Dr. Gordon Benefits Discusses Why You Should Be Eating Healthy Chocolate. Benefits of Dark chocolates for men and women according to Dr. Gordon Pedersen who came up with cure for malariaIf you are located anywhere near Sarasota Florida, now is the time for you to get serious with your plans to start your own home based business. On Saturday, May 18th, 2013 at 11:30 am, we have the pleasure of learning from one of the best. Dr. Gordon Pedersen is an international best selling author, formulator of more than 150 nutritional products and host of the radio show “Common Sense Medicine”. He is an acclaimed scientist and sought after professional speaker and snutritional expert. Dr. Pedersen will be sharing his knowledge of the health and anti-aging benefits of cold pressed raw chocolate. He will be discussing the new Beyond Beauty Cream cacao based anti-aging skin care, the first neurocosmetic that helps you feel good while improving your skin, and the benefits of eating raw cold pressed chocolate. Can you imagine the huge impact this will have on your new XO business team if you get started now? There are many reasons to own a home based business, extra income, flexibility to work from home and enjoying retirement or the ability to take care of the kids or grandkids on your schedule. The tax incentives alone are reason enough to give a home based business serious thought as you complete your IRS 1040 return and schedule C. When starting a business, certain issues come into play. How long has the company been in business, is the company debt free, are the products better than what you can get in the open market and are they desirable are just a few of the questions you need to ask yourself. It is vital that you consider these things when making a decision on what home based business opportunity is the best option for you in Boca Grande, Bradenton, Siesta Key, Sarasota or North Port. The fact that a top notch scientist is involved with a healthy chocolate company is a good indication that the products they sell are for real. In fact, Well Beyond Corporation, the makers of XO Healthy Chocolate have a product line with a patented cold pressed chocolate method which keeps in the antioxidants from the raw cacao, making it the highest antioxidant product available, even higher than the Acai berry it is sweetened with. It also helps that Well Beyond Chocolate has been in business over 7 years, is debt free and has a product everyone loves, chocolate! It also does not hurt that they have one of the best compensation plans available for promoters that I am aware of, plus an ability to earn $1500 your very first week in business if you are willing to work hard and put in the effort. Let me help you build your business in the Sarasota, Boca Grande and Siesta Key area. I am Lynette Henk, Healthy Chocolate promoter in Punta Gorda. I can be reached at 941-216-5727, emailed at [email protected], or you can visit LiveForChocolate.com. I look forward to great success for us all!

Vancouver, Canada –September 12, 2016 – Canarc Resource Corp. (TSX: CCM, OTC-BB: CRCUF, Frankfurt: CAN) (the “Company”) announces that after having received regulatory approvals, it has closed the definitive agreement with Eureka Resources Inc. (TSX-V: EUK), pursuant to which Canarc has an exclusive option to acquire up to a 75% interest in the FG Gold Property (the “Property”) located approximately 100 kilometres east of Williams Lake in central British Columbia. The FG Gold Project is located in the historic Cariboo Gold Camp within the Quesnel Trough area of central British Columbia. Mineralization occurs as quartz veins and stringer zones containing coarse free gold and finer grained iron sulphides bearing gold in a broad shear zone conformable to bedding within deformed and metamorphosed Paleozoic sedimentary rocks. The Property consists of 33 contiguous mineral claims totalling 10,400 hectares. Eureka has spent over $15.0 million on exploration since 1982. Eureka reports an NI 43-101 total measured and Indicated resource of 376,000 ounces gold (“Au”), at an average grade of 0.776 g/t Au, comprised of measured resource of 5,600,000 tonnes at 0.812 Au g/t containing 145,000 oz Au and indicated resource of 9,570,000 tonnes at 0.755 Au g/t containing 231,000 oz Au and an Inferred resource of 634,900 ounces Au at an average grade of 0.718 g/t Au comprised of 27,493,000 tonnes at 0.718 Au g/t 1. Canarc has not yet verified the resource so is treating it as an historic resource estimate and is not relying on it. Through geological mapping, soil sampling, induced polarization (“IP”) geophysical surveys and surface drilling, gold mineralization has been defined over a strike length of 3 kilometres, with excellent potential for additional mineralization along an interpreted strike length of over 10 kilometers. Canarc plans to complete a more detailed review of the historic exploration information and results in order to refine the priority targets for the next exploration program. One priority will be follow-up work to test the recently delineated targets in the northwest extension “offset” area. This would require a minimum of five diamond drill holes, each 200 – 300 meters in length, and totaling 1,250 meters. This agreement to acquire up to a 75% interest in the FG Gold Property represents a diversification of Canarc’s growth strategy to create value for shareholders. Firstly, Canarc can earn an interest in the existing gold resources for less than CDN$5 per oz. Secondly, Canarc views the property as having excellent exploration potential to significantly expand the gold resources. Thirdly, in a rising gold price environment, the FG Gold Property has the potential to become an attractive development project for future gold production. Canarc management plans to continue pursuing new gold acquisitions that have potential to add immediate gold oz to our gold inventory, as well as potential for either near term production or expanding resources and new discoveries. 1 Details of the gold resource can be found in “NI 43-101 Technical Report, Frasergold Exploration Project, Cariboo Mining Division, dated July 27, 2015” available on SEDAR or at Eureka’s website. The resource is calculated using a cut-off grade of 0.5 g/t. This resource is an historical estimate and a qualified Canarc person has not done sufficient work to classify the historical estimate as current mineral resources or mineral reserves. A more detailed review of the data used in the resource estimate is needed to verify the historical estimate as current mineral resources or mineral reserves. As a result the historical estimate is not being treated as a current mineral resource. This news release contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the United States private securities litigation reform act of 1995 and “forward-looking information” within the meaning of applicable Canadian securities legislation. Statements contained in this news release that are not historical facts are forward-looking information that involves known and unknown risks and uncertainties. Forward-looking statements in this news release include, but are not limited to, statements with respect to the potential future exercise of the Option, and the Company's plans and exploration programs for the Property and its other mineral properties, including the timing of such plans and programs. In certain cases, forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of words such as "plans", "has proven", "expects" or "does not expect", "is expected", "potential", "appears", "budget", "scheduled", "estimates", "forecasts", "at least", "intends", "anticipates" or "does not anticipate", or "believes", or variations of such words and phrases or state that certain actions, events or results "may", "could", "would", "should", "might" or "will be taken", "occur" or "be achieved". Forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause the actual results, performance or achievements of the Company to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. Such risks and other factors include, among others, risks related to the results of future exploration on the Property, the uncertainties inherent in the estimation of mineral resources; commodity prices; changes in general economic conditions; market sentiment; currency exchange rates; the Company's ability to continue as a going concern; the Company's ability to raise funds through equity financings; risks inherent in mineral exploration; risks related to operations in foreign countries; future prices of metals; failure of equipment or processes to operate as anticipated; accidents, labor disputes and other risks of the mining industry; delays in obtaining governmental approvals; government regulation of mining operations; environmental risks; title disputes or claims; limitations on insurance coverage and the timing and possible outcome of litigation. Although the Company has attempted to identify important factors that could affect the Company and may cause actual actions, events or results to differ materially from those described in forward-looking statements, there may be other factors that cause actions, events or results not to be as anticipated, estimated or intended. There can be no assurance that forward-looking statements will prove to be accurate, as actual results and future events could differ materially from those anticipated in such statements. Accordingly, do not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. All statements are made as of the date of this news release and the Company is under no obligation to update or alter any forward-looking statements except as required under applicable securities laws.

Is the Left Waging a War on Religion? Is the left waging a war on religion? Peter Beinart doesn’t think so, and published a piece in The Atlantic explaining how the war on religion is just a silly conservative canard. As obtuse as this argument might seem, his missive is instructive as a tutorial in how egregiously modern progressives fail to understand what religion is. Beinart takes his evidence from a recent study showing that many Americans feel pressured to exaggerate their level of religious observance. The study asked people in live phone surveys whether they attend religious services frequently. It then compared their answers to reports from online surveys asking the same question. The overwhelming majority of self-identified conservatives reported in both formats that they do attend religious services. Liberals were significantly more likely to admit in the online format that they do not. The presumption behind the study is that people feel more pressure to conform to social norms when they are talking to a live human being. This seems plausible. Thus, the disparity between liberals’ answers in live conversation as opposed to online surveys seems to indicate that they see religious observance as a good thing, and regard religious inactivity is a social negative that they feel some pressure to hide. The survey’s results are indeed interesting. Also interesting to me is the stigma that still evidently attaches to openly professed atheism (which Beinart also discusses). The brash, proselytizing, Richard Dawkins-style atheist may have some cache in our time, but evidence indicates that most people are still reluctant to be seen that way. But of course, the fact that Americans like to be regarded as (at least nominally) religious doesn’t in any way disprove the claim that the left is waging war on religion. Beinart’s confusion becomes obvious when he offers John Kerry and Barack Obama as examples of liberals who “flaunt” their religious associations. I suppose in a sense it’s true that these political figures “flaunt” their religion; they must pay regular lip service to their ostensible faith commitments, because if they didn’t, nobody would suspect them of having any. Most serious Christians I know regard these men’s public professions of faith as crass opportunism. All faithful Catholics I know are disgusted by the widespread scandal that is caused when apologists for the culture of death self-identify as Catholic. That’s what the “war on religion” types don’t get. Liberals may dislike the political views that religious conservatives espouse, but they’re quite sympathetic to religion itself. Of course, admitting that would make it harder for religious conservatives to play the victim—which is what the “war on religion” is really all about. So, Mr. Beinart. Allow me to pose a question. What do you take “religion itself” to be? I doubt he has reflected very deeply on the question; if he had he wouldn’t have written such a childishly simplistic piece. But we can make some strong guesses as to what he has in mind. Religion is a fairly complicated phenomenon, which tends to entail quite a number of things. On the most obvious, observable level, religions organize people into communities which provide mutual support and encourage good behavior. Liberals approve of that. There is considerable evidence, however, that churches that embrace this organizational function as their most central purpose tend to die pretty quickly. (This was the overwhelming lesson of the accomodationist experiments of the 1960’s and 1970’s.) That’s reflective of another well-confirmed fact: people who view religion primarily as a form of moral calisthenics tend to stop going to church, even if, as this survey suggests, they feel a little bit bad about it. The ones who keep coming are the ones who are there to worship God. Religion survives when it offers transcendence, and a fully fleshed-out worldview that contains life-guiding metaphysical and moral claims. Of course, the problem with that kind of religion is that it really does influence the way people live. Liberal progressives find that distasteful, particularly insofar as religion poses an obstacle to their attempts to remake the culture completely according to their own views and preferences. If we religious conservatives would just get over ourselves and start accepting that church is just a happy occasion for singing songs, drinking coffee with friends, and re-affirming our general commitment to niceness, think how much better the world could be! Beinart has absolutely no problem with that sort of religion. It’s ironic that Beinart quotes Ann Coulter claiming that politics is the “religion of the left”, and then goes on himself to suggest that it’s only “conservative politics” that he finds objectionable, and not religion. He could hardly have proven Coulter’s point more neatly. As an acolyte in the left’s political religion, Beinart naturally sees politics as the thing that’s worth discussing; religion is offensive insofar as it bleeds into the territory of topics about which he himself has strongly-held views. Nevertheless, he doesn’t believe that he’s anti-religion. He just wants religious people to be reasonable and discerning about their faith, which is to say, they should leave out all the parts that conflict with the views and priorities of liberal journalists like himself. Could we work a little harder, please, to enable the Peter Beinarts of the world to realize that their liberal materialism has a real and serious foe in religion? It depresses me to be dismissed as a paper tiger.

So much preparation and thought goes into your child when you have a child with special needs but it is well worth the effort. I feel that my children are better off with all the support and professional advice that we have received and continue to receive and apply as a result of their respective diagnoses than they would have been if they were any other child because it has forced me to be a more informed and conscious parent. Any of the things that I do with my boys are applicable to any other child for supporting, encouraging and helping them be the best that they can be (with vulnerabilities that they are not ashamed of).

This whole issue of American School of Aviation has become such an important issue for all of us in travel industry that we cannot just let it go. I was most concerned by the reports being published in American media which are very disturbing. According to some dropouts and current students of ASA which are right now hanging out in USA, this whole school is turning out to be one of the biggest scam in aviation history of USA and one of the biggest damage ever done to the Indian students by their own countrymen Manpreet ‘Prince’ Singh. With all due respect to all of you guys and gals who successfully completed your training from Amercan School of Aviation, I’m not sure whether you’ll be allow to fly in coming days as there are complaints which are suggesting that pilots were not given anough time in air. Amarnadh Kachepalli, a 26-year-old student from Andhra Pradesh, a state in India, left the school in March after three months because he only spent one hour in the sky training. Kachepalli said he believes he should have recorded about 80 hours in that time. School officials assured him that he could earn his pilot’s license in six to eight months, he said. Each student needs to spend about 200 hours in the sky and the same amount on the ground to qualify for license, Kachepalli said. Most of the early coursework is done in the classroom. A commercial license typically requires a year’s worth of training, he said. Kachepalli has been contacting various local, state and federal agencies as well as the Indian Consulate to see if they can force the school to return about $52,000, which includes his tuition, living expenses and the cost to transfer to a different school. He holds a master’s in business administration and said he left his job working for a hospital to come to America for a year. ASA is also being sued for $56,000 in unpaid fuel bills. Gemini Flight Support, which sells gasoline at the former Air Force base, filed a complaint Thursday in Merced County Superior Court against American School of Aviation. It alleges that a $24,400 check from the school bounced May 19 due to insufficient funds. ASA also has about $32,000 in outstanding invoices, according to the complaint. The flight school will also be investigated to see whether it was an accounting error or if the company knew the check would bounce, said Tom MacKenzie, spokesman for the Merced County Sheriff’s Department. The court case is among the recent issues with the flight school, which primarily trains foreign students, often from India, to become commercial pilots. It’s been at Castle Commerce Center since 2005. County officials grounded its flights earlier this month because the school no longer had a valid insurance policy, and Merced city leaders found that ASA was using its airport as makeshift training ground without a necessary business license. Also, a few students have been demanding that their tuition be returned because they’re unsatisfied with the amount of time they spent in the sky. A couple of others have won small claims against the school. Last month, a judge awarded student Shailendra Kapoor $7,500 for breach of contract and emotional stress, according to Merced court records. Tuition for a pilot’s license can run about $40,000. ASA president Manpreet Singh, who typically goes by Prince Singh, only responded by e-mail. He was served with a copy of the lawsuit late in the day and didn’t respond for comment about the civil case. Earlier in the day, he wrote that about 5 percent of the students are unhappy or drop out because their learning style doesn’t match up with the American School of Aviation’s standards. “And this is quite normal and expected,” he wrote. The business is in the middle of a restructuring so it can train more students. It’s preparing to move to a larger building at the former U.S. Air Force base. By August, Singh hopes to train about 300 students at a time. County spokesman Mark Hendrickson said Castle managers grounded the school’s flights May 15 when they learned the business’ insurance policy had lapsed. The county could have been held liable had any of the flights crashed. The ban was lifted Thursday when the school showed Castle officials that it had a new insurance policy, Hendrickson said. Prince Singh denied that the county ever grounded the school’s flights. The school’s planes were spotted at Merced Municipal Airport last week in the midst of the county’s flying ban. The city airfield was being used as a makeshift school until Thursday, city spokesman Mike Conway said. Airport officials were unsuccessful in contacting the school’s managers. ASA was operating without a business license, Conway said, which amounts to a misdemeanor. The city’s evaluating whether to call for an investigation. Stan Thurston, Gemini’s president, said he heard from a school manager that it was going to suspend its operation until next week. He won’t be selling the school any gasoline until the court case ends, either by a judge’s decision or when the school pays its outstanding bills. I still remember my very first agent workshop in Phuket, Thailand in Oct – Nov 2004. How I barged into that website of Language Travel magazine, I still don’t remember but afterwards there was no looking back. I signed my first real contracts with many International Colleges and Universities in my first Alphe Workshop in Phuket. The Alphe Conference involves face-to-face meetings of an half an hour each between agents (who recruit and advise students) and educators (who want international students to attend their institution). If you want to meet with educators and/or agents, then Alphe should be a part of your marketing strategy. Why I personally liked the Alphe workshops instead of other bigger names is because they are really professional people. There arrangements are really remarkable and their choice of hotels, food and sightseeing packages are all up to the mark. Its bad that they’d to stop the Alphe Asia workshops used to held in Phuket but still one can go the UK, Russia, Korea and Japan and last but not least, for agents like us it is all FREE OF CHARGE!!! apart from air ticket of course…….

The Gemara relates that inside the holy Aron, underneath the second set of Luchos lay the broken shards of the first Luchos that Moshe had shattered. Why would the fragments of the first Aron, which symbolized the nation’s calamitous sin of the golden calf, be placed alongside the second Luchos in the holiest place within the Mishkan? Chazal relate that our world is not the first that G-d created. “Hakadosh Boruch Hu borah olamos umachrivam- G-d created prior worlds and destroyed them.” What is the meaning behind this enigmatic statement? It is indeed a normal human trait to have numerous rough drafts before the final copy is written, but G-d is infallible. Why did He create worlds that He knew wouldn’t last? G-d created the entire cosmos with a single utterance of the letter ‘heh’, and He surely could have created the world perfectly the first time. However G-d wanted to demonstrate that in the physical world one cannot attain completion and perfection in one fell swoop. Just as one cannot wake up on the morning of the marathon and decide to run twenty-one miles without any prior preparation, so too one cannot instantly transform himself into a pure and righteous Jew. For mortals there is only one way to attain any level of perfection, and that is through struggling, and invariably falling. It is only from one’s pitfalls that one learns his vulnerabilities, and can properly prepare himself for his next bout within himself. Some time ago, an older Yeshiva student wrote a letter to Rav Yitzchok Hutner zt’l expressing feelings of despondency and spiritual defeat. The young man described that as a youngster he aspired for greatness and wanted to become a Torah scholar. But now that his teenage years were behind him, he felt like a failure. Though he was learning and accomplishing, he felt that his personal character faults were too numerous as would befit a future leader. He was very down on himself and turned to Rav Hutner for advice. Rav Hutner’s response is legendary. He began by stating that the root of the writer’s pain lies in a common misconception of what constitutes greatness. People think of greatness in terms of sitting comfortably and studying Torah and doing mitzvos while basking in the glow of spiritual euphoria. The biographies of our leaders sometimes depict men of angelic greatness and perfection. The problem is that our impressions of these spiritual giants stem from our familiarity with their stature and greatness generally in their old age, after decades of personal struggle and effort. But those struggles aren’t publicized. Rav Hutner noted that while we are all familiar with the towering greatness of the Chofetz Chaim and his vigilant tongue that never uttered an improper word, we do not know of the many internal battles he waged in order to accomplish that great level. The wisest of men noted that, “Shevah yipol tzaddik v’kom- A righteous person falls seven times and gets up.” The fool thinks the righteous person gets up despite his falls; the wise person understands that he can only ‘get up’ and grow because he falls. At the conclusion of creation just prior to Shabbos, the verse states, “And G-d viewed all that He created and behold it was very good.” Rashi explains, “‘Good’ refers to the good inclination; ‘very good’ refers to the evil inclination.” It is only through vanquishing one’s evil inclination that he can reach his potential. In that sense the evil inclination is deemed ‘very good’. This concept is true, not only regarding individuals but even to Klal Yisroel as a whole. In Kabbalah this concept is compared to a seed which only grows after it begins to rot. It is at the point when it looks like the seed has ceased to grow that the growth process actually begins. In our long and painful history we have seen the fruition of this idea many times. After many of the lowest points of our history we have emerged to rebuild from the ashes. The shards of the first Luchos were kept within the Aron to remind us that although the sin of the golden calf was a very dark page in our national book, it was also a catastrophe that we overcame. In that sense, the tragedy of the first Luchos contributed to Klal Yisroel’s ultimate growth. The Purim story began to unravel for Haman when he begrudgingly was forced to humiliate himself parading his archenemy, Mordechai, through the streets bellowing repeatedly, “Such shall be done to the man whom the king wishes to honor.” When the ordeal was finally over, Haman returned home and reassured his wicked wife Zeresh that despite that day’s occurrences he would still prevail. Zeresh however, was not convinced. The Megillah (Esther 6:13) records her response to Haman, “If Mordechai, before whom you have begun to fall, is from the seed of the Jews, you will not prevail against him, but will undoubtedly fall before him.” What made Zeresh so sure that Haman was a sure goner just because he had suffered a slight defeat to someone of Jewish descent? The Ben Ish Chai notes that Zeresh did not say Haman was doomed if Mordechai was from the ‘children’ of the Jews, but rather from the ‘seed’ of the Jews. Zeresh understood that Klal Yisroel possesses this seed-like quality. As soon as they have been persecuted to a certain point and ‘cracks begin to appear in the wall’, there is no way to stop them. Once their resilient “growth process” has begun G-d sends their salvation in the blink of an eye. If Mordechai belongs to the ‘seed of Klal Yisroel’ and Haman has begun to fall before him, the rotting process is over and a period of immense growth will inevitably follow. Just as wicked Zeresh warned, the completion of Haman’s downfall was soon too follow. The Gemarah in the second perek of Bava Metzia cites a lengthy halachic discussion whether or not we hold ‘Yiush shelo mida’as - One can relinquish ownership of an object subconsciously.” In a rare event the Gemarah agrees with the position of Abaye over Rava that one can indeed relinquish ownership of an object subconsciously and thus, ‘finder’s keepers’. The Kotzker Rebbe sees a lesson in the title of this topic by reading it homiletically, “Yiush- one who gives up”, i.e. on himself, “Shelo mida’as- (it’s because) he is lacking knowledge,” i.e. he has not contemplated his situation deeply enough. Parshas Parah details the process of purification for one who became ritually impure via contact with a dead body. Death means the end, the absolute conclusion of life. The process of purification symbolizes renewal and resilience. The concept of purity reminds us that a person can always achieve a spiritual revival, even when he feels a sense of spiritual death. A Jew can never give up on himself. So often it’s at those moments when he feels lost, that the rotting seed begin their rapid growth. After three months of virtually complete inactivity upon the barren winter-laden trees, buds have begun to form on the trees outside our New York homes. The bitter cold winter is paving the way for the advent of the rebirth of spring. Late Purim afternoon, a close friend of ours came to deliver shalach manos to our home with his children. He had that frazzled look many of us have as we try to deliver as many shalach manos as we can, while racing against the fleeting Purim clock, and battling the unmanageable Purim traffic. It can be quite frustrating and there’s not much recourse. Being that both Chani and I have students, we told our students we would be home after 2 p.m. After I finished laining Megillah in our home at 10 a.m. we packed everyone into the car to make our rounds. Most of our stops were at our children’s rebbes and teachers so that we could express our appreciation to them for all of their hard work. When we finally arrived home just before 2 p.m., we had the same sinking feeling we have every year when we find shalach manos at our door. This year among the other packages, there was one package that didn’t have a name on it, and we had no idea who it was from. All of this gave us a great idea for next year. We are going to leave anonymous shalach manos all around town. This way no one will know who gave it and everyone will have to love everyone more, because they might have given it. What an idea! Before you know it, there will be such an incredible proliferation of Ahavas Yisroel abounding. What a revolution. And no, I didn’t write this while I was drunk.

Primary biliary cirrhosis is a disease in which the bile ducts in your liver are slowly destroyed. Your body has an intricate system of ducts designed specifically to transport bile, a fluid produced in your liver. Bile is essential for the proper digestion of fats and helps rid your body of worn-out red blood cells, cholesterol and potentially toxic metals. In primary biliary cirrhosis, the destruction of your bile ducts can cause harmful substances to build up in your liver and sometimes lead to irreversible scarring of liver tissue (cirrhosis). The cause of primary biliary cirrhosis remains unclear. Many experts consider primary biliary cirrhosis an autoimmune disease in which the body turns against its own cells, although it's likely that genetic and environmental factors also play a part. Primary biliary cirrhosis develops slowly. Medication can slow the progression of the disease, especially if treatment begins early. Fatigue. This is the most common symptom of primary biliary cirrhosis. In general, energy levels are normal in the morning, but fall later in the day and don't improve with rest. Doctors haven't found any correlation between the degree of exhaustion and the severity of the illness. This means that people with mild primary biliary cirrhosis and those with more serious disease may be equally fatigued. Itching. Another common symptom, itching (pruritis), is often most bothersome over your legs, arms and back. The severity of itching may change, often becoming worse at night and improving during the day. Nighttime itching can disturb sleep, making fatigue worse and sometimes leading to depression. The cause of this severe itching isn't clear. Dry eyes and mouth (sicca syndrome). Sicca syndrome often occurs in people with other autoimmune disorders. It causes inflammation in the moisture-secreting glands of the eyes and mouth, resulting in the decreased production of tears and saliva. This can lead to difficulty swallowing, light sensitivity and corneal ulcers. Jaundice. A common sign of advanced liver disease, jaundice turns your skin and the whites of your eyes yellow. The discoloration is due to high blood levels of bilirubin, a byproduct of the breakdown of the hemoglobin from old or damaged red blood cells. Normally, bile carries bilirubin out of the liver so that it can be excreted from your body. But as more bile ducts are destroyed and the flow of bile slows, bilirubin begins to build up in the blood and eventually becomes visible in your skin and eyes. Hyperpigmentation. Inadequate bile flow increases the production of the skin pigment melanin. This causes your skin to become darker, even in areas that aren't exposed to the sun. Sometimes the deeper color isn't uniform, and your skin appears blotchy. Swollen feet (edema) and abdomen (ascites). As liver damage progresses, your body begins to retain salt and fluids. At first, the excess water accumulates mainly in your feet and ankles, which tend to become more swollen late in the day. In time, fluid can also collect in your abdomen. Cholesterol deposits (xanthomas). Your body uses bile as the main way of eliminating excess cholesterol. When disease interferes with this process, the amount of cholesterol in the blood increases. This can lead to the formation of fatty deposits in the skin around the eyes, the eyelids, or in the creases in the palms, soles, elbows, knees or buttocks. These raised, waxy growths usually don't appear until blood cholesterol reaches very high levels. Even then, not everyone with primary biliary cirrhosis develops them. Digestive problems. Because bile is essential for the digestion and absorption of fats, primary biliary cirrhosis can cause intestinal problems. These include diarrhea and steatorrhea — greasy, bad-smelling stools that result from poor fat digestion. Urinary tract infections. About one in five women with primary biliary cirrhosis experiences recurring urinary tract infections. The relationship between these infections and bile duct destruction isn't well understood. A few studies suggest that the same bacteria responsible for urinary tract infections may play a role in some cases of primary biliary cirrhosis. The exact cause of primary biliary cirrhosis isn't known, but it appears to be an immune system disorder that slowly destroys the bile ducts in your liver. Genetics and the environment also may play a role in this disease. Bile is a greenish-yellow fluid produced in the cells of the liver. It's essential for digesting and absorbing fats and is one of the main avenues for eliminating drugs, cholesterol and metabolic byproducts from the body. Within the liver, bile is excreted into canal-like spaces between the liver cells, which drain into an interconnected series of thin tubes (ducts). The initial ducts are quite small, but become progressively larger as they spread through the liver, much like the branches of a tree. Bile leaves the liver through the common hepatic duct — the "trunk" of the biliary tree — and enters the gallbladder, a small, pear-shaped organ just below the liver, through the cystic duct. The gallbladder stores bile in a highly concentrated form until you eat, when it's released into the common bile duct. From there, bile flows to the upper part of the small intestine (duodenum), where it begins to break down the fat in food. Most of the bile that enters the small intestine is returned to the liver for reuse. Ordinarily, nearly a quart of bile passes from the liver to the intestine every day. Primary biliary cirrhosis destroys the small ducts within the liver, slowing and sometimes blocking the normal flow of bile. The problem begins with inflammation in the smallest ducts in the liver. In time, the inflammation spreads to and destroys nearby liver cells. As these cells are destroyed, they're replaced by scar tissue (fibrosis). Over a period of years, the combination of ongoing inflammation, scarring and toxicity from trapped bile can lead to cirrhosis. Cirrhosis involves irreversible scarring of liver tissue that makes it impossible for the liver to carry out essential functions. Most evidence suggests that primary biliary cirrhosis is an immune system disorder. The initial inflammation begins with T lymphocytes (T cells) — white blood cells that normally recognize and help defend against bacteria and fungi. T cells invade and destroy the epithelial cells lining the small bile ducts. The T cells also produce chemicals that stimulate the epithelial cells to secrete proteins that attract more T cells, thereby creating an ongoing cycle of damage. Genetics. Primary biliary cirrhosis isn't transmitted from parent to child and so isn't considered a hereditary disease. Yet because it seems to run in families, researchers suspect that some people may inherit certain immune system defects that make them more susceptible to the disorder. Other immune system genes may play a role in disease progression. Infection. For decades, researchers have suspected that primary biliary cirrhosis might result from a bacterial, fungal or parasitic infection. That would explain the massing of T cells in the small bile ducts and why the disease has some anomalies that distinguish it from other autoimmune disorders. But no commonplace infections have been linked to primary biliary cirrhosis. Scientists are now focusing on retroviruses, the same type of virus that causes HIV/AIDS. Many people with primary biliary cirrhosis have no symptoms of the disease when they're diagnosed. Instead, doctors often become aware of a problem during routine blood tests or an evaluation for another condition. Liver function tests. These blood tests check the levels of enzymes that may indicate liver disease in general and bile duct injury in particular. Certain liver enzymes are elevated in most people with primary biliary cirrhosis, especially alkaline phosphatase, which is produced in the bile ducts. Ultrasound imaging. This noninvasive test uses high-frequency sound waves to create precise images of structures within the body, including the bile ducts. It's sometimes used to rule out other causes of bile flow blockage, such as gallstones or tumors. Anti-mitochondrial antibodies (AMAs). Found in every cell, mitochondria are the prime energy producers of the body. Antibodies are proteins in the blood that help destroy bacteria and other harmful pathogens. Most people with primary biliary cirrhosis have anti-mitochondrial antibodies — antibodies that target enzymes in the mitochondria. These antibodies almost never occur in people who don't have primary biliary cirrhosis, even if they have other liver disorders. For that reason, a positive AMA test is considered a very reliable indicator of the disease. At the same time, a small percentage of people with primary biliary cirrhosis don't have AMAs. False-positive tests, which indicate a problem where none exists, also can occur. Because an AMA test isn't entirely foolproof, doctors usually perform a liver biopsy, which can definitively confirm the presence or absence of the disease. Liver biopsy. In this test, a small sample of liver tissue (biopsy) is removed and examined in a laboratory, either to confirm the diagnosis or to determine the extent (stage) of the disease. Doctors withdraw the tissue through a small incision using a thin needle. Doctors may take more liver biopsies as time goes on to check the progression of the disease. Magnetic resonance elastography (MRE). This relatively new test can help your doctor diagnose primary biliary cirrhosis and may help avoid the need for liver biopsy, which is more invasive. MRE technology works by combining traditional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) with low-frequency sounds waves. The MRI component uses a magnetic field and radio waves to create clear and detailed cross-sectional images of your body, which show size and structure of your tissues and organs. The low-frequency sound waves then help reveal physical properties of those tissues and organs such as tissue stiffness. Stiffness of your liver may indicate cirrhosis. In some cases, doctors may be able to discover if a person is at risk of primary biliary cirrhosis early. A 2007 study showed that first-degree relatives of those with primary biliary cirrhosis are more likely to have antibodies in their blood that increase their risk of the disease. If you have a first-degree relative who has primary biliary cirrhosis, your doctor can screen your blood for these antibodies. By knowing whether you have them, your doctor can more closely monitor you and may be able to provide treatment earlier, should you develop the disease. Early treatment is important and can help slow the progression of the disease.

There are many different ways to file for bankruptcy, and each is suitable for a specific type of situation. When a small business finds itself encountering financial challenges and unable to pay back its creditors in a timely manner, it may be appropriate to file for Chapter 11 bankruptcy. This type of bankruptcy is generally used by businesses, though small businesses are not as likely to take advantage of it as larger corporations because the process can be both complicated. Still there are very specific factors that make Chapter 11 attractive for a small business, including the fact that it is the only bankruptcy option that makes it possible for a business owned by a partnership, limited liability company or corporation to continue operating while restructuring. It also provides benefits for those who are interested in reorganizing their liabilities but who are too deeply in debt to qualify for a Chapter 13 bankruptcy filing. People are generally familiar with the term Chapter 11 as it related to big corporations with household names. These big companies are able to go to bankruptcy court to seek approval for reorganizing their debts without having to shutter their businesses, thus providing them with an opportunity to get their feet back under them and regain profitability. Chapter 11 allows companies to do what it deems appropriate, including liquidating assets or shutting down parts of the company, in order to restore their business to a state of health. Though we tend to think of major companies when we mention Chapter 11, there are a number of rules that make this type of bankruptcy filing particularly attractive to owner/operators of small businesses that are in debt. As a result of these special considerations, a Chapter 11 bankruptcy can often move along much faster than other types of filings, at much reduced expense. Businesses that classify as “small business debtors”, which generally encompass those that owe less than $2,490,925, file “small business cases.” They are often able to avoid the requirement of having a creditors’ committee to represent the interests of unsecured creditors and are provided with a longer exclusive period to propose plans counter to those submitted by their creditors. They can also waive the requirement to submit a disclosure statement. By the same token, small business cases have additional filing and reporting duties and must submit to additional U.S. Trustee oversight. One of the biggest challenges that can come up when a business files a Chapter 11 bankruptcy is being charged with preference in the payment of a debt in the days prior to filing for bankruptcy. There is a 90-day window established prior to the filing, and when payments are made during that period of time, or for as long as a year prior to filing bankruptcy for payments made to family members or business partners, the debtor can be accused of being preferential in their transfer of assets and the creditors may be asked to return what they have been paid. Though there are a number of highly effective defenses against this charge, it is important to utilize the services of an experienced Philadelphia bankruptcy attorney in order to successfully make the argument that the payment was made as part of the normal course of business. Making the decision to file Chapter 11 bankruptcy is momentous, but it is only the beginning of the process. The best way to ensure that the filing is submitted properly and that you get all of the advantages to which you are entitled is to have an experienced Philadelphia bankruptcy attorney by your side, representing you and making sure that your rights are protected and that every step is properly taken. The attorneys at Erik B. Jensen P.C. have extensive experience in successfully representing many Philadelphia clients in their Chapter 11 bankruptcy filings. Call us today to set up an appointment to see how we can make the process go smoothly for you.

A research and development project focused on advancing new technologies to prevent and detect pipeline leaks is moving ahead after receiving approval and a $1.6 million grant from the North Dakota Industrial Commission (NDIC) this week. Leaders within the oil and gas industry in the state proposed the Intelligent Pipeline Integrity Program (iPIPE) in direct response to a challenge made by Governor Doug Burgum last year to eliminate pipeline leaks through innovation. The grant will be matched by private contributions made by industry partners in the program, for an overall cost of $3.7 million.

Why do low latitude locations receive more heat than places closer to the poles? The suns rays are more scattered as you move away from the equator. This is because the curvature of the earth means places closer to the poles face away from the sun. How is a high pressure area different to a low pressure area in terms of weather? High pressure areas receive less rainfall as the sinking air prevents the formation of clouds. Low pressure areas have rising air that cools and forms clouds to they get more rainfall. What are the atmospheric circulation cells called? Hadley cell, ferrel cell and polar cells. What four factors cause the climate to chmange over the past 400,000 years. Orbital activity, solar output, volcanic activity and asteroids. How do these four things affect the climate. Volcanic eruptions and asteroids put large amounts of dust into the atmosphere. Orbital change means the earth is slightly closer to the sun over ling periods of time. Give evidence that shows the earths climate was warmer/ cooler. Analysing the gases trapped in layers of ice, the thickness of tree rings (thicker=warmer), historical evidence (drawings). How have each of these increased the greenhouse effect: transport, industry, energy production, farming. Farming: cows produce methane and trees are cleared for crops releasing CO2. Energy: power plants are using fossil fuels. Industry: production of cement produces a lot of CO2 and industrial waste which decays releasing methane. Transport: most transport run on fossil fuels. Car owner shop is increasing so more traffic. Fact file for cyclones: pressure, rotation, direction, structure, location. Pressure: water rising causes low pressure. Rotation: the earths rotation deflects the wind causing it to spin. Direction: they travel away from the equator where they slowly loose energy. Where does the energy for the tropical cyclone come from? Water rising and cooling and condensing realses a lot of latent heat energy. Sophisticated monitoring system gave an early warming to the USA where as Myanmar had a 48 hour warning from india.flood defences were put up in the us but failed, Myanmar had no defences so 140,000 people dies where as 1800 people died in the US. What is the core, mantel and crust. Core (iron and nickel) 4400 - 6000 degrees. Mantle(silicon) 1000-3700. Crust silicon based rock. What is a hotspot volcano. Volcanoes that have formed from s plume of magma rushing up and breaking the crust. It is in the middle of a tectonic plate. What is the focus and epicentre? The focus of the earthquake is the place where the earthquake starts. An epicentre is a deeper earthquake causing less damage.

Campaigners will be at the Scottish Parliament on Wednesday to press home the message that the Scottish Government’s cuts of funding for employment programmes in Edinburgh will hurt people who most need help at this time of economic difficulties. This takes place on the day that the motion on this topic from Sarah Boyack MSP will be debated at lunchtime in the Scottish Parliament – Wednesday 9 March. At a briefing for MSPs before the debate, trainees from Four Square’s Connected programme will launch the short video clip which they have made for the campaign. Representatives of other projects and of UNISON will also be there to speak about the impact of these cuts. It is organised by the campaign to Save Edinburgh’s Jobless Services which will hand over a 500 name petition to Scottish ministers that day. “Our campaign is definitely having an impact” says Matthew Crighton of UNISON, speaking for the campaign. “This is not the first time it has been noticed in Parliament – in the budget debate on 9 February John Swinney, Finance Minister, said that ‘the Government will do what it can in the circumstances’. “But so far these cuts are still in place. We are hoping that the wide range of support which we have had for our petition and from Edinburgh MSPs will help persuade the government to change its mind”. Previous Post:If the need hasn’t gone away, why should the services?

RUSSELL Gard's boots are made for walking. And it's a good job too. RUSSELL Gard's boots are made for walking. And it's a good job too. The Ashton-based commercial director is on his way to Brazil to take part in an arduous 84km trek through the remote Chapada dos Veaseiros region. Russell is hoping to raise over £2,500 for MIND - the leading mental health charity in England and Wales - and will spend a total of ten days trekking across the mountainous region. "I'm very excited about the trip," said Russell. "Excited for myself and for the fact that I'm doing something to help other people. "The area is quite mountainous and dense and there's a spectacular waterfall too - it's going to be very special." Ashton Hurst councillors Alan Whitehead and Peter Joinson were delighted to arrange the sponsorship for Russell. "Tameside Council was only too happy to help Russell's fund-raising effort for MIND," said Cllr Alan Whitehead. "When Russell contacted us he explained that the amount he hopes to raise could fund the entire operation of the MIND Infoline for four days - helping over 400 people in the process." Cllr Joinson added: "Charities like MIND rely on people like Russell, and we were delighted to sponsor him for such a good cause. We all wish him all the best for his challenge."

Involuntary muscle contract, mostly appearing in form of consecutive convulsions. Tetraplegia is an effect of a damage of the spinal marrow on the level of the arms, the torso and the legs. When the spinal marrow on the level of the fourth cervical vertebra (or higher) is affected, the patient has to be respirated artificially, because at that point lies the nerve which is responsible for the phrenic (the main source of breathing). A person with tetraplegia is usually dependant on help in completion of daily life. The higher the level of the damage of the spinal marrow in the neck, the more limited is the person. Involuntary, vermicular moves, especially on the extremities, are called athetosis. Typical causes of that are perinatal damages of the brain (like the icterus neonatorum). Transitions to distonia and to choreatic malfunctions are fluent. During my birth I had an oxygen deprivation, because I had to be turned in the womb. Some of my braincells died in the process. Their loss leads to a paralysis and/or uncontrolled moves. I can move every part of my body, but every movement is uncontrolled. For example, if I want to lift my hand to my mouth, it’s only possible through a high rate of concentration. Or, if I’m holding a spoon in my hand, I can’t lift my hand to my mouth without dropping the spoon, since I can only concentrate on one thing at one moment. By trying both, my arm will only wobble in the open air. At this point, the athetosis is perceivable. Conclusion: I can only concentrate on one move. In the meantime, all other moves are uncontrolled. When I’m concentrating on hitting the right keys on my keyboard, I lose control about my legs, my sitting posture and my saliva. Because of my increasing hardness of hearing, I manage less and less to concentrate on listening to others while I’m working or eating. While I’m chewing, I can’t control the valve between the canal of saliva and the trachea. So my food frequently gets into the trachea and a cough overcomes me. To fold a piece of paper is an awry issue and very exhausting, because both hands are involved at the same time. When I write a SMS, I salivate like a waterfall, because with one hand I have to hold the mobile and with the other I have to hit the right keys. Because of the paralysis of my tongue, I can’t push the food to the side of my mouth to grind it with my back teeth. I only chew under my palatine or with my incisors. That is the reason why I hold my head up high while chewing, to make sure the food doesn’t fall out of my mouth. Because I mostly chew with my palatine, I give apples, grapes and so on a berth when I’m on the way. Those fruits have to be milled with a blender to create a mash. Otherwise, I swallow the pieces whole, and my stomach doesn’t buy that. Because I had to eat raw veggies when I was a child, though I couldn’t grind them, I lost my appetite on those things. When it is on my tongue, I’m speaking inarticulately. When it is in my stomach, I can’t eruct, so the air I swallowed while eating can’t get out. This creates a pression that sometimes forces me to throw up. When it chose my bladder for a change, I can’t have a slash, so I have to wait another hour. When the spasm affects the outer muscles of the thigh, the person has got O-legs (knees are bowed to the outside). Otherwise, if the spasm affects the inner muscles of the thigh (like in my case), X-legs are the result.

According to reports from Emirate News Agency on Jan. 19, two Middle East countries – Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates have come to an agreement for the creation of a cryptocurrency. A meeting was held in Abu Dhabi with all 16 members of the Executive Committee of the Saudi-Emirati Coordination Council where they discussed on the joint initiatives in the Strategy of Resolve. The strategy involves a joint vision of economic, social and military integration between the two countries. It is comprised of seven initiatives, notably financial youth training and development of a cross-border digital currency. One of the initiatives, as already mentioned, is the creation of a pilot cryptocurrency. It relies on the use of a distributed database between the banks from both sides. This is done “to safeguard customer interests, set technology standards and assess cybersecurity risks.” It will also examine the impact of a central currency on monetary policies. The report stated that the cryptocurrency will be targeted for banks during the experimental phase so as to better understand the blockchain technology and facilitate cross-border payments. The gulf has already been known to be very active in the Crypto space. From UAE itself, Dubai has announced that they will register their very first official crypto exchange. Last month, the customs authorities in Saudi Arabia has completed their pilot scheme which will link its cross-border trade platform FASAH with IBM and Maersk’s TradeLens blockchain platform. The Saudi-Emirati alliance have a very strong hold in terms of market capitalization and oil stock. They own a total of around 24.3 percent of the world’s total oil stock. According to World Bank data, they rank 8th in terms of exports of goods and services.

With declining fertility, barrier methods can be highly effective. Condoms remain the most popular barrier method and are widely available without prescription. Polyurethane condoms are available and are particularly suited to those with latex allergy. Diaphragms are popular with many couples and new female barrier methods are now available over the counter. A small, one size, disposable vaginal sponge is available over the counter. It is impregnated with a gel containing a combination of three different spermicides. In addition to the effects of the spermicides, the sponge forms a physical barrier over the cervix and absorbs sperm. In women over age 50, a spermicide is sufficient on its own since fertility is so low and can help with vaginal lubrication. Coitus interruptus or the ‘withdrawal’ method is not a reliable contraceptive at any age and you should consider other more effective methods. Although fertility awareness such as measuring changes in you temperature, checking your cervical secretions, and calculating your ‘safe period’ can be very effective for motivated women with regular menstrual periods, these methods become less reliable in perimenopause. Both of the methods used for emergency contraception in younger women, i.e. hormonal contraception or the copper IUD, can safely be used by perimenopausal women.

It’s not much of a stretch these days to say that technology is becoming essential to our daily lives. We trust so much to our technology, from our bank accounts and financial statements to sensitive medical records and even (potentially) embarrassing personal information. We have complex interactions with non-human entities in which we share information we probably wouldn’t be comfortable sharing with friends and family. When you step back and think about it, it really is remarkable how much we trust these systems. The vast majority of what we do online is reasonably safe. Most of the time, when we go on Amazon to order something, we don’t give it a second thought. But, how should small organizations or individuals think about securing sensitive information assets they control? What does security mean to them from the perspective of protection and production? As a consultant for a variety of organizations looking to minimize their risks, I have seen a major shift in the past few years when it comes to creating a security posture. Just the other day, I sat in the office for a client who was infected with a particularly nasty virus that led to significant downtime (which, of course, leads to lost productivity), as well as major expenses they had to incur in order to recover data that was destroyed in the process. And it wasn’t like this client didn’t have security products in place. Their network was firewalled, they had a managed antivirus product in place, spam filtering on their email, and a number of other tools that I would recommend for practically anyone who has important technology systems in place. While the tone of the meeting was friendly, there was also confusion. With all of these tools, how could it be that they could still have a user’s PC be infected by this damaging virus? Shouldn’t their Antivirus have prevented this from happening? Why would they have to worry about what’s coming into their email if they have spam filtering in place? This is where we have to take a step back and think about how what security really means. For this client, they had their system analyzed for security vulnerabilities a few years ago, and several actions were taken that closed system loopholes and also resulted in upgrades to their security tools. But the conversation needed to shift towards policies and behaviors. This is a small company, and the culture is very friendly. Certainly they have rules but at the same time, they don’t hover over their staff and micromanage their day-to-day work. When we discovered that the actual infection took place because a user opened an attachment that was malicious and made it through the spam filter, our client learned the most important principle I believe exists when it comes to managing security for technology: security has to be considered an ongoing discipline, and end users can’t rely solely on tools to protect them. Behaviors and policies matter. So when I work with my clients on developing a security posture in 2016, my vision has expanded outside of just the technology to include the way our clients work and the education they have of what is and is not risky behavior. I think when the headlines talk about Target’s breach or OPM’s hack, people feel as if the risk is someone stealing their things and that they don’t necessarily consider that real security requires them to be mindful of the way they work. Let’s go back to my client and their virus and use an analogy. Certainly most people would agree that getting a vaccination (anti-virus) should help you avoid the flu (viruses)…but it doesn’t always work. And if you got a vaccination, you should still avoid shaking hands with someone who is sneezing constantly (opening up questionable email attachments), right? My point is that everyone needs to rethink what it really means to be secure. True security requires both strong security tools to protect yourself from the myriad threats out there, as well as a strong program of training, acceptable use rules, incident response management and general mindfulness of the behaviors we engage in when using our technology.

This is a list of terms designed to assist you while shopping or learning about insurance. It is not meant to be all inclusive, but should help with your understanding of the most common terms. Accidental Death and Dismemberment (AD&D) Rider: A supplement to many life insurance policies that provides an additional cash benefit to the insured or his/her beneficiaries if an accident causes either the death of the insured or causes the insured to lose any two limbs or the sight in both eyes. Actual Cash Value: The value of property based on the cost of repairing or replacing it with property of the same kind and quality. Typically, actual cash value equals the current replacement cost minus depreciation (age, condition, length of time in use, and obsolescence). Adjuster: A person who investigates and settles losses for an insurance carrier. Agent: In insurance, the person authorized to represent the insurer in negotiating, servicing, or effecting insurance policies. Annual Out-of-Pocket Maximum: A dollar amount set by the plan which puts a cap on the amount of money the insured must pay out of his or her own pocket for covered expenses over the course of a calendar year. Annuity: A contract that provides for a series of periodic payments to be made or received at regular intervals. Applicant: The party applying for an insurance policy. Application: A printed form developed by an insurer that includes questions about the prospective insured and the desired insurance coverage and limits. Assigned Risk: A risk insured through a pool of insurers and assigned to a specific insurer. These risks are generally considered undesirable by underwriters, but due to state law or otherwise, they must be insured. Auto Collision Coverage: Optional auto insurance which pays for damage to your car caused by collision with another car or object, or by rolling the car over. Frequently required if you have a car loan. Auto Comprehensive Physical Damage Coverage: Optional auto insurance which pays for damage to your auto caused by things other than collision or rolling the car over, such as fire, theft, vandalism, flood or hail. Frequently required if you have a car loan. Automatic Premium Loan: A provision in some life insurance policies that authorizes a policy loan using the cash value accumulated by the insurance policy to pay for past due premiums at the end of the grace period. This prevents a lapse of coverage. Beneficiary: Any person, persons, or other entity designated to receive the policy benefits upon the death of the policyholder. Binder: A written or oral contract issued temporarily to place insurance in force when it is not possible to issue a new policy or endorse the existing policy immediately. A binder is subject to the premium and all the terms of the policy to be issued. Binding Receipt: A premium receipt acknowledging temporary insurance coverage immediately until the insurance company rejects the application or approves it and issues a policy. Broker: A marketing specialist who represents insurance organizations and who deals with either agents or companies in arranging for the coverage required by the customer. Buy-Sell Agreement: Agreement that a deceased business owner’s interest will be sold and purchased at a predetermined price or at a price according to a predetermined formula. Calendar Year Deductible: The amount of health care expenses that the insured person must pay before insurance payments for covered eligible expenses. Cancellation: The discontinuance of an insurance policy before its normal expiration date, either by the insured or the company. Case Management: A utilization management technique that addresses the medical necessity of care as well as alternative treatments or solutions, especially when the patient is likely to require very expensive treatment. Cash Value (cash surrender value): The cash amount payable to a life insurance policyowner in the event of termination or cancellation of the policy before its maturity or the insured event. Certificate of Insurance: A statement of coverage issued to an individual insured under a group insurance contract, outlining the insurance benefits and principal provisions applicable to the member. Claim: A person’s request for payment from an insurer for a loss covered by the insurance policy. Coinsurance Provision: A specified percentage of the cost of treatment the insured is required to pay for all covered medical expenses remaining after the policy’s deductible has been met. Collision Insurance: Protection against loss resulting from any damage to the policyholder’s car caused by collision with another vehicle or object, or by upset of the insured car, whether it was the insured’s fault or not. Commission: The amount of money, usually a percentage of the premiums that is paid to an insurance agent for selling an insurance policy. Comprehensive Auto Insurance: Protection against loss resulting from damage to the insured auto, other than loss by collision or upset. Compulsory Auto Liability Insurance: Insurance laws in some states required motorists to carry at least certain minimum auto coverages. This is called “compulsory” insurance. Conditions: The part of your insurance policy that states the obligations of the person insured and those of the insurance company. Contingent Beneficiary: In a life insurance policy, the person designated to receive the policy benefits if the primary beneficiary dies before the insured. Contract: A legally enforceable agreement between two or more parties. Conversion Privilege: The right to convert or change insurance coverage from an individual term insurance policy to an individual whole life insurance policy. Convertible Term Life Insurance: A type of term life insurance that offers the policyowner the option to exchange the term policy for a form of permanent insurance. Copay: The fee you pay for certain medical services or for each prescription. For example, you may pay $20 for an office visit or $10 to fill a prescription and the health plan covers the balance of the charges. (1) A fee that many insurance plans require an insured to pay for certain medical services (such as a physician’s office visit). (2) An amount that the insured must pay toward the cost of each prescription under a prescription drug plan. Creditable Coverage: The pre-existing condition exclusion is reduced one month for every month that a person had coverage in a previous qualifying plan as long as the gap in coverage between the previous plan and the new plan is 63 days or less. Declination: The insurer’s refusal to insure an individual after careful evaluation of the application for insurance and any other pertinent factors. Deductibles: The portion of the loss that the policyholder agrees to pay out of pocket, before the insurance company pays the amount they are obligated to cover. For example, if the covered claim is $1000 and your deductible is $250, you pay $250 and your company will pay $750. Deductibles help to keep insurance rates reasonable. Raising the amount of the deductible lowers the cost of insurance. Dependent: A person for whom the insured has some legal obligation to. For most plans, it is the insured’s spouse and/or children. Some plans also allow non-traditional spousal relationships (significant other, life-partner, etc.) to be considered a dependent with some additional certifying paperwork. Depreciation: Reduction in the value of property due to age and use. Double Indemnity: A provision in a life insurance policy, subject to specified conditions and exclusions, under the terms of which double the face amount of the policy is payable if the death of the insured is the result of an accident. In general, the conditions are that the insured’s death occurs prior to a specified age and results from bodily injury effected solely through external, violent and accidental means independently and exclusively of all other causes, within 60 or 90 days after such injury. Emergency Room Visit: A visit to a hospital for treatment of an accidental injury or for emergency medical care. To qualify as an emergency, the symptoms must be sudden, severe and require immediate medical attention. Some states judge emergencies by the “prudent layperson” law, meaning that the health plan must cover a trip to the emergency room “if a prudent layperson, acting reasonably, would have believed that an emergency medical condition existed.” Keep in mind that some plans won’t cover a trip to the emergency room if the symptoms appeared more than 24 hours earlier. Endorsement: Attachment or addendum to an insurance policy; an endorsement changes the contract’s original terms. Exclusions and Limitations: Conditions, situations and services not covered by the health plan. Extended Term Life Insurance: A nonforfeiture benefit under which the net cash value of the policy is used to purchase term insurance for the amount of coverage available under the original policy. Face Amount: The amount stated in the life insurance policy as the death benefit. Floater: Additional coverage for items not otherwise included in the basic policy (such as jewelry or antiques). Group Health Insurance: An insurance plan designed for a group, such as employees of a single employer. Insurance is provided to them under a single policy. Guaranteed Renewable Policy: A health insurance policy that the insurer is required to renew – as long as premiums are paid – at least until the insured attains the age limit specified in the policy, or the policy is cancelled by the insured. The insurer may increase the premium rate for any class of guaranteed renewable policies. Guaranty Association: Established by each state to support insurers and protect consumers in the case of insurer insolvency, guaranty associations are funded by insurers through assessments. HIPPA – Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996: Under this federal law (known as HIPAA), group health plans cannot deny coverage based solely on an individual’s health status. This law also gives employees who change or lose their jobs better access to health coverage, guarantees renewability and availability to certain employees and limits exclusions for pre-existing conditions. For example, under this law, group health plans must credit any employee the amount of time that they spent on any health plan prior to the new plan, which is known as “prior credible coverage.” A pre-existing condition will be covered without a waiting period when an employee joins a new group plan if the employee has been insured for the previous 12 months with credible health insurance, with no lapse in coverage of 63 days or more. This means that if an employee has been insured for 12 months or more, the employee will be able to go from one job to another and his or her pre-existing coverage will remain intact – without additional waiting periods. However, if an employee has a pre-existing condition and was not covered previously for 12 months before joining a new plan, the longest the employee will have to wait for their pre-existing coverage to be covered is 12 months. HMO (Health Maintenance Organization): A health care financing and delivery system that provides comprehensive health care for subscribing members in a particular geographic area using managed care techniques. Most HMOs require that you only utilize physicians within their network, often going so far as to require you to choose a primary care physician who directs most courses of your treatment. Indemnification: Compensation to the victim of a loss, in whole or in part, by payment, repair, or replacement. Indemnity: Legal principle that specifies an insured should not collect more than the actual cash value of a loss but should be restored to approximately the same financial position as existed before the loss. Insolvent: Having insufficient financial resources (assets) to meet financial obligations (liabilities). Insurable Risk: The conditions that make a risk insurable are (a) the peril insured against must produce a definite loss not under the control of the insured, (b) there must be a large number of homogeneous exposures subject to the same perils, (c) the loss must be calculable and the cost of insuring it must be economically feasible, (d) the peril must be unlikely to affect all insureds simultaneously, and (e) the loss produced by a risk must be definite and have a potential to be financially serious. Incontestable Clause: A life insurance policy wording that provides a time limit (e.g., two years) on the insurer’s right to dispute a policy’s validity based on material misstatements in the application.

Standard Industrial Classification (SIC): The Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) system is a series of number codes that attempts to classify all business establishments by the types of products or services they make available. Establishments engaged in the same activity, whatever their size or type of ownership, are assigned the same SIC code. These definitions are important for standardization. Insurance companies use SIC codes to determine specific rates for various industries. HealthInsurance.com uses these codes to ensure that you receive the best possible rate for your occupation.

Standard Risk Rate: The risk category that is composed of proposed insureds who have a likelihood of loss that is not significantly greater than average. Subrogation: Subrogation refers to an insurance company seeking reimbursement from the person or entity legally responsible for an accident after the insurer has paid out money on behalf of its insured.

This type of policy does not build up any cash or nonforfeiture values. Theft Limit (or Inside Policy Limits): The highest amount an insurance company will pay on certain items of personal property. For instance, some policies have a $5,000 limit for computers. If an item would cost more than the limit to replace, you may need to purchase supplementary coverage. Umbrella Liability Insurance: Umbrella liability insurance is becoming more popular as people are realizing how inexpensive an umbrella policy and umbrella coverage can be. See how umbrella liability protection can be a nice added cushion of insurance on top of your existing policies. Underwriter: (a) A company that receives the premiums and accepts responsibility for the fulfillment of the policy contract; (b) the company employee who decides whether or not the company should assume a particular risk; (c) the agent who sells the policy. Underwriting: The process of reviewing applications for coverage. Applications that are accepted are then classified by the underwriter according to the type and degree of risk. Unilateral: A distinguishing characteristic of a life insurance contract in that it is only the insurance company that pledges anything. The policyowner does not even promise to pay premiums; therefore, it is really a one-sided contract favoring the policyowner. Uninsured (Underinsured) Motorist Coverage: A form of insurance that pays the policyholder and passengers in his/her car for bodily injury caused by the owner or operator of an uninsured or inadequately insured automobile. Uninsurable Risk: One not acceptable for insurance due to excessive risk. Universal Life: Flexible premium, two-part contract containing renewable term insurance and a cash value account that generally earns interest at a higher rate than a traditional policy. The interest rate varies. Premiums are deposited in the cash value accounts after the company deducts its fee and a monthly cost for the term coverage. Urgent Care: Urgent care is appropriate when a medical urgency arises which necessitates immediate care, but has not reached the level of extreme emergency. Most managed care plans require you to seek urgent care at a participating urgent care facility or hospital. Usual, Customary and Reasonable Fee: The maximum dollar amount of a covered expense that is considered eligible for reimbursement under a major medical policy. Waiver: An agreement attached to a policy which exempts from coverage certain disabilities or injuries that otherwise would be covered by the policy.

Fun and fresh is exactly what this wedding photographed by Justin & Keary Weddings is all about. Bright flowers fill the bouquets, while colorful flags and confetti are scattered about the lush green setting. If the bride and groom are anything like the decor, I’d expect nothing less than a real good time! From the bride’s sister, Heather: When it came time to planning a celebration fit for Holly and Omri, there was never a question which direction we’d go. It had to be bright and colorful. Cheery and fresh. Family-based and fun. A reflection of the bride and groom-to-be, in an unexpected blend of culture and tradition. We chose a play on a rainbow theme, with a mix of vintage and modern vibes, finding inspiration in the simplicity of colors and textures themselves. The wedding came together even more beautifully than we could have imagined, full of handmade goodness and intimate charm. It was a gorgeous, unforgettable day… so perfectly suited for the happy couple. Love all the unique DIY touches. A wedding photographer’s delight! What a great outdoor wedding location. Loved each and everything about the wedding. The use of bright beautiful colors for the decoration looks so beautiful. I love the posing of the bride and groom! Great colors; so fresh and the pictures show the personality of the bride, groom and wedding!

No matter how wonderful this time of year may be at its core, the pressure to consume — ever-growing wish lists! Sisyphean shopping trips! skyrocketing credit card bills! — can easily overshadow all that warmth and fuzziness. If that sounds familiar, it may be time to add a new tradition to the list: family giving. “Teaching our children the joy of volunteering and ritualizing time spent with loved ones will have a far more lasting impression than a toy or game that they want at the moment,” says David Klow, a licensed marriage and family therapist in Chicago and the founder of Skylight Counseling Center. In fact, spreading good cheer may be the key to joy during the holiday season: A study by the American Psychological Association found that giving makes people feel better than receiving. The best part? You’re never too young to give back. Read on for ideas to suit every age group; then make this the year that giving brings as much joy to your children’s faces as receiving. Turn your preschoolers into elves, inspiring them to spread cheer throughout your community. Who doesn’t love an art project? Hold a “Dear Hero” workshop for your little ones and their friends to make holiday cards for service members, or talk to your child’s preschool teacher about integrating it into the curriculum. (Check out the Red Cross “Holidays for Heroes” card drive program.) Explain that the cards can help lift the spirits of soldiers who are away from home during the holiday season while thanking them for their service, then set out paper, crayons, markers, and stickers and let them have at it (save the confetti and glitter for another project). It’s best to get these letters out before Thanksgiving in order to allow them enough time to be sent overseas and arrive by Christmas. Whether you have a dog or cat at home or your little ones simply love animals, consider donating to an animal shelter. Local organizations including Felines & Canines, PAWS Chicago, and Wright-Way Rescue are always in need of items like food, treats, towels and blankets, kitty litter and boxes, heating pads, cleaning supplies — the list goes on and on. Bring your kids to the store to pick things out, and let them tag along to deliver the goods, too. Who knows? They may even have the opportunity to hang out with a four-legged friend or two. Another great way for little ones to express gratitude is by baking holiday treats for local firefighters or police officers. While the cookies are in the oven, talk with your children about how these first responders protect the community (Richard Scarry’s “A Day at the Police Station” is a great way to get the conversation going). Your kids will have a blast dropping them off — and if you love the tradition you can keep it going by bringing treats to the stations on 9/11, the Fourth of July, or at random. Talk with your elementary-school-age children about income inequality and homelessness, motivating them to give from their hearts — and their piggy banks. While your family is shopping for presents this year, encourage your child to use a portion of his or her own money to purchase a toy or game for a low-income or disabled child. The Chicago-based nonprofit Grant a Wish, for example, holds an annual holiday drive where companies and individuals can shop for children who may not otherwise receive gifts during the holiday season. Among the common items on the wish lists are toys, games, shoes, coats, dolls, electronic educational games, and cold-weather accessories — and gift givers are asked to cap spending at $60. Encourage your children to spend some of their allowance to purchase items for care packages that can be donated to homeless shelters. Before you go shopping together, it’s a good idea to call ahead to see what items are most needed, including clothing sizes that are in the highest demand. Items shelters often request include unopened travel-size toiletries, such as shampoo, conditioner, soaps, deodorant, toothpaste, toothbrushes, disposable razors, and lotion, and you can also consider donating multivitamins, tampons, reading glasses, and new or gently used clothing. For a list of organizations in your community, read our donation guide. Talk with your kids about how one in five children in Cook County struggle to access healthy food and are at risk of hunger, then offer to help organize a food drive at school or in your neighborhood. The Greater Chicago Food Depository has hundreds of drop-off spots in the city and suburbs. In addition to gathering nonperishables, your child can drum up financial donations online. Incredibly, the Food Depository’s wholesale purchasing power allows it to double or even triple the amount of food your dollar can purchase at a grocery store. Teach your teens the value of volunteering by encouraging face-to-face interaction with the less fortunate in your community. Serving a meal to the homeless or delivering groceries to the elderly can be a great volunteer opportunity for teenagers. Check out Common Pantry, an organization that’s been helping combat hunger in Chicago for more than five decades. The nonprofit delivers food to elderly clients, has a hot lunch program, and distributes fresh fruits and vegetables on a monthly “Produce Day.” Families can even sign up to bag groceries to be delivered to elderly clients. Note that this is an option recommended for children who are at least 8 years old and are accompanied by a parent or caregiver. The pantry also hosts Thursday shelf re-stocking and welcomes children who are 10 and older with an adult. During winter break, teenagers can also find a wide variety of volunteer activities through Chicago Cares, which links volunteers with projects. Among the opportunities are playing Bingo with low-income seniors, who may feel lonely or isolated; reading to children to help improve their literacy; or assisting in a food pantry that serves low-income individuals affected by HIV and AIDS. On a more informal basis, your teenager can keep an eye on the weather reports (holiday breaks are a great time for this). When a snowy day is in the forecast, they can wake up early and help shovel walkways for elderly neighbors who have mobility issues or might slip on the ice. Your teen can even use social media to help gather fellow shovelers. That’s exactly what a community organizer in Chatham did earlier this year: A tweet asking for 10 volunteers ended up netting 120, and the story of a community coming together to shovel together went viral.

Vodafone is reported to have wasted millions of pounds on a number of three year TV carriage deals with broadcasters. The telecoms company was planning to launch an internet-based television service to go alongside its recently re-launched landline and home broadband service. But earlier this year it suddenly pulled the plug on the project. The Telegraph reports that Vodafone has approached broadcasters seeking an exit deal from its carriage contacts, which will leave the company subject to penalty payments as it attempts to tear up contracts. It also means Vodafone won't be able to restart plans for a TV service anytime soon. Telecoms companies have increasingly moved to providing a TV service with their broadband internet products as a way to retain / lock in customers, often with a lengthy contract. Vodafone UK has in recent years partnered with Sky's Now TV service, offering access on mostly premium mobile price plans. In other countries, Vodafone has become a more prominent TV platform operator, operating cable and internet TV services, including the former Kabel Deutschland network in Germany. Vodafone wouldn't comment on the reports.

Celebrating its 30th anniversary this year, the annual Fall Festival of Shakespeare will bring hundreds of teenagers from 10 different high schools to the Tina Packer Playhouse at Shakespeare & Company Thursday, Nov. 15, through Sunday, Nov. 18. The four-day festival marks the culmination of the nine-week program that places Shakespeare & Company education artists in high schools in Berkshire and Hampden counties in Massachusetts as well as and Columbia County in New York. The Fall Festival of Shakespeare was the subject of a two-year study by students from the Harvard Graduate School of Education. In summarizing the research, the students recommended replication and adaptation in every high school in the nation. The festival has inspired long-running similar programs in Atlanta, Georgia; Chicago, Illinois; Portland, Oregon; and DePauw University in Indiana. Replications are taking shape in San Diego, California; Toronto, Canada; Long Island, New York; and Portland, Maine. The ethics and aesthetics of the festival have influenced teachers from nearly every state through support from both the National Endowment for the Arts and the National Endowment for the Humanities.

However, barely 24 hours after the disaster, the state governor, Babatunde Fashola ordered that the Agbowa relief camp, Ikorodu be opened for the displaced victims. Vanguard leant that the fire disaster occurred at about 3:00 p.m. on Monday and razed the three buildings on Nos. 34,35 & 36 Obi Osa Street, Off Baruwa Bus Stop, Ijesa, destroying property worth several millions. Information officer of the National Emergency Management Agency, NEMA, Mr. Ibrahim Farinloye, while speaking to Vanguard, yesterday, said that three houses were razed by the inferno and one person sustained injury while trying to escape the scene. Confirming the action of the state governor, the General Manager of the Lagos State Emergency Management Agency, LASEMA, Dr. Femi Oke-Osanyintolu said the agency was prompt in responding to the fire out-break through the Local Emergency Management Committee in Itire-Ikate Local Council Development Area. Oke-Osanyintolu said LASEMA, as the first responder came to the scene to complement the work of the local emergency management committee. The LASEMA General Manager said investigation was on-going to ascertain the cause of the fire. “The fire incident resulted in displaced people. As a consequence of this, the governor has directed that the Lagos State Relief Camp in Agbowa be opened. “LASEMA has therefore commenced the evacuation of the Internally Displaced People, IDP, to the Agbowa Relief Camp as directed by the governor of the state,” he said. Oke-Osanyintolu said the agency had begun the enumeration of the displaced persons and would relocate them to the camp anytime from now.

Instead of working on the National Holiday, we did a little trip to Ghent. My neighbour has an old tug, nicely converted into a houseboat. We drove it to Ghent, enjoyed the nice weather and had a lot of fun! One of the reasons why I like Beernem is the amount of traffic on the canal. I've seen a lot of nice boats passing by. Sadly enough, I was often to late to take a picture.

Background: Since the year 2000, Uganda has experienced repeated outbreaks of viral hemorrhagic fevers (VHF). Ebola VHF outbreak occurred in the districts of Gulu in 2000, Bundibugyo, 2007, Luwero, 2011, Kibaale in July 2012, Luwero in November 2012. Marburg VHF was earlier reported in Ibanda in 2007. More recently in 2012, two outbreaks of Marburg VHF have occurred in Ibanda and Kabale districts. Objective: To present the epidemiological picture of the Marburg VHF recently reported in Ibanda and Kabale districts and propose research questions to generate evidence to mitigate future epidemics. Methods: A case definition for a VHF was developed. A frequency distribution of symptoms of confirmed and probable cases was done. Descriptive analyses of reported cases using simple percentages, percent distributions and computation of means was performed. Results: The Marburg epidemic was reported in early September and by November 2012, a cumulative of 14 cases (9 confirmed and 5 probable) including 7 deaths had been registered, giving a case fatality rate (CFR) of 50%. A total of 202 contacts had been listed; out of which 193 had completed the 21-day follow-up period. The index case was a 33-year old male, a teacher at Nyakatukura Secondary School in Ibanda district. He travelled to Ibanda from Kabale, his home district on 31st August 2012, reportedly healthy. He fell sick on 3rd September 2012 with complaints of fever, headache, loss of appetite and general body weakness. Overall, the dominant symptoms for all cases were fever, vomiting, loss of appetite, headache, abdominal pain, fatigue, diarrhea, and the least in occurrence was bleeding which accounted for 35.5% of all the cases. Conclusion: The source of infection for all the five Ebola Hemorrhagic fever outbreaks in Uganda and the recent Marburg VHF outbreak in Ibanda and Kabale is not known. Currently there is suspicion that there could be an animal reservoir of the Ebola and Marburg viruses from where occasional spillage into the human population occurs resulting in disease outbreaks. This and other hypotheses require further investigation.

The Cross Institutional Bioimaging Ph.D. course is interdisciplinary and cross-institutional and will be given by a series of lecturers who are experts within each their field of bioimaging. The course will take place at different institutions in order to expose the students to different research groups, their researchers and experimental research facilities. The course will thus give the students a unique opportunity of orienting him or herself within an active and diverse field of interdisciplinary science within bioimaging. The course is relevant for PhD students within medicine, physics, chemistry, biochemistry, molecular biology, nano-bioscience, pharmaceutical sciences, agricultural science or biology. The emphasis of the course is a tour of all bioimaging techniques available in Denmark and will cover subjects like live cell imaging, spinning disk microscopy, electron microscopy, photoactivated localization microscopy, single particle techniques, structured illumination, stimulated emission depletion microscopy, imaging of neurons and cell migration. The course starts September 9th 2019, and consecutive Mondays for 10 weeks at 4 different universities and by different lecturers. Each day of the course covers around 8 hours, from 09:30-17:30. In general, the morning session will consist of a set of lectures and the afternoon session will predominantly involve either the student’s active participation in experiments, specific numerical exercises, or inspection of the local experimental facilities. The workload of the course corresponds to 10 ECTS points (under approval at PhD committee at SDU at the moment), the total workload includes reading material for each lecture and the preparation of the final talk (presentation). Credit for the course requires the student’s presence at 8 of 10 lectures. For missed lectures students will have to write 3 page reports on the topic of the missed lecture. Also the students presence on the exam is mandatory. The course is evaluated with: Internal oral examination with co-examiner assessed passed/not passed at KU and SDU depending where for students it is more convenient. 20 minutes presentation of a project and 15 minutes questions from examiners and from a student opponent. Each student has to be an opponent for one presentation of another student. In the presentation each student has to present a description of an experiment using one of the applications described in the course and include an image analysis strategy. The task for the presentation will be given in advance (on the last lecture day the 11th of November). In order to get credits for the course, every student has to be present at all the other students’ talks in their session (at KU / SDU) on the exam day. Will be announced every week during the course. All materials will be published on the open black board platform (SDU). The course provides an introduction to the essential grounding in the basic principles of electron microscopy, covering topics such as electron optics, electromagnetic lenses, principles of transmission and scanning electron microscopy, electron sources, vacuum systems, specimen-electron interactions and diffraction. The state-of-the-art facilities available at CFIM allow for a strong practical element of demonstrations of both cryo- and room temperature electron microscopy. The course will be run by experienced microscopists in a relaxed atmosphere with the aim of promoting discussion and exchange of ideas between students and tutors. In this lecture we will focus on how to study receptor trafficking using imaging technologies. We will go through methods to follow endocytic receptors from the surface and through the endo-lysosomal system and demonstrate how we analyse if receptors are transcytosed in polarised endothelial and epithelial cells. The course will cover the basics concepts of preclinical nuclear medicine techniques using PET/SPECT/CT imaging modalities. The theory behind the techniques will be presented followed by hands-on experience in the laboratory. Photoactivatable localization microscopy (PALM) is a recent developed technique which is optimal for membranes. It takes benefit from activating a subset of the fluorophores at each timepoint in the sample and reconstituting the full image from mapped positions in a series of images. K-space image correlation spectroscopy is a technique in which the bulk diffusion coefficient is calculated after conventional epi fluorescence or TIRF imaging. The image analysis course at DTU Compute is focused on two topics that are relevant for biomedical image analysis. The first topic is pixel classification, where the goal is to assign a relevant label to a given pixel. Labels are normally predefined like for example background, nuclei, and membrane. The classification is based on a using a training set of images to create a statistical assumption on the distribution of pixel values within the classes. The second topic is BLOB analysis, where the goal is to classify objects in an image based on their shape. Typical examples are nuclei detection in cell images or organ identification in medical scans. Confocal Raman imaging is a label free imaging technique based entirely on molecular vibrations. This course will include an introduction to basic working principles and choice of instrumentation including lasers, microscopes and spectrometers. In addition, there will be an introduction to pre-processing and analysis of Raman imaging data.

2014 Vauxhall Astra GTC will be more powerful on the road thanks to its new and refined 1.6 CDTi ‘Whisper Diesel' engine. The Astra GTC is the latest model which will take the advantage of getting the more economical new unit, which was at first introduced in the Astra, Meriva and Zafira Tourer. In fact, Vauxhall has announced that due to the introduction of this powerplant, there will be a cessation of the 1.7 CDTi. Precisely, the ‘Whisper Diesel' engine produces 136 horsepower (100 kW) and 320 Nm (236 lb-ft) of torque. It is coupled with an improved six-speed manual transmission, which ensures that the refinement and economy of the unit matches its performance. Astra GTC will be available for the MY2014 in three trim levels: Sport, Limited Edition and Sri Trims. They will be all equipped with Start/Stop and with a braking energy recuperation system as standard. The result is that the GTC 1.6 CDTi will deliver fuel efficiency of up to 68.9 mpg on the combined cycle and CO2 emissions of just 104g/km and 109g/km. The engine is also Euro 6-compliant, and Vauxhall states that this is one of the engines best in its class for noise and vibration. This is due to the efficient combustion process with multiple injection, re-designed components and the utilization of acoustic covers.

What are customers saying about Bon Air Service Company? We would like to thank the Bon Air Team for the super fine job ya’ll did for us. If the Dallas Cowboys would come over and take some advice from ya’ll on how to be a Team maybe they could go to the Super Bowl someday. Employees were curtious and identified themselves prior to entering the home. Wore booties the entire time they did the work, completed the work in the identified amount of time that they indicated. They showed and explained to me exactly what they had done and provided further suggestions on how to keep my home warm. Highly recommendBon Air is a trusted company who has consistently delivers great service. Anthony is professional and knowledgeable and did a great job. I highly recommend Bon Air! I want to thank the Bon Air team for their quick response in getting my AC unit replaced. The men were extremely professional and friendly. They explained what they were doing and walked me through how to use my new unit and replace the filters when needed. After they completed their work, they cleaned up everything and even vacuumed the carpet! I would recommend Bon Air to everyone! I had another wonderful experience with Bon Air and their technician Anthony. Anthony was very professional and knowledgeable and provided the level of excellent service I can always expect from Bon Air. Eric did an excellent job. In the future, I would like to use him with any follow up calls. Thanks. Erin is very professional and knowledgeable about the job he explained what he did an answer all questions. Bon Air did a great job replacing a compressor in one of my units in my office. Pricing was competitive and the service was great - I would highly recommend them for any HVAC work! Great Company with outstanding service. Eric was very professional and thorough. Explained what the service call included and results. Very pleased with Eric and would recommend him as an excellent service technician. A very professional & dependable company. Eric did an excellent job, he was very professional. Service tech was onsite in less than 30 minutes, explained service to be performed in detail. performed service explained along with charges incurred. great experience highly recommend Bon Air for future A/C services. Eric is a very professional young man. Did his work efficiently and in a timely manner. Your installation crew Jeremy and Eric did a great job! Very respectful and polite. Very rare to have respectful, hard working men working for your company. Josh is an outstanding employee, very nice and very honest. I accidently gave him the wrong amount of money and he notified me immediately. I didn’t know decent people like that still existed. The crew was very well mannered, efficient and hard working. We hardly knew they were here working. Randy was very courteous, efficient, knowledgeable and Texas friendly. He did the company proud! Today we had Bon Air come out to our home to inspect our AC unit. It wasn't cooling the house for the last week. We called another company last week, in regard to the same issue. The owner of the other company came out to meet with us. After he looked at our equipment he informed us that our compressor had gone out and our 2nd unit would not except any freon. He quickly told us we needed to replace both systems to the tune of $12,000.00. The Bon Air Tech called before he arrived and was on time. He diagnosed that the problem was low freon on both units. We couldn't believe our ears and were over joyed. Thank you for your honesty, professionalism, and for sending Adam. We will be sharing our experience with all our friends and relatives. Have a great day and thank you again. I called Bon Air service to request a free estimate on replacing our AC/furnace system and my intention was to compare more than one company. But while the salesperson was explaining to me about their products and services I felt confident that I should have them do the work for us. And I glad I did, JOHN was very friendly and helpful and so was Kyle and the other two guys who were with him. Came on time (very important to me) very friendly and professional and finished the job earlier than I expected. I will definitely recommendthem. I wished that they provided more services. I just wanted to let you know how happy I was with the technician that came to my house. His name was John, and he did a great job! He was very professional. I really liked the way he explained everything he was doing to the A/C unit. I even offered him a tip but he did not accept it. Again, thank you for your great service. I will definitely call again in the future. I just wanted to say Thank You for doing such a great job repairing my air conditioner, not only did you have a polite professional technician show up within 1 hour of calling for service, but also fix the problem without trying to sell me things that were not needed at the time. It seems that things always break when you are in a tight financial spot and I feel like your company didn’t try to take advantage of a women that really didn’t know much about the problem. I am totally confident that I was treated fairly and will be a repeat customer. Great job from a great company….and that is hard to find these days. Many seek to emulate - BUT YOU GUYS ARE THE REAL DEAL ... You meet the immediate needs & you follow up! 20+ years with we’ve lived in this home with the original heat/air system – trying to keep it going (barely) not knowing what an amazing improvement a good system would give us until now! Thanks to you. Thank you for all you’ve done for us. Thank you so much for what you have so graciously have done for my wife and I this year. I have never been treated so well by any service company in my 60+ years. I appreciate the use of the A/C unit and fast service you provided last week, when the A/C stopped cooling. Your service technician was very efficient and polite and got us up and running quickly. I worked retail for over 20 years and I have been in the aerospace environment for 30. I know that the way companies survive is by providing the customer with a quality product at a reasonable price, and giving them exceptional customer service. You have proved to me that you provide both exceptionally well. You also need to make a profit. I appreciate the generous discounts on the service call. I like doing business with local Grand Prairie companies, especially established business that are still providing a great service. I will recommend you to anyone who needs A/C heating service or is looking to replace an existing unit. I look forward to working with you this fall on a new unit for my home. I AM A 28 YEAR RETIRED AIR FORCE PILOT. DURING THOSE YEARS, I BUILT FOUR HOMES AND LIVED IN MANY OTHERS…MOST OF WHICH, REQUIRED HVAC SERVICES. CONSEQUENTLY, I HAVE DEALT WITH NUMEROUS HVAC SERVICE COMPANIES…BOTH GOOD AND BAD. ALTHOUGH I DID NOT KNOW ANYONE ASSOCIATED WITH THIS COMPANY UNTIL I BEGAN THE BIDDING PROCESS, I HAVE NEVER DEALT WITH A MORE PROFESSIONAL COMPANY THAN BON AIR SERVICE CO. THEY COMPLETELY REPLACED THE EXTENSIVE HVAC SYSTEM IN MY CURRENT HOME. FROM PROVIDING THE MOST COMPETITIVE BID TO CLEANUP AFTER ALL SYSTEMS WERE UP AND RUNNING, ALL WORK WAS COMPLETED IN AN ABSOLUTELY OUTSTANDING MANNER. ALL PROFESSIONALS WERE EXTREMELY KNOWLEDGEABLE, COURTEOUS, AND KEPT MY HOME SPOTLESS THROUGHOUT THE EXTENSIVE JOB. BOTTOM LINE…THE GUYS ARE REAL PROS!!!! Was Given VIP attention from the service man on a semi-annual check-up call for an old Lennox Pulse system (approx. 22yrs old) and replace it with an updated system, through completion of the job including: pricing, description of new equipment, recommendations, courtesy, appearance of workers, etc…Thanks! My 84 year old mind is at rest. In two days time it’s hard to meet a group of people you can trust and feel comfortable with. Last week we had the pleasure of meeting a TEAM that treated us like FAMILY. They were professional in their different task, but at the same time their goal was to meet our needs and make us feel good. We want to thank the Bon Air team for the wonderful job you all did. Thank you all so very much and we wish every one of you a very Merry Christmas and a Happy, Happy New Year!

1. Using about 1 tbsp of light coconut oil (or jojoba for dry/ mature skin) massage it into your face for about a minute, using gentle upward strokes. 2. Saturate a flannel or terrycloth under a hot tap, wring it out and then place the warm flannel on your face. 3. Leave the flannel on the skin for up to a minute then gently rub the oil off, until the skin no longer feels greasy. Applying a steaming flannel to the face and gently exfoliating the skin not only helps to remove every last trace of make-up, but also removes any impurities or dead cells, leaving the surface dermal layers renewed. Always have a few flannels to hand in your bathroom, and pop each cloth in the washing machine immediately after use to ensure freshness. Adding a botanical oil to this natural, nightly routine will not only help to nourish and moisturize the complexion but also help to keep it PH balanced. Surprisingly, this technique can also aid in eliminating skin problems such as acne, pimples or blackheads. This is because the hot steam opens the pores allowing the natural oils to ‘lift’ and remove the excess sebum and impurities. This same routine also works perfectly in the shower, where the same method can be applied to the whole body, not just the face! For a whole body pamper, gently exfoliate the whole body with a bath mitt or flannel, then massage in a body oil such as Aqua Oleum’s ‘Purity’ for it’s anti-cellulite effects, ‘Oriental Spice’ as an exotic skin perfume, or ‘Vitality’ for boosting the metabolism. In this case, the steam and exfoliating rub will aid the absorption of the natural oil blend, whilst creating a silky smooth skin.

One of the criticisms leveled at the Occupy movement, which started in New York City this past September and spread across numerous cities across the US and the world, is that it lacks leadership. Those in Occupy Denver have found a creative solution befitting the movement. In response to Denver Mayor Michael Hancock’s insistence that Occupy Denver choose leadership to deal with city and state officials, and inspired by GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney telling a heckler this summer that “Corporations are people, my friend,” Occupy Denver’s General Assembly has elected a leader: Shelby, a three-and-a-half year-old border collie/cattle-dog mix. According to the proposal at Tuesday’s General Assembly, “Shelby is closer to a person than any corporation: She can bleed, she can breed, and she can show emotion. Either Shelby is a person, or corporations aren’t people.” The proposal passed in only five minutes when she earned more than the required majority of votes. Shelby is the companion of Aaron “Al” Nesby, a 27-year-old filmmaker who has brought her to the protests every day for a month. The repeat visits endeared the crowd to her, which ultimately secured her win. So while this move is obviously a satirical jab at the mayor’s attempt to dictate that a leaderless movement–founded on horizontally-structured direct democratic principles–adopt a leader, this rightly makes the case that animals deserve much more recognition of their consideration and respect than abstract human constructs like corporations. Animals share more traits with people–they are sentient, they are self-aware, they feel and show emotion and pain, form bonds with one another, have children, and have the will to continue to live–than the nonliving and intangible legal creations that have been afforded many of the same protections, rights, and status as human beings. The Occupy movement already recognizes the role corporations have in the exploitation of nonhuman animals, and are working on ways to combat such corporate abuse in animal-rights-specific Occupy Work Groups in places like New York City, Seattle, LA, Vancouver B.C., and more. With the elevation of a nonhuman animal as the “leader” of Occupy Denver, this puts front and center to the public the idea that nonhuman animals are very much part of the 99% that is suffering at the hands of corporations that put profits ahead of lives. For too long they have been ignored and seen as mere commodities in service to human demand, so a “leadership” role can be the start of getting the greater public to think of nonhuman animals as the individuals they are, as our equals in feeling pain and emotion, as deserving to live a full life free of exploitation. The Occupy movement is attempting to create a model of a society where dominance and power over others do not exist, and Shelby can be the grassroots model of a movement to represent all of the 99%, all living beings–both human and nonhuman. After she spent much of the rest of her first night in office celebrating (ie, napping), newly-elected leader Shelby will be making her top dog debut with other members of Occupy Denver in a meeting with Mayor Hancock and Colorado Governor John Hickenlooper, and she also will be leading this Saturday’s “March Against Corporate Personhood,” and invites all other civic-minded dogs (and their leash-holders) to join. It’s high time to curb corporations, keep them on a short leash, and have them leave the animals alone.

Environ Sci Technol. 2014 Dec 2;48(23):14016-24. doi: 10.1021/es5034316. Epub 2014 Nov 17. Assessing the impacts of ethanol and isobutanol on gaseous and particulate emissions from flexible fuel vehicles. Karavalakis G1, Short D, Russell RL, Jung H, Johnson KC, Asa-Awuku A, Durbin TD. Bourns College of Engineering, Center for Environmental Research and Technology (CE-CERT), University of California , 1084 Columbia Avenue, Riverside, California 92507, United States. This study investigated the effects of higher ethanol blends and an isobutanol blend on the criteria emissions, fuel economy, gaseous toxic pollutants, and particulate emissions from two flexible-fuel vehicles equipped with spark ignition engines, with one wall-guided direct injection and one port fuel injection configuration. Both vehicles were tested over triplicate Federal Test Procedure (FTP) and Unified Cycles (UC) using a chassis dynamometer. Emissions of nonmethane hydrocarbons (NMHC) and carbon monoxide (CO) showed some statistically significant reductions with higher alcohol fuels, while total hydrocarbons (THC) and nitrogen oxides (NOx) did not show strong fuel effects. Acetaldehyde emissions exhibited sharp increases with higher ethanol blends for both vehicles, whereas butyraldehyde emissions showed higher emissions for the butanol blend relative to the ethanol blends at a statistically significant level. Particulate matter (PM) mass, number, and soot mass emissions showed strong reductions with increasing alcohol content in gasoline. Particulate emissions were found to be clearly influenced by certain fuel parameters including oxygen content, hydrogen content, and aromatics content.

For baseball fans, the new year will bring some interesting changes. The Washington Nationals are no longer a doormat for the rest of the National League East; they are, instead, favored to repeat as division champions. That means the heat will be on them from the get-go, so they shouldn't assume anything. Another big change is league realignment, as the Houston Astros migrate to the American League Western Division, though the likely effects are hard to guess in advance. The N.Y. Yankees and Boston Red Sox are straining to field championship caliber teams, while the big-spending L.A. Dodgers try to somehow wrest control of the NL West from the S.F. Giants. Finally, for the first time since the 1980s, NO new baseball stadiums are expected to open any time soon. But before we get too caught up with contemplating what the 2013 season holds in store, I thought it would be a good opportunity to take stock of where this Web site stands with respect to the prime feature: all those baseball stadium diagrams. I think it's fair to say that some of them are very good, while others are OK but clearly in need of improvement, and some (such as Forbes Field) are horribly deficient, and have been for a long time. Every year the president of the United States is required by the Constitution to submit to Congress a report on the national situation. For the past century or so, presidents have met this obligation by making a formal speech to a joint session of Congress. I thought it was high time I did something like that to summarize where my work in refining baseball stadium diagrams currently stands, and where it is headed in the future. With that in mind, I now present my own assessment of the "state of the diagrams," ranking from "A" (superb), "B" (pretty good), "C" (marginally acceptable), and "D" (just plain lousy). This reflects only the diagrams themselves, and has nothing to do with the aesthetic appeal of the real-world stadiums. Some stadiums such as Nationals Park were updated fairly recently, but lack some of the latest features such as an upper-deck (transparent roof) version, and/or the entry portals therein. You can tell if a diagram is outdated if the size of the dirt infield is smaller than it should be (pre-2009, more or less), or if the profile view is crude, with the lower deck lacking the almost-universal attenuated (curved) grandstand slope ("pitch") that gives rise to the expression "bowl." This list only includes major league stadiums, not minor league ones or those in foreign countries. Generally speaking, the ones that have been updated in the last year or two are state of the art, or close to it. If all goes according to plan, I will have virtually all the diagrams up to top-notch standards by Opening Day, which is April 1 this year -- just 90 days away. (The Baseball blog page will automatically keep track of the Opening Day countdown.) In the mean time, I'll try to keep up with e-mail inquiries about diagram upgrades, or you can simply post a comment on any blog post, if there are particular ballparks that you'd rather see finished sooner rather than later. Thanks once again for your interest, ballpark fans! I have been fortunate to have visited a number of interesting and "photogenic" locales during the past year. You can see previews by rolling your mouse over the links below in the following summary paragraphs. In February, I paid a brief visit to Washington, D.C. and saw the "Occupy D.C." movement up close. Later that month I took a group of students on a field trip to the state capitol in Richmond, a big success once again. On April Fool's Day Jacqueline and I drove up to the Shenandoah National Park, and on the way back we stopped at Eagle's Nest Airport near Waynesboro, and saw some gliders landing. One month later we joined a Palm Sunday procession prior to church. In late May, our area was hit by a plague of 13-year Periodical Cicadas, truly awesome little beasts. In June I was very busy observing the beauties of nature, joining members of the Augusta Bird Club on a trip to Reddish Knob. Throughout the month I photographed a lot of butterflies, including several at scenic Elkhorn Lake, on the northern edge of Augusta County. On June 19 I attended a protest rally at the University of Virginia, expressing support for president Teresa Sullivan, who had been fired but was later returned to her post by the Board of Visitors. In late June I drove up to D.C., where my friend Dave Givens and I saw the Washington Nationals win a game, with Stephen Strasburg on the mound. On the way home the next day, I stopped at Great Falls in northern Virginia. To read more about the various photos, click on the links. Those with the hand pointing icons ( ) take you to a blog post, with detailed descriptions. The other links take you to photo gallery pages, with brief captions. I spent a pleasant Fourth of July at celebrations here in Staunton, and ten days later hiked into St. Mary's Wilderness with Jacqueline. It was gorgeous scenery. In late July I drove west and stopped in Chicago to see the Cubs beat the Miami Marlins at beautiful Wrigley Field. In South Dakota, some family members and I went to Lake Andes National Wildlife Refuge and nearby Fort Randall Dam. I also spent some time exploring the town of Yankton. On the way back back east in early August, I visited the campus of Notre Dame, made a brief foray into Michigan, and saw the Cleveland Indians lose a heartbreaker to the Minnesota Twins at Progressive Field. I also saw games in Nationals Park on August 18, a sell-out in which the Mets won, September 8, when Jayson Werth hit a game-tying home run in the bottom of the ninth inning after a long rain delay, and September 22, when Gio Gonzalez got his 20th win as the Nationals were on the verge of clinching the National League East championship. Natitude! I wasn't as active politically this campaign season as in years past, but I did manage to see GOP vice-presidential candidate Paul Ryan speaking at a campaign rally near Harrisonburg on September 14. And of course I attended the huge rally with Mitt Romney, Paul Ryan, and many other Republican politicians at nearby Fishersville on October 4. Spirits were high that day, but the campaign fizzled after that. As we got ready for Christmas in December, we had a hard time keeping our canaries out of trouble, such as playing with the nutcrackers. Oh, that's right -- I need to do a long-overdue blog post about our canary population explosion. Stay tuned! Updates to the Photo Gallery pages are forthcoming. The arrival of the frigid months has one silver lining that more people should know about: the winter birds! Yesterday I joined Allen Larner and three other people on the Augusta Bird Club's annual winter field trip to Highland County. We didn't see everything we hoped for, but there were some very exciting moments. Early in the trip, I spotted what turned out to be Golden Eagle flying high above, and managed to get an adequate photograph of it, showing the distinctive tail markings of an immature bird. We saw two or three other Golden Eagles a short while later. John Spahr found a red-phase Screech Owl in a hole in a large tree, and once again I was fortunate to get a good photo. Not long afterwards, we stopped where a Wilson Snipe had previously been seen feeding next to a farm pond. It didn't take long for us to find it, and soon we realized why it had not gone elsewhere: the bird has a broken wing and can hardly fly. We also saw an immature Bald Eagle, various woodpeckers, Goldfinches, House Finches, a Purple Finch, and hundreds of Juncos. (Allen Larner got tired of seeing all those Juncos!) Unfortunately, there were no Rough-legged Hawks, one of the main "target" birds. Golden Eagle (immature), near Snowy Mountain. Red-phase Screech Owl, in a tree on Route 643. Wilson's Snipe, in a stream along Route 642. Snowy Mountain, about six miles north of this barn and silo, along Route 637. While stopped along Route 637, northwest of Monterey, we saw a still-wet newborn calf with its mother in a muddy feed lot. What a rude shock to be born into the world on such a cold, bleak day! After returning to Staunton, we stopped briefly at Bell's Lane, and saw a pair of Hooded Mergansers at one of the farm ponds, along with some Mallards, but not much else. Hopefully I'll get closer next time. Hooded Mergansers (female on left, male on right), on Bell's Lane. That trip to Highland County gave me a great opportunity to try out my new digital camera, which was literally "years in the waiting." It's a Canon PowerShot SX50 HS digital camera, with 12 megapixels and a 50x optical zoom lens, the equivalent of a 24-1200mm lens. On the ninth day of Christmas (January 2), my true love and I went up to Crutchfield in Harrisonburg, because we have had great service from them before. I could have saved about $20 if I had gone to one of the big box retailing chain stores, but I really count on honest, good advice from well-trained store employees. The camera is a little tricky to operate (inevitable with such a powerful lens), but overall I am very satisfied with the purchase. Some of the images are just amazing! The above bird photos can be seen on the Wild Birds yearly photo gallery page. On Saturday December 1, I led an Augusta Bird Club field trip to the Chimney Hollow trail, joined by five other members. It's one of my favorite birding locations, about ten miles northwest of Staunton. The main highlight of the day came within the first ten minutes: at least ten Wild Turkeys flushed from the trail ahead, only about 20 yards away. We also saw some Golden-crowned Kinglets, a Brown Creeper, a few White-breasted Nuthatches, Downy Woodpeckers, Black-capped Chickadees, a Raven or two, and a Red-bellied Woodpecker. We hiked a little more than three miles total. Just for the record, I had some successful bird outings in South Dakota last summer, including two life birds (see below): a Sora in a roadside marsh near Utica, and a Buff-bellied Sandpiper on The Bluffs golf course in Vermillion. They nest in the Arctic tundra, and winter in Patagonia; the long distance traveled necessitates early migration. Other notable sightings: Upland Sandpiper, Black Terns, American White Pelicans (20+), Bald Eagle (imm.), Greater (?) Yellowlegs, Blue-winged Teals, Spotted Sandpipers, Great Blue Herons, Green Herons, Yellow Warblers, Flickers, Western Kingbirds, Franklin's Gulls, Spotted Towhee, E. (?) Wood-Pewee, Clay-Colored Sparrow, and an Orchard Oriole (F). Most of those species were seen at Lake Andes National Wildlife Refuge, and at Fort Randall Dam, nearby. Clockwise, from top left: Yellow Warbler, Barn Swallow, Dickcissel, Ring-billed Gulls with Franklin's Gulls, Green Heron, and in center, Common Nighthawk. One of the unusual encounters was with a juvenile Mourning Dove, on the back porch of my brother Chris' house. It and a sibling hatched in a nest that was built in a flower box, and Chris got to watch it grow up and fledge. I only saw three life birds in 2012, but that's as many as the previous two years combined! Obviously, I am in a real long-term slump, birding-wise. That means I'll have to do more travelling this year! The table below shows the lines of data that have been added to my life bird list. I only had a brief glimpse of the Blue-winged Warbler, but there are only two other warblers with a head that is nearly all bright yellow: the Yellow Warbler, and the Prothontary Warbler, and neither of them are found in thick mountain woods during breeding season. While updating my life bird list, I realized that I had failed to record my first-ever sighting of a Great Horned Owl, in a nest at Coyner Springs Park, Waynesboro, VA on on April 8, 2007. That correction raised the annual totals for that year, and the cumulative totals for 2007-2011. I am now officially caught up on my wild bird blogging. Now back to politics, baseball, etc. It's been a busy month for Nationals General Manager Mike Rizzo, who completed three major transactions over the past couple weeks. I have been pretty busy as well (see below), so permit me the opportunity to get caught up on recent Nats news. After many weeks of drama, rumors, and negotiations with other teams, Adam LaRoche signed with Nationals for another two years -- not three years, as he had been seeking. The $24-million deal was reached two Wednesdays ago, seeming to indicate a win for the team owners. Nobody else was willing to give LaRoche a three-year contract, something of a surprise to me. See MLB.com. The Nationals front office had made a $13.3 million "qualifying offer" to free-agent LaRoche in November, so they would have received a draft pick compensation if he had signed with another team. Perhaps even bigger news came last week, when relief pitcher Rafael Soriano signed a contract with the Nationals, worth $28 million for two years, with a third year option. Soriano (no relation to Alfonso Soriano, a former National) replaced Mariano Rivera for the Yankees last summer, and did well enough to get the Yankees to the American League Championship Series last October. On Thursday Soriano was introduced to the press at Nationals Park ceremonially donning a Nationals jersey, number 29. See Washington Post. Dan Kolko (masnsports.com) agrees with others who say the Nats overpaid Soriano, and will also lose a draft pick because the Yankees made him [Soriano] a qualifying offer, but he still thinks it will still be a good bargain because of the arm power that he possesses. Having a dominant closer on the mound is what makes the difference between winning and losing big games, as the Nationals found out to their bitter dismay in NLDS Game 5 last October. Drew Storen is a closer. ... He's going to be a closer. He's got closer stuff. He's got a closer mentality. And by no means the signing of Rafael Soriano was based on one inning and one game at the end of the season. This guy's a young closer that was thrust into the closer role as a very young man and a very young major leaguer. That was very sad news to me, but as Dan Kolko explains at masnsports.com, it just wouldn't be fair to keep Morse on the Nats roster. He would only have been a reserve player, wasting his formidable slugging power. The acquisition of Denard Span from the Minnesota Twins filled up the outfield, which was lacking in a fleet-footed guy who can chase down potential doubles. Bryce Harper hurt himself doing that a couple times last year, and the Nats can't afford to risk his precious limbs that way. We'll find out soon enough whether Span is of more value to the team than Morse has been. Farewell, Michael Morse! We'll remember all you did for the Nats! Thanks to Facebook, I learned that Bryce Harper was going to be on "Jimmy Kimmel Live" last Tuesday night, and he had me grinning through the whole interview. He is not only quite a character (Mohawk hair style, Gonzo attitude, etc.), he's also amazingly well composed for someone who just turned 20. You can watch the complete show at abc.go.com; he follows Rob Lowe, about midway through the program. The Baseball Writers of America chose Nobody for induction into the Baseball Hall of Fame last week. Nobody has a career batting average of .381, with 2,420 RBIs and 799 home runs. Craig Biggio received the most number of votes (388), but failed to reach the required 75% level. He, Barry Bonds, Roger Clemens, Sammy Sosa, and Mike Piazza, are suspected of having used performance-enhancing drugs at some point during their careers. For factual, non-ironic coverage, see MLB.com. In a related story, bicyclist Lance Armstrong, who won the Tour de France seven times altogether, admitted to Oprah Winfrey that he used performance-enhancing drugs. (Those titles were stripped from him.) As recently as last month, he was vehemently denying doing any such thing. Weird sudden turnabout. See ESPN. How about you, Barry? The point being, the price of coming "clean" may be too high, given the legal liability from former sponsors, etc. That's why stonewalling is the most frequent response to P.E.D. accusations. I had heard that the new owners of the Dodgers (Magic Johnson, et al.) were going to make some improvements to Dodger Stadium, but until recently I had no idea how just extensive the changes were. Believe it or not, they have torn out the first dozen or so rows of seats, along with the concrete structure. Are they planning to lower the playing field? That's the only reason I can figure why they would go to such drastic lengths. Capacity is expected to remain at exactly 56,000, as it has been ever since 1962. When asked about the rumored $100 million price tag for the projct, Dodgers president Stan Kasten, who said that figure is "as good as any to use." You can read all about it at MLB.com, and also watch a photo gallery. Hat tips to Bruce Orser and Mike Zurawski. And speaking of the L.A. Dodgers, the diagrams of L.A. Memorial Coliseum, their former temporary home, have been revised. Including the entry portals allowed me to get other details (such as the press box) more accurately than before. As usual, the profile is much improved. Note that I have added a new color (dark olive) for dirt that is outside of the baseball playing field. It helps to define more easily where the outfield fence is. There is also a new full-size version with center field at the top, a suggestion made by Steven Poppe. Contrary to what may be implied by the adjacent thumbnail image, however, I don't intend to do a football version with that "tilted" stadium orientation. The Memorial Coliseum page includes a new feature that will be incorporated into all stadium pages over the next few months: the number of rows in each deck of the grandstand, with appropriate color-coded backgrounds. It so happens that this particular stadium only has one deck, so instead of decks, I put the number of rows in each level (upper, middle, and lower), which are divided by the lateral aisles. Also, the fence height is now split into three separate columns. Here's what the data table on that page now looks like (slightly squeezed, omitting the last six columns), and below that is a taste of what is still to come. NOTE: The above tables do not include the five "Clem Criteria" used to subjectively rank baseball stadiums from best to worst, or the average summary measure. Data are "subject to revision." In addition, I have made great progress on a number of stadium diagrams that will be released soon, and am exploring options for enhancing user interactivity, via social media, etc. There will probably be some kind of integration with Facebook for purposes of commenting, recommending, etc. Finally, I have weeded out links to blogs that no longer exist, and will soon do likewise on the list of links to other baseball Web sites. I'll also be adding new advertisements to various baseball pages, including those whose sponsorships have lapsed. If you'd like to sponsor a page for the first time, renew an old sponsorhip, or just chip in a few bucks via PayPal, please see the Sponsor page. While browsing around Apple's Music Store recently, I stumbled upon a baseball-themed song that was new to me. It's "Come On Home to Baseball," by Ray Stevens, the humorous country musician famous for the 1970s hit songs "The Streak" and "Wildwood Flower" (youtube.com). So I added his baseball tune, released in 2006, to the song list on the Baseball in Culture page. For the last few months, it seems my iMac computer has been straining harder and harder to keep up with the ever-increasing demands of Facebook and other Web sites overloaded with Flash and user interactive functions. So, I finally decided to get a memory upgrade last week, and I'm happy to report that everything is working much more smoothly now. In particular, I purchased a four-gigabyte dual inline memory module from Ramjet, based in Champaign, Illinois, and the little bundle of electronics arrived in just a few days via regular mail. ("RAM" stands for "random access memory" in computer lingo.) It was the second time I had purchased a memory module from them, the first being in January 2010, and I was better prepared this time. You have to avoid static buildup by holding onto copper plumbing pipes or similar metal grounding, or else the slightest spark can ruin the delicate circuitry in those RAM chips. As you can see in the photo below, all cables must be disconnected from the iMac first, and then it is laid face down on a flat surface with a towel. Then the covering plate is unscrewed and a little plastic tab is pulled to release one of the old memory modules. In this case, I replaced the original 1 GB memory module with the new 4 GB memory module, leaving the previous upgrade 2 GB memory module in place, for a net total of six gigabytes. It slid into place fairly easily, and before I knew it, everything was hooked up again, and the machine was booted up. Sure enough, choosing the "About This Mac" menu option yielded a window showing that 6 GB of memory were present. Ta - dahhh! Carefully installing a 4 GB memory module into the slot on the underside of my iMac. Apple recommends that memory upgrades be done by trained technicians, and doing it yourself may void all or part of the warranty. Since my iMac is nearly five years old (see my February 24, 2008 blog post), that is of little consequence in my case. I can tell you that the problems I have had with the Safari Web browser being slowed down to a snail's pace, and relying on hard disk access just to scroll up and down a graphics-laden Web page, have virtually disappeared. It's kind of like getting an oil change for one's car. Now that my computer is running much more quickly and smoothly, maybe I can start working more efficiently. In sum, I am one happy Mac camper! My Science & Technology blog page, which like some of my other topical blog pages has not been updated for several months, has two new features. First, there is a tabular representation of the planets in our solar system, showing their respective distances from the sun (mean orbital radius) and their approximate relative sizes. Some basic information on each planet is displayed when you roll the mouse over them. Just some cute infotainment, if you will. Of perhaps more immediate practical use is a new table of HTML standard colors, along with the three-character codes for each one; e.g., "ff0" (yellow) is equivalent to "ffff00." (Those are hexadecimal numbers, i.e., base 16.) The three primary and three secondary colors, and four shades of gray (not 50) are indicated by underlines, with rollover effects for good measure. And finally, I have begun upgrading the Periodic Table of the Elements on that page, which will eventually display information about each element when you roll the mouse over the appropriate table cell. At present, only the names are displayed. What a day! The jubilant culmination of American politics, with enough sugary-sweet patriotic symbolism and carnival theatrics throughout the long day to give even a sober person a bad hangover. The second inauguration of President Barack Obama was blessed with nice weather, a bit chilly but with crystal clear blue skies. Spirits were high among those present, not as many as there were four years ago. Outside the Beltway in the "real" America, meanwhile, millions of conservatives groaned in collective agony. How could this travesty have happened? I don't consider myself as part of the bitter anti-Obama crowd, and even though I'm not thrilled with the direction the U.S. government is heading, I'm at least happy for Obama's supporters. Campaign 2012 was a fair fight, and the Republicans had a chance to make a case to the American people, but they failed. The President's second inaugural address featured a heavy dose of realism, blended with equal parts of appeals to bipartisan cooperation and determination to carry out the progressive agenda favored by his liberal "base." With the Republicans in control of the House, he knows he is not going to achieve anything as significant as his health care law passed, at least not for the next two years. So instead of heralding a glorious new era of "change," as he did in 2008-2009, this time he emphasized consolidating what had been done in his first administration. The basic question is whether the exercise of government power, and presidential power in particular, is subject to rigid constraints by the Constitution, or whether contemporary interpretations allow for more "flexibility" than the Founding Fathers might have envisioned. Obama is squarely in the latter camp, of course, but he at least seems aware of the need to acknowledge there is another point of view. Overall, it was definitely more restrained and pragmatic speech than his first inaugural address, in which he pledged to "begin again the work of remaking America." (See whitehouse.gov.) That seemed to echo the ambitious goal "to transform a nation" from his February 2007 speech in which he announced his candidacy for president. (See March 1, 2009.) As he candidly told Russian then-president Dmitri Medvedev at a summit meeting last spring, Obama expects to have more "flexibility" in his second term. Frankly, that gives conservatives like me the heebee-jeebees. Anyway, I'll have a more thorough review of the president's speech in a future blog post or newspaper column. Until today, I hadn't had a blog post about politics since November 12, mainly a reflection of my utter disgust at the Republican leaders' failure to draw any useful lessons from President Obama's reelection. For the past several years, I have operated under the assumption that reason and sanity would eventually prevail in the Grand Old Party. For the sake of party unity, it seemed only prudent to exercise restraint in the way I characterized certain leaders and decisions with which I took issue; "If you can't say something positive, don't say anything." Real-world events proved contrary to my expectations, however. The way the fiscal cliff negotiations backfired badly for the GOP, as House Speaker John Boehner was undercut by his own party members, and the way some Republicans have reacted to the mass shooting in Connecticut suggest that the deranged fever of the right-wing "Base" is just as strong as ever. It seems that the party remains determined to persist in the suicidal trajectory which it has pursued for the last several years. So, I find myself in need of reorienting my political identity, and expressing my thoughts in more direct, less tactful ways. Not really. It might have looked like Jupiter was in a near collision with the Moon this evening, but they are actually over four hundred million miles apart. I was watching the weather on NBC 29 this evening, and thanks to Eric Pritchett, I learned of Jupiter's close encounter with the moon. So, I made use of my new camera to record the astronomical event and had it on Facebook within a few minutes. For some reason, the photographic image doesn't convey the same sense of close proximity as seeing the phenomenon with the naked eye. The real thing really is quite dramatic looking. According to space.com, there won't be another such close encounter between those two heavenly bodies until 2026. Jupiter is at the top left, obviously. Click on the photo to see a larger version, and click HERE to see the closeup version that appears when you roll the mouse over. I wonder what the astrologers are saying about this celestial conjuncture with regard to the beginning of President Obama's second term. Good omen or bad? Here in the East, the temperatures are dipping into the teens tonight, making us jealous of those folks who live in warmer regions as we don wool socks and thermal underwear. So, it's only fitting to pay tribute to the home state of "California Gurrl" Katy Perry with some updates to the diagrams, etc. from that part of the U.S.A. The Oakland Coliseum diagrams have been revised, with the entry portals depicted for the first time. Including those details helped me to make a few minor corrections in the "Mount Davis" grandstand addition of 1996, but the original 3/4-circle grandstand is otherwise virtually the same as it was before. Note that the entry portals in the second deck are slightly deeper than the ones on the third deck, but the ones near the infield were enlarged after the 1996 renovation. In those parts of the grandstand, fans now enter the upper deck along a flat corridor emerging from the new upper-level concourse, rather than climbing a staircase. But of course the upper deck is closed for baseball games nowadays, so it doesn't really matter from a baseball perspective. There is [a] new feature on the Oakland Coliseum page: my own estimates of fair and foul territory, based on a graphical editing technique I recently devised. It should be accurate to within a half percent or so, but I'll have to do likewise for other stadiums and compare to other peoples' estimates before I can be sure. In this case, there are approximately 107,867 square feet in fair territory and 40,733 square feet foul territory -- no doubt, the biggest in the major leagues right now. In the months to come I will be adding similar data to all stadium pages. I saw Jerry Maguire again a week or two ago, and I'm almost sure that [some of] the scenes were filmed outside of Oakland Coliseum. At one point they are talking inside a glass-enclosed [high-level] luxury suite on the northeast side, and the curved portion of the grandstand along the opposite sideline is fairly clear. After the game Tom Cruise and Cuba Gooding Jr. are walking outside the stadium, and the grass berm lanscaped with trees looks just like Oakland Coliseum. The Internet Movie DataBase says it was filmed in L.A. Memorial Coliseum, [as well as Sun Devil Stadium, of course] and I think somebody made a mistake. I'm planning to make an edit there, so if anyone knows otherwise, please let me know. In any case, I added data on fair and foul territory to the Memorial Coliseum page. That was, of course, an extreme case of huge foul territory on the third base side, tiny fair territroy in left field, huge fair territory in right field, and tiny foul territory on the first base side. For the record, the Dolphin (Sun Life) Stadium diagrams have been revised, but only a true fanatic would notice. The entry portals in the upper deck have been moved back about five feet (two rows), and the covered "mini-dugouts" for pitchers in the bullpens are now shown. Last Friday (the 17th) five Nationals players signed contracts, thereby avoiding the arbitration process. Ross Detwiler, Ian Desmond, Roger Bernadina, and Tyler Clippard signed one-year contracts, and Craig Stammen agreed to a two-year contract worth $2.25 million. All of those players have proven to be very reliable and helped win a number of games in the memorable 2012 season. Jordan Zimmermann is seeking a bit more than the team offered, but they are expected to arrive at a deal. Desmond's salary is said to be $3.8 million, a nice chunk of change which he richly deserves after hitting 25 home runs last year. MLB.com. General Manager Mike Rizzo said they are considering extended contracts with Desmond and Zimmermann. Speaking of the Nationals, tomorrow is "Nats Fest" in Washington, and I'm thinking about attending. If so, it would be my first time at that annual winter event. Jayson Werth, Bryce Harper, Ian Desmond, Gio Gonzalez, and many other players are expected to be there. Natitude! Hall of Fame slugger Stan "The Man" Musial passed away last week at the age of 92. He played his entire career with the St. Louis Cardinals, from 1941 to 1963, interrupted by one year of military service (1945) in World War II. During those 22 years, he amassed an amazing lifetime batting average of .331, with 3,630 hits and 475 home runs. He was one of the best left-handed sluggers of all time, if not the best. But beyond that, he was a modest gentleman who inspired genuine affection and devotion from team mates and fans alike. In the 1940s, he made St. Louis proud to be one of the real powerhouse cities in all of baseball. Two years ago he received the Presidential Medal of Freedom from President Obama, a very fitting tribute. To read some glowing tributes to Musial from Bob Costas, Tony LaRussa, Albert Pujols, Bud Selig, and others, see MLB.com. Stan Musial statue, outside Busch Stadium (III) in St. Louis. By coincidence, former Baltimore Orioles manager Earl Weaver died within 24 hours of Musial's passing. During the 17 seasons he managed for the Orioles, the lovably cantankerous foot-stomper had a .583 winning percentage, with 1,480 victories, the 22nd highest total in history. He was 82 years old. See MLB.com. You might say that he played a similar role as Musial did in leading the team of a medium-size city to greatness beyond its size. The Orioles used to be the St. Louis Browns until they moved to Baltimore in 1954; that's an odd parallel with the passing of the greatest star from St. Louis. For those who never had a chance to see Earl Weaver in action, like I did, and for those who want to remember, here's a good You Tube video, courtesy of The Church of Baseball on Facebook: "Earl Weaver Is Not Happy", when he was ejected by umpire Bill Haller. Weaver was bragging that he was going to be in the Hall of Fame, not exactly modest. NatsFest 2013: NL East champs! Outside it was bitterly cold, but inside the Walter E. Washington Convention Center, the air was heated by excited mobs of Nats fans scrambling to get a better view. At one point I had to wait in line over ten minutes because the room was filled to capacity. Good grief! It's a sign of the team's great achievements (and near-triumph) last year: Everybody loves a winner! My impression was that the players are very confident in their prospects for defending the National League Eastern Division championship this year. It's hard to argue that they are the team to beat, but as we all know, injuries can change things dramatically during the regular season, and anything -- anything! -- can happen in the postseason. The crowd gathers in eager anticipation at the stage in the main ballroom. Even with the program, you can't tell which players are going to be in which places at which times, so getting good pictures was a matter of luck. At one point Bryce Harper, Ian Desmond, Jordan Zimmermann were on the left side of the stage, and Gio Gonzalez, Tyler Clippard, and (I think) one other guy on the right side, but I couldn't get a decent photo of the latter group. I got a new camera with a 50x zoom lens for Christmas, and it came in handy on Saturday. I look forward to using it at Nats games this year. I added a big batch of photos from NatsFest to the Washington Nationals photo gallery page, including nine closeup photos of the players. I caught the last part of General Manager Mike Rizzo's introduction of Dan Haren (pitcher) and Denard Span (outfielder) in the main ballroom. They represent the team owners' commitment to fielding a team capable of going all the way in the postseason. They are both happy to be playing for Washington. Bryce Harper, Ian Desmond, and Jordan Zimmermann answering questions. One of the big questions is how Drew Storen has handled the stunning loss to the Cardinals in the NLDS Game 5. I was pleased to see that he is as upbeat as ever, having put the whole mess behind him. Storen expressed appreciation for all the fan support, and remarked that he was caught be surprise by news that Rafael Soriano had been signed, taking Storen's place as the main closer. I hope they all get along... For more on the NatsFest event, see the Washington Post and MLB.com. Two of the players sported a massive growth of facial hair: Jayson Werth and Danny Espinosa. With his long hair, Werth almost looks like a cave man. (Future commercials for GEICO?) From a closeup picture I took of Danny, I think it's pretty clear that he used dye to make his beard black. ("Does he or doesn't he? Only his hair dresser knows for sure." -- a TV ad from the 1960s) Evidently, he is emulating Brian Wilson and some of the other San Francisco Giants players who look like Russian Orthodox priests. William H. ("Bill") Taft is introduced to the audience, joining the other four presidents who are memorialized on Mount Rushmore. My only big complaint was the long lines in the various food concession kiosks. I guess they didn't expect that many people to show up. Three times I gave up and went to a different line, only to wait even more. The pizza line was shorter, but all they had was cheese pizza, not the gourmet or pepperoni choices. It was pretty good, at least. Another minor gripe is the way the players were kept in groups of three or four, in rooms filled with hundreds of people. If they had them in groups of two or three, in more rooms, it would have been easier for more fans to get closer to the players. At one point Werth asked where Adam LaRoche was, making me wonder if he had been expected to attend. And what about Stephen Strasburg? Each player has contractual obligations to make a certain number of public appearances on behalf of the team each year, and in some cases such as with Ryan Zimmerman, they fulfill that duty with some kind of charity fund-raising event. Werth was really cracking a lot of jokes up there, adding to the festive spirit of the day. I was very impressed that at the end, he signed autographs for a bunch of people who were standing at the edge of the stage. He didn't have to do that, and it shows he cares about the fans. I was holding up an 8x10 print of the photo of him hitting a game-tying home run in the bottom of the ninth inning on September 8, but I just couldn't get close enough to the stage before he left. Oh well. Anyway, a good time was had by all! Afterwards, while I was walking away from the Convention Center, I noticed that Jordan Zimmermann and a few friends were walking in the same direction, just a few feet away. That gave me a chance to get a better closeup photo of him than I had gotten when I was inside. The Washington Nationals page has been updated with the expected roster for 2013, and popup closeup photos for those players whom I photographed. Natitude 2013: "Play it again, Sam!" Just in time for Pro Bowl 2013 yesterday, I made some minor updates to the Aloha Stadium diagrams. The entry portals are now shown, a few minor corrections have been made, and of course, new data on the number of grandstand rows and fair and foul territory are now shown. The Pro Bowl was actually pretty interesting for most of the first half, but the NFC just blew the AFC away in the second half, winning by a score of 62-35. And of course, I expect to have the Superdome diagrams updated in time for this Sunday's Super Bowl game.

Catherine Tabberner’s Climb Every Mountain also received rapturous applause and left you wondering how it was physically possible to reach some of those high notes.

The rule of thumb says you can afford twice your family’s gross annual income. But the final answer depends on the nature of your income, the amount of debt you are currently carrying, the size of your down payments and the type and term of the loan. Generally, housing expenses for your mortgage, insurance, taxes and special assessments should not exceed 25 to 28 percent of your gross monthly income. Up-front-cost are all the cost you may have to pay in order to purchase your home. A down-payment is just one of the up-front-cost. Up-front-cost may also include a real estate appraisal, credit report, documentation, lock-in fees, etc. Together these cost can amount to 2.5 to 3 percent of the loan. There are also prepaid expenses for interest charges during the period between closing and the first payment, real estate taxes, etc. Finally, there are attorneys’ fees, accessed by the title company who will handle the actual closing and other incidental cost. Sometime you can, sometime you can’t. It just depends on the deal. You may be able to negotiate on fees by offering to pay a higher interest rate. Typically you would pay .25 percent higher interest for every point you save.

Can you spot a problem with the following code? However, when we define i in the for-loop, we lazily used auto, i.e., the type of i is dictated by the type of vec.size(). Note that the type of vec.size() is unsinged long. When i hits $0$, i is decremented to $-1$. By two’s complement, $-1$ is a bunch of $1$’s in the front, and therefore by unsigned representation, it will be a gigantic number. Hence, the for-loop condition will always satisfy. More importantly, vec will most likely not have that large index.

Inflation is soaring in Vietnam. The cure is simple. All Vietnam has to do is stop the expansion of money and credit. Vietnam is instead looking at trade deficits and gold. Voice of America is reporting Inflation, Trade Deficit Cause Worry in Vietnam. Just a few months ago, Vietnam was touted as the new China, with its fast-growing economy drawing billions of dollars in foreign investment. But then came an inflation problem that seems to have gotten out of control. Now the government is wrestling with a slew of problems that threaten to knock the country's economic success off the rails. Matt Steinglass reports from Hanoi. Vietnam's trade deficit shot up to $14 billion in the first five months of 2008, from $11 billion for all of last year. The influx of foreign currency puts pressure on the Vietnamese dong to strengthen. But that would make Vietnamese exports more expensive, hurting local industries. So the government held down the exchange rate by buying dollars with dong, which inflated the supply of dong, contributing to inflation. My Comment: This is exactly what China is doing as well. Bernanke calls this a "savings glut". Printing "Yuan" to buy dollars is no more savings than printing "đồng" to buy dollars. I discussed this many times, most recently in Bernanke Blames Saving Glut For Housing Bubble. Peter Ryder, head of the investment group Indochina Capital, says that reassured investors, but perhaps not enough. "The big, big issue in my mind is, are they going to be able to get away with just gradually devaluing the currency, is that the best thing to do? Or should they just kind of go 'whack'? Just do [devalue by] 20 percent at one time? Or are they just going to kind of let the air out of the tire [slowly devalue the currency]?" Analysts at the investment banks Merrill Lynch, Deutsche Bank, and Morgan Stanley have warned that unless the government raises interest rates, devalues the dong, shuts down insolvent banks, and cuts government spending, it could face a currency crisis. My comment: Vietnam is attempting to grow its export business. It "succeeded", using the term loosely. Now it is facing the consequences. The list of recommendations is ironic. The US needs to do the same, most notably shutting down insolvent banks and cutting government spending. Rather than do what needs to be done, politicians instead always try something 100% guaranteed not to work, such as this: Vietnam suspends gold imports in move to ease growing trade deficit. Vietnam's communist authorities have temporarily suspended all gold imports in a bid to tackle the country's spiralling trade deficit and help support the depreciating local currency, the dong. With Vietnamese investors rushing into gold as a hedge against skyrocketing inflation, Hanoi - which sets an annual quota for gold imports - has withdrawn licences for further imports, traders said yesterday. The decision comes as record imports of gold bars have made Vietnam the world's biggest market for gold bullion, surpassing India and China and helping to deepen Vietnam's trade deficit. "We've seen high demand as Vietnamese investors have taken a rational decision that this is a hedge against higher inflation, and a weak dollar," said John Shrimpton, a director at Dragon Capital, a Ho Chi Minh City-based boutique investment bank. Hedge against a weak Dollar or a weak đồng? If a devaluation is coming, the last thing one would want to hold is the đồng. In the final analysis, the đồng, the yaun (renminbi), the dollar, and even the Euro are all dung. The only difference is the speed at which that realization will come. It is perfectly rational for demand for gold to rise in Vietnam. Banning imports will do nothing to solve the underlying problem.

This passage describes to us in unparalleled detail the life that God gives us through the Holy Spirit. It also states very clearly that the one condition required for us to live a life filled with God’s presence through the Holy Spirit is obedience to Christ’s command to love one another as he has loved us. Jesus says this positively in verses 15, 21 and 23 and negatively in verse 24. The reason why this is the condition is contained in verse 31. We see in Jesus’ free obedience to the Father, God’s very nature revealed: God is not a monad, he is Triune. Existing in three person, God is love. The Son obeying the Father freely and fully, the Father delighting in the Son, the Holy Spirit the love that exists between them. These are mysterious things, hard to express and understand, but Scripture tells us enough so that we know when we obey Christ we are not simply obeying an arbitrary command, we are actually living in God (1 Jn 4:16), we participate in his divine nature (2 Pet. 1:4) and the Holy Spirit delights to dwell in us. This is why marriage, friendship, family-life, church relationships and our treatment of other people are singled out in Scripture as areas of supreme importance for the Christian life, these are the places where we have the clearest opportunities to obey Christ, our obedience in these areas they should be powerhouses for our Christian life. Despite the clarity of this passage, obedience is not always recognised as the key to the life of the Spirit. For example, sometimes it is said that a focus on God’s grace is the key thing. It is true that God’s grace, As soon as you try to obey Christ you will learn your dependence on God’s grace, that is for certain, but to make grace the focus is like praying for rain before you’ve planted your field: it will lead to a fruitless life or even a sinful one! Sometimes it is taught that religious activities are the secret to the life of the Spirit: spiritual disciplines, ascetism, passion, faith, faithful church attendance, prayer, quiet times, sophisticated doctrine, communion or Bible studies. These things are important and very useful, but for what? They are means of grace by which we are enabled to obey Christ! If they aren’t aimed at that goal they are just like a vast empty temple or meaningless sacrifices. Sometimes it is suggested that the secret to the Spirit-filled life is to pursue “Spiritual things” directly, focusing on miracles, gifts of the Spirit and direct experiences of God in prayer or worship. But again this is a confusion of this very straightforward passage. God promises us the Holy Spirit through obedience, his presence might result in these amazing things, but we can’t put the cart before the horse! We have to focus on obedience to Christ’s command to love and invite the Holy Spirit’s presence that way. The danger when we stop focusing on obedience to Christ’s command is that, while we may sometimes obey him, we are in danger of breaking his command in pursuit of the idols we put in its place. 1) Do you agree? For yourself personally will you make obedience to Christ’s command to love the focus of your discipleship? For our church, do you recognise that our love for one another is the key to our spiritual direction and power? 2) If you agree, do you need to deal with any idols which you have been pursuing as the key to the Christian life? 3) Are you lukewarm about the Spirit-filled life because of distraction now or disappointments in the past? Will you renew your trust in what God clearly says in this passage and pursue fellowship with him afresh through obedience to Christ’s command to love?

The three tomato plants I put in my veggie patch have been doing quite well. I have had a lovely supply of fresh tomatoes to eat. And I love it. However I discovered that there is a tomato contest at the Mansfield, MA tomato festival. I want to enter my tomatoes! Darn if only there were such a contest around here. Wow to think of all the tomatoes I could sample there at that festival. Easy does it....starting to drool.

At Health Union, our online health communities: Migraine.com,MultipleSclerosis.net, RheumatoidArthitis.net, Type2Diabetes.com,HepatitisC.net, COPD.net, CrohnsDisease.com, Asthma.net, andIrritableBowelSyndrome.net, have experienced mobile traffic more than close to double that of desktops and laptops. While a lot of reasons could play into this, such as the demographics of our communities or the role of promotions of our content, recent trends regarding mobile and PC devices show we’re not the only ones to experience such an increase in mobile usage. Recent research has shown an explosion of mobile use. Recent research has shown desktop purchases and time spent online haven’t decreased, it’s just that smart phone purchases and time spent online have increased exponentially.4 Is the takeaway here that people are spending more time online overall? Smartphones are portable and can be taken anywhere, and generally less expensive than a desktop or laptop computer. The web, apps, social media, location services can all be accessed instantaneously. As the Wall Street Journal (WSJ) puts it, “mobile’s share of traffic is growing, but the overall pie is growing too.”5 And, media owners and creators, such as ourselves, have to take this into account as the strategize how to best reach their members using mobile and PC devices. Before we launch any health community, we break down the condition demographics and online demographics of the community. For us, it’s important to understand what communities might skew older versus younger and tailor our sites. For example, COPD.net demographically tends to skew older than some of our other communities. Their utilization of mobile isn’t as significant as CrohnsDisease.com where the demographics of those online skews younger. Several of our communities skew demographically lower income and we find might be more likely to use mobile as the Pew statistic suggests. As the Pew statistics depict above, 77% of adult smartphones use their devices to avoid being bored. Pew breaks this stat down further and results showed 99% of users use their smartphones at home, 82% in their car or public transit, 53% while waiting in line, and 50% walking from place to place.2 The WSJ found that overall growth of mobile devices has predominantly occurred during the morning and night hours, which again would suggest that people might be using their mobile devices as a time-killer, whereas desktop/laptop usage seems to have remain consistent during the weekday.5 So, how can we take advantage of those looking to kill time? Facebook’s news feeds and trending topics are examples of time-killer features. Push notifications are another example. They are app-centric only but can app-like notification features be carried over to web browsing? These are just a few ways but as we think through ways to keep users engaged, we want to provide them with ways to combat boredom. In 2015, 75% of video views on Facebook were through a mobile device. Our most recent video experiment supports this statistic.6 On the RheumatoidArthritis.net page, autoplay statistics were over 96% of the total video views and much of this we attribute to autoplay on mobile. Visual content such as video and pictures continues to rise such as Facebook, Snapchat, and Instagram, and numbers show user-shared video views is increasing quickly. Is there a way to marry user generated content and mobile? Users are now the creators and the app or site are the curators. This model aligns directly with ours at Health Union. We need to determine how best to give people the opportunity to share both their content as well as ours on mobile. Pew found that 49% of smartphone users reported they’ve had experiences where content was not optimized or displaying correctly on their device.2 Optimizing for mobile may include everything from site design to site structure to page speed to optimizing any newsletters and emails. Are they’re receiving too many? Is the content relevant to them? Is the content too small to read? Are the emails optimized or well formatted for mobile and vertical screens? As with any content on our site, we need to ensure our emails are mobile friendly and keeping our users engaged. Why do people like to communicate via smartphone? It’s “asynchronous yet instant”. It’s “expressive yet fast”. It’s “engaging yet user controlled”. It’s “casual yet professional”. It’s “easy yet productive”. It’s “personal yet mainstream”. It’s “mobile but distributed”. It’s “instant yet secure”. It’s “real-time yet replay-able”. It’s “current yet evergreen”. It’s “accessible yet global”. It’s “simple yet 24×7”.3 KPCB attributes these factors as the reasons people like messaging through their mobile devices but these behaviors pretty much apply to all mobile features. And, as we brainstorm through our mobile strategy, we need to keep all of these in mind. Poushter J. Smartphone Ownership and Internet Usage Continues to Climb in Emerging Economies.

Art Press Release from Australia. Published by Rebecca Gabrielle Cannon on Monday 24 January 2011. The Museum of Modern Art has acquired a complete version of A Fire in My Belly (1986–87) by David Wojnarowicz—both its original 13-minute version and a 7-minute excerpt made by the artist. MoMA is the first institution to acquire the video, and it is now on view in the Museum’s exhibition Contemporary Art from the Collection, a focused examination of artistic practice since the late 1960s that considers how current events from the last 40 years have shaped artists’ work. Also joining the collection are media works by Harun Farocki, Andrea Fraser, Dan Graham, Dorit Margreiter, and a collective of young artists who critically engage social and political issues in their work. Wojnarowicz (American, 1954–1992), one of the most influential artists to have emerged from New York in the 1980s, made A Fire in My Belly after being diagnosed with HIV. A collage of images filmed primarily during the artist’s travels to Mexico, it combines footage from a number of sources that refer—often in graphic detail—to death, social inequality, faith, and desire. In MoMA’s Contemporary Galleries, it joins a grouping of art works made during the AIDS crisis in the late 1980s and early 1990s. A Fire in My Belly is the 13th work by the artist to join MoMA’s collection over the last two decades. Among the other new acquisitions are large-scale installations by artists dealing directly with the Iraq War and its effects. Serious Games (2009–10), comprising four videos by Harun Farocki (German, b. 1944), examines the use of videogame technology in military training and therapy for veterans. 9 Scripts from a Nation at War (2007), a 10-channel video installation by artist-collaborators Andrea Geyer (German, b. 1971), Sharon Hayes (American, b. 1970), Ashley Hunt (American, b. 1970), Katya Sander (Danish, b. 1970), and David Thorne (American, b. 1960), features performances that question the ways in which war constructs specific positions for individuals to fulfill or resist. Andrea Fraser’s (American, b. 1965) two-channel video installation Soldadera (Scenes from Un Banquete en Tetleapayac, a film by Olivier Debroise) (1998/2001) examines the utopian and revolutionary impulses of 20th-century art and its failures, resonating with the history of modern art and of MoMA itself. The installation enters MoMA’s collection along with nine videos by Fraser, including The Public Life of Art: The Museum (in collaboration with Louise Lawler, 1988), which features the artist giving tours of The Metropolitan Museum of Art and MoMA, touching on topics ranging from corporate sponsorship to economic social policy. The multimedia installation zentrum (2004) by Dorit Margreiter (Austrian, b. 1967) reanimates one of many broken neon signs in Leipzig in the former German Democratic Republic (GDR), thereby situating the aesthetics of socialist modernism within the 21st century. Sabine Breitwieser, MoMA’s Chief Curator of Media and Performance Art, has also initiated a collaboration with Dan Graham (American, b. 1942) to produce a comprehensive reconstruction of his landmark slide projection Homes for America (1965–67/2010), which draws on color snapshots the artist took, beginning in 1965, in suburban New Jersey and Staten Island using an Instamatic fixed-focus camera. This restoration marks an important step in preserving one of the most important artworks of the contemporary period, and enters MoMA’s collection with five important early film performances the artist made between 1969 and 1973. Many of these artists cross over and examine the relationships among disciplines, performing in front of the camera or revisiting the foundations of video, including avant-garde film, said Ms. Breitwieser. These works share a certain critical stance on questions of reality and the mediated image, on experience and performance, as well as on narrative and fiction versus the documentary, thus placing art in the very center of society.

Sadiq Khan rolled his eyes on television when talking about knife crime in London. He literally rolled his eyes and scoffed at the idea he may not be doing everything he can to stop this terrible violence in the city he represents. The move has been talked about for a while, but the legislation is finally moving forward and could be enacted within a month. Amidst Labour’s crisis over extremism in the party, it has been revealed that Jeremy Corbyn’s closest aid is a “national security risk” according to ex-MI6 boss. In just a matter of days, there have been multiple stabbings, a shooting, and 11 murder arrests in Sadiq Khan’s London. Sky presenter Adam Boulton has enraged Brexiteers by labeling pro-Leave Tories as “far right”.

I don’t usually get all excited about breakfast. But here I am, bringing you two breakfast recipes in a row. Maybe I’m finally getting in tune with all the “breakfast is the most important meal of the day” chatter that I’ve been hearing my whole life. Or maybe I’m just now finding some breakfast foods that really excite me and actually MAKE me want to get up and eat breakfast. Either way, I’m in a breakfast groove lately. And this Savory Oatmeal with Bacon, Roasted Squash and Avocado is my latest obsession. Savory oatmeal is kind of a new thing for me. I definitely have more of a sweet tooth than a savory tooth when it comes to breakfast (and all meals, for that matter!). But I’m really having fun exploring some savory oatmeal options. This one has all my favorite things: bacon, sliced avocado and roasted butternut squash sweetened with just a hint of maple syrup. You could put roasted squash and maple syrup on just about anything and I’d gobble it right up! It’s my love language. I used Almond Breeze’s new Almondmilk Cashewmilk Blend to cook the oats. It gives this oatmeal an irresistible creaminess (without all the actual cream!) that makes it hard to resist. Make sure to keep your eyes peeled for it in the stores! So tell me, have you tried savory oatmeal before? If so, what are your favorite toppings? On a rimmed baking sheet, toss together the butternut squash, olive oil, maple syrup, salt and black pepper. On a second rimmed baking sheet, lay the bacon slices out in a single layer. Transfer both baking sheets to your pre-heated oven. Roast the squash for 18-20 minutes, or until it’s soft and starting to brown in places, stirring once halfway through cooking time. Cook the bacon for about 15-20 minutes, or until it’s reached your desired level of crispness (it will continue to crisp up slightly after it’s removed from the oven). Once the bacon is cooked, transfer it to a paper towel-line plate to drain. Meanwhile, make the oatmeal. In a medium saucepan over medium-high heat, bring the milk to a simmer. Stir in the oats and cook, uncovered, for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from the heat and let stand for 1-2 minutes before serving. To serve, divide the oatmeal between two bowls. Top with the squash, bacon and sliced avocado. Season with additional salt and black pepper, if desired. I love breakfast, but often times I’m either too lazy or too busy to make it. But I would definitely make time for this oatmeal! I love the hearty ingredients in here, Liz! Definitely a great way to wake up in the morning! Yeah I get lazy sometimes too in the mornings. I hope you try out my savory oatmeal, Gayle! I’m eating a banana right now and it’s looks pretty pitiful next to this! WOW!!! LOVE this savory oatmeal!!!! Oh no! I hope you get some savory oatmeal soon, Alice! This is so creative! I have yet to try savory oatmeal but I just know I’d love this with all the ingredients you’ve listed 🙂 Looks delicious! Thanks, Denise! I mean bacon, so you know it’s going to be good! I know! I feel like I’ve been missing out all these years on savory oatmeal! I hope you try it out, Marcie! I think you’ll love it! Hot diggity daaaaayum this is the perfect breakfast! I’m all about veggies and bacon for breakfast, and this savory oatmeal sitch you’ve got going on is driving me bonkers! Well-played, love! Thanks, Julia! It’s like a little piece of breakfast heaven! Oh you definitely need to get on the savory oatmeal train. You’re going to love it! What a great idea!! Savory oatmeal?? I need to have this asap! Yes! You’ll love it, Z! Thanks, Lauren! Glad you love it!

Sarah Dziura, Wendy Baccus, James Thompson; The effect of stimulus contrast on action discrimination. Journal of Vision 2012;12(9):459. doi: 10.1167/12.9.459. Determining the contributions of the body form and motion cues to the perception of biological motion is important for understanding how we recognize actions. In this study we examined the effects of contrast on the discrimination of different point-light human actions. Participants (N=11) determined which of four simultaneously presented actions (boxing, leaping, running, or walking) matched a central action. The central action was always intact point-light biological motion and at 100% contrast, while the four choice actions varied in contrast and were either intact point-light biological motion, scrambled biological motion, or static body form. Results showed a similar increase in accuracy with increasing contrast for the intact and scrambled biological motion stimuli. This increase occurred at lower contrast levels for intact and scrambled biological motion relative to the static form stimuli. Even at lower contrast levels, however, accuracy was higher for intact than for scrambled biological motion stimuli, and remained so until the highest contrast level. Accuracy was higher for intact and scrambled biological motion than static form at all contrast levels except the highest. These results support previous findings showing that the perception of biological motion is contrast-dependent. Our results provide new details about the contrast-dependence of form and motion contributions to the discrimination of human actions.
