Cris Cyborg signs with the UFC, still expected to headline Invicta FC 13
The latest news in the UFC world is the signing of Cris “Cyborg” Justino to a contract with Zuffa, LLC. The news was made public when she issued a statement to Combate.com. Below is her statement translated from Portuguese.
"Your excuses for not facing me are falling almost as fast as you when I catch you in the Octagon. Stop accusing me irresponsibly [about being on] anabolic steroids. I’m clean! You know I passed various tests, many given by surprise. Let’s do Olympic testing, as Pacquiao and Mayweather, and you’ll have no excuse to hide behind. Lorenzo hired me, I’m back and I’m coming after you. After our fight, you or will retire and go make movies, or will escape to flyweight, as you ran away from me at featherweight You’ll never be the best until you face the best. Come, because it takes two to fight. Do not be afraid. The fans see me here and just talking. Have respect for them. It’s a shame you say you’ll face Gina Carano at featherweight and not me. Anyway, I’m coming for you. Make an effort instead of making excuses. You can have 99 excuses not to face me, but not being in the UFC is not one.”
Justino's debut in the UFC depends on when she'd make the cut to the 135pounds category. However, expect her next fight to be at 145 in Invicta, barring any last-minute changes.
Invicta FC's president Shannon Knapp in a recent interview, confirmed about Justino representing Invicta FC in the July 10th event, but said she was supportive of Cyborg fighting in the UFC for the dream fight with UFC women's bantamweight champion, Ronda Rousey. | https://www.sportskeeda.com/mma/cris-cyborg-signs-with-the-ufc-still | 2018-10-15T17:53:34 | CC-MAIN-2018-43 | 1539583509336.11 | [] |
Senegal have booked their place at next summer's World Cup after Sadio Mane starred during a 2-0 win over South Africa.
Last month, Mane had been selected in the squad despite being sidelined with a hamstring injury, but the attacker returned to play 77 minutes in Liverpool's 4-1 win at West Ham United before the international break.
The return to fitness led to Mane playing 90 minutes in Polokwane on Friday, and the 25-year-old was instrumental as Senegal reached the World Cup for the second time in their history.
Mane played in West Ham United forward Diafra Sakho for their side's first after 12 minutes, while his shot led to Thamsanqa Mkhize putting through his own net before the break.
With Senegal's progress assured, Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp will likely call for Mane to be rested for Tuesday's fixture with the same opponents in Dakar. | https://www.sportsmole.co.uk/football/liverpool/world-cup/news/mane-stars-as-senegal-reach-world-cup_311622.html | 2018-10-15T18:02:08 | CC-MAIN-2018-43 | 1539583509336.11 | [] |

The doctor of the government hospital comprehensively checked Surzo and a culture sample from his infected wound was taken to ascertain the diagnosis. The report confirmed that Surzo had got Osteomyelitis, an infection of the bone, a rare but serious condition. The doctor of the government hospital referred him to a specialised orthopedic hospital in Dhaka where the emergency department of the orthopedics hospital also analysed the culture report.
Surzo’s wound was dressed and he was given antibiotics and the doctor advised that he came back 7 days later so that he could monitor the condition of his leg. The doctor told The Sreepur Village that Surzo’s leg bone was infected and that would need to have his dressings changed on a regular basis as well as take many medicines. After a few months, the orthopedics hospital placed “metallic rings” in Surzo’s infected leg to protect his legs from coming out of place and to prevent any further damage.
Surzo returned to The Sreepur Village Clinic where he stayed in an isolated room under the care of a full-time nurse. Three times a day, the clinic staff dressed his infected wound and gave the required medicines. The clinic staff during the changing of the dressings noticed that small pieces of bone had stopped coming out from the leg.
Surzo was hospitalized for almost 3 years and every month, the clinic staff took him to the orthopedics hospital for a check-up. The doctor was satisfied with The Sreepur Village’s care and observed that gradually the damaged/infected bone was getting better.
Surzo started to walk again with the support of a wheel chair and crutches, and his hopes for starting a new life and going to school with his friends now became more possible. In December 2017, Surzo, his sister, and his mother were released from The Sreepur Village. Surzo is now at school, grade 6, and his mother works in day care.
It is with the ongoing support of our donors that The Sreepur Village Clinic can provide primary and emergency medical support to the mothers and children, like Surzo. The clinic also provides vaccines to the mothers and children for preventing diseases. For any complicated health conditions, the clinic will refer the case to bigger clinics or hospitals.
We would like to take this opportunity to thank all our supporters who help us to build brighter futures for over 400 children and 150 mothers. | https://www.sreepurvillage.org/blogs/news/rare-disease-day | 2018-10-15T17:15:06 | CC-MAIN-2018-43 | 1539583509336.11 | [] |

A probability cheat sheet is collection of different formula used in probability statistics, consolidated in one place for quick and easy reference use. It would be very difficult to memorize all the different formula you might need, and memorizing the formula would teach you little or nothing about statistics. Most professors allow the use of a probability statistics cheat sheet during exams. Learning how to work the formula is the important thing, and is difficult enough, without having to memorize the formula as well. Using a probability cheat sheet by no means assures an easy exam, and is completely useless to you if you haven’t actually learned how to work the formulas. However, taking a final exam when you don’t know exactly what type of problems you will have to solve, would be difficult if not impossible without some kind of formula reference like a statistics cheat sheet.
The benefits of a statistics and probability cheat sheet are fairly obvious for the most part. Some professors do require that you write your own. The reasoning is a student has to at least open the book to copy formula. Benefits of the cheat sheet include:
Our probability and statistics experts all have degrees in the field, and are familiar with what formulas are required at every academic level. If you found our probability cheat sheet helpful, there may be other services we provide that will benefit you when you encounter probability and statistics difficulties. When you use our service you are getting statistics homework help from an expert in the field.

SY.
The offer is priced at a 53 per cent premium to Reef's closing price on Tuesday.
One condition of the proposal is that Aquis also buys Casino Canberra, which is associated with Reef.
The biggest holders of the trust - Casinos Austria and France's Accor Group - had indicated that they would support the proposal unless there was a superior proposal, the trust added.
Aquis has started meeting with the Queensland and Australian Capital Territory governments regarding regulatory processes involved, according to the statement.
Australia's 13 casinos currently capture just one per cent of the US$34 billion (S$42 billion) market for high-roller gamblers in Asia annually, but state governments are greenlighting multibillion dollar developments to boost that figure.
Echo Entertainment Group Ltd and Crown Resorts Ltd, controlled by billionaire James Packer, are moving north as they battle for supremacy in the market. Echo unveiled plans to invest A$1.5 billion in its Queensland casinos last Friday. | https://www.straitstimes.com/business/chinese-tycoon-to-bid-for-australian-casino-business | 2018-10-15T18:30:48 | CC-MAIN-2018-43 | 1539583509336.11 | [] |
WASHINGTON • The largest United States banks would face a US$120 billion (S$168 billion) total shortfall of long-term debt under a Federal Reserve proposal aimed at ensuring their failure would not hurt the broader financial system.
Banks, such as Wells Fargo and JPMorgan Chase, will be required to hold enough debt that could be converted into equity if they were to falter, according to a Fed rule that was approved by a unanimous vote on Friday.
The proposal, along with other measures regulators have taken to avoid chaotic bank failures, "would substantially reduce the risk to taxpayers and the threat to financial stability stemming from the failure of these firms", Fed Chair Janet Yellen said in a statement.
The plan "is another important step in addressing the 'too big to fail' problem", she said.
The rule on total loss-absorbing capacity, or TLAC, is a key part of regulators' efforts to avoid another financial crisis. If US banks were to fail, investors in their stock would lose everything, but the debt would be converted into equity in a new, reconstituted bank under the plan.
The reason for the provision: When a bank fails, regulators want it to have a war chest to fund a new, healthy version of the company - hopefully without a dime from taxpayers.
It is an element of the so-called living wills banks must submit to the Fed and Federal Deposit Insurance Corp each year to map out their hypothetical demise..
Mr Jaret Seiberg, an analyst at Guggenheim Securities, said in a research note that the Fed "passed up several opportunities to be even more onerous".
The Financial Stability Board, a group of global regulators that makes recommendations to the Group of 20 nations, plans to phase in a TLAC rule requiring long-term debt of at least 16 per cent of risk-weighted assets starting in 2019 and 18 per cent by 2022, people with knowledge of the rule have said. That would broadly match the Fed's proposal. Mr".
The banks subject to the proposal are Wells Fargo, JPMorgan, Citigroup, Bank of America, Goldman Sachs Group, Morgan Stanley, State Street and Bank of New York Mellon.
The proposal is open to comments from the public until Feb 1.

Defense Trade Office Names New Directors of Compliance and Licensing
Effective Nov. 18, the State Department’s Directorate of Defense Trade Controls announced new directors of compliance and licensing.
Sue Gainor, who will serve as director of compliance, has previously worked in the Defense Security Cooperation Agency, the Joint Staff, the Defense Technology Security Agency and the Office of the Under Secretary of the Air Force for International Affairs. In the private sector she held management and analytical positions in several companies supporting the Department of Defense. She holds an M.S. in defense resource strategy, an M.A. in international affairs and a B.A. in international affairs.
Anthony (Tony) M. Dearth, who will serve as director of licensing, has been with DDTC since November 2003 when he arrived as a military service member in the Agreements Division. Upon his retirement from the Air Force in 2005, he joined the civil service team in DDTC as a senior licensing analyst and in 2007 became the chief of the Space and Missile Technology Division. In 2011 he was assigned as the chief of special projects, where his duties included coordination of DDTC implementation of USXports as the single information technology system for internal U.S. government case management of ITAR licensing under the Export Control Reform Initiative. | https://www.strtrade.com/news-publications-defense-trade-office-directors-compliance-licensing-112113.html | 2018-10-15T17:58:49 | CC-MAIN-2018-43 | 1539583509336.11 | [] |
“Sull’Appennino degli incanti. Tra santi, pastori, sibille e briganti” has become a book and will be presented on December 12 in Perugia, at 16.30 at the library Saint Matthew the Armenians. This is the latest project written by Valter Corelli, actor, writer and theater director who died prematurely last August. It is transfigured, as you can imagine and probably as it should be, in a kind of farewell, the last act of a life dedicated to the show and searching. The text, written with Massimo Liberatori, was born as a show, which was staged last year in Spello, theater Subasio. It binds to Guerrin Meschino, literary work inspired by the tradition of the romances, written at the beginning of the fifteenth century by the writer (and Italian troubadour) Andrea da Barberino. As the reference work, “Apennines of the enchantments” gives us an itinerant vision of a “suspended” territory, but especially the size of the trip as research, meditation, understanding. A dimension which – as you can read in the notes of the presentation of the book – is part of the whole in the representation “of archaic gestures and forgotten words, legendary figures and fabrications dreamy” and that privileges, then, do not look back (simplistically romantic, nostalgic), but a reflective look. A look that “makes the story, poem, song, and, again, sound, image and gesture”, and that reconsiders these forms in a positive interaction with the landscape and its stories. Through this look the authors illuminate a procedure which discounts, in a sense, the very elements, removing them from the forgetfulness and finally oblivion. To represent all of this – there is the space of the Apennines, there are characters and legendary figures, from San Francisco to Hannibal, from snake Regulu the robber Cinicchia, there is (as we said) the literary tradition and the ‘popular interpretation of this tradition through the eighth rhyme, sung by the shepherds from their heritage from the “acculturated” poetic – using all forms. Precisely the theater (with contributions from Nicol Martini) and now writing: the book contains the script of the play, which was integrated with the comics by Marco Bargagna and music by Liberatori (included in an attached CD, with the participation of Maurizio Catarinelli and Maurizio Marrani).

Just a few short days ago we had the wonderful opportunity of attending the AMA Aurora Regional Collegiate Conference held at Aurora University. The Aurora University AMA Collegiate Chapter provides professional development opportunities, training, skill enhancement, and networking opportunities with marketing professionals nationwide. This organization is highly beneficial to anyone interested in a marketing related field.
Stukent was able to present to the faculty on the different ways to improve teaching internet marketing in higher education. We shared many helpful resources including how to bundle the RealDeal Simulation, Internet Marketing Essentials, and Expert Sessions together in order to create a rock star digital marketing course!
One of the conference highlights was the RealDeal Simulation competition in which 10 universities competed. The simulation lasted roughly two hours where teams of two and three battled each other to see who could run a more profitable ad campaign. Each round lasted 30 minutes which meant that these teams had to be quick on their feet with performing competitor analysis and optimizing their owns ads and landing pages in order to out-perform each other.
The top three teams received certificates with the 1st place team being awarded $50 gift cards.

800 Guests attend Sea Owl’s delivery party in Amsterdam.
Having been recently restored to its former glory, the National Maritime Museum building – which was originally constructed in 1656 on 1800 wooden piles – is a splendid place to visit at any time. It contains a superb replica of the Dutch East India company vessel Amsterdam and an unrivalled collection of maritime artifacts. The museum is also home to a number of Feadship models, but the best reason of all for the owners to choose this spot to take official delivery of their Feadship was the stylish location it provided for them to treat the workforce. .”

Registration_payment CME Registration Payment $0.00 How will you attend? Attendee (+$100.00)Trainee/Injector (+$150.00)RN or Office Staff (+$30.00)Industry (see CME guidelines) (+$400.00) Continuing Medical Education Guidelines CEJA Releases New Report on Industry Relationships with CME The American Medical Association's Council on Ethical and Judicial Affairs has released a new report, 1-A-09 Financial Relationships with Industry in Continuing Medical Education, to be introduced at the AMA's Annual House of Delegates meeting in June. The report can be accessed on the AMA's website here. The report differs dramatically from the one issued last year, most notably by eliminating the recommendation to ban industry support of CME completely. Instead, this report makes a distinction between what is ethically preferable, permissible and prohibited. It is ethically preferable that: "CME providers accept funding only form sources that have no direct finacncial interest in a physician's clinical recommendations and that that those involved in CME have no current, recent or potential direct financial interest in the subject matter and are not currently/have not recently been involved in a compensated relationship with a commercial interest in the educational subject matter." However, the council recognizes "... that this ethical ideal cannot feasibly be implemented for all professional education". In certain situations, interaction with persons or organizations with a conflict can be ethically permissible. These situations include: CME providers accept funding from industry sources if the following conditions are met:a. the educational activity is planned by the provider based on needs identified independent of and prior to solicitation or acceptance of the funding; andb. the use of the funding is not restricted in any way; andc. the source of the funding is clearly disclosed; andd. the CME provider is not overly reliant on funding from industry sources. CME providers permit individuals who have modest financial interests in the educational subject matter to program, develop content for, or teach in CME activities if the following conditions are met:a. the existence and magnitude of any financial interests are clearly disclosed; andb. steps are taken to eliminate or mitigate the potential influence of those interests. CME providers permit an individual who currently has a direct, substantial, and unavoidable financial interest in the educational subject matter (e.g., as the inventor of a new device) to program, develop content for, or teach in a CME activity only if the following conditions are met:a. the individual is demonstrably uniquely qualified as an expert in the relevant body of knowledge or skills; andb. participants are clearly informed about the nature and magnitude of the individual’s specific financial interest in the subject matter; andc. there is a demonstrated, compelling need for the specific CME activity in the professional community that cannot otherwise be met; andd. steps are taken to mitigate the potential influence of the unavoidable financial interest to the greatest extent possible; ande. every effort is made to develop a pool of qualified, independent experts as quickly as possible. If none of these conditions are met the financial relationship would be deemed ethically prohibited. It is clear that great time and effort was put into this report (Over 35 references, plus a supplemental report) and the council did take the concerns of stakeholders into consideration | https://www.sweathelp.org/treatments-hcp/clinical-guidelines/hyperhidrosis-treatment-algorithms/126-hcp-category/278-registration_payment.html?tmpl=component&print=1&page= | 2018-10-15T17:28:03 | CC-MAIN-2018-43 | 1539583509336.11 | [] |
SWINDON produced a stirring second-half comeback to claim a 3-2 win at Port Vale having been two goals down at the break.
Nile Ranger and Alex Pritchard hauled the visitors level before Nathan Byrne bundled home the winner.
Mark Cooper made four changes to the starting line-up. Alex Pritchard, Nathan Byrne and Michael Smith were all restored to the side whilst there was also a start for Troy Archibald-Henville alongside Darren Ward in the centre of defence.
Town made the early running and after a flurry of corner, Pritchard steered Nathan Thompson’s cross wide. Massimo Luongo also registered an effort off target.
With 20 minutes gone and with Swindon on control of proceedings, the home side snatched the lead. Doug Loft popped up inside the 18-yard box to stab the home side in front, converting Myrie-Williams’ low ball in.
Michael Smith and Pritchard both saw their respective efforts go wide of goal before the home side capitalised on Town’s failure to clear their lines by doubling their lead. This time, it was Tom Pope who gleefully accepted the opportunity and netted despite Wes Foderingham’s best effort to keep it out.
Two goals down at half time, Swindon began their comeback just six minutes after the break. Pritchard’s clipped ball to the back post picked out Nile Ranger who slammed home from close range. With the wind in their sails, Swindon kept pouring forward on the counter: Ranger cracked a shot off the crossbar having been put clean through before Michael Smith struck the upright with a rising drive from the edge of the area.
Having set up the first goal, Pritchard levelled matters with an exquisitely-taken free-kick. Having been fouled on the left-hand corner of the area, the midfielder picked himself up and curled a delicious free-kick into the top corner.
Just four minutes later, Swindon completed the comeback with another breakaway goal. The ball was fed through to Smith who, in turn, drilled a low cross towards the arriving Nathan Byrne at the far post. Despite seeing his initial effort kept out, the full-back prodded the ball home on the goal-line to send the away support into raptures.
As the conditions worsened and the rain and wind picked up, Swindon could have added to their lead but Luongo’s shot was cleared off the line and debutant Jacob Murphy forced Vale ‘keeper Neal into a smart save.

THE HAGUE–Dutch State Secretary of Kingdom Affairs, Raymond Knops is unpleasantly surprised by the ruling in the “Corallo versus the Netherlands” case and.
Ronald van Raak of the Socialist Party (SP) mentioned the ruling by the European Human Rights Court. On Tuesday the court condemned the inhumane detention of casino boss Francesco Corallo when he was held in the police station in St. Maarten. The court awarded the Italian businessman 5,000 euros in immaterial damages and 5,500 euros in court expenses.
Van Raak demanded a guarantee that the Dutch government would not pay 5,000 euros to a “crook,” but also asked about the ruling.
“It is not the Kingdom but the Netherlands that received a fine. This is remarkable, as this means that, according to the court, the Netherlands has a higher status than the individual Kingdom countries,” Van Raak said.
André Bosman of the Liberal VVD party said the ruling is another example of unclear responsibilities within the Kingdom. “This is what I talked about on Tuesday. Minister of Justice Cornelius de Weever is leaning back and waiting for this to become our responsibility. This minister is not worthy of being a minister. Justice and law enforcement clearly have no priority in St. Maarten. Maybe the prime minister of St. Maarten should be invited to the Rijksministerraad,” Bosman said.
“I am unpleasantly surprised about the ruling,” Knops said. He said it is also unclear to him why the European Human Rights Courts fined the Netherlands and not the Kingdom in this case. “Together with my colleagues of Justice and Foreign Affairs we are seeking how to interpret this ruling, which might have consequences,” he said. He added that the Dutch in general respect rulings by the court, but that the bill would be passed on to St. Maarten.
Knops also said that while Prime Minister Leona Romeo-Marlin was welcome to attend Kingdom Council of Ministers meetings, there was no immediate need to do so. “I have addressed the issue of the law enforcement many times during meetings with Romeo-Marlin and with the minister of justice of St. Maarten. Everybody agrees that there is too little progress. I will continue to stress this,” he said.
Knops advised against a motion by Member of Parliament (MP) Roelof Bisschop of the reformed SGP party, who asked to keep Dutch cells available for prisoners in St. Maarten and in the meantime help to repair and improve the Pointe Blanche prison. Knops said it should be clear that law enforcement, including the prison, is the responsibility of St. Maarten. However, the Dutch government supports St. Maarten in drafting a concrete plan for the prison.
With regard to St. Maarten’s recovery, Knops repeated that durable repairs require solid plans and therefore more time. He mentioned waste management as an example. “However, I have asked the World Bank to speed up procedures where possible and will continue to stress this,” he said.

If you like bench pressing more than jogging on a treadmill, give this workout challenge a shot.
Bench Press & Chin-Up Challenge
- Add your bodyweight to a barbell for the bench press portion. Superset the bench press with chin-ups for 5 reps each.
- Do 8 total sets of each exercise. Rest when needed between the sets to maintain form.
- You have 10 minutes to complete the total 16 sets (8 sets of bench, 8 sets of chin-up). If you're unable to complete it in 10 minutes, stop and record your total number. Beat that number next time.
Note: Make sure you're proficient in both lifts. Since you'll experience fatigue, have a spotter present on the bench press. | https://www.t-nation.com/training/tip-bench-press-to-lose-fat | 2018-10-15T17:22:54 | CC-MAIN-2018-43 | 1539583509336.11 | [] |
Hi, I'm mainly a drummer but have played bass guitar for over 20 years, some of that time professionally. However, I'm totally new to double basses and have only played them a few times. What are some good basses for a beginner who will mostly be playing jazz and an amateur level? Are those really cheap ones on eBay worth considering? I would be interested in one that's as affordable as possible and is fairly durable. Also, any recommended books for DB beginners interested in playing jazz? (I don't know the positions or anything and can just barely read music for bass guitar.) Thanks a lot. | https://www.talkbass.com/threads/bass-and-instruction-for-newbie.185824/ | 2018-10-15T18:32:07 | CC-MAIN-2018-43 | 1539583509336.11 | [] |
SOLD * SOLD * SOLD* For sale is my 1974 Ampeg V4 head. This is the last year that the SERIES 1 was released and it has been completely restored with new tolex, grillcloth, faceplate, all USA tubes (NOS or tubes that test as new) and all new filter caps. Matched quartet of 7027A output tubes. This head looks and works as new. Yes, I am asking quite a bit more than alot of the old ones that you may have seen for sale but countless hours of labor and every component that tested out of spec was replaced with USA equivalents that meet or surpass the originals. This amp has NO issues and is ready to play for another 35 years. It is now a true "time machine". asking $999.00 + actual shipping. {} for more pics and info, go here: | https://www.talkbass.com/threads/for-sale-1974-ampeg-v4-head.535330/ | 2018-10-15T18:34:11 | CC-MAIN-2018-43 | 1539583509336.11 | [] |
It is MWAC Monday, and you will find Running with Virtue there. It begins with…
Yesterday marked a goal realized for me; it was the first time I ran The Honolulu Marathon.
Having never done a marathon before, my goal was to run a half; 13.1 miles (or 21.08km if that’s your preferred measurement). Not something the event officially offers; your choices are a quarter-marathon (10k) or the whole thing, and so pursuing my goal meant that once I reached the 13.1 miles I’d set my eye on I had to get back to the finish…
Rosa,
Thank you for featuring Fired Up or Burned Out on your virtual book shelf. I hope you’re enjoying it and I look forward to hearing your reaction, especially to the 20 stories of great leaders throughout history who created Connection Cultures.
Just to mention it, if any of your blog readers want a “taste” of Fired Up or Burned Out, they can download the free ebook I wrote for Changethis.com about Connection Cultures and the competitive advantage of connection. Here’s the link:
I hope you are well and thriving.
With best wishes,

In 2010 , several new songs have been added and the results have been glorious.
In the Big Apple's, The Highline Ballroom served up a set list filled with new covers spanning several decades.
Taylor is truly an "old soul” but he is also eclectic in his musical tastes. In New York at the Highline Ballroom he provided the audience with the 1959 tune by Buddy Holly ""; two 1970 's hits "LOVE THE ONE YOU'RE WITH" ( 1970 BY Stephen Stills ) " AIN'T GONNA HURT NOBODY " ( Brick's 1978 release ) and "BULLETPROOF" a modern day ( 2009 ) number from La Roux. Clovis, New Mexico, on May 29, 1957.
This was one of the first pop songs to feature the "Bo Diddley" sound, a series of beats (da, da, da, da-da da) popularized by Diddley, ( It is also known as the "shave and a haircut, 2 bits" and "hambone beat". Willie and the Hand Jive, Louie, Louie, Help Me Rhonda are but just a few other songs with clave, the basis of Cuban music, "salsa" and Latin jazz as well as other Caribbean music
The song's rhythm pattern is one of the classic examples of the Bo Diddley beat, which itself was an update of the so-called "hambone" rhythm, or "patted juba" from Western Africa; Crickets drummer Jerry Allison pounded out the beat on a cardboard box. Allison, Holly's best friend, also claims to have written part of the lyrics, though his name never appeared in the songwriting credits. The only other person on the recording was rhythm guitarist Nikki Sullivan, who didn't play but simply chanted, along with Holly and Allison, the songs overdubbed background vocals
While this song is pretty straight forward, a comment from Dressed2Depress states:
"Great song. So many band s have covered and reworked this song, I'm pretty sure The Who based My Generation on this... Great opening line.." Was this opening line that great or was the lyrist just looking for a words that would rhyme. Rhyming was a big part of songs in that era and lyrics were not as deeply symbolic. The obvious "me man, you woman" aspect of this first line would probably not be written today. HHHMm
This song has been covered by a multitude of artists from the Rolling Stones whose 1964 version was their first US single to the Grateful Dead, James Taylor, The Supremes who recorded it in 1964 but released it in 2008 on an album collection, the Everly Brothers, to The Beatles, who being avid fans of Buddy Holly recorded an unreleased version of Not Fade Away.
Rush in 1973, recorded the single , but because this song was never officially released on CD., it is rare and highly sought-after by collectors you're drivin' me back
Your love for me has got to be real
For you to know just how I feel
Love is real and not fade away
Well love is real and not fade away
I'm gonna tell you how it's gonna be
You're gonna give your love to me
Love to last more than one day
Well love is love and not fade away
Well love is love and not fade away
Well love is love and not fade away
Love, love is love and not fade away
Not fade away
Not fade away

Never go full Steve Harvey.
An MMA ring announcer called out the wrong winner of a fight at Alaska Fighting Championship 139 on Wednesday night in Anchorage, an event that aired on UFC Fight Pass.
The announcer stopped midway through one fighter’s name when he thought he was calling out the wrong man. He then corrected himself — “excuse me, my bad!” — repeatedly.

I love the smell of the detergent and I could immediately smell it on my clothes as soon as I took them out of the washer. Even after the laundry was completely done I could still smell the Moonl...see moreof the reviewer's review

I liked the smell of Gain Moonlight Breeze, but that was about it. I didn't make me want to change from my other detergent. Giving it a 3 star because the smell was nice and I couldn't really tell if my clothes were cleaner with just one wash.

Tranced is the story of an esteemed and controversial hypnotherapist who uncovers a horrible, repressed memory from a patient--an African genocide. Torn between the doctor/patient trust ethic and the profound implications of the event, the doctor decides to bring the event to the attention of a reluctant U.S. government, only to find that truth is a matter of perception and political expedience. The play raises questions regarding who controls the truth in a delicate international political arena.

Merrimack Repertory Theatre in Lowell, Massachusetts - February 12-March 8, 2009
“Layered with provocative ethical questions, the play leaves us thinking even after it ends. Its topicality engenders reflection, as good theatre should.”

Clinical study description and results:500 clinical specimens were analysed,of which 300 were HBV positive specimens and 200 were HBV negative specimens when tested by artus® HBV TM PCR Kit. The EliGene® HBV RT Kit and EliGene® HBV UNI Kit diagnosed 229 specimens as HBV positive . 1 specimen from Nigeria was determined by the EliGene® HBV RT Kit and EliGene® HBV UNI Kit as negative. The sensitivity and specificity of EliGene® HBV RT Kit and the EliGene®HBV UNI Kits is 98.78% and 100%, respectively. EliGene® HBV RT Kit and the EliGene® HBV UNI Kit shows 99.8% (499 from 500 specimens) correlate with the detection of HBV DNA as determined by artus® HBV TM PCR Kit. 100% sensitivity can be declared for both kits for the concentration of 5IU/ml of serum corresponding to concentrationof 0.1 IU/ml of isolated specimen by Magneto 1ml Serum/Plasma DNA/RNA isolation kit - extraction volume: 1.0ml, elution volume: 50?l. The linear range of the EliGene® HBV RT Kit and EliGene® HBV UNI Kit has been determined to cover concentrations from 0.1IU/?l to at least 1 x 105 IU/?l.
Pathogen description: Hepatitis B virus is a small DNA virus assigned to Hepadnaviridae family. Eight different genotypes, signed by alphabetical letters A to H, have been previously described. Since the proposal of the four described genotypes (A-D), four others (E-H) have been characterised during the two last decades. Recently, a ninth "genotype" evidenced in North-West China, India, Lao and Vietnam and tentatively termed "I" was suggested, although it is still subject to debate andmay be a recombinant strain with a genotype C backbone. Finally, very recently, a tenth genotype provisionally assigned to genotype "J" was proposed for a Japanese patient's HBV isolate.
Hepatitis B (HB) is transmitted by the exchange of body fluids e.g. blood, semen, breast milk and saliva. The virus spreads between people who have unprotected sexual intercourse, drug users who share needles and syringes and health care workers in contact with potentially contminated blood or body fluids.
It is estimated that one third of the world's population has serological evidence of past or present infection with HBV and that 350 to 400 million people are still chronically infected, of whom 78% live in Asia, 16% in Africa, 3% in South America and the remaining 3% in Europe, North America and Oceania.
HBV infection has a broad spectrum of clinical diseases, ranging from acute hepatitis (including fulminant hepatic failure) to a low viraemic asymptomatic "inactive" carrier state or to progressive chronic hepatitis that may lead to cirrhosis with an annual rate of 2 to 5% in HBe-positive patients and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) with a cumulative 5-year incidence of 15 to 20%. Both HBV-related end-stage liver disease and HCC are responsible for around 1 million deaths per year.

There is a social network specially designed for seniors and it’s called Stitch.
This social network is for those over 50 years old, and it is all about companionship. It helps its members to find new friends, a partner, or to explore new activities they can try.
Stitch which is headquartered in Australia is available for free, but there is also premium membership that costs $60 per year. Premium membership gives the users additional features such as member-to-member phone calls, unlimited profiles views, and more. About 10 % of those who sign up turn to premium membership.
Stich cofounder Marcie Rogo described Stitch as “a unique and vibrant social network with the ability to meet other like-minded people through member-driven group activities, travel, and one-on-one companionship.”
According to TechCrunch, this social network has more than 20,000 active members, and more than 50 active communities. Independent.ie reported the company recently released the data that shows many of those who signed up seek for romance. But, Stitch is more than just a dating site, because many members host all kinds of group events, such as trivia nights or wine tasting.

Ever wonder what it’d be like to sit amongst the orchestra at The Metropolitan Opera? Short of becoming a professional violinist, your chances of getting on stage are slim to none. So leave it Google to fill that gap, allowing anyone with a computer to experience what’s it’s like to be in the middle of a blaring symphony. Live music not your thing? You can also see what it’s like to be among the Royal Shakespeare Company, or dance with some of the world’s most talented ballerinas—all from the comfort of your home.
The Google Cultural Institute on Tuesday announced a new partnership with 60 performing arts institutes around the world, bringing live-performances and concerts to audiences by utilizing YouTube’s support for 360-degree video. You have yet another reason to pick up Cardboard, which is the easiest and most affordable way to experience VR. I’ve been glancing through the different VR experiences, and they’re quite enthralling.
The Google Cultural Institute has been highlighting visual arts for several years now, and dabbling in 360-degree video seems like a natural step. By using the smartphone in your pocket and a piece of cardboard, VR is becoming much more accessible, and since not everyone has the dough to visit places like Carnegie Hall or the Battersea Arts Centre, Google’s latest partnership brings the world of performing arts to your doorstep.
This isn’t true VR in the way Oculus or HTC Vive is. But it’s still an immersive way to experience the world. Who knows, it might inspire you to visit one of these theaters, or work to become part of the orchestra people at home watch through 360-degree video.

The speculation that we reported on this morning that Microsoft and Yahoo had finally sealed a deal to work together has now been confirmed.
Under the terms of the agreement, Microsoft will power Yahoo search while Yahoo will become the sales force for both companies' search advertisers.
As a result, some of Yahoo's search employees will move to Microsoft, some will be moved to other areas of Yahoo's business, and others will face redundancy.
The deal comes over a year after Yahoo's co-founder and then CEO Jerry Yang rebuffed a $47.5 billion bid for the company from Microsoft, earning the wrath of many of the company's shareholders., who in a subsequent conference call said he expected opposition from that very same single company - Google.
."
Yahoo's new role
As well as selling ads across both search sites, Yahoo will now focus on its "core business of providing consumers with great experiences with the world's favourite online destinations and web products," according to a press release from Microsoft.
This deal "establishes the foundation for a new era of internet innovation and development," added Yahoo CEO Carol Bartz, while, according to Roy Bostock, Chairman of Yahoo Inc, fitting "the long-term strategic direction of Yahoo to remain the world's leading online media company."
The agreement, which will last 10 years and is expected to be finalised in early 2010, does not cover each company's web properties and products, email, instant messaging, display advertising or any other aspect of the companies' businesses. In those areas, the press release states, "the companies will continue to compete vigorously."
"This is a significant opportunity for us. Microsoft is an industry innovator in search, and it is a great opportunity for us to focus our investments in other areas critical to our future," Bostock concluded. | https://www.techradar.com/news/internet/microsoft-and-yahoo-tie-up-terms-announced-620943 | 2018-10-15T18:31:12 | CC-MAIN-2018-43 | 1539583509336.11 | [] |
There is no Max function, amazingly. You can do it using an Excel worksheet function or Access SQL. VBScript functions are even more limited, see the following:
The url does not work - I did take the blanks out of it and, via a text editor, get it all on one line.
You can insert a module in the VBA environment and define your own functions, and the use you own functions as if they were VBA functions, like this
Function MyMax(x As Double, y As Double) As Double
Dim retval As Double
If x > y Then
retval = x
Else
retval = y
End If
MyMax = retval
End Function
Good luck !
This is the kind of thing I have been doing myself, except that I did not have the intermediate variable retval.
max and min
Def max(x,y): if x>y then x else y fi
Are these things really in VBA and if so how do I access them?

Matt Garbutt. You can find them on Twitter on @ArtMonkeyMG
So, without further ado, let us introduce Rampant Rudy!
This weeks image was submitted by artist Matt Garbutt, @ArtMonkeyMG ; if you have artwork that you would like to submit just send us a link on twitter, facebook or email!
Rampant Rudy
Rampant "Rudella" Rudy is a ranger charged with guarding the roads and travelers of the swamps south of Untherlass. She has a dire flamingo called Splenditello. The two make a bizarre couple in normal circumstances, but when the battle is joined the two dance together as one, and any feelings of incredulity regarding their partnership give way to awe - and terror, depending on what side you're on.
Rudella was trained by Elven Swamp folk and met Splenditello at an early age.
"SPLENDITELLO!!!" A young Rudy yelled, splashing heedlessly into the water to reach her beloved friend. The great flamingo lept back from her at the last moment, not wanting to be muddied, which made her lose footing and slip and fall in the water. There was a playful look in Splenditellos' eye as she got up, then fell over again. She was rather clumsy when the elves weren't testing her in battle.
The flamingo gracefully reached out with one of his legs and tapped her on the forehead. Rudy closed her eyes and linked with him, experiencing the world as he did, and suddenly wanted to dance. She looked up at him and said excitedly "Lets dance!".
To Rudy's horror Splenditello fell into the muddy water suddenly, red feathers that were not his sprouting from his neck. A dart.
Without thinking she picked up Splenditello and ran. He was heavier than he looked, but she was big and strong from the training the elves put her through every morning. She looked at her and saw a man raising firing another blowdart. It was fast but she was faster, she rolled on to her back to dodge the incoming projectile, making sure not to injure Splenditello and continued running.
She was scared for her friend and did not know what to do, but her body acted on its own and she soon found herself back at her camp. She applied an antidote mixture the elves had taught her to his wound.
She picked up her bow and hid in the reeds listening. She thought she saw about 7 people behind the one that had attacked her. She readied her great elkhorn bow. When she saw them she fired 3 arrows felling one man, injuring one and hitting the shield of another.
On they came, rushing towards her camp. There were 5 now. She fired another arrow, deftly unstrung her bow swung it around to crack into the head of a man with a pockmarked face, laying him low.
She spun it around again, in the fluid combat style the elves had taught her and crushed the neck of another. She felt a read hot pain in her right thigh, and yelled, reeling back. She was then knocked down and pinned by one man. Another ran past her towards Splenditello. She had her knife in her hands but didn't pause to wonder how it had gotten there as she slashed at the legs of the one running to no doubt kill her friend.
He fell over shrieking with a nearly severed foot. She turned to look at the attacker pinning her to the ground, but only saw a rock as he brought it down on her head. She knew no more.
She came to later, elven singing around her, her vision blurred, but she could make out Splenditello standing over her. She was dazed and could barely think. Had the elves had saved her and Splenditello?
No, that wasn't singing, but shrieking of the men on laying injured on the ground - and she was still in the camp. Blinking, her vision now un-blurred she looked closer at Splenditello.
His thin feet were read and dripping blood, but uninjured. His beak was dripping blood. In fact, the once pink flamingo was now entirely red. A deft foot flicked out, spearing through the forehead of the shrieking man.
Rudy made contact with the elves once more but was told her time with them was done. So Rudy and Splenditello traveled to Untherlass and became caravan guards for merchants and travelers trying to brave the few roads through the swamp. - JACK

It has been an incredible season already for Leicester. Striker Jamie Vardy set a new record by scoring in 11 consecutive league games and received an England call-up and following a great run of form that has seen the team lose only to Arsenal and Liverpool, Leicester sit top of the table.
This run has led to many fans daring to dream that their team can win the title. Regardless of whether this happens or not, Leicester City’s success has been great for the city as a whole. There has naturally been an increased media interest in the team, which puts the spotlight on the city itself. Not only this, but it is highly likely that Leicester will be competing in European football competitions next season, with some of the biggest stars in the game potentially coming to the King Power Stadium, which will inevitably draw in the crowds.
Businesses in and around Leicester could also be benefitting from these increased crowds. Cafes, restaurants and bars could see more football fans needing food and drink before the match, and shops can also benefit in a similar way. Not only that, but by Leicester City’s success being shown on almost every news bulletin, there is a chance that fans could come back to Leicester for a day out.
The feel-good factor caused by Leicester’s amazing season is also great for the city. There is a renewed sense of pride from the people of Leicester in their football team, which spreads to the city as a whole. Just take the 30 000 or so fans that fill the King Power Stadium cheering their team on. The community spirit within the stadium is reflected out in the streets.
No matter what happens this season, Leicester City FC’s accomplishments will live long in the memory of the fans and the city. Here’s to next season, when the Foxes could well be defending the Premier League crown! | https://www.thebestof.co.uk/local/leicester/community-hub/blog/view/why-the-foxes-success-is-great-for-the-city/ | 2018-10-15T17:30:00 | CC-MAIN-2018-43 | 1539583509336.11 | [] |

voices, learning how to modulate their impact by listening for the voices around us, and inviting them in. It’s an easy place to begin because we each have the voice God’s given us, and it is unique.
People from all walks of life attend my workshops, and singing in groups can be fraught. When we sing in a group, we can’t hide. We epitomize vulnerability. Even the finest orator can grow faint when asked to step out of their comfort zone, sit next to a not-yet-friend and sing something new. The first question I ask in every group is this: “How many of you think you don’t sing very well?” Usually, between 25-50% of the people present raise their hands, yet they have shown up to a singing workshop! I thank them for coming, remind the whole group that it’s pretty darn brave to come, and remind the people who think they are good singers to step outside of their comfort zones so that they might learn something, too.
When it’s easy to share your voice, the responsibility to listen for the voices of others deepens. Good singers tend to want to jump right in because they’re comfortable. But if we stay in our comfort zones, we don’t learn much—that’s why they’re our comfort zones. No thinking involved! And I ask them to be present to their automatic habits,to try and question where they’re coming from, and occasionally co-lead for the sake of the group.
Next we hum together on two notes. Humming has proven to be the safest place to begin. It’s easy to most of us to find a place in the circle, and breathing together slows us down. As we slow down, our hearts entrain, and we notice that beauty and calm begin to appear.
Then comes the first of many long silences that last as long as the group decides it will be. That’s when the magic begins. There’s no talking or looking around in this decision. We listen for the sweet spot where we all just stop. Together.
We learn to hold space for one another, and even to sing songs we don’t care for, secure in the knowledge that someone else will do the same for us. We share long silences, breaks, and lunch for relationship building. Sometimes, we notice that giving and receiving are essentially the same and that trying to separate them is like trying to decide which is more important, breathing in or breathing out. By the end of the day we find that we have been changed—either by what we notice, or by the sheer beauty that blossoms as we learn to trust the wisdom of the group.
We are the ones we‘ve been waiting for. The extent to which we’re able to create beloved communities begins in learning to manage the stories we tell ourselves and our emotional landscape The stories we tell ourselves about our needs and wants are natural, but when we grasp at them as if they define our identity, and show up with our deeply held opinions before we’ve listened for ways they might fit into the community, we tend to hear only what affirms our story. MIT innovation scholar Otto Scharmer calls this level of listening “Downloading.” Scharmer describes downloading as “— listening by reconfirming habitual judgments.” He continues, “When you are in a situation where everything that happens confirms what you already know, you are listening by downloading.” Scharmer’s next level is open mind, where we listen for facts and things that are are different than what we think we know. He speaks of Charles Darwin carrying a notebook in his pocket to keep track of disconfirming data, the things that didn’t fit his theories. Darwin understood that the brain tends to forget the things that don’t support our story. This is the level of listening that supports debating, which used to be based on facts.
Many people show up to church expecting the same things to happen most of the time, but that’s not how God seems to show up in my experience. Like many of us, I’ve been noticing some movement in the ways people are finding new ways of being church, and music has no small part in this. Indeed, music helps many people to move from mere downloading, and gathering up factual details, to what Scharmer describes as generative listening.
Scharmer’s third level of listening is empathic, or open-hearted listening. As empathic listeners, “we are engaged in real dialogue and paying careful attention” that allows us to “feel a profound switch as we enter a new territory in the relationship; we forget about our own agenda and begin to see how the world appears through someone else’s eyes. This leads us to Generative listening, which becomes possible on the basis of empathic listening so that we are able “to access not only our open heart, but also our open will — our capacity to connect to the highest future possibility that can emerge. We no longer look for something outside. We no longer empathize with someone in front of us. We are in an altered state.” Scharmer likens this “altered state” to “communion” or “grace,” and it is at the core of what music can bring to a community of faith.
Generative listening is the level at which we become willing to make space for one another, to enter the relationship so deeply that we are willing to be changed by one another, even to the extent of changing what we hold dear to create a new community based on including absolutely everybody. As you might imagine, this is deep work and can be made easier through practice. Singing is the ideal gathering for this work.
In some places, people are discerning ways to shift entrenched communities by growing new communities right alongside existing congregations. This takes study and work, often with a different focus from the original community, and by inviting and encouraging the people to plan and lead the community in innovative ways. At Emmanuel Episcopal Church in Newport, RI, the Saturday Morning Chanting Group is following this alternative path. The group is “open to all voices, all people, all religions and all forms of spirituality … Through the power of sound our group is deeply connected on a nonverbal level. The silence between the chants is when you experience healing. As we focus on opening our hearts we can feel God’s divine presence within the circle. We come together in loving friendship and sound out in a loud voice the song of love that is in our hearts.”
And, the chanting group at Emmanuel has had a concrete impact in the community, enabling them to raise $2,356 for a meal program.
Does this count as church? You bet it does. Amen.
Last November I was part of a really beautiful evening in San Francisco, where about twenty of us came together at St. Aidan’s Episcopal Church to share a meal, write chants to sing at marches, and make signs to bring along. Some cooked, others drew signs, and some made up chants until we were happy with them. There was space enough for all to create and also to encourage one another—all in the same room. Possibility is everywhere.
Not So Churchy, a Presbyterian community in NYC, founded by Mieke Vandersall, meets twice a month, once for a liturgy and once for a workshop, retreat, or service project. The most distinctive aspects of Not So Churchy (NSC) are the relationships and the sweetness I encounter when I play with them. Mieke understands that we need places “to explore and improvise and be able to play with our experience of the divine.”
Not So Churchy treats “Love one another” as a creative task to be engaged in and discerned by the community together, and not just by the leadership, or the adults. LGBTQ members are included in the leadership alongside straight allies, and whoever else walks in the door. NSC uses the Slack App to keep in touch, share insights, prayer requests, and announcements. Show up on Monday evening to find chocolate, seltzer, coloring books, and gluten free banana bread for all— and of course, tons of music!
Emmanuel, St. Aiden’s, and NSC are all communities grounded in generative listening. To what can we attend more deeply in our own communities to practice together to co-create beloved community more richly? Ask one another! Then listen from the heart—beyond convention, beyond gathering facts—to hear “an even deeper realm of emergence” in your community. Then make something together! If your church is full of artists, make and teach art! If it’s full of gardeners, plant, tend, and sow together! If the folks in Anchorage Alaska’s Hope Lutheran Church can pull off a food garden to share fresh vegetables with neighbors in need, what are the rest of us waiting for?
As we learn to listen and hold space for what we hear in one another’s hearts, we’ll learn to call each one by their true names, also opening ourselves to share what makes it possible for us to be called by our true names. To join with one another to co-create the communities we ache for takes curiosity, slowing down, and remembering that we’re all just walking each other home.
Dominican nuns have given us a beautiful chant to help us move into this generative reality:
We come to join in
the banquet of love,
let it open our hearts
and break down the fears
that keep us from loving each other.

PARAGOULD — The zombie apocalypse has not begun. But patrons of downtown Paragould may think that is the case next weekend when zombies take over Main Street.
According to Gina Jarrett, executive director of Main Street Paragould, the town’s first ever Zombie Walk will take place Oct. 27.
"We’ve been talking about it for two years and decided to do it," Jarrett said.
Jarrett said participation would be open to any adult or child. The cost for an adult to take part in the walk is $3, while children 12 years and under may participate for only $1. Registration begins at 6:30 p.m. and the walk will commence at 7:30.
The funds collected would benefit the community, Jarrett said.
"It benefits Main Street Paragould," Jarrett said. "This will help us do other things throughout downtown."
Leisa Rae, social media director for the Zombie Walk, said the event would likely have a large turnout.
"Currently, we have 561 Facebook fans," Rae said. "If we get half of that, we will be extremely satisfied."
With such a large number of zombies flooding downtown, Rae said zombie control would be important.
"We’re going to have a few officers there to handle crowd control," she said.
Rae said individuals who journey downtown should expect to see the unexpected.
"Don’t freak out because it’s not the end of the world...yet," Rae said.
Local businesses are taking part in the Zombie Walk, as well.
"Red Goose Deli will have the Blood Red Room ready for zombies after 6:30," she said. "Several downtown restaurants said they will welcome zombies."
Jarrett said she was aware that some residents did not agree with the zombie-themed event taking place next weekend. Some had even voiced that disagreement in public forums. She had a message for those individuals.
"Don’t come downtown that night," Jarrett said. "There are movies that are shown and events in this community that I don’t support, so I don’t participate."
But for anyone looking for a spooky event as a way to celebrate Halloween, Jarrett said all were welcome.
"It’s a great way to get the community involved in a Halloween celebration," she said.
Jarrett did stress that there would be rules enforced for zombie revelers.
"Don’t scare people, no banging on cars and stay on the route," Jarrett said. "And no weapons unless they are obviously fake."
Rae said the route would take zombies along a path from Centennial Park up to Main Street and then back behind Red Goose Deli, before going up Pruett Street and back to the park.
After the walk, Jarrett said, an inflatable movie screen would be set up in the parking lot adjacent to Red Goose for a showing of "Night of the Living Dead."
While Jarrett would not commit to wearing anything more than zombie face makeup, she said she was looking forward to the event.
"It will be fun to watch and listen," Jarrett said. "But I won’t have chunks of rotting flesh falling off of me." | https://www.thecabin.net/arts-entertainment/events/2012-10-20/zombies-invade-downtown-paragould | 2018-10-15T17:51:44 | CC-MAIN-2018-43 | 1539583509336.11 | [] |

Under the agreement with Shire, the outlet will be staffed and operated by the hotel group’s employees in accordance with Starbucks brand guidelines.
Starbucks will provide products such as coffee, food and merchandise as well as training, operational and marketing support.

Shanghai received 9.2 billion U.S. dollars of foreign investment in the first half of 2014, up 10.9 percent from a year earlier, the Shanghai municipal government said Thursday.
About half of new foreign-invested projects went to the Shanghai Free Trade Zone.
Twelve multinational corporations (MNCs), including Volvo, Zegna and Danone, have set up their regional headquarters in the zone.
Shanghai retains its role as China’s most MNC-concentrated city, home to 470 MNC regional headquarters and 375 MNC research centers.
In Pudong alone, MNC regional headquarters and subsidiaries generated more than 800 billion yuan (128 billion U.S. dollars) in revenues last year and paid more than 50 billion yuan in taxes. | https://www.thechinatimes.com/online/2014/07/7113.html | 2018-10-15T18:10:48 | CC-MAIN-2018-43 | 1539583509336.11 | [] |

Nolet's Old Fashioned Cocktail
We try a gin-based spin on the classic cocktail
Coming Up Next
Nolet's Old Fashioned
Everybody needs a strong drink now and then (or every day) - and that’s when an Old Fashioned comes in handy. It’s a simple cocktail whose origins date back to the 19th century – all you need is some spirits, bitters and a twist of citrus. It’s most commonly made with bourbon or whiskey, but it has historically been made with everything from rum to gin.
In the video above John McCarthy takes us on the gin route, making a cocktail that feels a bit lighter than your typical bourbon old fashioned and has a honey syrup twist. It also uses orange bitters to really bring out a bit of citrus in the drink to pair with the Nolets Gin. Watch the video to see the full cocktail, or follow the recipe below!
NOLET’S Old Fashioned
2 oz. NOLET’S Silver Dry Gin
.25 oz. Honey Syrup
3 Dashes Orange Bitters
Stir and strain over ice, garnish with orange twist.
Be sure to check out recipe for the Nolet's Winter Warmer (for those of you stuck in snow this weekend). | https://www.thedailymeal.com/nolets-old-fashioned-cocktail | 2018-10-15T17:38:33 | CC-MAIN-2018-43 | 1539583509336.11 | [

What To Expect In A Tooth Extraction
A tooth extraction may be required if you have severely decayed tooth, there is advanced periodontal disease, the tooth is broken and irreparable, poorly positioned tooth, and when it’s a necessary part of orthodontic treatment. Since the removal of even a single tooth can severely impair your dental health, extractions should be done only by highly-qualified and experienced dental experts to avoid complications.
Tooth Extraction Process
The dentist will first use a local anesthetic to numb the nerves around the area of the tooth, gums, and jaw bone. During the extraction, the tooth will be firmly rocked to widen the socket, and you will feel its pressure but not the pain.
Why Sectioning A Tooth Is Needed
During extraction, tooth sectioning may be carried out. In a sectioning procedure, the tooth is cut into sections, and then each section is removed one at a time. The procedure may be needed for a tooth that’s firmly anchored in its socket. Sectioning is also required if the root is curved and the socket can’t be expanded for tooth removal.
Post Tooth Extraction Follow-Up
Following the extraction, it’s vital that there is a formation of a blood clot, which can stop bleeding and start the healing process. The blood clot should not be dislodged or disturbed due to vigorous rinsing, sucking on straws, drinking, smoking or brushing teeth next to the extraction site for 72 hours. If there’s bleeding after the extraction, bite on a gauze pad for 30 to 45 minutes, and continue the same if bleeding persists. Avoid strenuous exercise to prohibit bleeding.
After the extraction, you may feel some pain and swelling, which can be addressed by putting an ice pack on the area and taking prescribed pain or antibiotics medication. After 48 hours, the pain and swelling subside, and if it does not, you should contact your dentist.
After 24 hours of the extraction, resume brushing and flossing your teeth at least once a day as it will speed up healing and after 2-3 days of the extraction you can continue your regular activities. | https://www.thegentledentistry.com/tooth-extraction/ | 2018-10-15T17:54:24 | CC-MAIN-2018-43 | 1539583509336.11 | [

Inside a high-security facility in southern England this week, two Canadian officers scribbled notes as they learned how to spot Russian submarines by listening to faint sounds reflected off the floor of the Arctic Ocean.
Later, they would spend hours memorizing the intricate and nearly silent audio patterns made by the latest generation of Russian and U.S. submarines, highly classified knowledge that will be used by Canada to follow the increasingly assertive manoeuvres taking place beneath the
Arctic ice.
"It's become a real cat-and-mouse game, actually, submarines keep trying to improve their noise-quieting technology, and we try to improve our listening technology to stay ahead. It's a constant challenge," said Captain Glen Gullison, from the Canadian military's Acoustic Data Analysis Centre in Halifax.
This little-known aspect of Canada's military operations, conducted by 200 people trained in the dark arts of sub-spotting, has just taken on a new prominence as Prime Minister Stephen Harper laid out plans this week to militarize Canada's claims on the Arctic.
In recent months, a Cold War-style game of imperial conquest has developed beneath the ice of the Arctic Ocean and the Northwest Passage, a submarine-driven dispute involving the United States, Norway, Denmark and especially Canada and Russia. Mr. Harper used this week's Throne Speech to signal the federal government was stepping up its presence in the Far North, pledging a bold and expensive military campaign to assert sovereignty over territory claimed by Canada, and areas of the Arctic that are still in dispute.
"The North needs new attention," the Prime Minister said. "Defending our sovereignty in the North also demands that we maintain the capacity to act."
"New Arctic patrol ships and expanded aerial surveillance will guard Canada's Far North and the Northwest Passage," Mr. Harper said. "As well, the size and capabilities of the Arctic Rangers will be expanded to better patrol our vast Arctic territory."
It was the top item in the provocative Throne Speech, and it implied an expansion of the Conservatives' ambitious Canada First Defence Strategy, a plan that could cost billions of dollars and intended, first and foremost, to establish Canadian force and surveillance in the Arctic. It envisions an Arctic Warfare Training Centre and at least 1,000 soldiers in the Arctic.
For many Canadians, these words were a natural and welcome bid to defend Canada's ownership of the Far North in the face of challenges from the United States, the Scandinavian nations and especially Russia, which sent research submarines beneath the ice this summer to plant a Russian flag - conquistador-style - directly beneath the ice at the North Pole, part of its claim to ownership of 45 per cent of the Arctic.
But it's not at all clear that Canada really owns any of the Arctic Ocean. And if Canada's legal claims to the northern sea prove to be unfounded, its new military thrust could place it in the company of Russia as an aggressor battling for the world's last pools of oil in a legal no man's land.
The fight for ownership of the Arctic Ocean and the seabed beneath it, driven by the possibility of finding immeasurable quantities of oil and gas, is a five-way battle between Canada, Russia, Norway, Denmark and the United States in which Canada has no particular privilege.
"As a matter of legal principle, Canada has no greater claim on the Arctic than any of the other four Arctic states, or indeed than any state in the world, quite frankly," said Rosemary Rayfuse, a professor at Australia's University of New South Wales and an expert on the Law of the Sea treaty. "Depending on geological realities, Canada may have a geological claim on some extension of the continental shelf, although I think that Russia and Norway have the greatest amount, from what I've seen."
At the heart of the issue is an undersea mountain range, buried deep beneath the ice, known as the Lomonosov Ridge. Under the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea, countries can claim undersea territory as their own if they can prove that it is directly linked to an extension of their own section of continental plate.
Russia has spent billions attempting to prove, using submarines, that its territory is connected to the North Pole, and the United States has researched similar claims involving Alaska. But the Canadian government only began research, budgeted at $70-million, in 2004, and it is not at all clear that the ridge is connected to any part of Canada.
In fact, Mr. Harper's Throne Speech this week included a pledge to "complete comprehensive mapping of Canada's Arctic seabed," a proposal that many international-law experts say is being made years too late, and that some characterize as a desperate bid to find a link between Canada and the Lomonosov Ridge. Canada has until 2013 to provide geological evidence of any claims on the Arctic under the Law of the Sea treaty; Russia's deadline is 2009, and the United States hasn't ratified the treaty, although is expected to do so in the near future.
This was all an academic point involving a beautiful but useless stretch of ice until recently, when rising global temperatures caused the ice to start melting. Now some scientists predict that the Arctic cap could be completely melted throughout the summer by 2040..
"The petroleum reserves, especially around the continental ridges themselves, could be quite profound - we're talking about anything from 50 to 100 million barrels," said Manouchehr Takin, a senior analyst at the Centre for Global Energy Studies in London. He believes that the large volumes of oil and gas around the continental shelf could be fairly easy to exploit, and could be extracted within about 10 years.
But Canada is far from proving that it owns any part of the Arctic Ocean, even as it prepares to set up air and land patrols in the northernmost regions through the ambitious Canada First Defence Strategy. And we have been wrong before. Canada's claim on Hans Island, a lifeless piece of rock between Ellesmere Island and Greenland, became a full-blown international dispute in 2005, when then-defence minister Bill Graham landed on the island and planted Canada's flag, leading to diplomatic threats from Denmark.
Satellite studies later showed that the island was located more in Danish than in Canadian territory, and scientists say that the most recent geological surveys of continental ridges seem to show that it is better defined as part of Greenland.
There is a worry, therefore, that Canada may be sending its military into a stretch of territory that is not legally its own, and that may turn out to be part of another country. Some legal experts say that it is inflammatory and dangerous to militarize a conflict that ought to be kept in more polite domains.
"Ultimately, the stuff in the high Arctic is politics," said Ted McDorman, a professor of coastal and marine law at the University of Victoria. "It's a matter of coming to an agreement between countries as to how to deal with that shelf area on Lomonosov Ridge, assuming it meets the geological requirements. Putting the military up there could just make it harder for the Russians to negotiate. It'll make them dig in a little more."
Others suggest that the use of the military in the North is simply beside the point, a publicity campaign with little legal value.
"Issues in the North aren't going to be dealt with by the Canadian Forces," Douglas Bland, chairman of the defence management studies program at Queen's University, told the Defense News. "They'll be handled by diplomacy and other similar means."
In the Northwest Passage, a thousand kilometres south of the Arctic Ocean, there is a stronger case for boatloads of rifle-toting Canadians to be part of the program, precisely because it isn't clear that Canada owns it. Under maritime law, the passage may well be defined as an international shipping channel; this is how the United States has long defined it, and the dispute over its status has been a frequent cause of tension between the United States and Canada.
This is where soldiers come in: Canada can only claim ownership of the Passage if it actively challenges other attempts by other countries to use the passage, something it has failed to do on two occasions, both involving U.S. vessels making the crossing in defiance of Canada. This has become a much bigger threat with global warming, as evidenced by this week's unprecedented shipment of fertilizer from Russia to Churchill, Man., a voyage that wouldn't have been possible a few years ago.
But this still led some observers to question Mr. Harper's use of combat troops to accomplish what is essentially a modest act of policing, especially when officials close to the U.S. administration, including former ambassador to Canada Paul Cellucci, have suggested that U.S. interests might be best served by letting Canada have the Northwest Passage.
"I do think that it's important to demonstrate a policing presence," said Michael Byers, an international-law professor at the University of British Columbia. "And whether it's provided by a frigate or a Coast Guard icebreaker doesn't really matter; it's having a presence and having the ability to put a handful of armed men on a vessel with a helicopter if we need to.
"So I'm a little bit skeptical of Mr. Harper's choice of the navy as the enforcement mechanism, given that we have a Coast Guard with decades of experience," Dr. Byers said. "I wonder whether the navy was the right choice in terms of allocating the funds for northern vessels."
At the moment, the areas under dispute seem likely to involve only a small portion of Arctic seabed, perhaps only 5 per cent. The submarine patrols being monitored so carefully beneath the Arctic Ocean and the Northwest Passage aren't hostile, and even the Russian flag-planting exercise was claimed to be little more than a research expedition (though many observers say it could be used as future evidence for a territory claim). So some say that Canada should adopt a much more passive approach to the Arctic.
"I think what it might make sense for Canada to do is just to react to what other countries are doing. ... If other countries seem to be overreaching, then Canada has to think about what is appropriate to do in that situation, and if other countries aren't following the rules ... you don't have any obligation to follow them yourself," said Eric Posner, a professor of international law at the University of Chicago.
Indeed, some say that the idea of a northern Cold War has arisen simply because some leaders, notably Mr. Harper, have insisted in describing it that way.
"There's a rhetoric of conflict surrounding this issue, and that unfortunately can become self-fulfilling," Dr. Byers said. "I'm not entirely sure about Mr. Harper himself, who until the Throne Speech was focused almost entirely on the military dimension of Arctic sovereignty. But at least this week he did, for the first time, talk about social and economic development ... so he's at last recognized that this is a multidimensional issue."
But even if he risked escalating a legal standoff into a military issue, Mr. Harper won applause from a number of informed observers, who say that the contentious aspects of the Arctic issue are bound to be settled, in the end, through sheer might. An escalating submarine war beneath the ice, in this view, is well worth pursuing.
"The Law of the Sea treaty itself is quite ambiguous here, and in fact it almost encourages this type of behaviour," Mr. Posner said.
"So to the extent that it's ambiguous, then the outcome will be determined by simple power."

Countries and their claims
Russia
Scientists returned from a six-week mission on a nuclear ice-breaker this summer to claim that the 1,931-kilometre-long Lomonosov Ridge is geologically linked to the Siberian continental platform and similar in structure. The Russians believe the information will support a claim to about 1.2 million square kilometres of energy-rich territory in the Arctic.
Denmark
The Danish government is pouring millions of dollars into a comprehensive map showing in bold relief the geological features of the Arctic Ocean floor. The Geological Survey of Denmark and Greenland has shown that the Lomonosov Ridge runs from the top of Greenland to the North Pole. Based on this underwater, sea-floor connection, Denmark has laid claim to the North Pole itself.
Canada
Canada is currently conducting a $70-million project to map the seabed on its side of the Lomonosov Ridge. Canada's claims include sovereignty over the Northwest Passage sea lanes, a potential source of disagreement with the United States.
The United States
A new survey by U.S. oceanographers of the seafloor north of Alaska reported that thousands of square kilometres of additional seafloor could potentially be under U.S. control. The U.S. Navy and Coast Guard are now actively determining what ships and assets they need for Arctic operations.
Norway
Norway has emphasized the need to structure a long-term system of international governance for the polar regions. Its scientists and researchers are calling for co-operation rather than competition. But Norway is also seeking an extension to its sub-sea territory in the Arctic and Norwegian oil companies are pushing north in the Barents Sea.

Early Arctic life
The polar regions were not populated during the Pleistocene Epoch, from 2.5 million to 10,000 years ago, when most of man's prehistory was unfolding. Man began as a tropical animal, and the Arctic was the last area, except for the Antarctic, to be inhabited.
Areas just south of the Arctic, which, in Pleistocene times, had climates similar to the Arctic, do show significant early developments. At sites on the Upper Yenisey River and Lake Baikal and at other locations across the steppes into European Russia, for instance, have been found the world's oldest known houses, probably ancestral to the earth dwellings of Arctic peoples.
Several early peoples - the Chukchi, Koryaks and Kamchadals - are believed to have entered northeastern Siberia about 2,000 years ago, finding the ancestors of the Inuit already living along the coasts.
In the eastern part of the American Arctic, including the Hudson Bay region and Greenland, there is an early culture, known as Dorset, dating from about 1000 BC and lasting to about 1000 or 1200 AD, when Inuit overran the area.
At that time, the climate in the Northern Hemisphere warmed considerably, and for several centuries the Arctic was milder than it is today, and there was a marked decrease in sea ice. In this period, two groups of people began migrations into Arctic North America.
From the west came Alaskan Eskimos, known as Thule culture people. By about 1000 AD, groups of them had reached northwestern Greenland. From the east came the Icelandic Norse, embarking from the colonies they had established in southwestern Greenland during the late 10th century.
There is only slight documentary evidence for contacts between the Inuit and the Norse of the Greenland colonies; however, there have been recent scattered archaeological finds of Norse objects in Canadian Arctic Inuit sites.

In the air
FIGHTER JETS
Canada's fleet of 50 CF-18 fighter aircraft are stationed at Cold Lake, Alta., and Bagotville, Que. At supersonic speed, with stops for refuelling in Yellowknife or Inuvik, they can reach the Far North in three hours. Russian Bear long-range bombers have twice tested Canada's intercept response time recently by approaching Canadian airspace. Canadian Forces will intentionally vary their response times to keep the Russians guessing.
PATROL AIRCRAFT
The CP-140 Aurora is Canada's maritime surveillance aircraft. Equipped originally for anti-submarine warfare, it has sophisticated radar and listening devices and can fly long distances without refuelling. Its 10-person crews are based in Greenwood, N.S., and Comox, B.C. It is used in the Arctic in summer months for training operations, and is called on about six times a year for specific Arctic surveillance missions. In an emergency, an Aurora could reach the Far North in six to seven hours.
IN ADDITION
There are also four Canadian Forces Twin Otters based in Yellowknife to provide transport and tactical support.
RADAR
Canada has very limited radar capacity in the Far North. As one former commander of Canadian Forces Northern Area said, there could be 100 unauthorized ships in the Northwest Passage and Canada wouldn't know. The area is so vast that a single ship is like a needle in a haystack. Canada's current radar satellite, RadarSat-1, can't see a ship on the surface of the sea. A new satellite, RadarSat-2, is expected to launch later this year and will be able to spot anything larger than three metres. The land-based radar stations known as the North Warning System can detect anything coming at Canada from the air but a ship or submarine on the Earth's surface more than 50 kilometres from the radar station can't be spotted because of the curvature of the Earth.

On and under the water
NAVY
The Canadian navy has sent frigates and its smaller marine coastal defence vessels to the North on exercises for the past two years, but they can't stay much beyond September because their hulls aren't reinforced against the ice. The government has announced that over the next several years it will acquire about seven patrol vessels capable of breaking one-year-old ice. Although some were disappointed, analysts point out that when the ice is thick, the marine threat to Canadian sovereignty is small. To accommodate the new patrol vessels, a refuelling facility will be built at Nanisivik, Nunavut. Once built, the vessels will have the daunting task of patrolling an area the size of continental Europe.
SUBMARINES Canada's fleet is powered by diesel fuel, and although the country's sole operational sub did take part in this year's northern exercises, subs aren't deployed under the unpredictable ice because diesel subs need to surface to recharge their engines. Nuclear submarines, operated by Russia, the United States, France and Britain, can patrol under the ice for extended periods without surfacing.
COAST GUARD
The Canadian Coast Guard deploys six vessels to the Arctic from June to November, mainly to break ice for barges bringing crucial supplies to remote communities. Two of the ships are heavy ice-breakers, capable of operating in multi-year ice, and four are medium ice-breakers. Another two ships with reinforced hulls are used primarily for scientific research in the North. The Coast Guard ships are not armed, and maintaining Canadian sovereignty is not part of their mandate.

On the land
HEADQUARTERS The Canadian Forces Joint Task Force North has 125 staff at headquarters in Yellowknife, and a further 40 stationed at 440 Squadron, where they maintain the four Twin Otter aircraft. About 70 personnel are stationed at Alert, in the high Arctic, where they do signals intelligence and maintain an airfield. Prime Minister Stephen Harper recently announced that an Arctic training facility will be established at Resolute Bay.
RANGERS Headquarters of the First Canadian Ranger Patrol Group, above, are also in Yellowknife. The army of 1,500 in the three northern territories are primarily Inuit and aboriginal reservists, from 54 communities, who conduct patrols in remote regions and report any suspicious activity to Canadian Forces headquarters. They are equipped with .303 bolt-action rifles and high-frequency radios, and do most of their winter patrols on snowmobiles. With their distinctive red caps and red-hooded sweaters, they are the only segment of the Canadian Forces that elects its leaders. In the past, the Rangers have spotted foreign submarines and a team of frogmen, suspected to have been deployed off a French sub sitting in Canadian waters.
RCMP The Mounties have 60 detachments in the Yukon, Northwest Territories and Nunavut, with a total of 409 officers in those locations. They are responsible for securing Canada's northern border, and are the first responders in virtually any emergency situation in the north.

The weather was beautiful, there wasn’t a cloud in the sky.
A cold front had turned our normal 90 degree days into a nice cool 70, perfect for the outdoor party we had planned for my oldest daughter.
We had the Disney movie Tangled on repeat for almost a year so it was no surprise when Lucille asked for a Tangled birthday party. This could be fun. To be honest Tangled was one of those movies I really enjoyed, even after the 100th time.
The planning started. We decided to have the party in our backyard, the first time we had done one there, so there was lots of work to do. We needed a new fence, some major yard work, and some cleaning. It was a good thing because I have been wanting to get these things done for a while, just the motivation I needed.
We planned a trip with family to Magic Kingdom in late September, a month or so before her party. We thought this would be the perfect opportunity to lay the ground work for what would be the biggest surprise on Lucille’s special day. We waited in line for Lu’s favorite princess and after some anxious pacing it was finally our turn to see Rapunzel. Lu asked “Will you come to my party?” Rapunzel delayed as she looked at us and we gave her a big thumbs up!
So the excitement began. All things purple and girlie followed.
On the morning of my girls big day we started with a birthday tradition we have done with all the girls since their first birthday. We wake them in the morning with balloons in their bed. She loved it.
Our party was in the evening. We thought the day would be hot so we planned it later and we also had a big surprise that we wanted to do when it got dark. It was great because we had the whole day to prepare (but even then I was still running behind in typical mom fashion).
Our dessert table was a very simple setup. Cupcakes, “paint brushes” and a delicious chocolate cake. My girl was in heaven.
We served pizza (Lu’s favorite food), “Maximus apples”, some other little snacks, juice, water, and some adult beverages 😉 Again very simple. All of the beautiful signs were done by BB Designs. She always exceeds all of my expectations.
A lot of my time and planning went into the activities. I felt like since Lu was a little older, and she loves crafts, she would appreciate a few planned activities.
“Make your friend Pascal”
“Add a few paintings to my gallery”
“Let’s get Tangled in Rapunzels hair” didn’t get a picture of this one but it was basically kids wrapping themselves in streamer which meant streamer EVERYWHERE!
“Pin the nose on Flinn”
We also had a playhouse, sandbox, slide, puppet theatre, and bounce house (which was the highlight of the party). I tried to have something for all ages.
So midway through the party, the music started and in walked…
you guessed it…
Rapunzel!
She was star struck.
I have to say that the whole experience with Rapunzel was even more magical than I could have imagined. I cried several times, especially at the coronation, and it made me so happy to see how attentive she was to Lucille. I have seen princesses at parties before and none looked so true to character and played the part so well. It was like we were at Disney, thats how beautiful every detail was. From the costume to the hair, it was all perfection. The company is Parties with Character and I would definitely recommend them!
Our favors for this party were something special. My mother in law worked her butt off to make something unique and handmade for every little boy and girl. The boys had Flinns satchels and the girls had Rapunzel braids. They were both so beautiful.
As the sun went down we took the whole group across the street where there is some open land right next to our community garden. We lighted wish lanterns just like the movie. I was nervous if it would work but the whole experience was so fun (with some trial and error) and the kids had a blast.
Lu was so tired from her magical day she didn’t even have the energy to open her presents (well she was opening presents throughout the party and I constantly found her with something new in her hands). She hugged me so tight that night and told me that her day was THE BEST DAY EVER! I couldn’t have been happier.
What did I wear? Well I tried to keep it simple and casual. You know you are busy when you get ready but totally forget to put on any mascara or lipstick.
I took so many videos so I put pieces of them together to give to Lu as a keepsake. I think she will enjoy looking at it when she is older. I have watched it a million times and I cry every time.
Here it is:
I hope you liked taking a look at Lucille’s Tangled party. I tried really hard to bring in tiny pieces of the movie throughout. Can you find those hidden little clues?
Do you like throwing parties? Do you do themed parties for your kids? If so I would love to hear about them. Tell me about your favorite party in the comments below.

Featuring a new series of work that combines Frank’s signature combination of sculpture and photography, using unique and custom-made frames for displaying his images. The subject of the photographs used in the exhibition will be landscapes, some taken during Frank’s travels around the globe and others shot in his own backyard.
I moved upstate and bought a car. After taking the same drive in my weekly commute I started to look forward to specific points in my journey, where I would sigh and delight in the combination of natural and man made beauty at the most scenic spots along the road. One day, while crossing the road in front of my house upstate, the symmetry of the yellow and white lines and absence of cars gave me the impulse to take photographs — one to the left and one to the right. My camera lens functioned as a way to check both ways before crossing. The photos accurately captured the scene that had been in front of me so many times before through my windshield, and I now had it documented so it could be displayed on my computer monitor. But seeing it on a flat screen or even in printed form just didn’t do the image justice. I needed to make a container in order to view it properly.
Over the last two years I’ve constructed a series of plywood boxes designed to display my photographs. The boxes are various shapes and sizes and each one is paired with a specific set of images. While no two of my boxes are identical, they all have a few key similarities: a light bulb in the center, four sided with two open ends, each side displaying a back-lit photo transparency. The boxes hang on the wall, facing out, but their true subject matter exists on the sides. Viewers are encouraged to peer in, hunch down, bend over, or stand tall in order to see them thoroughly. The images capture a specific time and place, and the effort to view them is similar to that which I endured to take them.
For Handmade Frames I will cover the two sets of windows in the gallery with photo transparencies, transforming them into natural light boxes back-lit by the sun during daylight hours. Though architectural in scale, the installation will function in the same manner as my plywood boxes: the images are related, placed at opposite ends of the structure, and are lit by the same light source. Both the boxes and the window installation seek to find order within the chaos of the natural world, and symbolize that we are all captured, contained, or protected in one structure or another.

Senior Bill Rees takes a break from studying for finals in Kilcawley Center by checking his Facebook news feed. Photo by Kevin Alquist/The Jambar.
Youngstown State University senior Bill Rees found himself checking his Facebook profile in the YSU Info and PC Lab when he should have been studying for his genetics final.
Rees works three jobs on top of being a full-time student. He insists that his busy schedule requires him to have good time management skills.
But, he said he cannot escape the temptation to take 15 minutes to check his Facebook or Twitter page.
“When I study, and I’m by a computer, I find myself taking breaks,” Rees said.
Rees said he doesn’t see his Facebook usage as a problem because it usually doesn’t get in the way of completing his schoolwork.
“Facebook, to me, isn’t a bad thing as long as you get your work done,” Rees said. “But when you start procrastinating with it, you can lose track of time.”
Facebook claims that 483 million of its 845 million active users are active on the site every day.
According to a study done by the Pew Research Center, 80 percent of Internet users between the ages of 18 and 35 used social networking sites in 2010 — a jump from 63 percent in 2008.
With finals approaching, Brad Boughter, a criminal justice major, said he decided to delete his Facebook account.
He said he thought it would be simple — until he started receiving updates weeks after he deactivated his account.
“I thought it was going to just be completely deleted — just like that,” Boughter said. “It asked me for password confirmations multiple times, and then I had to send in a request for removal without the option of recovery.”
Boughter said he is glad he’s not addicted to checking Facebook all of the time for updates.
To stay focused, he has been studying at Maag Library.
“I definitely find myself less distracted down there,” Boughter said.
At some places on campus, students can escape digital procrastination.
“[The Center for Student Progress] is a place that people come to study,” said Robin Sakonyi-White, assistant director of supplemental instruction and student tutorial services at CSP.
“They know this is an academic setting.”
“It’s more focused time without distractions like Facebook,” said Susan Mark-Sracic, assistant director of supplemental instruction services at CSP.
At the end of the semester, students come to CSP for course review and additional tutoring. After working with students all semester long, tutors work with professors to identify material needed to create a course review session.
“We offer review sessions all year, but at the end of the semester, they are more cumulative,” Mark-Sracic said.
Sakonyi encourages students to seek help throughout the semester, but said CSP can provide last-minute help to anyone who comes in.
“At this point in the semester, it can be challenging for a student to catch up,” Sakonyi said. “Some come at the end of the semester, and we do what we can for them.”
Boughter, who decided to keep his Twitter account, admits that he is still distracted by social networking, but finds that having only one active account decreases the amount of time wasted aimlessly browsing and procrastinating.
“Twitter is just as bad, but what can you do?” Boughter said.
Amanda Shuttleworth, a senior nutrition student, said she also deleted her Facebook and that it hasn’t affected her focus.
When she quit Facebook, she already had a Twitter account.
“It hasn’t really affected me when I’m trying to get work done,” Shuttleworth said. “I am just as distracted by Twitter.”
Shuttleworth said she finds herself less distracted by social networking sites than when she started school in 2008.
“I guess I don’t care as much about what people are doing as much as I used to,” Shuttleworth said. | https://www.thejambar.com/facebook-or-finals/ | 2018-10-15T17:57:52 | CC-MAIN-2018-43 | 1539583509336.11 | [

<p dir="ltr" id="docs-internal-guid-7cdfbf07-7fff-ac75-49d1-654294c34eef">Walking down the street in small town Texas, you wouldn’t expect to hear the locals chattering away in German. But Germany’s complex history throughout the 19th and 20th centuries resulted in a global diaspora, and the language is spoken in numerous regions outside of Europe. Here are some of the most significant and surprising places in which German is still spoken.</p><p><strong>Texas </strong></p><amp-youtube data-videoid=\'vwgwpUcxch4\' layout=\'responsive\' width=\'480\' height=\'270\'></amp-youtube><p>Perhaps one of the most unlikely locations for the presence of a modern-day German dialect is Texas. German was transported to Texas in the mid-19th century, as a part of the wave of immigration to the United States.</p><p>Emigration to the state was boosted in 1842 by the <i>Adelsverein</i>, which sought to establish and support German colonies throughout Texas. Moreover, in 1847, the Meusbach-Comanche Treaty further helped to settle German colonists on the land; it remains the only unbroken treaty between European-American colonists and Native Americans.</p><p>German in Texas was unusual for an immigrant language in the USA: most died out after the third generation, but German continued to be spoken several generations after settlers brought it to the state. However, the First and Second World Wars lead to a repression of German culture, and residents felt ashamed about speaking the language openly. Consequently, the dialect largely died out and is now spoken mostly by a small number of elderly Texans seeking to preserve their heritage.</p><p><strong>The Hutterites</strong></p><amp-youtube data-videoid=\'cejRc7hhij4\' layout=\'responsive\' width=\'480\' height=\'270\'></amp-youtube><p>The Hutterites are an ethno-religious Christian group based in North America. There are an estimated 34,000 speakers of the Hutterite dialect of German, of which around 85% live in Canada, and 15% live in the Great Plains of the United States. Throughout its long history, the Hutterite group emigrated from central and Eastern Europe to Russia, before settling in North America in the mid-19th century.</p><p>Hutterites live in colonies in which every member of the colony contributes towards the running and well-being of the community. Everything, including cooking, meal-times, clothes-washing are communal, while all property is owned by the colony. The children generally learn Hutterisch, before they are taught English at schools within the colonies.</p><p>Hutterisch is based on the Tyrolean dialect spoken by the founder of the Hutterites, Jakob Hutter. Hutter, who lived in the first half of the 16th century, was a hat-maker and leading Anabaptist. Originally from the Puster Valley, in what is now in South Tyrol in Italy, Hutter was burnt at the stake in Innsbruck in 1536 for his beliefs. Hutterite German is influenced by the Carinthian dialect, and has number of loan words from English and Russian. Hutterisch is mostly an unwritten language, although there have been attempts to write it as a dialect, such as the 2006 children’s book <i>Lindas glücklicher Tag</i> by Linda Maendel.</p><p><strong>Namibia</strong></p><amp-youtube data-videoid=\'YPYNK1gG0S8\' layout=\'responsive\' width=\'480\' height=\'270\'></amp-youtube><p>Namibia was a German colony from 1884 to 1915; it was known as <i>Deutsch-Südwestafrika</i> and was part of Imperial Germany’s attempt at constructing an overseas empire. During the First World War, Namibia was taken over by South African and British forces. Following a tense post-war relationship, Namibia gained independence from South Africa in1990.</p><p>Although English is Namibia’s only official language, German is still recognized as a national language, and is the mother tongue of roughly 30,000 Namibians. German and Afrikaans had been official languages in Namibia until independence, after which they lost their status.</p><p>The German-speaking demographic is mostly caucasian; around one-third of Namibia’s white population speaks German. It is also spoken by a small part of the well-educated black population, who speak it as a second language.</p><p><strong>Mexico</strong></p><amp-youtube data-videoid=\'32BFmzA8m3A\' layout=\'responsive\' width=\'480\' height=\'270\'></amp-youtube><p>Mexico is home to about 95,000 descendants of Mennonite immigrants who have retained their <i>Platdietsch</i> dialect. In the early 20th century, several thousand Russian Mennonites immigrated to Canada; however, conservative Mennonite factions soon moved to Mexico, as post-war anti-German sentiments governed Canadian society. In more conservative Mennonite communities, rules dictate that men can speak Spanish, whereas women are only permitted to speak German.</p><p>Another wave of German immigration to Mexico came at the end of the 19th century, as German chancellor Otto von Bismarck and Mexican President Porfirio Díaz collaborated to exploit agricultural potential in the southern Mexican state of Chiapas. Almost 500 German families were sent to Soconusco in Chiapas to establish coffee plantations and food processing facilities. In fact, a study by the National Autonomous University of Mexico found that, in Soconusco, the mestizo population had a higher concentration of German heritage than Spanish.</p><p>The Colegio Alemán Alexander von Humboldt in Mexico City, which was founded in 1894, is the largest German school outside of Germany. It has three campuses, and most classes are taught in German.</p><p><strong>Brazil</strong></p><amp-youtube data-videoid=\'KYXeSSrOcMc\' layout=\'responsive\' width=\'480\' height=\'270\'></amp-youtube><p>There are about three million German speakers in contemporary Brazil, and German is the second most common first language in the lusophone nation. The primary German dialect spoken is <i>Riograndenser Hunsrückisch</i>, which is particularly prevalent in the south of Brazil. This dialect has, unsurprisingly, been influenced by Portuguese and, to a lesser extent, indigenous languages such as Guarani and Kaingang. The influence of Portuguese is especially notable concerning terminology for nature, and for modern technological advances: words and notions which would have been unfamiliar to the original German settlers. The word for plane, for instance, is not <i>Flugzeug</i>, but <i>Aviong</i>, which is derived from the Portuguese <i>avião</i>.</p><p>German is the best-preserved minority immigrant language in Brazil. There are various factors for this. The disparity between German and Portuguese made it harder for German immigrants to learn the dominant language; in comparison, Italian immigrants could learn Portuguese with relative ease.</p><p>The preservation of German was also aided by the high birth-rate amongst German immigrants in the 19th century; second generation German immigrant women had an average of 10.4 children, which resulted in a boom amongst the German-speaking population.</p><p>A third factor which influenced the preservation of German was the attitude of many German immigrants. In their largely rural colonies, they sought to recreate the society which they had left and believed they would never return to.</p> | https://www.thelocal.de/20180911/the-surprising-places-around-the-world-where-german-is-still-spoken | 2018-10-15T18:27:12 | CC-MAIN-2018-43 | 1539583509336.11 | [] |
<p> Police in the town of Blois, in the department of Loir-et-Cher responded to gunfire at an apartment building around 10pm last Friday night.</p> <p> Upon arrival, the security forces found three teenage boys in shock, including one 15-year-old who had suffered a facial injury. The youngster was taken to hospital.</p> <p> Police would have been forgiven for thinking the shooting might have been related to a feud between warring gangs but instead the teenagers pointed the finger at their 81-year-old neighbour.</p> <p> Officers then questioned the elderly lady at her apartment, where two rifles – one loaded – were discovered.</p> <p> The octogenarian had apparently reached her limit, and decided to take her quest for peace and quiet into her own hands.</p> <p> She admitted to police that she had fire shots from a rifle, but denied having aimed at the boys, according to French daily <a href="" target="_blank">Le Parisien</a>.</p> <p> She was taken into custody on Friday night and released the next day. Police are awaiting the results of forensic testing on evidence taken from the scene.</p> | https://www.thelocal.fr/20130403/vigilante-granny-fires-rifle-at-noisy-neighbours | 2018-10-15T18:24:00 | CC-MAIN-2018-43 | 1539583509336.11 | [] |

>> for drought relief (as outlined below).
For taxpayers wishing to make a contribution to a drought relief fund, it is important to be aware of the tax implications associated with making such donations.
For example, donations of $2 or more to an organisation that is a deductible gift recipient will be tax deductible.
To check to see if a particular appeal is a registered charity, the ATO has advised that taxpayers should use the ‘ABN lookup’ function on the Australian Business Register website before donating.
For those looking to raise funds through crowdfunding platforms to assist their farming business, payments received from the crowdfunding platforms may be assessable income, depending upon how the funds are used.

Victoria Woodards is leading the race to become Tacoma’s next mayor, according to early election returns posted Tuesday.
As of Tuesday night, Woodards was leading Jim Merritt by almost 4 points, or 737 votes, in the race to replace Mayor Marilyn Strickland, whose second term ends at the end of this year.
Woodards had about 52 percent of the vote Tuesday night to Merritt’s 48 percent.
She said in an interview after the results dropped that she’d prepared a speech for both possibilities: a victory or a loss.
“I have to be honest with you, I really had no idea what was going to happen. I knew when we turned the lights off at the office this evening we gave everything we had and it was up to the Tacoma voters to decide,” Woodards said.
“On Day 1 I just want to start addressing the needs of the citizens who live here. I want to get to that list of things citizens said were important to them, and I want to begin to address those things.”
She also offered praise for her opponent.
“Jim and I ran a good race together and it doesn’t matter who people voted for in the city, I’m going to be everyone’s mayor and I want to work for everyone in the city,” she said.
Merritt did not immediately return a phone call seeking comment, but his campaign posted about the results on his Facebook page.
“While tonight’s results aren’t what we’d hoped, we are still optimistic the outcome of this race will be in favor of Jim. This race is too close to call,” the post read in part. “No matter the outcome, we are grateful to everyone who voted and to Tacoma for being willing to talk about important issues. We would like to congratulate Victoria on a campaign well run and look forward to tomorrow’s numbers!”
Woodards, 52, is a former City Councilwoman and former director of the Tacoma Urban League who lives in the South End. She left her second term on the council last December to run for mayor. It was one year before her term ended, in a nod to the city’s term limits law, which prohibits anyone from serving more than 10 years in a row in the mayor or council positions.
Merritt, 70, is a longtime architect from the North End who has been involved with many iconic Tacoma projects, including the design of Union Station and the redevelopment of the Thea Foss Waterway. He ran for mayor once before, in 2008, and was narrowly defeated by Strickland.
The two candidates come from very different backgrounds. Merritt has spent his career in the private sector, whereas Woodards spent most of hers in the public sphere and as an elected official.
But, throughout the campaign, they had similar views on many of the issues facing Tacoma.
Their starkest difference of opinion was their stance on the liquefied-natural gas plant Puget Sound Energy is building on Tacoma’s Tideflats. Woodards supports it, saying LNG is a transitional fuel that will lead port industries to a greener future. Merritt opposes it, voicing concerns about its safety and complaining about the veil of secrecy he says shrouded the permitting process.
While the candidates stayed above mudslinging, the race became increasingly divisive and vitriolic — especially on social media — as Election Day neared.
Merritt supporters blasted Woodards online and in mailers for claiming an associate’s degree from Pierce College on a 2004 application for the Metro Parks Tacoma board when she didn’t have one. Woodards backers accused Merritt of repeatedly overstating his role in the prominent Tacoma developments, especially Point Ruston, during the campaign.
A round of updated election returns will be released Wednesday afternoon. Final results will be certified by the Pierce County Auditor’s Office on Nov. 28.

Gay rights: Here is an overview of the progress around the world
After India's Supreme Court decriminalised gay sex on Thursday, here is a broad overview of the situation around the world.

These presidents are poles apart in terms of attitudes towards equality
Despite legislation being clear that gay couples have equal rights, they can still be refused a civil union if a member of staff objects.
More than 50% of all South Africans believe that homosexual people should have the same human rights as other citizens, despite more than 70% feeling that same-sex sexual activity is ‘morally wrong’.
Some guy from Johannesburg has called for gay men to be shot, but what’s worse is that Facebook refused to remove the man’s comment from the public sphere as it hadn’t violated their “community standards.”
Just as Malawi’s justice minister put a temporary ban on anti-homosexuality laws, the spokesperson for the former ruling party demanded that homosexuals be killed.
Having never been anything but supportive of the legalization of gay marriage, the last few weeks have been a complete eye-opener for me and, I think, many like me.
This weekend saw huge celebrations in Ireland marking the yes vote to allow gay marriage. The same laws that South Africa passed in 2006. A great step forward for gay rights and an important moment to reflect on how amazing South Africa's constitution is.

THE ALIEN HE PRESENTED WAS THE MUMMY OF A CHILD
MAUSSÁN REFUTED
". . . BeWitness, headed by Maussán, was an absolute fraud, one in which many people paid for something that was utterly false."
By ERNESTO BUITRON
5-13-15
Jaime Maussán remains in the eye of the hurricane after disclosing last May 5th -- through a major conference and Internet transmission to the whole world – alleged evidence of an alien recovered from a spaceship that crashed in Roswell, New Mexico in 1947.
. . . However, . . . British newspaper, The Mirror stated that the slides are those of a two-year-old mummified child from the southwestern United States, branding the ufologist a liar and shredding his theory, which was supported by renowned, world-class UFO researchers.
The Mirror states that the conference, called BeWitness, headed by Maussán, was an absolute fraud, one in which many people paid for something that was utterly false.
“The two photographs of a dead alien that were made known at an event for which large sums of money were paid were immediately dismissed

Everyone likes a little flash fiction, right? Thanks to a prompt from Miranda Kate's 15th Mid-Week Flash challenge, you're going to get some! This is from Miranda's post:
This week's photo prompt is actually an advert on Etsy. Antique keys seem to be popular. I have always been fascinated by keys and doors - and the metaphorical meaning of both.
Looking forward to seeing what this might inspire.
If you want to join in, here's what she's looking for:

Winner Takes All
Chloe's torments were just a merely to Reynard. He enjoyed his diversions with her inside the ancient catacombs beneath the church. They were perfectly suited for his amusements, and as a prison—for Chloe. Other than the obvious lack of freedom, there was never physical abuse in the way most would think. Reynard made sure his playmate ate well and provided for all the basic comforts. It was the constant toying with her mind that somehow brought him twisted pleasure. Taking her to the edge of sanity—then pulling her back before the next round—this was what he found exciting.
Today, however, Chloe dared to believe her luck had changed; the game would end differently this time. While delivering her mid-day meal he placed his keys on the table near her cell, all held together by a shiny metal ring. As he talked, or should one say mocked her helplessness, they slipped to the floor when he bumped against the table, falling just out of his sight. As he continued to tease about her failed efforts to escape, she forced herself to look away from their location, hoping against hope they would remain unnoticed.
After what seemed an eternity, Reynard left. Still, Chloe made no effort to retrieve the keys until his footsteps faded completely. When only silence could be heard, she edged closer to the bars, her slender arm stretching through. The tips of her fingers barely touched the ring, but that was enough. Once the keys were in hand, she held them up and smiled, even laughing a little.
Reaching around the bars, she placed each one into the keyhole of her cell door, turning it as quietly as possible until one pulled the deadbolt back into the lock. She opened the door only enough to squeeze her body through. A squeaking hinge might be enough to alert her captor.
The tunnel to the left led back to the church—and Reynard. The path Chloe suspected would lead to an exit went to the right. She had been partway down it before during one of Reynard's games. Walking quickly ahead, she soon encountered a locked door. Not long after finding its matching key, another door appeared down the tunnel, and then another. Testing each for the right key, every success provided a few more yards of freedom. Finally, Chloe came to a door unlike the others. It was much heavier. She could hear something beyond, perhaps a bird singing, though the sound was faint. She inserted each key into the lock, but none fit. She tried again. Surely Reynard would return and find her before she could escape. Chloe panicked, wondering if there would be time to try another route. The answer came quickly enough. When she turned, he was leaning against the wall, his arms folded.
"What? Did you think I would make it that easy for you to escape? There are eight keys, but nine doors between you and freedom." Reynard sported an irritating smirk as he bent forward putting his face close to hers. "No, girl, you'll never see the light of day."
Chloe felt the useless keys in her hand. Her anger grew as he laughed, the disturbing noise echoing through the tunnels.
"Then neither shall you!"
Summoning all the strength her body could muster, Chloe thrust the metal shafts deep into his eyes. He staggered backward, covering his face with his hands, painful wails filling the catacombs until he collapsed, the ornate brass ends still protruding from bloody sockets.
Chloe sat on the floor, giggling as he writhed in agony, blood seeping from between his fingers. She had played the game well, rigged as it was, and managed to pull off a draw. Now, with both players a prisoner of sorts, the game could continue, but only madness remained to crown the victor.

No fewer than 14 pregnant women, 24 children and 100 others were among the 138 returnees who arrived the cargo wing of the Murtala Mohammed Airport, Lagos.
The returnees were received by the Zonal Coordinator, National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA), Suleiman Yakubu and the Zonal Commander, National Agency for the Prohibition of Trafficking in Persons (NAPTIP), Mr. Joseph Famakinwa.
Although the flight was delayed, the aircraft 5A-ONO Afriqiyah with flight number Brq-189/190 finally touched down at about 6.26pm.
After the returnees disembarked from the flight, the agencies on ground profiled and fed them before giving them the allocated stipend approved by the International Organisation for Migration (IOM). | https://www.thisdaylive.com/index.php/2017/08/17/nema-natptip-receives-14-pregnant-women-24-kids-100-returnees-from-libya/ | 2018-10-15T16:44:07 | CC-MAIN-2018-43 | 1539583509336.11 | [] |
After a friend coaxed me to switch from Hotmail to Gmail back in 2006 – I soon discovered Google Calendar. And, what a life-changer it was! I’ve mentioned before how I struggle with things slipping my mind. Call it age or brain farts – I just have a penchant for misremembering.
G.Cal (what I’ll refer to it furthermore) is an Ajax-driven interface and an app brother to Gmail which allows a user the ability to click on a date and enter in an appointment. And, if an appointment gets changed, all a person has to do is click on it and move it to another date. This is what first wowed me about the application when I first used it.
G.Cal has come a long ways since its inception. It’s newer features include flairs to highlight specific events/activites and the ability to see other friends/family members schedules to check their availability.
I want to share with you a few ways G.Cal can help you with time management and save you money. Please share with me some of the ways you are using it to do the same.
- Birthdays/Anniversaries. As I guy, I can’t tell you how important the remembering of important dates is. Forget the first date you ever had with your wife or your anniversary – and you could be repenting for days, if not weeks. G.Cal is very equipped to help us guys in this area.
- Bill due dates. A great use for G.Cal is to remind you of bills coming due. As you are trying to become a financial wizard, you don’t want to fall prey to late fees! Those are killers. At the end of every month, I enter in next month’s bill due dates. I should never, ever have to pay a stupid-tax on a late bill again.
- Notifications. I love this feature. Whenever an appointment is coming due, I can choose to get an alert via email and/or through my smartphone. I actually have both set-up in case I miss something. I have an iPhone, so my notice shows up much like a text message would. It’s very slick and helps me stay on the ball.
- Sharing. Another fantastic feature of G.Cal is the ability to share your calendar with friends and family. You can also include their calendar on your calendar. Each calendar that you have is color-coded to keep things straight. But, this is great for a large family to help track all its members or just for busy spouses to keep schedules from getting mixed up.
- Invites. Use G.Cal to send out invites to friends/family for various happenings. You can track those who are coming and those who have declined.
- Expiration dates. Perhaps you have coupons you want to track, oil changes, furnace filters, or you name it – the calendar can notify you when a expiration is coming due – saving you $$.
I know there are other uses for G.Cal out there too. What have you got for me?
HAH! I remember when a friend convinced me to get on Hotmail — 1998, yo! I was like “You could get email *anywhere*?? Even on different computers? Awesome!” Haha… then I think I switched to Gmail around 2006 too… absolutely love it. I set up all the alerts to make sure I never forget appts. Which is huge for someone with A.D.H.D. like me ;)
Happy holidays, bro!
Haha – yeah, Hotmail was the thing back then – email “anywhere”! | https://www.threethriftyguys.com/2011/11/how-to-use-google-calendar-to-save-you-time-and-money/?replytocom=1063 | 2018-10-15T16:52:59 | CC-MAIN-2018-43 | 1539583509336.11 | [] |

This is just a warning shot‚ Numsa tells Eskom
The president of the National Union of Metalworkers of South Africa‚ Andrew Chirwa‚ says Thursday's industrial action at Eskom operations across the country is just a warning of what is to come.
Members of Numsa‚ the National Union of Mineworkers and trade union Solidarity are protesting against a wage freeze.
Addressing protesters at a picket at Eskom's headquarters in Johannesburg‚ Chirwa criticised Eskom for telling workers it does not have money for a wage increase yet it is able to afford lawyers in an effort to secure a court interdict.
"They have not learned their lesson. In Marikana there was a court interdict but it failed. There were many strikes where there were court interdicts but they failed. The court interdict cannot give workers a guaranteed increase...‚" Chirwa said.
"If the negotiations fail‚ it is upon you to take action in your own hands."
He said the zero percent offered by Eskom to workers is an insult.
"This is a provocation of the highest note. If Eskom management thinks that workers at Eskom.
He accused Eskom of spending billions of rands in supporting independent power producers while the country has excess electricity.
He added the the new dawn championed by President Cyril Ramaphosa does not exist because workers are suffering more than before.
The unions are demanding a 15% wage increase.
"Workers will not be blamed for a crisis they did not create. This Eskom is poor today because they have squandered money. They have looted Eskom to an extent that it has no money...‚" said Chirwa. | https://www.timeslive.co.za/news/south-africa/2018-06-14-this-is-just-a-warning-shot-numsa-tells-eskom/ | 2018-10-15T18:17:38 | CC-MAIN-2018-43 | 1539583509336.11 | [] |
Measles in Babies- Everything You Should Know
It is always distressing for parents to see their little one getting vaccinated. It becomes emotionally challenging sometimes. It hurts us more than it does to the baby. At some point in time, those vaccines, vaccination room and the cry of your baby might have hard-pressed you to think if you should skip the vaccines. But unfortunately, Vaccinations can’t be skipped, especially, of a fatal disease like Measles.
What is Measles and its symptoms in babies?
Measles or rubeola or morbilli is highly contagious, potentially fatal disease that’s caused by a virus. It is best known for causing entire body skin rash. The first signs of Measles are flu like symptoms, such as fever, cough, runny nose and muscle aches. Later on, the Koplik’s spots which are tiny red spots with bluish white centres may appear on the inside of the mouth. The measles rash (red rash) begins on the forehead and gradually spread all over the body after 3-5 days of the first symptom exhibited.
Measles is usually diagnosed based on the symptoms displayed by baby or by a blood test to check for the presence of the virus.
How can your baby get measles?
When someone infected with virus coughs or sneezes, the tiny droplets containing the virus is sprayed into the air. These viruses in droplets could stay active for two hours. Your baby gets infected too if he comes in contact with these droplets. Measles could spread from skin-to-skin contact with someone hosting the virus.
Treating measles in babies
There is no treatment for measles. Like any other viruses, Rubeola has to run its course which could last for about 2 weeks. To control the symptoms such as fever, aches and pains, acetaminophen or ibuprofen could be given. Plenty of rest and fluids could make your child feel better.
Antibiotics could be prescribed only when there are complications such as bacterial infection.
Preventive measures
· Children above 12 months: The most important thing you could do to keep your child safe is getting him/her vaccinated with MMR (Measles, Mumps, Rubella) vaccine. It is highly effective. It is given in two doses: one between 12 to 15 months and the second dose between 4 years to 6 years.
· Infants under 12 months: Generally, the vaccines are not given to the babies under 12 months because the immunity is passed on by the mother to babies. This protects the baby from measles for first 6 months. In case there is measles outbreak or a situation where the baby could get infected, the baby could be vaccinated with early MMR shot followed by the usual MMR vaccination schedule.
Caring for the baby during measles
· Make sure the baby gets lots of rest and keep him/her away from daycare or nursery to avoid spreading of measles.
· Offer your baby plenty of fluids such as water, juice, breast milk, formula milk, to prevent dehydration.
· Give infant paracetamol or ibuprofen to ease fever, pain and aches.
· Use salt water drops (saline) to clear the stuffy nose.
· Keep a bowl of water in baby’s room to make it more humid and help in relieving your baby’s cough.
· Never give your baby aspirin medicine as this could lead to the development of Reye Syndrome.
When to seek help?
If your baby displays any of the following behaviours, you should seek medical assistance immediately:
· Baby is struggling to feed or drink fluids.
· Urinating less than normal (for infants, dry nappies or less than 3 wet nappies in 24 hours)
· Difficulty breathing
· Very irritable and doesn’t want to be held
· Very tired, sleepy or drowsy.
· Develops worsening headache and crying inconsolably.
· Symptoms become worse suddenly.
· If the health condition doesn’t seem to be improving.

Expect tighter security at New Year events tonight
With at least three major New Year countdowns taking place across Singapore tonight, party organisers are marshalling extra security to ensure a safe environment for the massive crowds set to show up.
Partygoers can expect bag checks and long queues at entrances to the year-end celebrations.
The Marina Bay Singapore Countdown 2017 party will see a heavy presence of police and auxiliary police officers (APOs), as well as security officers, with two major roads in the Civic District - St Andrew's Road and Connaught Drive - closed for the night.
APOs are from private security firms and are trained to carry firearms, arrest offenders and manage crowds.
The party is Singapore's largest New Year event and is expected to draw more than 300,000 people.
The police said officers from the Protective Security Command and Emergency Response Teams will also be on duty at the party.
BAG CHECKS
Mediacorp's Celebrate 2017: Countdown With The Stars, a street party at Suntec, will have bag checks at every entry point, said its senior manager of brand and communications Yeong Lai Lai.
The Siloso Beach Party countdown on Sentosa Island will also have tighter security.
Divisional director of operations at Sentosa Leisure Management, Mr Koh Piak Huat, said that besides enhanced crowd control measures, frontline staff are also trained to look out for potential threats.
Meanwhile, the police and party organisers have urged people to be vigilant and to report any crime or concern to the authorities.
Student Valerie Toh, who will attend the Siloso Beach Party with her boyfriend, is shrugging off the unavoidable snaking queues, saying the bag checks and extra security measures are necessary.
"It is definitely inconvenient but, for our safety, I think it is better to go through such procedures," said the 19-year-old. "Better safe than sorry."
Security stepped up around the region
