Although that much wanted and needed slumber may seem to never come for the new mom, there are tips to follow for aid in getting to sleep. In addition to sleeping on a comfortable bed, mom will also want some calming time to help her drift off for a healthy sleep.
Sleep may be a difficult to achieve task for many, but when one is a new mom it becomes most important to keep mom healthy and in the best shape to take care of baby. Too little sleep will have mommy putting lives at risk both emotionally and physically. The new mom needs to learn how to sing herself a lullaby just as she does for her little one.
Although each person is different, with some needing less sleep than others, generally a proper night of sleep is around seven hours. For new moms getting too little sleep it means that they are being detrimental to their own mental health as well as their child’s.
Lack of shuteye can lead to depression and lack of care for oneself and baby. Even as young as newborn will sense when mommy is depressed – which in turn can cause mental anguish for the baby as well. In addition to depression lack of sleep can also put the family at physical risk.
When mom is overtired and gets behind the wheel it can be just as dangerous as driving drunk. So, to keep all safe it is most important for mom to be well rested with a full night’s sleep.
Although no one tip may be the magic needed to lull one to dreamland, sleep tips can be wonderful aids in helping mommy get the slumber she so needs. Some aids will also assist in giving mom the all-important me time that she may feel has been lost after baby’s birth.
Use some time before sleep time to wind down and relax. Whether in bed or on the sofa try to take an hour prior to bedtime to listen to music, watch a favorite show, read a book, or just have important alone time with a partner. It is important to keep discussions about chores and paying bills away from this relaxation time. After an hour turn of alone time turn off the lights and cozy into bed for dream time.
Mom you do not need to do it all by yourself if there are others who can help. Ask for help from your partner. Even if the other parent heads to work during daytime, an early night and early morning caring for baby shift can be taken to help mom get sleep. If grandma is staying over for newborn assistance than do not be afraid to ask for nighttime aid as well.
Turning room lights on at night will disturb both mommy and baby’s production of the body’s natural melatonin hormone that induces sleep. A soft nightlight will eliminate this issue as it guides one with just enough light to get tasks completed, such as tending to baby and bathroom needs.
With light affecting melatonin production one may want to make sure any unnecessary lights are all off. This includes the glow of a TV and alarm clock. Keep electronics turned off at night whenever possible.
Make sure that dinner should be consumed at least three hours or more before bedtime. Eating late may result in indigestion that could cause sleep problems. Have an early dinner supplemented by a light bedtime snack of a couple of cookies and a glass of warm milk.
Alcohol may be a tempting sip to relax the day’s worries away but instead it works against one when it comes time for bed. That glass of vino gives the body more to do working to metabolize it. In addition, alcohol is a diuretic that can keep one up with bathroom trips and feeling dehydrated.
Caffeine may be what one craves in the morning to wake up but it also works against one when it comes to craving sleep. Curb the caffeine at least six hours prior to bed. This does not just mean coffee, but also caffeinated teas and even some medications used for headache, pain, and menstrual issues. And do not forget that yummy chocolate is made with caffeine too.
Once the body has time to lay down and sleep it seems like it is time for the mind to go to work thinking endlessly. Try some mental exercises as distractions like counting backward from 300 by threes. This will work to keep the mind busy but free from sleep disturbing thoughts.
In addition, keep a note pad next to the bed to write down sudden thoughts. This will free the mind from having to remember something important for the next day and allow it to sleep.
Use some of that hour of relaxation before bedtime for some bathroom me time. Enjoy a soak in a warm tub for a half hour of relaxation. If not enough time for a bath, then take a nice soothing hot shower. The water will work to calm away the day’s tensions in order to induce sleep.
Meditation can be a great technique to help one relax and find sleep. There are smartphone apps and video tutorials that can talk one through a guided process. There are also very simple mediation exercises to do such as picturing oneself in a serene place. Or picture each limb falling asleep, from the toes up, until the entire body is drifting off to slumber.
Yoga can be a great way to wind down before bed. There are specific poses that will help to encourage sleep. Make sure to find a pose that will work for individual health needs and wants.
The baby monitor may help one here an infant in distress but it can also keep waking a new mom when baby simply coos during sleep. Placing a white noise machine in the baby’s room at night will mask these quiet sounds while allowing for the little one’s cries of distress to still be heard.
Breastfeeding mom often feel they have no recourse but to do it all themselves at night. This adds to sleep deprivation for mommy. There are a couple of tips to help those nursing to achieve better sleep.
At least during the newborn phase have the baby stay in a bassinet right next to the bed. This will save time when it is time to nurse. Mommy can feed baby without rising from bed, allowing for as little sleep disturbance time as possible.
Do not let breastfeeding be the excuse for a partner to not do feedings. Pumping the breasts will allow for milk to be placed in bottles for others in the household to take on nighttime feeding. This can give mommy a break for some much-needed snooze time.
If all else fails, there are over-the-counter and prescription sleep aids. These should only be taken after consulting with a medical professional. Keep in mind too that taking anything while breastfeeding means that it could be affecting baby too.
This can be anything from a diphenhydramine allergy medication, such as Benadryl, to a doxylamine succinate sleep aid, like Unisom. These antihistamines work to sedate at night but can also cause drowsiness during daytime too.
The body naturally produces the hormone melatonin that controls the cycle of sleeping and waking. For some taking a melatonin supplement works as an aid for falling to sleep.
Herbal remedies can also help promote sleep. Valerian root supplements have been seen to help reduce anxiety for a better sleep with no side effects.
For short-term needs the long time go-to for prescription sleep aid has been drugs like Halcion and Restoril. Be aware that one may feel hung over in the morning and that these meds can become addicted if used for too long.
These sleep aids should be used for short term as well. Drugs in this class include Ambien, Sonata, and Lunesta. Although there does not seem to be many common side effects, there can be a serious one called parasomnia resulting in activities such as sleep driving.
Rozerem is the only melatonin agonist medication that is FDA-approved for insomnia. It works to mimic natural melatonin to help in falling asleep, instead of as the others do in slowing the central nervous system.
Sleep problems can be a symptom of depression. A medical professional will determine if this is the case and, if so, may prescribe an antidepressant to resolve the issue. Silenor is the only antidepressant that has been FDA-approved to be used in very small doses as a specific sleep aid for keeping from waking during the night.
Sleep is of utmost importance for keeping the new mom in the best of health to care for baby. With helpful tips and the advice from medical professionals the elusive sleep can be achieved.
Be sure to have a wonderful GhostBed mattress along with lullaby inducing GhostBed pillows to incite the best sleep experience possible.

Bloomington Church Student Welcome - All incoming Illinois State, Heartland Community College, and Illinois Wesleyan students AND their parents are invited to the ISU Young Group welcome dinner on Sunday, August 19th at the Bloomington Church. The evening will begin at 4 p.m. with a pizza party to kick off the upcoming year's activities!
The congregation is also encouraged to donate fresh produce for the farmers market and bake items for the Bake Sale.
The Silver Lining - is seeking contributors for their next special article: “Mission Work at Home: What are the Ways to Share Christ with your Friends and Neighbors.” This is not to showcase your efforts, but to encourage others about the many opportunities that are available. Additional information is on the bulletin board or you can contact Sis. Barb Schwind.
Your Gifts in His Body - There are many blessings that we receive by being a part of our church family. Some of those blessings are the opportunities we have to support each other both in the good times and difficult times of life. Recently an effort has begun to connect those in our church that could benefit from the support of their church family with those who want to provide that support. The title of this new endeavor is "Your Gifts in His Body". In a larger church sometimes needs can be overlooked even though there are many willing people who want to be involved. A committee has been developed to discuss how we can better serve one another in the body of Christ. As a way to begin, we will have a Spiritual Gifts Bible Study on Wed. evening 9/12 and once again take the Spiritual Gifts survey. The results of this survey will be used to identify how individuals can help as needs arise within the church. If you have a need that you would like assistance with from within our church please contact Sis. Marjorie Bertschi at 309-253-0151 or marjoriebertschi@gmail.com. If you have questions about this new effort you can contact Bro. Matt Feucht.

Over the past year, Comcast and other broadband providers have been forcing tiered data plans on customers. The New York Times recently speculated that these plans might be part of a strategy to stunt the growth of internet video.
In 2011, Comcast generated $55B in revenue and $8.4B in pre-tax profits. Goldman rates the stock a “buy” because Comcast “pushed through rate hikes on both video and broadband access across two-thirds of the [customer] base in Q1 2102″ (Goldman Sach, “Comcast Corp”, May 2, 2012).

You can volunteer for the New Hope Cambodia School, Helen Bonner Health Centre and the Community Development program.
New Hope Cambodia is a grass roots, yet rapidly growing non government organization (NGO) that relies heavily on the support of volunteers to enable it to continuously provide humanitarian aid.
New Hope Cambodia’s Volunteer Program is open to people of all ages, singles, couples and families from all walks of life (under 18 years old must be accompanied by an adult or Guardian). The main qualifications are enthusiasm, commitment and a flexible attitude.
Prospective volunteers must complete our Volunteer Application Form. Prior to submitting a Volunteer Application Form please read through our Frequently Asked Questions.
The School educates around 1000 students daily, teaching English, math, computer skills, moral and gender equality and sewing. We are always in need of fluent English-speaking volunteers to support our Khmer teachers in the classrooms with pronunciation and grammar. Classes run daily between 08:00 and 10:30 and again from 14:00 to 18:00. We ask each volunteer to commit to the morning, afternoon or both sessions.
The Helen Bonner Health Centre welcomes qualified nurses who are interested in gaining experience in a third-world country. We accept Volunteers in this area for a period of 1 week to 1 month. However longer-term volunteer applications will be considered.
The Community Development Program provides an opportunity for those who wish to assist our Social Workers. Working with families in crisis situations is both challenging and rewarding. It involves problem solving, assisting our Khmer Social Workers with their family reports, and visits to the community. Volunteers for the Community Development Program must have computer skills so that they can assist our staff in preparing and vetting family reports.

This is an open letter to Keith Hamon. Since it is open anyone is welcome to respond, but the thoughts here have been prompted by contact with Keith.
Hi Keith – I have been thinking about your invitation to discuss some of the ideas around rhizomatic learning with you further.
the shelf-life of knowledge is ever diminishing; there is an increased urgency to be ever critical and questioning of what we know.
These ideas have been around for a few years now.
I’m not even sure that the rhizome metaphor is that new. You yourself have been writing about it since 2009 or before (?) and then of course ‘A Thousand Plateaus’ has been around for much longer.
I have been enjoying your posts and those of Cath Ellis. Cath’s posts in which she is presenting models for rhizomatic learning make sense. She has presented two models.
Learning environments which are designed to take a rhizomatic approach are multi-path – for me the tube map has its limitations, but does make me think of multi-path possibilities. In our work on emergent learning, we have identified multipath as one of the factors needed to promote emergence.
Learners in these multipath environments are nomadic.
‘Nomadism is a way of being. It involves refusing to be tied down by set categories and definitions. It is driven by a desire to experiment and explore, to learn, grow, and boldly venture forth on creative lines of flight’.
Not only does this relate to learner agency (one of the clusters of factors we have in our work on emergent learning) but also to learner identity. Learning, meaning, identity and community are ‘deeply interconnected and mutually defining’ (Wenger 1998, p.5).
In our work on emergent learning we have also discussed how ambiguity and liminality might affect possibilities for emergent learning. For us we have always considered that an ‘all or nothing’ approach is not the learner experience. As you have said certainty is important, just as important as uncertainty. In all the factors we have considered that might influence emergent learning, we think of them as being on a continuum between prescriptive and emergent learning, but it is – as you have described it – a complex dance. We have however, through the workshops we have run where we have asked people to draw their own footprints of emergence, realised that the scale is not from negative to positive. Both prescriptive and emergent learning can be positive, just as they can both be negative depending on the context.
I think this idea of ‘push and pull’ has come out in your writing. I particularly like what you have written about creating space. That really resonated with me. In our emergent learning work we have struggled with the notion of ‘open/structure’ – the idea that we need to consider both structure and the spaces between the structure. What are those spaces and how do we recognise them? Structure seems easier to recognise?
I’m not sure that I would know how to distinguish a ‘rhizomatic learner’ from other learners. As you have suggested, we all ‘dance’ (love that!) between certainty/uncertainty, open/closed, and so on. You have written that ‘the space holds all the possibilities’, which has made me wonder what possibilities the structure holds. Just a thought – I’m in thinking aloud mode!
I don’t know what to think of this. My past experience has suggested that there are always boundaries that we come up against. Etienne Wenger writes a lot about boundaries and that has influenced my thinking. His thinking is that boundaries are valuable – its where the best learning can take place (he often includes this when talking about ‘landscapes of practice’). In our emergent learning framework we have zones, rather than boundaries, but it is possible to fall off the edge of chaos in our framework. And in your wonderful blog post about spaces on a football field you point out that there is a boundary. Do we need boundaries for structure? Is that what we mean by structure? I think that up until now in our emergent learning research we have been thinking of structure in terms of scaffolding or support.
Final question: If a rhizome is ‘always in the middle’ – how does that equate to there being no centre? I think this question relates to the important points that Frances Bell has been making about power. I haven’t yet read what D & G have to say about power in a rhizomatic learning environment. Where does it fit? How does it fit? Does it fit?
So, with respect to rhizomatic learning, I feel comfortable with the notion of nomadic learners in multi-path environments. I’m less clear about the topography of this environment and the relationship between the horizontal and vertical at various levels of understanding, such as the structure of the learning landscape and the power relations within it.
I would welcome your thoughts on some of these questions.

Jenny, this is a stunningly fine post, and I’m honored to be included. I thought I would reply in a comment yesterday, but my mind is racing, and I want to give your ideas as much careful consideration as you have here. I’ll try to have a post in response by Sunday, but let me point out that your post exemplifies what cMOOCs do best: push us into those rich boundaries between what we know and don’t know. Whether we call it connectivism, rhizomatic learning, or emergent learning, it’s my favorite place to be: a zone of engagement and performance, where I always learn so much. Thanks for opportunity to map some new territory.
> those rich boundaries between what we know and don’t know…….. it’s my favorite place to be: a zone of engagement and performance, where I always learn so much.
Hi Jenny. I much appreciate this synthetic piece. I don’t know how you connect rhizomes and chaos theory as I have not as yet taken the time to map it through. However, I instinctively feel that line drawings of rhizomes and 2d images of networks are an obstacle. We need to deanchor our concentration on ourselves and connections. We are also limited by not taking into account wider ecological factors on behaviour.
This article is a starting point for further reflection. Would welcome feedback.
Hi Simon – many thanks for your comment. I have not connected rhizomes with chaos theory but we (Roy Williams, Simone Gumtau and I) have reference complexity theory in our work on emergent learning.
Apologies for the wiki. We know it needs tidying up. This has been on my list for weeks!
Morrison, K., 2008. Educational Philosophy and the Challenge of Complexity Theory. Educational Philosophy and Theory, 40(1).
Let me know if you struggle to find it and I can send you a copy by email if you are interested.
Not sure if I have given you the feedback you were looking for. Were you wanting me to comment on the paper?
Hi Simon – another response. Since my last one Matthias Melcher has posted an amazing gif on our wiki – http://footprints-of-emergence.wikispaces.com/Emergent+Learning – which depicts our view of the 3D landscape we try and describe in 2D in our Footprints of Emergence paper.
Thanks for all the thought provoking.
Thanks Jenny. More reading to do!! Very stimulating – thanks!
Hmm what a thoughtful post. I stopped for a while to ponder the “having no center” but “always in the middle” and as a metaphor, to me, the “middle” here does not mean exactly in the center, but meaning not at any extreme edge, somehow connected to all/many others. This is my understanding of it visually as a rhizome. No one spot is clearly the center of it, and every spot on it seems to be somewhere in between the others rather than at an edge or beginning or end. Also, the idea of no beginning or end, to me, comes from the fact that if you take a part of it away, it grows, and the rest continues to grow.
Now I have engaged with this all much less than most ppl here, and i tried reading D&G but it got over my head mostly(need to focus more) BUT i do think one can work with the metaphor using one’s own experience. I agree lots of the ideas are not “new” but i find the metaphor sums them up nicely in one word: rhizome.
I think the “no center” is like in this course if Dave was not there. But even though Dave is there and theoretically central (someone showed him as most mentioned on tweets for example) it is not really that clear. Many of us are in the middle and connected to each other. No one person or idea is central.
I also thought the fact some of us are taking other MOOCs together like futureed and discussing them on rhizo14 was an exampe of connections flowing outside what was the original rhizome. Whatever that means.
Thanks for such a thoughtful and thought-provoking post – and for the Comments that followed. For me the issue with Boundaries is dependent on location: political boundaries of exclusion – bad; magical, mystical boundaries for crossing over – intriguing. Not so much a boundary as an event horizon?
Maha and Sandra – thanks to you both for your comments.
Maha – I find the idea of centre/no centre a bit of a problem in relation to the rhizome metaphor. I am still trying to think this through, but it seems to me that in any ‘course’ there will necessarily be a centre – even if it is designed on network principles and is very distributed, as for example, CCK08 was. This centre can be more or less evident, more or less important, according to the course philosophy and whether that philosophy can be adhered to. I think I still need to be convinced that ‘No one idea or person is central’. Still thinking!
Perhaps we could combine (and mix) metaphors a bit, and think about learning (and language) as de-centred-with-nodes.
… because the meaning of a sign comes from its use (Barthes’ “every use becomes a sign of itself” – from hand-axes to mathematical notations) within a community of users – and the community is dynamic, it’s an emerging ecology which has no permanent centre, if a centre at all. (No ‘ultimate signifier’, in the language of deconstruction, all we have is difference / différance).
Similarly with the use of material artefacts, where repeated use similarly creates ‘residues’ – innovative materials and social forms (hand-axes, mobile phones, tribes, families) that become part of the physical and social furniture.
… i) some ideas become knowledge: e.g. Seymour Papert’s ‘powerful ideas’ or Meyer and Land’s ‘threshold concepts’. ii) some practices become established, routinised, some into ‘memes’ (social practices), some of which get further rendered into ‘temes’ (technical practices – see Susan Blackmore’s “genes, memes and temes” on Youtube).
And some of the knowledge and practice becomes more formalised, and even more abstract and decentered in the concepts, algorithms and technologies of science, which builds capital – intellectual capital, manufacturing capital, networking capital, etc, which can be used by anyone, anywhere, anytime.
But, you might say, this still looks beguilingly like a ‘centred’ approach – building up intellectual capital through a series of cumulative nodes (Newton’s famous saying that he was not that innovative, he was merely ‘standing on the shoulders of giants’). But this too is dynamic: Newtonian physics gets displaced by relativity, gets displaced by quantum mechanics, all of which might one day get displaced by a Unified Field Theory, etc, etc.
…is about as far as I can go (wearing my semotics / deconstructivist / post-modernist hats). I am not sure a rhizome on its own captures enough of it for me – Bateson’s ecology of Mind works better at an abstract level, and Kevin Beiler’s images of the Douglas Fir/ Micorrhizal Fungi ecology (http://footprints-of-emergence.wikispaces.com/Forrest+footprints) works better, for me, at a material level – as you know, Jenny – you have cited this elsewhere in these discussions.
Thanks Jenny for opening your letter to Keith for us.
I would love for you to add your thoughts in response.
Hi Ryan – great to meet you 🙂 I have quickly read your blog post – it’s so good to read someone else’s perspective. I’m not a quick responder I’m afraid – need time to think! But I will think and respond on your blog. I have also tweeted your post to Frances Bell and Mariana Funes, who I am collaborating with to research the experience of Rhizo14. In fact I must now get back to the lit review that I am steeped in at the moment!

The World Snooker Championship is finally here with qualifying take place between April 10 to 17 before the main draw gets underway on April 20.
Only the top 16 seeds have earned an automatic place in the final stages at The Crucible.
The likes of Ronnie O’Sullivan, Mark Selby, Mark Williams and Neil Robertson are all in the main draw meaning they have an extra week to rest and prepare.
But for the rest they face a gruelling three best-of-19 frame matches to secure a coveted spot in the sport’s biggest tournament.

It was a long time ago when Passon still young apprehended the technique of coating practicing with tempera on cardboard that, for their quick realisation, everyone admired. Soon Passon turned to oil on canvas experimenting the endless possibilities of colour and the brightness that is characteristic.
Nowadays Passon makes his drawings ( mainly portraits, still life, foreshortened views of Venice, and various compositions) on ready made plates, with the bottom of coloured chalk based on the different pigments that will be then used. The subsequent texture is then smoothed to obtain an even surface without any unevenness so that the pencil can best trace the signs that will give way to every composition. In various portraits Passon uses mixed techniques with gold foil to personally elaborate the background that sometimes from narrative it becomes decorative to underline the psychological and introspective research of the person portrayed.
Observing the actual paintings of Passon you can notice that the texture of the colour considers every need of the subject; the smooth and velvety strokes accent the game of transparencies while the thick and bold ones or those with some roughness result decisive in simulating particular aspects of every single painting as happens with the plastering of some old Venetian palace. The passing of time will give every single painting a special feeling that will exalt the nuances of colour and in the same time will even out every composition.
The works of Licio Passon face Time, in the incomparable splendour of their colours, where he combines a happy mixture of resemblances and shapes, memories and emotions, destined to never end.

This story was a $1,000 winner in our “America’s Best Tails” contest, with the proceeds benefitting DFW Rescue Me.
My sister was allergic to dogs, so I grew up in a household of rabbits and goldfish. My wife suggested a dog to complete the household shortly after we married. I was ambivalent but agreed to look at dog adoption. Miriam saw Kirby’s profile on Petfinder. He was a curious fox-like dog identified, probably incorrectly, as a “Cavalier King Charles Spaniel and Corgi mix.” His profile said he enjoyed going on walks, snacking on treats, and snuggling – all characteristics which would fit well in our home.
We were unfamiliar with EARS but went to visit Kirby at an adoption event. There, Kirby looked sad and depressed in his crate. But when Kirby and I met for the first time, I knew we would be friends for life. We spent a few minutes walking Kirby around and then put him back in his crate. While we casually looked around at other dogs and talked to volunteers, Kirby was openly staring at us, wondering why we were even looking at anyone else!
The EARS volunteers told us that Kirby was about three and had been heartworm positive. After we left the event (with Kirby still staring at us, wondering why we were leaving him), we submitted the application. We adopted Kirby in November 2007.
Kirby moved in, and it was a perfect match. We were inseparable, going on several walks every day. Whenever I came home from work, he would audibly grunt with excitement. He loved going anywhere in the car and made fast friends with all of the dogs and humans he met. During that time, however, it became clear that Kirby was more of a senior dog. He limped a little, had trouble jumping on furniture, and was easily tired on our walks.
In September 2009, while Kirby and I were out on a short walk, he experienced shortness of breath, and continued to pant very heavily after we returned home. It worsened that night, and we took him to the emergency clinic. He was diagnosed with congestive heart failure. He passed away a few days later, in the car (one of his favorite places) and in my arms as Miriam drove to the emergency clinic.
Losing Kirby was one of the hardest things I have ever experienced. Although he was an older boy when we adopted him, I know his time with us was the best of his life, and he experienced love like he’d never experienced before.
After Kirby passed, we contacted EARS about adopting another rescue dog. The EARS volunteers were put on the lookout for a Corgi or similar dog. A few weeks later, a volunteer found Dudley (a purebred Welsh Corgi) in the Garland shelter. We took Dudley into our home, and he has been our best friend ever since. We’ve also gotten extensively involved with EARS since 2009. Although we miss Kirby every day, we know that his passing helped bring us to Dudley, and also get us involved more with EARS.

Let's interrupt the gloomfest over whether Canadians are putting enough money away for retirement to look at some new guidance on how to save.
It's called the Retirement Rule of 20 and it says a financially secure retirement can be had if you have $20 in savings for every $1 in annual income you require after you leave the work force.
The Rule of 20 doesn't really address the concerns among federal and provincial politicians that too many Canadians are saving insufficiently for retirement and face a big drop in their standard of living. But it can help people better understand the gap between how much they've saved for retirement and how much they need.
While governments confer about on how best to deal with the retirement issue, remember an old adage. If you want something done right, do it yourself.
The Rule of 20 was developed by the Canadian office of the global financial firm Russell Investments. It's an alternative to existing retirement savings formulas, such as the replacement ratio, which targets a percentage of your working income. A general rule in financial planning is to use a replacement ratio of 70 per cent, but some experts says as little as 50 per cent will suffice.
Russell began with the idea that there are three components of retirement saving, one for day-to-day living costs, one for discretionary costs like travel and another for your estate, or money you hope to leave behind. The Rule of 20 is designed to cover just your essential costs, leaving you to work out how much extra you want to save for things like trips and inheritances.
The point of the rule is to show how much you need to save to achieve $1 in retirement income before taxes. "Based on reasonable economic assumptions, our view is that the number is $20," said Irshaad Ahmad, Russell Canada's president.
Good news - you don't actually have to save $20 yourself for every dollar you'll live on later. Mr. Ahmad said most people can count on funds from the Canada Pension Plan (CPP) and Old Age Security (OAS), as well as a company pension plan if they're lucky enough to be among the 25 per cent of people in the private sector who have a such benefit.
But let's say you don't have a company pension, and you've decided you and your spouse can live on $50,000 in income in retirement. Mr. Ahmad said $25,000 will come from the CPP and OAS, which leaves you to make up the additional $25,000 a year. Using the Rule of 20, you'll need to have a combined $500,000 in registered savings on the day you retire.
Does $500,000 sound low? "By my perspective that's actually quite a lot of money, assuming you've paid off your mortgage and your kids are out of the house," Mr. Ahmad said. His data show that the average age at which your mortgage is paid off is 55, while the average retirement age is 62.
The analysis behind the Rule of 20 suggests that retirement savings should last 33 years. If you save at a 25:1 ratio (or save $25 for every dollar of income you need), you should be able to draw on your savings for 45 years. Inflation has been estimated at 3 per cent, and returns have been pegged at 5.95 per cent a year after fees.
The return estimate is based on conservative mix of 65 per cent bonds and 35 per cent stocks that is designed to withstand years like 2008. However, the annual projected returns of 9 per cent for stocks and 6 per cent for bonds do seem high in today's world.
Mr. Ahmad sees the Rule of 20 as a common-sense way of helping people get past the financial sector's sales hype about the need to save millions and contribute the maximum to registered retirement savings plans every year.
"A whole industry has worked on trying to tell people that if they haven't started saving from the time they're conceived, they're going to be eating cat food," he said.
In fact, polling commissioned by Russell has found that fears of not having enough money to last through retirement actually ease once people leave the work force. Ten years away from retirement, 60 per cent of respondents said they were worried they would run out of money; five years into retirement, the corresponding number was 20 per cent.
When you're at least 10 years away from your retirement, Mr. Ahmad suggests you evaluate where you stand with the various retirement building blocks - CPP, OAS, company pension and your own RRSPs - and then see how much retirement income you'll end up with.
"When you draw that picture, it will do one or two things," he said. "It will either make you feel better, or it will scare the crap out of you. But it will give you the answer, and you can then develop an action plan around it."
Russell Investments Canada has created a new rule that helps you decide how much you need to save for retirement. For every $1 of annual income you need to live on, you should have $20 saved when you retire. Here are some examples of how the rule works.

Hallucinations (seeing or hearing things that are not there).
Trouble breathing, slow breathing, or shallow breathing.
A very bad and sometimes deadly health problem called serotonin syndrome may happen if you take acetaminophen, caffeine, and dihydrocodeine with drugs for depression, migraines, or certain other drugs. Call your doctor right away if you have agitation; change in balance; confusion; hallucinations; fever; fast or abnormal heartbeat; flushing; muscle twitching or stiffness; seizures; shivering or shaking; sweating a lot; very bad diarrhea, upset stomach, or throwing up; or very bad headache.
• CNS depression: May cause CNS depression, which may impair physical or mental abilities; patients must be cautioned about performing tasks which require mental alertness (eg, operating machinery or driving).
• Constipation: Opioids may cause constipation, which may be problematic in patients with unstable angina and patients post-myocardial infarction (MI). Consider preventive measures (eg, stool softener, increased fiber) to reduce the potential for constipation.
• Hepatotoxicity: [US Boxed Warning]: Acetaminophen has been associated with cases of acute liver failure, at times resulting in liver transplant and death. Most of the cases of liver injury are associated with the use of acetaminophen at doses that exceed the maximum daily limit (4 g/day), and often involve more than 1 acetaminophen-containing product. Risk is increased with alcohol use, preexisting liver disease, and intake of more than one source of acetaminophen-containing medications. Chronic daily dosing in adults has also resulted in liver damage in some patients.
• Hypersensitivity/anaphylactic reactions: Hypersensitivity and anaphylactic reactions have been reported with acetaminophen use; discontinue immediately if symptoms of allergic or hypersensitivity reactions occur.
• Hypotension: May cause severe hypotension (including orthostatic hypotension and syncope); use with caution in patients with hypovolemia, cardiovascular disease (including acute MI), or drugs that may exaggerate hypotensive effects (including phenothiazines or general anesthetics). Monitor for symptoms of hypotension following initiation or dose titration. Use with caution in patients with circulatory shock.
• Phenanthrene hypersensitivity: Use opioids with caution in patients with hypersensitivity reactions to other phenanthrene-derivative opioid agonists (codeine, hydrocodone, hydromorphone, levorphanol, oxymorphone).
• Respiratory depression: [US Boxed Warning]: Serious, life-threatening, or fatal respiratory depression may occur with use. Monitor for respiratory depression, especially during initiation of therapy or following a dose increase. Carbon dioxide retention from opioid-induced respiratory depression can exacerbate the sedating effects of opioids.
• Skin reactions: Serious and potentially fatal skin reactions, including acute generalized exanthematous pustulosis (AGEP), Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS), and toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN) have occurred rarely with acetaminophen use. Discontinue therapy at the first appearance of skin rash (or any other sign of hypersensitivity).
• Abdominal conditions: May obscure diagnosis or clinical course of patients with acute abdominal conditions.
• Adrenocortical insufficiency: Use with caution in patients with adrenocortical insufficiency, including Addison disease. Long-term opioid use may cause secondary hypogonadism, which may lead to sexual dysfunction, infertility, mood disorders, and osteoporosis (Brennan 2013).
• Biliary tract impairment: Use with caution in patients with biliary tract dysfunction, including acute pancreatitis; opioids may cause constriction of sphincter of Oddi.
• CNS depression/coma: Use with caution in patients with CNS depression or coma as these patients are susceptible to intracranial effects of CO2 retention.
• Ethanol use: Use with caution in patients with alcoholic liver disease; consuming ≥3 alcoholic drinks/day may increase the risk of liver damage.
• G6PD deficiency: Use acetaminophen with caution in patients with known G6PD deficiency.
• Head trauma: Use with extreme caution in patients with head injury, intracranial lesions, or elevated intracranial pressure; exaggerated elevation of ICP may occur.
• Mental health conditions: Use opioids with caution for chronic pain in patients with mental health conditions (eg, depression, anxiety disorders, post-traumatic stress disorder) due to increased risk for opioid use disorder and overdose; more frequent monitoring is recommended (Dowell [CDC 2016]).
• Obesity: Use with caution in patients who are morbidly obese.
• Prostatic hyperplasia/urinary stricture: Use with caution in patients with prostatic hyperplasia and/or urinary stricture.
• Psychosis: Use with caution in patients with toxic psychosis.
• Renal impairment: Use with caution and at a reduced dose in patients with renal impairment.
• Respiratory disease: Use with caution and monitor for respiratory depression in patients with significant chronic obstructive pulmonary disease or cor pulmonale and those having a substantially decreased respiratory reserve, hypoxia, hypercarbia, or preexisting respiratory depression, particularly when initiating therapy and titrating therapy; critical respiratory depression may occur, even at therapeutic dosages. Consider the use of alternative nonopioid analgesics in these patients.
• Seizure disorder: Use with caution in patients with a history of seizure disorder; may cause or exacerbate preexisting seizures.
• Sleep-disordered breathing: Use opioids with caution for chronic pain and titrate dosage cautiously in patients with risk factors for sleep-disordered breathing, including HF and obesity. Avoid opioids in patients with moderate to severe sleep-disordered breathing (Dowell [CDC 2016]).
• Thyroid dysfunction: Use with caution in patients with thyroid dysfunction.
• Benzodiazepines and other CNS depressants: [US Boxed Warning]: Concomitant use of opioids with benzodiazepines or other CNS depressants, including alcohol, may result in profound sedation, respiratory depression, coma, and death. Reserve concomitant prescribing of acetaminophen/caffeine/dihydrocodeine and benzodiazepines or other CNS depressants for use in patients for whom alternative treatment options are inadequate. Limit dosages and durations to the minimum required. Follow patients for signs and symptoms of respiratory depression and sedation.
• Cytochrome P450 3A4 interactions: [US Boxed Warning]: The concomitant use with all CYP3A4 inhibitors or discontinuation of a CYP3A4 inducer may result in an increase in codeine plasma concentrations with subsequently greater metabolism by CYP2D6, resulting in greater morphine levels, which could increase or prolong adverse reactions and may cause potentially fatal respiratory depression. The concomitant use of acetaminophen/caffeine/dihydrocodeine with all CYP3A4 inducers or discontinuation of a CYP3A4 inhibitor may result in lower codeine levels, greater norcodeine levels, and less metabolism via 2D6 with resultant lower morphine levels. This may be associated with a decrease in efficacy, and in some patients, may result in signs and symptoms of opioid withdrawal. Follow patients receiving acetaminophen/caffeine/dihydrocodeine and any CYP3A4 inhibitor or inducer for signs and symptoms that may reflect opioid toxicity and opioid withdrawal when acetaminophen/caffeine/dihydrocodeine are used in conjunction with inhibitors and inducers of CYP3A4.
• Cytochrome P450 2D6 interaction: [US Boxed Warning]: The concomitant use of acetaminophen/caffeine/dihydrocodeine with all CYP2D6 inhibitors may result in an increase in codeine plasma concentrations and a decrease in the plasma concentration of the active metabolite, morphine, which could result in an analgesic efficacy reduction or symptoms of opioid withdrawal. The discontinuation of a CYP2D6 inhibitor may result in a decrease in codeine plasma concentrations and an increase in the plasma concentration of the active metabolite, morphine, which could increase or prolong adverse reactions and may cause potentially fatal respiratory depression. Follow patients receiving acetaminophen/caffeine/dihydrocodeine and any CYP2D6 inhibitor for signs and symptoms that may reflect opioid toxicity and opioid withdrawal when acetaminophen/caffeine/dihydrocodeine are used in conjunction with inhibitors of CYP2D6.
• CYP2D6 “ultra-rapid metabolizers”: Use caution in patients with two or more copies of the variant CYP2D6*2 allele; may have extensive conversion to morphine and thus increased opioid-mediated effects. Avoid the use of codeine in these patients; consider alternative analgesics such as morphine or a nonopioid agent (Crews 2012). The occurrence of this phenotype is seen in 0.5% to 1% of Chinese and Japanese patients, 0.5% to 1% of Hispanic patients, 1% to 10% of Caucasian patients, 3% of African-American patients, and 16% to 28% of North African, Ethiopian, and Arab patients.
• Cachectic or debilitated patients: Use with caution in cachectic or debilitated patients; there is a greater potential for critical respiratory depression, even at therapeutic dosages. Consider the use of alternative nonopioid analgesics in these patients.
• Elderly: Use with caution in the elderly; may be more sensitive to adverse effects, such as respiratory depression. Use opioids for chronic pain with caution in this age group; monitor closely due to an increased potential for risks, including certain risks such as falls/fracture, cognitive impairment, and constipation. Clearance may also be reduced in older adults (with or without renal impairment) resulting in a narrow therapeutic window and increasing the risk for respiratory depression or overdose (Dowell [CDC 2016]). Consider the use of alternative nonopioid analgesics in these patients.
• Neonates: Neonatal withdrawal syndrome: [US Boxed Warning]: Prolonged use during pregnancy can cause neonatal withdrawal syndrome, which may be life-threatening if not recognized and treated according to protocols developed by neonatology experts. If opioid use is required for a prolonged period in a pregnant woman, advise the patient of the risk of neonatal opioid withdrawal syndrome and ensure that appropriate treatment will be available. Prolonged use of opioids during pregnancy can cause neonatal withdrawal syndrome, which may be life-threatening if not recognized and treated according to protocols developed by neonatology experts. If opioid use is required for a prolonged period in a pregnant woman, advise the patient of the risk of neonatal opioid withdrawal syndrome and ensure that appropriate treatment will be available. Signs and symptoms include irritability, hyperactivity and abnormal sleep pattern, high-pitched cry, tremor, vomiting, diarrhea, and failure to gain weight. Onset, duration, and severity depend on the drug used, duration of use, maternal dose, and rate of drug elimination by the newborn.
• Pediatric: [US Boxed Warning]: Respiratory depression and death have occurred in children who received codeine following tonsillectomy and/or adenoidectomy and had evidence of being ultra-rapid metabolizers of codeine due to a CYP2D6 polymorphism; children with obstructive sleep apnea may be at increased risk. Deaths have also occurred in nursing infants after being exposed to high concentrations of morphine because the mothers were ultra-rapid metabolizers. Use is contraindicated in the postoperative pain management of children who have undergone tonsillectomy and/or adenoidectomy.
• Surgery: Opioids decrease bowel motility; monitor for decrease bowel motility in postop patients receiving opioids. Use with caution in the perioperative setting; individualize treatment when transitioning from parenteral to oral analgesics.
• Abuse/misuse/diversion: [US Boxed Warning]: Use exposes patients and other users to the risks of opioid addiction, abuse, and misuse, which can lead to overdose and death. Assess each patient’s risk prior to prescribing acetaminophen/caffeine/dihydrocodeine, and monitor all patients regularly for the development of these behaviors or conditions. Use with caution in patients with a history of drug abuse or acute alcoholism; potential for drug dependency exists. Other factors associated with increased risk for misuse include younger age, concomitant depression (major), and psychotropic medication use. Consider offering naloxone prescriptions in patients with factors associated with an increased risk for overdose, such as history of overdose or substance use disorder, higher opioid dosages (≥50 morphine milligram equivalents/day orally), and concomitant benzodiazepine use (Dowell [CDC 2016]).
• Accidental ingestion: [US Boxed Warning]: Accidental ingestion of even one dose of acetaminophen/caffeine/dihydrocodeine, especially in children, can result in a fatal overdose of dihydrocodeine.
• Appropriate use: Chronic pain (outside of end-of-life or palliative care, active cancer treatment, sickle cell disease, or medication-assisted treatment for opioid use disorder) in outpatient setting in adults: Opioids should not be used as first-line therapy for chronic pain management (pain >3-month duration or beyond time of normal tissue healing) due to limited short-term benefits, undetermined long-term benefits, and association with serious risks (eg, overdose, MI, auto accidents, risk of developing opioid use disorder). Preferred management includes nonpharmacologic therapy and nonopioid therapy (eg, NSAIDs, acetaminophen, certain anticonvulsants and antidepressants). If opioid therapy is initiated, it should be combined with nonpharmacologic and nonopioid therapy, as appropriate. Prior to initiation, known risks of opioid therapy should be discussed and realistic treatment goals for pain/function should be established, including consideration for discontinuation if benefits do not outweigh risks. Therapy should be continued only if clinically meaningful improvement in pain/function outweighs risks. Therapy should be initiated at the lowest effective dosage using immediate-release opioids (instead of extended-release/long-acting opioids). Risk associated with use increases with higher opioid dosages. Risks and benefits should be re-evaluated when increasing dosage to ≥50 morphine milligram equivalents (MME)/day orally; dosages ≥90 MME/day orally should be avoided unless carefully justified (Dowell [CDC 2016]).
• Caffeine: May cause CNS and cardiovascular stimulation, as well as GI irritation in high doses.
• Dosage limit: Limit acetaminophen dose from all sources (prescription and OTC) to <4 g/day in adults. Do not use acetaminophen/caffeine/dihydrocodeine concomitantly with other acetaminophen-containing products.
• Optimal regimen: An opioid-containing analgesic regimen should be tailored to each patient's needs and based on the type of pain being treated (acute versus chronic), the route of administration, degree of tolerance for opioids (naive versus chronic user), age, weight, and medical condition. The optimal analgesic dose varies widely among patients; doses should be titrated to pain relief/prevention.
• Withdrawal: Concurrent use of mixed agonist/antagonist analgesics (eg, pentazocine, nalbuphine, butorphanol) or partial agonist analgesics (eg, buprenorphine) may precipitate withdrawal symptoms and/or reduced analgesic efficacy in patients following prolonged therapy with mu opioid agonists. Abrupt discontinuation following prolonged use may also lead to withdrawal symptoms; taper dose gradually when discontinuing.
Alternate recommendations: Chronic pain (long-term therapy outside of end-of-life or palliative care, active cancer treatment, sickle cell disease, or medication-assisted treatment for opioid use disorder): Evaluate benefits/risks of opioid therapy within 1 to 4 weeks of treatment initiation and with dose increases. Reevaluate benefits/risks every 3 months during therapy or more frequently in patients at increased risk of overdose or opioid use disorder. Urine drug testing is recommended prior to initiation and re-checking should be considered at least yearly (includes controlled prescription medications and illicit drugs of abuse). State prescription drug monitoring program (PDMP) data should be reviewed by clinicians prior to initiation and periodically during therapy (frequency ranging from every prescription to every 3 months).

Just Read: THE APOCALYPSE WATCH by Robert Ludlum--A bit goofy at points. Still fun action, but I prefer his more serious books.
Just Read: THE HAMMER OF GOD by Arthur C. Clarke--An interesting take on one possible future. It was kind of all over the place at first, but once I got used to it, it was easy to follow. Pretty cool book.
Editing an 18,600-word story this afternoon after writing a flash piece this morning. It's a day of opposites, I guess.
Trying to cut this monster down to 17,000 words for a specific submission. Might have a bit of a hard time doing it, since the people who read it and gave me feedback wanted more--more description, more tension, etc. Goes against the rule Final Draft = First Draft - 10%. Oh well.
The story's about a wandering warrior on a quest. When I started, that was pretty much all I had. This idea blossomed that I would write a series of novellas and compile them all into a novel, kind of like "THE GUNSLINGER" by Stephen King. (You should read that, and the rest of the series, if you haven't already.) I had put it on the back-burner, but then the other day I was running and had mad ideas for the next few novellas, so here I am getting back down to business.
Every now and then, your subconscious gives you a little kick in the rear end. I appreciate it for that. Helps me get a lot more done.
My favorite Stephen King book is actually his nonfiction piece "On Writing." It was the first of his I ever read--I might have been fourteen, but I knew I was a writer--and it's been a road map for me throughout my early career.
In it, he describes the phenomenon of receiving rejections as part of a writer's course, and often they come in progressive, sequential steps: First, a form rejection. A certain amount of time goes by, and you get better, and the rejections change form. They become "good but not great" comments, occasionally suggesting that you try them again in the future. Next, you get "this is good, but not for us" letters. And finally, after poking your head into some smaller magazines (and continuing to get better), you might get some professional acceptances.
Well, looking back on my career and this year so far, I can see the steps. I did a project in high school that involved collecting my rejection letters and writing journal entries on them, and man were those stories bad! Well, not BAD, but they read like a fourteen-year-old wrote them and submitted them to Fantasy and Science Fiction. It makes me laugh now a bit, with pride, perhaps a bit like a father thinking back to his toddler trying to field a ground ball ten, fifteen years ago.
Those were the form rejections. Then I got better and submitted to smaller venues, and got some "good but not great" rejections. This was the norm for years, and maybe the W1S1 challenge has me getting better at short stories faster. I got a few acceptances (14 to be exact) at some small venues, but I kept submitting to the pros, and I can clearly see a step up in the rejections.
I've gotten "this is good but not for us" rejection letters from Leading Edge (about the story from my last blog post, which also receiving a personal note from F&SF), Penumbra Magazine (twice), Allegory, and Flash Fiction Online.
Next step in the sequence is acceptance!
PS--I had to blog about this to put the positive spin on getting two crushing rejections this week. It's been a disappointing two weeks! All part of the journey, right? Years from now, I'll look back like a dad remembering his clumsy toddler, and I'll laugh.

UNDER CONSTRUCTION. DOCUMENT MAY CONTAIN OUTDATED CONTENT AND IS SUBJECT TO CHANGE.
Some early concept art for House Telvanni by Michael Kirkbride. It visualizes some of the more alien concepts we hope to re-inroduce into our portrayal of House Telvanni.
House Telvanni's particular Tribunal is Sotha Sil.
If any house is individualist, it is House Telvanni. As the later sections demonstrate, the house is built around individual wizards and their host of mages, coexisting with other magelords in a very uneasy peace mediated through the Parliament of Bugs. House Telvanni is not of one mind on anything, it is a battle of all against all.
House Telvanni value power, knowledge, and especially the application of one in the pursuit of the other. Understanding this reclusive and mysterious house goes beyond generalizing their character and pigeon-holing them into your typical "fantasy mage" tropes. While it is true that they have attained a certain mastery when it comes to the arcane arts, their character primarily revolves around their fiercely independent and competitive nature. They are cynics in the utmost, having achieved a state of lucidity through isolation and their pursuit of power and knowledge. They have mostly shunned the rest of Morrowind, preferring to live in their isolated sadriths where they can tinker in relative peace. They have absolutely no loyalty to any force or power but their own.
House Telvanni are, in Vivec's words, iconoclastic, profane, and unconventional. They area house of which embraces a certain conception of liberty as a value – one in which only those who are willing to completely embrace that libertarianism can rise to the top. High ranking Telvanni therefore have strong views which are divergent from one another and definitely from the mainstream of Morrowind society.
House Telvanni is mostly structureless. Once a person is kin to the House, they advance through the service of a particular great Wizard. Individuals of the rank of Wizard or above achieve their rank through the exertion of power and authority, and not through any official recognition. The House does not do anything, it has no center of gravity.
Some of the Wizards, who style themselves the Master Wizards, are recognized as being above other Wizards in rank and power. These Wizards have created mouths, copies of their minds in other peoples' bodies, who sit in the Parliament of Bugs to represent them in any conflict. Other Wizards send temporary, fully conscious representatives to the Parliament. One Wizard may declare himself the Magister, claiming the right to rule all of House Telvanni. He is usually only successful if he takes a hands off approach. If his rule is accepted by the Parliament of Bugs, he is declared the Archmagister.
It takes a certain boldness to claim the title of Wizard, and an even greater boldness to claim to be a Master Wizard. If other Wizards are threatened or offended by an assertion of authority, they may attack the claimant. On the other hand, if a Wizard or Master Wizard shows signs of weakness or failing, other members of the House may see an opportunity to advance themselve at that Wizard's expense. Telvanni politics are cutthroat and chaotic. It takes an even greater boldness to declare onesself the Magister.
A Wizard's sadrith tower is the core structure of House Telvanni. It contains the Wizard themselves, as well as their chief advisor, the Sycophant. Other close personal advisors and assistants of the Wizard are called Spellwrights. The bulk of the remaining magical servants are called Casters, who have established them within the tower, while new House members they sponsor are just known as Craftsmen. Also present at a tower, of course, are commoners not affiliated with the House Telvanni, Kinsmen, who are members not pledged to any particular mage-lord, and slaves.
Mostly absent from the Battle of Red Mountain was a faction of abstainers who did not join the Second Council but also did not take up arms against this. These were mainly magicians who had worked with the Dwemer to some degree. For the most part they did not know about the Dwemer's discovery of the Heart of Lorkhan. Among them were Fyr, and Dral, who were both alive at the time. House Telvanni is ultimately descended from this group, and therefore does not claim to be the legitimate heir of the Second Council, but rather is a separate scion of the First Council, which objected to the war with the Dwemer.
After the proclamation of the Tribunal, many of these abstainers were dubious of the new order and of the divinity of the Almsivi. Though they were unfaithful, they did not polemicize against the Temple, and after retreating to the far reaches of Morrowind, where they grew what would become Port Telvannis, they were allowed to live in peace. They adapted the sadrith plants of these isles for their homestead and became known as the Telvanni, the people of the towers. Their homestead took its name from this practice as well.
Over time, they spread out from Port Telvannis to other parts of northeast Morrowind, which was mostly undeveloped except by the Ashlanders. The Temple made no effort to stop them. However, after Vvardenfell became a preserve of the Temple, it would be against Temple law for them to plant on Vvardenfell proper without permission. This edict would ultimately be ignored, most flagrantly by Aryon, who also took lordship over the Velothi town of Vos.
Around the time that Dagoth Ur reappeared, Dral claimed the Magistership and was recognized as Archmagister. Dral is the second-oldest mortal in Morrowind, being of the same generation as the Tribunal (Divayth Fyr is considerably older than even Nerevar was, being born shortly before Morrowind was conquered by the Nords). Shortly after becoming Archmagister, he mysteriously disappears and is not heard from, except in the form of his Mouth, for the next 430 years. An all-out bloodbath is almost inevitable, as the ensuing power struggle to attain mastery over the House is set to reach a stunning climax.
Port Telvannis and Sadrith Mora are the only real cities of the Telvanni, and Sadrith Mora only exists to treat with the Imperials at Wolverine Hall. Port Telvannis is a sprawling web of sadrith monstrosities. Port Telvannis was the original home of the Telvanni, until they needed to get away from each other for their own protection, and began building sadrith towers elsewhere. Port Telvannis remains the hub of what little “house activity” exists, including the Parliament of Bugs, and in order to enter it, a person must be marked with void salts at Gah Sadrith by the ferrymen-warders (an unpleasant business).
Leader of House Telvanni and recognized head of the House.
A person who claims to be the head of the House.
The Parliament of Bugs, a “rank” that loosely correlates to the House Councillors of other houses, demonstrates holder of title has attained mastery in a particular art or knowledge, and is recognized by peers.
Respected wizards in their own right, masterful in their craft, and have their own tower.
The chief adviser and assistant to a Wizard or Master.
The mouths of the Telvanni Masters, that represesent them in the Parliament of Bugs. The player skips this rank.
The high-ranking stewards and assistant to a Wizard or Master.
Pledged to the service of a particular Wizard or Master.
An member of House Telvanni, without a patron Wizard.
Taken an oath to serve House Telvanni, sitll in the process of initiation.
The overall details of the Telvanni questline are unimportant for this document, and will be described in greater detail seperately. It generally begins with the player being a Hireling, before initiation into the House itself. At some point, the player chooses a patron (amongst two competing Masters) which they work with, until they approach the highest ranks of the House.

Every year, over 18 million people across the world are diagnosed with cancer. It is the second leading cause of death, bearing responsibility 1 in every 6 deaths. Which is why it’s almost unbelievable to think that we may have a workable cure within the year.
A group of Israeli scientists, from the company Accelerated Evolution Biotechnologies Ltd (or AEBi), began their work towards a cure by starting where other attempted cures failed. After learning what caused each drug to fail, they researched a way to counteract the effect; for instance, many cancer-targeting drugs promote mutations in the cancerous cells, and since the drugs can’t work fast enough, the mutated cancer cells drop the receptors targeted by the ingredients of the drug, rendering the entire treatment obsolete. In order to get past this roadblock, the scientists decided to use several different cancer targeting proteins to attack the cancerous cells. This way, the cancer can’t mutate fast enough to keep every protein from taking hold of the cell and allowing a choice toxin to kill the cancer.
Cancerous cells also have a built in detoxification process, whether it involves pumping the toxin out or changing it structurally to be ineffective. And if a cancer survives a drug once, it will become permanently resistant to it. However, using an extremely strong toxin could kill the cancer before the cell can complete the detoxifying process. But, having a potent toxin transferred into one’s body can induce some sickening side effects. In order to conquer this issue, the AEBi scientists decided to use several highly specific cancer-targeting peptides, one for each type of cancer cell. This would reduce the amount of non-cancer cells affected by the drug, without inhibiting the drug’s ability to work.
The new treatment would also be modified from person to person, since each person has different cell receptors that get expressed by cancer. After just a couple weeks on the drug the cancer should be entirely eradicated from the body.
Currently, the scientists are creating a list of patents on specific targeting peptides to use in future cases that require certain proteins. They have also concluded their first experiment on mice and the treatment resulted in the eradication of the human cancer cells and let most mice leave the test entirely healthy. The scientists have yet to publish the trial on mice, and they’ve been making big claims of scientific advancement that have yet to be concretely affirmed by any other groups. If what they have been claiming is true, then they will have made a giant leap in the fight against cancer. At this moment, however, all we can do is wait for AEBi to release more pieces of their research.

Thanks to funding from 3M Eco Grant, Eversource Energy and the Jane B. Cook 1983 Charitable Trust, we have created a series of Project OspreyTrack cross-curricular teaching resources. Many of these lesson plans have been adapted from materials created in the UK by ©J&P Murray, 2014 and World Osprey Week. These materials are free for you to download and use, BUT we ask that you register your school (or eco club or homeschool group) on the World Osprey Week website and become part of this international project. Your school will be featured on an interactive map that also plots the migrations of several featured Ospreys in the Americas and Europe.
The resources are designed so that schools and teachers can dip into the materials, ideas and lesson plans as much as they wish to. We encourage schools to communicate with each other and share experiences with students across the globe.

After many years of trying to find the secret formula for measuring software development activities,I’ve come to the conclusion that trying to measure just about any aspect of software development is like trying to measure the odds of a future Baccarat hands based previous Baccarat hands.
Sometimes the reason for wanting to measure is more sinisterpractical, we want to evaluate the individuals on our team to see who is the best and who is the worst.
But really the biggest reason why it is too hard to measure aspects of software development, is thatthere are just way too many variables.
will offer you a definitely better possibility of profitable.

Katy Grimes: Sitting in the Capitol lunchroom Wednesday after the big Senate education hearing, I overheard some interesting comments from the teachers union activists.
Wearing matching blue t-shirts that read, “CTA – We Are One,” it was evident that these weren’t your father’s teachers.
And they weren’t like any of the wonderful elementary and middle school teachers that I had.
The bad attitude, and sense of entitlement has been in abundance at the Capitol this week coming from the teachers.
One teacher, when joined by another carrying a lunch tray, said, “Save your receipts – they’ll reimburse.” I am assuming that the California Teachers Association or California Teachers Federation will be reimbursing the expenses of traveling teachers… judging by the many private buses outside of the Capitol, it’s an all-expenses paid trip.
This was just the lunchroom – I heard many conversations just like these in the elevators, in the hallways, and in the hearing rooms.
Is this what the teaching profession has become? If they are represented the way that every other union represents employees, the poorest performing teachers are protected and promoted, while those who excel, languish.
And before anyone becomes too worked up about my critique of the teachers, my parents were public school teachers – for more than 30 years. We were required to speak grammatically correct English in my home, and by my teachers when I was a child.

Preparing trainers, executives, and business presenters for their next live online class or webinar delivery.
Whether a presenter or trainer is new to the online live virtual communication platform or a seasoned veteran, a lot of hard work, planning, and preparing goes into each online delivery. It is one thing to deliver a session you have conducted live several times, but something entirely different when it’s the first delivery; there are often many unknowns. A low-stakes dress rehearsal can flush out potential issues, reduce unexpected surprises, and provide just-in-time feedback allowing the opportunity to make final tweaks before going in front of a live group of participants.
A dress rehearsal session offers everyone involved in the virtual event an opportunity to do a test run through the session, much like it will be the day it is conducted live.
A preparation meeting with our coach and your facilitator, producer (moderator/host), instructional designer, and any other stakeholders designated.
Recruitment or coordination of individuals that will play the role of participants in the rehearsal.
Setting the rehearsal session plan and expectations.
Providing a platform for rehearsal, if needed.
An assigned coach who will provide support, evaluation, and feedback as determined in the preparation meeting.
A follow up summary outlining feedback and action items.
Dress Rehearsal Sessions are ideal for those new to, or who have minimal experience working in, the virtual delivery space. Seasoned professionals benefit from dress rehearsals when working with new material or audiences.

I've enjoyed reading your blog. Congratulations on your new home and best wishes for this next phase of your lives.
Awwww LK sisters! Your blog has always been a pleasure to read. Hope your job is treating both of you well and congratulations to your new house! We just bought our first home too after getting married (all-vegan wedding!) and really enjoying it as well. I heard that Oregon is a very health-conscious state, my best friend and her new husband are moving there. Anyhow, wish the best for you both and hopefully you will return to writing again. I have returned to blogging again on our site, and also will be improving it on many aspects, as well as adding more recipes. Anyways, take care!

It’s early evening and car after car rolls into the forest car park. The old and battered control van, packed with computers, maps, statistics and information, is parked up and ready, and soon team leaders have been briefed and are in turn briefing their orange high-viz jacketed teams on tonight’s search exercise.
It’s a missing woman apparently. Mid-fifties, dementia sufferer, but early stages. ‘Name?’ No, we don’t know that. ‘What does she look like’? Mid-height and brownish hair apparently, but we don’t know if it’s long or short. ‘What is she wearing? Someone else wants to know, and the answer is vague – they think blue jeans and maybe a black top or coat… Ah, so we are searching a large forest for someone who is female, middle-aged, medium height, brownish hair and wearing jeans. And she may or may not be showing signs of dementia.
But the family are worried and there is cause for concern, the Police have asked us to assist them in looking for her and so we have turned out to search – and hopefully find, this lady.
That’s quite a standard briefing, actually. Gradually, as the search progresses we may get to know more, but it’s important to get started before dark and before the person gets colder, distressed or injured and before they panic and walk further away from their last known spot… So we often start searches with very little information.
Our sector (the bit we are searching) is a square area of the forest and we are asked to do a route and search. That means we go quite fast and search not too far either side of the main path. However dementia sufferers can ‘ping pong’ between objects and veer quite far away into the woods so we are asked to search seventy metres either side of the path. And we also know that dementia sufferers often stay on the easier tracks and paths, but decision points like two paths crossing can be confusing for them and cause them to start this ‘ping pong’ pattern of veering off features. So in this search we aim to dart into any little side tracks and to be mindful of any decision points, while moving fast and hoping to perhaps catch up with the missing person if she’s still on one of the main paths.
It’s a forest, so of course there’s a stream and thickets and it’s pretty boggy in places too, so we are mindful of our own safety – no use one of us becoming another casualty. That would really hamper the search and tie up precious resources as well as reduce our chances of finding the missing person before dark.
We fall into our search routine of walking quickly, and searching the near, far and mid distance and looking through the trees as far as possible, and doing that in all directions. Someone spots a roe deer moving through the trees, another spots a possible hunched-up person in the shadows, but that turns out to be an uprooted tree. We see a field absolutely full of early purple orchids, and plenty of deer, dog and badger tracks. Over the radio, our communications person receives information about a recent sighting and a grid reference. It’s a spot two minutes away and we search but see nothing as the sighting is some hours old by now.
We head back for another search of the area when someone glimpses something at the base of a tree some thirty metres into the wood. It’s a woman matching the description who has a broken leg. She is conscious and able to talk. She seems confused, but says her name is Marie and her husband is Bob and that she lives somewhere nearby, though she doesn’t remember where, and she walked into the area. We contact our control van and ask for support from the other teams, because this is a place that is inaccessible to ambulances and will require us to carry the casualty out. Occasionally the missing person is found and the whole area becomes an incident scene and is treated as a crime scene in the first instance as the Police establish whether the person has been hurt by someone or has hurt themselves, and we have to tread really carefully. But today it’s just a broken leg, and there is no reason to suspect foul play, so we can carry her out. We radio in our specific location and request a stretcher, blankets and splints. Within fifteen minutes, the missing woman has been bundled onto a stretcher and is carried out to the ambulance.
This was of course a training exercise and the woman was one of our team members who really did have a strained ankle. If it had been a real search, we wouldn’t have been able to talk about it let alone write about it, as it would have been a live Police investigation. That does however mean that most people have never heard or thought about Lowland Rescue, unlike our more visible cousins Mountain and Cave Rescue, and the RNLI.
Helping us train by playing a missing person for one of our search exercises will give you a very unique first-hand understanding of what we do, and how we work. We are all professional search and rescue volunteers, but do that in our spare time. Our unit is on call to help with civic emergencies and assist the police twenty-four seven, three hundred and sixty-five days of the year. Nationally, there are thirty-three search and rescue teams and around two thousand professionally qualified and vetted volunteers, and it is estimated that we save the already stretched Police over two billion pounds every year.
If someone goes missing in your family anywhere in Oxfordshire, we will most likely be called out to search for them. We look for children, the elderly, people with mental health problems and people who are feeling despondent. Often we find them.

Truth. In mainland China from 1949 to 1976, truth is all but eradicated, suppressed and supplanted by the iron will of Mao Tse-tung. Millions of people suffer untold anguish as their history, their culture, and their lives are brought under communist rule. Many flee to Taiwan and Hong Kong.
letters that reveal the fate of the family she has not heard from in more than a decade.
As Wen-shan and her great-uncle read the letters in the jade dragon box, they discover an unbreakable bond between each other, their family — both past and present — and the gospel of Jesus Christ.
Letters in the Jade Dragon Box is a beautifully written LDS historical novel inspired by the real-life experiences of one man who was offered truth that would heal his heart, his spirit, and his family. His story helps shed light on a time and a place where, despite all odds, truth refused to be broken.
Runtime Unabridged 7 Hrs. 53 Min.
Gale Sears is an award-winning author, known for her historical accuracy and intensive research. Gale received a BA in playwriting from Brigham Young University and a master’s degree in theater arts from the University of Minnesota. She is the author of the bestselling The Silence of God, Letters in the Jade Dragon Box, and several other novels, including The Route, Christmas for a Dollar, Autumn Sky, Until the Dawn, and Upon the Mountains. She and her husband, George, reside in Utah.
I enjoyed “The Silence of God” and I loved this book even more. I am very impressed at how well Gale Sears was able to paint vivid pictures my mind by incorporating traditional Chinese culture and beliefs. Confucianism and reverence for ancestors is especially fascinating (half way through the book I downloaded the works of Confucius, and if you remember my definition of a “the classics” you will know that is a very good thing). I also saw many political parallels between Communist China and Communist Russia and even some with the United States in our current political climate.
The gospel lessons within were not exclusive to our faith (prayer, miracles, faith, tithing), so I would highly recommend this book, for everyone, not only members of the church.
I expected to read a touching story of a young Chinese girl but this book has much more. Anyone who wonders how Socialism and Communism play out, will be enlightened. Gale keeps things lighter than they could be. Some very terrible things happened in China during Mao's rule. This is one story to ponder when life seems rough.
Family bonds of love and devotion make this book worth reading.
Letters in the Jade Dragon Box was truly an eye opener for me as far as the treatment of human beings in communist China. I loved the authors descriptions through letters and the emotion involved through family bonds of love and devotion even though they could not be together. I appreciated the historic facts and interesting explanations at the end of each chapter...... definitely a book I would recommend, especially to those who enjoy a historical novel.
I absolutely loved this book from the very beginning. The history was fascinating, and the characters were lovable. It did get a little sad, but there was an underlining hope to the story that overcame the sadness. I highly recommend this book!
I love this book. I enjoyed the history surrounding Chairman Mao and China. I also fell in love with Chen's story and her connection with her family. Great on audio - won't put you to sleep!
I have come to love the historic fiction of Gale Sears. First in The Silence of God and now in the Letters in the Jade Dragon Box. Her characters have depth of experience that comes through on each page.
The history that she gives of the Mao era is heartbreaking. I am not versed in this time period and I learned how horrible it was for the people of China.
I would whole heartedly give my recommendation to read this book.
Gale Sears has written a moving story of the changes which come into the life of a young Chinese girl living in Hong Kong as a broken link between herself and her parents is miraculously repaired. The female protagonist of the book, Wen-shan, is torn from her family in Communist China during the Cultural Revolution and sent to live with her grandfather’s brother in Hong Kong. We follow the sometimes painful transition of Wen-shan from a scared, sometimes bitter girl to a hopeful, grateful young teenager. Her own transition is partnered with that of her great uncle, who has his own demons to battle and overcome. The descriptions of China under the rule of Mao Tse Tung are sometimes emotionally difficult to read, but reflect what others have reported of this era in China’s history. If I have a criticism of the book, it is that sometimes the language seems to play into stereotypes of how some Chinese people speak imperfect English. While some native Chinese may sometimes do so, certainly their spoken communications between themselves in Cantonese or Mandarin would not be devoid of the needed parts of speech, and a fictional translation of conversations in their native tongue should reflect as much. (Amusingly, the book’s fictional nature is highlighted by the unbelievable politeness Hong Kong teenagers are depicted exhibiting towards not only their elders, but also towards one another.) Apart from that, the book is well-written and keeps one reading on hoping for the expected ending that one wishes for. Additionally, I found my mouth watering more than once when Sears writes about Chinese food.
A very interesting and informative historical novel revolving around one of the first LDS converts in Hong Kong and his great niece. Chen Wen-shan is a fifteen year old girl who has grown up under the roof of her great uncle. She was smuggled out of mainlain China when she was very young and can hardly remember her mother or the area of China that she is from. Her and her uncle do not get along well because they do not understand one another. One day they get a letter asking them to come to a museum to meet with the curator of the museum. When they arrive they are given a wooden box that has been smuggled out of mainland China, along with an art teacher. The box contains letters from Chen Wen-shan's mother and exquisite paintings painted by her grandfather. Some of the paintings portray the area of China she is originally from and show how beautiful the area is. The letters tell the story of the iron fist communist rule over the people in mainland china and the suffering and trials of the people who are kept under that rule. Chen Wen-shan begins to understand her family history and the reasons she was smuggled out of china when she was young and how it happened and how it has blessed her life. She begins to understand her great uncle better and a close relationship is established between the two of them as they read the letters together and look at the paintings. The paintings and letters had been carefully concealed over time and then smuggled out at great risk and finally put into the hands of Chen Wen-shan. The box contains true family treasures and much love. Chen Wen-shan is given the chance to know a little about her mother and her mother's love and longing for her, as well as a chance to know a little about her grandfather and his great talent as a painter. It is a wonderful and enjoyable book to read. Add this book to your bookshelf.
Gale Sears did a fabulous job of weaving fiction and history in an unforgettable journey through post-Mao China. The experiences of Wen-shan and her friends Jun-Jai and Liying make you feel like you're joining your own friends for an adventure, while the relationship between Wen-shan and her uncle Zhao make you want to improve your relationships with your own family members. It's an excellent read, and I would recommend it to anyone!
I loved this story and the way it was told.
I really enjoyed this historic novel. It was artfully written by a talented author. It reminded me of my precious gift of freedom. The novel tells about a time in recent Chinese history and does it in a way that makes you want to know more. I wonder how anyone was able to survive the horror of that time. But through it all the novel is filled with the love of a gentle family. I loved this story and the way it was told.
I really love this historical fiction. I love the way Gall Sears captures the old Chinese ways and brings it to life. I really come to love Wen-shan and her uncle. I love how Wen-Shan discovers about her family, especially her mother. The letters and pictures in the jade box where presented very well. Enjoyed this book very much!
I really enjoyed this book. Gale Sears has a wonderful way of telling a story and giving you information about the time in history and the people. The story is about leaning truth from a different angle beyond what you see to be reality. It changes life, yours and others.
Excellent companion to "The Silence of God"
"In you were near me.." is how the mother of Chen Wen-shan began her letters to her young daughter after she was forced to send the daughter away from their home in the beautiful Guilan mountains to escape their difficult life created by communism and Chairman Mao's stringent laws. The story of "Letters in the Jade Dragon Box" is that of the young daughter, now 15 years old, and now living within the safety of her emotionally distant great uncle's home in Hong Kong. Chen Wen-shan comes into possession of her mother's letters as well as beautiful artwork created by her grandfather, all neatly packed in an ornate box and smuggled from communist China. We learn more about her mother's difficult life as Chen Wen-shan methodically reads the numbered letters over several weeks. The chapters alternate between the mother's life in mainland China and the daughter's life in modern Hong Kong during which she is introduced to the LDS church. The chapters then join together for a satisfying conclusion. The book is well researched and well written and is an excellent companion to Gale Sear's book "The Silence of God" which highlights the difficult life of LDS saints in communist Russia.

If you have read this book and liked it, then you should read The Silence of God. I enjoyed it better.
This book taught me so much about some of the history behind communism in China. I fear that I haven't been very educated on this subject throughout my life and I found this book very intriguing and educational.
I also loved the point of view through this young girl. Gale Sears uses a lot of emotion in her reading and at times I felt what this girl was feeling. I loved reading the letters each time she opened a new one.
I enjoyed this book and I read it very quickly. I would recommend this to young adults as well as adults. Read it with your family and learn something outside of our little culture.
I have enjoyed learning about the Asian history and culture in this story. The author has a great way of helping all us be thankful for our freedoms and freedom to worship. I'm definitely glad to have read this.
I thoroughly enjoyed this book. It is intelligently written, educational without being boring. I was engaged the entire time! Can't wait to read more from this author.
This book had a wonderful rich history filled story! The author has some real talent, and it was great that she was able to show us that not everyone has life as easy as we have it here in the United States. We take for granted our religious freedom too often and there are some who don't have it, who have to fight for it.
Easy reading and yet hard to put down.
I got so into the book that I found it hard to put down. Used every extra minute I could find reading it. Found the history a warning of what could happen to this country if we are not careful. Thanks for a great book!
I had been hesitant to start another author so I had not read Gale Sears' previous book. I am now sold on her writing. While growing up in the sixties and seventies, I was really unaware of conditions in China. Most of the concern was with Russia. Gale has done an excellent job in tweaking my interest in the conditions of Communist China. Her chareacters resonated iwth me. I enjoyed the book and would recommend it highly to other readers. As a result of this, I will read Gale's other books.

Mobile technology has brought countless benefits for businesses and non-profit organizations alike. These organizations benefit from increased reporting, fast communication and now mobile payment solutions. In the past, individuals avoided donations at charity events because they found it inconvenient to carry cash with them. Fortunately, mobile technology puts an end to this dilemma for both the donor and the charity with mobile payment solutions with applications and mobile point-of-sale (POS) systems. Mobile credit card processing allows charities to accept credit cards using their mobile devices easily while giving their donors the speed they desire.
Many people do not carry large amounts of cash with them, but you will rarely find them without a credit or debit card. Because of this, mobile payment solutions are convenient for both donors and beneficiaries. Donors do not have to carry cash along with them every time they want to share and charities can accept contributions anywhere. Additionally,electronic receipts can be sent through email for tax write-offs and the non-profit will receive funds to their account in just a day or two. With simple to use software, volunteers can quickly learn how to operate mobile applications, which benefits both the organization and the donor by allowing fundraisers to collect donations quickly and conveniently.
Security is crucial for non-profits who are collecting donations. Therefore, mobile payment solutions do not store any card or user information on the phone. With PCI compliant mobile card readers and applications, donors card information is being encrypted as it is swiped, keeping your information safe and secure so you can focus on the work you are doing.
Studies have shown that donors are more likely to give higher contributions when paying with credit or debit cards because they find the method fast, easy and safe– proving to be a huge advantage for fundraisers using mobile credit card processing. Additionally, there is a higher chance that donors will opt for recurring payments once they have experience the convenience of donating with a card.
Typically the mobile payment application can be downloaded via the Blackberry, Android, or iOS application stores. Then, you merchant services provider provides you with a mobile point-of-sale (POS) system to plug into your mobile device. When the application is open, simply enter the information required and swipe the credit card. At this point, the donor may enter their email address to receive an electronic receipt. The transaction will be processed and the donated funds will appear in the fundraiser’s bank account after a day or two.
People are willing to help charitable institutions if they can do it in a more convenient way. Mobile payment solutions are the answer to bring nonprofit organizations to the next level with accepting donations.

We will begin at the basic level of new research tools: e.g. designing projects that will plumb the multifaceted electronic Oxford English Dictionary and various resources of the Research Library Network (RLIN). We will then move out to consider the resources of the Internet and the World Wide Web, where we will drop in on libraries and archives around the world. If the class is sufficiently varied in interest and eccentricity, we should be able in this segment to divide up this universe in order to pursue individual study projects that can then be shared together. At this point, having tested the rocket engines and contemplated the cosmos, the seminar will assume more specific concerns, addressing some ongoing conceptual changes being enforced by the new technology. Among these will be the way in which the "text," as we are accustomed to think of it, is being transformed into "texts." Another will be in terms of what constitutes a "canon." To this end we will consider a number of texts from various current centers of computer scholarship: viz. the Institute for Advanced Technology in the Humanities at the University of Virginia (where the new D.G. Rossetti electronic edition is being created) and, particularly, the Brown University Women Writers Project. We will also work with and vet the project I am editing, "Frankenstein: the Pennsylvania Electronic Edition," testing out the principles and research capacities of a hypertext edition. Members of the seminar will also pursue analytical projects using various software programs that allow new approaches to literary scholarship and perhaps creating others as we can imagine their need.
throughout the term and accounts of the various experiments and lines of inquiry attempted during it.

Your laptop becomes your private movie and TV screen – just connect to the best broadband plan and watch whatever you want, whenever you want.
It’s the defining moment of the match. The team needs six runs off the last ball, and the entire stadium tenses. Like everyone else, you clench your hands together and move to the edge of your seat, your eyes on the bowler. As the bowler unleashes a corking delivery, the batsman takes aim and lobs the ball for a lofty six right outside the grounds. The stadium erupts and you join in the victory celebrations – except, the crowd is at the actual stadium whereas you were watching the match on your laptop at home.
Why would anyone go and sit in the heat of the stadium when they can watch the best of sports in their air-conditioned home?
All you need is a broadband connection and the best broadband plan to connect your laptop to the best in general entertainment, sports, movies and music. A big enough laptop screen with a good resolution serves as your portable TV or movie screen – just pick your favourite spot in your house, connect to the Internet using the broadband connection and start watching your favourite content.
You can even take an annual membership to video streaming services like Netflix and Hotstar, setting them to your laptop for viewing movies and TV shows at your leisure. When you take the best broadband plans from a service provider like Airtel, you also get a one-year free subscription to Amazon Prime – that is access to even more amazing content on your laptop.
The portability of the laptop allows you to watch the content of your choice from any location that has a working and best broadband plan, with fast speeds and no network outages. These are important attributes especially when you want to stream live sports or award shows taking place in another country.
Low monthly cost: At first glance, if the plan price seems too high, do take the time to examine what you get in return. A plan that offers unlimited calling and texting, over 150 GB monthly data and over 100 Mbps speeds is not just a good plan, it’s the best broadband plan at whatever it costs.
High speed: Always check the Internet connection speed, whatever the provider may claim – the Ookla speed test is considered a good test for online speeds. Any connection with speeds 50 Mbps and higher is good enough, but Airtel’s best broadband plans offer speeds between 100 Mbps to 300 Mbps. The faster the speed, the more productive the use of the connection will be.
No downtime and high uptime: If you want to enjoy streaming movies and TV shows, or even live matches or programmes, then you need constant high uptime. Airtel’s broadband plans are powered by V-fiber technology, which shows 99% uptime and always-on connectivity. So you never miss a programme and enjoy every content as if it’s taking place in front of your eyes.

2016 Imagine Awards Honoree: David DeSanctis — Rauch, Inc.
Rauch is pleased to announce the 2016 Imagine Awards Individual honoree, David DeSanctis.
Born with Down syndrome, 23-year-old David DeSanctis is very bright, communicative, and aware of his disability. A Ballard High School graduate and a graduate of the University of Louisville/Jefferson County Public Schools Providing Access to Community Transition (P.A.C.T.) program, David currently attends classes at Jefferson Community and Technical College and is active with Down Syndrome of Louisville, Angels in Disguise, and Best Buddies.
David had the opportunity of a lifetime to generate awareness and understanding when he was cast as “Produce,” a lead role in the movie Where Hope Grows. Released in 2014, the film focuses on what it means to belong. Produce and the other leading character, Calvin, develop a friendship that gives Calvin’s life new meaning and purpose. Through the long hours on the set, David learned a lot while teaching those around him about tolerance, friendship, and acceptance.
David became interested in acting and broadcast journalism in high school. When the producer of Where Hope Grows came to Louisville, several people suggested he meet David. David did the rest, competing against well-established and experienced actors, landing the role thanks to his hard work and passion. He learned lines quickly and adjusted to grueling hours, and it all paid off. When you watch the movie, David isn't David – he's Produce. He brought the character to life in a way that only he could have. David has approached post-production and marketing responsibilities with the same work ethic and passion, using his opportunity of a lifetime to help others.
Since the movie release, David has traveled extensively to speak to groups and fans about his experience with the movie as well as bigger topics like friendship, achievement, and acceptance. What started out as a personal dream for David has turned into something much bigger as he continues to help create communities where everyone is appreciated.
Join us in celebrating David DeSanctis at the March 5, 2016 Imagine Awards gala! Tickets, sponsorship, and event information are available at www.imagineawards.org.

I’ll say this much about Act of Valor: It’s the closest you can come to experiencing a military mission from the perspective of a Navy SEAL without actually enlisting.
See what I mean. I loved this movie, it was so well done. and it gets bad reviews. I mean they had actual soldiers acting better than a lot of Hollywood actors. Sure the script could use some help here and there, but it was well done. Have you ever seen a stealth mission like that at all in any movie? Have you seen them fire live fire rounds right over the people they are filming?

CHICAGO – Monday night’s crisis point came with 3:33 left in the third period.
That’s when Notre Dame star Arike Ogunbowale, facing Stanford in the last regional final of her college career, headed to the bench after picking up her third personal foul and second in a span of two minutes.
Having whittled a nine-point deficit to three, the Irish needed to find a way to push through in the second-team All-American’s absence. Jackie Young showed the way, just as her big brother knew she would.
The former Princeton High School star, still the state’s all-time prep scoring leader for boys or girls, had eight points on 2-of-9 shooting at that moment. Young finished with a game-high 25 as the Irish surged to their seventh Final Four in nine seasons.
Seven of Young’s points came with Arike on the bench in those waning minutes of the third quarter as the defending national champions set up another showdown with longtime rival Connecticut. That will take place on Friday night in Tampa, where Baylor and Oregon will play in the other national semifinal.
First, Young found senior Brianna Turner for the first of two straight baskets. Then the 6-foot junior guard got serious, scoring seven of the Irish’s final nine points, most on drives to the basket against the smaller Stanford guards.
“We just had to stay together, play our game and do what we do best, and that’s go in transition," Young said. "I was getting to the basket the whole time. I just wasn’t hitting shots in the beginning."
The key, she said, was "just keeping an aggressive mindset and attacking the basket.” If she kept shooting, she added, “I knew eventually shots were going to fall."
Before Young keyed that third-quarter surge, Notre Dame hadn’t led since 17-16 with seven minutes left in the first half. Once the Irish nudged ahead at 45-44, they would soon take control of the game against the second-seeded Cardinal.
Notre Dame scored 13 of the final 17 points in the quarter and would go on to shoot 71 percent in the second half after shooting just 26 percent before the break.
"We knew we had to get our stuff together," said Young, named a third-team All-American along with teammate Jessica Shepard earlier Monday. "We had 20 minutes left. We just had to play a little bit harder. We just changed our mindset in the second half."
Meeting on the second weekend of the NCAA Tournament for the fourth time in five years, Notre Dame and Stanford experienced another game of extreme runs. After blowing a 16-point second-half lead two years ago and rallying from 15 down only to fall short in Ogunbowale’s freshman year, Notre Dame made sure to finish the job this time.
“Arike got the third foul, and we went to Jackie and she just took over the game,” Irish coach Muffet McGraw said.
Freshman guard Abby Prohaska, who provided four points and a spark off the bench, also earned praise from McGraw for her work in that tenuous span.
Ogunbowale still finished with 21 points, while Turner had 14 and Shepard produced her 17th double-double of the season, second-most in school history.
The Irish entered with the nation’s No. 1 scoring offense (89.2 points) and ranked No. 2 in field-goal percentage offense (.518). Stanford came in 18th in field-goal percentage defense (.358), but Notre Dame eventually solved the riddle.
Calling more isolations for Young, along with high-post ball screens from the forwards, seemed to fix that.
“Second half we went with some different sets, got some movement on the offense, played better defensively, got running and got scoring,” McGraw said.
In McGraw and Stanford’s Tara VanDerveer, the final Elite Eight matchup of the women’s NCAA Tournament pitted Hall of Fame coaches with nearly 2,000 combined wins over 77 combined years on the sideline. Those totals included a combined 1,747 wins, 65 years and four national championships at their current schools.
Young helped extend that drought for the Pac-12 tournament champs by asserting herself at a pivotal moment. Back in November she scored a season-high 28 points on this same court in a win over DePaul.
Even Terrence Young, six years older and a former Princeton High state champion as well, could find little fault with his sister’s performance after this one.
What did he tell her after Monday’s win?
Along the way, Notre Dame’s starting five became the first group in Division 1 history, men’s or women’s, to cross the 10,000-point threshold for a career. That includes 1,112 points from Shepard’s first two seasons before transferring from Nebraska.

Q: What are so me of the advantages of participating in a regular exercise program?
A: You're not listening....Foods are fried these days in vegetable oil. In fact, they're permeated in it. How could getting more vegetables be bad for you?
If you had purchased $1000.00 of Nortel stock one year go, it would now be worth $49.00.
all the beer, then turned in the cans for the aluminum recycling REFUND, you would have had $214.00.
Q:Is chocolate bad for me?
A:Are you crazy?HELLO Cocoa beans! Another vegetable. It's the best feel-good food around!!

One of our add-on resources is called "Interactive Objects". That's a pretty cryptic name for something quite simple actually. If you come up with a better name, let us know and we'll change it.
Imagine a boardgame where you put down the board and then some pieces on top that you can move. Well, that's an interactive object: a background image with a set of images that you can drag and drop on top of that background image.
So that's what "Interactive Objects" is: a custom puzzle put together from a background image and a set of foreground images.
You can now drag the snake, kangaroo and koala around on top of the background image.
If you have some ideas for drag-and-drop scenes you could build and would use in Coviu, email us at support@coviu.com with your idea and we'll give you a quote.
Here's an custom example we built from "Interactive Objects": a chess game.
To activate the "Interactive Objects" add-on for your Coviu Professional account, send us an email at support@coviu.com and we'll turn it on for you. Right now this is for free. In the near future, we will create functionality to let you turn these add-ons on and off yourselves, at which time we will be charging a small extra monthly amount.

Do you get miles from the airline for flying?
Where you departing from? Havana? St Petersburg? Hong Kong?
Maybe Flatbush , Monsey or 5 towns.
What about flight and hotel packages?

This paper presents a study about the variations of the coastal sea level in Paranaguá Bay-Paraná State, South Region of Brazil (SRB) from January 1997 to December 1998. Tidal forcing is the main cause of this variability, but the effects of meteorological variables are also present in the rising and lowering of the observed sea level. Hourly time series of the water level, atmospheric pressure and wind from the gauge tide and meteorological conventional stations were used. The Reanalysis data set of the \“National Centers for Environmental Prediction” (NCEP) and the \“National Center Atmospheric Research” (NCAR), on some points over the oceanic area near the bay were also used. The meteorological influences present in the original tide gauge records were extracted using a low-pass filter removing the oscillations with periods relative to the astronomical tide patterns. Meteorological time series were also filtered. Local and remote atmospheric driving forces were studied using statistical analysis on time and frequency domains. Therefore, the correlations in this physical process were defined to know the lag time between the meteorological variables and the coastal sea level response to the occurrences of the low frequency atmospheric systems. The NCEP/NCAR Reanalysis data translated better with the low frequency atmospheric phenomena variations showing that they are a very good information source for the South Atlantic Ocean (SAO) region where the lack of data is still substantial. Keywords: Artificial Neural Network, coastal sea level variability, meteorological tide (Surge), time series forecasting, NCEP/NCAR Reanalysis data.

This month’s issue of Newtype magazine comes with an appendix cellebrating the 25th anniversary of Five Stars Stories (also known as Five Stars Monogatari).
The appendix is entitled F.S.S. 25th Anniversary SPECIAL ISSUE and will have illustrations from several guest artists, including CLAMP.
This month’s issue of Newtype magazine goes on sale today.
The image features characters Hyuga Akito, who works for EU army, and his boss, Layla. More info can be found at this Code Geass community.
CLAMP is once again in charge for drawing the character designs concepts for the project.
Less than a month away for the official start of GATE7, the official website of JUMP SQ magazine informs that the first chapter will have 43 pages with color page(s). Plus, GATE7 will feature the magazine’s cover and an original good will be given away to 500 readers to celebrate the beginning of the serialization (more details on the next JUMP SQ issue).
It starts in the next issue of JUMP SQ, on sale February 4!
Here is the new Kobato. illustration that CLAMP drew for Newtype‘s 2011 calendar. The calendar comes as an appendix of this month’s issue of the magazine.
Special thanks to cutesherry for finding the illustration (which was originally posted at animepaper).
According to this blogger, the Kobato. manga is getting an increase in number of pages per chapter in Newtype magazine starting from the current issue.
This month’s Kobato. chapter had 24 pages instead of the usual 14. Future chapters will follow the new page count.
That’s great news! Apparently our prays have been heard! =D I’m very happy that Newtype allowed a few more pages for CLAMP (Kobato. needed it). Hopefully this will mean quicker tankoubon releases and provide a better development to the story.

Dear Valued Guest, Thank you for your wonderful review. I am pleased to hear my staff was accommodating to your needs and provided excellent service.

They are great rooms as well as the suites we have with full kitchens separate bedroom and can sleep 6 people. All in which has a screened lanai they overlook our courtyard as well. Thank you again for sharing your experience and we hope to see you on your next trip the Naples.
Vi kom til byen for å reise og besøke familie, og dette har vært et lyst sted. Min mann er handikappede og det fulle handikap rom er flott. Roll I. Dusj, barer på badet, kjøleskap, komfyr, vaskeservant er rullestolvennlig. Rommet er rent og personalet er vennlig.
I am not sure either. I agree with the previous answer. More than likely you have to be 18 yrs or older . Call the Red Roof's toll free number.
Yes, smoking is OK on balconies and on parking lot all around it. I am here at moment although I do not smoke. IHOP is only 10 paces from my room for the best omelette in Naples.
queria consultar cual seria la habitacion que cuenta con cocina full... seria la habitacion superior o la suite? Muchas gracias!
Hola; he comprado habitacion para enero y me figura en el voucher 4 personas y somos 5. Son dos camas grandes y un sofa? Gracias!

The nail polish section of your local Sally Beauty store is about to get a makeover. The Nail Studio, a wall of 750 bottles of nail polish and 150 nail art tools and colors, will begin rolling out to stores across the country this winter.
To celebrate, Sally Beauty teamed up with the Dallas Art Museum to recreate the Monet Water Lilies that hangs in the museum. Over 5,500 bottles of nail polish were strategically placed to create the piece and it looks so cool I just had to share!
Wow!! This is so neat and fun!!
Now that the bottles have no labels they should give them away to us once they take the display down lol. Wishful thinking lol.
Two of my favorite things…nail polish…and art!
I have wanted to paint that on my nails for at least 20 years. I used to paint tiny scenes on my nails when I was in cosmetology school back then, but I never thought I could do that painting justice with my non-dominant hand. Now I will try anything with both hands. LOL…Nail art has come a LONG way since I started doing it back in the 80′s.
That recreation sure is beautiful!
How cool is that?? I dont go to sallys all that often. But with a new nail studio coming, im going to want to take a trip there for sure.
So we can go to the Dallas Museum of Art to see the nail polish version, and how long will it be on display?
Amazing was exactly the word I was going to use!
That is very pretty and creative.
This is so clever and creative!

Coloplast, a manufacturer of ostomy, urology, continence and wound care supplies which has its U.S. headquarters here but is based in Denmark, announced the acquisition of Coral Springs, Fla.-based Comfort Medical, a provider of those supplies, in November.
Comfort Medical, a subsidiary of Liberty Medical, expects to have sales of $38 million in 2016—far less than what Coloplast paid. But you can’t put a price on the direct line to consumers that Comfort Medical offers Coloplast, analysts say.
“It’s a big deal and I think we are going to see more of these manufacturers going downstream,” Smith said.
Other recent examples of manufacturers buying into the medical supplies space include Domtar’s acquisition of Home Delivery Incontinence Supplies for $45 million in October; and C.R. Bard’s acquisition of Liberator Medical for $181 million in late 2015.
The trend will likely continue, analysts say.
“There’s been rumored and actual manufacturers buying and looking at buying,” said Rick Glass, president of Steven Richards & Associates.
Comfort Medical, which didn’t respond to a request for comment, has itself been on an acquisition trail. In April, it acquired Wheel:Life, a digital media publication and social community for wheelchair users. In 2015, it acquired the ostomy and urological business of Liberty Medical and Medical Direct Club.
