“Double Negative (Yes, this poster is not…)”
public poster campaign, digital prints at A1 and A0 size.
included in the Bucharest Biennial, Romania, 2014
This project attempts to visually manifest a “legibility” of social and ethnic difference via a series of posters that will be placed in outdoor public spaces on the occasion of the Bucharest Biennial in Romania. But rather than attempt to create a unifying or even utopian vision of a community, the overarching message is, paradoxically, one of both affirmation and exclusion, and more reflective of the contradictory nature of citizenship and immigration—insider and outsider status—as indicated by language and legibility.
A series of 20 different large-scale color posters will be printed, each in a different language (i.e. German, Czech, Ukrainian, Russian, English, Romanian, etc), each proclaiming what they are not, and alluding to the presence of yet another group. For instance, a poster could state in Hebrew: “Yes, this poster is not in Russian.” The posters would be placed in public spaces, akin to advertising posters.
Essentially a double negative, the phrase “Yes, this poster is not…” parallels the perceived positive and negative status of a culturally changing Europe, especially as it pertains to border areas and flows of migrants across expanding territories. On one hand, immigration is seen as a source of cheap labor, an invigorating push that helps stimulate business and growth. And yet these same immigrants become looked upon with suspicion after attempting to create their own cultural niche within a larger, mostly homogenous social structure. After skin tone, an ethnic community’s language is the first obvious marker of difference, and can be considered a liability to “integration” into society. Ethnic enclaves can be perceived as areas of vibrant diversity or a kind of self-segregated, insulated ghetto, depending on which angle is taken in describing it.
Public signage, billboards, and advertising all reflect local tastes and communities. The presence of signage in foreign languages is indicative of a foreign audience and community. While these signs may not be understood by all, they are completely and collectively understood in a different way: that of indicating presence of an audience that can read it.
“Double Negative (This Poster is Not…)” poses a question to the general public: to whom is each poster speaking, and of what? Is this legibility/illegibility a perceived threat—not by actual message, but by mere presence?
For example, if one does not speak Arabic, the poster text will only be read as belonging to a “foreign” tongue. And if one does speak Arabic, the cryptic message points, paradoxically enough, to what it is not — not in another tongue, that is. In any case, it may also be true that as an “outsider,” it can perhaps be comforting to stumble across text in your native language, no matter what it says, because, paradoxically, it affirms your legibility and presence within that society. |
INNOVATIVE was graced by the Principal Secretary, National Water Services, Ministry of Water and Irrigation Prof. Fred Sigor. The purpose of the workshop was to inform the key stakeholders in the water sector on the latest innovations in water monitoring and to highlight the advantages and improvements from the conventional methods. It aimed at highlighting the trends and potential alternative sources of water that can be exploited hence to reduce dependency on surface water. In attendance were representatives from Kenya Meteorological Department (KMD), National Irrigation Board (NIB), Water Resources Management Authority (WRMA), Kenya Water Institute (KEWI), Regional Centre for Groundwater, Kenya National Bureau of Statistics (KNBS), Kenya Water Towers Agency, and Centre for Development and Environment (University of Bern, Switzerland).
The workshop kicked off at 9:00 a.m. after participants’ introduction then was followed closely by a brief background of CETRAD and a highlight of the day’s agendas. Thereafter, Prof. Sigor made his speech in which he emphasized the importance of research and training in the water sector and the need to invest in it to facilitate better monitoring, protection and sharing of water resources in the country. He also said that the research would help to better understand water resources and would be very useful in policy formulation by the Government and other partners in the sector.
Presentations were made by CETRAD on: 1. Innovative tools for water resources monitoring, 2. Water trends in horticulture industry, 3. Potential of spring water to sustain water flow downstream of Ewaso Ngiro North river, 4. Innovative and Integrative Knowledge Platform (SHIP)5. Interfacing with the Water Resource Users Associations (WRUA’s)6. National Outlook: making a scale jump in data integration at the Kenyan basins and watersheds level.
A short plenary was held where the participants had a chance to make comments, ask questions and seek clarifications on areas that were not clear and propose improvements in the sector. |
Canning College has launched a new initiative that provides students with volunteer opportunities that engage them in community activities.
Award-winning WA Universities’ Foundation Program student Lee Dayoon was the first to take part in the program when she visited West Leeming Primary School this week.
Science teachers Tony Herbert and Simon Maddy attended with Dayoon to introduce the young students to microscopy.
In the 90-minute session, students learnt how to identify and describe the different parts of a microscope before using it to observe things such as crystals of sugar, onion cells, pollen grains, human hair and ants.
Dayoon, who was a joint winner of the 2022 Doug Russell Award as Canning’s outstanding WAUFP students, along with Micayla Han Qi Yi, was a great contributor to the session, helping the groups of students to conduct their tasks.
“It was nice to be able to help out and to show the young students some interesting science activities,” said Dayoon, who is from South Korea.
“I like the idea of being able to interact with members of the community and to be involved in something that feels important to the students.”
The West Leeming Primary School session was part of an ongoing collaborative partnership between Canning College, Curtin Universities and local schools.
Each visit will involve Canning College students engaging with members of the community in a voluntary capacity. Student volunteers are presented with a certificate from Canning College as a recognition of their contribution in extracurricular activities.
Science Specialist Mrs Charu Sharma from West Leeming Primary School was pleased with the activity.
“Our Year 5 students were highly motivated and engaged throughout the lessons prepared for them,” she said. “I greatly appreciate your time and effort and look forward to future collaboration.”
Mr Herbert was pleased with the inaugural activity.
“This is just one of many ways international students can engage in community activities,” he said. “It’s important that our students, who come from many parts of the world, feel genuinely connected to their studies and the place in which they have chosen to live.
“This initiative is a great way to connect students with the community through volunteering and we look forward to continuing this project in 2022.” |

Christmas Moments
This Christmas we were blessed with many things: special letters from each other, art, snowmen (!), carefully wrapped gifts, making Wise Men and daydreaming through the window.
Our family also participated in a Nativity play. Bekah was the very enthusiastic narrator (she moved so much I couldn't get a clear picture), Sarah and Matt were royal Wise Men and Daddy was the dominating King Herod (complete with baby rattle).

War of 1812 Field Trip
In November our co-op families studied the War of 1812 and in December we were thrilled to go downtown to visit the 200th Anniversary Experience at Canada Place.
Of course, we stopped at Granville Island first to play, eat and explore.
The Christmas flowers were magnificent!
The Anniversary Experience started out on the boardwalk at Canada Place and then continued inside with a multi-media presentation, artifacts and interactive displays.
Be sure to look carefully at Laura Secord's "face"!
We then finished things off with some Christmas pictures.

BRISTOL, Vt. — Vermont State Police are investigating a case of vandalism in which someone used an ax to cut holes into eight barrels of maple syrup, causing about 300 gallons to leak onto the floor of the sugar house where it was being stored.
Alan Mayer of Mayer Maple Products told police another 12 gallons of syrup was stolen sometime between Monday and Tuesday.
Cindy Mayer tells the Burlington Free Press there is nearly a season’s worth of syrup on the floor of their sugarhouse.
Cindy Mayer says she and her husband had been preparing their products for an upcoming craft fair.
She says the damage appeared to have been made with an ax.
Anyone with information about the case is asked to call the state police.

The Volcano – An enterprise Kanban board
After some experimentation, Tomas Rybing is back with another visualisation for teams using the Kanban method. He’s cut the top off of his Priority Pyramid and created The Volcano, which covers bigger teams and more products.
We have been using Kanban for over a year now, and things are really progressing well. I have written two previous blog posts about our visualisation work, and they have both become very popular:
- Priority Pyramid – Is a great way to prioritise your personal work, or to be used for a small team.
- The Arrow – Is the ideal way to go if you have one product backlog and one team.
Gradually as we have grown our Kanban initiative, the need emerged for a solution that could serve both multiple products and multiple teams. I thought for a long time on how to solve this, but I couldn’t really come up with a good visualisation. A colleague of mine kept saying that priority must be ”from top to bottom” if it should work (i.e. done vertically). That kept ringing in my head. One day it just hit me, why don’t you have ”swim lanes” also inside the pyramid? We cut off the top of the pyramid, and The Volcano was born!
An introduction to The Volcano
The purpose of The Volcano is the following:
- Prioritise work for multiple teams.
- Prioritise work for multiple products. In the picture above three ”swim lanes” are present for Product A, Product B and Product C.
- Indicate capacity allocation between different products.
- Indicate priority between work in different products. Individual positioning of the stickies can for example show that two stickies for Product A are more important than the most important for Product B.
- Can visualise a futurelog.
- Is an enterprise Kanban board that can cover the whole value chain.
Zooming in on the actual Volcano in the middle
The Volcano is horizontally divided into three separate priority levels:
- ”P1 – Next” – In this level work is placed that is ready for teams to take on as the ”next” thing to do. The work must be prepared and in such a state that a team can start to work on it, for example by including a clear and understandable DoD (Definition Of Done). A set of criterions should be fulfilled (like specifying a DoD) before moving work into ”next”.
- ”P2 – Soon” – In this level work is placed that shall take place ”soon”. It could be plain text with ideas on the stickies. However, for work to move on to the ”next” state, it has to be prepared as stated above.
- ”P3 – Later/Maybe” – In this level we place work that may or may not be done ”later”. As we do in the ”soon level” there is no need to specify this work in detail, it is kept here as a wish list or to not forget about it.
The Volcano is vertically divided into ”swim lanes”, one for each product it should support. The width of the ”swim lane” is used to steer capacity allocation between the products. A narrow ”swim lane” indicates low capacity allocation, while a wide one indicates high capacity allocation. In the picture above all ”swim lanes” have the same width, indicating that the three products have the same capacity allocation.
The work flows out of the Volcano (shown by the four arrows in the picture) and into the team’s respective Kanban boards. When a team has completed work and a ”swim lane” is free (capacity available), a work item is fetched from the volcano into a free ”swim lane” as an ongoing activity. It works best if the work items are of approximately the same size, we use stories (represented by ”larger” stickies). When the team starts to work with a story, they usually call for a planning meeting to break it down into tasks (represented by ”smaller” stickies) that then flows through their Kanban board.
How do you initialise the Volcano? One way can be to have a visual planning meeting.
Team’s Kanban boards
The picture above shows one of the four team Kanban boards (in this case for Team 3, but they are all similar). Lets start to look at the board to see what’s included.
Expedite (Fast Lane)
Sometimes the shit hits the fan and the team has to work with something that was not planned. To minimise discussions of the type, ”We are working with other things that are not on the board”, this urgent work also needs to be visualised. It could be, for example, preparations for a sales demo. A dedicated ”swim lane” above the others is used for this fast lane (to indicate the importance). You should be aware that putting work here will delay all other work that is ongoing, so this fast lane should be used with caution. You should have rules that limits usage of the fast lane, for example only one task at a time in the fast lane, max one per week etc.
Columns (the process steps)
The steps (columns going vertically) presented in the picture are Analysis, Design, Development, Test & Deployment. These columns shall reflect the steps you have in your process (i.e., they may not be the same as in this example picture). How do you find out what columns to use? You have to take a few stories and discuss the way they take you through your process.
”Swim lanes”
This example shows three ”swim lanes” per team (lanes going horizontally). The ”swim lanes” are used to limit WIP (work in process). How many ”swim lanes” should you have for a team? It depends on the size of the team and how much flow efficiency you want to have.
One ”swim lane” will give you the highest flow efficiency, then the whole team will be working on one story at the time. You can also call this mob programming when the whole team is only doing one thing at the one time. This may or may not be practical in reality, as team members will be idle. On the other hand, if you have the same amount of ”swim lanes” as you have members of your team, you will end up with a group of individuals working with their own thing, with little or no interest in functioning as a team!
One word of advice is to have fewer ”swim lanes” than you have team members to encourage collaboration. We have started with two persons per story and the team holds six team members, i.e., three ”swim lanes” (the same number that this example shows). To limit the number of ”swim lanes” hopefully also gives a mindset of using the capacity of the process with caution. Don’t let a story take up a ”swim lane” if it isn’t ready for it. If needed information is not present to perform the analysis, the story will not ”move forward” in the flow, and a ”swim lane” will be ”blocked”. We are wasting capacity.
DoD (column criterions)
Each column/step in the process has a written Definition of Done (DoD).”
- ”Have you written automated test cases?”
- ”Hmm, well no…”
- ”Please write the test case before we can move this task further.”
Classes of service (shown beside the Volcano in the first example picture)
By categorising the work into classes of service, the Kanban board will radiate even more information. In this example three classes of service are used:
- Green – System improvements (technical or maintenance driven)
- Yellow – Features (customer or roadmap driven)
- Pink – Bugs (errors in existing functionality, found internally or by customers)
Policies can be created: For example, X% of the work has to be in system improvements. Other things can also be spotted – if the pink stickies (bugs) are dominating we may have a problem with quality, and so on.
How to operate The Volcano
These are the steps needed for working with The Volcano:
- A regular meeting (we do it weekly) with all relevant stakeholders present to discuss the content of the volcano and decide what activities to move into the ”P1 – Next” section.
- When a team complete a story (capacity is available) they ”check out” a new from P1 and move it to the empty ”swim lane” as an ”ongoing” activity. It will be an empty spot in P1, but that does’t matter, as long as the meeting in 1) is held regular enough, not to let the whole P1 section become empty.
- The ”swim lane” of the product in the volcano is completely owned by the product owner. The product owner can at any time add or change the priority of the activities. But only in his or her ”swim lane”. Coordination, priority between activities for different products, takes place on the regular meeting in 1).
The volcano clearly states the difference between the ”what” and the ”how”. The stakeholders (management) decides on what shall be done, the teams decide how it should happen.
In-depth details of The Volcano
It’s said that a picture says more than thousand words. So instead of more written text, I have prepared a presentation on how work flows using The Volcano. You can find it below:
Learnings
This version of The Volcano is put up on three whiteboards (1.4 x 1.6 meters). The volcano part in the middle serves four team Kanban boards, one to the left, two on the right, and one on the other side of the room (see the arrows coming out of the top of the Volcano). The team on the left is actually using a mirrored Kanban board to fully visualise the flow of the work out from the Volcano and in and through their Kanban board!
Here are some learnings after using The Volcano for some time:
- We are using The Volcano in combination with a visual plan. The visual plan covers one of our products (we have three different products). The visual plan is discussed regularly and then we ”feed in” work to the Volcano. For another product we have a more formal process with a product owner that fills up that ”swim lane” with work items.
- The Volcano works best if the work items are approximately the same size (we have a rule of ≈10 working days, corresponding to a story). This makes prioritisation easier. You could in theory have features alongside bugs in the Volcano, but then the short term work will probably always be favoured.
- We update The Volcano at least once a week during a weekly planning and priority meeting. It’s very important to find a person that can host this meeting and lead a fruitful priority discussion. It should be someone with mandate and insight on all products. We don’t quite have this in place yet, so we are still struggling with this.
Summary
I hope you now have an better understanding of what The Volcano is and how it’s operated. If you have any feedback or comments, please feel free to contact me. One last thing, maybe you wonder why it’s called The Volcano? It’s because it’s a Priority Pyramid with the top cut off that ”shoots out” work to the teams, just like a volcano :)

Well I understand where you got the “Volcano” name from, that’s one dense board ! You took Kanban to a whole new other level, I like the 4D way of it and will give it a try.
We are big fans of Kanban at Zenkit, we even created our own free online tool to use this method, we invite you to give it a try and tell us what you think about it: |
What Is a List of the First 10 Natural Numbers?
Last Updated Mar 25, 2020 12:03:05 AM ET
The first 10 natural numbers are 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10. A natural number refers to any integer that is equal to or greater than 1, although 0 is included in some mathematical fields.
Natural numbers are primarily used in counting. When counting the number of objects, negative numbers and fractions are typically not needed. Many mathematical relationships and concepts can be related or determined from natural numbers. For example, when prime numbers are studied, natural numbers are almost exclusively examined. Natural numbers can also be used to order different values or objects, like ordering the competitors in a race from first to? |

Social Media is More Akin to Television than Search or Other Internet Marketing Forms.
What about ethnicity?
Are there any vulnerabilities in regards to privacy?
How about sharing and expanding the risk of sharing personal information?
I completely agree. I think this article is spot on. I think social media moving forward will begin to absorb tv commercial budgets as technology like TIVO and online videos make tv commercials less relevant.

WILLMAR -- After taking a break to remove their judicial robes and clear the auditorium stage, the seven justices of the Minnesota Supreme Court gamely answered a wide range of questions posed Wednesday morning by Willmar Senior High School |
Interstitial cystitis (IC), also known as painful bladder syndrome, is a chronic bladder issue often associated with bladder pressure and pain, with occasional pain in either the lower abdomen, pelvic, or lower back. The patient could experience pain raging from mild to severe.
The pelvic nerve signal to the brain gets mixed up in an individual suffering from interstitial cystitis. Consequently, an urgency to urinate, often in a small volume, is observed.
Factors contributing to interstitial cystitis are: a defect of the epithelium layer of the bladder, leaking epithelium allows toxic agents in urine to irritate the bladder wall. Other anticipated, but not clear, contributing factors include heredity, an autoimmune reaction, infection or allergy.
Various therapies and medication may provide relief from the symptoms for IC; however, there is still no cure for this disease.
Obtain Report Details at…titis-market.html
Studies conducted on interstitial cystitis and associated data have shown that it is thrice more prevalent in women than in men, and the risk increases with age. The female-to-male ratio is estimated to be 10:1.
It is estimated that around 1 to4 million men and 3 to8 million women suffer from IC. Rise in prevalence of IC stimulates the research and development on the drug, as it is likely to provide an appropriate environment for newer products to be profitable.
The prevalence of IC is estimated to be between 2.7% to 6.53% among older women in the United States. Patients suffering from other conditions such as fibromyalgia, irritable bowel syndrome, or allergies often experience IC.
According to a publication by National Institutes of Health (NIH), in 2012, the annual expenditure for medication for the geriatric population aged ≥65 years who are Medicare beneficiaries was US$ 249,160,233 (nonspecific and specific IC combined).
IC is mainly diagnosed by urine analysis, bladder ultrasound, cystoscopy, biopsy of bladder and urethra, bladder stretching, and prostrate fluid culture. The main goal is to relieve the symptoms of IC, and thus treatment is segmented into five phases: First phase by Physical therapy, second phase treatment by oral medication such as Amitriptyline – to regulate the bladder spasms, Pentosan (Elmiron) – helps rebuild the tissue lining the bladder, hydroxyzine, use of steroids, and dimethyl sulfoxide to treat severe IC conditions by blocking the pain and reducing the inflammation is also recommended.
The third phase is neurostimulation - transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation or sacral nerve stimulation. The fourth phase includes administering cyclosporine to alter the immune response on the bladder, and the fifth phase involves bladder detention or surgery.
The market currently has only two approved treatment options for IC: Elmiron (pentosan polysulfate sodium) and Rimso-50 (dimethyl sulfoxide). Elmiron was approved on September 26, 1996, and its patent expired on January 19, 2010.
Similarly, Rimso-50 was approved prior to January 1, 1982, and its patent expired before 2002. The current line of treatment is dominated by off-label drug options such as antidepressants (amitriptyline), antihistamines (hydroxyzine), and analgesics (opioid and non-steroidal) due to the limited availability of approved therapies.
The IC therapeutics market is currently weak due to limitations regarding the efficacy and compliance of available products. Other factors contributing to the significant unmet needs include limited approved treatment options, lack of awareness, and need for disease modifying therapies.
Current pipeline for the IC therapeutics market is very weak with a majority of the molecules in the early stage of development. These significant unmet needs and weak pipeline with a majority of the molecules in early stage pose new opportunities for new entrants.
In terms of geography, the interstitial cystitis market can be segmented into North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, and Rest of the World (RoW). The interstitial cystitis market is estimated to expand at a sluggish rate primarily due to the limited availability of approved products, low diagnosis rate, and lack of new product approvals.
Key players operating in the interstitial cystitis market are Aquinox Pharmaceuticals Inc., Astellas Pharma Inc, Merck & Co Inc, Allergan Plc., Kytogenics Pharmaceuticals Inc., BELLUS Health Inc, UCB SA, Lipella Pharmaceuticals Inc, Urigen Pharmaceuticals Inc, and Xigen!

Did a lot of "discovery" of my own this weekend. i had not been on any Riverboat Discovery for just laid back enjoyment in a long time. After catching heat from my (alleged) younger son after doing a gig, I decided he may right-I may be crazy-oh but it just may be a lunatic you're looking for . . . and I took the family for a ride aboard Discovery III, which was my first time ever on that one. The trip is awesome-even if you've been in Alaska for as long as I have. I guess maybe if I lived on the river it might not be as exciting? It was fun to play tourist in my own town. There was an intense battle of Rock, Paper Scissors with Captain Binkley on who would get to drive the boat . . . but I let him win cause he had the cool uniform already. Next time I'll come more prepared! If you have not done the Riverboat in a while, you should! Loved the plane taking off and circling the boat too, and the nice history lesson I got. Special shout-out to Jay Lewis who does a fantastic job commentating on the boat. This is a must do for visitors and us Alaskans alike. So thanks to my alleged son AJ for making me feel guilty and finally doing the boat for giggles . . . maybe next time he can go too!! Haha!! |
Running shoes, keys, and a watch were just a few of the things I made a point of acquiring before heading out for a workout. The first time I tried out for the track team during my senior year of high school, it felt logical to time every mile and push myself to set new personal records. When I made the transition from competitive running to leisure running as an adult, I found that keeping track of my workouts was no longer effective.
Giving Up Your Running Watch Might Be A Wise Move In Certain Situations
It wasn’t until my watch battery died a few years ago that I was able to experience the tranquility that comes with just running for the purpose of it. I’ve never replaced the battery in my watch, and according to some experts, this isn’t necessarily a bad thing if my workout goals are compromised as a result.
Unplugged running is becoming more popular in the fitness sector as a recent study indicates that tracking fitness data may lead to negative attitudes and outcomes. “There is clear evidence that individuals are becoming fascinated with it,” says a senior professor in business information systems at the National University of Ireland. “People who used to be interested in their sport and gained satisfaction from the activity are now turning their attention to the data.” His research is concerned with the psychology of social media participation as well as the usage of health-tracking software.
For individuals who utilize fitness tracking software, there is a great deal of social comparison to be had. In Whelan’s opinion, “people are getting more enjoyment out of gathering the data, assessing that data, and sharing it with other people.” “It is a natural propensity to compare one’s own running speed or distance with the speed or distance of others while doing sports. Moreover, we are all aware of the devastation they experience as a consequence of it.” According to Whelan, people who wear smartwatches, fitness trackers, or utilize apps are more likely to skip a workout if the batteries in their monitoring gadget run out.
“Perhaps we are unable to comprehend the signals that are being sent by our own bodies. The fact is that we are becoming more and more dependent on technology to take care of these things for us, but at the same time, “Whelan had the following to say. No matter how many times you inquire about how well an athlete I instruct slept last night, they will be unable to comment until they have seen the data. However, not all is doom and gloom. According to Whelan’s results, using a fitness tracker provides a number of benefits. Runners who compare themselves to their colleagues or who join online organizations that encourage one another to achieve their goals might find the motivation to keep going. Therefore, removing the material isn’t always the best decision for all parties involved.
Fitness trackers have been proven to enhance the motivation to exercise and the length and intensity of exercise sessions in several studies. According to Whelan, this is beneficial to people’s physical well-being in a variety of ways. When the use of fitness trackers transitions from being inspiring to becoming obsessive, a problem occurs, “We also recognize that not everyone is entitled to take advantage of these benefits.”

Sanitization Is Top Priority in Health Care
Next Gen Floor Finish
New Durable iXT Technology.
Third party certified.
According to various bacteria and infection control studies, surface organisms too small to be detected by the naked eye can still be harmful to a persons health. Every year, the unseen “bad bugs” (microorganisms) left on improperly cleaned surfaces adversely effect patients, leading to extended hospital stays — driving up the cost of medical care — and even death.
For those that wonder why hospitals aren’t as clean as they possibly should be, consider the fact that cruise ships and restaurants are routinely inspected by health departments for cleanliness. And for many years, food processing plants have used hand-held devices that measure or quantify the soil left on food preparation surfaces.
Hospitals are not subjected to the same inspections and, therefor, are not quantifying the effectiveness of their cleaning processes. But, there are organizations that are working to help health care facilities promote sanitization and proper infection control.
Organizations such as the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) urge health care workers to wash or sanitize their hands before and after touching a patient, or before and after gloving. They even encourage patients to insist that hospital workers perform hand hygiene in their presence to make sure it’s being done.
And although hand hygiene is a great habit to get into, it isn’t always enough. If hospitals aren’t cleaned properly, the hands of doctors and nurses will quickly become contaminated when they touch a bed rail, open the door to a supply cabinet or type on a computer keyboard.
Focus on Hygiene Professionals
The time has come to turn traditional cleaning professionals into hygiene professionals. Moreover, infection prevention will only become a reality when these hygiene professionals are properly regarded, educated and equipped.
A hygiene professional must be: well trained; equipped with the necessary tools to clean, sanitize and disinfect; allotted time to do the necessary tasks; provided the tools to enable scientific measurement; and educated about the prevention and transmission of disease.
Remember, also, that infection prevention doesn’t rely solely on the hygiene professional. Infection prevention must be a partnership and joint effort between the cleaning staff, patient, nursing staff, doctors and anyone else who enters a patient room.
For example, in addition to scheduled cleaning, the environment should be maintained throughout the day by using disinfectant wipes to clean common touch-points, removing spills immediately, posting signs and verbally reminding workers to wash their hands. Because nurses enter patient rooms most frequently, asking them to assist in this process will help in reducing surface-mediated transmission of disease.
Additional Disinfection Information
Prior to purchasing, hygiene professionals are advised to review disinfectants, their effectiveness and how to control selected microorganisms. Knowing the who, what, when, where, why and how of various disinfectants will result in proper selection and execution. These five W’s and H of disinfection are outlined in a three-part online series titled, “Disinfectants: What’s in Your Bucket?” (Part 1, Part 2, Part 3)
Additional information on proper disinfection and product selection is also outlined in the book, “Infection Prevention for Dummies.” It lists proper cleaning techniques, proper disinfection selection, and explanations of sanitizer and disinfectant labels and product claims.
Darrel Hicks is the author of "Infection Control for Dummies" and is recognized as one of the top experts on infection control issues. |

The fusion chain from hydrogen to helium is actually more than just taking 2 hydrogen atoms and making helium. You actually need 6 protons to make a helium nucleus in a chain of reactions ( called the pp-chain) that ends up producing 1 helium-4 nucleus, 2 positrons, 2 neutrinos, gamma rays, and 2 leftover protons.How many electrons are in a helium atom?
There are 2 electrons in the helium atom. (of course, in normal condition). Helium has an atomic number of 2. So for an atom to be known as a helium atom, it must have 2 protons. The amount of electrons must be the same as the number of protons in the atom for it to be neutrally charged.What is the atomic model for helium?
The Bohr model of helium (He) is the simplest design of an atom. Helium has an atomic weight of 4 and an atomic number of two. This means that it has two protons and two neutrons and two electrons (full first shell). As a result, it is a stable representation of modern valence theory. |

The first sensation: the yawing of the ship; the gentle sympathetic sway of his hammock. As long as he could remember, Gerhardt Ritchie had woken at the same time; always came to wakefulness as the sun rose in Demerara. In his current latitude, these were the long stretches of the night; the times he could lie quietly in his hammock and mull over his past day; plan for the coming day; consider the challenges in his life.
And the challenges were exceptional. His mission to San Francisco had been extraordinary – and fraught with danger. Under the instructions of the Governor, he was to recruit 50 men – all former slaves, all eager to save their families from the spreading pall of American slavery. His special ability to convince these men was obvious. A Demerara Creole, he had the special commission of the Governor of Vancouver Island in his pocket and a promise of 50 acres in return 4 years of militia service.
And so the ship sailed on – ever on – and so on – and so on

In what is quite possibly the least surprising twist of the summer, Carlos Tevez has decided that he is in fact happy to remain at Manchester City after all. This latest development is in no way linked to the complete absence of potential suitors, no sir. Perhaps his recent discovery of the Greggs store in the Arndale, thus bolstering the number of eateries in the city known to Tevez to three, has swayed his opinion. You get the impression he's partial to a Steak Bake.Tevez hasn’t so much done an about turn as a 720 degree double pirouette that Wayne Sleep would be proud of. It was back in December 2010 when Tevez first announced his intention to leave Eastlands, citing personal differences with certain members of the board. As Noel Gallagher wryly observed at the time, he would be the first player to leave "because he didn't like someone in the office". Garry Cook, for his part, refuted the allegations and has seemingly refused to get his hair cut since in protest. Sort it out, brother.Tevez subsequently withdrew his request, and went on to lead City to the FA Cup and Champions League qualification, before once again reiterating his desire to leave a couple of months ago. He claimed to be disenchanted with life in Manchester which, coming from someone born in a shanty town, is some criticism. Thank god he doesn’t live in Stockport.In Tevez’s defence, it is fair to say that he isn’t the brightest individual. To live in a country for five years and still not be able to speak a word of the native language is some achievement. One suspects that somewhere in Buenos Aires there is a village missing its idiot.However, it would be unfair to mock Tevez, especially in the light of his recent Alan Partridge-esque bout of depression and binge eating. Reports that he attempted to drive barefoot to Dundee are, as yet, unconfirmed but his delusional comments about still being the captain and symbol of the team hint at a man not in full control of his faculties.The real bête noir in this story is, of course, Tevez’s agent who is clearly instigating the whole charade. Kia Joorabchian has the aura of a typical Bond villain, with his greased back black hair, murky background, and three nipples. Probably.It seems particularly sinister that Joorabchian actually owned Tevez prior to his joining City, in the literal sense too, not the infuriating modern definition. Presumably during the off season Tevez was made to mow his lawns and carry out odd jobs around the Joorabchian household.To his credit, Joorabchian has negotiated a quite incredible contract for his client, as his earnings seemingly rise exponentially, according to the press at least. The latest figure plucked out of thin-, sorry exposed by journalists, is apparently £286,000 a week. At this rate it’s only a matter of time before he overtakes Yaya Toure’s reported £875,000 weekly wage.I can scarcely wait for Tevez’s next transfer request, which will presumably arrive in January 2012. And be retracted a few months later. Repeat ad nauseum. The only interesting aspect is trying to predict what ludicrous justification he will give for his decision next time. I’m going to gamble and say he’ll play the existential card, questioning the futility of mortality, and threatening to quit football altogether. Shortly before joining Paris St-Germain for a knockdown fee. |

We're a husband and wife Team, one who works in Banking, the other who consults in Banking. The mountains and the outdoors have always been an important part of our lives. In year's past, we've actively hiked, mountain biked, and enjoyed white water. The mountains have always called to us, and we've always sought to share what we love. Now with 4 kids (one still at home) and 7 grandchildren, the importance of combining family and adventure is important to us. We built this home to eventually retire to, so we built it high end and handicap friendly.
Susan Hunnicutt purchased this cabin in 2008
Being a graduate of Appalachian State University and spending a lot of years skiing and enjoying the outdoors, the male part of the team was immediately drawn to the Boone Blowing Rock area. The female part of the team saw nothing but two small towns with a limited amount to do and to experience. To her, the Asheville area presented a wealth of different experiences. In year's past, the couple had spent many hours hiking, and rafting in and around the Asheville. The memories of the many small mountain towns, the festivals, and recreational activities soon drove the decision in the right direction. Upon exiting the car after viewing many lots in and around the area, the sound of the babbling creek at the back of the lot is what made the decision. It was a great decision.
Serenity and peace. Accessibility and 'self-contained' adventure. The Preserve is a gated acreage home site which borders the Pisgah National Forest. There are hiking trails, streams, and water falls in the preserve. There is an abundance of nature. We have seen bears, turkeys, rabbits, deer, raccoons and skunks. This is all possible because there is NO HUNTING! You are just minutes from Black Mountain, Asheville, Hendersonville, Lake Lure and Chimney Rock. There are a large number of crafts show and 'events' happening all the time.
Thanks for asking Susan, we made it home fine. We sincerely enjoyed our week in your beautiful home. We ended up bringing my 76 year old mother instead of my daughter and her family, as they decided to move to Portland. My mother had never seen anything so beautiful and thoroughly enjoyed sitting on the deck reading all day. You had a book there that she picked up on Sunday and didn’t put down till she finished it late Monday. It rained all day on the first day so we didn’t get out, but there was so much in the home to do (or not to do, which was sooo relaxing). My 30 year old son found a jigsaw puzzle and started working it Sunday afternoon and had it finished (with minimal help from the rest of us) by Tuesday night (all 1000 pieces ARE there too).
Thank you again for letting us use your home for the week. There was no detail overlooked and my 18 month old granddaughter really enjoyed all the things to play with in the little girls room. You may want to add a photo of that room to the listing as it was totally unexpected, but what a nice surprise.
Sincerely,
Becky
Beautiful home with all the amenities! Movie room and air hockey big hits. We had a two family pre-back to school vacation and was a hit with all ages. Lots to do close by and an easy drive. Kitchen was well stocked and furnishings very comfortable. Owners very accessible and attentive.
Highly recommend.
This was a great location for our bachelor party weekend. It accommodated 10 guys nicely. There was lots of room for us to move around. Each floor was like a new house. And we loved the double decker deck - especially at night. The outdoor fireplace was key! Susan (the owner) was responsive and helpful during the coordination of the trip. I would definitely recommend her house to others. Thanks for helping us make some lasting memories!
Our family of 8 spent our Memorial Day Weekend at this awesome home. Everything about this house was great, from the expansive wrap around decks to the incredible theatre room. (I want to build one in my home now) We enjoyed the area that the house was nestled in to as well. We hiked to the falls and had a great time. The house was very convenient to the cool little town of Black Mountain where we enjoyed walking around and dining. I recommend this vacation home to anyone. It has everything!
We enjoyed the quiet serenity of this lovely cabin for a long weekend in May. The main floor and lower floor bedrooms provided privacy for each family. We began our days with coffee and breakfast on the upper deck and watched the sun rise over the mountains. Then we ended our days with wine on the lower deck at dusk as the last of the light stayed on the mountain tops. This is a spacious, well-equipped cabin in a gorgeous setting.
Loved the time we spent here. The kitchen had everything we needed. Ingles groc. was on the way out of Black
Mountain, easy to stop and grab what food we needed. Plenty of space for us all. The property is as described! Clean and everything woking well. The kids loved watching movies each night...the home has lots of movie choices. Our son loved the air hockey table. The girls enjoyed sitting on the deck reading. Fun to hike around the area. We ate at a pizza place in Black Mountain called Fresh (i believe) wood fired pizza... it was very good. Everything was better than we expected! Thank you for being easy to work with and sharing your home!
Everything about the house was wonderful. The location was the perfect distance to Asheville for our needs. The amenities I. The home exceeded expectations. I recommend this home to anyone.
The property is located in Catawba Falls Preserve, which is 7 miles to downtown Black Mountain.
Other Activities: Hiking, Shopping, Rock Climbing, Basketball Court, Kayaking, Boating, Health/Beauty Spa, Miniature Golf.
Golf: Municipal and public courses with 15 miles.

Supreme Court considers impact of disability law on police
Legal Business - POSTED: 2015/03/21 16:40 nation's highest court will consider how police must comply with the Americans With Disabilities Act when dealing with armed or violent people who have psychiatric problems or other disabilities.
The case involves a 2008 incident in San Francisco in which police responded to a call from a group home for the mentally ill. A resident who suffers from schizophrenia, Teresa Sheehan, threatened to kill her social worker with a knife and locked herself in her room. The social worker asked the police to help restrain Sheehan and get her to a hospital where she could be treated.
The incident ended with officers forcing their way into Sheehan's room and shooting after she charged them with the knife. She survived and filed a lawsuit, claiming police had a duty under the ADA to consider her mental illness and take more steps to avoid a violent confrontation.
The ADA generally requires public officials to make "reasonable accommodations" to avoid discriminating against people with disabilities. But lower courts have split on how the law should apply to police conduct when public safety is at risk. |

How would you like to bring a sharpened, market-responsive focus to your campus, as well as:
- Increase your resident’s average length of stay?
- Provide a “feeder market” for your independent and assisted living?
- Optimize your resident profile?
- Improve your operating profit margin?
- Make productive use of available land?
- Put additional cash in your coffers?
Better still, how would you like to accomplish all of this with limited capital and acceptable market and financial risk?
If this strikes your fancy, and you have some available land on your existing CCRC campus, consider adding active adult housing. While open space on the campus is certainly desirable, many sponsors and owner/operators now prefer to devote part of that land to active adult housing. Many continuing care retirement communities are located on a 20-acre or larger site.
An active adult community frequently consists of single family detached homes with living areas of approximately 1,500 to 1,800 square feet with garages. The resulting unit density is typically four to six units/acre. A higher density alternative would be single family attached duplexes, triplexes and quadraplexes with living areas ranging from 1,300 to 1,600 square feet with a density of six to eight units/acre.
Active adult housing can provide a very attractive alternative to your smaller CCRC apartments, which typically range from 600 to 1,200 square feet.
Active Adult Financial Synergy
Adding 25 active adult cottages/villas with a reasonable land cost allocation has a big payoff. Developing the land allows you to realize an increase of land value that you probably already own free and clear. In addition, when successfully implemented, you will now be spreading much of your existing fixed costs (executive director, general administrative costs, etc.) across additional revenue-producing units. You will also realize ongoing increases in cash flow after paying all operating expenses and mortgage payments.
You will also diversify your product mix and realize a more optimum resident profile. At the same time, you’ll also extend the average length of stay on your campus. If you offer any form of life care, you will likely lower your future actuarial and financial risks. Remember, entry fees (one active adult pricing option) are essentially interest free loans that you get to keep for an extended time – typically for as long as the resident lives on your campus.
Market Positioning for a Slightly Different Resident Profile
When adding active adult villas, you’ll have some unique market positioning issues to address. Your current independent living or CCRC resident profile probably consists of 70 to 80 percent single/widowed females with a typical entry age of 80 years or more. Most of these residents have specific needs and have probably already experienced a health related “wake-up call.” This type of situation has motivated them to make the senior living decision in the first place.
On the other hand, active adult villa residents are typically couples in the 75- to 80-year-old age range, active, and in relatively good health. Their average entry age will change slightly. Instead of residents moving in at 80 years or older, residents – primarily couples – will typically move in when they are 75 to 80 years old. They desire hassle-free living with the option of purchasing additional a la carte services such as meals, housekeeping, and possibly health care.
Market positioning must be concise and clearly segmented to avoid confusion and cannibalization between your cottages/villas and your independent living apartments. Each must be positioned as separate products for seniors who have different short-term wants and needs, but common long-term concerns.
To many seniors, this represents the cure for the classical “I’m not ready for retirement living” sales objection. They can access senior living without a comprehensive array of mandatory services. To many CCRC owner/operators, it represents a whole new market. In the past, this niche market of senior housing was usually perceived as a site-specific, large-scale project involving hundreds of units. But today, a moderate-sized CCRC can boost its bottom line by developing its own brand of active adult housing at minimal cost.
Before moving on, take a very close look at your specific situation and consider whether active adult housing is appropriate for your campus in terms of the location and availability of land. Also, consider “resident flow patterns” and how active adult housing expands your continuum of living options. These are important issues you and your team should consider. Don’t forget the potential financial impact. At MDS, we can help you examine your situation and together determine if this is a profitable situation for your organization.

This will be the first Thanksgiving dinner I make that a) doesn’t take me three days to prepare and b) doesn’t cost me half a paycheck! I’m equal parts excited and disappointed that I just wasn’t up for a big production this year.
I’m breaking my golden rule and cutting the corner; I’m not making anything from scratch. Here’s my list for this year:
2 organic whole wheat pie crusts $4.89
2 cans organic pumpkin $5
Organic pumpkin pie spice $3.50
Sweetened condensed milk $2.49
All natural turkey breasts $8
Organic bagged stuffing $6 (for two!)
Two 16oz boxes organic cranberry sauce $6
Few lbs of sweet potatoes (just gonna mash ‘em and sprinkle ‘em with cinnamon) $4
Finally, Adrien’s making a macaroni and cheese casserole, but since that’s pretty much his baby, I didn’t price that.
Now THAT’S how you do Thanksgiving! Super inexpensive (just under $40, in fact) and it’ll be super tasty. |
WEST a competitor, it is something of which she must be constantly aware.
Pole Power is a fitness regimen that focuses on using vertical poles not unlike those found in particular gentleman’s clubs as weight and stamina training tools. They act as an aid for using a participant’s weight as the resistance for shaping and toning but also as a way of taking the drudgery out of the workout equation.
“It’s not about dancing around the pole,” Houck said. “It’s about the aerial aspect of it.”
If you’ve tried to climb a pole recently, you understand that it isn’t as easy as it might appear. Shear strength aside, it takes a combination of balance and coordination as well as regular practice to even begin to climb a pole, let alone perform acrobatic feats upon it.
Having acquired the skill to perform consistently at a high level as well as to teach others to do the same, Houck set her sights on a new goal.
As with any professional athletic endeavor, there comes a point where the clock begins to tick. It is the rarest of athletes who can manage to remain at the top of the game indefinitely, and when it comes to the gymnastic sports, the window is narrower and closes all the faster.
Over the last several years, Houck has continued to work on her skills as an instructor and as a competitor, attending classes and conventions that allow her to network with experts in the field and to improve her standing in the pole power community.
Through this continued education and connection making, she recently attained the PDC-USA Level 2 status as an instructor, one of the highest professional designations available. The certification requires more than demonstrating knowledge attained; it requires recommendations from other professionals familiar with the candidate’s work.
Having just about topped out as far as professional goals — her business is well established and growing and there isn’t much more Houck can do as far as professional development — she’s begun to pursue a personal goal: to compete as a Masters Finalist for the American Pole Fitness Championship.
Because the routines can be so complex and take a significant amount of time — there are often thousands of competitors — in order to qualify for the annual final competition in N.Y. would-be champions must submit a videotape of a workout they’ve choreographed and performed on their own.
Just as with, say, the rings in gymnastic competitions, judging is based on combined criteria rather than aesthetic concerns alone. This means that the routine has to be aesthetically pleasing but that the way it looks isn’t as important as the pieces that are combined to make it complete.
Participants must demonstrate agility, flexibility and strength. So while a complicated or novel pose counts for something, the ability to hold that pose gracefully counts for even more.
“It’s all about the sport and athleticism [in the competitions],” Houck said.
This year, Houck advanced as an Elite Finalist, placing in the top 18 of 80 competitors nationally who had been selected from many more, but didn’t make the final cut for the Masters Finalist division, which competes for the championship.
It’s an accomplishment of which she is rightfully both proud and dissatisfied and this is where balancing goals and the will to achieve them comes in.
Houck expects to be selected to compete as a Masters Finalist within the next four years. She feels physically and psychologically able to complete the task and, given how she’s used those tools to grow the professional side of her business, her likelihood of success is promising. |

We popped into our local Game today and whilst browsing the pre-owned section heard something very interesting.
please announce this game,pleaseee!!!
Would be time to announce it soon! Can't wait for it!
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!! sorry just got excited there :D
They may announce it soon, but there is no chance it's coming out in February. I was on the Beta for Warhawk and that lasted almost two months so February is very unlikely. I'd say September 2011 release, with a beta coming May/June time.
Seems far too soon to release it, it would only have 2 month of coverage maximum.
Yeah, because GAME staff are notorious for having a clue. Must be true. /s everythingfail.com
The reason it's marked as rumour. Game as a company are reliable and as said in the article have proved to be right in the past.
"because GAME staff are notorious for having a clue." Some of us are actually alright. there's a higher majority of muppets in customers. mate.
2012? 2015? 3001? Pretty sure they would have announced it by now if it was 2011.
I don't see a retailer mentioning something a year away helping their cause.
Obviously not true. Fall 2011 at the earliest, you clowns.
Stop (Even though I know you put this in the rumor section) you and I both know this Is a place holder date. Off topic: Sound off on you're rank on warhawk If you have one.
Commander. stopped playing because of MAG thinking of going back to it now and spending the next 3 months trying to make General and failing most likely. probably the hardest game to platinum on ps3.
General son!
Of course customer service staff are always privy to the release dates on all games, even un announced ones! Video game journalism is an absolute joke, this would have been announced months ago if it was only 2 months away from release.
Articles like this say that, but there are plenty of good ones out there. Just have to crawl deep down into the cracks to find it.
Not disagreeing with you bud, this just doesn't seem worthwhile to anyone so it's beyond me how something like this gets approved.
doubt it. but this would make me very, very happy, and more broke than i'm already going to be having recently bought gt5, cataclysm, gonna get lbp2 and two worlds 2. starhawk would be a midnight for me, even if i had to go to walmart.
That article was really hard to read....
maybe you need glasses :O
Or some people still need to go to college English....Ill stick with that.
I'll stick with you need glasses lmao!
Well what has incognito been working on, has that ever been stated?
Incognito fell apart,the new studio is called Lightbox. Can't wait for Starhawk,I played 110 hours of Warhawk although the last 30 or so were hard on us tank drivers with the changes in balance,jetpaks,machine guns etc and the fact that Warhawk pilots became immune to all attack except other Warhawks.
I clocked in over 1300 hours in Warhawk. Played it almost everyday from the release in 2007 until Sept 2009 when Uncharted 2 took over for online play xD Stoked for Starhawk
Thanks! Bubs for being helpful. I loved warhawk too, i could never fly verywell though so i stayed on the ground. Loved teh game though.
although it wouldn't surprise me to hear starhawk does exist, do you think they'd really announce the game then release it within 2 months...
This would be awesome if true but it seems off.we haven't even seen a trailer or have had a official announcement yet,and feb seems to close for starhawk to be released that would leave vary little time for advertisement which would not be a good move,so i don't think its true even tho i want it to be.
Febraury 4th ? and Killzone 3 coming february 22 nd i think ? hardly believe this " rumor " lol , i know theres a lot of ps3 coming out next year but sony has to be smart and spread them out , specially when they are on the same genre , maybe not on the same genre but both of them are shooters
I think it's going to be revealed at the VGA'S/
Sony announces "It's true". *N4G explodes*
Gosh I hope this gets revealed on the 11th, would make my night if it was, I'm a huge WARHAWK fan!
doubt it. Sony have a thing about announcing games well before release, like over a year at least. To announce starhawk now and bring it out in under 2 months is very very unlikely. I mean Nintendo are usually the ones who announce a game a few months before release (see goldeneye 007, donkeykong and kirby) but that's still a good few months. If starhawk is in development i'd expect at least 6 months- a year after announcement before it ships
Besides having only two months before release, the game would be coming out right in front of Killzone 3. I would love that, but Sales wise it would be a stupid move by Sony.
I can't wait I loved WARHAWK and star hawk is jus gonna blow the first
Seems really soon doesn't it? Unless its trailer is shown on VGA and release window then hey B-day present for me. :D
If Starhawk is true, which I believe it to be, then I'm sure it'll be epic like Warhawk, and I love space related stuff.

Linear cutting machine tools can be divided into high-speed, low-speed and medium-speed wire-moving machine tools. They are used to cut the workpiece by producing wire cut electrical discharge by the machine tool in the process of work. There are similarities, as well as differences. Their differences lie in workpiece quality, rather than the wire-moving speed in the machining process. Next, we'll introduce a medium-speed wire-moving machine tool with the best machining effect in detail, and now let's take a look at the cutting process of the workpiece.
1. Principle of medium-speed wire-moving cutting workpiece
At the time of workpiece machining, the quality of the workpiece machined is between high-speed and low-speed wire-moving technologies, so it is called as medium-speed wire-moving technology. Such cutting technology uses the molybdenum wire that continuously moves as electrode, which produces pulse current under certain AC voltage, and then results in discharge spark, and such spark can erode the metal, so that it can make some metal workpieces cut into certain shapes.
2. General process of medium-speed wire-moving cutting
When cutting the workpiece, it is usually to control the machine tools through digital programming and then complete the cutting process of the workpiece. In the process of workpiece machining, it is necessary to set some parameters for programming, such as high-frequency pulse width and wire-moving speed, etc. After these parameters are set, programming is equivalent to a control system, which will control the entire machining process of workpiece. In the process of workpiece cutting, it can be used to cut for multiple times. During cutting, its running speed is not slower than high-speed wire-moving cutting, and to be precise, its speed is even faster than high-speed wire-moving cutting.
When cutting, the cutting speed can be adjusted according to parameter settings. The medium-speed wire-moving technology can be used for multiple cutting, which is somewhat similar to the working principle of low-speed wire-moving technology. Only after multiple cutting can the cutting speed be reduced, and the cutting quality falls between high-speed and low-speed wire-moving technologies, but its efficiency is the highest among the three. |

Recently a able biographer who gives classes on How to Write and Advertise What You Write wrote an commodity slamming online commodity acquiescence sites and the abecedarian authors who column articles. So if you accede this; actuality is a able biographer accusatory that the amateurs are putting up chargeless online autograph and accordingly The Real Able Writers cannot advertise anything?

Are they cogent us they cannot attempt with a agglomeration of amateurs? Why?

Her apperception is fabricated up now and so if asked to accept affinity and see her angle on this affair if she attacked us, able-bodied I say; No Way!

for Joe and the kids from what already exists in our fridge and cupboard. In keeping every time of day in mind, here are a few of my favorite recipes for breakfast, lunch, and dinner together that are meant to be moldable. I like that you can add in what you like and take out what you don’t! Please share your favorite easy recipes in the comments below! I am all ears and need all the help I can get!
/>
Recipe: 1 part milk of your choice, to 1/2 part oats, to 1/4 parts chia. Add all of that to a jar at night and it will be ready to eat in the morning! You can find your preferences for toppings, but a basic guideline it to add a sweetener, a fruit, and a crunch! Maple syrup, blueberries, and almonds; honey, strawberries, and granola; or cinnamon, mango, and coconut flakes are some of my favorites!
/>
Prepping smoothie ingredients to freeze and blend in the morning is a great way to save time and money. Here is the basic recipe: 1/2 cup fruit, 1/2 cup veggies (double if they are leafy vegetables), 1 cup liquid, and a little sweetener if you want! Just freeze the solid foods and then add the liquids to a blender in the morning. My favorites are: blueberry, shredded beet, honey, almond milk and a little basil; mango/banana, kale, carrot, and coconut flakes; strawberry/banana, spinach, and orange juice (beware: this one doesn’t look as pretty but it tastes amazing!) The best part is: you can just put the smoothie back into the frozen jar for a chilled on-the-go smoothie!
/>
I like to use albacore tuna in a bag with plain greek yogurt instead of mayonnaise. To mimic the taste of mayo even more, add a pinch of salt! I mix that in a bowl with sriracha to taste. That’ll be the base of the wrap, and from there you can add whatever veggies you prefer! I like shredded carrot, avocado, and a little apple or grape! Put all of that into a big romaine leaf for a perfect lunch!
/>
The core of this salad: spring greens and kale, chopped broccoli, blueberries, feta cheese, almonds, oil and balsamic vinegar. That’s it! Add more of what you love and less of what you don’t! Some other ideas if you love a super-loaded salad? Roasted sweet potatoes, finely chopping red onion or grilled chicken!
/>
Zoodle. Heaven. I like to use a Veggie Bullet to spiralize daikon, zucchini, and carrot as a base for this easy and healthy salad. From there, I like to chop up cucumber, green onion, snap peas, firm tofu, and cilantro to add to the mix. The sauce is pretty fluid and made to taste, but start with this base: sesame oil, soy sauce, sriracha, peanut butter (pro tip: use something like PB2 or another powdered peanut butter to make easily mixable, liquid peanut butter), ginger, lime juice, and honey. To make this, just throw it all in a jar and shake! Top with crushed peanuts or almonds and enjoy!
Pairs perfectly with a cold, citrusy beer!
/>
Start with a store-bought flatbread (I like the ones from Trader Joe’s), And on top of that, the possibilities are endless. My favorite and easy way to dress it with a spread of avocado-hummus. Either store bought or blended with a can of chickpeas, 1 avocado, olive oil, mint, basil, and S&P. On top of that, I put a spread of cherry tomatoes, kalamata olives, (more) chickpeas red pepper, red onion, and feta or goat cheese. Another simple way to dress it is with the same hummus, mozzarella, sliced roma tomato, full basil and spinach leaves, and this Fini Balsamic Reduction with Fig.
You could bake any of these for ~10 minutes at 375, but in the spirit of no-cook meals, you don’t have to!

These are such great recipe ideas!!! I drink a smoothie each morning, but I save half for the next day, so I guess that’s my pre-made smoothie, haha! I’ve been super curious about chia seeds – do you notice any difference in energy fullness with them? I’m trying to change up my breakfast routines here and there.

Description
Presented by Cracking The Cryptic, YouTube’s most popular Sudoku channel, comes a new game based on one of their most popular videos: Miracle Sudoku.
Miracle Sudoku features beautiful puzzles that at first glance look impossible to solve!! Indeed, some of our Miracle puzzles have as few as two givens digits (!) but you will find them all to be solvable with a bit of clever logic! At launch you will be able to play through 4 variants all of which make use of a non-consecutive restraint (ie neighboring cells cannot have two consecutive numbers in them). They are Non-Consecutive Sudoku, classic Miracle Sudoku (non-consecutive + knight + king restrictions), Non-Consecutive Thermo Sudoku and Non-Consecutive Sandwich Sudoku. Each of these variants has a unique feel which refreshes the logic you may be used to, especially in thermo and sandwich sudoku!
As with our other games (‘Classic Sudoku’, ‘Sandwich Sudoku’, ‘Chess Sudoku’ and 'Thermo Sudoku'), Simon Anthony and Mark Goodliffe (the hosts of Cracking The Cryptic) have written all the hints for the puzzles. So you know that every puzzle has been play-tested by a human being to ensure that each
4 different variants with more hybrid variants coming post launch
100 puzzles in all with regular updates to reach this total in the first year post launch.
Hints crafted by Simon and Mark!

- Mean Change in Hemoglobin Between Baseline and the Evaluation Period [ Time Frame: Baseline and Week 20 to Week 25. ]The primary efficacy endpoint was the mean change in Hemoglobin between Baseline (the mean of the 4 most recent hemoglobin values prior to Enrollment and the hemoglobin on the day of Enrollment) and the Evaluation Period (mean hemoglobin from Weeks 20 to 25).
- Percentage of Participants With Hemoglobin Within the Target Range of 10.0 to 12.0 g/dL During the Evaluation Period [ Time Frame: Week 20 to Week 25. ]
Mean hemoglobin was calculated from measurements taken during the Evaluation Period (Week 20 to Week 25). The target hemoglobin range was 10.0 to 12.0 g/dL.
The 95% confidence interval was calculated from the normal approximation with continuity correction.
- Percentage of Participants With a Change in Hemoglobin From Baseline to the Evaluation Period Within 1 g/dL [ Time Frame: Baseline and Week 20 to Week 25. ]Percentage of participants with a mean change in Hemoglobin between Baseline (the mean of the 4 most recent hemoglobin values prior to enrollment and the hemoglobin on the day of enrollment) and the Evaluation Period (mean hemoglobin from measured at Weeks 20 to 25) of less than or equal ± 1 g/dL. The 95% confidence interval was calculated from the normal approximation with continuity correction.
- Percentage of Participants With Red Blood Cell Transfusions [ Time Frame: Up to 25 weeks. ]The percentage of participants who received one or more red blood cell transfusions, including packed red blood cells and whole blood transfusions, during the Titration Period (Weeks 1 - 19) and Evaluation Period (Weeks 20 -25). 95% Confidence Intervals were calculated from the normal approximation with continuity correction. One patient had the last study visit during the titration period and the transfusion after the titration period. This patient is excluded from the summary of evaluation period.
- Mean Hemoglobin During 4-week Intervals [ Time Frame: Up to 25 weeks. ]Hemoglobin was measured every 2 weeks during the Titration Period (Weeks 1-19) and weekly during the Evaluation Period (Weeks 20-25). One patient did not have central lab hemoglobin value during a regularly scheduled visit during weeks 2-5.
- Percentage of Participants With Target Hemoglobin of 10.0 to 12.0 g/dL by 4-week Intervals [ Time Frame: Up to 25 weeks. ]Percentage of participants with mean hemoglobin levels falling between the target level of 10.0 to 12.0 g/dL during 4-week study intervals. Hemoglobin was measured every 2 weeks during the Titration Period (Weeks 1-19) and weekly during the Evaluation Period (Weeks 20-25). 95% Confidence Intervals were calculated from the normal approximation with continuity correction.
- Percentage of Participants With Dose Adjustments During the Study [ Time Frame: From Week 4 to Week 25 ]The peginesatide dose was adjusted to maintain hemoglobin values in the target range of 10 to 12 g/dL and ±1.5 g/dL from Baseline during the Titration Period (Weeks 1-19) and Evaluation Period (Weeks 20-25). A dose was classified as adjusted if it was not within 20% of the previous dose. A dose was classified as increased or decreased if it was >20% higher or >20% lower respectively, than the previous dose.

According to the International Federation of Renal Registries, in 1999 the prevalence of peritoneal dialysis in the United States as approximately 9.5% of patients receiving dialysis (2005 United States Renal Data Systems data indicates a prevalence of around 7.5%). Data from Europe in 1999 to 2000 (not including the United Kingdom, France or Germany) indicated peritoneal dialysis was the mode of dialysis in approximately 11.1% of dialysis patients. 2006 data from the United Kingdom indicates that more than 20% of patients on dialysis are receiving peritoneal dialysis while French and German data indicate rates of 8.1% and 4.8% respectively. More than 90% of patients with chronic renal failure/chronic kidney disease Stage 5 (End Stage Renal Disease) are anemic. The vast majority of patients receiving hemodialysis or peritoneal dialysis receive erythropoiesis-stimulating agent therapy to treat their anemia. kidney disease (CKD) 29 weeks.
Inclusion Criteria:

Your independent source of information about Wickenburg, AZ.
Only have a few minutes to learn about Wickenburg? Start here:
Have you ever heard the adage dry years make cactus etc. bloom more than wet ones? In a wet year you don’t see as many blooms on cactus. Wild flowers on the other hand are abundant in wet years.
Well as wet as 2005 was, and the mind numbing abundance of wildflowers we saw, 2006 is the year of the drought! 143 official days according to the Phoenix folks.
My, have you been out to see the Saguaros in bloom?
On a drive down Lake Pleasant Rd on Friday May 19th, the plants were in full bloom. They have just now bloomed in the Congress area, and will soon bloom at the higher elevations such as Bagdad. We plan on driving out there this week.
Saturday the 20th we drove down Vulture Mine Road by the trail head to check the plants out at that elevation. They were fabulous there too. We went back to the same area later that afternoon to take some pics at sunset.
On the way there, we had a additional reward of seeing a covey of baby Gambel’s Quail with Mom and Dad leading the way, crossing the road by the Los Cab Country Club going out to the desert brush for dinner.
Sunday morning we were on the road by 6 am back to Lake Pleasant to take additional photos. We didn’t have our ladder with us on the first trip and wanted to get some closer pics. Terry, my husband a real trooper, climbed his trusty ladder to take the incredible shots of the Saguaro’s.
You may wonder why we went out so early. The reason is, these flowers generally only open at night and close pretty soon after the sun starts to beat on them. Now if you have a cloudy day with rain, like we had on May 22nd, they may stay open the entire day, and they did.
Bats and other night creatures feed on the Saguaro blossoms and spread the pollen around. Many birds make their homes in these beautiful plants. Arizona’s State Flower is the Saguaro.
One of the things my friends and family have talked about this year is really never seeing this many blooms on the Saguaro’s and as far down on the arms and bodies. Generally they are on the tops, kind of like a crew cut. This year they have been down as far as two or more feet from the tips of the arms as well as being en masse. There must have been two hundred blooms on one of the Saguaro’s we saw.
Cholla’s were blooming also on this trip. Beautiful delicate yellow flowers with green clusters inside. Must be yummy since the ants were in there too.
Along with the Cacti blooming were gorgeous stands of Ironwoods, Palo Verdes, White Thorn, Mesquit and Desert Willows. I have never seen that many Ironwoods blooming at once. All shades of light pink to a deep mauve. The blooms were like tiny orchids.
Glad to share with you some of Arizona’s beautiful deserts High and Low, Up Close and Personal.
Notes:
(1) Read about Saguaro’s here:
(2) Hwy 74 by Mile Post 3 Saguaro with wonderful hanging arm
Mile post 12 -16 was the best viewing for Ironwoods, Palo Verde’s and Saguaro’s
(3) Vulture Mine Road from South of Los Caballeros to the Vulture Mine Trail Head. Lots of Nice Saugaro’s, Cholla’s, and other desert plants you can get close to.
Some additional links for you to look at.
(4) Tons of information on Desert Habitat, Wildlife, etc:
I think you must try to find out the names of the desert plants and put them on your website
the detal it amazing
but the lighting is horrible! |
Telecoms companies and old-fashioned hosting providers are all about added value these days – the services they provide are highly commoditized, so they want to differentiate themselves through bolted-on software-as-a-service products such as email and cloud storage.
Enter Open-Xchange, a German company that we recently covered for its innovative OX Documents service, a cloudified office suite built by some of the coders behind OpenOffice. The company has just pulled in a respectable $20 million in funding from service provider United Internet, along with former Deutsche Bank COO Hermann-Josef Lamberti and other existing investors – some of the cash will be used to pay out an early investor whose fund is at the end of its life, but the rest will go towards software development and a further international push.
Although you’ve probably never heard of the firm, Open-Xchange has around 80 million users for its email and office productivity services, via its 75 service provider customers in 60-odd countries. According to CEO Rafael Laguna, (pictured above) two-thirds of Open-Xchange’s revenues still come from Europe, but there’s a fair amount of growth elsewhere including in the U.S., where the firm is partnered with Openwave Messaging (customers there include cable companies such as Cox and hosting giant Endurance International Group).
“We’re becoming the web desktop for these guys – any web application that they launch is provided by us,” Laguna told me. “It’s like moving the operating system into the browser, almost – email, cloud storage, file collaboration and then this whole office productivity thing.”
If OX Documents is anything to go by, it’s worth keeping an eye on the software Open-Xchange comes out with. The OX Text app is pretty innovative in its approach to non-destructive collaborative document editing, and bears checking out as an upstart rival to the likes of Microsoft(s msft) Office 365 and Google(s goog) Docs.
As Laguna put it, Open-Xchange’s clients have “realized there’s no way that they as service providers can be a software company at the same time.”
I’d say we’re seeing something vaguely analogous happening outside the software-as-a-service realm with infrastructure outfit OnApp, which is taking things a step further by not only throwing the service providers a cloud-in-a-box lifeline but gathering them up into a pretty powerful federation for compute capacity, storage and content delivery. There generally seems to be a solid business model in scooping up these legacy web service businesses and helping them compete in the modern, cloudified age.
One Response to “Open-Xchange pulls in $20M to help ISPs and hosting providers battle Microsoft and Google”
congrats Rafael + team. Nice one! |
Readers chose random words, but rather can give concrete examples to support their conclusion.
To anchor this lesson into our learning, I print a copy of the book’s cover and add the character traits words to a bulletin board display.
It is a great reference tool a copy of my character traits list and minilessons, click here.

First of all…love your new blog design! Your post is fabulous, and I love the idea of the book jacket and traits explored. I mentioned it in my post, but my kids struggle with the meaning of trait language sometimes, so by naming it and posting it, perhaps they get a reminder. Thanks Allison!
Alison,
I love “The Wolf Who Cried Boy”!! I think it is so important for the kids to explain their thinking rather than just use adjectives to describe the characters.

Alison,
I love your new design! It’s so fresh and colorful…it makes me wish spring was here. 🙂
The Boy Who Cried Wolf is perfect for character traits! Your bulletin board idea is so clever, and I love the character traits list and practice stories that you’ve compiled! Thanks so much for linking up!

Alison – I really like this. Always did these kinds of activities to encourage kids to form their own opinions and thoughts regarding character development. Enables them to begin to look for clues when determining the character traits in those around them.

The New Yorker, July 14, 1975 P. 75
Thailand has a historic ability to adjust to any situation and change policies to suit prevailing foreign & domestic pressures. It is now faced with a combination of internal political dissension, economic strife, ever-increasing Communist insurgency in various parts of the country, & the need to adjust to new foreign & diplomatic dispensations, and sooner or later the Thais are going to have to accept the fact that they can no longer please all sides. This is a result of reduced American involvement in Southeast Asia, new Communist regimes in Vietnam, Cambodia, and Laos, the creation of a new democratic system to replace the long entrenched military dictatorship that was overthrown in 1973. The Thais would like continued economic and military assistance from America, but at the same time don't want to offend their new Communist neighbors. Their fears & frustrations are understandable and are not diminished by the subtle power game being played out among the Soviet Union, China, the U.S. & the newly emerging Vietnam, and Japan's growing economic role in the area. Writer discusses these problems in detail, including the Mayaguez incident, student activists, social & economic inequities, the isolation, both political and psychological, of Bangkok from the rest of the country. |

Well Showtime went ahead and kicked it up to the next level by releasing a couple of clips featuring everybody's favorite human butcher Dexter. The trailers have pretty much given away that this season will focus on Dexter's struggle to be both a good father and a good murderer so I don't think the clips give away too much, but don't say I didn't warn you.
The fourth season of "Dexter" premiers Sunday September 27th on Showtime. Get pumped people! |
Bluestone created a new website to showcase Open Air Dairy’s company history, products and unique large scale farming methods.
To enhance their credibility, build brand awareness and tell their story in a professional and visually appealing way.
This was vital ahead of presenting their product to retailers and to strengthen their online presence and increase brand awareness as well as their integrity.
Based on the requirements, a functional specification document and site map was developed. The branding was based on the current look and feel of the logo and extending this to work across online platforms also.

High Fiber Foods That Are Easy to Digest
Overview
Dietary fibers are the indigestible parts of plants that reduce cholesterol levels by absorbing cholesterol in your intestines. Fiber also slows down nutrient absorption to prevent high glucose levels, provides bulk in your feces to prevent constipation, and provides satiety so you do not overeat. Adequate fiber intake prevents heart disease, diabetes, and many types of cancers, including breast, prostate, colon, and skin. The Mayo Clinic recommends that you eat between 25 to 35 grams of fiber per day.
Whole Grain Breads, Pastas and Rice
This food group contains large amounts of insoluble fiber as well as different B-vitamins. Insoluble fiber provides bulk in your feces and maintains pH balance in your intestines to prevent abdominal cramps and colon cancer. Whole grain foods are unprocessed and contain most of their original vitamins, minerals and fiber contents. Former nutrition professor Gordon Wardlaw of Ohio State University recommends that you consume two to three servings of whole grains per meal. One cup of brown rice contains 7 grams of fiber, and two slices of whole wheat bread contains 4 grams of fiber.
Fruits and Vegetables
Fruits and most tuberous and root vegetables contain mostly soluble fiber in the flesh and insoluble fibers in the skin. Soluble fiber dissolves in water and becomes a viscous pulp that slows down glucose and nutrient absorption into your intestines. These foods are low in calories, rich in vitamins and antioxidants, and more economic than animal-based foods. One cup of raspberries contains 8 grams of fiber, while one medium banana contains 3 grams of fiber. One medium potato contain 3 grams of fiber, and one cup of cooked broccoli contain 5 grams of fiber.
Legumes
Legumes include nuts, seeds, beans, lentils and peas that are rich in carbohydrates, unsaturated fats and protein. According to the Mayo Clinic, they have the highest amount of fiber per serving in any food group. One cup of cooked lentils or black beans contain 15.6 grams of fiber, and two ounces of almonds contain 7 grams of fiber. You can add nuts and seeds to cakes, yogurts, or ice-creams to increase your fiber intake or substitute them with candy or cookies as snacks.

A street light was found to have been built into a tree's branches this week, leaving residents baffled.
Infrastructure company Balfour Beatty erected the street light on Maids Causeway, but residents soon discovered that the sodium lamp was covered by leaves.
Maureen Ashby, of Maids Causeway, said to the News: "Don't hide your light under a bush[el]. Cambridge planners, ever a modest lot, seem unaware of this proverb.
"Perhaps next time the planners plant new street lights they should lift their eyes briefly towards the heavens. Or is it some devilish scheme to keep us in the dark?"
Cambridgeshire County Council and Balfour Beatty started their 25-year street lighting partnership in July 2011.
The first five years of the partnership involve the upgrade of the county council's street lights using the latest technology.
However, the company came under scrutiny after other street lights were planted in places that made them unusable.
"It's plainly stupid if they haven't looked at where the trees are," said John Lawton, chairman of the Brunswick and North Kite Residents' Association. "They need to think about what they're doing more.
"I just hope we don't enter a situation where they try to trim our trees.
"The other part is that I'm surprised they've been using sodium lamps, instead of the more modern whiter light."
A Balfour Beatty spokesperson said: "Balfour Beatty Living Places is aware of the issue and plans are now in place to move the column three metres to the left.
"We are confident that this will ensure that this will keep the lighting class in compliance. We apologise for any inconvenience caused and hope to have this matter resolved as quickly as possible." |
At least three people died after torrential rains which fell over the Rome area during the weekend.
Short Summary
Description
At least three people died after torrential rains which fell over the Rome area during the weekend.
A man aged 22, and his young finance, died when their care was buried by a mudslide at Monterotondo, north of the capital, and a 49-year-old woman, died when her car was swept into a canal by a landslide.
The river Tiber had risen by more than five meters (16 feet) in a few hours on Monday (16 February) as a result of the weekend rains.
Meteorological officials said that more than four centimetres 1.5 inches (4 centimetres) of rain had fallen on the city since Saturday. The figure is about the same as the average for the whole month.
Scum covered water lapped lower window ledges of buildings on Tiber island, in the centre of Rome and the makeshift homes of hundreds of shanty town dwellers in Rome's Fossa San Agnese area were flooded by the deluge.
Large areas of Italy were affected by rain and snow, causing road and rail chaos throughout the country.

Common Name: Black Locust, Yellow Locust, Locust Tree, Robinia, False Acacia – The name locust tree is attributed to the religious sects that immigrated to North America in the 17th Century. According to the Bible, John the Baptist ate locusts and wild honey (Matthew 3:4). The “locusts” are believed to have been pods of the Carob tree, a member of the legume or pea family indigenous to the Middle East. Since the Locust tree resembles the Carob tree, its name reflects the biblical reference. The Carob tree is also called Saint John’s Bread, and, ironically, Locust tree.
Scientific Name: Robinia pseudoacacia – The genus is named for Jean Robin, the herbalist of the King Henri IV of France who introduced the tree to the Jardin des Plantes in Paris. The species name means “false acacia” which also reflects the similarity in the appearance with the Acacia tree, also a member of the legume or pea family.
Potpourri: The black locust is indigenous to the lower slopes of the Southern Appalachian Mountains. It has hard, strong, handsome dark brown wood that is virtually impervious to fungal decay. The longevity of locust wood is an article of faith in the lore and legend of agrarian society; locust fence posts reportedly lasting for over one hundred years and pioneer homes with locust corner posts still standing. It was used in
virtually any application calling for high strength and durability, notably tool handles, dowels and pins to fasten the planks to the ribs of wooden ships, hubs for wagon wheels, and gates. Due to its resistance to decay, it was also used as an alternative to teakwood for ship decking, paneling and floorboards. The aesthetic appearance of the wood led to its use in furniture, notably tabletops and music cabinets. However, the quality of Locust tree wood is dependent on a number of environmental conditions. When grown in poor soils, the wood is harder and denser due the slower growth relative to faster growing trees in fertile soils, which tend to be brittle. Forest grown Locust trees produce straight, limbless trunks; those grown in the open tend to be crooked and forked.
Since Black Locust is a legume, it has specialized bacteria living in swellings called root nodules. These bacteria reduce free nitrogen from the air to produce ammonia, which is “fixed” in the soil, and which can then be used by other crops to improve their yield. The robust root structure rapidly spreads from an original parent tree to produce groves of clones through the process of root suckering. This led to its promotion by state and federal agencies as a means of erosion control, particularly in areas of coal strip mine reclamation. It is considered a threat to vegetation outside its native range due to its aggressive, rapid growth. It is difficult to control because trying to eradicate it by plowing or digging so as to damage the roots only serves to further accelerate the growth.
Because of its many attributes, the Locust tree has been spread by the conscious actions of good-intentioned arborists throughout the world. It was one of the first New World trees to be exported to Europe, entering England in the 1630’s. Ebenezer Jessup proposed that ten thousand acres of Locust trees be planted for the British Navy in 1791. In the early 1800’s William Corbett, the author of The English Gardener, promoted the Locust tree, predicting that it would eventually replace all hardwoods in Britain. He established nurseries that sold the trees at inflated prices. However, the zeal abated when the resultant trees were found to be excessively brittle and forked, probably due to the environmental factors of soil condition and tree density. The Locust tree has been a great success as an introduced tree in Israel, China, the Himalayas and New Zealand. In Korea, it is used as a biomass source in fuel-wood plantations due to its rapid growth. A fifth of Hungary’s forests are planted with the Locust tree, predominantly a cultivar named “Shipmast Locust” that originated in New York.
The resistance of the Locust tree to decay is due to chemicals that it produces that are toxic to some forms of life, particularly insects and fungi. Some testing has been done to try to isolate these chemicals, for potential use as natural wood preservatives. High concentrations of a flavenoid called robinetin and a fungal growth inhibitor called taxifolin are thought to play a role. Ironically, parts of the locust tree are consumed as food by both humans and animals. Honey produced by bees from Locust tree nectar is considered among the finest in the world; the Robinia or Acacia Honey from the Danube River basin is of worldwide renown The seed pods are edible when cooked, and the flowers are used to make fritters and are added as a flavoring to pancake batter.. Locust leaves are used for animal fodder in the Himalayas and Bulgaria.
The toxicity of the Locust tree is also responsible for its historic use as a treatment for disease. The Cherokee Indians chewed the root bark to induce vomiting and to ameliorate the pain of a toothache. The flowers contain the glycoside robinin, which has been shown experimentally to act as a diuretic. A tea made from the flowers was used to treat everything from headache to nausea. Juice from the leaves purportedly inhibited viruses. |

I saw the link to this story on another blog and thought I would include the link and the text. Bob Hope is one of my favorite comedians and his movies are timeless. What follows is a really nice article about his upcoming birthday with remarks from friends and celebrity admirers. It was lifted from the Voice Of America web site.

Hollywood Legend Bob Hope, Honored and Celebrated
Mike O'Sullivan
Los Angeles
16 Apr 2003, 12:47 UTC
The legendary entertainer Bob Hope will turn 100 next month, and friends and fans gathered in Hollywood Tuesday to celebrate his career. The comedian was named Hollywood's "Citizen of the Century" for his work as an entertainer, and his work entertaining U.S. troops overseas.
Bob Hope has been making people laugh since 1909, when the six-year-old immigrant from England mimicked comedian Charlie Chaplin in front of a Cleveland firehouse. As a teenager, he entered talent contests, where he honed his skills as a song-and-dance man. He went on to the Broadway stage, where he found his calling as a comic, and later gained fame on radio, in movies and television.
To mark his 100th birthday, friends and admirers gathered on Hollywood Boulevard to recall his career. Bob Hope has already received four plaques on Hollywood's Walk of Fame, and this time received another proclaiming him "Citizen of the Century"
The entertainer is frail and did not attend, but many who know him did. Comedienne Phyllis Diller is a friend who sometimes worked with him on television and in movies.
"We are all indebted to this wonderful man whose body of work will never be touched - 200 movies, 60 years in television, all the way back to vaudeville. What a guy, what a guy. And he's lived to be a century old, and any honor isn't big enough for him," she said.
Phyllis Diller was part of Bob Hope's troupe of entertainers who travelled to southeast Asia during the Vietnam War to boost the morale of U.S. troops. That was an annual Christmas tradition begun in the Second World War, which continued through wartime and peacetime for nearly six decades. Bob Hope's last trip overseas was at Christmas, 1990, when he entertained the troops of Operation Desert Storm stationed in Saudi Arabia.
Comedian Kelsey Grammer said he attended the tribute because of Bob Hope's work in bringing the country laughter. "And for my own sense of admiration that he did the job so well, laughter that has helped us through some very difficult days and has helped us to relish the good ones. Bob Hope's contribution to this country and to our society is invaluable," Mr. Grammer said.
Actress Eva Marie Saint is one of many performers who has appeared with Bob Hope on the screen, most notably in the 1956 film That Certain Feeling. An admirer of his comedy skills, she said his work in cheering the troops is what was really important.
"And through this war of late, I thought what those boys really need is Bob Hope. Happy Birthday, Bob," Ms. Saint said.
Dennis Miller is a popular comedian who has never met Bob Hope but has admired him since his childhood. He recalled Bob Hope's theme song, Thanks for the Memory.
"I want to thank Mr. Hope for the memories. I know he'll be here in 2103. I hope the rest of us are, so that we can sing his praises once again," Mr. Miller said.
The U.S. Congress has honored Bob Hope five times, including once when it named him an honorary veteran of the U.S. military. He is the only person in history given that tribute. He has also received an honorary British knighthood.
The NBC television network will offer its own tribute later this month with a two-hour special called 100 years of Hope and Humor. Bob Hope will turn 100 May 29. |
EFCC Press Release: EFCC Re- Arraigns Walter Wagbatsoma, Four Others For Subsidy Scam

Hafdis Huld is an Icelandic singer with an international fan-base in over 65 countries. Her songs have more than 11.5 million Spotify streams, are on numerous compilations and advertising campaigns across Europe. She’s had several number 1 singles and albums in her home country, a remix that went to number 1 on the HypeM remix chart, and she’s a regular guest vocalist for other artists. Her tours sell out and her online gigs from her front room clock up thousands of views. She recently completed her first live tour of China.
Changing her look to match the different moods of her seven albums is second nature. Despite, or perhaps because of this,?”
“Love her – she’s an Icelandic Cerys Matthews” Steve Lamacq, BBC 6 Music
Hafdis was born in Reykjavik, Iceland. From the age of 15 onward she toured and recorded with the iconic Icelandic electro-collective. She was a featured vocalist on Tricky´s 2008 album ‘Knowle West Boy’.
“Sweetly melancholic folk.” The Guardian
Hafdis Huld’s fifth studio album ‘Variations’, is a collection of her own versions of songs by other artists. Consistently different, she and producer Alisdair Wright devised simple arrangements that focus attention on the lyrics, often revealing stories with surprisingly dark and twisted undercurrents beneath the smooth surfaces.
In another twist, tracks will be digitally released, two at a time between 1st February and 26th April, building into a full album. With typical consideration for her fan-base, members of Hafdis’ mailing list were able to buy pre-release copies of the physical album two months before the digital releases began.
Fearless covers of power ballad giants Dolly Parton, Tina Turner, Queen and Whitney Houston sit remarkably comfortably alongside more eclectic choices. Unexpected songs from The Divine Comedy and Loudon Wainwright III, songwriters’ songwriter Boo Hewerdine and the Walrus of Love himself, Barry White, serve to underscore the fact that Hafdis loves to shake things up.
She explains: “Stories are what interest me and each one of these has a great story to tell. When you’re not distracted by musical fireworks, a surprisingly different message can emerge from the lyrics.”
Live Shows
Her superb live show blends songs with entertaining chat and anecdotes, all delivered with enormous charm, humour and comedic timing. International festival performances include Glastonbury, The Secret Garden Festival, The Big Chill, Camden Crawl and JaJaJa in the UK, Hultsfred in Sweden, By:Larm in Norway, Iceland Airwaves, Spot Festival in Denmark, Les Femmes S’en Melent and Europavox in France and The Midnight Sun Festival in the Czech Republic. She has toured with artists such as Paolo Nutini , Mika, Eg White, Vincent Vincent & the Villains and Baby Bird.
Hafdis has appeared on numerous UK radio shows including national shows:
BBC Radio 2 – Mark Radcliffe & Jeremy Vine
BBC 6 Music – Radcliffe & Maconie, Steve Lamacq, Chris Hawkins, Jon Holmes, Marc Riley, Lauren Laverne & Phil Jupitus
BBC Radio 4 – Loose Ends.
BBC Radio 3 – documentary on Icelandic Christmas customs
BBC Radio 5 Live – cultural round-up
She is a frequent guest on Icelandic TV and radio
“I love her!” Jon Holmes, BBC 6Music

OK, ordered! Actually, I gave my younger daughter cash, and had her order it; that way I’ll be sure to have it count toward my commission!
And, amazon.com doesn’t collect sales tax! That’s another 6% I saved!
Cool – he can join Radovan Karadzic in the elite club of people who are both authors and war criminals.
Let’s not forget this the a guy who said “I’ve now been in 57 states — I think one left to go.” –at a campaign event in Beaverton, Oregon. If snuffing Bin Laden and passing a healthcare program (that 70% of Americans hate) are the only things worth running on… How can Clinton not take a run at this guy?
American logic: liberating 50 million people = a good thing.
New Zealand logic: liberating 50 million people = war crimes.
No wonder they’re on the bottom of the world.
Please tell me when Cheney was convicted as a “war criminal”. Or is that term just thrown about by fools like you to voice objection to other people’s views? Because the last I heard one needed to be actually convicted of a crime to be a criminal. Perhaps under your leftist philosophy just saying it makes it so? Hence the way your fellow leftists managed to murder 100 million people in the last century.
American logic: liberating 50 million people = a good thing.
New Zealand logic: liberating 50 million people = war crimes.
W1ngnut logic: murdering people based on a lie = liberation.
Was it our business to get involved in a civil war in Iraq?
Was the case made honestly and honorably by Cheney/Bush for their preemptive war of aggression on a sovereign nation?
What has the cost been in American lives and Iraqi lives, and injuries on both sides?
What has the cost been in property and infra-structure damage?
What has been the cost to us re our deficits and national debt? Was it worth it?
What will happen in Iraq when we leave?
Same questions for Afghanistan!
And yes, of course, we are guilty of war crimes, and Cheney himself is one of the major perps!
Ask yourself about war crimes had a foreign nation invaded us during our Civil War!!!
Let’s be totally honest about this folks. No more arrogant American posturing allowed!
Bottom line: The late OBL has won, as we have degenerated morally and financially from the day of his attack on 9/11, and, our polarized government is dysfunctional! Never mind that we finally got him.

Bottom line: The late OBL has won, as we have degenerated morally and financially from the day of his attack on 9/11, and, our polarized government is dysfunctional! Never mind that we finally got him.
Progressives have such a short memory. The Government had issues long before UBL showed up and Progressives blamed Bush for everything after the election in 2000 up to now. For 2 days after 9/11 the country was united, then the Bush Conspiracy theorists started by 9/12/01 and it’s been ongoing since. And the Progressives in the form of Clinton had UBL handed to him and he said no. So, play in your fantasy world of the Right is to blame for all the ills of the country. Just look at the record set by BO. His deficit is more now in 2 years and 7 months than Bush in EIGHT YEARS, 1/3 of the time. But as I said, Progressives have no long term, and short term memory.
What a laugh. Just don’t ask Perry about his SUPPORT for US interventions in Bosnia/Kosovo and most recently, Libya. He was in FAVOR of those intterventions … why? Even Wesley Clark admitted the former was most likely illegal. Therefore, Bill Clinton is likewise a war criminal.
Perry a hypocrite — no surprise at all, there.
comment in mod … no idea why …
Yorkshire, you didn’t respond to my post, a series of questions for which you made no attempt to answer; instead, you initiated your own rant and blame game – it’s all the Progressives fault. The Progressives were not in power when most of the damage was done, so who is to blame, Yorkshire, truthfully?
Perry asked:
Those who want a weak America, those who are embarrassed by our wealth and our power, and who would see other cultures as somehow equally valid and equally right, even if they lead to oppression and poverty. In short, those who today call themselves “progressives.”
The damage really started when the Democrats left the reservation, ceased being strongly pro-American in their foreign policy views, and went all weak-kneed and wimpy during the Vietnam War. The assassination of President Kennedy was probably the greatest tragedy which ever struck the Democratic Party, because that was what really led to the downfall of the strong Democrats, and led to the rise of the wimpy ones.
I can just picture Barack Obama, had he been President in October of 1962, saying, “Well, you know, Cuba is a sovereign country, and if they really want to host Soviet missiles there, there nothing we can do about it.”
“The Progressives were not in power when most of the damage was done…”
What? Where the hell have you been? The progressives have been in power since Woodrow Wilson for crap sake. You mean Nancy Pelosi, Barney Frank, Chris Dood, Harry Ried and the rest of the tax/spend/print and borrow crowd haven’t been in power for decades? If you’re trying to say “Democrats” haven’t always been in the White House I would agree. But whether Democrat or Rpublican, progressives have their finger prints all over everything. That’s why I can’t figure out why you hate Bush so much. With his No Child Left Behind and Medicare Part D and what not he was as far from a conservative as his goofy old man was. Hell, the most moderate President in the last twenty years was Clinton. That’s the problem with you lefties. You’re so deep into your ideology that if anyone takes one step off your reservation you start screeching “radical”. Believe in Christ? You’re a radical. Agree with States Rights, you’re a radical. Respect the free market, again a radical. Think that perhaps there is another solution to any given problem other than more government, then you’re an over-the-top radical.
WikiLeaks Show WMD Hunt Continued in Iraq – With Surprising Results
By Noah Shachtman are hundreds of references to chemical and biological weapons. Most of those are intelligence reports or initial suspicions of WMD that don’t pan out. In July 2004, for example, U.S..
You really believe that now, don’t you Dana?
I can only speak for myself, that your assumptions are totally wrong. I also do not believe they are correct for “Progressives”.
Moreover, I note that you brushed by the questions I listed. I suspect that you know very well that those policies do not represent the moral high ground. But you approve of these actions, because to you might makes right. Then it follows for you to reason that those with views like mine are not pro-American.
And on “oppression and poverty”, let us continue to work that out of our own system, in spite of those, like yourself, who wear blinders, while having no concern that the wealth of this nation continues to move to an elite few percent. This latter fact, a national disgrace, Dana, accounts for much of the “oppression and poverty” that continues to grow as we speak. Having said that, I understand that I am speaking to a lump of lead!
The Government had issues long before UBL showed up and Progressives blamed Bush for everything after the election in 2000 up to now
The US wasn’t reviled worldwide for torture, detention without trial and an official policy of assassination.
In your cite, Yorkshire, this paragraph pretty well sums it up:
Moreover, the technology and supplies for biological and chemical warfare was supplied to Iraq by whom, Yorkshire? Hint: This happened during the Iran-Iraq war.
And your overall point, Yorkshire, is what?
And your overall point, Yorkshire, is what?
Do you agree or disagree WMD’s were found or not. The meme is ZERO were found.
Hoagie noted:
It is a common theme of our friends on the left to want to criminalize policy from right-thinking Americans. But not only has Mr Cheney not been convicted of war crimes, he hasn’t even been charged with any.
And as much as I believe that socialism is, itself, a crime against humanity, I would not try to put President Obama on trial for trying to impose socialism once his term is over. Of course, if he were to be charged with the crime against humanity of trying to impose socialism, the worst he’d get is a suspended sentence, since he’s been so ineffective at anything he’s tried.
Yes, it does appear that small quantities of biological/chemical weapons were found.
Does this now justify, in your mind, our invasion of Iraq, Yorkshire?
Where are the “right-thinking Americans”, Dana? I don’t see any on your side!
Based on our unprovoked attack on Iraq, a sovereign nation, the fact that war crimes were committed is quite obvious to the “right-thinking Americans” on this side of the aisle. Put the shoe on the other foot, in which we are attacked, then what would your position be on war crimes?
“Put the shoe on the other foot, in which we are attacked….”
The what on the other what? Are you out of your phuckin’ mind? You can either side with America or not. You choose NOT to! What does that make you? A patriot? I don’t think so. You really need a wake-up call, Perry. For some reason you side with every effin’ thing that is against the U.S. Why do you hate our country? And why don’t you explain the “progressive” points? Guess cause they’re not so progressive, but rather forcing other’s to bend to your will. Perhaps you should move to New Zealand. They seem to be of your mindset. We really don’t need any more anti-American Obomunists here.
Perry says:

“Do you agree or disagree WMD’s were found or not. The meme is ZERO were found.”
Yes, it does appear that small quantities of biological/chemical weapons were found.
Does this now justify, in your mind, our invasion of Iraq, Yorkshire?
The problem Saddam put himself into was acting as if he had WMD’s. He did this to keep everyone guessing, and it was mostlyaimed at Iran. Saddam’s fear is if he came out and said they were all destroyed and allowed the world to see and check, then he felt he lft himself open to the Iranians. This is what Saddam told the US investigator while in prison. He thought that carrying this charade out would keep Iran and the USA at bay from attacks. He guessed wrong.
“Does this now justify, in your mind, our invasion of Iraq, Yorkshire?”
I don’t know. If Iran handed off that “small amount” of biological weapons to terrorists and they killed YOUR family, would I be justified in killing them in reprisal? You know, your wife, children, grandchildren all dead by a “small amount” in the wrong hands. That’s why there are men like me who realize evil, understand the enemy and do our very best to kill them before they kill you or me.
There are entirely too many girly-men in this country. Stand the phuck up and fight for right, Perry. Don’t be afraid, being a real American can be LIBERATING.
BTW Perry, I loved your little commie cartoon. One in seven Americans are impovrished? Really? Prove it. How many people do you know who are impoverished? I don’t know any. I haven’t seen any. I’ve seen people who are poor but none “impoverished”. And if you know someone who is impoverished why don’t you DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT? What do you give to charity each year? How about your friend Pho? I’d bet I donate more in a month than the two of you have in ten years. Your solution to povery is to steal other people’s money. Mine is to DONATE my own money and my own time. I actually feed people who are poor, do you? I actually take poor people to the doctor’s office in my own car on my own time. How about you? And yes, when these folks need a fawcet fixed or a roof shingle repaired, my friend Cory and I go and do it. When was the last time you climed up on a poor person’s roof? Didn’t think so.
You leftists use the poor as “talking points” but never rise to the occasion of actually helping. They’re just a means to power for you guys.
You can either side with America or not. You choose NOT to!
Or you can side with it when it does good and criticise it when it does bad.
W1ngnuts “love” America the same way a two-year old loves their mommy.
Just so you know Perry, yesterday Cory, Roy and I spent four hours at an elderly (poor) ladie’s house repairing her electricity. Now Cory ain’t rich but he’s okay. Roy is as poor as a churchmouse but still has time to help another (yes, he’s a poor conservative) and I was just there because what I lack in talent I make up in the fact I’m the one with the Home Depot credit card.
What have you done lately to help the “impoverished”?
“W1ngnuts “love” America the same way a two-year old loves their mommy.”
Spoken like a two year old! I would have not expected more from you.
I assume you believe two year olds don’t love their mommy? Why?
I’m sure you love your mommy, hell she lets you live in her basement.
Tell me Pho, when has America ever done good in your view? Just give me one instance.
You are such a phucking liar I can’t believe anything you say. You hate us and our country yet you come up with your “when it does good or when it does bad” shit. You’re long on words but very, very short on character. Pathetic!
Congratulations for making an even bigger fool.
Congratulations for making an even bigger f0ol.
Wanna rethink what you’re implying, Perry? Or, like your ridiculous hypocrisy on just about everything, will you just ignore it and keep making things up?
Sorry, Hoagie-John, I cannot deal with you on this level of personal vilification which you have chosen to use. You have your philosophy and have made your choices, I mine, some of which I express on here. With you, I am going to leave it at that, as I do not feel the need to defend myself against your assumptions and baseless allegations about me.
“Hi, Pot. I’m Kettle.”
Hube, your reference gives information on “International Arms Transfers” for the 1973 to 1990 time period. I was specifically referring to chemical/biological weapons.
Consider this:
You can read the rest of the article yourself.
Here is a documented study of this issue.
Moreover, a Google search provides plenty of documentation on this issue.
You might want to do a little research before accusing people of “making things up”, as it makes you look a bit foolish, Hube!
I should have known you were quoting someone else. You’ve never had an origional thought here yet. And please, Al Frankin is now your idea of a great and quotable genius? Honestly, how do you dig up all the rubbish you post here? You can’t have a real job and spend so much time trolling the internet all over the world. And what happened to Voltaire? You’ve sunk to Al Franken levels?
I have. I never said nor implied the US did not provide any weapons/technology/support for the period in question, therefore your links are moot. Indeed, the US had Iran as one of its main enemies from 1979 throughout the 80s, so of course we’re going to support regimes hostile to it. Again, the point is, you earlier implied that the WMD we were actively searching for was exclusively of US origin. Your links, nor your assertions, are FAR from proven, especially given the graph I provided.
I should have known
Don’t worry about it. By now, everyone knows that knowing sh1t about anything is your default state of being.
And speaking about knowing sh1t, remember when Dana was saying that the best response to teh auto crisis was to let teh companies collapse?
Yeah, about that…

“Put the shoe on the other foot, in which we are attacked….”
The what on the other what? Are you out of your phuckin’ mind? You can either side with America or not.
++++++++++++++++++++++
?? I imagine the unwritten end of that last sentence to be “… America or not, right or wrong.”
But what kind of America would that be? Who signed up for that?
I don’t side with America when she violates her own rules and promises. What sort of person does that?
The premise of this thread seems to be … we weren’t technically completely 100% wrong about WMD in Iraq, because we found some scraps of those antique weapons?
“I don’t side with America when she violates her own rules and promises. What sort of person does that? ”
A loyal one. No person and no nation need only fair weather friends. First of all no person and no nation is always 100% correct. And just because they may be wrong or make a bad decision is no reason to throw them under the bus. You’re sounding like Pho. If America is wrong about anything then the whole experiment is flawed. Well, I don’t believe that.
A loyal one
A moron.
Who gets remembered as teh good ones today – the Germans who gave the Third Reich their unflinching loyalty, or those who spoke out and opposed it? The Russians who were good little Communists in thought and deed, or those who criticised the USSR?
Who on here said that, Hoagie-John?
You have no point if you make something up, or assume something of someone here, then criticize the person on what you made up or assume. You do a lot of that on here! Want examples?
Hoagie wrote:
Which is why we loyal and patriotic citizens attempt to change bad decisions, like ObaminableCare, rather than threaten — as if we would have felt the loss — like Alec Baldwin and others to emigrate if george Bush won the 2000 election.
Our country is not always right; we did, after all, elect Barack Obama to be our 44th President. We are working hard, as free citizens with a vote, to change that in 2012.
Gee, Hoagie, you seem to have edited your original comment dated 26 August 2011 at 15:43.

Churchill's Sarah Dunn earns HTL Athlete of Week honors
Sarah Dunn’s power attack helped Livonia Churchill defeat Salem last week in the first KLAA volleyball game for the Chargers, and she had enough momentum to win Hometown Life Prep Athlete of the Week honors for the Aug. 27 to Sept. 1 period.
Dunn, a sophomore outside hitter, built a healthy lead on Tuesday over Bloomfield Hills Marian volleyball player Lauren Wenzel and never was threatened into Wednesday – despite a late push by Canton football player Colin Troup.
In the final tabulation, Dunn tallied 7,590 votes (36.5 percent) while Troup roared into second place with 6,030 votes (29 percent). Wenzel placed third with 5,357 votes (25.75 percent).
“I never thought I would have been nominated yet have won but I am very happy to compete with these other athletes,” said Dunn in an email to Hometownlife.
Against the Rocks on Aug. 29, Dunn led Churchill’s win with 21 kills and 19 digs.
"I just went out there and played my game and did what I needed to do and good things happened,” said Dunn, about the performance.
Her older sister, Anabelle, also is on the Churchill volleyball team and led the cheers on social media during the voting period.
“I think she will be proud of me,” Sarah Dunn said.

Tonight, Saddam Hussein was killed by hanging in Baghdad, Iraq.
A media show was built around the killing by the US occupiers and their allies.
Not coincidentally, the execution was at about the same time as the 3,000th US soldier dying in Iraq, to take away people’s attention from that sad milestone.
Some points:
For instance, Saddam’s 1980s crimes against Kurds in northern Iraq, partly committed with poison gas made in the USA of his then allies, were not investigated.
He was now only sentenced for the 100+ deaths in Dujail; the results of a show trial, in many respects like his own trial.
The nazi criminals in 1945 in Nuremberg, whose crimes were far worse, got a fair trial.
Unlike with Saddam’s trial, their lawyers were not murdered.
Judges which governments may not have liked, were then not dismissed; etc.
People like Rumsfeld, Bush, and Blair deserve a trial like in Nuremberg; not like in the Green Zone of Baghdad.
Like Saddam Hussein’s fall did not stop the torture in Abu Ghraib jail, quite to the contrary.
Like Saddam Hussein’s arrest did not stop the war, quite to the contrary.
As Saddam was hanged, US soldiers kept dying. …
A 29-year-old ex-soldier who had served 12 months in Afghanistan, upset over orders to deploy to Iraq, was shot to death [by police] December 26 after a night-long standoff at a house in Maryland [USA].
James E. Dean was notified earlier this month to report to Fort Benning, Georgia, on January 14, 2007, for service in Iraq.

Whatever evil Saddam Hussein did, his trial and soon-to-occur execution
were and are a farce, both of which have been timed for maximum domestic
political effect here, not in Iraq.
The trial verdict was timed for the November election and the hanging is
timed so Bush can brag — yes, brag — about it at the State of the
Union address.
I am sure Bush imagines his ____ will grow an inch longer once he has
seen to Saddam Hussein’s hanging. Boy, is he ever in for a surprise.
BTW, have you ever noticed how much Bush has adopted the bow-legged walk
of actual cowboys? That’s pretty hilarious since Bush is AFRAID to get
up on, much less ride, a horse.
Bush is a wuss, a wimp, and a scaredy cat.
What a loser.
I am sure Bush thinks that whoever masterminds the most deaths wins the
macho award.
That’s what irritates him so much about Saddam Hussein, who also killed
a lot of people. Bush has to hurry to catch up.
I agree with the sentiments expressed in this column.

Saddam Execution Set to Destabilise Iraq Further
*Inter Press Service*
Dahr Jamail and Ali al-Fadhily
.
Saddam was convicted last month for ordering the killing of 148 Shias in Dujail town in 1982 in revenge for an assassination attempt against him. He was sentenced to death by hanging.
The completion of the nine-month trial that saw 39 court sessions, through which three defence lawyers and a witness were murdered, will most likely inflame Iraq’s political divide further.
Hashim al-Ubaydi’s son was sentenced to death by a ‘revolution court’ of the Saddam regime. But he is not pleased to see that Saddam Hussein will be executed in the present circumstances.
“I was an opponent of Saddam and his policies, but I support putting him through a real national court away from occupation influence. I cannot forgive or forget that my son was executed, but as an Iraqi nationalist I cannot accept to see the president of my country put to trial in such a ridiculous way by invaders and their tails.”
Many Iraqi leaders say the timing of the trial and execution will enlarge the cracks between already divided Iraqis..”

Note from the Editors: This past Saturday, we were treated to the
lynching of Saddam Hussein; a 500-pound 24-carat gold coffin for James
Brown; and the circling of the wagon by a white gerontocracy (that once
supported Saddam, by the way) around ol’ Gerry Ford. The barbarity of Mr.
Hussein with a noose around his neck on the front page of the New York
Times and the Washington Post was well articulated by an appalled reader
of the paper of record: “Why don’t we just bring back the guillotine
while we’re at it, or better yet, borrow some jihadist’s sword and behead
him that way?” Children will undoubtedly have enjoyed the circus of crime
and punishment — and a video game is on the way, certainly to profits
galore. Old white (and all powerful) men, gold-plated opulence, and sheer
barbarity… Here’s to a New Year and a debased culture won over by
McDonald’s and Wal*Mart.

So far, 650,000 Iraqis have been killed in the war Bush brought to that
country.
I don’t think even the highest estimates of how many Iraqis Saddam
Hussein killed have reached that total.
First, we armed Saddam Hussein and then we hung him.
The urge to hang him as quickly as possible was motivated by a need
among the Bushites and Reaganites (Rumsfeld and Cheney among others) NOT
to give Saddam Hussein an opportunity to tell the world how involved two
American presidents, Reagan and the first Bush, were in helping to make
Saddam Hussein the durable strong man he was.
Corpses don’t tell tales.
If Saddam Hussein “had” to die because he killed so many people, how
come Bush and most of us are not the least bit interested in bringing to
justice the tribal leaders in Africa who are doing so much slaughtering?
Three thousand American soldiers have died in Iraq because Bush had a
PERSONAL animosity against Saddam Hussein.
And, of course, Bush never risked his own life to “get” Saddam Hussein,
just the lives of others.
Bush is a coward.
And, the worst part of all of this? Saddam Hussein’s trial and execution
will soon come to be viewed in the Arab world as one more crime against
Arabs by Americans.
Think of that: generations of young Arabs will want to extract revenge
against America for what we have done to Iraq and to an Arab leader.
That is how they will see it and remember it.
But, first and foremost, the speed of SH’s execution was to SILENCE the
man, so he could NOT reveal to the world the complicity of Reagan and
the first Bush in Saddam Hussein’s murderous reign.

Media Silent on Clark’s 9/11 Comments
Gen. says White House pushed Saddam link without evidence
6/20/03
Sunday morning talk shows like ABC’s This Week or Fox News Sunday often make news for days afterward. Since prominent government officials dominate the guest lists of the programs, it is not unusual for the Monday editions of major newspapers to report on interviews done by the Sunday chat shows.
But the June 15 edition of NBC’s Meet the Press was unusual for the buzz that it didn’t generate..
Here is a transcript of the exchange:.”
Clark’s assertion corroborates a little-noted CBS Evening News story that aired on September 4, 2002. As correspondent David Martin covering damaging revelations about the Bush administration’s intelligence on Iraq, yet still seem strangely reluctant to pursue stories suggesting that the flawed intelligence– and therefore the war– may have been a result of deliberate deception, rather than incompetence.
The public deserves a fuller accounting of this story. Ya think??

Bush Silences a Dangerous Witness

As John Burns wrote in The New York Times ….
As Saddam Hussein prepared to die, he started praying only to be
interrupted by shouts from the hooded executioners who were from a rival
religious group. At that point, the executioners shouted “God damn you
to hell,” and Saddam Hussein responded by saying, “God damn you to
hell.”
I am not so concerned about Saddam Hussein or how he died, but I am
concerned that about US and how WE comport ourselves in this life.
Surely the Nazis did as much or more evil than Saddam Hussein did, but
we nevertheless managed to complete their trials and executions with the
dispassionate competence we believe matters. The Nazis were all hung
with quiet efficiency by the American military — no prayers were
shouted at them and no “God damn you to hell”s were uttered. Mass
murderers, in America, like Timothy McVeigh, are allowed to go to their
deaths without the sort of unseemly stuff that went on at Hussein’s
execution.
This is about US and who WE are, and I would say that, under George W.
Bush’s leadership (and make NO mistake: he was in total control of who
executed SH, and when), America has once more soiled its own pants.
Saddam Hussein was going to his death quietly and it is we who disgraced
ourselves by letting Saddam Hussein’s political enemies try and then
hang him. It was, in the end, nothing more than a sham trial and a
revenge hanging — and it is OUR reputation in the world that got
another bad mark.
Bush can’t even do trials and executions with any professionalism or
competence.
And, make NO mistake, Saddam Hussein, who was tried for Crimes Against
Humanity, and SHOULD have been tried in the International Court in The
Hague, was NOT tried there because he would have revealed to the world
the complicity of the Reagan and first Bush administrations in his
ability to use gas and chemical warfare AND make his attempts — in the
1980s — to build nuclear weapons. Reagan, the first Bush, and Cheney
and Rumsfeld would have been exposed for the enablers they were, if
Saddam Hussein had ever been tried in the cool legal efficiency of the
international court.
So, Saddam Hussein HAD to be tried by rival Shiites and Kurds and then
hung by rival Shiites, all overseen by the second Bush, whose main goal
now is to protect the evil secrets of the Reagan and first Bush
presidencies.
In the end, THAT was what this was all about.

8th February 2017
Four trends to prepare for the future housing this year, including new garden towns and villages to provide 200,000 more homes, and thousands of new ‘quick-build’ homes promised by Secretary of State Sajid Javid, the core issues of supply and demand still remain.
A growing lack of affordable housing to rent or buy is now considered by many to be a national crisis, with confused or contradicting government policy making finding solutions ever more difficult. The challenge for housing providers is compounded by the fact that for every 1,000 council homes allocated each year, more than 3,000 people join the housing list.
The pressure is mounting and radical transformation is now required for social housing providers to cope with the financial demands placed upon them.
Our recent report, ‘The Changing Landscape for Social Housing’, was created in partnership with Solace and The Chartered Institute of Housing to highlight the increasing challenge housing organisations face during this period of significant social, financial and service change.
We developed the report using insights from roundtable discussions between local authority and housing association leaders, plus research which questioned a further 100 senior housing decision makers.
It drew attention to the struggles organisations face with current housing policy. It showed that over the next 12 months, social housing providers will be prioritising dealing with changing regulations and reforms (52%), safeguarding jobs (59%), cutting costs and driving efficiencies (57%) and improving customer service and satisfaction (57%).
We also identified four key characteristics of social housing tenants; distinctive trends to watch for in the future including:
1. Diversity and population growth
Our report found that 66% of social housing providers are now working with an increasingly ageing population, while 44% say tenants are becoming more linguistically and culturally diverse.
Alongside these changes, the sharp increase in costs of homes on the private rental and purchase market is adding to the housing crisis. This affordability gap means more and more young professionals and working families are accessing home-ownership through social housing providers. Right to Buy will also have an effect, with the Local Government Association predicting that 88,000 social homes will be lost via this scheme by 2020.
This growing demand for diminishing social housing stock, means housing providers must tackle how our social housing stock is replaced, built and also redesigned to meet needs.
2. Divided communities
While multiculturalism brings many benefits to society, it has also created some divisions among social housing tenants.
The UK’s decision to leave the European Union in last year’s referendum was taken by many as a vote of discontent from people who feel marginalised in our society. Today’s social housing providers now need to manage popular misconceptions that those people born outside of the UK are receiving preferential treatment when accessing social housing. With increased tension within communities as the British population continues to diversify, there is a risk that this perception will increase.
3. Data trust issues
While most of us are now happy to use our mobiles and online devices to make purchases, access online banking and further services, some consumers are still very cautious with data sharing and demand data security guarantees. There is strong mistrust among the general public regarding how the UK government use electoral role and personal data without their consent.
It’s now vital that social housing providers set about educating and building trust with tenants over data security. The industry needs to use information gained from tenant interactions more effectively, such as better evaluation of data to find and help those in the community who need further support.
4. Demand for mobile self-service
From the rapid growth of social media use among Generation Y to tenants demanding immediate access to services via the internet and mobile apps, customers now want to use and interact with public sector services which best suit their lifestyles. Social housing providers need to meet this demand and respond accordingly – offering easy access to all services online and quick results for customers.
But providers must also consider those ‘digitally excluded’ customers – our report found that just 38% of those aged 75 and over are internet users, while 25% of disabled adults have never accessed the internet.
In order to survive, the social housing industry must drive significant transformation within the next 12-18 months. The sector must take steps to confidently navigate this changing landscape and harness innovation. The secret to this success is strong leadership, supportive partnerships, key people and skills and detailed data. Major advances and improvement in services are often dependent on the best technology and automation; organisations will need a robust, technology-based approach and partners to support this.
A stronger understanding of the needs of the local population will reap dividends in the future.

Synopsis
Under the Silver Lake is a 2018 American neo-noir mystery film written, produced and directed by David Robert Mitchell. Set in Los Angeles, it stars Andrew Garfield as a young man who sets out on a quest to investigate the sudden disappearance of his neighbour (Riley Keough), only to stumble upon an elusive and dangerous large-scale conspiracy.
Sam is an affable but aimless young man with an interest in conspiracy theories and finding hidden messages in everyday popular culture, who lives a lazy, jobless life in Los Angeles. One day he meets and develops a crush on his new neighbour Sarah. She tells him to come back the next day, but when he does, she and her roommates all seemingly moved out during the night. Meanwhile, he becomes fascinated with a zine titled Under the Silver Lake, which features story elements reminiscent of recent real-life events such as a serial dog killer. After following a woman he spotted going through Sarah’s apartment, Sam starts following a chain of individuals and events in the hopes of finding information about Sarah, and starts believing he is being followed. However, he later identifies Sarah as one of the three women who died in a car fire alongside billionaire mogul Jefferson Sevence, recognizing one of the victims’ hat to be hers. After a conspiracy theorist friend of Sam, the author of the graphic novel, and obsessed with the back cover of an old cereal box is found dead from an apparent suicide, Sam learns from reviewing his friend’s security tapes that he was killed by the Owl’s Kiss, a womanly creature from Under the Silver Lake; he concludes that his friend’s death is related to the ongoing conspiracy.
By following a series of clues hidden in songs and historic monuments, Sam meets the “Homeless King”, a man who brings him to an underground bunker beneath Griffith Park leading into a supermarket. With the help of women he met through his investigation and who turned out to be connected, Sam finds the “Songwriter”, the man who wrote all the popular hit songs of the current and past generations. The songwriter confirms that all his songs, as well as most of pop culture, contain hidden messages; he claims that the messages are not for Sam and tries to shoot him, leading Sam to use his idol Kurt Cobain’s Fender Mustang to kill him by smashing his head. After sharing his findings with Sevence’s daughter Millicent, she gives him a bracelet with strange symbols that she found in her father’s office, which she believes to be connected to his disappearance; she is then shot dead in a pose strikingly similar to that of the cover of Sam’s favorite Playboy issue.
By combining the bracelet, the prize inside his friend’s old cereal box, and a The Legend of Zelda map featured in the first-ever issue of Nintendo Power, Sam is able to find a location that doesn’t show on web mapping where he finds a man and three women. The man reveals that through history a selected few wealthy men like himself choose to lock themselves into underground bunkers similar to the one Sam previously discovered in order for their souls to “ascend” to a new blissful realm of existence, taking three “wives” to go with them. He confirms that Sarah and her roommates were Jefferson Sevence’s wives, and that their deaths were faked in order for the four of them to ascend. Once they went inside their bunker, it was sealed and cannot be left, but as the process takes months and they can be contacted via videotelephony, Sam gets to talk with Sarah, who confirms that she entered the bunker on her own will. As Sarah leaving the bunker is not an option, the two share an emotional farewell and hang up.
