As in, the big outtie that comes with a pregnancy. As you might imagine, I've been somewhat inwardly focused on this journey into parenting more than one child. My days have been consumed with pondering how I want to expand my cloth diapering stash to accommodate 2 in diapers, whether or not to upgrade to a large vehicle for our family, and scoping out the infant car seats on the market today. And, of course, lots of other things, like the actual birth process, and everything that I'll be experiencing in the upcoming months, and being a good mom to Elizabeth. So, look for baby #2 in the spring! I'm nervous for you. I can't imagine parenting more than 1 child and mine is eight. So, may God's peace be with you!

The Atelier de la Conception de l’Espace (ALICE), affiliated with the School of Architecture at the École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne, is an educational facility focusing on preparing students for the practice of architecture. To cultivate the ability to create or shape space, students must be confronted with an educational frame work that prepares them for the field’s many practical challenges, from cultural, social, environmental, and physical concerns to working with the wide range of collaborators who must bring their creativity and expertise together in the design process. The second volume in a four-part series on ALICE, The House 1 Catalog focuses on a prototype, House I, developed and constructed throughout the academic year. This mobile structure incorporates ALICE’s core values of communication and collaboration in building processes, and it will travel as part of an exhibition to several major cities, where it will be continually modified and reconfigured. With five hundred illustrations, this book continues the experimental narrative Dieter Dietz, Matthias Michel, and Daniel Zamarbide began in The Invention of Space, which will be further developed in the forthcoming third and fourth volumes in the series. Edited by Dieter Dietz, Matthias Michel and Daniel Zamarbide. With texts by Matthias Michel.

This post combines a few of my favourite things. Stripes. Tea. Crisp shirt dresses. Baskets. Cake. If I’m not careful I may burst into Julie Andrews song any moment now! But I’ll refrain, for your sake. Just the ticket for this in-between weather. Very topsy turvy, very Alice in Wonderland. Which is rather fitting, as Wonderland is where I’m taking you for tea. Well, the Wonderland themed terrace at The Sanderson in fact. Marble tables, a babbling brook, blossoming trees, singing sugar pots and menus hidden in books. You start by choosing your tea, served in little “Drink Me” bottles. Then the main event arrives with a flourish. Layers of treats, both sweet and savoury. Quickly followed by a couple of flower pots. I won’t tell you what they really are, it’d ruin the surprise. What I will say that if tea, cake and whimsy are your cup of tea, you’re going to love this place!

Iyanla: Fix My Life airs Saturday, September 19 at 9:00 p.m. ET/PT on OWN: Oprah Winfrey Network.

i acted like i don't give a... i sang pop as i walked into my room. slowly i shut the door and locked myself in this little box. the walls threw back the echoes of Mak's voice. she doesn't like my new boyfriend. in fact, she didn't like my previous boyfriend too. and the boy before him. for they aren't in the same field just like me. you know what...a teacher. this is the fourth time maybe more...she told me to find her a teacher-son-in-law. i don't blame her either. she's already went through hell. there's a fine line between trauma and learned from lesson. If u can walk through the broken glass without pain, it doesnt call trauma anymore.

If you're hankering to get your motor runnin' and head out on the highway – but would prefer to do it in the most luxurious way imaginable – then you'll want to get behind the wheel of the world's most expensive RV, a $3-million motorhome so lavish that even its bells and whistles have bells and whistles. With a $3-million price tag that is not for the faint of heart, the EleMMent Palazzo Superior RV from Austria-based <a href="http://www.marchi-mobile.com/">Marchi Mobile</a> is a 45-foot-long recreational vehicle that is in a league of its own, loaded with a mind-blowing array of lavish luxury features. There's a large skylight overhead and special lighting features that come alive at night. There are also electric sliding doors throughout the interior, not unlike <em>Star Trek</em>'s Starship Enterprise. Don't think of the EleMMent Palazzo Superior as an RV, but as a yacht with wheels, complete with this mission-control centre in the "cockpit." Note the unique "panoramic, helicopter-like windshield," boasting a specially designed tri-blade windshield wiper. There's also a large lounge area that's built for relaxation. All told, the $3M RV boasts an impressive 732 square feet of living space — far larger than most of the houses profiled in <a href="http://www.hgtv.ca/shows/tiny-house-hunters/" target="_blank">HGTV Canada's <em>Tiny House Hunters</em></a>. A hidden staircase can be dropped down with the push of a button, revealing instant access to the upper level, where the master bedroom and adjacent bathroom are located. You had better believe there's a master bedroom, and it's far more spacious than what we're used to seeing in an RV, big enough to accomodate a king-size bed and a fireplace. Yes, a fireplace! Like the bedroom, the master bathroom has plenty of room, and hosts a larger-than-you'd-imagine walk-in shower, as well as a generous sink and towel storage. Despite all of the RV's impressive features, easily the most awe-inspiring is the Sky Lounge, a pop-up rooftop cocktail bar that boasts underfloor heating and iextravagant marble lighting. Another view of the pop-up Sky Lounge, showcasing how the EleMMent Palazzo Superior's Transformer-like ability to morph into something cooler than it already was. Designed by the famed German industrial designer Luigi Colani — whose bulbous design esthetic has been embraced by such European car manufacturers as Fiat, Alfa Romeo and BMW — the EleMMent Palazzo Superior is built on a Volvo chassis and a 510-horsepower Volvo diesel-powered engine. Some of the vehicle's other luxury features include an 18-foot wide automated awning that opens to reveal a barbecue station, with its own refrigerator along with a 40-inch weatherproofed TV and speaker system. At that price, you can be certain the vehicles undergo rigourous testing, which is just what you'd expect from a motor home that strives to be the four-wheeled equivalent of a Gulfstream jet.

This half-day workshop is designed for educators to discover the importance of outdoor loose parts play and its place in both the Early Years Framework and Australian Quality Standards. Using information from Professor David Sobel on children’s play motifs, educators will play themselves to create models of outdoor learning spaces that support the Early Years Framework. The workshop also explores some of the barriers to learning outside and how risk, organisation and supervision can be reframed to create success in a school or early learning centre environment.

Housing New Zealand is promising to have its earthquake damaged homes in Christchurch rebuilt by June, six months after it said the work would be completed. The agency had promised to rebuild 700 homes by the end of last year, but missed that deadline. It has already managed to complete repairs on 5000 other properties ahead of schedule. From June, it will disband its Canterbury Earthquake Recovery Programme after completing what it's describing as the biggest investment in social housing in recent history. It budgeted $350 million for the work, however the total cost has yet to be finalised. Plans to demolish a block of former state housing flats in central Wellington have been given the go ahead by the city council. Hundreds of homes demolished in Christchurch's red zone could have been saved, according to one of the country's largest house relocation companies. The Christchurch City Mission is opening new emergency housing today, just as figures released to RNZ show the rebuild of social housing in the city is still behind schedule.

If you are just coming to this for the first time, please go back one week to read Episode One: The First Little Piggy. The big bad wolf than said, “I will huff and I will puff and I will blow your house down!” He than did so, and then ate all the little piggys, but don’t worry they weren’t my little piggys they were John's. The first (little piggy)’ went back to Hill Center where they gave him his prerequisite override and told him that if he took it to the registrar they could put him in the right class. The second (little piggy)’ went back to Administrative Services Building One Annex who told him that they couldn’t do anything without a special permission number which he probably couldn’t get because he still had a Z in Calc I. The third (little piggy)’ applied for a special permission number anyways. The fourth (little piggy)’ went back to Engineering Building where his dean put him in his Mechanics-Statics class. He was now taking enough credits to be official a full time student. The fifth (little piggy)’ got the special permission number and took it his prerequisite override, his proof of getting into his class to Administrative Services Building One Annex were they told him no this is The L Office Of The Registrar he had to go across the hall to The B Office Of The Registrar. The sixth (little piggy)’ went across the hall to The B Office Of The Registrar where they put him in his math class. The seventh (little piggy)’ went to his professor for Calc I office hours where he discovered that in fact not only hadn’t he replied to his emails but he also wasn’t there. That is version of the little piggy song, and if you want to know what happened to the last three little piggy primes my response would have to be "there is a next semester". There is only one right answer to that question- "I don't care." Should striped bass have the right to remain silent? By the way, I came up with a cool catenary experiment and the awesome mathclub made it happen. See info and pictures here. oh, and friday I saw a squirrel fall out of a tree. I recently ordered a single 12ft long 2x4 from Home Depot in New York City which I needed delivered to me at YU. Unsure of how to get something that I ordered delivered to a lab, I told them to deliver it to my (10x18 ft) dorm room. Looking out the window of Belfer Hall I saw a very long something leaning against, and, in fact, well over the campus "security" booth. I figured this was most probably my 2x4. Eventually, I made my way to the booth, and verified that it was the Home Depot delivery I was expecting. The delivery guy was very eager to have me sign the delivery confirmation thingy and be on his way. After the Home Depot guy hurried away, security wasn't about to let me get away so easily -- after all, what did I need such a large piece of lumber for, and in my dorm room, no less? After some explanation, I was able to convince him to let me bring the thing up to the 13th floor lab where I needed it. It is now safely bolted to the ceiling. This is my rendition of the little piggy song based on real life experiences. The first little piggy went online to check his spring semester schedule and discovered that he had been removed from his Calc II and his Mechanics-Statics class. The second little piggy emailed the registrars office, who replied telling him that he had a Z in Calc I, and since Calc I was a prerequisite for Calc II and Mechanics-Statics he had been unregistered. The third little piggy emailed his Calc I professor to find out why he had never told the school what he had gotten in Calc I. The third little piggy never got a response so he emailed his professor again; he still got no response so he emailed him a third time, still no response. The fourth little piggy emailed the dean, who informed the fourth little piggy that in fact he could do nothing. The fifth little piggy went to Hill Center where the math department told him that he had to go through the Registrars office. The sixth little piggy went to Administrative Services Building One Annex where he was told “No that goes through the dean’s office”. The seventh little piggy went to the Engineering Building where the secretary told him that they couldn’t do anything, but to come back on the 16th. The eighth little piggy emailed his dean again, asking why the secretary told him to come back on the 16th when he had talked to her on the 17th. He replied that he had no idea what she was talking about, but that if the little piggy had proof, such as a note from the professor, showing that he had a grade then the dean could put him into any open section of a class. The ninth little piggy went to the deans office where they told him, "It is 12:00, we are closed, come back after lunch;" when he went back after lunch they told him that the dean wasn’t there since he had left at 12:00. The tenth little piggy went to the math department and asked for a special permission number, so that way the dean could put him into a closed out section of his Calc II class, they gave him a sheet of paper with the instruction to apply for a special permission number; he went online to apply, where it told him he needed a prerequisite override, not a special permission number. NJ Transit has some critical information to pass on, I thought I'd share it. The trains were down last Friday, I got a ride in with a civil engineering prof. who explained why they don't give partial credit to students: "Even if you get 3/4th's of the problem right, the bridge will still fall down. " You will notice how the red trace of the satellite over Earth's surface extends off the globe into the mysterious black area, and, in fact, often leaves or enters Earth's space nowhere near the poles. At those points we see the satellite skipping out of normal space and warping over to the next spot. As cool as that might be, I think the real explanation of this is much more rational. If you look at Yoni's site on satellite tracking, you'll see that the orbital paths of polar-orbiting satellites look roughly like the red line in the Doctrine. The problem is the map projection. They should have used something like the Mercator or the geographic projection, but instead used some sort of pseudocylidrical projection thing. Thus, overlaying an actual satellite track on top of a random clip art of the Earth led to a highly suspect and non-accurate picture. In any case, we can rest assured that although physics has yet to allow for a warp drive, the military's graphic artists are boldly leading the way into the future. Beware of what plants you grow, because for all you know you might wake up in the middle of the night, and get eaten by your lovely innocent looking houseplant. It almost happened to me, here is my story. Once upon a time in the happy kingdom of La La Land… Wait wrong story let me try again. It was a dark and stormy night (ah here we are). Thunder pealed in the distance like the footsteps of giants. I walked unaware down the stairs into the clutches of the evil QUADIPLANTAPUS!!! My mothers lovely dieffenbachia had shed its fake docile nature and unleashed the killer inside. Its long twisting trunks groping, its eyestalks looked for new victims, and me, AKA: Recipe for disaster. Unbeknownst to me, it had spotted me, and I was blissfully unaware of the danger lurking in my living room, stalking me. Then it pounced and I was trapped. It had me around my chest and waist, and when I tried to beat it into submission it got my hand into its gaping maw. I was lucky that night because I happened to have a can of evil plant repellent in my utility belt, and a machine gun in my bedroom. After I killed it, I looked around my other plants and discovered three separate plans to assassinate me, and what appeared to be a folder full of US nuclear secrets. I have had them tried and executed so I am now safe again, but when plants eat your dog, cat, fish, or little brother don't say I didn't warn you. While most students were relaxing, taking a break, Wildman and Lansey were working in nasty conditions. While their collegues were off . . . getting a tan . . partying . . . I just want to clarify a few things. Due to the non-mathy nature of the work, I was taking a massive break, also I got a tan and think: due to the nature of Chabad . . . If you read my little note in the photo, you will see that I have personally looted that record from the below location. It is by Jesse Hill, titled: Ooh Poo Pah Doo Part I from Minit records based in New Orleans. You can listen to it here, or read about it here. The convertable is sitting in the foundation of what was a house. What does "cakic" mean? What about "kejudcy,""zaqwi" or "qudif?". The truth is, I highly doubt these are words, although they do sound like words that might show up in Balderdash. But I didn't make them up, Blogger did. You know those annoying little word verification things (like the one you get when you, cough cough, comment on this blog)? Well, in case you are highly bored and like reading random strings of letters in the hope that one of them might be an intelligable message, you only need to follow this link: http://www.blogger.com/captcha. And then click refresh to your bored heart's content. Think of all the monkeys you are saving from typewriter button-pushing monotony! And the reason for this very short post. Out of my mind. Back in one week. I just spent a week cleaning out houses in New Orleans. It was fun. My foot fell into a festering hole of katrina soup and tonight we made a bonfire. by the way- its pronounced new aulins like audobon society. this has been me- reporting from New Orleans. It is T + 33.5eiπ hours to my complex variables final. Hence this very short post. To make up for the fact that last week I morphed into a small brown tuber very high in starches (Couchis Potatoist), I am now going to tell you something that might actually be educational (not certified by the Board of What's Educational or Not of The USA, Subcommittee MOR Mantelcommittee ONIC, as containing anything which in any way possibly cause the slowing down of the rotting of your brain). While driving around in an undisclosed location (Parking lot #BLUE 35 blue 35 hut hut hike) I was watching a seagull (specimen #987,384,244.275) flying around and I noticed that the color of the top of its wings where an almost total black while the bottom of the wing where white. This is evidence of the natural selection by survival of the fittest process forced into a blender than consumed by a human and well you can guess where it goes after that. I say this because the evil lamppost monsters ate the ancient seagulls of parking lots until only the ones that camouflaged on both the top and the bottom where able to survive and reproduce. This is how humans destroyed the natural process of selection. Because of this I feel that we must come up with a new theory, (which is mine, which is to say it belongs to me, such that I came up with it, natural selection is thin at one end thick in the middle and thin at the other end) which I will call THE PROCESS OF UNNATURAL SELECTION BY HAVING FUN WITH A MICROWAVE, TOASTER OR OTHER KITCHEN APPLIANCE. And of course I have to wish my parents a very happy anniversary. Remember, these are actual searches people did, I am not making this up. --First you find some soft ground . . . if a pendulum is oscillating slowly what should we do?

Please remember that the blog train does not go live until November 1, so the actual freebie on the blog may not yet be posted. Thank you, Sheila, for the beautiful kit.Keeping your mom in my prayers...because moms are precious and should be everlasting, right? Wow, everything looks so good and we are just getting started!!! Thank you very much to all the designers for sharing their gorgeous kits. So many pretty things again this month, everyone! I got stuck (as I noted when I posted my portions). I REALLY admire those of you who are able to stick with the theme and the palette without going off on a tangent. I get these "inspirations" and they sort of just take over, and this month I ended up painting myself into a corner and couldn't escape. LOL! Oh well...I'm getting nice comments on my blog and in emails from my subscribers, so it looks like what I ended up with will be useful to people. That's my ultimate goal anyway...so I'm happy. I have to admit that I wasn't really excited about this month's color scheme but ALL the designers have done an AMAZING job with it and now I'm really looking forward to creating some beautiful pages with their wonderful work. Erin Crouch and Holly Wolf - I always love your contributions and would LOVE to have them but Google hates me and I have never been able to download any of your lovely designs! Isn't there any other way for you to offer them? PLEASE??? Patricia, you're clicking the Download button in the top middle once you get there, the one that looks like an arrow pointing down at a line? That should either give you the download directly if it's under 20MB or give you a message saying it's too big for them to virus scan and another button that says Download Anyway. I'll upload it somewhere else and drop you a note with a link through your contact form. Thanks Holly - that would be great! Thanks everyone for another fabulous blog train. I love autumn-themed kits and everyone's stuff is just, well, awesome! And thank you so much for generously sharing your time and creativity in these freebies; I'd comment on specific bits that especially caught my fancy, but last time I did that I didn't have my glasses on and mis-identified an element, lol, and ended up feeling pretty sheepish! So I'll simply leave it at kudos to everyone on all the amazing creations. Thanks Erin - I have my computer guy trying to figure out why I can't d/l from google so maybe he will figure it out. Erin, does your blog allow you to upload zip files at all? I broke mine down into 20MB portions, stuck them on my blog server temporarily, and have emailed Patricia the links. Otherwise, less-annoying places than Mediafire for uploading...I'd suggest either box.com or Copy.com, as both present a pretty straightforward download without all the ads that Mediafire and 4shared display. A free account on either will give you 10 or 15 GB of storage--a couple of years worth of blog trains, at least, even on my most productive months. As far as downloading, Mediafire with Ad Block Plus running in my browser is pretty straightforward--pop in, hit the big green button, click save, and close the tab. But...it's not me that's having issues downloading the files. Patricia, does one of those work better than the other for you? Holly, I appreciate all your help. It was indeed a problem with my computer (some setting or other) which my nephew fixed so I should be good with google from now on! You are the best, girl!!!! A great big thanks and hugs to everyone who participated in the blog train. I loved it all. I tried to give thanks to each individual when I was sent to your blog to download but I know I missed some because I couldn't figure out how to make it work--I'm NOT good when it comes to computers! Anyway thanks to all of you! P.S. I had trouble with Trudette De Jongh's download. When I hit the "here" buttong to go to the blog, it took me back to the beginning of the Thankful Harvest participant list. Has anyone else had trouble with this or is it just me? I hope it works fine now . BEAUTIFUL WORK from all the designers. Thank you for the generosity of all! You are wonderful. I had so much fun participating in the Blog Train, thanks so much everyone for helping me out on my first designing experience. Beautiful work ladies! I love all of the pieces and I'm sure here with the upcoming holiday that I should be able to put many of them to good use. I just have to organize everything first and undo all of those zip files. I got part way in and got quite a shock by the amount of submissions this month. All of the hard work is greatly appreciated! Great work everyone! thank you for sharing! What a cornucopia of treasures! This was truly a harvest for which I am thankful.

Following their performance of Zaïs earlier this year, the Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment and Les Plaisirs de Nations joined forces once again for the Rameau Project – for the actes de ballet Pigmalion and what I believe was the Anacréon that formed the third part of his original Les Surprises d’Amour, both written in 1748. And under the watchful baton of Jonathan Williams, it once again provided an evening of some superb musicianship and some elegant dance. Personally, the star of the evening was the returning Anna Dennis. L’Amour in Pigmalion, she took centre stage as Chloé in the post interval performance of Anacréon. Ms Dennis possesses a bright and flexible soprano – there is a crystalline quality to it that is perfectly suited to this music, as well as an uninterrupted sheen and fluidity throughout her range which made her performance ravishing. Additionally there was a flexibility to her voice that not only enables her to negotiate the more florid passages but also to highlight the delicate nuances in Rameau’s vocal lines. And indeed it was the women who mostly impressed during the evening. Katherine Manley – as the statue – injected a real sense of simplicity – almost naivety – to her performance and all credit for her beautifully choreographed and graceful interaction with the dancers. And in her short appearance as Céphise, Susanna Hurrell also made a positive impression. Matthew Brook’s Anacréon was the most convincing of Rameau’s gentlemen. He molded his robust and warm baritone around Rameau’s vocal lines and brought out the wit in his elegant performance. I did not warm to the Pigmalion of Daniel Auchinloss. Not only was there a lack of projection but also – in common with Augustin Prunell-Friend’s Batile to a lesser extent – there wasn’t the necessary lightness or flexibility to his voice which Rameau’s music demands – especially for the magnificent Regne Amour. However for the most part, the diction of both the singers – and the Choir of the Enlightenment – was very good. And while I am no expert when it comes to dance but as before in Zaïs, Les Plaisirs des Nations combined graceful choreography with effortless grace and when required, humour. After some indecisive playing at the beginning of Pigmalion, the Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment performed with their trademark verve and spirit. Jonathan Williams was every alert to the shifting rhythms and colours that abound in Rameau’s music and the players in the orchestra responded accordingly. I hope that The Rameau Project continues to bring Rameau’s shorter works to the stage, supporting what I hope is a wider renaissance of his larger operas. Zaïs (Jeremy Budd), Zélidie (Louise Alder), Cindor (Ashley Riches), Amour (Katherine Watson), Oromazès (David Stout), La grande Prêtresse (Katherine Manley), Une Sylphide (Anna Dennis) & Un Sylph (Gwilym Bowen). Last week I attended two concerts containing music written within roughly a decade or so of each other that couldn’t have been more different but of equal and incredible musical stature. The first was Rameau’s Pastorale héroïque, Zais and the second was a musical biography of arias written for the famous castatro, Carlo Maria Michelangelo Nicola Broschi better known as Farinelli. Both composer and singer are gaining in popular currency in terms of performance – for example at both ENO and Glyndebourne and recordings ranging from the exquisite recital discs of David Hansen, Philippe Jaroussky and Sabine Devieilhe. Rameau changed forever the direction of French opera and Farinelli inspired some of the most beautiful and audacious arias of his century. Rameau’s operas are exceptional not only for the sheer delight of their musical invention and dramatic scale but also because of the intellectual dimension to his operas. Rameau wrote his first opera Hippolyte et Aricie in 1733 and it literally shook the musical establishment. Zaïs followed fifteen years later in 1748 and between he rewrote Hippolyte as well as composing Castor et Pollux and Dardanus. For anyone interested in his works, I would heartily recommend Charles Dill’s book Monstrous Opera: Rameau and the tragic tradition – which proposed as theory as to why Rameau rewrote – in some cases – substantial parts of his operas. It’s simply brilliant that Jonathan Williams, Edith Lalonger and other colleages are leading the charge with The Rameau Project, using research and theory and performances to attain a better understanding of the composer and his works. At the Queen Elizabeth Hall, the orchestra and chorus were placed at the back of the stage, with the front part left tantalizing empty for the dancers. The depiction of Chaos at the beginning and the creation of the world by Oromazès immediately sets this opera beyond the merely pastoral and in many ways it pre-empts Die Zauberflöte with its own masonic connections so much so that it will be interesting to see if the Rameau Project reveals any connections between the composer and an organization that was very active in Eighteenth Century France. As with much Rameau there were moments of incredible beauty and poignancy throughout. Anna Dennis as une Sylphide was one of the highlights of the evening and it was a shame that we heard so little of her. Her opening number, Chantez les oiseaux was beautifully sung, with great control and elegance. Her voice, even throughout its range, had a bright ringing top and I am looking forward to hearing her on Handel’s Siroe which is released soon. Of the two main characters, Louise Alder’s Zelidie was similarly impressive. With her bell-like soprano she displayed an instinctive sense for Rameau’s vocal line and Coulez mes pleurs – with its haunting flute – was the highlight of the evening. I was not as convinced with Jeremy Budd’s hero. Notwithstanding his constant use of a vocal score, I didn’t think that his voice was well-suited to Rameau’s music. Granted the notes were all there and sung, but I didn’t feel that there was enough nuance or colour in his singing. Both Katherines – Watson and Manley – however were also magnificent. Katherine Watson delivered just the right sense of arrogant bearing in her performance and together with Ms Alder, Katherine Manley added to the dramatic scale of the trio and chorus calling on Amour to descend from Heaven in the First Act. Of the remaining men, Cindor, was mellifluously sung by Ashley Riches and his confidently held the stage during his temptation scene. I also think that Gwilym Bowen could be a name to watch out for in future French baroque performances. I have some strong opinions about the use of dance in opera – especially when it serves no purpose– but here Les Plaisir des Nations delivered not only some graceful and exquisite dancing, but dancing that was central to the development of the plot. Rather than stopping the unfolding action, Edith Lalonger’s thoughtful and elegant choreography added extra depth to the emotions being portrayed by the singers. There were moments of uncertainty and rhythmic untidiness in the orchestra – perhaps but the Enlightenment chorus was impressive performing with both clear diction and rhythmic finesse. If there was one small distraction, it was the fact that the singers did resort to using scores when in the ‘performance’ area of the stage. While some of the singers actively engaged with the dancers, carrying around the music meant the others – in particular Budden’s Zaïs – was further dramatically hampered. As a great innovator and experimenter, I think that Rameau would have approved of the ambitions of this performance and I look forward to seeing Pigmalion and Anacréon this October. If France was hermetically sealed in its highly-mannered Baroque summer in 1748 the rest of Europe was galloping towards the Classical era. And this was demonstrated by an excellent evening at Wigmore Hall with Ann Hallenberg and Les Talents Lyriques under Christophe Rousset. If Ms Hallenberg was indeed suffering from a cold – as Twitter claimed – then it was hardly noticeable except in the occasional shying away from greater ornamentation in the returning da capos. But from the start she established her vocal credentials and musical intelligence. Not surprisingly, the recital started with two arias by his own brother, Riccardo. Son qual nave ch’agitata was written for Hasse’s Artaserse in London. Full of coloratura passages as well as vocal leaps and bounds it is impressive but rather outstays its welcome. Ombra fedele anch’io – made famous in the film – is once again well written without being exceptional. You do have to wonder if Riccardo didn’t somewhat hang off the coat tails of his brother. Yet Ms Hallenberg performed these arias with incredible aplomb and bestowed on them performances that lifted their own lacklustre creativity. Geminiano Giacomelli – who features on Joyce DiDonato’s Drama Queens recital disc – was one of the most famous composers of his generation. From Adriano in Siria, both arias demonstrated that the composer was at least fluent in the art vocal writing. In Già presso al termine the mezzo again skillfully negotiated the coloratura, while Passagier che incento was also scored with a concertante part for the principle violinist and was delightfully performed here. Farinelli’s teacher Porpora was represented by Se pietoso il tuo labbro (Semiramide riconosciuto) and Alto Giove from Polifemo. Whlie there is no disputing the elegance of the former aria, surely Alto Giove must rank as one of the most beautiful arias of this age. If in the first aria Ms Hallenberg spun out the vocal line and the delicate embellishments with an incredibly light touch, her performance of the latter was simply ravishing. All too often this aria can been taken a tad too quickly but on this evening Rousset gave the music time to breathe and pulse, filling the entire hall. And Ms Hallenberg was simply radiant. Her voice caressed the music, seamlessly from phrase to phrase with just the right balance of embellishment. Rightly recognized by the audience, it was the highlight of the evening. The final two arias in the recital were from Catone in Utica by Leonardo Leo. With a slightly more baroque bent, Che legge spietata was smartly constructed with a single-minded opening that was contrasted with more legato sections. On the other hand, Cervo in bosco was an impressive simile aria – with gentler middle section – with rowdy horns and weighty coloratura, magnificently thrown off by Ms Hallenberg. During the recital itself, Les Talent Lyriques also performed JC Bach’s Symphony in g minor from his Opus 6 and the overture to Cleofide. I must be honest that live I wasn’t too impressed with the Bach. Having listened to it again on iPlayer I have to admit it wasn’t as disappointing as I first thought. However compared to the Hasse it didn’t have any sense of the weight or grandeur that is much needed in JC’s symphonies and overtures. The overture to Cleofide was another matter altogether – confident, bright and simply more alive. Her encore was Handel’s Sta’ nell’ircana from Alcina. Technically I don’t think that Farinelli ever sang for Handel in London but rather for Popora’s rival company but it was a performance of such vocal bravura and bravado that it made a fitting end to an incredible evening. I hope that Ms Hallenberg return to London more often in future. She has a rare and exceptional talent and the audience loved her.

The scenery benefits of a home can be greatly enhanced by a well structured and designed landscaping system. However, planting the right types of plants do not only affect its visuals and aesthetics. The right type of landscaping can have a great influential effect on its overall value. Also, the residents of the home are not the only people that will benefit from the plants of a garden. By planting the right choice of plants and trees, the entire neighborhood will benefit from the additions, as the plants are a display of a natural beauty decorative which enhances the entire community. When deciding on what types of plants to grow inside a garden, it is important to ensure that the proper maintenance routines are implemented in their developing stages. The proper care and maintenance will make all the difference in the plants' quality, development, and overall health. Disregarding certain aspects of care for plants can result in their damage and rotting of the environment. Therefore, it is important to ensure that the individual(s) that are responsible for tending to the plants have the proper knowledge and tools for the best maintenance. Some common plants that can add a great sense and depth of value and beauty are perennials, ferns, trees, shrubs, and pond plants. Although there are thousands of other types of plants and grasses that can be planted in a garden, depending on the climatic conditions, these are some of the most common. Perennials are plants that have grown for at least two years without any developments of wood or bark among itself. Perennials that are grown in the forms of flowering plants are usually seasonal, in which they grow in certain seasons and die in others while continuing the cycle every year. Ferns are a type of plant that belongs to a group which consists of approximately 12,000 species. These plants usually require less maintenance and can grow in many different types of soil. There are also advantages to growing shrubs and pond plants in a gardening landscape. Shrubs can provide a numerous amount of benefits, from providing privacy to adding depth to the home's aesthetic appeal. They can be lined along the hedges of pathways and windows to provide as a guiding tool. Pond plants can be planted near natural water sources to provide shade and shelter for some of the garden's creatures. It is important to ensure that the aquatic plants' values are appreciated, as it is a home for certain creatures that keep destructive pests away. Sometimes it is overwhelming to decide which plants will grow best in a certain climate zone. That is why there are some very particular grab bags that are available for purchase from some fabulous online plant nurseries. These create and assembles based on climate zones where the plants are ordered for and will grow to be outstanding and beautiful in gardens or containers or other locations where they are planted. There are Berry Plants, Ferns, Perennial and Garden Moss grab bags available, and they will be full of fabulous plants. These plants will also come with all the instructions needed to make sure they grow to be healthy and will have information on lighting and also on what soil conditions each plant will like. The Berry Plants grab bag will have five beautiful plants; Fern and Perennials will offer ten gorgeous plants, and the Moss will have enough to cover 5 square feet. These are an excellent choice for homeowners that are not sure which plants to order and will all create stunning and beautiful gardens and areas. It is an excellent way to get the gardens started and to also plant those excellent berry bushes that will give lots of delicious berries to enjoy when they are mature. These plants are great and will not usually require a lot of care and maintenance to get them to grow. They will add lots of bright and stunning colors as the perennials began to grow and bloom. Create a very naturally looking settings in a garden or natural area and not be stressed about picking certain plants.

The swine flu pandemic of 2009 was one of the worst flu scares in recent memory, even if its actual effects ended up being relatively moderate. Now something unambiguously good could come of all this: a universal flu vaccine. As many as sixty million people were infected with the H1N1 virus, although only about 18,000 people are known to have died from the disease. What researchers are now discovering is what swine flu leaves behind: a superpowered immune system with antibodies that can kill off any new flu virus, not just a return of H1N1. Recent research on nine swine flu survivors revealed that the infection had caused all their immune systems to go into overdrive, creating a huge range of flu antibodies that aren't needed to fight off swine flu but would be very useful if any number of other flu strains tried to invade the subjects' bodies. More common flu strains like the seasonal flu or the very mild flu virus used to create the flu vaccine don't activate this many antibodies, suggesting there's something unusual about H1N1 that triggers this powerful immune response. The power of the H1N1 immune response is extraordinary. According to the researchers, five of the types of antibodies isolated in their research would be enough to fight off all seasonal flu variations, the Spanish flu virus that killed as many as 50 million people in the pandemic of 1918, and a potentially deadly bird flu strain known as H5N1. The researchers say the uniqueness of the swine flu is what triggered this response. The immune system didn't immediately know what to do with the virus, so it started creating lots of different antibodies based on its memory of other flu viruses it had previously encountered. By the time the immune system found the right antibodies to fight off the swine flu, enough had been created to ward off all other influenza variants as well. We don't know yet whether the H1N1 vaccine also transferred these super immunity properties, although that's next on the researchers' to-do list. "Many scientists are working to develop a vaccine that would protect against the many strains of flu virus. This work gives us more confidence that it will be possible to generate a universal flu vaccine. It will take at least five years before anything like this could be widely available." Five years is a long time to wait, but considering that as many as 500,000 people die every year from various flu strains, it seems like a universal vaccine is very much worth waiting for.

Is There a Difference Between Tim Thomas Boycotting the White House in 2012 and Braden Holtby Doing the Same in 2019? Tim Thomas’ 2011 season is arguably the best single-season by a goalie in hockey history: he won the Vezina Trophy for season’s best goalie, the Conn Smythe for playoffs MVP, and back-stopped the Boston Bruins to a Stanley Cup victory. Whether it was during the regular season or the Stanley Cup Playoffs, Tim Thomas was practically unbeatable in net. Yet, in a season where Thomas could almost do no wrong, it was his actions after the season that drew the most ire. Thomas decided that he was not going to go with the rest of the Bruins to the White House, and instead skip the ceremonial visit and a chance to meet with then President Barack Obama. Thomas was excoriated by the Boston sports media and the sports world at large for boycotting. Now in 2019, Braden Holtby, goalie for the 2018 Stanley Cup Champion Washington Capitals, is planning on skipping his team’s White House visit due to the policies of Donald Trump. While the reasons for bypassing the White House drastically differ between Thomas and Holtby, there is no difference in the final act and there should be no difference how you react; if you praised Thomas and are bashing Holtby, you are a hypocrite… and if you are applauding what Holtby is doing while you castigated Thomas… you are a hypocrite. Most probably look at the two scenarios and think there are differences. Sure. Some. For Holtby, he believes he had to “stay true to his values.” He went further in the hopes of clarifying; “My family and myself, we believe in a world where humans are treated with respect regardless of your stature, what you’re born into. … You’re asked to choose what side you’re on, and I think it’s pretty clear what side I’m on.” Holtby is an active supporter of LGBT rights and clearly does not approve of the policies of Donald Trump and his administration. Holtby clearly disagrees with the policies of the current president and his administration, displaying his disapproval by not going to the White House. Thomas was against essentially everyone and everything; clearly angry over what he believed were the excesses of Big Government (maybe he was onto something–at least fiscally). Although Holtby is Canadian, he and Thomas were both engaging in one of the most American things one can do; voicing displeasure with the government and finding a peaceful avenue through which to protest. Maybe you agree with Holtby. Or maybe you agree with Thomas. Hell, maybe you think they both are right. Either way, they are both well within their rights to take an RSVP from the White House and toss them right in the trash. If this was a barrel of tea and they threw it into some water in Boston, it could not be more of an American move. However, there are going to be people who applaud the move by Holtby, yet denigrated Thomas’. The vast majority of the articles written in the wake of Thomas’ refusal to go to the White House chastised him for what they deemed was a selfish move. Now those same outlets see no issue with what Holbty is doing. Same scenario, same position, completely different reactions, and editorials. The difference in how the two stories have been handled is striking in its simplicity. For Tim Thomas, it was all editorials. Not only were journalists relaying Thomas’ refusal to visit the White House, but they were penning editorials condemning him for his actions. The response to Holtby’s decision is more refreshing; thus far, all the coverage has been straightforward (“here are the facts of the matter, here are some quotes from the goalie, publish the article”). It could very well be because refusing to go to the White House is more commonplace in 2019. Maybe Americans are more attuned to protests against the President in our current climate. Trump withdrew an invitation to the Golden State Warriors after they made it clear they would not make the trip the White House. A portion of the Philadelphia Eagles were ready to head to Washington before the White House decided it was all or nothing. However, back in 2012, a player boycotting the ceremonial visit was something new. And Tim Thomas was treated like persona non grata for not going. Now seven years later, under a different administration, and a boycott of the White House is either met with straightforward reporting, or the editorials are laudatory. What Holtby is doing is 100% the right thing to do. He believes the current President’s values and agenda are at odds with his own, therefore Holtby is exercising his 1st Amendment right and protesting. Thomas in 2012 disagreed with the values of not just President Obama, but of both political parties and engaged in his 1st Amendment right to protest. The only difference is one goalie did it from one side of the aisle, and the other is doing from the other side. When juxtaposed, there is no difference in the acts of each goalie, but people are going to react differently and reveal their own biases. In doing so, they will also unveil how true they are to their own principles. Is one goalie’s protest more worthy of their praise than the other even if the situations around them are the same? Standing up for what you believe in takes courage. To try and live a life according to a set of principle’s and to not shy away from those principles is no easy task. Especially when you know it is going to create some controversy and you might be the recipient of serious backlash. But sometimes life pushes you into corners and asks you the gravest of questions; what are you going to do when you feel your values are under attack? Will you be brave enough to stick to those values and fight against those that challenge them? That is one of the most important questions in life, and how you answer and respond makes you who you are. Braden Holtby and Tim Thomas know who they are. They know what they believe in, and they stand up for those principles. However, plenty has happened in the seven years since Tim Thomas did not go to Obama’s White House. Now boycotting the visit is commonplace, with entire teams refusing to go. In 2012, Thomas was belittled for his stance. Braden Holtby is getting no such treatment. Nor should he. But if you accept Holtby boycotting the White House in 2019, yet besmirched Thomas for doing so in 2012, it is not Tim Thomas’s values that need adjusting.

Untamed Heart offers moderately moving evidence of just how much a flawed screenplay can be elevated by the right cast -- and how sometimes, it still isn't quite enough. An outgoing waitress unexpectedly falls in love with a shy but extremely gentle busboy in this bittersweet romance. She soon learns that the young man is suffering from a rare heart condition, one which eventually threatens to bring their relationship to a premature end. "Sting" Team to Reunite for "Flyboys" Schmaltz that wide-eyed teen girls will love. Awful script, but Tomei, Slater, and especially Rosie Perez are magnificent. A touching meditation upon the spiritual concept of soul mates. I loved Slater in this movie, and the whole love story is pretty good for the most part, but then it changes all of a sudden, with the revelation of the whole baboon's heart thing, and it gets weird. I half liked this movie, and half hated it. "I am going to fall in love with you. You don't have to love me back. I am going to give you my heart." I saw this again after a long time. I remember the film to be a sweet film with a lot of heart. Marisa Tomei has always been a favourite of mine, in my opinion she is one of the most beautiful and talented women ever. There's just something about her that makes me wanna see her films. I don't know if it's her dark eyes, her beautiful smile or her voice... So anywho...What was I talking about? 'Untamed Heart' tells the story of a young woman who just can't find love. She falls easily in love with men but fails to keep it together. She works at a diner were a shy young man, whom she would never even laid an eye on, rescues her from two rapists. She will find out that two people, completely different, can be perfect together... I just can't help it but I love this film. Marisa Tomei is just amazing in her role and I'm not being biased here. If you compare her roles that she's made, it's clear that she tends to study her characters thoroughly. I'm sure that she is one of the most versatile actresses of her generation. Christian Slater, whom I've never liked that much, was at the peak of his career while making 'Untamed Heart'. He had starred in 'Young Guns 2', 'Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves', 'Heathers' etc and continued to star in big movies after this one. But only for a while... But his performance in this movie is so emotionally appealing that I'll admit that I needed tissues. And I'm not saying that I was wiping my nose... 'Untamed Heart' is simply lovable. The story is kinda silly but it works because this film has more heart than most of the other genre movies. But like the other similar movies, 'Untamed Heart' is very surypy and it needs the viewer to have an open mind for the romance to completely work. The chemistry between the two leads works wonderfully and the dialogue that they have is one of the best parts in the movie. 'Untamed Heart' comes highly recommended to those who want to see an emotional film that does not end in a predictable way. And as a bonus, you get to see glimpses of a real hockey game featuring the late Minnesota North Stars (Dallas Stars as of today) and the Detroit Red Wings. Love and NHL hockey... That's all we need. "I wasn't finished. - Finish." UNTAMED HEART is a film that has two strong and compelling performances by the lead actors and is a film that makes you realize the joy of the human existence and especially the rapture of love. Adam: (to Adam) Don't let people stand in your way. They're just people. like you and me! Well, maybe not like you. I don't know if I have ever met anyone like you before. Caroline: [to Adam] Don't let people stand in your way. They're just people. Like you and me! Well, maybe not like you. I don't know if I have ever met anyone like you before. Caroline: (Talking about Adam) He doesn't make sense, I don't make sense, together we make sense. Caroline: [Talking about Adam] He doesn't make sense, I don't make sense, together we make sense. Caroline: You love with your mind and soul, not your heart. Adam: [Touches his chest] Then how come I hurt here when your not around.

Strictly Come Dancing star Ashley Roberts is one of the most talented contestants on this years show and even managed to score a perfect 40 last week. But as well as wowing viewers with her incredible routines, the former Pussycat Dolls star’s private life has also got fans talking after she was recently linked to professional dancer Giovanni Pernice. And following a load of romance rumours, the 37-year-old was forced to deny the speculation live on This Morning today – and it was pretty awkward. As she appeared on the daytime telly show alongside her dance partner Pasha Kovalev, host Phillip Schofield tried to squeeze in a cheeky question about her love life. The singer previously said that she had ‘gone for drinks’ with Giovanni, telling Fabulous magazine: ‘We’ve gone out for drinks. He’s a lovely guy, but we are not dating. This comes after 28-year-old Giovanni – who is currently partnered up with Faye Tozer – also awkwardly insisted he’s single after being grilled on This Morning. ‘According to the press I change girlfriend every single day,’ he said. Hmm… we’ll have to watch this space!

Britco Structures of Langley has been a prime sponsor of the Lt. Governor Steven Point’s aboriginal literacy initiative from the beginning. The company, which builds modular trailers on its property in suburban Langley, donated the first modular trailer to the Toosey Reserve near Williams Lake in 2011. Britco is now promising to get even more deeply involved in the Write to Read project. In this video clip Britco General Manager of Leasing Christoph Neufeld explains that the response to their donation of the first trailer was so overwhelming that the company has decided to continue its involvement, but to an even greater extent. Each trailer costs about $25,000 to build, and there are also transportation costs to deliver each trailer to remote locations around the province. Nonetheless, Britco has offered to build, donate and deliver many more trailers in 2012 and 2013. The first modular building was a donation from Britco to the Toosey band of the Chilcotin Nation at Riske Creek near Williams Lake. The 40’ by 12’ trailer was towed to the reserve and installed next to the new band office, where it is acting as a library. Inside the library are several new computers, equipped with high-speed broadband connections. The library, band office and kitchen now serve as a community centre for the entire Toosey band.

Tyler is an energetic kid who loves to play with Legos and Power Rangers. His favorite color is blue and he loves reading Disney’s McQueen Series. He also enjoys playing at parks and playgrounds. Tyler attends S. June Smith Center’s Inclusive Preschool. While Tyler doesn’t have any developmental needs, his parents shared with us a little bit about how the S. June Smith Center affected Tyler when his brother Max received services. “Tyler was born with no issues and did not personally need the services. But, Tyler participated with Max throughout his entire journey with the S. June Smith Center to date – from therapies to preschool!” They continued to express how beneficial it was to have the S. June Smith Center involved in both of their lives, “We enjoy the fact that Tyler and Max can attend a preschool right now during the development stages where they really rely on each other. Eventually, they may go to different schools, but they currently remain together where Tyler helps Max physically and Max helps Tyler socially!” This family-centered approach is at the core of the S. June Smith Center’s philosophy for delivering services. Family time is very important to Tyler. He loves spending time with his twin brother, Max; big sisters, Emmie and Cami; and their puppy, Macy. When you meet Jada, the first thing you will notice about her is how energetic and loving she is! It is no surprise that this energetic girl loves to run around outside, swim, dance like a ballerina and play with her friends and cousins. She also enjoys coloring and putting puzzles together. Jada has received services from the S. June Smith Center’s Birth to Three program. Michelle, Jada’s mom, shared about how the S. June Smith Center has made a significant impact on Jada’s development. “Jada received speech, occupational therapy and special instruction until she turned 3. Her clarity and number of words she spoke improved; they [interventionists from the S. June Smith Center] gave us strategies to use to help with the sensory issues to calm her down; they were a part of her initial integration into a day care setting and it was wonderful to have that support and partnering.” Michelle has been touched by the amount of caring and attention she received from staff at the S. June Smith Center and feels it was one of the best aspects of working with the S. June Smith Center. “The personal attention my daughter received from the therapists. They kept me abreast on her problems, advances, etc. Each therapist brought specific knowledge to the table to help my daughter.” Jada is a sweet little girl who loves the color pink and playing with her stuffed kitty. Her favorite book is Llama Llama Nighty Night.

SHANGHAI/DALIAN, China — China’s Lunar New Year holidays through Sunday saw single-digit consumption growth for the first time on record, as an economic slump dampened one of the year’s biggest shopping seasons. Many people head to home provinces or go on vacations over the Lunar New Year and October’s National Day holidays, making them profitable seasons for sectors such as retail. But headwinds like the U.S. trade war are battering the Chinese economy, sending stock prices lower and contributing to a slowdown in the real estate market. These factors have reduced people’s sense of wealth. In heavily industrial areas like Guangdong Province, increasing numbers of businesses are cutting payrolls, a further blow to consumer sentiment. Customers were sparse at one Shanghai shopping center Saturday afternoon, with a number of visitors apparently sticking to window shopping at the facility’s many brand-name stores. Online shopping continued to drive overall consumption, with online retailer JD.com‘s transaction value during the holiday growing about 42% year on year, but sales at department stores and shopping centers slumped, dragging down overall figures. A record 7 million Chinese appear to have traveled overseas over the holiday, however. Though their spending abroad was outside the scope of the Commerce Ministry’s report, such travelers appear to be moving on from the big purchases that they had become known for in recent years. They increasingly appear to be shifting from shopping to sightseeing. Still, Chinese tourists’ overseas consumption “will not fall drastically,” said Xu Xiangdong at China Market Research & Consulting. Xu predicted an increase in travelers from China’s regional cities, where disposable incomes are relatively high and the cost of living lower than in major metropolises. But a resurgence of the shopping sprees of the past is unlikely, Xu said. “Businesses ought to cater to the diversifying needs of the Chinese consumer,” he said. section 🙂 I deal with such info a lot. I was seeking this particular info for a long time.

Don’t feel too much pressure about gift-giving. At this age, they might find the packaging just as exciting as the actual gift. Also, they’ll never remember this. Let’s get this tea party started! Toddlers will be pouring many a cup of fine tea – accompanied by a satisfying sound that happens when you tip the teapot. Mmmmmm. That air is…so delicious. Shape-sorters are a must at this age, but this one’s unique in that it doesn’t take up quite as much room (parents will thank you). Also it manages to pack in some snazzy sensory activities. For budding musicians there’s no better bet than (drumroll please…) this toy drum set, complete with slide whistle, castanets and tambourines. Tambourines! Bonus: no batteries are required, which means parents won’t be holding their ears and desperately searching for an off switch. Toddler-friendly whack-a-mole?! Heck yes. Grab a mallet and guess which peg will pop up next. Parents will appreciate that the pegs are attached and can’t get lost. Everybody wins! Since they’re always grabbing for mom and dad’s phone anyway, isn’t it about time they got one of their own? Best part is that this one teaches counting and songs and lets them push all the buttons they want without using up the data plan. This pop-up rocket ship playhouse comes with a flashlight that projects images of the galaxy onto the walls. Next best thing to a jaunt to outer space. For a fairy-tale-minded lass or lad: another pop-up play tent with peep-through windows and stars that glow in the dark. They’ll be playing happily ever after. The gift that literally keeps on giving, this trike grows with a child from 9 months to 5 years, converting from a ride-on bike to a classic tricycle once they’re ready to pedal on their own. The steel frame is sturdy and the seat is adjustable. It may seem like a simple toy, but, honestly, nothing is more entertaining for little ones than a water table. This one has funnels, wheels that spin, and boats that float. Great for sensory play on a hot summer day. Open road, baby! This fun spiral ramp for cars converts from a sit-at roadway to a stand-up skyway. Love a toy that adapts for different developmental stages. Yay! You’re 1! So start earning your keep, kiddo. This bubble lawn mower makes everyday chores way more fun, because… bubbles. It works on grass, sidewalks and driveways and makes real motor sounds. And, of course, it bears repeating: loads of bubbles. They grow so fast. First they were born, now they’re… driving? They’ll love steering and honking the horn, and parents will love the great gas mileage.

Another unique element of BYU Women’s Conference is the service projects. What’s unique about service projects? The sheer numbers of humanitarian kits, blankets/quilts, cards, and more that are completed in such a short amount of time. Every year on Thursday night, for three hours, sports fields are turned into service project areas, a veritable beehive of activity. Through the course of the conference, you can also see women doing loom hats, fleece blankets, and other “Take, Make, ‘n’ Return” projects. It used to be that the projects included international needs, but there has been a deliberate shift toward local needs — as a model to show Mormon women how endless those needs are. “Even in Utah” the needs far overwhelm the capacity of what women at BYU Women’s Conference can accomplish. I remember last year looking at a list of organizations in need of blankets and quilts. Many of them say that they have a CONSTANT need for these things. The hope is that LDS women can leave BYU Women’s Conference inspired and energized to work with their local Relief Societies to build faith, strengthen families, and provide relief in their own lives and communities. BYU Women’s Conference provides many service ideas at their Pinterest page. Thanks for sharing thoughts on the conference. I wanted to go this year but couldn’t.

NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) – The suspect behind a vicious attack against a 78-year-old woman on the subway is in custody, NYPD officials said Saturday. It happened around 3:10 a.m. on March 10 aboard a northbound 2 train as it pulled into the 238th Street / Nereid Avenue station in the Bronx. The NYPD released surveillance photos and video of the suspect Friday. The man in that heinous attack has now been identified as 36-year-old Marc Gomez of Yonkers. Police said he repeatedly punched and kicked the victim in the head and body as 2 train riders stood by and watched the crime unfold. Gomez has now been charged with second and third-degree assault and harassment. The victim was treated at the 241st Street station for cuts and swelling to her face. Authorities say the 36-year-old had been apprehended Saturday afternoon and was in custody. They did not immediately release any information on how they were able to track down suspect. Sources tell CBS2 that the 78-year-old victim is a homeless woman who did not know Gomez before the unprovoked attack. She was reportedly treated and released is now getting help from city officials, NYPD Chief of Detectives Dermot Shea wrote on Twitter. “Thank you to the worldwide community for the tremendous assistance,” Shea added.

I always said I was going to write a novel, but for many years, I never got round to it. There was always something else to do. This year, I managed to actually do it, and while I can't say that I've picked up a huge book contract, I'm still pretty proud of the book I wrote so I'm self-publishing it and selling it to bookstores myself. It's a steep learning curve to work out how to get my book printed and working out all of the details of how the physical book will look. This website is a glimpse into the physical side of printing up your own self-published books for other new authors. When you need print products for your business or event, the process starts at the graphic design stage. This is where all the aspects of your printing needs are assessed, from the fonts to be used to the very shade of colors to be applied. Whatever is created at this stage is what ends up on paper as the final product. So what should a good graphic design entail? What should be incorporated at this stage to make your print products meet your needs? The most important part of any print material is the information it carries. In today's digital printing age, it's easy for the information to get lost in the presentation. Whether it's a packaging design, a business card, a calendar, a brochure or promotional material, your print products must carry relevant information. Once your target customers get past the presentation of your print products, it's the information in it that will determine if your investment has achieved its objective. The information should also be well articulated in an easy to read and easy to find manner. The other thing you have to consider when having print products designed is brand identity. Brand identity refers to how well your products reflect on your business. Successful print products should showcase the true nature of your business, its caliber, its objectives and its stature. This way, your print products will attract the right audience and promote your business at the same time. There are several ways to ensure your print material bears your brand identity. The most important is the colors. Applying your corporate colors will easily help identify the print material with your business. Another brand design you should incorporate is the logo. A logo clearly signals to the audience who the product belongs to. Last but not least, there's presentation. After incorporating the right information and enough brand identity into your prints, graphic design should ensure that your material is well wrapped up in a presentable way. This entails using the right colors, fonts, font sizes, spacing, numbering and even margins spaces. When all this is put together, it should be touched off with the right finish which can either be glossy, matte or satin. A good presentation ensures that your final print product is attractive to look at. It also ensures that the information is easy to understand and remember. The final outlook of your print products should not just be attractive; it should be impressive as well. The graphic design stage can be said to be the 'meat' of the printing process. If the three considerations above are effected well, your end-product will serve its true purpose. Of course, a high quality print process is also needed to ensure that whatever is designed ends up on paper in the same quality standards.

This year, Kevin surprised me on my birthday with 3 sets of beautiful fresh cut flowers… They are so pretty I thought I should share! When I was a child, I was really into art. That never really changed. I always had glue, scissors, tape, makers, a ruler and paints around. I loved letting my creativity shine. It’s Valentine’s Day…. What we are doing? Working in the office together! Today, I had a big post scheduled… one that talks about Christmas and the joys of a tree!

Direct from NYC, magician Tanya Solomon pulls into town for one night of startling effects including live fish appearing from nowhere, blindfolded targeting with a knife, baffling sleight of hand, and things you never knew could be done with creamed corn. In this one-woman magic show, the astonishing and the absurd converge in a delightfully unsettling theatrical experience. You will leave feeling like a carnival has arrived in the night and turned reality upside down. Logic and laws of nature guaranteed violated! Tanya Solomon has been a cast member of Bindlestiff Family Cirkus and Coney Island Sideshows by the Seashore, and produces Force Majeure Vaudeville. She has been a professional clown, a sideshow artist, and has specialized in magic for the past several years. Phat Man Dee is a vocalist, bandleader, events producer, videographer, poet, retired sideshow marvel, music educator, and social justice agitatrix. She regularly appears with her jazz group “The Cultural District”, "The Lemington Gospel Chorale" directed by Pastor Deryck Tines, and "Social Justice Disco" a collaborative musical project with Liz Berlin. She performs live approximately 100 dates a year in nightclubs, theaters, educational facilities, private events and festivals. She was voted #1 Best Local Jazz Act in the 2018 Best of Pittsburgh City Paper Reader’s Poll! Mandee teaches voice at the We Rock Workshop, and the Afro American Music Institute. She just released her 5th CD “Songs to Fight Fascists By!” with "Social Justice Disco", a collaborative musical project with Liz Berlin, co founder of Rusted Root. This exciting, socially minded, justice driven musical collaboration features over 60 musicians, dancers, and spoken word artists. Luxury Machine are Pittsburgh based grunge/blues/soul. Reconquista is an EXPLOSIVE Americana band from Pittsburgh. Nashville vocalist/guitarist Patrick Sweany doesn’t hold back on his latest studio album, Ancient Noise. The record opens with two tracks (“Old Time Ways” and “Up & Down”) that recall the howling vocals and raw guitar work that first put Sweany on the map over a decade ago. However, getting out of his comfort zone meant reimagining a lot of the songs Sweany had penned for Ancient Noise, none more so that the third track “Country Loving.” With Hodges’ grand piano front and center, Sweany croons like a young Tom Waits about long-term relationships, the stresses, the simple pleasures, the building of memories. It’s the most vulnerable song he’s ever recorded - and it heralds a new confidence in taking risks. That confidence pushes through the rest of the record, where Sweany and the band delve deep into Allen Toussaint-style funk on “No Way No How,” the organ fueled “Get Along,” and “Cry Of Amédé,” which touches on the life of Amédé Ardoin, a brilliant, pioneering Creole musician who was brutally beaten in 1934 for accepting a hankerchief from a white woman. Other tracks recall even wider influences: “Outcast Blues” has a bluesy lurch that recalls The Stones’ Exile On Main Street; “Play Around” has an early 60s do wop feel, and album closer “Victory Lap” ends with a raving coda that would make Bob Seger proud. Ancient Noise is Patrick Sweany’s eigth full-length album, and it finds Sweany in top form, willing to push himself stylistically to great effect. The record comes out on Nine Mile Records on May 11, 2018. Their self-titled debut album is a breath of fresh air with its own unique blend of gospel- tinged R&B vocals, roots/blues-based guitar work and soul-inspired songwriting. And Southern Avenue’s upcoming release on the fabled Stax label is a testament to the young combo’s talent and vision. Southern Avenue encompasses Memphis-born, church-bred sisters Tierinii and Tikyra Jackson, respectively a soulful, charismatic singer and a subtle, powerful drummer; guitarist Ori Naftaly, an Israeli-born blues disciple who first came to America as an acclaimed solo artist; versatile jazz-inspired bassist Daniel McKee; and the band’s newest addition, keyboardist Jeremy Powell, an early alumnus of Stax’s legendary music academy. The seeds for Southern Avenue’s birth were planted when Ori Naftaly, who’d grown up in Israel with a deeply rooted passion for American blues and funk, came to Memphis in 2013 to compete in the prestigious International Blues Challenge. That experience led to Naftaly moving permanently to Memphis and successfully touring the United States with his own band. Although his talents were embraced by American audiences, Naftaly felt constrained in his own band, feeling the need to include a more expansive, collaborative musical vision. That opportunity arrived when he met Memphis native Tierinii Jackson, who’d gotten her start singing in church, before performing in a series of cover bands and theatrical projects. Despite not having a record deal, Southern Avenue quickly found success touring in America and Europe. They won additional attention playing some prestigious festivals and competing in the International Blues Challenge, in which they represented Memphis. Less than a year after the band’s formation, they were signed to the resurgent Stax label. Tierinii views Southern Avenue as “a perfect soundtrack to our first year together. We wrote these songs in our first nine months of being a band. We’d all done so many things and come from so many different places, but the music represents all of us. Released in May 2018, The Days When Peonies Prayed for the Ants acts as the soundtrack to that period of self-discovery. It's an autobiographical album, rooted in a lush mix of indie-folk, orchestral Americana, and organic pop. Starski wrote the songs during a span of a dozen years, tracing her trek from Reynoldsville, Pennsylvania — where she began playing guitar at 19 years old, before cutting her teeth as the singer of a bluesy bar band — to Knoxville, where she kicked off her solo career with pub gigs and open mic performances. The journey then winds its way to Nashville, Starski's adopted hometown since 2008. It was there, alongside producer Anne McCue and a handful of the town's top sideman, that she recorded The Days When Peonies Prayed for the Ants. Raised on a wide spread of music — the Lilith Fair-era earnestness of Tori Amos and Sarah McLachlan; the heartland rock of Tom Petty; the moody, nocturnal music of Portishead; the articulate, lyric-based writing of Aimee Mann — Ellen Starski shows her full range as a writer, vocalist, and storyteller with The Days When Peonies Prayed for the Ants. The album is a team effort, with a number of music-industry heavyweights (including drummer Paul Griffith, bassist Jimmy Sullivan, pianist Carl Byron, strings Deanie Richardson, manager Erin Anderson, and producer/guitarist/mentor McCue) all pulling their weight. Starski is the captain of this ship, though, and Peonies points her toward a genre of her own making. Featuring acoustic interpretations of some of the finest songs in his catalog, along with new, folk-inflected compositions, and notable covers, Dave Alvin found the true measure of his own voice with King of California. “It was ironic that for a guy who was known as a loud guitar player and questionable singer, his best seller was an acoustic album,” says Alvin. Included are songs written and originally recorded during the ‘80s like: “Barn Burning” from American Music (1980), “Bus Station” and “Leaving” from the Blasters’ Non Fiction (1983), “Little Honey,” written with X’s John Doe and featured on the Blasters Hard Line (1985), and the “Fourth of July,” which appeared on both X’s See How We Are (1997) and on Romeo’s Escape (1987). “Every Night About This Time” also appeared on the album. Like the records he made as a member of the Blasters, King of California features a variety of covers, including Tom Russell’s’“Blue Wing,” Dallas singer-pianist Whistlin’ Alex Moore’s “West Texas Blues,” retitled “East Texas Blues,” Memphis Slim’s classic “Mother Earth,” and “What Am I Worth,” a George Jones song, featured here as a duet with the incomparable Syd Straw. The album also includes co-writes with Rosie Flores (“Goodbye Again”) and John Doe (“Little Honey”).

The Northern Marianas police are staying tight-lipped about the possible motives for a string of crimes involving Chinese nationals. An investigation has been launched into the murder of a Chinese farmer who was found bludgeoned outside his house on the main island, Saipan on Saturday. It followed three double homicides and a series of missing persons cases involving Chinese nationals in the last five years. Our correspondent Mark Rabago said police were revealing little about the crimes but rumours had been swirling around the community for years. "It could either be a loan that wasn't paid off, it could be involving drugs, involving Chinese triads. That's probably one of the reasons nobody wants to talk, they don't want retribution from those who perpetrated this." Mark Rabago said no one had been charged for any of the crimes and the language barrier also made it difficult for police to get information from the Chinese community. Days after the Northern Marianas police chief vowed to stop burglaries in the islands, his cousin has been shot dead in a burglary in a poker parlour. A doctor is fighting for his life at a Guam hospital after being stabbed with a fishing spear by a man on Saturday at his home on Rota. The murder-suicide of a police officer and his girlfriend in the Northern Marianas is the second similar incident in two years. Relatives of two Chinese farmers murdered in the Northern Marianas have accused police of not giving priority to the case.

The update sees players collect Pacifiers to win prizes, as well as complete new quests. EA Mobile has updated The Simpsons: Tapped Out on mobile devices, introducing Maggie as a new unlockable character. Technically, this update is the third act in the game’s Winter 2015 event, but it leaves the Christmas-themed prizes and Merrymakers behind and instead focuses mainly on children-themed topics like day care. As part of this timed event, players will unlock Maggie as a new character, and can send her to complete specific tasks to earn Pacifiers, the event’s currency. Players can earn additional Pacifiers by tapping on the Bears walking around their streets, or those in their friends’ towns. This event features new quests to complete, and will see players construct new buildings including the Playdough Factory and Ayn Rand School for Tots in their towns. As players collect Pacifiers in bulk, they’ll also have the chance to receive prizes including Kearney’s Other Son, Mrs. Sinclair, the Wall E. Weasel’s building and Baby Gerald. Players have two weeks to collect Pacifiers and unlock these prizes. Finally, new themed items have been added to the game’s store for a limited time. These include a premium Slide Factory which generates Pacifiers over time, a Slide decoration (available for cash) and more. Gamers who missed out on the Stonecutter Daycare Center from a previous in-game event can also purchase this building using cash. The Simpsons: Tapped Out is available to download for free on the iTunes App Store, Google Play and the Amazon Appstore.

Twenty years ago, I taught sixth grade world geography using a textbook that had the most beautiful pictures at the beginning of each chapter. I still remember the full page photo of India, and how much I wanted to go there. It sure took a long time, but I finally made it to India! From Chittagong, it was a short flight to Kolkata. Chris and I were pleasantly surprised by how green the city is, and a slower pace than I was expecting. Our first full day, we took a Heritage Walk to see the old colonial buildings, built by the British when Calcutta was the “second city of the Empire” in the 18th and 19th centuries. I highly suggest Calcutta Walks, for their in-depth historical look at these old buildings. 15,000 colonial buildings are still present in the city, if you know where to look for them and can squint a little and imagine them in their full grandeur in the era of the Raj. Seriously, I could write whole pages on the history of these marble and sandstone buildings, but I won’t, because I know not everyone finds all that as cool as I do. We also spent a day walking along the Hooghly River: wandering through the flower market (a riot of color and smells), drinking tea out of clay cups for five rupees, walking across the Howrah Bridge, and taking the ferry back over. No visit to Kolkata would be complete without a stroll through the Victoria Memorial at sunset, made from the same marble as the Taj Mahal. On our last day we discovered the quieter side of the city, at the Mother Teresa Charity Mission house and her tomb, then spending some time in the Park Street Cemetery- one of the largest and oldest Christian cemeteries- but without a single cross, angel, or psalm in it. We rounded the day out with the National Library, a beautiful building which will look stunning after its current renovation. From Kolkata, we booked a two-day trip down to Sunderban to see the world’s largest mangrove river delta, and hopefully a Bengal tiger. The eco-camp we went to had amazing fish curry thalis for dinner, lovely hosts, and a most relaxing day on the boat. We did not get to see the elusive tigers, although we were pleased to see an otter on land, a rare sighting- as well as various birds, a few crocodile, and some spotted deer. Having difficulty with the India Rail system, we gave up and booked a flight to our next destination, Varanasi (of course ten minutes later we found a rail booking agency). After a flight of only 90 minutes, we were there. Varanasi is one of the oldest cities in the world, with continuous human settlement for over three thousand years. Thousands of Hindus bathe in the holy waters of the Ganges every day, washing away their sins. They consider it auspicious to die there and have their bodies cremated- it is said to send their soul to nirvana, thus breaking the cycle of reincarnation. Every day between 300-400 bodies are burned on the ghats along the river. In Varanasi, we attended the nightly Ganga Aarti, a river-worshipping ceremony. It was quite a spectacle, both for the show and for the goings-on in the crowd. Hawkers, beggars, tea sellers, naked ascetics offering blessings; all kinds of activities going on as we sat, waiting for it to begin just after sunset. The next morning we went on a sunrise boat tour, watching the Hindu pilgrims emerge from the alleyways of the city and descend the steps of the 88 ghats, bathe in the river and give their devotional pujas. Although I would imagine that it’s not the most sanitary thing in the world, it was interesting to watch a practice that has continued unbroken for not just centuries, but millennia. And so now we are on an overnight train, heading for Delhi and the Golden Triangle area to see some palaces, tombs, and forts. Got suggestions for what we “must see” in the next few days? Leave a comment below. Like you, I taught world geography, but in the second year asked it I could stat with Africa and was asked how much time I might have. It was three weeks, so six weeks later I left the continent reluctantly. Before I learned to read I had a large picture book that included two Japanese children standing on a moon bridge in full native dress; thus began my life of travels with Tokyo. Your India is beginning to sound enticing! The other photo from that textbook that I remember so, so clearly was a shot of Lalibela in Ethiopia, which I visited on Christmas Day a few years ago. Nice! Informative. Trond, your travel companion for a day in Bagerhat to Khulna, Bangladesh. Deah, nice to see you and Chris in India. Am here in Chennai for the holiday break. Enjoy your stay here! We will be there In two weeks! How long are you there?

When the movie “The Matrix” was released in 1999, few could imagine just how ubiquitous it would become in our society with its groundbreaking filmmaking techniques and deeply philosophical meanings.Today, “take the red pill” is a phrase almost everyone seems to know the meaning of as the film continues to stand the test of time nearly 2 decades after its release. And most impressively of all, despite being nearly 20 years old, the masterpiece still remains relevant in this age of advanced robotics and emerging artificial intelligence, provoking deep questions about what it means to be self-aware human beings. One of the most popular scenes in the film is when Morpheus, played by Laurence Fishburne, attempts to explain to Neo (Keanu Reeves) what exactly the Matrix is. Having only recently been unplugged from the computer simulation that keeps the human stock pacified while robots feed off their energy, Neo is receiving a crash course in reality, exemplified by the moment he sees a beautiful woman in a red dress walking by him, which completely distracts him from Morpheus’ teachings. Neo falters, and Morpheus asks him to look again. The scene itself is rich with layers of symbolism and deeper meaning—all of which have direct parallels to the modern “matrix” of society we live in. But before you can understand what the scene represents, you need to know what Morpheus and Neo symbolize. “Morpheus, in ancient Greek mythology, is a messenger of the gods that enters the dreams of mortals to share esoteric knowledge and hidden messages with human beings. He can take on any form, but his mission and message remains the same. “Thus, he can be called a messenger of Truth, particularly as it pertains to the character in the Matrix. “Neo in ancient Greek (νέος) means new/young one. Morpheus is a messenger of truth, reminiscent of the many figures throughout history who’ve come along to tell us the ultimate nature of reality beyond the shallow limitations of everyday life—Christ, Buddha, you name them—figures who seem to be enlightened ahead of their time, misunderstood so deeply by so many that their words are interpreted as heresy. Neo, by extension, represents our spiritually-infant selves, still blind, still distracted, still grasping for footing in a world that—much like the woman in the red dress—is constantly capturing our attention. “Morpheus is explaining the Truth to Neo about the Matrix, but then he gets distracted by the attractive Woman in the Red Dress. “What she represents is simply a distraction that interrupts our connection with hearing the deeper message of Truth. This has nothing to do with her gender, she is simply a mindless product of the system, and has been created for the purpose of distraction. From Madison Avenue to celebrity worship to racial division….The Matrix is an illusory system of control that maintains its dominance through divide and conquer—through a constant reminder of how different and separated you are from others, be it along the lines of race, wealth, politics, or your favorite football team. Is this the ultimate meaning of the famous scene? It could be, though it’s very possible you have a unique interpretation, which is one of the most fascinating aspects of this movie.

Business analyst creates value as a solution(s) that improves the business system. As a rule the process of business analysis starts from the stakeholder`s requirements detection. In this case the reasons that cause the needs of business system improvements are out the focus of business analyst thinking. In business system analysis we use the evolutionary approach. This approach allows to understand the reasons that leads to the needs of business system improvements as well as to estimate the quality of designed solutions.

Over the past 40 years, more than 30 major blackouts worldwide were related to voltage instability and collapse. Among them, at least 13 voltage-related blackouts happened in the United States, including two major blackouts in the Western Interconnection in 1996 and a wide-scale blackout in the Eastern Interconnection in 2003. Several times, the blackout investigation teams indicated the need for on-line power flow and stability tools and indicators for voltage performance system-wide in a real-time. These recommendations are not yet completely met by the majority of U.S. power system control centers. The gap between the core power system voltage and reliability assessment needs and the actual availability and use of the voltage security analysis tools was a motivation to come forward with this project. The project's aim was to develop state-of-the-art methodologies, prototypes, and technical specifications for the Real-Time Voltage Security Assessment (RTVSA) tools. These specifications can be later used by selected vendors to develop industrial-grade applications for California ISO, other California Control Area Operators, and utilities in California.

In June 2018, experts of the EU-funded project FrailSafe - in which AGE is involved - met 16 physiotherapists of the University Hospital in Graz (Austria) at the neurological department to discuss frailty, its effects on older persons and how it impacts treatment outcomes during and after a hospital stay. After a general introduction and discussion on what frailty is, how it can be described, what the motor symptoms are that physiotherapists observe in their daily practice and how it influences recovery after a neurologic event and its connected hospital admission, a more specific discussion of the EU FrailSafe solution followed. The role of technology in monitoring health conditions such as frailty and the involved devices were explored. The participants, who had not been working with this kind of new technology in cooperation with other disciplines and their patients before, showed interest in understanding how it works. They identified potential added value in early detection of some symptoms and its development. Read FrailSafe July newsletter and get updated on the project latest developments.

Two pediatric patients with different causes of hyperparathyroidism are reported. First patient is a 13-year-old male with severe hypercalcemia due to left upper parathyroid gland adenoma. After successful surgery, calcium and phosphate levels normalized, but parathormone levels remained elevated. Further studies revealed a second adenoma in the right gland. The second patient is a 13-year-old female with uncommon hypercalcemia symptoms. Presence of pathogenic calcium-sensing receptor gene (CASR) mutation was found, resulting in diagnosis of symptomatic familial hypocalciuric hypercalcemia. Cinacalcet, a calcium-sensing agent that increases the sensitivity of the CASR, was used in both patients with successful results. Hyperparathyroidism is a rare condition in pediatric patients. If not treated, it can cause serious morbidity. Genetic tests searching for CASR or MEN1 gene mutations in pediatric patients with primary hyperparathyroidism should be performed. Cinacalcet has been effective for treating different causes of hyperparathyroidism in our two pediatric patients. Treatment has been well tolerated and no side effects have been detected. The association between type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) and bone health has garnered interest over the years. Fracture risk is known to be increased in individuals with T1DM, although bone health assessment is not often performed in the clinical setting. We describe the case of a 21-year-old male with longstanding T1DM with multilevel vertebral fractures on imaging, after presenting with acute back pain without apparent trauma. Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) revealed significantly reduced bone mineral density at the lumbar spine and femoral neck. Extensive investigations for other secondary or genetic causes of osteoporosis were unremarkable, apart from moderate vitamin D deficiency. High-resolution peripheral quantitative computed tomography and bone biospy revealed significant alterations of trabecular bone microarchitecture. It later transpired that the patient had sustained vertebral fractures secondary to unrecognised nocturnal hypoglycaemic seizures. Intravenous zoledronic acid was administered for secondary fracture prevention. Despite anti-resorptive therapy, the patient sustained a new vertebral fracture after experiencing another hypoglycaemic seizure in his sleep. Bone health in T1DM is complex and not well understood. There are significant challenges in the assessment and management of osteoporosis in T1DM, particularly in young adults, where fracture prediction tools have not been validated. Clinicians should be aware of hypoglycaemia as a significant risk factor for fracture in patients with T1DM. Type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) is a secondary cause of osteoporosis, characterised by reduced bone mass and disturbed bone microarchitecture. Hypoglycaemic seizures generate sufficient compression forces along the thoracic column and can cause fractures in individuals with compromised bone quality. Unrecognised hypoglycaemic seizures should be considered in patients with T1DM presenting with fractures without a history of trauma. Patients with T1DM have increased fracture risk and risk factors should be addressed. Evaluation of bone microarchitecture may provide further insights into mechanisms of fracture in T1DM. Further research is needed to guide the optimal screening and management of bone health in patients with T1DM. We describe a case of severe erythrocytosis caused by testosterone replacement therapy in a 66-year-old man affected with hypogonadotropic hypogonadism (HH) determining osteoporosis, resolved by switching to restoration therapy with clomiphene citrate. The patient complained fatigue, loss of libido and defective erections and a spontaneous vertebral fracture despite bisphosphonate therapy and vitamin D supplementation. The examinations proved isolated HH and he was therefore treated with testosterone gel with regression of specific manifestations but elevated hemoglobin and hematocrit values. Therefore, it was decided to switch to a restoration therapy with clomiphene citrate 25 mg/die, which resulted in the resolution of symptoms without evident side effects. In a couple of months, the patient showed normalization of testosterone levels and increment of testicular volume. Since secondary hypogonadism is the consequence of an insufficient stimulation of the gonads by hypothalamic–pituitary axis, therapeutic approaches aimed to restore endogenous testosterone production should be considered in alternative to testosterone replacement, particularly if side effects intervene. Among these strategies, clomiphene citrate seems to have a high efficacy and safety profile also in the elderly with isolated HH and no evident pituitary lesion. Hypogonadism should always be assessed in patients with severe loss in BMD and undergo appropriate medical treatment. In hypogonadotropic hypogonadism, more approaches are available other than testosterone replacement therapy alone. In patients with severe late-onset central hypogonadism presenting with erythrocytosis even at low doses of replacement therapy, restoration therapy with clomiphene could prove to be an effective solution, particularly in patients with a reversible disruption of GNRH/gonadotropin functions. Clomiphene citrate increases gonadotropin levels and testicular volume and should therefore be considered in hypogonadal men who wish to remain fertile. Diamond–Blackfan anaemia (DBA) is a rare cause of bone marrow failure. The incidence of malignancy and endocrine complications are increased in DBA, relative to other inherited bone marrow failure syndromes. We describe an adult woman with DBA who developed osteoporosis and avascular necrosis (AVN) of both distal femora. Such endocrine complications are not uncommon in DBA, but under-appreciated, especially in adulthood. Further, rectal adenocarcinoma was diagnosed at age 32 years, requiring hemi-colectomy and adjuvant chemotherapy. Elevated cancer risk may warrant disease-specific screening guidelines. Genetic predictors of extra-haematopoetic complications in DBA are yet to be established. Endocrine complications are common in DBA. Clinical vigilance is required in managing bone health of DBA patients treated with glucocorticoids. There is currently no reliable way to predict which patients will develop complications of therapy or premature malignancy related to DBA. Complaints of bone or joint pain should prompt screening with targeted magnetic resonance imaging. Osteoporosis screening should be performed routinely. Cushing’s syndrome is associated with increased morbidity and mortality. Although surgery is the first-line treatment, drugs can still play a role as an ancillary treatment to be employed while waiting for surgery, after unsuccessful operation or in patients unsuitable for surgery. We were asked to evaluate a 32-year-old male waiting for cardiac transplantation. Idiopathic hypokinetic cardiomyopathy had been diagnosed since 6 years. He was on treatment with multiple drugs, had a pacemaker, an implantable cardioverter and an external device for the support of systolic function. Physical examination showed severely impaired general status, signs of hypercortisolism and multiple vertebral compression fractures. We administered teriparatide, and the few evaluable parameters supported the diagnosis of ACTH-dependent hypercortisolism: serum cortisol was 24.2 µg/dL in the morning and 20.3 µg/dL after overnight 1 mg dexamethasone, urinary free cortisol (UFC) was 258 µg/24 h and ACTH 125 pg/mL. Pituitary CT was negative. Pasireotide 300 µg bid was administered and uptitrated to 600 µg bid. Treatment was well tolerated, achieving dramatic improvement of clinical picture with progressive normalization of serum cortisol and ACTH levels as well as UFC. After 4 months, the patient underwent successful heart transplantation. Many complications ensued and were overcome. Pituitary MRI was negative. On pasireotide 300 µg bid and prednisone 2.5 mg/day (as part of immunosuppressive therapy), morning serum cortisol and ACTH were 15.6 µg/dL and 54 pg/mL respectively, UFC was 37 µg/24 h, fasting glucose: 107 mg/dL and HbA1c: 6.5%. In conclusion, primary treatment with pasireotide achieved remission of hypercortisolism, thus allowing the patient to undergo heart transplantation. Untreated Cushing’s syndrome is associated with ominous prognosis. First-line treatment is surgery (at pituitary or adrenal, according to disease localization). A few drugs are available to treat hypercortisolism. Pasireotide is a multi-ligand somatostatin analog approved for treatment of hypercortisolism. Primary treatment with pasireotide was effective in a patient with severe Cushing’s syndrome, allowing him to undergo heart transplantation. Primary ovarian insufficiency (POI) is the condition of intermittent or permanent gonadal insufficiency that occurs in women before the age of 40. We describe three cases of POI referred to the outpatient endocrinology clinic of a university hospital. The three patients met diagnostic criteria for POI and were managed by specific approaches tailored to individualized goals. In the first case, the main concern was fertility and the reproductive prognosis. The second patient was a carrier of a common genetic cause of POI: premutation of the FMR1 gene. The third case was a patient diagnosed with a POI and established osteoporosis, a common complication of estrogen deprivation. This study reports the treatment and follow-up of these cases, with an emphasis on relevant aspects of individualized management, alongside a brief literature review. A diagnosis of POI should be considered in patients presenting with amenorrhea or irregular menses and high serum follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) levels before age 40 years. Patients with POI without an established cause, especially in familial cases, should be tested for FMR1 mutations. Estrogen/progestin replacement therapy is indicated since diagnosis until at least the estimated age of menopause, and is the cornerstone for maintaining the good health of breast and urogenital tract and for primary or secondary osteoporosis prevention in POI. Fertility should be managed through an individualized approach based on patient possibilities, such as egg or embryo donation and ovarian cryopreservation; pregnancy can occur spontaneously in a minority of cases. Women with POI should be carefully monitored for cardiovascular risk factors. Xanthogranulomatous hypophysitis (XGH) is a very rare form of pituitary hypophysitis that may present both clinically and radiologically as a neoplastic lesion. It may either be primary with an autoimmune aetiology and can occur in isolation or as a part of autoimmune systemic disease or secondary as a reactive degenerative response to an epithelial lesion (e.g. craniopharyngioma (CP), Rathke's cleft cyst, germinoma and pituitary adenomas) or as a part of a multiorgan systemic involvement such as tuberculosis, sarcoidosis or granulomatosis. It may also present with a variation of symptoms in children and adults. Our case series compares the paediatric and adult presentations of XGH and the differential diagnoses considered in one child and two adult patients, highlighting the wide spectrum of this condition. Endocrine investigations suggested panhypopituitarism in all three patients and imaging revealed a suprasellar mass compressing the optic chiasm suggestive of CP or Rathke's cleft cyst in one patient and non-functioning pituitary macroadenoma in two patients. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) demonstrated mixed signal intensities on T1- and T2-weighted sequences. Following endoscopic transsphenoidal surgery, histological analysis revealed necrotic material with a xanthogranulomatous reaction confirming XGH in two patients and a necrobiotic granulomatous chronic inflammatory infiltrate with neutrophils in one patient, which is not typical of current descriptions of this disorder. This case series describes the wide spectrum of XGH disease that is yet to be defined. Mixed signal intensities on T1- and T2-weighted MRI sequences may indicate XGH and diagnosis is confirmed by histology. Histological variation may indicate an underlying systemic process. XGH is a rare form of pituitary hypophysitis with a wide clinical and histological spectrum and can mimic a neoplastic lesion. XGH primarily presents with growth arrest in children and pubertal arrest in adolescents. In adults, the presentation may vary. A combination of hypopituitarism and mixed signal intensity lesion on MRI is suggestive of XGH and should be considered in the differential diagnosis of sellar lesions. Radical surgery is the treatment of choice and carries an excellent prognosis with no recurrence.

OBJECTIVES: The objectives of this analysis were to identify the sociodemographic characteristics of water-pipe users in a North American context and to describe concurrent psychoactive substance use. METHODS: Data on sociodemographic characteristics, water-pipe smoking, and use of other psychoactive substances were collected in 2007 through mailed self-report questionnaires completed by 871 young adults, 18 to 24 years of age, who were participating in the Nicotine Dependence in Teens Study, a longitudinal investigation of the natural history of nicotine dependence among adolescents in Montreal, Canada. Independent sociodemographic correlates of water-pipe use were identified in multivariate logistic regression analyses. RESULTS: Previous-year water-pipe use was reported by 23% of participants. Younger age, male gender, speaking English, not living with parents, and higher household income independently increased the odds of water-pipe use. Water-pipe use was markedly higher among participants who had smoked cigarettes, had used other tobacco products, had drunk alcohol, had engaged in binge drinking, had smoked marijuana, or had used other illicit drugs in the previous year. CONCLUSIONS: Water-pipe users may represent an advantaged group of young people with the leisure time, resources, and opportunity to use water-pipes. Evidence-based public health and policy interventions are required to equip the public to make informed decisions about water-pipe use. Water-pipe smoking has increased recently in North America and Europe. Because of its potential impact on life-threatening conditions and nicotine dependence and because of the lack of knowledge about its health effects, water-pipe smoking may represent a public health threat. This study describes the sociodemographic characteristics of water-pipe users and compares the use of other psychoactive substances between users and nonusers. Evidence-based public health policies may be required to equip the public to make informed decisions about water-pipe use. There are few studies on the frequency and determinants of water-pipe use outside the Middle East.1 In the United States, previous-month use proportions ranged between 9% and 20% among college students.2,3,19 In the 2006 Canadian Youth Smoking Survey,20 7% of adolescents in grades 7 to 12 reported ever use and 3% reported use in the previous 30 days. In the 2006 Canadian Tobacco Use Monitoring Survey,21 5% of male participants and 2% of female participants ≥15 years of age, and 8% of participants 15 to 24 years of age had ever used a water-pipe. Several US studies report that rates of concurrent psychoactive substance use are high among water-pipe users.1,22 The aims of the current analysis were to identify the sociodemographic characteristics of water-pipe users in a North American context and to describe concurrent psychoactive substance use. Data were drawn from the Nicotine Dependence in Teens (NDIT) Study, a prospective cohort investigation of 1293 students recruited in 1999–2000 from all grade 7 classes in a convenience sample of 10 secondary schools in Montreal, Canada.23 The present analysis uses data collected through mailed, self-report questionnaires in 2007–2008, when participants were 18 to 24 years of age. Participants provided written informed consent in this most recent follow-up evaluation. The study was approved by the research ethics committee of the University of Montreal Hospital Research Center (CRCHUM). Sociodemographic data included data on age, gender, language spoken at home (French, English, or other), currently in school, living with parents, annual household income (below $30 000, $30 000–99 000, $100 000 or above, or missing data), white race, and currently employed. Frequency of previous-year water-pipe use was measured with the following question: “In the past 12 months, how often did you use a water-pipe (hubble bubble, nargilé, or shisha)?” Response choices included never, less than once per month, 1 to 3 times per month, 1 to 6 times per week, and every day. For multivariate analyses, participants were grouped according to whether or not they had used a water-pipe in the previous year. We created the indicator of number of other substances as the arithmetic sum of positive responses for previous-year use of cigarettes, other tobacco products, marijuana, other illicit drugs, and binge drinking. Use of alcohol was excluded because of its high prevalence and overlap with binge drinking. Values for the number of other substances ranged between 0 and 5 (mean ± SD: 2.2 ± 1.5; median: 2.0). Descriptive statistics were computed to describe water-pipe use according to sociodemographic characteristics and concurrent psychoactive substance use. Adjusted odds ratios and 95% confidence intervals for potential sociodemographic correlates of water-pipe use were obtained in multivariate logistic regression analyses. All analyses were conducted by using SAS/STAT 9.1 (SAS Institute, Cary, NC). Eighty-five of the original 1293 NDIT Study participants were either lost to follow-up monitoring or refused to participate after secondary school. Among 1208 participants available for follow-up evaluation, 878 (73%) completed questionnaires. Data on water-pipe use were missing for 7 participants; therefore, the analytic sample included 871 participants. Participants were 18 to 24 years of age (mean ± SD: 20 ± 1 years), and 46% were male. A total of 204 participants (23%) reported previous-year water-pipe use. Among water-pipe users, 78% smoked water-pipes less than once per month, 19% smoked 1 to 3 times per month, 3% smoked 1 to 6 times per week, and 0% smoked every day. Younger age, male gender, speaking English, not living with parents, and higher household income each independently increased the odds of water-pipe use (Table 1). Use of other psychoactive substances investigated were relatively high in this sample (Table 2). The mean ± SD number of other substances used in the previous year was 3.2 ± 1.3 among water-pipe users, compared with 1.9 ± 1.4 among nonusers. Compared with nonusers, markedly higher proportions of water-pipe users reported using each of the psychoactive substances investigated (Table 2). Virtually all water-pipe users drank alcohol and 92% reported binge drinking. The largest difference between groups was in marijuana use; 74% of water-pipe users reported marijuana use, compared with 35% of nonusers. Table 3 shows that participants who had used other psychoactive substances in the previous year were markedly more likely to report previous-year water-pipe use. In this study, 23% of young adults had used a water-pipe in the previous year, a prevalence estimate almost 3 times higher than the 8% reported in the 2006 Canadian Tobacco Use Monitoring Survey for a similar age group.21 Numerous factors may underlie the growing popularity of water-pipes including low cost,8,25 easy access,8 appeal of the social interaction that accompanies use,9,17,26,27 commercialization by the media,16,18 availability of sweetened, flavored, and aromatic tobacco or maassel, which can mask the taste of tobacco,1,22,28 perceptions of low risk to health,1,2,22,26 linked to the belief that the water filters the toxins from the smoke,1,18 the lack of public health warnings about the dangers of water-pipe use,10,26 and the perception that water-pipe smoking is less addictive than cigarette smoking.2,3,22 In fact, Knishkowy and Amitai8 described 4 myths about water-pipe use that seem common across cultures, as follows. (1) Water-pipes are safer than cigarettes because of lower nicotine content. In reality, different water-pipe products and smoking patterns could result in higher nicotine intake. (2) Because the texture of water-pipe smoke is smoother, it is less toxic. In fact, the lack of irritation has been associated with the moisture in the pipe, which makes its use more palatable but not less toxic. (3) Toxins are filtered through water before the smoke is inhaled. Although it is plausible that some water-soluble toxins may be absorbed in the “filtration” process, the concentrations of toxic substances are not reduced sufficiently to reduce negative health effects.10 (4) Fruits added to flavored tobacco makes water-pipe tobacco smoking a healthy choice. In fact, fruit flavors mask the tobacco taste and cannot be viewed as a healthy food intake/choice. Our results on the sociodemographic correlates of water-pipe use mirror findings in other Western countries5,21,29 indicating that water-pipes are used primarily by younger persons and by male individuals. Water-pipe users in the NDIT Study were more likely to be male and, even with the restricted age range in the NDIT Study, younger participants were more likely to use water-pipes. This may reflect the experimentation with new substances that typically occurs during later adolescence,30,31 although preferences for specific substances often do not solidify until the early 20s.32 Increased exposure to psychoactive substances may coincide with the end of secondary schooling and a shift to either working or further schooling in less-structured settings characterized by decreased parental control and increased socialization with new friends. Consistent with previous reports,29 water-pipe use was not restricted to any single racial, ethnic, or cultural group, which supports the idea that water-pipe smoking has spread to many groups within Western cultures. Finally, not living with parents and higher annual household income were associated with water-pipe use. This supports the previous finding that higher weekly disposable income was associated with water-pipe use.5 Water-pipe users may represent a more-privileged group of young people with the leisure time, resources, and opportunities to use water-pipes. Limitations of this analysis include the fact that self-report data may be subject to recall bias. Use of a convenience sample may limit generalizability of the findings. The NDIT Study sample had low power to study water-pipe use in ethnic groups other than the white group. Finally, use of cross-sectional data limits the causal inferences about the determinants of water-pipe use that can be made. Although the public health burden of water-pipe smoking is not known, more in-depth surveillance of apparently increasing use is required. Research is needed to increase understanding of the health effects, natural history, and determinants of water-pipe smoking, as well as the reasons for the high levels of concurrent psychoactive substance use. The constituents of water-pipe smoke should be better delineated and, if water-pipe use is associated with impairment or increased health service utilization, then research on treatment for misuse may be justified. Evidence-based public health interventions may be required to facilitate the public making informed decisions about water-pipe use.

At LTPL we try to use technology to help us do our jobs more successfully. As such we create recordings on a regular basis with our students. Recording students simulates the pressure that modern musicians have to deal with every day, building confidence and pushing limits. It allows us to keep a record of progress, so that pupils can reflect upon their own performance. We sometimes use video rather than audio recordings so that we can talk about technique, and actually show pupils the way to improve. It also means that we can accurately moderate how our tutors assess their pupils, to make sure that everybody is consistent. We take safeguarding seriously, so all recordings are taken on LTPL devices, which are password protected and synced only to our central server so that only authorised personnel are able to access them. They are stored centrally on our encrypted server, and used only with the pupils concerned or for moderation/assessment purposes. Tutors are all DBS checked and receive regular safeguarding training, and will always ask the permission of the pupil before making a recording. Once the recording is made, it is synced and stored securely so that only senior management has access to the archive. All of this is explained in our terms and conditions. If you have any queries about this or any other matter, please get in touch. Of course, we respect the privacy of our pupils and their families. If you would prefer to opt out of this arrangement, please complete the form below. I would like to opt out of lesson-based recordings, effective immediately.

Whew, issue #1 isn't even out yet and we already have ourselves a tiny preview for the second issue, scheduled to hit newsstands in June. “Let the Games Begin!” Part Two: Rock was just a simple helper-robot. Now he’s the world-saving Mega Man! Armed with only his Mega Buster, can Mega Man face down the Robot Masters? More importantly, can he face his own reservations about fighting his own kind? The anticipation is just grueling; can't wait for the comic to come out! As a reminder, issue #1 will release on May 4th, 2011, with new issues arriving once a mont You can purchase a subscription right here. Whoa, there's something funny about Rock's robot ear things. And Bombman needs a dentist. Nice cover. It's good they're giving adequate exposure to the original robot masters. I think they should take a chronological approach. The cartoon plugged them at random, and it felt kinda awkward. The art here is good, reminiscent of the Rockman: Complete Works style. BombMan looks nuts, which really suits him. It reminds me of the Dr.Wily Show. I hope this comic has a nice, long, healthy run before they taint it with crossovers from other Megaman series' (This means you, especially X series) Just say NO to Zero, Archie!.

DURBAN - After declining to their lowest level since 2009 in the last quarter of 2018, the Agbiz/IDC Agribusiness Confidence Index improved by four points to 46 in the first quarter of this year. Agbiz said while the improvement in sentiment was a welcome development, the index remained below the neutral 50-point mark, implying that agribusinesses were still downbeat about business conditions. The survey was conducted between 28 February 28 and March 15 and included agribusinesses operating in all agricultural sub-sectors across South Africa. The index reflected the perceptions of at least 25 agribusiness decision-makers on the 10 most important aspects influencing a business in the agricultural sector (ie, turnover, net operating income, market share, employment, capital investment, export volumes, economic growth, general agricultural conditions, debtor provision for bad debt and financing cost). According to the survey, after deteriorating to the lowest level since the first quarter of 2010, confidence regarding the turnover sub-index improved by 13 points to 61 in the first quarter of 2019. Confidence regarding the export volumes sub-index increased significantly by 19 to 56 index points in the first quarter of 2019. This optimism stemmed from the horticultural and livestock sub-sectors. Agbiz said from a horticulture perspective, the Citrus Growers’ Association recently noted that exports could reach a record level of 137 million boxes of citrus fruit in 2019. Moreover, the South African Wine Industry Information and Systems noted the possibility of a relatively larger harvest of wine grapes this year, which should boost exports. In terms of livestock, while the outbreak of foot-and-mouth disease earlier this year led to a number of countries placing a temporary ban on South African beef exports, the Department of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries is engaged in discussions to re-open markets for South African beef on the African continent, as well as to the Middle East. Although sentiment from the horticulture sub-sector is fairly positive, the general agricultural conditions sub-index fell by 8 points to 32 in the first quarter of 2019. In addition, the renewed power outages across the country, and disappointing high-frequency data over the past few months suggest that South Africa’s economic fortunes could remain constrained for the better part of this year.

Ethnopharmacological studies about migrants reveal a dynamic process of knowledge and use of medicinal plants. In this study, we sought to elucidate quantitative and qualitatively the main factors influencing the use of medicinal plants by migrants from rural areas to an urban region in Brazil with traces of remnant natural vegetation. Seven Northeastern individuals who migrated to the Southeastern Region of Brazil (Bororé Peninsula, in the city of São Paulo) were selected to participate in semi-structured interviews regarding the use of medicinal plants throughout their lives, and indicated an inhabitant in their hometown that would be able to accompany the field collections in each area. Socioeconomic, educational, family structure, and use of Western medicine data were provided during interviews with the individuals from their hometowns. Plant samples cited by the interviewees were collected both at the current place of residence and in their hometowns. The participants cited 131 plants and 315 recipes, being the main indications related to the gastrointestinal system, respiratory problems, and pain and inflammatory processes. We observed that most plant uses were maintained after migration. Higher percentages of maintenances and incorporations in plant uses occurred to exotic species, while replacements happen mainly to native plants. The introduction of new species into the migrants’ therapeutics occurred mainly by observations of organoleptic similarities between the substituted plant and the incorporated species, conversations with neighbors, and contact with the television and print media. In addition, the public health system allowed the interviewees access to prophylactic drugs, leading to the discontinuation of certain recipes used in endemic diseases. Migrants were exposed to information about new plants and their uses, new diseases, and socioeconomic and cultural differences that impacted their use of medicinal plants. Although migration to a more developed city facilitated access to public health and education, on the other hand, it made access to fresh medicinal plants difficult, causing some medicinal plants to be replaced or ceased to be used. Ethnopharmacological research regarding migrants reveals a dynamic process of knowledge and use of medicinal plants. Despite adapting or incorporating new treatments for their illnesses, migrant subjects also preserve part of their past culture. Some of the factors that can influence this process are the reason for migration, social status, education, personal habits, lifestyle, and differences in the degree of development between the regions of origin and destination [1–4]. Numerous studies have evaluated the impact of the cultural syncretism on the adaptation of different groups of migrants, for example, people that migrated from Albania or Senegal to Italy [5, 6], from Haiti, Europe, and Africa to Cuba [7, 8], from South Asian or South American countries to UK [3, 9–11], from Macedonia to Albania , from Poland to Argentina [13, 14], and from Austria to Australia, Brazil, or Peru . This adaptation is also observed in studies with nomad people and migrants from geographically and culturally distinct regions of the same country, such as Brazilian subjects who migrated from the Northeastern Region to the Amazon region of the Acre and Purus rivers and from the northeastern to southeast metropolitan region of São Paulo . The migrants usually cherish and uphold values and traditions of their hometowns, such as festive dates, cuisine, music, local dialects, and the medicinal plants they already knew. At their new destination, they are introduced to novel uses for these plants, in addition to introducing their knowledge to local therapeutics as well [1, 19]. Additionally, they are exposed to a new environment where the acquisition of new species and the abandonment of certain plants of their therapeutic resource take place [1, 2]. Migration from rural to urban areas in metropolitan centers or immigration from developing countries to big cities in developed countries have been previously studied [3, 4, 6, 9, 10, 20]. When migrants move to regions that have preserved vegetation or remain in contact with people from their hometown, the likelihood of maintaining the use of medicinal plants is higher, despite cultural and climatic adaptations [1, 21]. In this study, we sought to investigate, using quantitative and qualitative data, how the migration from rural areas of the Brazilian Northeast to the Bororé Peninsula (a community belonging to São Paulo metropolitan region, but with remaining forest areas) influenced the dynamics of the use of medicinal plants among the migrant subjects. In order to better understand the rationale behind the decision of whether or not to use medicinal plants after migration, ethnopharmacological and ethnographic data were collected both at the São Paulo site and on informants’ cities of origin. Our hypothesis was that the migrants would maintain the use of the species that are also available in the host environment (new city) and discontinue the use or replace those not available in the metropolitan region. The Bororé Peninsula is located in the Billings Hydrographic Basin, which occupies a territory of 582.8 km2, located in the southeast portion of the metropolitan region of São Paulo, Southeast Brazil. Contrasting with the other regions of the city, it has low human occupation, with few buildings and access by ferry boat. It contains a large area of secondary Atlantic Forest in middle and advanced stages of regeneration . During the survey period, the community of the Bororé Peninsula had approximately 2500 inhabitants (data obtained through the local Family Health Unit). Many inhabitants came from migratory flows in the 1960s and 1970s. There was one Basic Health Unit and one public school in the Bororé Peninsula, as well as electricity and telephone network, but there was no water supply, resulting in the need for residents to build artesian wells. Residents of the Bororé Peninsula could schedule weekly medical appointments at the Basic Health Unit, while elderly patients, pregnant women, and sick people with most serious health state received authorization to conduct tests and medications at home through government health employee. The informants’ hometowns are located in Bahia and Piaui (Northeast states of Brazil). Esplanada, Jitaúna, and Itabuna (in the state of Bahia) present the Atlantic Forest as a natural biome, while Novo Horizonte (Bahia), Piripiri, and Pavussú (in the state of Piauí) are located in regions where the prevalent biome is the Caatinga (dryland) (Fig. 1). The Caatinga is represented by a rainfall regime that, in the regional culture, encompasses two distinct seasons: summer (dry season) and winter (rainy season) (Fig. 2). Basic sanitation, public health facilities, basic education (primary and secondary schools), public transport, and access to electricity in rural areas were precarious or absent in all visited cities. Although Itabuna city was an exception for most of the aforementioned issues, basic sanitation was absent in the visited rural area at the margin of the forest. Another concern was the presence of mining in new Horizonte, where miners could be seen working without any supervision or security. Extreme poverty was observed in some places, but according to the interviewees, it had been recently diminished as a consequence of the federal basic income transfer policy called “Bolsa Família” which pays a small salary for poor families. Approximately 300 houses were visited in the Bororé Peninsula between July 2005 and August 2006. During this time, we collected general information about the local community and set some key-informants (community leaders) to assist in selecting the study participants. For this study, we selected people who migrated from the Northeast Region of Brazil and met the following criteria: (a) were considered specialists in medicinal plants by their neighbors in the Bororé community; (b) used native plants regularly in their hometown; and (c) were able to indicate at least one close person (friend or relative) who could assist in ethnographic research and plant collection in their hometown. Seven people with these characteristics were selected (data summarized in Table 1). Grows medicinal plants at the yard? Survey methods were based on anthropological and botanical concepts to obtain qualitative and quantitative data about the use of medicinal plants. Approximately 40 informal and semi-structured visits and interviews were carried out with the migrants (informants) to obtain their personal data such as age, marital status, main occupation, educational level, religion, family structure, city of birth, migratory journey, motive that led to migration, and housing time. Using field notebooks, guidebooks, and by participant observation method (direct observation) [23, 24], we also obtained data about usual diet, use of the conventional health system, and allopathic medicines, as well as detailed information on each medicinal plant known to the interviewee. We then collected the botanical material, whenever possible, and we registered the plant popular names, physical characteristics, indications (popular uses), used parts, methods of preparation, routes of administration, doses, frequency, contraindications, adverse effects, and any other relevant characteristics. Each indication (containing the part used and method of preparation) was considered one recipe. Some recipes contained two or more species (formulas). The same taxon and recipe would be cited by more than one informant. Plants cited by the informants, but not available in the Bororé Peninsula, were not collected in this phase of the study, but all relevant information was recorded to allow the subsequent localization of the species at the migrant’s cities of origin. In the second phase of the study (between September and November 2006), the fieldwork was performed at the interviewees’ hometowns, where nine friends or relatives assisted as local guides for botanical collections. Local guides were informed of the popular name, medicinal use, and main morphological and organoleptic characteristics of the plants cited during the interviews in the peninsula of Bororé in order to increase the chances of finding the correct species. Books on Brazilian medicinal flora (see Additional file 1) were consulted in order to obtain data on their geographical distribution and their popular names to correlate with the names cited by the interviewees. This information was useful to facilitate finding the plants in the city of origin of each participant. The plants found and collected during the second phase of the study were subsequently showed to the migrants to confirm that they matched with the cited species. The material collected in Bororé Peninsula and in the informants’ hometown was identified at the Botany Institute of the State of São Paulo, and the vouchers specimens were deposited at the herbarium of the Federal University of ABC. The website “Flora do Brazil” and several books were consulted to determine if the species were native, naturalized, or exotic (Additional file 1). Plants purchased in supermarkets by the participants were not identified by collection; instead, the botanical species or possible genus was suggested according to the organoleptic properties cited by the respondents, or by the information contained in their commercial packages (when available), as in the case of tea bags. Considering the context of human migration, the adaptation in the use of medicinal plants was categorized as follows [18, 26]: (1) maintenance—when a plant known in the city of origin has its indication kept in the current location of residence; (2) replacement—there was an exchange of a medicinal plant used in the hometown for another species used for the same purpose; (3) incorporation—new indication for an already known plant or use of a new species for a specific purpose; (4) discontinuation—the species ceased to be used because the disease is uncommon in the current place of residence or the migrant preferred the use of allopathic medicine or an industrialized product in place of the plant. The data collected was entered in a worksheet containing the plant vernacular name, popular uses, parts employed, method of preparation, route of administration, and whether the plant use was maintained after migration, replaced, discontinued, or if a new plant or indication (recipe) was incorporated at the host place. Each recipe was included as a single line in the table; when two or more participants cited an identical recipe, it was grouped as a single entry, but the total number of citations was counted in the quantitative analysis. After botanical identification, the scientific name, family, and the origin of the species (native/naturalized or exotic) were included in the worksheet. We then classified the popular uses (complaints, ethnomedical indications, and other applications) cited by the informants into 15 categories (adapted from the International Classification of Diseases—ICD-11) . The data generated was used to calculate the informant’s consensus factor (ICF) and index of relative importance (RI), as detailed below. The level of homogeneity among information provided by the seven participants was calculated using the formula ICF = Nur − Nt/(Nur − 1), where Nur is the number of use reports from informants for a particular plant use category and Nt is the number of species that are used for that category for all participants [28, 29]. The RI of the main species cited by the informants was calculated by the formula RI = Ni/Nc where Ni is the number of informants that cited this species and Nc is the total number of citations of the species. All taxa and recipes were used in the calculation of ICF and RI, independent of being maintained, replaced, incorporated, or discontinued. To better understand the main factors that contributed to the dynamics of medicinal plant use among the migrant participants of this study, the first author (Romanus, PC) recorded notes during the interviews in her field notebook and did general observations for further analysis. We subsequently used these notes to qualitatively discuss some strategies adopted by the seven interviewees concerning the use of medicinal plants after their migration. We sought to understand and discuss the most relevant aspects that influenced the dynamics of medicinal plant use, according to the participants’ reports and interviewer perception. Only seven people that fulfilled the selection criteria consented to participate in the study, being 4 women and 3 men with average age of 56.9 years old (Table 1). These informants migrated from Bahia and Piauí states (Northeast of Brazil) around 15–20 years before the study, and the biome in their place of origin was Atlantic Forest (interviewees BA1, BA3, BA4, and BA5) and Caatinga (BA2, PI1, and PI2). All the informants stated that they used medicinal plants in their hometowns and still use in the host place, but two (BA3 and BA4) were not able to grow medicinal plants in their yards at the Bororé Peninsula. The informants had only informal literacy or elementary school and, at the time of the interviews, worked as a housekeeper, housemaid, or gardener in their neighborhood. They also informed the main reasons for migration: financial improvement (4 participants), “curiosity about the life in a big city” (2 participants), or to live close to the family (1 participant). Similarly to what was reported by Garcia et al. , the migrants stated that they learned about medicinal plants with relatives in their hometown and acquired new knowledge from books, media, and neighbors after their migration. The 131 plants cited during the field work at Bororé Peninsula and in the cities of Bahia and Piauí states are shown in Tables 2, 3, 4, and 5. Most taxa were identified, belonging to 51 families, where the most common were Lamiaceae (14 species), Asteraceae and Fabaceae (13 species), and Euphorbiaceae (11 species). The informants cited 315 recipes as part of several indications (popular uses). The plant parts most employed in the recipes were leaves and aerial parts, followed by barks, branches, and seeds, while the most common methods of preparation were as infusion, syrup, maceration, and decoction, respectively. This data corroborates previous reports in the literature, with these botanical parts and methods of preparation being the most cited. According to Gazzaneo et al. , communities living near humid forests tend to use plant leaves, while barks and roots are preferred by people living in dry regions because most plants shed their leaves in dry season. In our study, we observed a substantial use of bark and root of Caatinga species. The informants also mentioned 15 recipes containing two or more plants and informed when these recipes were changed after migration (Table 6). These recipes were not unchangeable, since they stated that some plants could be included or replaced keeping the formula similarly effective. The popular uses cited by the participants were grouped in 15 therapeutic classes (Table 7). The most relevant categories of use in our sample were respiratory (62 citations), gastrointestinal (58 recipes) and inflammation, pain and fever (55 citations). A similar study with people who migrated from Northeastern Brazil to Diadema (also a metropolitan region of São Paulo) found the same categories as the most cited . In fact, studies with urban population have shown that the use of medicinal plants is more common for treatment of “minor” problems, like gastritis, cough, and contusion, if compared to “serious” diseases like cancer, psychiatric disorders, and neurological conditions [3, 30, 31]. The therapeutic categories with higher ICF were gastrointestinal (0.42), genitourinary (0.41), psychoanaleptic (0.39), and respiratory (0.39), while the other categories presented ICF lower than 0.25 (Table 7). Low ICF values indicate that plants are chosen randomly or the informants do not exchange information about their use [28, 29]. As we can see, there was a low consensus among the participants, which in many cases cited different plants and uses for similar ailments. The most accepted interpretation is that the migrants do not share information about the species and uses, possibly because in many cases, the access to medicinal plants is no longer the primary health care adopted. Another hypothesis is that the adaptation to a new environment, with access to different medicinal plants, resulted in a heterogeneous use among the migrants, which reflects the low ICF value found for most therapeutic categories. However, when we analyze the species and indication cited by migrants from the same state and biome, we can observe higher agreement of use (see Tables 2, 3, 4, and 5) suggesting that migrants that share a common background are more likely to exchange information. Low ICV values were also found in a previous study that evaluated the dynamics of use of medicinal plants among migrants living in Diadema . Table 8 shows the 19 species cited at least five times by the interviewees. The species most cited were Foeniculum vulgare (10 recipes from 4 informants), Baccharis trimera (9 recipes from 3 informants), and Ruta graveolens (9 recipes from 2 informants)—see Tables 2, 3, 4, and 5. Table 8 also shows the index of relative importance of each plant, represented by the number of informants that cited the plant proportionally to the number of recipes. Lippia alba was the species used by the highest number of informants, with a relative importance of 0.86, although cited to five different indications. A high relative importance (0.80) was also observed to Phyllanthus niruri and Phyllanthus tenellus (used to treat kidney stones by three migrants). On the other hand, we observed that Ruta chalepensis and Ruta graveolens are used by few informants for many different purposes. This suggests that these species may have particular importance for these informants, but not for the other migrants. It is interesting to note that all species in this list had the use maintained after migration, except for Calea pinnatifida, which use was incorporated by two informants after their migration to the Bororé Peninsula. The category where each species was classified (maintenance, replacement, discontinuation, and incorporation) was defined according to the dynamics of use described by the interviewee after his/her migration to the Bororé Peninsula. One species could be used for different purposes (more than one recipe) and the dynamics of use could be different for each recipe and informant. Table 9 shows the number of recipes and percentage of maintenance, replacement, incorporation, and discontinuation for each recipe considering each informant and the total sample. We observed that, on average, most uses were maintained (65.4%) after the migration (206 recipes containing 80 species), 54 recipes (17.1%) containing 39 species were replaced by plants available in the Bororé Peninsula, 45 new recipes (14.3%) were incorporated, and only 3.2% fell into disuse after migration, but these percentages are very different if we analyze the dynamic of use for each informant. It is clear that the knowledge about medicinal plants is very different among the participants. BA1 and BA2 cited most plants and recipes while BA3 showed a limited use of medicinal plants. It was previously reported that a large part of the knowledge about medicinal plants is not shared among migrants, and in many cases, the same species are used differently or for different ailments . In general, we could observe highest rates of maintenance with migrants from Atlantic Forest (especially BA1, BA3, and BA4), while migrants from Caatinga biome (BA2, PI1, and PI2) presented lower percentages of maintenance (compared with the average of the total sample) and showed higher rates of replacement, incorporation, and discontinuation (Table 9). This data suggest that native species from Caatinga biome were not available in the host place (Atlantic Forest biome) and could not be easily cultivated or acquired there. In fact, when we compared the species identified as native/naturalized or exotic, the percentage of maintained uses was found to be higher for exotic species, while the replacement and discontinuation was higher for native species (Fig. 3). These dynamics of use and importance of therapeutic categories were previously discussed by several authors. Medeiros et at [1, 19] reported that migrants can adopt two main strategies when arriving the new environment: adaptation of the ethnomedical system to the new flora of the new place and acquisition of the original plants from the original place. The authors did not focus on internal migrations within a country, but many variables discussed are similarly valid in our study. Among the possible adaptations discussed, they cite the incorporation of new plant species or new uses for known species in the migrant pharmacopeia and the replacement of plants from the original flora by species with phylogenetic proximity or that possess similar morphological, chemical, and sensory characteristics. Leonti also discusses the displacement of people and cross-cultural knowledge exchange using different concepts. The author reports that cultural interaction may alter the diversity and the importance of medicinal plants, which is detectable as continuity and disjunction or discontinuity and synchronism [32, 33]. It is important to point out that the study with migrant people has some limitations. In our study, we intended to compare the current use of medicinal plants by migrants living in a metropolitan region and the therapeutic resource they had before migrating. However, we could not measure the “latent knowledge,” which means that some species that were used in their hometowns possibly were not remembered, because they were not found in the host place or their use (indication) was no longer necessary. In this case, the number of replaced and discontinued species and recipes found in our study is possibly underestimated. Other factors can affect the chance of plants being forgotten, such as changes in the importance of certain use categories and differences in the prevalence of diseases . In our study, most of the abandonments occurred for species used as vermifuges and to treat contagious or tropical diseases; the informants related that these problems could be treated with cheap and effective allopathic medicines (vermifuges) or the diseases are uncommon in the new environment (tropical diseases). Some authors warn that it is difficult to estimate how much knowledge about medicinal plants has been lost by migrants in comparison with people from their place of origin because, in most cases, no baseline data exist . We carried out a bibliographic search in scientific databases and no ethnobotanical studies were found for the six cities of origin of our participants. Another point for consideration is the importance of certain therapeutic resources which uses are maintained by migrants, despite their displacement to regions with different biome and culture and with better access to healthcare facilities. It was not our objective to search in databases if the popular use reported by the participants was already proven by scientific studies. However, we can observe that several plants cited were evaluated in pre-clinical studies or recognized by its traditional use, but only a few species were licensed as an herbal drug in the Brazilian market. As an example, we can cite Aesculus hippocastanum (antivaricose), Ananas comosus, Eucalyptus sp. and Mikania glomerata (expectorant), and Matricaria chamomilla (anxiolytic) which popular use is related to the therapeutic category approved . In other cases, the species is licensed as an herbal product in a therapeutic category, but different popular uses are cited by the informants: Alpinia zerumbet (cited for cardiovascular use and registered as antispasmodic), Caesalpinia ferrea (employed as homemade mercury and approved as expectorant), Ginkgo biloba (used for varicose vein and approved as antivertiginous, antiplatelet agent and vasodilator), Lantana camara (cited as healing and registered as expectorant agent), Persea americana (several popular uses, but different of the registered use—anti-inflammatory), Schinus terebinthifolius (magical use and registered as anti-infective and healing agent), Syzygium aromaticum (used to treat flu and licensed as anti-dyspeptic drug), and Zingiber officinale (used to treat cough and hoarseness, but registered as antiemetic and antinauseant). As previously discussed by other authors, many factors can affect the use of medicinal plants by migrants: differences in the flora of the new environment, the access to cultivated or fresh medicinal plants, the local culture and knowledge about medicinal plants, prevalence of diseases and access to health system, media influence, among others [1, 10, 13, 15, 18, 35]. The reasons that drive the dynamics of medicinal plant use by different migrants may also depend on personal choices. The qualitative analysis of the interviews allows understanding the individual reasons that justify the maintenance, replacement, abandonment, or incorporation of certain medicinal plant uses. The migrants interviewed stated that upon their arrival in São Paulo, they looked for plants previously known in their hometowns. Most medicinal uses of species already known in their original regions were maintained at Bororé Peninsula, mainly for exotic plants or species with wide geographical distribution, as previously discussed. In many cases, native species from the Atlantic Forest (predominant biome of Esplanada, Jitaúna, and Itabuna) were also found at Bororé. On the other hand, the maintenance of species endemic to the Caatinga was difficult due to the considerable climatic difference, which made it challenging to find these species or to cultivate them in the new biome at São Paulo metropolitan region. In some cases, we observed the cultivation of plants they considered of greater importance. For instance, BA1 received from his nephew (coming from Bahia) seeds and seedlings of Amburana cearensis and Commiphora leptophloeos, both species known as emburana and employed to alleviate the symptoms of indigestion. The migrants also used to find the same species of their original regions in local emporiums, herbal houses, or street fairs, as described by other authors [36–38]. However, the interviewees prefer to avoid getting plants from these sources whenever possible, because the botanical material is generally kept in bad conditions and subjected to contamination and deterioration, as also described in other studies [39, 40]. When the migrants did not find the species from their original region, they tried to replace them with similar plants from the new region guided by different strategies: conversation with neighbors; information from popular books and local media; and observing the ingestion of plants by animals or looking for species with organoleptic characteristics similar to those of the original species, in order to reach similar effects, as also observed with other populations [18, 41–43]. In some cases, several plants were mentioned as possible options (substitutes) for the replaced plants and recipes. In our study, we observed that many species of the same genus, although recognized as different plants by the participants, were employed for the same indications: Ocimum americanum, O. basiicum, O. campechianum, and O. gratissimum (employed to treat flu) or Phyllanthus amarus, P. niruri, and P. tenellus (used as anti-inflammatory and against kidney stone). We also observed that even species from different genus and family, but sharing similar morphology or characteristics like odor and taste, are used for similar purposes, as is the case of Aloysia triphylla and Lippia alba (Verbenaceae) both known as erva-cidreira and used as a sedative/to sleep or Plectranthus barbatus (Lamiaceae) and Vernonia condensata (Asteraceae) known as boldo/boldo-do-chile and employed for hangover and indigestion. This makes sense considering that plants with close organoleptic properties have higher chance to have similar chemical constitution and that morphological and organoleptic properties are the basis for the doctrine of signature [32, 41, 44]. As previously mentioned, many species not found were from Caatinga biome and were replaced by local ones. Examples of species replaced are pimentinha (Croton betulaster), employed as anxiolytic/sedative in Novo Horizonte and replaced by pitanga (Eugenia uniflora) or são-joão (Senna spectabilis) and braúna (Schinopsis brasiliensis), employed as magical (to bless) by relatives of BA2 and replaced by alfazema (Aloysia gratissima). At the same time that some native species were replaced, in particular those endemic, other naturalized or exotic plants were incorporated. This fact can be explained by the increasing cultivation and adaptation of several exotic medicinal plants in different geographic regions, as observed to sálvia (Salvia officinalis) and camomila (Matricaria chamomilla) and by the use of teas and sachets infusions from Asian and European species, which are easily found in supermarkets, as reported by other studies carried out in different Brazilian regions [45–47]. In addition, our study suggests that the introduction of species from Bororé’s Atlantic Forest on the migrants’ therapeutic resources is slower than the introduction of exotic species often cultivated in the city of São Paulo. Moreover, some species that are currently found in the entire country were incorporated into the interviewees’ therapeutic practice only after they moved to Bororé Peninsula, as is the case of guaco (Mikania glomerata). Occasionally, the migrants’ therapeutics would include different species for the same purpose and they could maintain the use when one or more species were found in Bororé. Interviewee BA1 used both the capim-de-aruanda (Cymbopogon densiflorus) and guiné (Petiveria alliacea) to prevent black magic, but since he could not find the first species in Bororé Peninsula, he limited himself to the second one. On the other hand, we observed that the knowledge about the occurrence and medicinal properties of some plants from Bororé was not always shared among the residents. Interviewees BA3 and BA4 alleged to maintain the use of buticara (Menispermaceae—undetermined species) for toothache, collecting the plant on Bororé’s Forest, while BA1 did not find this species. Similarly, interviewee BA2 maintained the use of angico (Anadenanthera macrocarpa) as anxiolytic (“when you have a bad feeling”) and for wound treatment, while PI1 and PI2 did not find the species and discontinued its use against flu, cold, and for cardiovascular problems (blood purifying). BA1 reported to find aroeira (Myracrodruon urundeuva) at Bororé’s Forest and maintained its use to bless (magical), while PI1 did not find the species on the local Forest and changed the recipe (formula) used to prepare an expectorant syrup to treat flu and cold. The same strategies of replacement and incorporation were cited by Garcia et al. for a similar group of migrants. Vegetables and fruits often found in the migrants’ diet with attributed medicinal properties were also named. Some vegetables were already used in their hometown in either or both contexts (as food and medicine), such as lettuce (Lactuca sativa) and pomegranate (Punica granatum), employed by PI1 as a sedative and to treat sore throat, respectively. Other examples are pineapple (Ananas comosus), pitanga (Eugenia uniflora), and basil (Ocimum basilicum), employed against flu by BA1. The diet of the interviewees was altered in order to consume more vegetables classified as prophylactic or useful for the treatment of diseases acquired or detected in the new environment, as also reported in other studies [4, 5, 14, 48, 49]. An increase in knowledge about food medicines was also observed in migrants from the Dominican Republic living in New York , in agreement with our data pointing that the acquisition of vegetables (including medicinal food) in big cities may be facilitated. When we consider the category of use, we observe that several incorporations are related to pathologies that the informants claimed do not exist or be very uncommon in their hometowns. Plants reported to act as sedatives such as chamomile (Matricaria chamomilla) and erva-cidreira (Aloysia triphylla and Lippia alba) began to be used against stress because the city life imposes a greater risk to mental health, according to interviewees. However, it is likely that some diseases could not be diagnosed in their hometowns, because some diagnostics would require sophisticated laboratory tests and, at the time they moved, their hometowns did not have an adequate public health system. As an example, we can cite the cardiac hypertrophy detected in PI2 by clinical exams performed after relocation to a metropolitan area and treated with rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis). Several discontinuations occurred due to the availability of alternative therapies or allopathic medicines with low cost, as the use of mentruz (Chenopodium ambrosioides), castor oil extracted from castor beans (Ricinus communis), and batata-de-purga (Operculina macrocarpa) against worms, which were less palatable than allopathic medicines according to the interviewees, and because these medications are sold over the counter. In addition, access to basic sanitation also contributed to the decreased incidence of infectious diseases. Other plants were no longer used for some purposes (discontinuation/abandonment), and industrialized products were used in their place. As an example, we can cite pau-ferro (Caesalpinia ferrea), used by BA5 on the preparation of home mercury, or plants used to make products of personal hygiene, as juá (Ziziphus joazeiro), which bark was used by PI1 to get a dentifrice and an anti-dandruff shampoo, or birro-branco (Diptychandra aurantiaca), used by PI2 to prepare home soap in his hometown. The use of industrialized products instead of natural products may be explained possibly because the access to drugstores and industrialized products is easier in the urban metropolis, and also, due to the best economic situation and purchasing power of the migrants in relation to the time when they lived in their hometowns. According to Haselmair et al. , the continuation of the traditional medicinal health practices is challenged by increasing industrialization and globalization where the use of medicinal plants is starting to play a secondary role. Even though the interviewees had better access to drugstores, they kept the use of several medicinal plants and named some species with brand names of allopathic drugs, which suggests that the use of medicinal plants by the informants is not falling away, but being constantly modified. We can cite as an example the Novalgina (Achillea millefolium), employed as analgesic by PI1, and the insulin (Cissus verticillata) used by BA1 and BA2 to reduce the hyperglycemia. In fact, the use of active principles or brand name of drugs to name medicinal plants was previously related in other studies [18, 51]. Taken together, these reports are in agreement with previous literature showing that the use of medicinal plants in an urban context is not static and is constantly changing and adapting to the current life conditions [1, 2, 19, 32]. It is important to highlight that the seven informants, despite characterized as experts and users of medicinal plants, began to use the public health service system, since they considered the official therapeutics an additional treatment option. Access to the public system also influenced the discontinuation of plants to treat some infectious diseases, since they had access to vaccination programs. However, the interviewees declared that they kept the use of medicinal plants whenever their experiences indicated that it would be more efficacious than pharmaceutical drugs. Other studies [10, 36, 52, 53] also observed the simultaneous use of traditional and official therapeutic as a consequence of living in an urban region with easy access to drugstores and public health. In a study with Asian migrants living in the UK, up to 82% of participants who took prescription medicines did not tell their healthcare professionals about any herbal medicine they consumed . Health professionals should be aware of this concomitant treatment option, since it can alter the efficacy and safety of many drugs [38, 54, 55]. We observed cross-cultural adaptations on the migrants’ ethnomedicine after migration to a metropolitan region. Factors like the biome and occurrence of the species, prevalence of some diseases, and the local knowledge were listed as reasons to change the use of medicinal plants. The migration extended their knowledge regarding the diversity of therapies available in a big metropolis. Despite recognizing the benefits of the conventional health care, the interviewees opted for maintaining the use of certain medicinal plants, in addition to the replacement and incorporation of novel species, with slower incorporation of species from the native local forest. On the other hand, the maintenance of traditional uses by the population over time demonstrates the high cultural value of the ethnomedical application of these species, suggesting that their potential as pharmacological agents should be evaluated.

With pigs, things are not always what they seem. Even the name of the author of pigdom’s most famous text has long been uncertain. In P G Wodehouse’s early Blandings novels, the man who wrote The Care of the Pig is always referred to as Whiffle. In Galahad at Blandings, however, he becomes Augustus Whipple. This is the story in which we come closest to meeting the great man, since he writes to Emsworth asking for permission to come and photograph the Empress of Blandings. Alas, thanks to some contrivance of Galahad Threepwood, the man who arrives at Blandings purporting to be Whipple is in fact Sam Bagshott, Gally’s godson, while the real Whipple is left cooling his heels at the Emsworth Arms. In Sunset at Blandings, his last book, Wodehouse wrote the name as Whipple but then amended it to Whiffle.

. (Gibson) Devin Townsend will begin recording his new album Epicloud this week in Perth, Australia following the last date of the Soundwave festival. In an interview with this writer for Beat magazine last month, Townsend elaborated that the album would in some ways be a reaction to the complexity of his previous effort, Deconstruction. "What it is a very awesome, epic hard rock record without that depth of metaphor, that overt complexity for complexity's sake," Townsend said. "It's a bunch of really cool songs that I really like listening to that go well with summer."

Until recently, American food manufacturers were operating under regulations that hadn't changed significantly in 70 years -- and it was time to shake things up. About 48 million people get sick from foodborne diseases every year, according to data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. In 2011 -- prompted by a series of nationwide outbreaks tainting everything from cantaloupes to peanut butter -- President Barack Obama signed into law the FDA Food Safety Modernization Act, a sweeping reform of American food safety laws aimed at keeping our food supply safe by shifting the focus to prevention. The old system surrounding food safety was reactive, and went something like this: Discover a problem, investigate it, fix it, repeat. With its new rules, the FDA aims to prevent illness before it happens by anticipating, preventing, and validating during all stages of food production, from raw material production and procurement and handling to manufacturing, distribution, and consumption of the finished product. The Food Safety Modernization Act has seven provisions, including the Current Good Manufacturing Practice, Hazard Analysis, and Risk-Based Preventive Controls for Human Food -- Preventive Controls for Human Food for short. Preventive Controls for Human Food went into effect in November 2015, impacting all U.S. food manufacturers by creating new requirements for the production of food by registered food facilities -- requirements smaller food manufacturers might not totally understand, worries Larisa Pavlick, VP, global regulatory and compliance at the United Natural Products Alliance. In addition to clarifying the definition of "farm" and modernizing the FDA's longstanding current good manufacturing practice regulations, Preventive Controls for Human Food requires registered food facilities to establish and implement a food safety plan, perform a hazard analysis, and institute preventive controls for the mitigation of any hazards, says Pavlick. "This rule will provide guidance for the manufacturing, holding, and packaging of food products in the U.S., and it also applies to products being imported, if they're intended to be sold or distributed in the U.S.," she explains. As she puts it, "The new regulation is more comprehensive, and it pushes it back to the manufacturer to be responsible for the food they're presenting." The rule establishes requirements for a written food safety plan, hazard analysis, preventive controls, monitoring, corrective actions, verification, a supply-chain program, a recall plan, and record-keeping. "If there is a risk associated with a food that's being produced, the manufacturer must develop a preventive control," adds Pavlick. "The manufacturer also has to have a recall plan." The measures described above must be overseen by a Preventive Control Qualified Individual (PCQI) -- any person trained to implement the preventive controls developed through the food safety plan a company establishes. Any food company that manufactures, packages, holds, or distributes a food product using a Nutrition Facts panel is required to have a PCQI. This includes natural products and functional foods, such as protein shakes and energy bars. Dietary supplement companies are recommended to have a PCQI and are required to have a "qualified individual" to manage three portions of the new regulation. Companies and products using the Supplement Facts panel are required to be fully compliant with 21 CFR Part 111-Dietary Supplement Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP); plus 21 CFR Part 117 Subpart A, including qualification of individuals; Subpart B for GMPs above and beyond those expected in 111, including an allergen management program; and Subpart F, which outlines extensive new records requirements. These three sections are the responsibility of a "qualified individual." Some companies are worried that they'll have to go out and hire a new employee to cover the PCQI requirement. "That's not the case," Pavlick clarifies. "Somebody on staff can be trained to put together elements of the preventive control plan." For most companies, she adds, it will make sense to train multiple employees from various areas of operations as PCQIs. Preventive Controls for Human Food is a food regulation, and it impacts all products that are marketed as food, natural supplements included. Dietary products won't have to comply with every aspect of the new regulation, but they will be required to have a "qualified individual" on-site. They'll also need to be compliant with record-keeping practices and procedures designed to prevent cross-contamination with allergens. Because the Food Safety Modernization Act applies to imported products intended to be sold or distributed in the U.S., China -- a major importer of botanicals used in supplements -- will also be required to comply with the new law. What's more, any food manufacturer receiving products from overseas will have to verify that their supplier is meeting requirements. If the extra red tape seems like a pain, Pavlick asks manufacturers to consider the following argument for heightened regulation. "Chinese herbs are amazing," says Pavlick, noting that many of them cannot be grown anywhere else in the world. "There are so many botanicals coming in from Asia that they simply can't be eliminated from the supply chain." With Chinese herbs, though, experts are finding a high incidence of heavy metals, pesticides, and other contaminants due to air pollution. "We can't replace the botanicals from many areas around of the world known for their strong traditional use, but we must be aware of the potential risks specific to the various countries of origin, including regional pollution, agriculture practices, storage techniques, and the relationship of these to potential contaminants." The major regulatory shift outlined above brings heightened testing and monitoring expectations -- and, realistically, that might burden some smaller food manufacturers. The FDA did an economic impact study before it implemented its new regulations, explains Pavlick, noting, "There probably will be some impact." Preventive Controls for Human Food requires "more than most companies have done in the past with testing and monitoring," Pavlick says. In September 2016, large companies with over 500 employees were required to come into compliance with Preventive Controls for Human Food. Most remaining companies -- those designated as "small businesses" with fewer than 500 full-time-equivalent employees -- must be compliant by this September. "Very small businesses" averaging less than $1 million per year in sales have another year to sort things out, but Pavlick points out that most companies won't qualify as "very small businesses" because of inventory reporting statement in the regulation. "We've found that most of the companies out there are going to need to be compliant this year -- even some mom-and-pop shops aren't going to fall into the 'very small businesses' class," Pavlick says. While the FDA has done some outreach, it's ultimately up to the company to comply with the new regulations. "Marketing isn't the FDA's job," says Pavlick, adding, "Most companies -- we're finding -- are very surprised by the new regulations."

But Jack London was no ordinary Leftist, for he was acutely racially conscious (see, for example, “The Yellow Peril “) and had such a marked Nietzschean/Social Darwinist ethical sensibility that Ragar Redbeard’s infamous Might is Right or The Survival of the Fittest was widely, though mistakenly, attributed to him. Thus London is also a favorite writer of New Rightists and White Nationalists, particularly West-Coast White Nationalists and those who hope for the re-emergence of a racially conscious Left. The Library of America has published two handsome hardcover volumes of London’s principal works: Novels and Stories: Call of the Wild, White Fang, The Sea-Wolf, Klondike and Other Stories and Novels and Social Writings: The People of the Abyss, The Road, The Iron Heel, Martin Eden, John Barleycorn . The Portable Jack London is a well-chosen single-volume paperback selection of his writings. James L. Haley’s recent biography Wolf: The Lives of Jack London is a true tale as exciting as London’s best fiction. The best online resource on Jack London is The World of Jack London , which contains virtually all of his writings plus invaluable secondary literature.

Plasmazilla - how to build? Maui Forums › Maui Support › Software & Applications › Plasmazilla - how to build? I would like to know what you do to build Firefox against plasma. Seems like a while since an "official" update from the PPA. Just contemplating this as a hobbyist project, nothing grand. Tips? Tricks? Guidance? You around, Leszek? I'll promise to provide updates next week. In general grab the ubuntu ff package add the integration patches and upload it to plasmazilla for building. Thanks, Leszek, for all your work. Upgraded Firefox, all other updates, and everything running fine. I was asked to update my version of Firefox. Plasmazilla repositories are still at the 62 version of firefox. Did you intend to stop that service ? Will we have to turn now toward the default ubuntu version of thunderbird ? Patience please. I intend to update to version 64 which did not had the necessary patches yet. (14th December 2018, 10:37)leszek Wrote: Patience please. I intend to update to version 64 which did not had the necessary patches yet. Thanks leszek for your implication in maintaining Plasmazilla. Another case of you don't know what you got 'til its gone. Thank you again leszek for the great distro that you had created in Maui. Its a shame you are no longer able to maintain it. It really never got the recognition it deserved. But for the moment not very useful Firefox is still in the 62 version. Current time: 19th April 2019, 8:43 Powered By MyBB, © 2002-2019 MyBB Group.

You are a healer. I hold a deep belief that we have the power to heal ourselves–and others, and the world. It’s wise to use Western Medicine at times, integrative healers, massage therapists, Reiki masters, counselors, prayer, and so many more healing arts. But then, the bottom line, the real healing, the continued healing, the deep, consistent healing, is up to you. How do you do this? You make healing practices a habit. Forty consecutive days of practice allows you to create a new habit, a new way of being. Healing is using the power of our bodies, minds and hearts to clear energy blockages and visualize pure flow into being. Through my studies and certification in Wisdom Healing Qigong teaching and healing facilitation, I will work with you to develop a customized qigong practice that will serve your healing on a multitude of layers. 40 Early Mornings includes coaching and support to implement, build and maintain your daily practice, to encourage you through chi purifications, and to celebrate with you as healing is manifested in ways you likely may not have even imagined. If you are interested in hearing more or arranging an appointment, contact me: deepestvalleyqigong@gmail.com. Initial consultation free of charge, continued coaching based on a sliding scale.

I know that thee is a doc about it, but it is very buggy and doesn't seem to do the work properly (tested on v3.5.7). Did anyone tried such a thing on v3.5.x? Did such a thing worked for you? If yes I would very appriciate it if you reply with your solution. We have done this in the past but did so following that doc and though far from ideal is the only real solution. There are only two other options I'm aware of. One is integrating Crowd and determining if it's "user aliasing" features meet your needs. The other is to implement a custom authenticator for Confluence which would replace usernames on the fly as you need. However all the Confluence content would still have the original names embedded in all but the first solution - which shouldn't really matter. are local group memberships preserved when doing this migration? For older versions of Confluence, this has worked for us pretty well, but recent versions seem to discard memberships. Or maybe I'm wrong? I had to move a user from the "Confluence internal directory" to a "Delegated LDAP Authentication". The user has the same username in both directories, so I did not had to change it. What I did is: put the "internal directory" down in the list of user directories (, under the "ldap" one. And tadada, the user got migrated. There is very little side effect to the process (in our case) because the user was the only real user in the internal directory. to cut a very long story short: no, local groups were not preserved. We wrote a couple of ugly scripts and sql queries to work around it and luckily it has been working without any major issues so far.

Recently, 2K Games announced the minimum and recommended PC specs needed to run their upcoming basketball game, NBA 2K18. According to the system requirements, both the minimum and recommended specs to run the title are reasonable, especially since both specifications require Windows 7 as the minimum operating system. Additionally, the PC version of the game will take up 70GB of free space on your hard drive. Thankfully, the game is not requiring high-end PC parts to run as well as to maintain a smooth frame rate. NBA 2K18 is scheduled to release on September 19th for PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 3, Switch, Xbox One, and Xbox 360. Those who pre-order it, however, will be able to obtain the game four days early on September 15th.

I am always a busy person; I play short mat bowls several times a week and have represented my County and England, I run a Junior session for bowls, I love to swim and I am a member of Horsham Rock Choir. I use a computer as the main part of my job of Practice Manager for a charity. My problems began in 2010 when I slipped on some ice and inadvertently tried to break my fall with my left arm. I had restricted movement and upper arm nerve pain but after some physio my situation improved. In Dec 2012 I developed pain in both arms after lifting a heavy object at work. I was referred for physio in Jan 2013 when I was diagnosed with tennis elbow in my right arm and shoulder impingement/tennis elbow in the left. After some exercises my right arm improved but I had further physio in the following months for my left arm. During this time the worst aspect was the nerve pain from my elbow to my hand – no painkillers relieved it, and I was in constant pain with or without movement, even scratching my face or lifting a kettle were agony! In September 2013 when I was still in a lot of pain and had a further condition added – ulnar nerve entrapment – I was given 2 steroid injections. There was an improvement but of course the underlying problems were still there and in January 2014 there was a return of my intense pain. A further course of steroids followed, but the actual injection was excruciatingly painful and I was left with numbness in my ring finger. I was pain free until Nov 2014 when I moved a pot in the garden and experienced a twinge in my elbow, the problem was exacerbated when I used a simple screwdriver in Dec at work and I ended up in the worst pain I had had for some time. By Jan 2015 I was at the end of my tether and rather than go the NHS route saw a physio who I knew privately. She felt that my neck was also the cause of my problem plus bad posture. Her approach was more holistic and she gave me some acupressure to try and calm me down from my very distressed state. She even suggested counselling as she was concerned about my mental health as a direct result. I was at various times loaned a TENS machine, given ultrasound and massaged. She helped me address by posture and gave discussed calming techniques. She discussed with me how my mental state was affecting my pain but I was sceptical about this at the time and more or less dismissed it. There was a degree of improvement in my condition over the following month thanks to the new physiotherapist but I was still struggling day to day. During all these periods in and out of pain I have had to stop playing bowls and going swimming, use my right hand more – particularly with the mouse at work, been unable to sleep on my left side, been restricted doing the dance moves at choir, and not been able to do many day to day things that I used to take for granted. In March 2015 I attended Heathrow Airport with Horsham Rock Choir where Georgie Standage my choir leader and Richmond Stace were hosting an event for UP. I took one of the flyers and did my research via the UP website. I found the videos very interesting – in particular the one explaining how “all pain comes from the brain” (Lorimer Moseley). I took particular interest too in the mindfulness videos. But I also found the written information really useful too. Over the following weeks I used mindfulness apps and also ‘talked’ myself out of pain. When I felt pain I closed my eyes and tried to focus on other parts of my body; if I hit my weakened elbow (as I do frequently!) I told myself that it was fine, it would hurt for a while and then I’d be OK. I used Mindfulness to keep me calm and I found that my nerve pain lessened in the weeks that followed. By May I was able to resume my bowls for short periods to use my mouse at work left handed, do my Rock Choir moves without pain and return to swimming. Significantly I can sleep for periods on my left side without pain – which I haven’t done for a long time! It is now July 2015 and I have been pain free for just over 3 months–other than the odd elbow bash! I do get the occasional twinge, and very interestingly if I am stressed about anything I get a bit of nerve pain in my arm! Looking back some of the worst pain ties in with significant stressful times in my life. I am still wary and careful about exacerbating things, but importantly I feel that “yes I do have pain sometimes, but pain doesn’t have me”. I am indebted to UP for giving me my life back, and I continue to use the techniques I have learnt – in particular the Mindfulness Breathing – to keep me calm and in control.
