT has already been suggested as an alternative to mammography in organized population-based breast screening programs. Further analysis, on the other hand, showed that recall rates are not decreased in screening programs with already low recall rates [ 9, 16]. Data on the effect of DBT on the rate of interval cancers are still limited [ 17], and thus its implementation in screening programs is still a matter of debate.
The ongoing technological development of dual-energy technology facilitated the introduction of contrast-enhanced mammography. As for DBT, images are acquired in the same position in which a standard mammogram is performed.
Before the examination, an iodine-based contrast medium is injected intravenously. Approximately 2 min after the examination, a standard mammography examination is performed. The device acquires two images during the same compression, a low- and a high-energy image. The low-energy image is used as standard mammography, while the high-energy image is post-processed in order to obtain an image in which only the enhancing lesions are visible [ 18].
The empirical evidence regarding the use of contrast-enhanced mammography is still limited. A meta-analysis of the available data demonstrated high sensitivity (91–100%) but heterogeneous and rather low specificity (32–88%) [ 19]. In a recent multi-reader analysis of 178 cancer patients [ 20], the performance of contrast-enhanced mammography was found to be better than mammography alone (area under the curve 0.84 vs. 0.76) and as good as MRI (0.85).
The examination is well tolerated by patients [ 21] and is of only minor risk to patients when guidelines on the use of iodinated contrast media are followed.
Suggested clinical applications currently overlap with those of breast MRI, ranging from staging, evaluation of inconclusive findings, and even screening of high-risk patients [ 18, 19]. Despite the initial positive results, the available evidence is not sufficient to recommend a broader use of contrast-enhanced mammography in breast cancer diagnosis and staging if mammography, ultrasound, and MRI are available.
Acoustic radiation force impulse imaging
Acoustic radiation force impulse (ARFI) is a relatively new development in the field of ultrasound elastography, aiming to evaluate tissue stiffness. A short-duration, high-intensity acoustic “pushing pulse” is transmitted by the probe, which causes subtle displacement of tissue in a perpendicular plane (shear waves). This is then followed by a series of diagnostic intensity pulses used to track these displacements [ 22]. The velocity of the generated shear waves depends on tissue stiffness and is generally higher in stiffer tissue. ARFI technology enables the qualitative as well as quantitative evaluation of shear wave velocity (SWV) in vivo with the use of either color-coded maps or quantification regions of interest. SWV is measured in meters per second (m/s). Since no manual compression is necessary, this technique has proven to be relatively user-independent and reproducible compared with usual strain elastography [ 22, 23].
Several studies have shown that ARFI can aid to distinguish benign from malignant breast lesions, using different reconstruction algorithms. Malignant lesions are usually stiffer than benign ones and different, yet quite divergent, cut-off values have been proposed. In our experience, using the most recent reconstruction algorithm (Virtual Touch IQ–VTIQ) and very low precompression (to avoid artificial tissue stiffening), a cut-off value of 3.23 m/s shows a high area under the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve of 0.853 [ 22]. Other studies using VTIQ proposed in part similar, in part different cut-off values [ 23, 24]. It is evident that more standardization is necessary, especially regarding the degree of precompression applied. Currently a large-scale, multicentric trial is underway to establish generally accepted cut-off values ( https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT02638935).
As a potential imaging biomarker, an interesting application of ARFI may be in “ruling in” or “ruling out” malignancy (Fig. 1). Initial data show that it is feasible to downgrade suspicious breast lesions according to B‑mode features without missing any invasive cancers or intermediate-to-high-grade in situ carcinomas if they are associated with a very low SWV. Thus, unnecessary breast biopsies may be avoided in up to 15% of cases [ 25]. On the other hand, a lesion demonstrating a very high SWV is highly likely to be malignant, irrespective of its B‑mode features and re-biopsy may be indicated in the case of a benign histological result.
Finally, elastography techniques in general have been shown to aid in the early evaluation of response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy with progressive tumor softening in responders. While there is yet no evidence on ARFI in this regard, it can be expected to provide readily available and quantifiable information in this setting.
Diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging
Contrast-enhanced MRI of the breast is the most sensitive method for detection of breast cancer, in particular of noncalcified lesions [ 26, 27]. The high sensitivity of contrast-enhanced MRI, however, comes at a price: Many enhancing lesions are not malignant but benign. Interpretation of breast MRI is experience-dependent, and inexperienced readers will in the case of doubt identify a lesion as positive, thus causing unnecessary biopsies and follow-up examinations [ 28]. To distinguish benign from malignant lesions, a variety of diagnostic criteria can be applied and evidence-based classification rules have been suggested [ 29]. Incorporating functional perfusion and morphological criteria, this algorithm may improve inexperienced reader performance to the level of experienced radiologists, thereby decreasing inter-reader variation [ 30]. In addition, the same formal algorithm has the potential to decrease unnecessary biopsies by more than 25% [ 31]. However, there still is a need for further simple and, if possible, quantitative diagnostic criteria.
Diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) is an MRI technique that does not require intravenous contrast medium injection. DWI measures water diffusion and thus allows conclusions to be drawn about tissue microstructure [ 32] (Fig. 1). The microstructural changes that influence water diffusion in neoplastic breast tissue are still poorly understood: In general, neoplastic tissues are characterized by changes in cellularity, proteolytic activity, and reactive desmoplastic induration leading to restricted extracellular water diffusion. DWI sequences qualitatively assess the molecular diffusion, which presents as a high signal when water movements are restricted [ 32]. Diffusion can be quantified by calculating the apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) from raw DWI images. High ADC values (>1.4 × 10 −3 mm/s) correspond to high diffusivity, a finding that generally rules out malignancy. It has been shown that by using a high ADC threshold, unnecessary biopsies may be omitted in different clinical settings [ 33, 34]. In addition, quantitative ADC measurements used as an imaging biomarker allow invasive breast cancer to be distinguished from in situ breast cancer with a sensitivity of 78% and a specificity of 90% (with a threshold of 1.01 × 10 mm/s) [ 35]. Finally, quantitative ADC is a promising marker to assess response to neo-adjuvant treatment as it is sensitive to variations in tumor cellularity and necrosis that appear as an increase in ADC values before changes in lesion size and morphology [ 36].
In this short review, we described four new technical developments that aid in breast imaging. While DBT is expected to improve breast cancer screening, ARFI and DWI aid in the assessment of breast lesions (Fig. 2). Contrast-enhanced mammography would potentially fit in, but the necessity of iodinated contrast media, the non-negligible radiation exposure, and limited evidence limit its use as basically all indications would be covered by breast MRI. The potential of all these techniques lies in avoiding unnecessary breast biopsies and in functional assessment of response to pharmacological treatment. Currently, there are still limitations regarding routine application of these techniques: While DBT has not yet shown improved screening outcomes, such improvements are already conceivable considering the evidence so far. Both quantitative techniques (ARFI and DWI) – in particular DWI – have been shown to have diagnostic value; however, there are unresolved issues of standardization that currently preclude the proposal of general thresholds [ 37]. It is already conceivable that such thresholds need to be established for each center, leading to new challenges regarding quality control procedures [ 38].

There are commonly determined to be 2 particular sets of knowledge in realty. Namely, seller representatives and purchaser brokers (or agents). Some real estate brokers deal with both sellers and also buyers, yet I choose not to do this in my profession for various factors.
My uncomplicated concentration is on the final result for the homeowner which is to market the home for the greatest earnings within the time frame preferred.
Creative imagination is no doubt the best necessary skill considering that it permits me to imagine what can be carried out to raise the value of and spruce up a house. Building and construction know-how is vital since it permits me to evaluate the prices of improvements. Neighborhood market conditions and also fads are actually useful in calculating the optimum price a home can easily cost in a particular market.
A purchaser realtor does not get a possibility to utilize the exact same set of capabilities that I am so pleased to appreciate as a seller agent.
I pay attention to the positive parts of the property. Obviously, I can easily observe the defects too, however I possess the opportunity of, and gain a lot of total satisfaction by, using my abilities to deal with or reduce the problems for little or no cost. This is extremely satisfying for my client too.
I believe it is best for property agents to focus on the areas that they appreciate the most as well as where their abilities can be used considering that it causes the most rewarding profession.

As the seller representative, I want to think of myself as an outstanding positive negotiator.
I possess the patience, the product, the passion, the persistence and also, most importantly, the persuasive, some could even say, powerful, personality. My God-given skills and also instruction are actually by nature fit extremely well to positive negotiations.
The buyer agent is typically a negative mediator, writing up due dates, deadlines, and demands and divulging deficiencies, defects, and discrepancies as well as demonstrating a downer, deadpan appearance, always appearing disheartened and disillusioned regarding the home of the seller, and displaying downright discouragement, disappointment, despondency, and dissatisfaction.
Certainly, this is actually an oversimplification but I have seen it happen a lot of times. I possess passion regarding the product I am selling: the residence is distinct, it is actually out-of-the-ordinary. I present myself as, as well as genuinely think that, I bargain coming from power, never from a position of weakness.
The buyer broker bargains from severe weakness, certainly never from strength. I am patient and polished, and will always appear to have all the time in the world on my side.
I begin holding 4 Aces while the purchaser real estate broker is actually holding a pair of 2s. I understand it, and the buyer representative very soon understands this as well. Certainly, I aid the purchaser real estate agent to grasp who possesses the power.
Purchaser real estate brokers often start to come around to my method of believing even with trying to disparage me at first as part of their negative negotiation methods.

10-20-11 Crosswalk safety education! (VIDEO)
Some pedestrians appear to be miss-interpreting the countdown as
a safe time to begin crossing the road, resulting in a potentially
The new countdown style pedestrian signals have been installed
at most major intersections in Boise. Officers have noticed
that many people don't understand the meaning of the
signals. Many of them cross the street when it is not legally
permitted, after the countdown has begun.
Idaho State code 49-803 makes it clear that no one shall leave
the curb to cross the street unless they are facing the steady
"walk" signal. Once the flashing hand, or "don't walk" signal
is showing, no one is permitted to start across the street, but
pedestrians who have already legally started to cross may continue
to the other side.
This means that when the countdown has begun on one of the new
street signs, it is not legal to begin crossing the street. The
countdown is there simply to advise those who are already crossing,
how long it may be before the light changes.
Officers have noted that many of the pedestrians using the
crosswalks may enter the intersection long after the countdown has
begun, and rush across the street to make it before the countdown
ends creating a potential hazard for the pedestrian and
Officers would ask pedestrians to slow down, observe the traffic
signals and follow the rules to keep our city intersections safer

Report on the L.A. Hearing Regarding Small Copyright Claims
As previously reported, Congress asked the U.S. Copyright Office (“CO”) to investigate the handling of small copyright claims. As part of the process, the CO recently conducted hearings in New York and last week in Los Angeles. Of note, the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office also is looking into small clams for patent and trademark matters.
I was honored to be on each of the panels at the LA hearings. Jacqueline Charlesworth, Senior Counsel to Register of Copyrights, and Catherine Rowland, Senior Counsel for Policy and International Affairs for the CO, led the hearing. A variety of interested persons attended, including representatives from NPPA (Alicia Calzada), Independent Film and Television Alliance, the National Writers Union, California Lawyers for the Arts (Alma Robinson and Erin Kunze), Peermusic (an independent music producer), and APA (Michael Grecco).
The panel members discussed the issues related to the possible tribunal, including the nature of tribunal, voluntary versus mandatory participation, the location of the tribunal or tribunals, the claims, defenses, and damages that would be litigated in the tribunal and how. Constitutional challenges seem to be the biggest hurdle to establish such a tribunal. But, in sum, the panelists appeared to deem a one-day mini trial or small claims hearing (similar to state court small claims matters) to be viable options.
The panels were recorded and a transcript of the hearings will be available to the public. The CO will take under advisement the panelists’ suggestions and will produce a report in September 2013. More information about the process is available at www.copyright.gov/docs/

Google’s founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin will step down from their roles as CEO and president of Alphabet Inc., Google’s parent company, respectively. Google’s current CEO, Sundar Pichai, will become the CEO of both Google and Alphabet.
“With Alphabet now well-established, and Google and the Other Bets operating effectively as independent companies, it’s the natural time to simplify our management structure,” the duo announced in a Google blog post on December 3. “Alphabet and Google no longer need two CEOs and a President.”
Page and Brin said they would continue to be “actively involved as Board members, shareholders, and co-founders.” Although they are distancing themselves from Alphabet’s day-to-day operations, the New York Times reported that the founders would still hold 51% of the company’s voting shares, allowing them to maintain majority control.
A foreseeable split
Pichai joined Google in 2004 and became its CEO in 2015, following the restructuring of the company and the establishment of Alphabet Inc. Alphabet allowed Page and Brin to simplify Google’s operations and separated it from other unrelated ventures, including self-driving cars, artificial intelligence, and life-extension technology.
Since Pichai became Google’s CEO in 2015, Page and Brin have been less involved in the operations of Alphabet, multiple sources reported. The founders were not present at Alphabet’s most recent shareholder meeting in June 2019 and Google employees say they haven’t been visible on Google’s Silicon Valley campus for years. Page was also absent at a 2018 U.S. House Committee on the Judiciary hearing held to examine Google’s data and privacy practices – an event where Pichai represented the company.
From where it all started
Page and Brin met at Stanford University in 1995 and launched the search engine Google in 1998. The company raised $1.66 billion in its initial public offering (IPO) in 2004 and Alphabet is now valued at nearly $900 billion.
Google Search, the company’s core business, is the most popular website globally, accounting for 90% of the market share. Google’s Android software powers about three-quarters of the world’s smartphones and Google also owns a portfolio of other tech powerhouses – including YouTube, Gmail, and Google Maps.
Scrutiny in recent years
In recent years, Google has faced antitrust investigations in the United States and Europe. The company has been accused of manipulating search results, collided with its own employees over labor organizing, and has been known for its messy handling of sexual harassment accusations.
“Some had seriously hoped Sergey and Larry would step in and fix Google,” Google Walkout for Real Change, the group behind the company’s employee walkout last year, shared on Twitter. “Instead of righting the sinking ship, they jumped ship.”
Following their exit, Page and Brin are both multibillionaires – “the epitome of Silicon Valley success as well as the embodiment of the American dream,” according to Forbes.

More than ten years have passed since entering the 21st century. Information travels around the world in an instant, and economic activities that go beyond borders are becoming increasingly active. Our lifestyles are supported by many technologies, and quality of life continues to improve even to this day. However, becoming a society with a high standard of living has brought upon us problems related to the environment and energy such as global warming, and we now must think about technology in terms of its potential contributions to the sustainable global society. Furthermore, here in Japan, there is a demand for the capability to cultivate new industries and create innovation in order to maintain global competitive strength. As the society of the 21st century becomes more diverse and complex, society has greater expectations towards graduate education in science and engineering than ever before.
The educational philosophy of the Graduate School of Science and Engineering is to foster advanced professionals and researchers that have mastered advanced theories and technologies related to specialized fields of science and engineering, and possess the ability to make creative discoveries. Additionally, in order to play an effective role on a global level, we must develop human resources who possess professional capabilities that meet international standards and who can globally transmit the results of world-class research. Academic fields in science and engineering require the accumulation of knowledge, and in order to reach the expectations of companies and society, it is necessary to provide a set period of time and training for students to learn fundamentals. Graduate School of Science and Engineering is a place where students can obtain profound knowledge in specialized fields and learn to apply them in practical settings by doing research. Through research, one’s own knowledge can be reconstructed and systematized, which makes it possible to accurately identify issues in leading areas of technology, and can lead to a new understanding.
We offer programs in four majors at the Graduate School of Science and Engineering: Advanced Mathematics and Physics, Advanced Electrical, Electronic and Computer Systems, Advanced Mechanical Engineering and Robotics, and Advanced Architectural, Environmental and Civil Engineering. Our graduate school is staffed with a team of professors that are capable of fulfilling our educational philosophy, and well-equipped with facilities such as laboratories that fulfill essential requirements for advancing education and research. Through our active advancement of joint research with the national government and corporations, our graduate school is also characterized by its strong partnerships with other organizations and its industry-government-academia collaboration. Our research capabilities are highly regarded on an international level, and our students present their research results not only here in Japan, but also in English at overseas academic conferences. Another program we are actively implementing is GRGP (Global-ready Graduate Program), a program where research is conducted at a university abroad for a set period of time. Almost half of our undergraduate program’s students advance to our graduate school, and after graduating, find employment in companies and organizations in science and engineering industries that provide the backbone to Japanese society, and the graduates play a central role in the front lines of society. That is why the educational system of the Graduate School of Science and Engineering places great importance on its connections to undergraduate education. As technology reaches new depths and continues to advance, new issues emerge. The Graduate School of Science and Engineering aims to foster human resources equipped with in-depth knowledge and skills that will act as leaders and work to resolve these issues, who will push forward with courage towards the creation of a new set of values and make a difference on a global scale.

There are over 250 of us now…so lots of people work together day in and day out to make Dogfish Head, Dogfish Head.
Founded by Sam and Mariah Calagione back in 1995, Dogfish continues to be an independent, family-controlled company moving in a slightly off-centered direction.
When we opened in downtown Rehoboth as the smallest commercial brewery, we began with a straight forward, but unorthodox mission: off-centered ales for off-centered people. Flash forward to today. We're a bigger - but still small - brewery, with the same mission.
Thanks to a lot of awesome fans who believe in what we are doing as a company we have a lot of passionate, talented and team-oriented co-workers who have come together to grow this company into a very special community.
With bocce tournaments, dress-up days, the most ridiculous Holiday Hootenanny ever and Beer:30 Fridays, Dogfish puts a little off-centered into everything we do.
Together we are heavy.
Want to join our team? Check out our current career opportunities!

Peeps have spent the last two days making important decisions about Petrichore. Peeps voted that Jeff should be our permanent moderator and Abigail should be the scribe. Additional, a town center has been chosen! As of now there are plans for a hospital, 'nudie beach', art gallery, and market. A group of peeps is working to create a drive in movie theater--all we know is that the story line of the movie will involve dragons.
Homesteaders have enjoyed participating in team building activities and various versions of capture the flag. Acts for campfire are starting to be planned, and we look forward to Friday's performances.

On January 19th, the 4th day of the 1st week for the LCK 2019 Spring Season took place at the LoL Park, South Korea. The 2nd match was between Griffin and Jin Air Green Wings, in which Griffin overwhelmed Jin Air Green Wings in both sets, giving only 1 kill and no turrets. It was a perfect victory even though Griffin tried a new team comp in the first set, picking Urgot, Evelyn, Sion, Vladimir, and Ornn.
Following is the interview with Griffin’s AD Carry, Viper.
How do you feel about your victory?
It feels great since we won like we should in a true tournament -- a perfect win. We would trade a lot and get many kills and deaths when we are practicing but this time, I’m satisfied with how we tried to play without giving our enemy any opportunities in today’s match like a true tournament. Although one of us did die...
How did you feel after you picked Vladimir?
I wanted us to win. When we saw our opponent team picking Ezreal first, I told my teammates that we should go for Vladimir, and we thought we won in that moment. We only thought about how we should play the game. The drafts worked out as we expected.
Weren’t you frustrated that you didn’t get picked as MVP today even though you carried as Vladimir?
I did get picked as MVP many times with my Vladimir last summer, so… Personally, I wanted to see Sword get picked as MVP today but Tarzan did just too great. I do think that we might be able to see Sword getting picked as MVP soon, though.
It was the first time your team picked Ornn as support today. Did you find it good during your practice?
I don’t know. Ornn wasn’t designed as a support so I don’t think it was very helpful for me. It felt like I had to take on enemy bot laners by myself so I did feel some burden on myself until Ornn had learned his ultimate skill. It feels better when we work on our team comp… I think it will be alright once I get used to it, although it almost did feel like an Elise support. I think he made that choice because the fights over the objectives have become more crucial nowadays.
Griffin has been performing well so you must be getting high expectations. Your goal for this season must be different from others; is there any other goal you have than just winning?
We can think about the next only after we won in this season. There are still a number of matches we have to play in and it feels weird since people regard highly of us. We want to think only about the games we have left and try hard.
Your first week was off to a great start, and you will be playing against HLE and DAMWON Gaming next week. DAMWON has also been doing great, and they want to win against Griffin.
It will be fun. Both of us and DAMWON changed very much since we met in the Challengers League… I don’t know how they will play. Just like we did, DAMWON improved very much after they joined the LCK. It certainly won’t be easy but it will be fun for sure.
You missed out on a ban in the second game. Why is that?
We wanted to but we couldn’t. I can’t say why, though. But I think it turned out to be better that way.
What is your thought on DAMWON’s bot laners?
I don’t really have anything to say. I think five of us play better so obviously, I think our bot laners will win against them. We wanted to display a game with different quality and fun from other games for people who will be watching.
Lastly, would you like to say anything?
We’ve only played two games so far but I am thankful that there are people regard highly of us. I hope this will be the season where we get to try hard and prepare well in order to finish it with fun, and make it to the playoffs where we get to take on another chance to win again.

Confidential and sensitive details of over 198 million US citizens were leaked online by an analytics firm hired by the Republican National Committee.
Personal and sensitive details of 198 million US citizens were stored in an unprotected Amazon cloud server which anyone could access by using a web address.
Deep Root Analytics, a marketing and analytics firm, was entrusted by the Republican party to gather data on voters from across the country for a fee of $1 million. Once it had compiled data on 198 million US voters, the firm decided to store all of it on an unprotected Amazon cloud server.
Sensitive US intelligence data stored in unprotected cloud by defence contractor
Access to the data wasn't protected by a password and anyone in possession of its web address could access it and even redistribute it. Personal details of voters included their names, home addresses, dates of birth, phone numbers, religious affiliations, political views, ethnicities and their respective views on gun control, stem cell research and the right to abortion.
The leak was first observed by Chris Vickery, a researcher at security firm UpGuard. Vickery noted that Deep Root Analytics obtained data on nearly 200 million US citizens from a large number of Reddit posts as well as from other firms like Data Trust, The Kantar Group, TargetPoint Consulting, Inc., and American CrossRoads.
Following the revelation, Deep Root Analytics claimed full responsibility for the leak but also stressed that the data was not breached by any third party.
Data breach at University of East Anglia reveals students' personal details
"We take full responsibility for this situation. Based on the information we have gathered thus far, we do not believe that our systems have been hacked. Since this event has come to our attention, we have updated the access settings and put protocols in place to prevent further access," said Alex Lundry, founder of Deep Root Analytics to Gizmodo.
According to security firm UpGuard, data belonging to nearly all of America’s 200 million registered voters were obtained by the Republican National Committee by using data analytics firms like Deep Root Analytics, TargetPoint, and Data Trust and also by influencing potential voters to predict their behaviour.
"The RNC data repository would ultimately acquire roughly 9.5 billion data points regarding three out of every five Americans, scoring 198 million potential US voters on their likely political preferences using advanced algorithmic modeling across forty-eight different categories," wrote UpGuard journalist Dan O'Sullivan in a blog post.
Details of 16,000 weapon licence-holders exposed in US cyber-attack
"That such an enormous national database could be created and hosted online, missing even the simplest of protections against the data being publicly accessible, is troubling. The ability to collect such information and store it insecurely further calls into question the responsibilities owed by private corporations and political campaigns to those citizens targeted by increasingly high-powered data analytics operations," he added.
This isn't the first time that sensitive details of citizens have been stored in unprotected cloud servers. Earlier this month, US defence contractor Booz Allen Hamilton stored classified and sensitive defence data on Amazon's unprotected S3 cloud storage. The stored data was publicly accessible and was connected to a US department responsible for battlefield satellite and drone surveillance imagery.
The unprotected data contained information on Booz Allen Hamilton engineer's remote login (SSH) keys as well as login credentials for another system owned by the contractor. If discovered by malafide hackers, the login credentials could have been used to unearth more sensitive and classified data connected to US defence departments.
"Despite the breadth of this breach, it will doubtlessly be topped in the future—to a likely far more damaging effect—if the ethos of cyber resilience across all platforms does not become the common language of all internet-facing systems," O'Sullivan added.
“How the leak occurred demonstrates that the threat to data doesn't always come from cybercriminals - it can just as easily happen if someone doesn't understand the vulnerabilities of different platforms. There was no malice here, just a lack of education and it highlights just how profound the unintentional insider threat can be," said Dr. Jamie Graves, CEO at ZoneFox.
"All companies are in the business of data. As such they've got to ensure they have visibility into their most prized asset and know the security limitations of their chosen platform in order to be in control of their information. After all, if they aren't in the driving seat how can they protect it?” he added.

Automobili Lamborghini has sent two Miuras from its Museum down the route used in the film 'The Italian Job'.
It comes as part of Lamborghini’s celebrations commemorating the 50th anniversary of the iconic Miura which starred in the film. Directed by Peter Collinson. In the opening sequence of the 1969 cult motion picture, the cars travelled up the hairpin curves of state road 27 around Great St. Bernard mountain, in the heart of the Italian Alps.
At the event, the “fathers” of the Miura met in a reunion, gathering together the engineers Gian Paolo Dallara and Paolo Stanzani - who were in charge of the technical side, and Marcello Gandini who came up with the exterior design for Carrozzeria Bertone.
Vehicles from the ANAS (the government-owned Italian company that builds and maintains roads) and the Polizia Stradale (Highway Patrol) escorted the Lamborghini super sports cars up to the Great St. Bernard Pass, which was opened on a one-time basis for this event only.
We are happy to confirm that on this occasion, no Miuras were pushed into a ravine by Mafia driven bulldozer.
If you'd like to relive the original Lamborghini Miura's drive along the Alpine pass, check out the opening title sequence here...
And if you haven't got the DVD in your collection, put that right at once!

Did you know the cosmetics industry is a multi-billion-dollar industry? The global cosmetic products market should reportedly reach a market value of $805.61 billion by 2023, remarkably up from $532.43 billion in 2017. According to Orbis Research, the cosmetics industry is expected to register a CAGR of 7.14% during 2018-2023 on a global scale.
After doing well even in the time of economic strife in 2008, the industry promises to stay strong in the future. L’Oréal (with brands like L’Oréal Paris, Garnier, Maybelline New York, and Softsheen), Unilever (with brands like Axe/Lynx, Dove, Lifebuoy, Pond’s, Close-Up, TRESemmé, Suave, Sunsilk, and Vaseline), Estée Lauder, Proctor and Gamble (with brands like Head & Shoulders, Herbal Essences, Ivory, Olay, Pantene, Safeguard, and Oral-B), and Coty (Adidas, Max Factor, Rimmel, Sally Hansen and Wella) have been leading the global cosmetics market for decades now.
Through their wide array of products and services, these companies help us to look our best. As it turns out, the market can be categorized product wise, viz. skincare products, haircare products, color cosmetics, fragrances, personal care products, and oral care products. These products could be further classified basis different skin tones, age, gender and so on.
It is but obvious to find some conscious consumers trying a number products before discovering something that works great for their skin and hair. In recent years, natural products have become a staple in the personal care segment too.
If you are in Jaipur, Shoppers Stop which is located in Malviya Nagar covers a wide range of cosmetic products.

Standing in front of 11 large plastic bags containing 38.5 pounds (17.5 kilograms) of popcorn, Shaw claimed a person could buy that amount directly from a farmer for US$5 (€3.65). He pointed to a bag of movie theater popcorn on a nearby table and said it costs the consumer just as much, if not more.
Some food companies argue that escalating corn prices, sparked by the increasing demand for ethanol, has forced them to raise prices for items containing corn, including meat and dairy products from animals that are fed the grain. It has been dubbed the "food-versus-fuel debate."
When it comes to popcorn, Shaw said, recent claims that movie-goers will pay 25 cents (18 euro cents) more per bag of popcorn because of the ethanol demand is ridiculous.
The US$5 (€3.65) bucket of movie popcorn, he said, contains just .15 pounds (.07 kilograms) of corn before popping. The bucket contained slightly more than a penny (less than a euro cent) of popcorn, he said. Higher corn prices means the moviegoer is getting about 2 cents (1 euro cent) of popcorn per bucket, he said.

I need to print my entire contact list that is saved to the Verizon cloud. However, when I go to file, print, it only prints the first 2 pages of my contacts. I tried selecting all of my contacts, but it will not allow that. I tried select all and that did not work either. Any ideas? Thanks.

On this sunny Thanksgiving Day morning I give thanks for many things. I give thanks for Little A waking me up at 2 am. I give thanks for not being able to fall back asleep until 6 am. I give thanks for Little A being hungry again at 6 am.
Thanksgiving is truly a day to give thanks for whatever makes you happy in life. We all have much to be grateful for regardless of where we are and what we have.
As I type and sip my coffee from a travel mug (my wife prohibits me from drinking from open containers in the living room since the Coffee Table Runner Incident of October occurred), I realize how truly happy I am. You may ask aren’t you exhausted? Wouldn’t you prefer to sleep in on Thanksgiving? The obvious answer is yes. However, when I look at the alternative of not having this awesome family of three, I rub my eyes, put another pot of java on and gladly go about my day.
Happy Thanksgiving to all!

Yes, I've celebrated his birthday for the last couple of years on this blog and I aim to keep on doing it. Jim Garner remains my all-time favourite actor and I never get tired of watching his many great film roles and sketching my impressions of him. For this year's caricature, I watched The Great Escape, the classic WWII film from 1963, which was based on the true story of a POW prison breakout. Jim Garner plays Lt. Hendley, also known as "The Scrounger", for his ability to scrounge all manner of raw materials from within the camp that can then be jerry-rigged into usable tools to be utilized in the digging of not one, but three tunnels to the woods outside the fence!
The Great Escape is a hugely thrilling epic that I've watched a number of times over the years, though I try to limit my viewings so that it still feels fresh every time I watch it. There's a lot of humanity in the film, most notably in the friendship that develops between Garner's Lt. Hendley and Blythe, "The Forger" played by British character actor, Donald Pleasence. Just prior to the planned breakout, it's decided that poor Blythe is to be left behind in the camp due to the risk he presents to the mission, having suffered a deterioration of his eyesight to the point of near blindness. Hendley insists that Blythe still be included, offering to take full responsibility for getting him out and away under his protection. That act of kindness and human decency is a trait I like to attribute to Jim Garner in real life, too. Jim has always been outspoken on various issues on which he takes a principled stand, often being honest to the point of bluntness in his opinions. Many of his film roles have portrayed him as, if not the typical "hero", then certainly the "reluctant hero" who may wish to avoid trouble if he can, but will rise to the occasion when necessary.
As I've mentioned in a past entry, I got to meet Jim Garner back in 1982 when he was starring in NBC's Bret Maverick, a sequel series to his classic original Maverick from about 20 years before. Here is a photo that was taken on that occasion showing me and my friend Bryan Stoller with Jim, actress Darleen Carr and singer/actor Ed Bruce on the set at Warner Brothers. I wish that I'd had a better camera - where was digital when I needed it? Also, I'm kicking myself for having blinked when the pic was taken! Still, I'm happy to report that Jim Garner was as charismatic and nice in person as he often appears in his film and TV roles, and it was such a thrill to meet him. Happy Birthday, Jim!

Every week, AHA Today showcases a new grant, fellowship, or scholarship of interest to historians which has been posted to our free Calendar. This week we are featuring NEH Humanities Access grants.
Humanities Access grants help support capacity building for humanities programs that benefit one or more of the following groups: children, family, and young adults (defined to include those between ages 18 and 30).
Humanities Access grants provide funding for existing programs at institutions such as public libraries, local and regional museums, historical societies, community colleges, four-year colleges and universities, archival repositories, and other cultural organizations.
Programs supported by Humanities Access grants have included, for example:
– a young readers’ initiative sponsored by a state humanities council;
– a “family conversations” program at a rural historical society connecting the area’s cultural and natural resources; and
– internships for students at a liberal arts college to work in local cultural organizations during the summer.
Humanities Access Grants offer two years of match-based funding. All funds must be expended by the end of the grant period. Humanities Access grant funds should not be used to replace existing program funds. Instead, the grant should expand or enhance an existing exemplary humanities program.
Institutions that have never received an NEH grant and small to mid-sized institutions are especially encouraged to apply.
End: May 3, 2017

Alia Bhatt is currently the hottest actress going around in Bollywood. She has just been bestowed the Filmfare Best Actress award for her energetic show in that fun caper Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahani and we figured that it was time to complile the best Alia Bhatt movies list.
HINDI MOVIES & SERIES
She debuted in 2012, but in the short span since then, she has established herself not only as a top starlet but also as a creditable actress- already winning the National Award in 2023.
- Top 10 Hrithik Roshan Movies
- Top 10 Deepika Padukone Movies: The Undisputed Queen of Bollywood
- 10 Best Shah Rukh Khan movies you should have already watched
When she arrived, she was labelled a ‘no kid’ (daughter of filmmaker Mahesh Bhatt and actress Soni Razdan). Now she is a capable artist in her own right and that is how you make your critics eat humble pie. Let talent and performance speak.
10 Best Alia Bhatt Movies
Here’s a compilation of the 10 best Alia Bhatt movies. Films like Udta Punjab, which deserve to get on the list, are not included here simply because they’re not currently available on any streaming platform.
Student of the Year (2012)
Directed by Karan Johar, the film was every inch blingy and loud. But that was the idea. This launch pad for Alia Bhatt, Varun Dhawan and Sidharth Malhotra — all of them gawky on screen — was a commercial success but was panned by critics.
Among the three newcomers, it was Alia Bhatt who was criticized the most. Many, in fact, wrote her off. That she has reached the levels she has now is a testimony to her perseverance and ability. SOTY had good songs and a standalone sequel. But none of the leads of the original was part of it.
Highway was Alia Bhatt’s second movie, and this Imtiaz Ali directorial showed the world that Alia had what it takes to be a good actress. She broke her mould from SOTY.
In this kidnap-romance drama, her character has depth, and Alia is able to exploit that. This road film subversively turns the kidnap idea upside down. The kidnapping is a liberation for the lead—the film, which had Randeep Hooda as the male lead, had fabulous songs from A R Rahman. An actress was born in this film.
Highway is available to watch from Disney+ Hotstar.
2 States (2014)
This cross-cultural love story between a Tamil Brahmin girl and a Punjabi boy was better than the book (writer Chetan Bhagat’s own story).
The film stars Arjun Kapoor and Alia Bhatt in the lead roles, with Rohit Roy, Amrita Singh, Revathi, and Shiv Kumar Subramaniam in supporting roles.
If you are a Tamil, you’ll know Alia’s character is not a true creation but a mere reflection of popular stereotypes. But that is the fault of writing and direction (Abhishek Varman). Alia was, however, sincere and diligent, even if less than convincing.
But this cross-film is an important one in her career and is among the movies that get regular rewatches. It is fun to watch this.
Kapoor & Sons
This film once again brought together SOTY stars Sidharth Malhotra and Alia. Again, it was a Karan Johar production, though the direction was by Shakun Bhatra.
Kapoor & Sons is about a dysfunctional family, and apart from Sid and Alia, the film stars Rishi Kapoor, Fawad Khan, Ratna Pathak Shah and Rajat Kapoor.
The film, about human inadequacies, stays most entertaining. Despite the focus on the two male leads, Alia managed to hold her own and turned out an impressive and likeable performance as Tia Malik, a woman caught between two brothers.
Dear Zindagi (2016)
This Gauri Shinde directorial was deemed a path-breaker for normalizing therapy and has encouraged many youngsters to seek help.
Alia plays a budding cinematographer who suffers from insomnia after going through a series of career and relationship downturns. She then encounters a shrink, an unconventional thinker, who helps her gain a new perspective on life.
In a character that is difficult to like, Alia was fantastic. Alia gave a true performance without much makeup or hairstyle. The film continues to resonate with those who find their life at a crossroads in their twenties.
The film is based on Harinder Sikka’s 2008 novel Calling Sehmat. It is the real story of an Indian espionage agent who gets married into a family of military officers in Pakistan to relay information to India.
Set around the tumultuous backdrop of the Indo-Pak war of 1971, Alia plays Sehmat Khan, the 20-year-old Kashmiri girl thrust into the world of espionage to serve her country.
In one word, she was ‘terrific’. It is a complex role as she had to deal with various strands of her life — an espionage agent and a vulnerable wife. Alia dealt with the moral complexities of her character with rare assurance.
Directed by Meghna Gulzar, the film also features Vicky Kaushal, Rajit Kapur, Shishir Sharma, and Jaideep Ahlawat in supporting roles.
Gully Boy (2019)
This was a never-before character for Alia. Bhatt’s character, Safeena, who fights for the right to live life on her own terms. An aspiring doctor character who is full of panache, wit, and courage, Alia is fully up to it.
Alia excelled in bringing out the bold, upfront and reckless side of Safeena, even when showing the vulnerability of her character. Be it her breakup with her boyfriend or her pleading to her mother to let her finish her studies and then get her married, Alia delivered a pitch-perfect performance in this Zoya Akhtar directorial. It’s easily one the best Alia Bhatt movies.
Inspired by the lives of Indian street rappers, the film is a coming-of-age story about one such musician from the Dharavi slums. Ranveer Singh was cast in the titular role.
This dark comedy showed why Alia and Shefali Shah are among the best female performers in the country. As an unconventional mother and daughter, the two were a hoot and inspirational for their no-nonsense attitude towards life.
Directed by Jasmeet K Reen, the film was a huge success on Netflix, where it premiered. The film received more than 10 million watching hours globally in its opening weekend, the highest for any non-English original Indian film. This was also Alia’s first movie as a producer (she co-produced it with Gauri Khan and Gaurav Verma).
Gangubai Kathiawadi (2022)
In a larger-than-life role, Alia was really larger than life. Little wonder her power-packed performance got her first National award.
She played the eponymous Gangubai, one of the most powerful, loved and respected madams from Kamathipura during the 1960s. The hard-hitting story of a sex worker who rises through the ranks of 60s gangland Mumbai is powered by the magnetic performance of Alia.
This Sanjay Leela Bhansali film also starred Shantanu Maheshwari, Vijay Raaz, Indira Tiwari, Seema Pahwa, Jim Sarbh and Ajay Devgn.
Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahani (2023)
Rocky Aur Rani is one of Alia Bhatt’s recent releases and has landed her a Filmfare award. It is appropriate that it is for a film directed by Karan Johar. After all, her career started under the charismatic director.
The film is a fascinating attempt at addressing the clash between progressiveness and tradition. And Alia and Ranveer, as contrasting personalities, are simply superb.
He gives a rock-star performance, and Alia matches him step for step in a diva-like show as a media journalist in love with a loud, typical Punjabi guy from Delhi.
With rambunctious music, eye-catching outfits, and spirited dance, Alia gave it her all in this masala entertainer.
An engineer-turned-journalist, K Balakumar’s career began in print publications as a sports writer. That also opened doors for other journalistic avenues like films, music, finance, technology and politics, which nobody can escape in India. After 30 yrs in mainstream journalism, now a freelancer for various digital publications.

Homer Simpson on TomTom
Earlier today, TomTom posted a major drop in profit for the third quarter of 2010. How major? About 37%. That may not be the deathknell for the Dutch telematics company, but TomTom clearly needs to revamp its strategy if it wants to avoid the corporate coffin down the line.
Part of TomTom's problem is beyond its control, stemming from the weakness of the dollar. When TomTom's sales in the U.S. are converted to euros, they generate far less revenue than they once did. (We saw the same problem a couple of years ago in Japan, which led Honda to call for artificial devaluation of the yen.) The euro is slowly weakening, so the differences between it and the U.S. dollar may soon minimize, but for the time being, TomTom is warning investors that it expects flat profits for 2010.
TomTom's other major problem is, of course, that many, many other companies now do what TomTom does -- and often, for less. OnStar, for example, offers many of TomTom's features, with the added advantage of linking subscribers with live operators in case of emergencies. Smartphone apps like Google Maps and Waze provide goodies like turn-by-turn navigation, updates on speed traps, and other useful driver info -- and they do it for free. And let's not forget TomTom's direct competitors like Garmin, which are in the same boat and breathing down TomTom's neck.
So far, TomTom's strategy seems focused on brokering deals with automakers like Mazda and Renault to make its devices optional (or sometimes standard equipment) in new vehicles -- which is fine, but that seems more an act of circling the wagons than striking out for new tech territory. The company's stock price has fallen from €56 a share in 2007 to about €6 today, which says that we're not the only ones who see the dikes are ready to burst. Clearly TomTom has to make some decisions, lest he company be left in the same tomb of the tech universe to which answering machine manufacturers were relegated a decade ago.

The billionaire candy magnate who does big business in Russia took office with tough words for “the neighbors” next door.
Petro Poroshenko repeated what he told Russia’s president during their informal meeting in France this week that Crimea is Ukrainian and always will be.
In his inaugural address Petro Poroshenko also called on paramilitary groups in eastern Ukraine to lay down their weapons. He said if any “Russian mercenaries” wish to return home, Ukraine will give them safe passage, but Poroshenko didn’t waver from his campaign message that he will not negotiate with the fighters he calls “terrorists.”
After his swearing in, the new president sent a strong message to Russia and to Crimea-the country’s southern peninsula that seceded in March to join Russia.
CCTV’s Stephanie Freid reports.

There are also reports of an expected meeting Sunday between Kremlin and Kiev officials. CCTV’s Nathan King joins us with more on whether a deal is possible.
