Rossetti, Dante Gabriel. Frontispiece to Christina Rossetti's Goblin Market and Other Poems. 1862. Public domain via Wikimedia Commons.
Stark criticism of society and the institution of marriage, blatant sexual imagery, and even homosexual relations: these aspects of Christina Rossetti’s “Goblin Market” would likely have been considered downright scandalous to an astute Victorian reader. Rossetti’s long poem, written in 1859 and first published in 1862, recounts the tale of two siblings. During their daily visits to a nearby stream, the sisters are pestered by a band of mischievous goblins. The dubious creatures attempt to peddle various kinds of fruit which serve as an especially alluring temptation for the young girls. When one of the sisters makes a misguided decision, the other must brave a traumatizing barrage in order to save her. Radical for the time period in which it was written, Christina Rossetti’s “Goblin Market” stands out as a literary masterwork and a singular example of the bildungsroman genre.
Christina Rossetti was born on December 5th, 1830 in London, England. Educated at home by her mother, Rossetti showed an immediate fondness for literature (Project Canterbury). She was particularly attracted to the works of British writers and spent much of her time as a youth reading works by authors such as John Keats (Aires). A devout Anglican, religion played an important role in Rossetti’s life. Her first suitor, James Collinson, ended the couple’s engagement after reverting to Roman Catholicism. Rossetti refused to marry her next two suitors also due to religious concerns. She suffered a nervous breakdown in 1844 and was plagued by bouts of depression throughout her life (Everett). Rossetti also penned well-renowned poems such as “Remember,” and “The Prince’s Progress.” She died on December 29th, 1894 at the age of 64 (Project Canterbury).
While Rossetti’s body of work as a whole is held in high esteem, “Goblin Market” is widely considered to be her magnum opus. Controversial for its social stances, the poem makes allusions to multiple aspects of Victorian society. Interpretations of its events vary among scholars, but underlying themes, such as the institution of marriage and sexuality, are evident to most readers.
The story begins with two young sisters, Laura and Lizzie, walking down to a creek to fetch water. By the stream, a group of goblin merchants inundates them with offers of fruit they are attempting to sell. Lizzie, the wiser of the two siblings, ignores the goblins’ pleas and implores Laura to do the same. However, the goblins’ enticements overcome Laura, causing her to trade a lock of her hair in exchange for some of the goblins’ fruit. This scene can be interpreted as Rossetti’s view of marriage during the Victorian era in England. The “goblin men,” as they are referred to in the poem, symbolize the male suitors of the English middle and upper classes. In Victorian England, social standards limited women to predominantly domestic roles. It was expected that a woman would marry once she came of age, provide her husband with children, and serve as the family’s homemaker. Rossetti’s inclusion of the goblins and their temptations parallel these Victorian customs. Laura and Lizzie are bombarded with offers of fruit, just as many Victorian women were subjected to offers of marriage. Rossetti’s stance on this issue can be inferred from “Goblin Market.” In the story, Laura is forced to surrender a lock of her hair in order to acquire the fruit. In Victorian England, women were required to exchange not their hair but instead their personal freedom and innocence in order to obtain matrimony. Laura’s experience mirrors this exchange. After tasting the fruit, it consumes her thoughts and life; she is no longer able to function independently.
Sexuality is also a contentious issue that Rossetti addresses in “Goblin Market.” When Lizzie confronts the goblins who harmed her sister, she is covered in fruit juice as the goblins angrily assault her. After enduring their attacks, Lizzie returns home to Laura and tells her to lick the juice from her body in order to be healed from her sickness. In a vividly described scene, Laura does so and is restored to health. Interpretations of this scene include notions of Christian allegory and children's literature, but one possible viewpoint construes it as a homosexual love affair. The Victorian era was marked by social conservatism, especially with regards to sexuality. Rossetti’s apparent advocacy of a lesbian relationship was unheard of in this period, igniting controversy among casual readers and critics alike (Rosenblum 66).
Sexual exploration and struggles with the limitations that accompany coming of age both solidify “Goblin Market” as a fitting example of a bildungsroman work. When read literally, the poem may not seem to fit the criteria of the genre. However, the metaphors Rossetti puts forward within the poem establish it as a bildungsroman piece. Laura and Lizzie’s tale serves as a symbol for the issues individuals face when transitioning from childhood to adulthood. Both sisters experience trials within “Goblin Market” which test their resolve and determination. Accordingly, “Goblin Market” is an exemplary (if somewhat atypical) bildungsroman work and a standout literary achievement from its time period.

I’m always looking for fresh cases, use of obscure tool features, and unique troubleshooting techniques, so please keep them coming. This time, I’m sharing a fascinating case that highlights two useful techniques: comparing Sysinternals Process Monitor logs from working and problematic systems, and using Sysinternals PsExec to capture activity during a logon.
The case begins when a systems administrator at a large company got multiple end-user complaints that logon was taking over three minutes. The users didn’t encounter any problems once logged on, but the delays were understandably frustrating. Many other users running with the same software configuration weren’t experiencing issues, however. Looking for commonalities, the administrator queried the network configuration database and, sure enough, saw that all the systems with complaints were Dell Precision 670 workstations. He thought he had a major clue until he looked he saw that the systems running without issue included seemingly identical 670 workstations.
The “-s” directs PsExec to launch the process in the Local System account, “–i” to connect the process with the interactive desktop so that its windows are visible, and “-d” to return immediately instead of waiting for the process to terminate. Note that if you have Fast User Switching enabled and you are not logged into session 0, do not log out, but instead switch users, login to the problematic account, and then switch back to the session from which you started PsExec.
David Solomon coined a phrase back before Process Monitor replaced Filemon and Regmon that still applies when updated: “When in doubt, run Process Monitor!” (I follow this advice religiously, even having my daughter run Process Monitor when she comes to me with a homework question). This case is a great example of that philosophy put into practice because it seems unlikely on the surface that Process Monitor would reveal the cause for a process hang, but the administrator turned to the tool nonetheless.
When troubleshooting a hang with Process Monitor, you should first see if there are any gaps in operation time stamps that match the hang duration. You can look for lengthy operations by adding the Duration column to the display and then making sure to filter out operations that commonly don’t immediately complete, like directory change notifications. That can be useful when you don’t see a significant time gap between operations because the process has multiple threads, some of which continue to operate while the one causing the hang is dormant.
The evidence clearly pointed at a hardware issue with the disks installed on a subset of the 670’s, so he gathered disk type data from all the 670’s, correlated them with the reports of slow logons, and found that all of the slow systems had Seagate disks and the others had Fujitsu disks.
His company was obviously not going to replace disks just to avoid an issue being caused by its own LoB application, so he had to figure out a workaround. He notified the Lisa_client development team of the issue, who reported that they could remove the command without loss of functionality, but that it would take at least several days for the update to go through their internal release process. Having a few days where system information wouldn’t be collected for a subset of systems was less important than end-user productivity, so in the meantime he wrote a WMI logon script to query the system disk and launch Lisa_client only if it wasn’t a Seagate model.
Without Process Monitor’s help he would have probably determined that the disks were the key hardware difference, but it’s not clear he would have discovered the root cause and been able to work around it rather than resort to replacing disks. This is yet another case solved with the help of Process Monitor and insightful detective work.
Go back to the session 0 desktop to look at the captured information and close the tool.
One last thing I want to leave you with is a reminder that I’ve documented many other troubleshooting cases in this blog and you can find them in the blog index here. You can also watch recordings of my Case of the Unexplained sessions from TechEd here and be sure to come to TechEd US this June in New Orleans, where I’ll be delivering it again with all new cases.
Thanks for interesting article! Seems relevant to my problem of random (but quite often) slow logons between 3 and 3,5 minutes on XP SP3 computers in a domain (No FUS).
However, like Chris and others I don’t understand how to make the monitoring tools to survive logoff!
So please tell us exactly; how do we open the Process Explorer / Process Monitor AFTER logoff/new logon with the information from the logogg /new logon process still intact???
Thanks for the feedback! I’m glad to hear the you find the blog interesting and useful.
@gkeramidas: "select a solid color for the desktop, in personalize/desktop ackgound/solid colors. logon time will go from 2 or 3 seconds to at least 30 seconds. choosing a picture will restore the 2 second logon time."
Thanks for the feedback. Sounds like you have an interesting case. One way to capture a procmon trace is to configure it to generate a log at next boot (options->enable boot logging).
It captures until you run the GUI or shut down the system.
Post the log somewhere so that others can take a look.
I’ve been trying to figure out why it’s taking my machine 5 minutes to logon off domain and quite a few more on domain. I have a very fast SSD 840 PRO which is doing 500+ megs a second.
I’ve tried following this blog but what got me was how he knew what was causing the slow down.
Here’s a pic of my processmon capture which shows anything that was longer than 2 seconds.
Any help understanding why in this case everything is going slow would be helpful.
temporary to see if that is also causing the problem.
Sounds like we may be experiencing different issues. As long as our laptops never hit the VPN, the logon times,while not lighting fast, are not significant. Once they connect VPN and come back to the physical domain connection, the first logon of the day is delayed. Subsequent logons during the same day are normal.
I ran ProcMon and Enabled Boot Logging on a laptop which had been off the physical network for approx. 10 days. During those 10 days, it connected via VPN. The ProcMon capture is approx. 900MB. I have applied a filter as suggested by Stephan on his Friday, January 22, 2010 12:38 AM posting. This takes the capture down to 7.6 MB. I have reviewed the capture over and over but I am not finding where the delay is residing. I was wondering if there is anywhere I can upload the filtered capture to be reviewed or if anyone can provide any suggestions of how to begin eliminating certains events.
Can you please provide a detailed description of the steps you’re following and are you using Fast User Switching (FUS – I updated the post to address FUS scenarios)?
i’ll let you know about another cause of slow logons in windows 7.
all you have to do is select a solid color for the desktop, in personalize/desktop backgound/solid colors.
logon time will go from 2 or 3 seconds to at least 30 seconds. choosing a picture will restore the 2 second logon time.
i took one of the pictures and edited it, making it a solid color, that’s how i got around the issue.
seems strange, but it’s completely reproducible.
Oh Mark Russinovich, where art thou..?
First, I’ve had slow logon problems on multiple computers, and this is the first time I’ve seen a truly helpful debugging process. The mere command line "psexec -sid" puts me in Nerdvana. Knowing that trick, I might have figured out the subsequent procexp and procmon steps, but it’s great to have it all laid out. Now I’ve got to go fix two friends’ laptops that take forever to log in!
BTW, every time your blog appears with a new post in my RSS reader, I eagerly give it my full attention. Every post is pure gold. Keep up the great work, Mark.
"psexec –sid c:sysintprocexp.exe" does not survive a logoff-logon on xp. What am I doing wrong?
Sad fact is Mark, was that I was a Vista TAP tester for that company, and I called out that the Lisa client was not Vista compatible.
(I was also the regional support guy for that tool as well).
"Vista compatibility is on the Lisa roadmap!" the dev team told me.
Looks like it never happened.
Yu’re the boss Mark. All your post are really great, I’m learning (and sure I will learn) a lot with this.
Excellent article!!!! Will use this to debug my logon delays at my PC.
1) From the command line, go to the folder where you have sysinternals suite extracted to.
5) what do I do next?? how do you view the data after logging back in.
@Dale: the problem was a bad interaction between their internal software and a particular brand of hard drives, on XP. Vista compatibility is utterly irrelevant.
I agree with ethanT above. Keep up the great work! Your stories and insight help hundreds, maybe thousands of IT folks around the world.
Mark, could these tools be used to troubleshoot another startup issue. I intermittently get a situation where after logging into the Win2k3 domain, the XP client will hang at "Applying personal settings." Can ping the PC from another PC and even check eventvwr remotely but never get the desktop proper. Only solution is the cold-boot and log in again which always works. Seems to occur on notebooks that connect to different networks.
MarkS — I’ve seen the hanging at applying personal settings too. After several weeks with MS Premier support we never got it resolved. We couldn’t get it to happen consistently enough to get a kernel dump or attach the kernel debugger.
Same problem as Pheel, Chris and Bluegene (WinXP SP2). When I log back in, no process explorer! Any thoughts?
Mark, you definitely should write posts more often. They’re fantastic!
And let me say that videos do not replace a good writing.
Sure. Thanks for the response. We don’t have FUS enabled. We have Windows XP SP2, connected to a domain. Running as a user with admin rights. The systems run Symantec EndPoint Protection 11.0.
5) Log back on as the same user. Look in Task Manager, and select "show processes from all users". Sort by System, don’t see procexp.exe, then sort by image name still don’t see it.
6) I’m not sure the steps we are supposed to follow after this any how. Does the GUI normally show back up? Do I need to launch procexp.exe manually?
Another excellent post. I also had an interesting experience with slow logons & file access. I’m typing it up & will send it to Mark. I’ll include it on my blog as well.
Excellent post as usual….I followed as many of your posts as possible regarding the utilization of procexp and procmon to troubleshoot slow logons and system hangs. Additionally, used netmon to attempt a trap of the logon events as well.
If time permits, please consider my quandry.
Windows 2003 domain…Windows XP SP2 and SP3 clients….we have experienced consistent slow logon with our laptop users for quite some time. My efforts to troubleshoot have identified a few items contributing but not the silver bullet. Our laptop users experience over 3 minute logons on the first logon of the day. The subsequent same day logons are not lightening fast, but considerably better than the first logon, usually by over a minute. I have done my best to use all the tools you have provided, as well as a few others…but to no resolve. Side note, the same units loaded with Vista and Windows 7 have less than 1 minute logon times.
The laptops are used in the office, then taken home and used offline and subsequently to connect via VPN. Then, when arriving back to the office, the first logon of the day takes over 3 minutes. Logging on to a usable desktop without being connected to the network generally takes around 30-45 seconds. No roaming profile, no logon scripts. We do utilize group policies and throughout testing I have removed group memberships and even denied the application of group policies to individual user and computer accounts during troubleshooting attempts. Identified 30 seconds of logon time is attributed to the fact each users has a Home Folder mapping via their user account to a Z: drive totheir local network share. Turning off the home folder increases logon time by approximating 30 seconds but I still remain with 2 1/2 minutes of logon time in the best case scenarios. The old and slower laptops generally fall into the 3 minute or more range without the home folder mapping.
As I am desperate, I am now trying to consider if there is a DNS issue with the laptop roaming between home and office networks.
Would truly appreciate your thoughts and/or recommmendation for resolving as this has been on my "unsolvable" plate for quite some time.
Is there any way to run ProcMon via a local script so I can capture the logon events on the first boot of the day?
I apologize…you are correct and I do recall having enabled boot logging in the past but it does not seem to be catching the source of the of the delay…does procmon capture everything past the CTRL+ALT+DELETE screen?
Again, thanks for the response…I have to admit, If I can’t figure this out by using the SysInternals tools and following your articles and methods….then I don’t feel like it can be figured out.
Perfect….I will take a unit home, connect vpn, disconnect vpn, enable boot logging, leave the unit on and bring it back to the office and connect to the domain to insure the unit exhibits the first logon of the day delayed logon behaviour and save the captured events and then post.
Anywhere specific you would recommend to post for review?
Very useful post Mark! Thanks for sharing these great troubleshooting lessons with us.
“Interactive services dialog detection” prompt. I was puzzled as I was following your instructions, but then I noticed that the ui0detect service was not yet running on my machine, once I started the ui0detect service the prompt appeared exactly as you stated.
A great post and a very useful troubleshooting method.
A take-away is that don’t try to fix a vendor’s application, see if you can get them to fix it once the issue is identified. That of course doesn’t prevent one from implementing a work-around in the meantime.
Is it possible to modifyreplace specific contents of a log file for security purposes?
I have a logfile to post for review but feel it is probably in my best interest to replace log entries containing our domain and company name with a generic name. I can export as a CSV but that removes the capability to utilize the ProcMon filtering of events.
Winlogon.exe at one point shows a duration of over 1589.
Thoughts on how I can determine what is happening?
The filter you applied only includes requests that take more than 30 seconds. The only requests that take so long are requests that block while waiting for something to happen, like NotifyChangeDirectory.
It is quite normal for a NotifyChangeDirectory to take a very long time – it actually just represents the time between modifications to the monitored directory.
To get a useful logfile you need to apply a different kind of filter. Try filtering on time of day so you only get events from the actual boot.
However, even with the very limited information you posted I see that you have MacAfee antivirus running. My psychic debugging powers tells me that the antivrus is probably the reason for the delay. I suspect that for some reason the antivrus is performing an antivirus scan (or perhaps an update) of the computer which causes the slow login.
Try uninstalling the antivirus and see if it helps. If it does, it is time to talk to MacAfee support.
To clarify – "psexec –sid app.exe" – only console applications will survive full logoff this way.
GUI apps still get terminated – Switch Users have to be used..
1. The actual boot time took over 26 minutes…from power on to usable desktop…knowing I couldn’t include a 3.7gb log, I decided to filter on anything whose duration took longer than 30 seconds. I guess I am misunderstanding what Duration really means….I assumed if something took 180 seconds duration to complete, then that would be way to long for any process.
2. Your debugging powers are correct about McAfee, it does wear on the logon process but I have previously removed it and tested but continue to have what I consider to be an extensive delay when a machine hits the network the first time of the day after having been offsite and using VPN. The second boot of the day is more "normal" considering all of the items we have going on. Example, first boot of the day(only after having been offsite using VPN), is around 4-5 minutes. Second, third, etc boots are around 2 minutes.
Let me get a first boot of the day log file and then filter it down and post it. Can you recommend how I can filter down everything that happens from CTRL ATL DEL to the point when it first displays the windows desktop?
Thanks in advance for the reply….the forum had over 80 reads…no replies.
May I also suggest that you look at the Process Activity Summary on the Tools menu. It shows you what processes where active at different points in time during the capture.
It should give you a good idea of what process was working for 20 minutes during your logon.
Thank you….let me follow your advice and I will let you know what I come up with.
Thanks again for following through with me on this….I have been searching for an answer for a very long time.
Another great post. Thank you!
Will you be coming to Dubai this March for TechED Middle-East?
Excellent post Mark, I have been experiencing this primarily on our XP SP3 clients connected to a 2003 TS Server. The time between the login and the actual desktop appearing on the screen is 10-15 minutes. How would Procmon be used on the TS Server to view processes from the TS users with delayed logins?
It looks like there is some confusion. The beginning of the article (including the command line) talks about procexp but the rest of the article is using procmon. Procmon has the ability to log and filter etc, procexp doesn’t.
I am a little confused. The problem appears to be related to a domain based logon issue, although this is not stipulated.
Perhaps I have missed something, but if a Windows XP system is "joined" to a windows domain, the ability for Fast User Switching is disabled and not accessible.
Can this be enabled, or is this procedure only applicable to systems configured in a workgroup and not a domain?
Otherwise an excellent article and application of these excellent utilities.
OK so this is good for capturing info when logging ON but I’ve currently got a user with a problem logging OFF – each time they try to log off or shut down the system gets as far as the "Logging Off" stage and never gets any further. It doesnt crash or freeze, just sits there on Logging Off forever (Windows XP, SP3). It even happens in Safe Mode!
So I’m thinking I can use this trick of running Process Monitor under the Local System account and have it log activity during the log off, to try to get some more information. However I have just tested this on a virtual XP workstation and simulated the problem by just stopping the VM when it gets to the Logging Off stage (as we have to just power the laptop off and reboot it once it has got stuck on Logging Off) but when I boot the VM back up to look at the Process Monitor log file I cant open the file because it says "The file xxxxx.PML was not closed cleanly during capture and is corrupt". Is there any way I can view the captured information or any better way of doing this? One alternative I am considering is using Process Explorer’s ‘Replace Task Manager’ option and then trying to start that when the machine is in the Logging Off state (as I can still start Task Manager at that point).
For anyone that’s interested, I resolved our logging off problem (mentioned in the comment above)… by uninstalling .NET Framework 1.0!
I fired up Process Explorer when the machine was stuck in the Logging Off state and that showed me that the winlogon.exe process was tagged as a .NET process (highlighted in yellow) so I thought I would see what happened if I took .NET off completely and voila, the laptop shut down without a problem as soon as I took it off. Luckily the user does not need .NET 1.0 any more so problem solved.
For the folks with slow initial logins, I have two possibly-silly questions: Are Offline Files enabled? And is CSCdll.dll (offline network agent) doing something anyway?
I’ve seen situations where CSCdll.dll was going into what appeared to be an infinite loop in winlogon.exe even when offline files was disabled. This was flooring a single core of the processor even after logins finished. On multi-core systems it was surprisingly easy to miss, but on single-core you’d get the responsiveness you’d expect from a processor at 100% utilization.
Does anybody have an answer for the slow shut down and slow logging off that Chris asked a few messages above?
Process Monitor is killed before my computer starts to hang. It usually starts to hang at "windows is shutting down" and "closing network connections".
Wondering if anyone can provide some insight and recommendations for troubleshooting slow logon experienced on first logon of the day with XP SP2 and XP SP3 laptops.
If the laptops goes offsite and connects via Juniper VPN to the domain, then upon first logon of the day it takes 3-4-5 minutes. If the laptop does not go offsite and stays connected to the domain the first logon of the day is around 2 mintes. I have attributed 30 seconds of that 2 minutes to the fact we have Home folders for each user and when disabled the logon time goes to 1 1/2 minutes. I can live with that portion of the delay.
Wondering if anyone else has experienced this similar issue. Trying to use Procmon, Netmon and debug logs but not tracking down exactly what is happening. Getting frustrated to say the least, this has been going on for a very long time and I haven’t been able to pinpoint the root cause. Have been able to identify machine specific items that contribute to 5-6-7 minute delayed logon instances but haven’t located the silver bullet affecting all laptop users throughout the domain when they roam offsite and connect through VPN…and I truly believe there is one hiding out their somewhere.
Any recommendations or resolutions with similar issue would be extremely appreciated.
Mr. Slow Logon, have you found any conclusive proof that Juniper is the culprit? I’m at the same point as you at the moment and it’s frustrating. I’ve zero’d in on Juniper as the cause of the symptoms also.
Has anyone shared any further information with you offline that you’d be willing to share? Specifically, how to resolve the issue while still using Juniper as a VPN client?
Unfortunately, no one has shared any additional information regarding the specific issue I have posted(ie. described above), you are the first to respond with the same issue.
Can you provide some additional detail as to the exact symptoms you are experiencing and maybe together we can bring this to a resolve or at a minimum zero in on the culprit and determine if it is related to Juniper!
Thank you for the reply…this is now making me think of a whole other subset of potential causes.
Mark, You are a superhero of the IT field. Thank you for answering the Bat-Signals.
2. Remote computer status, idle @ CTRL+ALT+DEL screen.
4. Log in to remote computer with any user.
In our case, the issue begins to occur as soon as the Juniper client is installed. After installing the client, after a few reboots the slowness begins.
Strangely enough, if I uninstall Juniper, make sure the services are all removed, and clean out the registry- the issue doesn’t go away. It doesn’t START until I install Juniper, but it takes a re-image to make it go away once it starts.
Ever thing that Process Explorer or Process Monitor could be run remotely via a permanent daemon? I want to say at least a few of the old Winternals utilities had a commercial version which could run this way.
This way we wouldnt have to mess around with the interactive desktop etc.
I am performing boot time logging with the latest version of Procmon. The tracing seems to work fine and when I launch Procmon post reboot I am asked to save the PML log (all good). But, when I go to open the files (there are 6), I get the follow error: "…was not closed cleanly during capture and is corrupt."
Wow! Great post Mark. I just ran across your blog and was captivated by the detail you apply to seemningly all you posts. Slow login time isn’t an issue for me currently, but has been in the past many times. To be honest, I need to read this article a couple more times to grasp what you said better.
I will be a regular reader of your blog now. More people should apply the level of detailed analysis you provide. Thanks for taking the time to do this.
I once had to troubleshoot a slow logon. It only seemed to affect one server. Turned out to be my fault for updating bginfo.exe (which gets run by group policy) and the new version just sat there invisibly waiting for its EULA to be accepted… I have of course added the accepteula parameter to the group policy command line, but in the mean time I was wondering what the point of running the application invisibly was.
In my case, if I try to login right after a reboot, it takes 6 minutes. If I wait 7 minutes after a reboot, login only takes a minute and a half. So it seems like a lot of stuff loads in the background after a reboot.

OPUWO, 26 NOV (NAMPA) - A three-month-old baby died at the Opuwo State Hospitals casualty ward on Sunday whilst disgruntled patients were blocking its entrance and accusing nurses of favouritism in carrying out their duties.
The nurses were embroiled in a heated exchange with more than 30 patients, who stormed into the ward and alleged that they had been waiting to be helped for hours, yet the nurses were allegedly first helping friends and relatives.
The incident brought work in the ward to a standstill from 21h15 to 23h30, and led to the matron of the Opuwo State Hospital, Lisias Ashivudhi and the principal doctor of the same hospital, Dr Refanus Kooper having to intervene to bring the situation under control.
Kooper later said the patients were to blame for the babys death as they prevented her from receiving medical attention by blocking the entrance.
When Nampa arrived at the casualty ward at around 21h30, the door of the facility was being guarded by two security guards, while a large group of patients was standing outside.
Six other patients were still inside the casualty ward, involved in an exchange with the nurses.
Jasuva Kuvare, who spoke on behalf of the rest of the patients, accused the nurses of practicing favouritism in rendering their services.
Some of us have been lining up since 15h00, and have not been treated. Some people just come from wherever and bypass the line to be treated first, which is really unfair, a fuming Kuvare said.
According to the aunt of the deceased baby, who asked not to be named, the baby was brought to the casualty ward at around 19h00, and died while the nurses and patients were involved in the bad altercation.
The baby was next in line to be treated when the fiasco broke out.
Ashivudhi said immediate investigations revealed that the patients who were still in the ward were not related to the two nurses on duty.
He explained to the angry mob that the Casualty Department was meant for serious emergency cases.
We made an exception to also attend to patients who happen to seek medical assistance at the Casualty Ward, given the fact that we are aware of the shortages of nurses and the fact that the clinics cannot treat all the patients every day. It was done to help reduce the number of patients, he explained.
Ashivudhi added that as a result, queues started forming at this ward, but when serious cases arrived which are seen as emergency situations, the line is disregarded and such patients are attended to.
This is what was being done, and community members or patients who were in the line misinterpreted that as favouritism and accused nurses of treating their relatives and friends first, which is not true, he stated.
One of the nurses, Josef Mutumbulua, excused himself from work after the marathon verbal fight and left the Casualty Ward, leaving the already agitated patients in the hands of his stretched colleague and the principal doctor.
Kooper, who confirmed the babys death, said he suspects that the baby may have suffered from severe pneumonia.
He said the baby could not receive treatment as the disgruntled patients blocked the door for more than one hour, and when medical staff finally got to have a look at the baby, she had already died.
The babys parents can open a case against the people who prevented the child from receiving medical attention on time, the doctor added, and an investigation will also be carried out.
Kooper said such behaviour from community members was very discouraging, given the shortages of nurses, and how overworked nurses at the establishment indeed are.
He thus called on community members to try and understand how institutions such as hospitals work before making insensitive accusations against medical officials.

OPTIS, the software vendor for the scientific simulation of light, human vision and physically correct visualization and Luxexcel, the 3D printing service for optical products, entered into a partnership to offer automotive manufacturers to create 3D-printed prototype.
To offer a complete service covering both the virtual- and real- prototyping, OPTIS and Luxexcel connected their technologies. OPTIS’ software solutions enable automotive designers and manufacturers to create the lighting and optical designs of their future products digitally. These virtual prototypes allow them to test and verify designs directly within their CAD platform. Following the digital model, optical designers can create a real optical prototype. Luxexcel’spatented Printoptical Technology enables users to get fully optically functional products with no post-processing and a really smooth surface, unlike traditional 3D prototypes. This additive manufacturing process can create lenses like micro- structures, freeform lenses, lens arrays and fresnel lenses that provide perfect performances and appearance to the lighting product.
Luxexcel allows to create different alternatives for a same component and their comparative study to choose the best optics. The deep customization of products is fully flexible to adapt optical designs to the project’s needs and doesn’t require large upfront investments. The process allows more freedom to create printable innovative shapes which are reliable. Both technology providers are hopeful that this integration of the Luxexcel material in the OPTIS library will allow automotive designers to speed up their design and prototyping process.

Rumour No. 1: Manchester City are set to make their first move in this summer’s transfer market by lodging an opening bid of £24 million for Aston Villa’s all-action midfielder James Milner within the next 48 hours.
However, Villa are understandably reluctant to part with Milner and will hold out for a fee closer to the £30 million mark before they even consider selling the 24-year-old.
Rumour No. 2: Liverpool are eyeing a move for Sampdoria’s £11-million-rated striker Giampaolo Pazzini.
It’s no secret that money is a bit thin on the ground at Anfield of late so, in a bid to wrap up a deal for Pazzini, manager Rafael Benitez will offer estranged winger Albert Riera in part-exchange for the 25-year-old forward.
The Best of the Rest: Liverpool are also being linked with moves for West Ham striker Carlton Cole and Sevilla’s tricky winger Jesus Navas.
Should the Hammers lose Cole over the summer, they will move to replace him with Everton striker Yakubu.
Manchester United are putting together a bid for Marseille’s 23-year-old forward Hatem Ben Arfa.
United are also ‘within days’ of submitting a £20 million offer for Ajax goal machine Luis Suarez, but will face competition from a number of other European sides for the Uruguayan striker.
Birmingham have made an £8 million bid for Wigan wide man Charles N’Zogbia, and the Blues are also chasing Bobby Zamora, Carlton Cole and Kris Boyd.
Arsenal are planning a shock move for West Ham skipper Scott Parker.
West Ham themselves are on the verge of snapping up 30-year-old Lyon winger Sidney Govou on a free transfer.
West Brom and Fulham are going head to head in the race to sign £2.5-million-rated Portsmouth centre-back Marc Wilson.
Scottish defender Steven Caldwell looks set to join up with his younger brother Gary at Wigan after being released by Burnley.
Celtic’s interim manager Neil Lennon will make Crystal Palace star Darren Ambrose his first signing if given the job on a full-time basis.
If there’s any truth to the Milner rumor, I really must question whether there’s any rhyme or reason to Manchester City’s transfer dealings. Aren’t they trying to offload a VERY similar player in Stephen Ireland?
Also, though he certainly has the quality to play in the Premiership, the Jesus Navas rumor must be rubbish unless his Spain call-up means he has put all of his homesickness issues fully behind him.

I wanted to study. I tried to read my text book. But the bitter tears refused to stop and my vision was getting blurred.
I looked at my crooked specks on the floor. Stupid specks. It was a part of my signature, ‘deaf and dumb and blind’. I couldn’t break free from the chains that bound me. I couldn’t be perfect like my sisters. There was no magic that could make me hear everything. There was no magic that would make me see everything without my specks. There was no magic that would make me prefect.
It wasn’t my fault. I didn’t chose to be born like this. Did I?
I was in a storm of regrets. Why didn’t I ever think of myself? Why didn’t I tell Amma that I won’t drop my sisters to school? Why didn’t I eat all those candies, instead of saving them for my sisters? Why didn’t I buy things for myself instead of buying for my sisters when I went to Dubai? Why did I chose to live for everyone else? Why couldn’t I be like Maria? Why couldn’t I be like Appa?
I wanted to. I wanted to walk away from my mad family. I wanted to teach them all a lesson. I promised myself that I would stop worrying about my family and start to think of me. I hated the Nina, who put everyone else first and me the last. Because at the end of the day everything was kanakkai poyi . No I wasn’t going to be stupid anymore. I am going to be the new Nina Thomas, the one who is going to think of herself first before anyone else.
The thought of new Nina and all that she was going to do finally calmed my mind.
It was getting colder and I decided to go inside and get my blanket. Perhaps I will make myself a cup of coffee, hopefully that would keep me awake.I opened the kitchen door leading to the balcony to go inside. I saw Amma sitting at the sewing machine trying to stitch a fall for the saree I got for her. She must have heard the door being opened, because she looked up and saw me. I pretended I didn’t see her. Ignoring everyone was part of the plan for the new Nina.
I took the pot from the plate rack and filled it with water. I thought asking Amma, if she would like to have a cup of coffee. Then I remembered I am the new Nina!
I lighted the gas fire using the brand new lighter I got for Amma from Dubai. Instead of sparks, this one actually had a flame and it was so easy to use. I remembered the electric kettle I got for Amma and made a mental note to get the plug fixed. Then I thought, would the new Nina have to do that? Is getting a plug fixed be considered as caring? Nah, I am not doing it because I care, I am doing it because the kettle is useless without a plug and my mother wouldn’t be able to get it fixed because she doesn’t know to speak Kannada and get it done.
I almost jumped back when I heard someone speaking while I was arguing with the sensible one.
The water started to boil and I turned to get the coffee powder and sugar.
I took the teaspoon from the plate rack and measured the sugar. I knew what Amma was asking. I knew the answer too. But how can a daughter tell her mother about her father’s mistress? I looked inside the pot, I couldn’t remember how many spoons of sugar I put inside already. I couldn’t see the sugar inside the boiling water either. I looked at Amma to see if she had noticed how many spoons of sugar I put inside. Amma was staring at me.
“I don’t know what you are talking about Amma” I spoke. I didn’t want to add anymore sugar, just incase Amma had noticed how many spoons of sugar I have already added. Anyway I can always add sugar at the end.
I tried to open the coffee powder container. It almost slipped out of my hand. No Nina Not now, don’t even dream of dropping the container. I told myself. Old Nina or the new Nina, you drop that container and you will be doomed!
I held the tin close to my body and opened the lid, carefully taking a tea spoon of coffee powder. I wanted to make sure, I didn’t take more than the required amount to make a cup of coffee. I didn’t want to be yelled at for wasting precious coffee powder.
“How?” I watched the coffee in the pot starting to boil. I quickly reduced the flame. I knew Amma was waiting for a chance to yell at me and I felt pretty good that I wasn’t giving her a chance.
It took a few seconds to actually register. Akkachi? Akkachi who?
“What?” I almost screamed when I realized what my mother just now said.
Perhaps I didn’t hear it correctly. It couldn’t be Akkachi. She meant the world to me. She wouldn’t do anything to hurt me.
My hands started to tremble. I held on to the kitchen counter. I had loved Akkachi more than I loved Amma and I couldn’t believe that she would do such a thing.
Sorry can’t type anymore today.
Gosh Sarah! Can’t imagine how you are writing this blog and what you should be going through in your mind when you revisit those dark memories. I admire you and espl the courage/attitude you have to putup with everything in life. Whenever I’m down and want to quit I read your specific entries, that keeps me going. THANKS.
Is this your real name? I have read quite a few of your entries. Initially, I thought that this is possibly a story being masqueraded as a real life journal. I am now willing to believe that you suffered a lot of anguish from your relatives, especially your mother. I have seen this happenning and so I am not surprised.
However, my understanding is that by revisiting your past, you are not helping yourself. The modern western psychologists perception is to express all of one’s anguish to lighten oneself. My limited understanding is that all of us have got atleast a little anguish from our near and dear ones. Happiness is obtained by connecting to happiness, not revisiting the misery or trying to negate misery. If we search for true happiness, slowly we will no longer need the shelter of misery to become stronger to move on with our day to day life.
“But the bitter tears refused to stop and my vision was getting blurred.
I have my doubts whether a person who cannot see can do all of those things. Like “knowing your mother was staring at you without even lifting your head to look up”….what difference would it make if you looked up or not? Before you try to pass off fiction as reality in order to get sympathy from strangers you might want to do a little bit of research about what it means to be deaf, dumb and blind.

Shocking news from Oscar Mayer.... As they see it, a hot dog is, in fact, a sandwich.
The hot dog-sandwich debate has divided families, broken friendships and split the country in two... ok maybe not but it could! The polarizing hot dog debate has been raging for years and now we finally have the answer. Oscar Mayer's controversial claim also comes with a hotline they created to help people cope with the news. It's open for just 24 hours. Yes... it's a hot dog hotline and it will remain open.
What a time to be alive! Do you agree with Oscar Mayer's shocking claim!?!

Part of the reason the original moon shot was successful was its catch-the-imagination focus: sending a human to the moon. In a similar way, Kennedy suggested the single focus for the new inner-space mission should be finding ways to treat the brain-based wounds of returning veterans of wars, including traumatic brain injury (TBI) and post-traumatic stress disorder.
“They are returning home, but they’re taking their battlefield home with them,” he said. “You the neuroscientists can rescue our injured soldiers, prisoners of war” due to their illness, and held hostage by the stigma that theirs is a mental weakness, not a physiological injury. In the past decade, more soldiers have died from their own hand than from combat, he said, unable to heal their wounds without help and not getting much support. “It’s a win for the terrorists when a veteran dies at home,” he said.
The price many veterans pay is high, and they don’t always get the forms of treatment they deserve. For example, Kennedy said, 15 percent of convicts entering prisons today are veterans of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, people who likely have untreated mental disorders, “a criminal-justice statistic versus a health-care statistic.” We have the duty to help those who fight our battles for us, he said.
As well, focusing research on helping veterans doesn’t just help them and their families, but can help everyone, Kennedy said. For example, veterans with TBI and similar injuries show signs of earlier dementias, including Alzheimer’s; studies that would help them could also help the hundreds of thousands of other aging Americans who are at risk for those diseases.
I felt a little buffeted by the speech; on the one hand uplifted at the idea we might all come together to unlock the mysteries of the brain and find ways to heal it (and make a “GPS for the human brain”), and on the other terrified by all the angry war imagery and the idea that science is a battle. But on a practical level, using war imagery and targeting work towards veterans is the only likely way to get increased funding for brain research; while other, health-based, federal budgets are frozen or shrinking, the budget for our military continues to grow.
“We must all be of one mind when it comes to brain research,” Kennedy said, drawing the biggest round of applause from the audience.
Former Speaker of the House Thomas P. ‘Tip’ O’Neill was famous for saying, “All politics is local.” I think Patrick Kennedy pinpoints this concept further to “All politics is personal.” When an issue hits home, people become engaged and policy moves forward. It sounds like Mr. Kennedy’s call for making the brain the next frontier is resonating in the community.

The size of Colorado, Ecuador is a volcanically lush and colorful country divided into three regions: the coast; the Andes; and El Oriente (the East), famous for its abundant birdlife, wild orchids, mountain village festivals, indigenous cultures, incredible natural beauty, biodiversity and the Galapagos Islands.
Due to its location on the equator, Ecuador is a year-round destination with a wide array of experiences for any traveler to enjoy.
Quito, the colorful Spanish colonial capital city, is located at 10,000 foot elevation and is home to fine architecture, colorful markets, museums and botanical gardens. In contrast, the Andes Mountains in Ecuador feature towering snow capped volcanoes and unique indigenous villages.
Ecuador also boasts 1,200 miles of coastline, where tropic beaches, fishing villages and the large port city of Guayaquil are found. Here, guests are treated to abundant marine life and hot, humid temperatures.
The Galapagos Islands off the coast of Ecuador are perhaps Ecuador’s most popular attraction. The “Enchanted Islands” were the inspiration for Charles Darwin’s theory of evolution, and today they serve as host to one of the world’s most notable wildlife conservation efforts. With fearless wildlife that have never known humanity as a threat, the islands offer the chance to get up close to nature for unforgettable encounters. South America specialist Jennifer Gillmore has visited the Galapagos Islands a remarkable ten times, and our entire team of South America experts have also cruised and personally inspected numerous vessels in the Galapagos, including private yacht charters and expedition ships.
Experience the culture of Ecuador’s Andean highlands before boarding the M/V Origin to explore the spectacular Galápagos Islands. Lounge with sea lions on the beach, snorkel with sea turtles, witness the giant tortoise in its only natural habitat, photograph the one-of-a-kind blue-footed booby and more in one of the world's top wildlife viewing destinations.

Could Muslim woman marry Christians or Jews.
Question: What is the ruling of Islamic Sharia in regards of women marrying someone from the People of scripture (Jews or Christians)?
It is halal by Islamic Sharia for Muslim women to marry Christians or Jews according to the Quranic verse “This day are (all) things good and pure made lawful unto you. The food of the people of the book is lawful unto you and yours is lawful unto them. (lawful) unto in marriage) are (not only) chaste women who are believers, but chaste women among the people of the book, revealed before your time, when you give them their due dowers, and desire chastity, not lewdness, nor secret intrigues. if any one rejects faith, fruitless is his work, and in the hereafter he will be in the ranks of those who have lost (all spiritual good).” (5:5).
The holy Quran uses the term “Those who believe” to describe Muslims, Christians, and Jews, as they all received messages from God. For example, the Quran told Mohamed “How can they judge you and they have the Old Testament which has God’s words.” The New Testament also speaks of the Quran.
We understand Quran through the Quran itself because the Arabic language has evolved since the Quran was revealed and have new meanings and vocabulary. Even the Turath has its own vocabularies that reflect the time it was written in, like the Shia or Sufi Turath. It makes no sense to try to understand the holy Quran using vocabulary that was invented or changed after the Quran was revealed. This is why Quran should only be understood through its’ own vocabulary. For example, Sunna in Quran means law or methodology and it is attributed to Allah (SWT), as he says: There can be no difficulty to the Prophet in what God has indicated to him as a duty. It was the practice [Sunna] (approved) of God amongst those of old that have passed away, and the command of God is a decree determined.” (33:38) Here, Sunna is used in the verse context just like if it is duty, and they both mean God’s Sharia. As for the prophet Mohamed (PBUH), Muslims should follow his good deeds only, and not his personal life choices.
When we research the holy Quran using its’ terminology, we must accept what the verses say, even if it is against what we initially thought. Hence, before discussing the marriage of Muslim women to Non-Muslims, we need to define first what it means to be a Muslim.
According to the Quran, the word Islam has two meanings: the first is a behavioral definition and it means to be peaceful, and the second is a faith-based definition, and that is to worship no one but Allah and to submit to him fully. The faith-based meaning of Islam is left for Allah’s judgement in the other life, but the behavioral meaning is for humans to use, regardless of faith, as long as that person is peaceful. This means that any peaceful individual is considered a Muslim and can marry any Muslim believer.
Infidel here means people with aggressive and violent behavior, and hence suicide bombers who kill without distinction are infidels.
Question: Regardless of their religion?
The verse is clear: fight those who fight you, so you fight as a last resort, not to transgress. This kind of infidel cannot marry a Muslim, regardless of his/her faith. What we should care about here is peaceful behavior whether they are Muslims, Christians, Jews, Buddhist, etc. Some may argue that interfaith marriage will make children not be Muslims, but this gives them the freedom to choose, just like all Muslims should.
I have a question regarding this verse, Sheikh Mansour. This day are (all) things good and pure made lawful unto you. the food of the people of the book is lawful unto you and yours is lawful unto them. (lawful) unto in marriage) are (not only) chaste women who are believers, but chaste women among the people of the book, revealed before your time, when you give them their due dowers, and desire chastity, not lewdness, nor secret intrigues. if any one rejects faith, fruitless is his work, and in the hereafter he will be in the ranks of those who have lost (all spiritual good).” If all things good are already halal, why does the verse say that “This day” they are halal? Were the people of the book prohibited from eating our food? Same thing goes for chaste women, isn’t it halal to begin with? And what is the point of talking about faith in the middle of food and women?
Allah SWT says “This day are (all) things good and pure made lawful unto you. The food of the people of the book is lawful unto you and yours is lawful unto them. (lawful) unto in marriage) are (not only) chaste women who are believers, but chaste women among the people of the book, revealed before your time, when you give them their due dowers, and desire chastity, not lewdness, nor secret intrigues. if any one rejects faith, fruitless is his work, and in the hereafter he will be in the ranks of those who have lost (all spiritual good)” (5:5).
Chapter 5 (Alma’eda) is one of the last revealed verses in Quran, and before it, there were plenty of wars between Muslims and Jewish and Christian transgressors and Allah prohibited Muslims of making alliances with them at that time. There were many Muslims who secretively allied with the enemies, “- O ye who believe take not the Jews and the Christians allies ( while they are attacking you) : they are but allies for each other, and he amongst you that turns to them (for friendship) is of them. verily God guideth not a people unjust.” (5:51). Hence this law was limited to its time and place, Allah (SWT) described such agents “Those in whose hearts is a disease thou seest how eagerly they run about amongst them, saying: we do fear lest a change of fortune bring us disaster. ah perhaps God will give (thee) victory, or a decision according to his will. then will they repent of the thoughts which they secretly harbored in their hearts” (5:52). These Jews that the Quran speaks of are Arab tribes who worshiped Uzair and Talih, and are not the current Jews who worship different Gods. Allah says: “The Jews call Uzair a son of God, and the Christians call Christ the son of God. that is a saying from their mouth; (in this) they but imitate what the unbelievers of old used to say. God's curse be on them: how they are deluded away from the truth.” (9:30).
Because of such alliance and similarity of faith, they united against Muslims. Allah says: “And they say: none shall enter paradise unless he be a Jew or a Christian. those are their (vain) desires. say: produce your proof if ye are truthful” (2:111). Meaning they considered themselves the only believers and want the Muslims to follow their path. “Never will the Jews or the Christians be satisfied with thee unless thou follow their form of religion. say: the guidance of God, that is the (only) guidance. wert thou to follow their desires after the knowledge which hath reached thee, then wouldst thou find neither protector nor helper against God” (2:120). They even wished for Muslims to return to their religion before Islam “Quite a number of the people of the book wish they could turn you (people) back to infidelity after ye have believed, from selfish envy, after the truth hath become manifest unto them: but forgive and overlook, till God accomplish his purpose; for God hath power over all things.” (2:109).
Despite having similar faiths and a political alliance, such enemies were in constant internal arguments, just like all people who choose earthly religions “The Jews say: the Christians have naught (to stand) upon; and the Christians say: the Jews have naught (to stand) upon. yet they (profess to) study the (same) book. like unto their word is what those say who know not; but God will judge be tween them in their quarrel on the day of judgment” (2:113).These transgressing Jews and Christians did not represent all Jews or all Christians, as the Quran divides the people of the book into three categories: The previous, the just, and the transgressors.
This introduction explains why Allah (SWT) made it halal, after securing the safety of the Islamic state, to have interfaith marriages. The Quran first explained what it means in the case to be peaceful, hence, a Muslim through behavior. So indeed when Allah (SWT) says “today,” this means that interfaith marriage was not allowed before because of the ongoing wars between Muslims and the transgressors among the people of the book.
It is worth noting that these Arabs whom the Quran called Jews were later exiled from the Arabian Peninsula, especially in Yemen. They tried to act as if they became Muslims, and they caused troubles for Muslims in the battle of Algamal and Safieen. Later, they established the Shia and Sunni Sects under the leadership of Abdallah Ben Saba’ and Ka’ab AlAhbar, respectively.
Finally, any peaceful human is a Muslim, and it is Halal to marry him/her regardless of their faith, as this is up to Allah (SWT) only. It is also halal to eat their food and offer them our food. In all cases, the condition for marriage is modesty and paying dowry.

You can’t walk a runway without an amazing pair of shoes, so when Loding agreed to provide their luxury, full grain, goodyear welted shoes for the gentleman on the runway Fashion Heals was more than thrilled. The footwear has actually been hand painted, making them one of a kind! We chatted with Zofia Liffel, Operations Director of Loding and Maison Patina and got her to share what contributing to Fashion Heals means to her.
Fashion is a way to express your emotions visually, it’s another key way to showcase your inner self.

So today I drive back home for winter break. For those of you who read this, I am probably already on the road. The loooooooong road that is I-5. Tumbleweeds galore.
As I drive the 300 miles home I listen to mixed CD’s (mostly country. Blame my hick town roots.) and ponder what I have accomplished in the past 3 and a half years. It seems like only yesterday I was making my first drive home from Orange County to Hollister and now here I am making what will probably be my 37th trip back home.
This is the first time I’ll be driving home and not have a distinct reason to come back at a certain time. Weird but comforting at the same time.
I’ll be taking the next few days to look back on what my life has been the past few years.
I Just Finished College, But The World Is Ending.

Trimming polylines especialy those with a string of small segments should be done at the intersection of those polylines.
Now trimming is done with the seggments that where the nearest when selecting the two polylines.
This is expected behaviour. The segments closest to the mouse cursor when clicking the polylines are trimmed to each other.
This is still a bug.
How can anyone know wich segment is intersecting with wich segment of the polys.
When both already intersect selecting both and high zooming in on the intersecting segments does the trick.
When one poly spans far enough and the other does not come near it with high zooming no adaquate segment of the firts can be pointed out.
When both don't span far enough the end segments should be selected in two high zoom states.
In all cases the overview is lost and the prototype is out of view.
Thanks for providing details on your use case. However, there are other valid use cases in which it is important that the chosen segments are trimmed and not the end segments. It comes down to the tool now being able to predict what the user intends.
Feel free to post a feature request for a tool option / new tool that better suits your particular use case. Please include screenshots / drawing files that document your use case. Thanks.

Heidi Swanson of 101cookbooks.com gives you meat-free alternatives that will tempt even the hard-core carnivores.

An oft asked question is what resources can I recommend for getting started with data science? Here are my recommendations, and if you have others, please put them in the comments!
Data Science for Business is a great overview book.
It’s not very technical and it makes the concepts very accessible. I especially found the sections describing how loss functions work, particularly enlightening compared to other explanations I’ve seen.
Most importantly, it dwells on the process and the business implications of data science. This is a book I’m happy to recommend to managers, technology people, and recent graduates alike.
I read the book on my phone on kindle, usually when I was travelling. It remained something readable and intelligible at early hours and late nights – a compelling endorsement in an area where the books can be dense and make one’s brain bleed out of one’s ears.
R for Data Science: Import, Tidy, Transform, Visualize, and Model Data is written by Hadley Wickham and Garett Grolemund. You can buy it and you can also access it online.
If you’re interested in learning to actually start doing data science as a practitioner, this book is a very accessible introduction to programming.
Starting gently, this book doesn’t teach you much about the use of R from a general programming perspective. It takes a very task oriented approach and teaches you R as you go along.
This book doesn’t cover the breadth and depth of data science in R, but it gives you a strong foundation in the coding skills you need and gives you a sense of the of the process you’ll go through.
I really like this book but it’s important to note you may have some gaps in your knowledge if this is your main introduction to R programming.
There are many introductions to R that are useful. The difficulty lies in that there aren’t many focusing on modern R.
I struggle with the ongoing debate about whether I teach people a strong understanding in base R (or vanilla R) or do I teach them modern R (e.g. data.table and the tidyverse) which I perceive to be easier?
Base R is quirky and quite difficult to learn. Modern R is much easier.
Base R knowledge ensures you understand the core objects and programming constructs. Modern R focusses on tabular data, which is what most people need.
Base R is stable. Modern R is bleeding edge.
There are very good base R introductory books but we’re still relatively lacking in ones that incorporate a lot of modern R.
User groups are a great way to meet people in the field and see some talks in the area. For the most part, I recommend you go to meetup.com and look for local data science, python, or R meetups near you.
I love user groups and I think they’re a great way to build a local network of people you can chat to about your start in data science.
There’s a reasonable amount of people out there offering introductions to R and data science. I myself offer training, from bespoke to community workshops to training for BI people. You can often search Eventbrite or ask on twitter to find an event happening near you. Your local user group is another great place to ask.
You can also check out a lot of conferences. KDNuggets keep a good list of conferences that you can attend.
As data science is becoming so popular, you can often see a lot of data science appearing in non-data science conferences, especially data platform and analysis conferences so you might be able to look to conferences you already know about for getting started with data science.
I love reading blogs as a way of learning in an area – not only do you get technical knowledge but people are kind enough to share theory and current trends too. I read a variety that might not suit everyone but if you’re just starting out I recommend Becoming a Data Scientist and R-bloggers.
Getting hands-on is an important aspect of learning for me.
A great way to start doing that in, a very chuck yourself in at the deep end kind of way, is to start learning on Kaggle and especially their Titanic competition.
In more gentle ways of learning, you can start using Microsoft free notebook and machine learning platform to start coding things.
Alas, I’m not a podcast person so I’ve only one recommendation for you: Not So Standard Deviations.
By far my most recommended site for learning R and data science is DataCamp. DataCamp blends videos and online exercises making it a great way to learn practically but still get the theory.
There are a number of free introductory courses, but DataCamp works on a monthly subscription access model of $29. For the monthly fee, you can consume any and all of their courses.
DataCamp is great value for money, especially if you want to do an intensive month of learning and then end your subscription.
Coursera is the original online course provider.
They’ve got some fantastic courses for getting started with data science.
With online courses like this, you can find yourself dropping off it and not finishing a course. I recommend you start with just a course or two before you go for something like the $20k Masters in Data Science that you could work towards on there!
The post Getting started with data science – recommended resources appeared first on Locke Data. Locke Data are a data science consultancy aimed at helping organisations get ready and get started with data science.

your dog’s health one Ruff Break at a time!
and dog behavior along on every Ruff Break.
Melissa, Bert’s wife and manager of The Ruff Break, loves to walk and bike, and if she can have a dog by her side all the better! She is caring and patient and has a gift for motivating dogs through challenging situations.
She seeks out hills, stairs, deep snow, or whatever it takes to ensure the dog she exercises gets a great workout.
Hi, my name Kristofer Alvarez and the current Ruff Break manager. I believe every moment spent outdoors is a great moment. Whether it’s a leisurely stroll with a senior dog or a long run to drain a pups endless energy, I look forward to making sure every dog gets the best opportunity to enjoy some excellent exercise. I moved to Rochester in 2012 when I joined the Conservation Corps Minnesota and have a background in wild land firefighting.
Erica’s calm and gentle nature allow her to connect really well with some of our more fearful and anxious dogs. She has owned dogs throughout her life and currently has one dog, Chloe. She is a book keeper by trade and is fluent in both French and dog speak!
My name is Allison Schweighart. I graduated from Northwestern College in Orange City, IA. I am currently attending RCTC and I am studying to be a veterinary technician. I currently have one dog Sophie after losing her brother Spencer to cancer in June of 2015. I love animals especially dogs, cats, and horses. I really enjoy biking and hiking with Sophie.
Hi! My name is Phoebe. I can’t imagine my life without pets or playing sports. I work full time as a Quality Specialist in a clinical laboratory and like to stay active after work. I enjoy playing hockey, broomball, traveling, and fetch with my dog, Tundra. Tundra is a long time satisfied Ruff Break client. As a Ruff Break employee, I hope to blend my athletic abilities, love for animals and dependability into a satisfying experience for the dogs and give their humans peace of mind knowing their furry companion is being cared for by a responsible and capable dog enthusiast.

A petition calling for Rightmove to end ‘no tenants on benefits’ adverts has reached 40,000 signatures.
The petition is the latest measure to outlaw the advertising practice of ‘no DSS’ tenants and was launched on 38 Degrees, a not-for-profit political activism organisation.
The problem of ‘no DSS’ adverts has become an increased political agenda since it was first highlighted in May last year by Shelter, they reported that 10% of letting adverts stated ‘no DSS’.
Other measures include NatWest announcing that it was reviewing its buy-to-let mortgage, they will now allow landlords to let to people who are on benefits.
There have been calls for Rightmove to follow in the footsteps of Zoopla.
In March Zoopla reported that they were going to ban adverts excluding people on benefits from their website, starting in April.

We are delighted to announce our upcoming British Bantamweight Title Clash between Kash Farooq (Glasgow) and Jamie Wilson (Dundee). It has been 25 years since 2 Scots have met to content this title at the Club, and we are looking forward to another mouth-watering clash similar to that served up by Drew Docherty and Donnie Hood in 1993.
Kash and Jamie have much at stake, and are hungry to get their hands on the coveted Lord Lonsdale Belt. Jamie’s developing talent and recent form has shown he is in peak shape for this exciting challenge. Kash has continued his undefeated pursuit of the title, getting himself into mandatory position by recording knock-outs in his last 3 performances. This mix of skill and power from both contenders makes for a truly exciting battle which I am sure everyone in attendance will relish.
Our Guest of Honour on the night will be SFA Performance Director, Malky Mackay who will engage in a Q&A Session with Chairman Hugh Keevins giving us an insight into Malky’s professional career.
To celebrate a lifetime commitment to the sport of boxing, we take great pride in awarding Jim Watt MBE the title of Honorary Patron of St Andrew’s Sporting Club on this great evening.
We look forward to you joining us at what will be a memorable night.

Below you can see Mika's JRC NRD-545 DSP. In addition, Mika had an NRD-535D and Jim two pieces of NRD-535D. Two receivers come in handy especially when hunting stations which have local identifications relatively rarely. RAI (Italy), all Spanish networks and NHK-2 (Japan) stations are good examples of this.
Additional equipment included amplifiers and antenna tuners. Both had a switchboard (picture below) designed by Roland Sandberg to select the antennae, and if necessary, to split a particular antenna between the two receivers. A new active splitter was used to divide some essential antennae between the listeners.
This year the Lemmenjoki QTH was equipped with 14 beverage or longwire antennae. Both users can exclusively have five antennae and the remaining four are divided with a splitter, so that in effect both listeners can choose between nine wires. Each antenna is 0.8 - 1 kilometer (0.5 - 0.6 miles) in length.
The recording equipment also merits a note. Mika used only minidiscs (Sony MDS-JE520 deck and a portable Sony MZ-R35), which was a revolutionary improvement to the cassette era. Jim still relied on the cassette decks, because they operate well also at his summer cottage, which has no electricity.

Thanks for all the kind comments about Season 11.
Grot and Dante are back, and they have learnt how to rob people (though it’s an expensive past time). And now they have a new victim/friend Rafaq. Surely being friends with a cursed knight and a Bugbear executioner can’t bring instability to his life.
We run down the history of Grot and Dante, and then they work out how to get to a small village along a country road. That is the only challenge…and yet it somehow becomes something much, much more.
Thanks to all our listeners for their patience recently. I know the podcast has been a bit more chaotic, and I can only thank you for sticking with us.
I hope you enjoy what I think is one of the best starts to a season we’ve had.
This sounds better. After 10 minutes anyway. Thanks to all those who took part at Dragonmeet this year. When I have more time I will write some proper thanks and give shout outs on Twitter. Real life needs to chill out for a bit.
The battle is upon us. The final plans need to be drawn up. Who will engage in combat first? Will we write letter to our mothers? Will Gorrus be allowed to do anything without being messed with first. All that, and more, on todays Formal Gamer.
So we fixed the audio. But we still have an issue. Farven is not a level 20. Everyone else is. And the battle they are about to undertake is seriously badass. How will Farven get ready for this final war? Surely there is something they can do.

Anaerobic Digestion is a renewable energy technology whereby waste is consumed by microbes to produce biogas, which can be burned to produce energy. The UK AD Microbiome Monitoring Project uses high-throughput genetic sequencing to characterise the microbial communities performing this task in industrial digesters throughout the UK, with the aim of better understanding and controlling the process.
The graph below shows operating conditions in participating reactors over time. For more detail, data from each week for each reactor can be browsed and searched here. When sequencing of the reactor microbial communities is carried out, these results will be made available as well.

CELTICLADY'S REVIEWS: True Hollywood Noir by Dina Di Mambro Review!
True Hollywood Noir by Dina Di Mambro Review!
While some of this book is retelling of old tales there is new information that has come out in the last twenty years. Deathbed confessions and interviews with those finally willing to talk after the passage of time have provided updated information. Interviews I did with Johnny Stompanato’s son, Mickey Cohen’s right hand man and Gig Young’s ex-girlfriend have offered a new take on stories that films fans and true crime aficionados think they know. Each theory is explored and the reader can make up his or her own mind. I tried to give well-rounded portrayals. No subjects of my chapters are shown as all good or all bad or are portrayed as being one-dimensional.
True Hollywood Noir by Dina Di Mambro is one of those kind of non fiction Hollywood type of books that you can sink your teeth into. I know most of the stories in the book and I have heard about George Reeves, of Superman fame, Natalie Wood, whom I have always admired as an actress, Robert Blake, his recent murder trial has been widely publicized. I remember reading about Lana Turner and Johnny Stompanato and his murder and Bob Crane most notably known for Hogan's Heroes. I found all of these stories fascinating and a fun read. I am not one of those type of people who is fond of looking at or reading the 'tabloids', I prefer to read biographies about famous people. I enjoyed this book and there was a lot of research that went into the writing, there are interviews with friends and families, pictures and a lot of references listed in the back of the book. A great read if you love reading about Hollywood.
I received a review copy of this book and was not monetarily compensated for my review.

I love doing in home sessions so much. It opens a door, allowing a much broader and richer story to unfold. Home sessions are such a comfortable, natural process and that was especially true for Cheyanne's maternity session. She is so calming and makes you feel like anything but an intrusion. Maternity photography in particular is an incredibly intimate experience. It's a window into a deeply personal season of emotion and anticipation and I feel so honored each time I get to document it. We photographed her and her sweet growing baby girl inside and outside of her home. Her fun-loving, up for anything personality made this session so fun and she was a million times tougher than I was in the 18 degree weather despite my parka and fleece lined legging/jean combo. I can't wait to meet this precious little one.

Ad-Dajjal will appear sometime before Yaum-ul-Qiyamah.
Allah, the Almighty will give him some supernatural powers the manifestation of which will shake the faith of many people. For this reason, this will be a serious trial.
All Prophets warned their people against him. Our Prophet (sal Allahu alaihi wa sallam) also warned us against him and ordered us to guard ourselves from it and strictly advised us to seek Refuge of Allah against it.
This Hadith tells us the way to save ourselves from Ad-Dajjal. The recitation of the first or the last ten Ayat of Surat Al-Kahf is very useful for this purpose.

Catalyst was engaged to rebrand a newly acquired property in the Orlando, Florida market serving students at the University of Central Florida. The property, The Edge, was well liked by both residents and prospects in the market and had a positive reputation among students; however, the acquisition required a new name and brand. As part of the new branding, Catalyst would need to promote a brand reveal event in the marketplace to introduce the property and continue the positive reputation for another year.
Catalyst worked closely with the property to get input on name options before ultimately choosing the name, The Verge. Due to the popularity of The Edge prior to the change in ownership and management, the on-site staff strongly desired keeping a name that was a nod to the property’s previous identity. The Verge allowed for this, while also elevating the brand in accordance with property improvements planned for the next year. In addition to renaming the property, Catalyst created a new logo, brand guide, and paper system; designed signage for the property; and strategized a brand reveal campaign to launch just after move-ins for the fall 2016 semester.
To promote the property’s new brand, Catalyst worked with the on-site staff to plan a VIP pool party that would symbolize the new brand while showcasing the upgrades coming soon. As part of the campaign, flyers, emails, and a landing page were designed for residents to RSVP for the party. Each piece contained teasers about “something big” that would be revealed at the event and encouraged people to attend for a chance to win a variety of door prizes. Of the 928 emails sent, 692 (75.1%) were opened, and 287 (31.1%) of people clicked on the email. Between email marketing and flyers handed out in the market, 217 RSVPs were generated. In addition to these people RSVP’ing for the event, this helped to build a list for upcoming marketing campaigns as leasing kicks off in the market.

One of the test projects in the Box2d for Delphi Firemonkey physics engine is a simple side view car simulation. Box2d for Delphi Firemonkey runs in Delphi XE5 and Delphi XE6 on Android, IOS, Windows, and OSX. The simulation has all kinds of different physics objects implemented in it including a ground plane with hills and ditches, a bridge, a couple jumps, and boxes to drive though. The vehicle consists of a body with two wheels. There is a Box2d for AS3 tutorial which shows how to create the car using Box2d objects from scratch. If you want to add motors and shocks to the vehicle there is a second tutorial in AS3 that shows you how to do that. AS3 can be easily translated to Object Pascal. This car test project could be used as the basis for creating a game for Android or IOS or any number of other simulation uses. You could easily modify this sample to have the camera keep the car at the center of the screen and then load multiple levels with different ground configurations.
Download Box2d For Delphi Firemonkey and start modifying the Car test project to suit your needs.

Chapel Down Classic Non Vintage Brut is a consistently good value, stylish English Sparkling Wines made from grapes, grown in vineyards across Sussex, Kent, Essex and Dorset. A finely structured, elegant fizz which has red apple, lemon grass and freshly baked bread aromas and flavours with hints of strawberry and quince aromas. Made by the champagne method, which involves significant work from the vinification as a still wine, period on its lees, followed by a secondary fermentation in bottle and bottle age of around 18 months, before disgorgement. It has a fine and sustained mousse. This is great value, stylish English fizz.
We shouldn’t be surprised that English fizz is so good, as the South Downs and surrounding areas share many geological characteristics, and a not too dissimilar climate, to that of the Champagne area. As a result some top Champagne houses like Tattinger have invested in areas of land in the South Downs to plant vines.
Chapel Down planted their vineyards in 1977 and are now the largest English wine producer, working with many vine growers across Sussex, Kent, Essex and Dorset. Chief winemaker at Chapel Down is Josh Donaghay-Spire, who has a degree in Viticulture and Oenology from Plumpton College and gained his experience in Alsace, Champagne and South Africa.
The CSWWC is the most respected, comprehensive and rigorous international sparkling wine competition in the world, judged exclusively by renowned fizz experts Tom Stevenson, Essi Avellan MW and Dr Tony Jordan.

Anything official from the ufc about McGregor's fight?
I really hope this fight isn't called off.
I don't think I could stand the build up again.
Would feel bad on a lot of people who paid to go. Its still a great trip for them and he will fight someone, but they probably paid an additional premium because it was a title fight and many of them will want to go back again next time around, costing a small fortune again!
Jose Aldo has a serious track record of "being injured" - He's pulled out of UFC 125, UFC 149, UFC 153, and UFC 176. He's a bit of a coward.
Mendez for interim belt as contingency.
McGregor did an interview for UFC back in December.
He predicted Aldo would withdraw within 2 weeks of the fight and he'd be fighting Chad Mendes instead. Scary if it happens.
3 of those were in N. America too. Seems to be happy to fight in Brazil, though.
Mad to think that he's pulled out of 4 title defences and only fought 7 times in his 10 years in the UFC. SEVEN times in a decade!! Cathal Pendred is about to have his 5th fight within his first year!
Aldo has had 7 fights for UFC since April 2011.The merger took place towards the end of 2010.
That's still pretty weak considering Cathel Pandred is about to have his 5th in 11 months.
I think his track record and revenue lost are major factors in their decision to strip him if he doesn't fight.
7 title fights between April 2011 and October 14 isnt too bad .if the McGregor fight goes ahead on July it will be 8 fights in approx 51 months.
Pointless comparing Aldo to Pendred ,Aldo is a title holder and is gonna pick and choose who he fights,Pendred is taking any fight he gets to build a name/record.
A better comparison would be when Aldo joined WEC,he had 5 fights in a year basically the very same as Pendred now.
Aldo has his excuse boxed off now ..
So is he fighting Aldo?

Welcome to Miami – a city where there are so many eccentricities that it’s hard to pin down – and it probably doesn’t need an introduction anyway. So I turn to the words of a friend, a Floridian, who describes the city as “a whirling crazed hurricane of pan-America, complete with ‘damned alligators and mosquitos.’” Amidst all the hyper-extravagance, Miami is a mosaic of the world’s people, fringed by unbeatable beaches, clustered at the edge of its unique subtropical wilderness of Everglades.
Will Smith did it, and so can you.
You don’t have to shell out a second mortgage in Miami to indulge. Hop off your plane and head to South Miami Beach – or SoBe if you want to be down with the local lingo. Drop your bags off at HI – Miami Beach, our little piece of affordable luxury less than 500m from the sandy shores, and head out with your swimmers for a session of sunning, soaking up the glamour and people watching.
Rise early to find your way around Miami Beach; watch the tide of joggers swarming the boardwalk, running from 21st Street to 46th Street, as they merge into the vibrant scene of the south where you’re staying. Grab an expresso at The News Stand Café to keep up with the SoBe energy before embarking on your very own Art Deco walking tour, zigzagging south between Ocean Drive and Collins Avenue. This area is home to some of Art Deco’s finest architecture, owing to the rebuilding boom following a 1926 hurricane which flattened the neighbourhood. Film buffs will want to reserve their admiration for The Carlyle (1250 Ocean Drive at 13th Street) where classic gangster flick Scarface was shot.
To further fuel your Art-deco appreciation, visit the Wolfsonian-FIU design museum.
Fort Lauderdale has come a long way since its days of college parties, beer-drinking contests and wet t-shirt competitions (though you can still find those if that’s what you’re looking for). Carve the Riverwalk running from Stranahan House to the Broward Centre towards the Las Olas Riverfront, but don’t forget to stop off at Gran Forno for lunch – a Milanese-style bakery full of warm crusty pastries and various freshly baked goods.
Set in the evocative heart of Little Havana, Máximo Gómez Park is perfect snapshot of Miami’s Cuban, Central and South American heritage, with plenty of the city’s immigrants settling here. It’s worth bypassing the tourist crowds to experience the chatter of elderly men playing chess, the fragrant whiff of cigars, and the clatter of dominoes as they topple.
Want to escape the Miami madness? Just south of the city, this tropical reef haven must not be missed! Perfect for underwater activities, you can relax on the secluded waterfront, hire a kayak, snorkel or even tour the National Park in a glass-bottom boat. If it’s wildlife you seek, you’re in the right place; this marine expanse is home to manatees and sea turtles. If you’re worried about finding a corpse, you’ve been watching too much CSI: Miami.
Miami is splitting at the seams with hotel bars, cocktail lounges and slick urbanite clubs, but many carrying a cover charge of $20 before you’ve even begun. We suggest interesting hidden gem Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 3559, hidden inside an apartment building on 650 West Ave: you need to ring the doorbell to get in (bit weird) but the bartenders are friendly, and the beer is only 2 bucks. The panoramic view of the bay is priceless; best enjoyed at sunset.
If you’re lucky enough to be in the thick of the Miami beat in early March, Calle Ocho is tipped to be the largest street party in the world – a must! Eat, drink and be merry with around one million of the city’s residents and visitors alike, feel the distinctly Cuban carnival vibe, and enjoy the fiesta.

Admit it, now you are humming, "I know you, I walked with you once upon a dream," me too.
I love Fairy Tales, any way I can get them… twisted, a different POV, modern-day, anything. So when a retelling is hitting the theaters so am I.
Maleficent is a must see for all YA & New Adult book lovers! I absolutely loved the retelling of Sleeping Beauty from Maleficent's perspective. For me, this was an adaptation made for YA & Fantasy fans but all Moms will love it too. Angelina Jolie was so many things. One minute she is freaking creepy then funny and then she puts her big girl wings on and is fierce. I’m not going to lie, #fairycrush. I mean who can make pointy cheekbones look awesome?
When you watch Maleficent (because why wouldn’t you) you will have your heart broken, want revenge and feel snide and then you will fall in love as a mother does and then you will feel the wrath baby! When the action started, I was like “YES, kill that guy! Jerk” and then I was like, “Wait; let me get a better look at that Prince, he’s new”.
As far as a younger audience, I’m not sure they would enjoy it as much. There is a lot of dialogue and I know dialogue equals run down the aisles like wild banshees for my boys (they are 5 & 3). Now my daughter (who is 8), I think she would have liked it, but I think middle school and up is the ideal audience.
Needless to say, Maleficent will be an automatic buy when it is released.
Now, we get to anticipate Cinderella! Set to hit theaters 2015. And all we get is.a.SHOE. But man, a shoe has never looked so good! Lily James is set to play Cinderella.
Jolie, appearing in her first live-action film since 2010, must be and is the movie's strongest asset.

While all forms of acupuncture treatment relieve stress in some way, Stress-Relief Acupuncture referred to here is also called "five needle protocol" and is similar to the NADA protocol (see below). This protocol is 5 special points in each ear. These points are needled bilaterally in each person (each ear gets needles) for a total of 10 needles per person per treatment. (*1) This is a very powerful protocol that brings the body from "fight or flight" mode to "rest and digest" mode while the needles are in. It helps the body remember what it is like to be in "rest and digest" mode. This protocol has been very effective in Disaster Relief clinics (see the work by Acupuncturists without Borders) and is being used in Military Stress Recovery Project Clinics. It aids in recovery from shock. Some people experience pain relief and better sleep as side effects of the treatment (see Testimonials page). Remember, the main purpose of the Stress-Relief Acupuncture treatment is to remind the body how to be in the "rest and digest" mode (aka parasympathetic state). It reminds the body and mind how to come out of the "fight or flight" (sympathetic) mode. The parasympathetic state is essential to quality sleep. Quality sleep leads to better memory and overall body function and strength. Quality sleep is essential to resilience.
*1: Accommodations are made for those who have an injured ear or are wearing hearing devices that obstruct the auricle, as appropriate.
Stress-Relief Acupuncture is used in the De-Stress Vets clinic and other Military Stress Recovery Project clinics across the country.
For information about an even simpler protocol available to corpsmen, medics, and other deploy-able military medical personnel (nurses, physicians, and so on), please see the Acu-tack for Stress Relief and Acu-tack for Pain Relief courses. The Acu-tack courses are designed as a front-line intervention to treat the symptoms of combat stress and pain as soon as possible by putting this simple protocol in the hands of the front-line medic and corpsman. The sooner the cycle of pain, stress, and insomnia can be disrupted, the greater resilience and healing can kick in. Thereby reducing the long-term effects of stress and reducing the occurrence of the related long-term stress reaction disorder, PTSD (post traumatic stress disorder).
Traditional Chinese Medicine and Insomnia or "What is Insomnia?"

Correction (Monday, November 13, 2017): Posting corrected to display proper table in anesthesia GI endoscopy section. We apologize for any confusion the omission of this table may have caused.
On November 2, 2017, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) released its final rule for the CY2018 Medicare Physician Fee Schedule. This 1,250-page rule includes many issues relevant to anesthesia and pain medicine.
The calculations that result in these figures include the positive 0.5% adjustment under the Medicare Access and CHIP Reauthorization Act (MACRA) as well as other statutorily required adjustments. The anesthesia conversion factor also includes an additional adjustment for practice expense and malpractice updates.
A portion of a proposed – now rejected - decrease to the anesthesia conversion factor was due to a CMS proposal to update the malpractice component of the fee schedule . ASA and others objected to CMS’s proposed method and convinced CMS to not implement their proposal which would have negatively impacted every anesthesia service provided to Medicare beneficiaries.
Anesthesia codes 00740 - Anesthesia for upper gastrointestinal endoscopic procedures, endoscope introduced proximal to duodenum and 00810 - Anesthesia for lower intestinal endoscopic procedures, endoscope introduced distal to duodenum have been under review since 2016 based on a significant growth in utilization. These anesthesia codes will be deleted for CY2018 and replaced with five new codes to more specifically describe this anesthesia care. ASA worked in support of appropriate values for each of the new codes.
Deleted codes 00740 and 00810 each previously had a base unit value of 5. For CY 2018, the base unit value for anesthesia for ERCP increases from 5 to 6 base units and anesthesia for other upper GI endoscopy procedures holds its value at 5 base units.
CMS is finalizing a reduction in the base unit value for lower GI endoscopy procedures, going beyond the reduction that appeared in its Proposed Rule for anesthesia for screening colonoscopy. ASA strongly disagrees with this decision, again noting that CMS itself recognized the importance of screening colonoscopy and took actions that included eliminating beneficiary co-pays and deductibles in many cases for both the procedure and associated anesthesia care to encourage patients to undergo these procedures. ASA stressed in multiple venues that increased utilization was not driven by a valuation anomaly but rather by a recognition that these services are so important that patients are encouraged to undergo them through CMS’ own payment policies.
Placement of a non-tunneled centrally inserted central venous catheter in patients age 5 or older (CPT code 36556) was flagged by CMS as potentially misvalued due to high expenditures. CMS concerns about the value of code 36556 resulted in review of this code and three others as they were considered part of the same code family. CMS is finalizing the following work RVUs for these codes.
These services have also been under review and CMS is finalizing significant increases to the work RVUs assigned to these services.
ASA is exploring how CMS intends to notify practices of these rule changes and will produce guidance for members on how to assess the impact of this portion of the rule on practices.
The Medicare Access and CHIP Reauthorization Act requires establishment of codes and modifiers to define clinician/patient relationships and to be used as part of determining cost attribution. CMS proposed the following modifiers to be used on claims for services provided on/after January 1, 2018.

They say that you never get a second chance to make a first impression. That could not be more true when it comes to selling your home. And the message your first impression conveys to potential buyers is long-lasting and can be the difference between selling your house at the price you want, or having it sit on the market for months.
Also be sure to check your home’s exterior at night to see that it is well lit and looks just as inviting as during the day.
It is also important to consider your home’s lighting arrangement. A well lit home appears more happy and spacious.
While it’s important to prepare your house inside and out to be certain you’re giving off the best first impression possible, there are also things you can do to help your real estate professional do his or her job successfully when it comes time to show.
Turn off your TV and radio and be sure children are properly entertained and out of the way. You don’t want any distractions for your agent and prospective buyer.
Eliminate bad odors. Especially if you have pets or smokers in the house, be sure to use air fresheners.
The house should be properly lit. During the day, try to utilize as much natural light as possible. At night, be sure enough lights are on in all parts of the house.
Be sure the kitchen sink is free of dishes and wipe down all appliances.
Make sure all plants have been watered and look healthy. Consider a few fresh flower arrangements .
Leave it to your real estate professional to point out the features of your home, and never apologize for the appearance of your house.
Be sure your agent knows where you are so that you may answer questions, but do not tag along.
Let your agent discuss price, terms, possession and other factors with potential buyers.
Remember that your real estate professional has the experience and knowledge necessary to successfully sell your house. But by taking the time and effort to pay close attention to these details, you can ensure that you are doing your part in creating a memorable first impression and helping your home sell quickly at the right price.
If you live in the San Diego area and are thinking about selling your home, please visit my website, http://carlosgsandiego.blogspot.com, or call me at 858-551-3380.

The Cowboys resigned wide receiver Brian Brown to the practice squad for the 2017-2018 season, while safety Jameill Showers was released from the practice squad.
Before Brown joined the team this summer as a rookie free agent, he spent his senior year leading the University of Richmond football team in all receiving categories. He had 81 catches for 1,485 yards and 11 touchdowns.
Showers, another free agent, met the opposite fate after jumping between positions on the team.
After playing quarterback for the University of Texas-El Paso, Showers was added to the Cowboys in 2015. Although it was speculated that he could have been backup quarterback, he ended up as a defensive back when Dak Prescott came into the spotlight.
The news of this shift broke when Brandon George of the Dallas Morning News tweeted about it Tuesday.

For climbers falling isn’t failing, falling is just part of succeeding.
Innovation is tied to failure, but it’s not tied to death. Why do we fear innovation then?
Think about it, will you lose your life in business? In the short term you might lose comforts, but in the long term what you gain from failure is a sharpened sense of freedom. To do as you wish and not letting others set rules by which you have to operate. Innovation is freedom to do as you wish. Thinking about what you want to see in the world and then going out and creating it, that’s innovation.
A great many people in the history of humanity have pushed fear out of their system and went on to create the world we know see, hear, taste, feel, smell and use. The fear of being wrong, the fear of losing, the fear of rejection. All of these contribute to closing ourselves from the limitless potential each of us has to change the world.
When you learn to accept that fear is present in all of us, a big door will open up and you’ll see the world through a different set of eyes. And when you get to this point, you’ll realize that you don’t have to wait for permission to innovate, you can take matter into your own hands.
UNDERSTAND: Failure is often an idea, not an outcome that stands in the way of successes. The greatest enemy we have as humans is fear. Root it out of your system as soon as you can, attack it. Don’t just do it for you, do it for humanity because we need innovation.
P.S. If you’re serious about ‘taking on your fears’, I recommend you read The 50th Law by Robert Greene and 50 Cent. This book follows 50 Cent’s journey from a drug dealer to the person he is right now, once you read it you’ll see 50 in a whole different light!

Using a pestle and mortar (or food mixer) pound the basil and the garlic until you have a paste. Add the tomatoes chopped into small cubes along with the almonds, a splash of olive oil and salt and pepper. Keep pounding (or mixing) until you have a thick creamy mix (lumps are no bad thing!).
Once the pasta is ready either mix with the pesto straight away and serve, or let it cool, adding a drop of olive oil, add the pesto and leave in the fridge for half an hour. Serve with a crisp white wine.

Why do I still see the Cart widget in the page header even though I have disabled displaying of Cart and Checkout pages?
Probably compatibility version of your theme with this option has not been released yet. You can check it yourself by activating a WordPress default theme such as Twenty Fifteen: you’ll see that the plugin works correctly.
Why can’t I add new products to exclusion chart?
Verify you have enabled exclusion management in “Settings” section of plugin option dashboard. Only then you can add new products to the exclusion chart.
When I activate the plugin, why do I get this errore message: “Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_FUNCTION…”?
This error occurs if a PHP version older than 5.3 is installed on the server, while the plugin requires at least version 5.3.
In addition, minimum recommended PHP version for WordPress is 5.6 (https://wordpress.org/about/requirements/). To avoid the above mentioned parse errore, so, you should update your PHP version.

Totally agree with Springsteen in Italy (or anywhere else). We have been lucky to happen acros some greats in our travels, The Eagles, Bob Dylan, and Elton John, but not The Boss yet.
I just added The Talking Heads…anywhere!!!
Waiting for the Jazzfest lineup….I’ve made a list of who I want to see….

Aim the first bird for the part-open box underneath the bird cages, it should go through them, crashing the cages, releasing the birds and then on to the next set of boxes for extra points. The last birds should then give you a three star rating.
Aim this bird for the middle box on which the first cage is resting, this should knock down the cage and the bird should roll to the box at the bottom of the second structure knocking that down also.The remaining birds help you to get three stars.
The bird here should be aimed at the top of the closest cage to hit the cage and plough through the boxes in its path. This will tumble the structure destroying the remaining cages.
Aim this bird to hit the top of the grey slab on the first structure to topple it, it should then fall to the next, hitting the remaining cages and releasing the birds.
Aim the bird high to hit the top of the silver pendulum, sending the bird to fall to the bird cage on the right and the pendulum to fall to the structure below, toppling the structure and destroying the cages.
Aim the first bird for the side of the first small structure and tap as it flies over the three blocks. This will destroy the first structure and hit out the side of the next.
Aiming higher, the next bird should be shot to hit the top corner of the next structure, destroying it with the birds going through to the last one.
This bird should be aimed to hit the corner of the tallest structure, and tapped to release the extra birds as it reaches the wooden blocks. This should then hit the first cage, the birds flying on to hit the structure and last cages.
This one may take some practice, aim the bird quite high, aiming to hit the top of the grey slab on the highest structure. Then tap as it passes the fan in the background. The lowest birds will then cause some damage whilst the bird at the top will fly through the blue pane holding the grey slabs back. These will fall and destroy anything remaining.
The first bird should be aimed almost straight ahead, directly for the blue brick ahead, tapping the screen as it flies past the door in the background to completely demolish the first structure.
Aiming only slightly higher, the next bird should be shot to hit the closest box, ploughing through and causing the last cage to fall.
This bird should be shot towards the top corner of the structure closest and tap the screen just before it flies past the fan in the background. Aimed correctly, this will topple the first structure, sending it into the second and then the third, dropping all the cages in turn.
Aim the first bird to go through the plank above the first cage and tap just before it hits and it will collapse the first structure and go through the next, leaving just the furthest cage intact.
Aiming the last bird slightly higher than the first, it should hit the bottom planks to collapse the final structure and cage.
The first bird should be aimed just over the cube by the closest planks to shoot through and collapse the whole structure, releasing the caged birds.
Aim the first bird high into the air to go through the lower box on the furthest structure which will shoot through and collapse it on to the first structure.
There should be one cage left at this point so just shoot the last bird directly for it.
Aim this bird directly for the box in the left side of the structure to collapse the whole side.
The second bird is a little trickier and should be aimed high into the air to drop between the remaining two structures and skim the side of the furthest one. This may take two birds to get right. It will take out a supporting plank and collapse it on to the last structure, destroying the remaining cages in the resulting explosion.
Aim the first bird for the blocks holding up the first bird cage which will be destroyed and the bird will fly to the next structure, collapsing that also.
The next bird can be aimed a little higher to hit the middle of the next remaining structure to collapse it.
The last bird can then be aimed for the last structure housing the remaining bird cage.
Go to page 2 for how to get three stars in Theme 2 of Smugglers Den!
Aim the first bird for the chain connecting the two closest cages, it will then hit the structure, weakening the beams.
Aiming the second bird in the same path, it should knock through the structure and the next, destroying each cage. You can still have a 3 star rating if you need to use the last bird to do this.
Aim the first bird for the plank sticking out of the first structure and tap as it gets close. The force should destroy it and push the next structure over, destroying the cage on top.
The second bird should be aimed higher, just above the closest remaining cage, tap before it reaches to destroy the cages in reach, leaving the two at the far end remaining.
The last bird should be shot high to hit the corner of the closest cage, tap as it flies over the rubble and the force will destroy the last bird cages.
The first bird here should be aimed high into the air to fall into the fruit dangling on a chain, then continue into the structure below to collapse the beam and cause the structure to fall on the middle part. Each cage will be destroyed in this process aside from the one to the far left.
The last bird can be aimed directly at the last cage.
Aim the first bird high into the air to go through the chains holding the floating structure to release the caged birds.
The second bird should be aimed slightly lower to do the same to the far floating structure, as this falls the TNT will be detonated and destroy the ground structure. Using the last bird on this level can also give you three stars.
A little tricky to get right, aim the first bird at the middle of the closest side of the structure and tap to destroy the first three cages.
The second bird can be shot a little higher and tapped before it hits the blue square to release the final birds from their cages.
The first bird should be aimed to hit the planks just under the second closest cage, this will fall and rest on the structure next to it.
The second can then be aimed lower to hit the cage closest and fly on to hit the resting structure to topple it, this will have a knock-on effect to topple the rest and destroy the remaining cages.
The first bird here should hit the plank under the closest cage which will release the first birds from their cage.
Aiming a bit higher, the next bird should be sent in the same path to hit the bottom beams, collapsing the structure and leaving two cages remaining.
Aiming in the same direction as the last send the third bird to crash through the boxes and destroy the last cages.
This bird should be aimed low at the box to the side of the structure, tapping to fly through it and take out the beams holding the structure up, collapsing part of it.
The next bird should be aimed higher at the cage resting on a pole to collapse the rest of the structure, leaving one cage remaining at the base.
Use the last bird to hit the last bird cage.
Again, the trick here is to aim the first bird for the box at the base of the structure to fly through collapsing the first two parts of the structure.
Aim the next one high to hit the floating cage and cage to the right.
Lastly, aim this bird for the cage at the base of the last structure, toppling it and the last two cages.
This level is a bit tricky, the first bird here can be aimed at the boxes to the side, it should plough through the side of the structure to collapse the first part.
Now the next bird can be aimed higher to go through the structure and on to the next cage, the last two will then fall as a result of the structure collapsing.
Aim the first bird directly towards the grey plank to knock it into the next structure and collapse into the other structures to the left.
The next bird can then be aimed to hit the closest cage and fly into the next, destroying them both.
The first bird should be aimed to hit the closest cage, as it gets close, tap the screen and the birds will release the first two cages.
The next bird can be aimed for the TNT, ploughing through the boxes, and the explosion will destroy the tallest section.
Finally, the last bird can now be aimed at the lowest cage, pushing the furthest over and destroying the last cages. This can be a bit tricky to do, but even using the remaining bird you can achieve a 3 star rating.
Aim the first bird high into the air so that it falls on top of the lone yellow bird cages alone. This will collapse the structure, demolishing each cage to the left.
Use the next bird to hit the cut out square on the remaining part of the structure to demolish the last cages.
This level proved the most difficult for me, but take the first bird and aim it to hit the lone blue square at the bottom of the structure, tapping it just before it hits to dent the surrounding boxes.
Take the next bird to fly in the same path and go through the boxes, this should collapse the structure and destroy the first three cages.
The last bird should be used to hit the last cage.
The first bird here should be aimed to hit the chain holding up part of the structure.
Aim the next bird for the front of the closest wheel which will result in the destruction of all of the grounded cages, leaving two floating.
The last one can then be aimed high and rip through the first chain holding a cage and fall on to the last cage.

Have you ever had one of those moments when the elements perfectly combine to give you a complete and utter sense of calm and a feeling that all is well with the world? You're driving along a country road, not a single car in sight, the sun comes out from behind the clouds, and then one of your utmost favourite songs comes on the radio (The Killers' Mr. Brightside ... it reminds me of our Las Vegas wedding), and you breathe in, look around you, smile and feel ever so incredibly lucky? Well, that's what happened to me on Saturday morning. I even stopped the car on the side of the road to take this photograph and drink it all in.

You’re frequently interesting and you have great guests.
But why must you be so long? Most of your episodes are over 90 minutes. And as great as your guests are, those 90 minutes aren’t all interesting. I’d love to hear what you and they have to say, but I have a life and a job and a lot of other media I’d like to enjoy.
Normally I don’t recommend committing to a duration in a podcast, but you’re clearly powerless to rambling and you can’t help yourself alone. Your show would be a lot better with a bit more preparation and someone to move it along when the discussion enters a bottomless pit of dull rambling.
Prepare a basic discussion outline beforehand with duration guidelines for each topic, then commit to a 45-minute show.

The Ministry of Defence (MOD) has awarded new contracts to BAE Systems and Rheinmetall Land Systeme GmbH to progress the Challenger 2 Life Extension Project.
The agreements, worth £23 million each, signal the start of the competitive Assessment Phase. We are building the most adaptive force to meet the threats of the future and this phase will enable the companies to develop innovative upgrades which will keep the formidable Challenger 2 Main Battle Tank, crucial for the delivery of a modern ground manoeuvre warfighting capability as part of Joint Force 2025, in service with the British Army until 2035.
Challenger 2 has been in service since 1998 and has proven its worth in combat time and again; most notably during operations in Iraq in the 2000s.
Recent developments in electronics, computing and sight optics mean upgrades to several of the tank’s components are now possible.
The total value of the Challenger 2 Assessment Phase is £53 million. This includes both £23 million Assessment Phase contracts and a further £7 million to cover additional work.
The MOD’s investment will allow BAE Systems and Rheinmetall to undertake technical studies, produce detailed digital models and consider how upgrades will be integrated onto the current platform.
At the end of the Assessment Phase the companies will present their solutions to the MOD for consideration. The Demonstration and Manufacture Phases of the project will follow.
Challenger 2 has a crew of four and carries a 120 millimetre main gun and two 7.62 millimetre machine guns, with a top speed of around 59 kilometres per hour.
It is currently in service with the Queen’s Royal Hussars, the King’s Royal Hussars and the Royal Tank Regiment.

Very difficult to spend this day 19 without remembering the gloriosidad, legacy that the natives of our Continent have bequeathed to us and of course, which stops each country that the Integra represents, more when we perceived that still many governments have not supported to him who are deserved. As we know, the Day of the American Native (or American Day of the Native) every year commemorating Inter-American the Indigenista Congress is celebrated reunited in the 19 Mexico of April of 1940. The congress was summoned in Patzquaro (been of Michoacn) by then Cardinal red president Lazaro, who was descending of natives. In that one congress indigenous representatives of native populations of diverse regions of America participated. He was spoken of the social and economic situation of these towns, their problems and their needs. This conference produced a document that created Inter-American the Indigenista Institute, with soothes in the city of Mexico and employee of the OAS.
Thus the American day of the Indian was instituted, in commemoration a this event. Since then, the American continent celebrates this date in memory of those who inhabited this territory originally, imprimiendo there the first cultural essences. wichilapak.com .a remembers to us, that in that one opportunity met for the first time the representing caciques of the indigenous cultures of our continent, to analyze its present situation and to look for a common way before the adversities that face. In addition, as a result of the meeting it was founded Inter-American the Indigenista Institute, that it has his soothes in Mexico and that depends on the OAS. In Argentina this date after 5 years was clear, by means of the decree N 7550 of the National Executive authority. In addition, in the National Constitution of 1994 (Article 75, interjection 17) party to the indigenous subjects is taken, and in the year 2000 our country has ratified the Agreement N 169 of the IEO, by which the Argentine State recognizes the indigenous towns, among others right, its cultural integrity, its earth, its forms of social organization, economic and political, and the right to maintain its customs.

Abstract : [en] This article summarises a study undertaken to reveal potential challenges and opportunities for using building performance simulation (BPS) tools. The article reviews current trends in building simulation and outlines major criteria for BPS tool selection and evaluation based on analysing users' needs for tools capabilities and requirement specifications. The research is carried out by means of a literature review and two online surveys. The findings are based on an inter-group comparison between architects and engineers. The aim is to rank BPS tool selection criteria and compare 10 state-of-the-art BPS tools in the USA market. Five criteria are composed to stack up against theories and practices of BPS. Based on the experience gained during the survey, suggested criteria are critically reviewed and tested. The final results indicate a wide gap between architects' and engineers' priorities and tool ranking. This gap is discussed and suggestions for improvement of current tools are presented.

With the government shutdown now in its fourth week, the state Department of Human Services is working to distribute February Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program funds earlier than normal.
According to a fact sheet provided by DHS, which administers the federally-funded program, the USDA Food and Nutrition Service is working with states to issue February’s benefits early.
While benefits are typically dispersed in the first five days of the month, approved clients in Hawaii should receive their February benefits today instead.
Those who are currently approved and receiving benefits do not need to take any action, the fact sheet reads.
A recent USDA news release made no mention of funding beyond February should the shutdown continue.

As security people we are used to answering questions such as "Who attacked that system?" with a curt "Oh, it was 10.13.13.13." But is the IP address really a who? No, really, is it? I seriously doubt that an auditor, a judge or a lawyer will agree that "an IP address is a who."
Where am I going with this? I think the time when we start making broader use of identity traceback to link the faceless, inhuman :-) IP addresses to a nice (or nasty, as the case may be :-)) warm-blooded humans, who actually press the buttons and write programs.
administrative privileges such as root) to each individual user." At the same time, one of the DoJ papers on "Computer Records and the Federal Rules of Evidence" mentions this as well in the section on challenges to computer evidence integrity: "Although handwritten records may be penned in a distinctive handwriting style, computer-stored records consist of a long string of zeros and ones that do not necessarily identify their author."
Thus, the identity traceback challenge is not really in the lack of info, but in coming up with ways to link the pieces together in an automated and reliable way.
UPDATE - 7/25/2007: here is another fun blurb on this very subject - "automatically associating learned user accounts with IP addresses. " It does it in a really cool way: "It accepts normalized logs from several dozen different authentication log sources, extracts the user name and originating IP address and then creates a log if the user identity is new, or if an existing "user to IP address" relationship has changed."

I have returned from family vacation rested and relaxed! This past week I was lucky enough to get to spend a week with my parents, aunt, grandpa, and three cousins cruising on the Celebrity Solstice to St. Thomas, St. Maarten, and San Juan. Although I had been all three places before, I still had a wonderful time enjoying the beach and sun with my family :) Here are some photos and a little recap from my vacation. All of these delightful images are courtesy of the family’s official portrait photographer Mom.
Me and my parents at formal dinner celebrating their 38th wedding anniversary.
My boyfriend and I at a tacky sweater party last weekend.
Well, the semester is officially over for me, and the year 2010 is almost over too! I can’t believe it. In about 2 weeks we’ll be ringing in the new year. I know I don’t share a whole lot of personal photos on this blog, because it’s not a diary type of blog, but I thought it might be fun to post a few just to sum up the wonderful year I’ve had. Enjoy!
Apologies again for the bare bones post today… I’m still huddled in the corner of the library meticulously cramming for finals. I have two left and then on Saturday I’ll be hitting up the airport yet again to fly home for vacation! Here are some brief gift ideas for the friend in your life who loves the cold weather (aka, not me) or aspires to be the next Julia Child (aka, double not me.) The top two I actually bought for a friend, although from a gift store warehouse in Texas called Sam Moon where I found both things for about $6 each.
Today’s post will be brief as I’m officially beginning finals week and I’m locking myself in the library until further notice. As we are in the full swing of Hannukah, and Chrismas isn’t far off, here are my top gift picks for your favorite jet setter. My personal rule for gifts is generally that everything should be under $20 (exceptions: parents, boyfriend, best best best friend.) So here are several options that can still be combined without emptying your wallet. Most of these items I saw at a most amazing store (warehouse, really) in Texas called Sam Moon, which sells everything on the planet very cheap. Here are some similar items from various web portals. Enjoy!

Complement 51 (11 dead and 40 survivors).
History Completed in January 1920 as Coeur d´Alene for US Shipping Board (USSB), Philadelphia. 1928 renamed Examelia for American Export Lines Inc, New York.
At 03.44 hours on 9 Oct 1942 the unescorted Examelia (Master Andrew Tulenko) was hit by one torpedo from U-68 about 20 miles south of the Cape of Good Hope, while proceeding on a nonevasive course at 10 knots in complete darkness. The torpedo struck at the bulkhead between the fireroom and engine room. The explosion stopped the engines immediately and caused the ship to sink within seven minutes. 43 of the eight officers, 30 men and 13 armed guard (the ship was armed with one 4in, four 20mm and two .30cal guns) abandoned ship in two lifeboats, four rafts and two floats. The first boat could not be successfully launched and went down with the ship, taking two men along. The other boat capsized because of the rapid sinking, drowning one man. The master, one officer, six men and three armed guards died. Another lifeboat floated free and the survivors righted the capsized boat and distributed the men between the two boats. U-68 surfaced and questioned the survivors before leaving.
The same day, the survivors were picked up by the American steam merchant John Lykes and taken to Port Elizabeth, South Africa from which they traveled to Capetown by train.
On 21 October, all 40 survivors left Capetown on the Zaandam, which was sunk by U-174 (Thilo) on 2 November. 21 of the original survivors died in this sinking. 11 crew members and three armed guards spent five days in a lifeboat before they were picked up by the Gulfstate which took them to Trinidad, arriving on 13 November. Five others in a lifeboat reached the coast of Brazil nine days after the sinking.

The Maine Woodland Owners is the only statewide organization dedicated to supporting the interests and serving the needs of Maine’s family woodland owners -- those owning from a few to a few thousand acres.
Originally known as the Small Woodland Owners Association of Maine, Maine Woodland Owners is a non-profit organization established in 1975. Begun by a handful of dedicated woodland owners, we have grown and broadened our reach to include not only landowners, but anyone who has an interest in Maine woodlands. In 1990, we established a land trust program for working forest land. We accept gifts of land, which we manage sustainably, and conservation easements on productive woodland.
Maine Woodland Owners staffing will consist of an Executive Director, a Director of Communication and Outreach, a Land Trust Forester, and an Administrative Assistant. We also have invested in our development efforts by hiring a development consultant to support us 10-15 hours per week. CFO responsibilities are carried out by the Executive Director. While our experienced staff help landowners with any questions about owning and managing woodland, we remain largely a volunteer organization of several thousand active members. There are ten regional chapters which organize and conduct local educational programs. In total, the ten chapters hold more than 50 workshops and events per year. We are fully engaged at the State Legislature and with our congressional delegation in a wide range of issues including forestland taxation, wildlife habitat and management, public access to private land, the changing wood industry, and environmental regulation. Members receive our 20 page monthly publication – Maine Woodlands – which contains a wide range of topics and the latest news of interest to woodland owners. Our land trust has grown to include 8,600 acres of woodland owned in fee and more than 3,500 acres in easements.
With a recent retirement and staff restructuring, we are now in a position to hire a Director of Communication and Outreach. This is a new position that focuses and streamlines responsibilities in new and exciting ways, and offers a leadership opportunity to coordinate key pieces of our communication, education and membership efforts. This position reports to the Executive Director.

In order to respect PLAYMOBIL® guidelines for fansites, the name was changed, so everything was redesigned.
We would like to take this opportunity to welcome Countess Krystal as a new member of the team.
Every part of the site was modified in some way, though the most obvious addition is the birth of the worlds section, containing searchable information about playmobil® sets.
So, look around, have fun, and let us know what you think!

How to Vacuum During a Flea Infestation | Tractor Supply Co.
FLEA – that dreaded four-letter word that pet parents dread.
According to research done by the Department of Parasitology at the College of Veterinary Medicine at Auburn University in Alabama, fleas spend only about 20 percent of their time on your pet; the rest of their lifespan is spent roaming free in your home. So it’s easy to understand how quickly a flea infestation can get out of control.
If your have carpets, fleas like to reside in the pile, hopping on to your pet for a quick snack and then embedding themselves back in the carpeting. The problem is that it can take only one bite from a flea for a cat or dog to develop allergy dermatitis, causing their hair to fall out. It can also lead to tapeworm, which in turn can cause diarrhea, weight loss and even seizures.
So, strictly speaking, the war on fleas has to be fought on two fronts – on your pet and, more importantly, if you are to win the battle, in your home.
It’s important to remember that people can bring fleas into an environment, too. Even if you see only one flea in your home, it’s important to get to work immediately.
Your not-so-secret weapon of mass destruction: your vacuum.
There are special ultraviolet vacuum cleaners on the market designed to deal with fleas. They use UV light in the “C” spectrum (UV-C) to deactivate the DNA of flea eggs, along with dust mites, bacteria, viruses, germs and molds, thus destroying their ability to multiply. It’s a worthwhile investment if you live in a part of the country that is constantly plagued with a flea problem.
It’s important to get out all the tool accessories that come with your machine so that when you have finished vacuuming floor areas, you can turn your attention to your furniture. Use the crevice tools to get into all the nooks and crannies such as where carpets meet skirting boards, the sides and backs of couches and around the cushions and include all the mattresses, both human and pet ones too.
Once you have finished, remove and throw away the vacuum cleaner bag immediately because the fleas will live inside it.
All pet bedding, your bedding and any cushion covers that are washable should be thrown into the machine on the hottest setting the materials will allow.
Your vacuuming routine should be daily until you are sure the problem is eradicated.
When it comes to indoor environmental control, there are three types of products, namely foggers, inverted sprays, and powders that can be used in conjunction with your vacuuming routine.
It’s important to follow all label directions and ensure that pets are kept off of treated areas until dry and even longer if that’s what the label suggests. If you have an elderly, sick, or debilitated pet, it’s always wise to check with your veterinarian before using any product on or around them. Also remember in a multi-pet household that some products deemed safe for dogs are toxic to cats so be extra vigilant when reading labels.
If you do resort to such treatments, it’s a good idea to steam clean your carpeted areas afterwards – and vacuum again!

What I love about warmer weather is that you can wear a variety of different shoes rather than boots, boots and more boots that I wear everyday of winter and autumn. These vegan flats are a better version of ballet flats. I’m not the biggest fan of ballet flats anymore but I like them if they have straps or ribbons and details like that that spice them up. These Scotti Vegan Shoes flats are really classic and I love to wear them with a classic pair of black pants. They are ethically made in Italy from microfibre vegan leather and antibacterial breathable inner lining so don’t worry about sweaty feet. Scotti Vegan Shoes manufacture sustainably and with a zero CO2 emissions.
I’ve been wearing them a lot. They are very comfortable and made from a thin ethically sourced Tencel fabric rather than thick jeans fabric. Their fit is a classic skinny pant. They are not high waisted so I do recommend wearing them with a thin little belt. Vildnis uses eco-friendly fabrics, produce ethically and are very transparent so they even publish their supply chain and their sustainability goals on their website!
The warm colour is brightening up the mood and is ideal for a day at home. The upcycled designer viscose blend feels comfortable on the skin and is a rather thick fabric so it’s perfect for cuddling up inside and keeping warm without wearing a heavy jacket outside. R.E.V. is a label by the concept online shop Réve en vert and manufacture ethically in East London! Even their labels are made form organic cotton. I have the matching spicy orange skirt and featured it in another blog post here if you want to take a look.

With increasing axial load, the contact conditions in the bearing change. The contact angle and especially the size of the contact ellipses increase, and there may be increased stress at the ring shoulder/raceway transitions. This stress is kept to a minimum for SKF super-precision bearings by appropriate measures, such as rounded and ground transition zones. Even so, the guideline values for the maximum axial load (→ product table) should not be exceeded.

: Invited Competition, September 2010.
The former Armed Defense Security Command, Kimusa has been an anachronistic symbol of Korea’s colonial and authoritarian past, creating an island of austerity and an urban disjuncture within an increasingly vibrant Bukchon community. In place of a single building or an institution, we propose to create a ‘place’, a node, or an urban juncture allowing for a multiplicity of exhibition, exposition, and participation, accessed and experienced from multiple angles and levels; reconnection of the broken streets and alleyways that will speed the regeneration of the vibrant energy around this area.
The exhibition spaces of the new museum is proposed as a series of independent buildings that follows the small grains of the context instead of the big rooms inside the big museum complex. The seven buildings that reverberate the shapes of existing Kimusa building are sited framing a series of distinctive outdoor spaces. The seemingly random placement of 9 buildings including Kimusa and Jongchinbu will be a symbol of dynamic new museum that sustain layers of history and be recreated as a contemporary urban place. This becomes a platform for creative dialogues and spontaneous communications between artist and public.
All of the outdoor area can be approached directly from the street level connecting linear movement from the streets near by that could be naturally led to the museum or simply cut across the site. The open space between 9 buildings provide urban lounge area and exterior exhibition space for various public art projects, media art and performance. Between the buildings oriented south-north direction, all of the outdoor spaces are exposed to abundant sunlight.
The series of exhibition spaces are independent and has distinctive character to adapt to various approaches in contemporary art and provide diverse platforms for every process of creative activities and education. The museum is composed of different exhibition spaces (classic white cube, avant-garde exhibition, installation exhibition, and citizen’s gallery), urban lounge area(café, restaurant, and sky lounge). It provides clear independent route to each selected destination avoiding the dictated routing that can be often found in big museum complex. The main entrance is located in the center of western side and leads to the art platform level below. The art platform is a loose center that allows connection to every building. Then each building has separate access that can be carefully controlled according to the museum’s program or different opening hours. For instance, the Contemporary Exhibition can be approached directly from the Bukchon-gil and Conventional Exhibition from the central courtyard respectively. The Café, the Theater, and Education have clear security zoning for independent operation during museum off-hours.
Freely located buildings will not only visualize traditional landscape of the surroundings from SamChungDong road, but also provide interesting sequences to the sites from entrance of the alleys.
The main entrance endorses free circulation flow into each building through the art platform of the Big Installation Hall. This enables diverse and flexible exhibition. Additionally, individual entrances from various directions allow each building to create independence as an individual gallery.
Diverse sizes of the spaces surrounded by distinctive galleries form attractive exterior space like the traditional art work of Korea. These easily accessible and flexibly connected spaces offer fascinating experiences to the public.
The Art Platform is the center of exhibition circulation located below ground level directly approached via minimal entrance hall on street level. It is a multi purpose open hall that can be transformed into exhibition space itself. The platform area at the theater and education can be separated from the rest of the museum hall for the independent operation of two functions during museum closing hours and dates.
As an urban art museum, MoDo is planned to house more temporary and changing exhibitions rather than permanent collections.
Each building in the new museum is designed to enable diverse exhibitions with distinctive character; various proportions of volume, nature of interior space according to its finish, balance between natural and artificial light, structural components and their usage; all offer a diverse and flexible environment in which to exhibit across a wide spectrum of mediums that encompass contemporary art. Just as important is the consideration of the visitor/viewer. The intention is to give the maximum freedom and choice to the visitor to control the intensity and duration of their encounter.
구 기무사 건물은 한국 군사정권과 권위주의로 대표되는 과거의 상징이었다. 지금도 이 건물은 북촌지역에 유일하게 통과할 수 없는 견고한 요새로 남아 이 지역의 활기찬 흐름을 끊는 단절의 형상으로 자리 잡고 있다.
길을 모은다는 뜻의 모도(募道, Collective Passage)는 새로운 미술관이 여러 각도와 차원에서 접근한 다양한 전시와 참여가 가능한 도시 문화의 중심이 되기를 기대하며, 대지 주변의 단절되었던 크고 작은 골목길들을 연결하여 활기찬 에너지의 흐름을 소통하게 하는 시민들에게 개방된 장소로써 거듭나도록 하는 제안이다.
커다란 대지에 들어설 새 미술관의 각 전시관은 커다란 미술관 내의 커다란 방이 아니라, 옛 도시구조의 아담한 규모를 간직한 주변 컨텍스트와 균형을 이루는 독립적인 건물로 이루어질 것을 제안한다.
대지에 보존될 근대 문화유산인 기존 기무사 건물과 이를 단순한 형태로 본뜬 비슷한 높이와 크기를 가진 일곱 개의 장방형의 건물들이 들어서면서 일련의 외부공간을 형성할 것이다.
언뜻 보기에 우연처럼 보이는 건물들의 배치는 다양한 장르의 예술 활동 간의 창조적인 대화, 예술가들과 시민들 간의 자유로운 교류를 이끌어 내면서 과거의 역사를 보존하되 이를 현대적으로 재해석하는 역동적인 도시 미술관의 상징이 될 것이다. 대지 동쪽에 복원될 종친부 건물은 기존 기무사 건물과 함께 대지가 가진 여러 겹의 역사적 흔적들을 더욱 뚜렷하게 드러낼 것이다. 이들 사이에 모였다 흩어지는 새로운 건물들의 구성은 그 자체가 도시 스케일의 거대한 대지예술 작품으로 읽혀지면서 미술관의 창조적 에너지의 흐름 그리고 과거와 미래가 역동적으로 공존함을 표현할 것이다.
종친부를 포함한 아홉 개 건물들 사이에 형성된 다양한 성격의 외부공간은 모두 도로 레벨에서 직접 진입이 가능하여 주변 길들의 흐름이 매끄럽게 이어질 것이다. 지나가는 시민의 부담 없는 발걸음은 미술관 내를 통과할 수도, 때로는 자연스럽게 전시장 내로 인도 될 수도 있을 것이다.
남향 빛을 필요로 하지 않는 전시동들이 남북 방향으로 배치되어 이들 사이에 형성된 외부공간들은 충분한 자연광에 노출되어 있게 된다.
각기 다른 성격을 가진 외부공간들은 도심 속의 작은 휴게 공간을 제공할 뿐 아니라 공공을 위한 조각 작품이나 미디어 아트, 퍼포먼스 아트 등이 전시될 수 있는 외부 전시공간으로서의 역할을 한다.
새 미술관 건물의 독립적이고 다양한 공간의 구성은 예술 전반에 끊임없이 시도되고 있는 다양한 접근을 수용할 수 있으며, 이에 따른 예술의 창작, 감상, 교육에 이르는 전 과정을 아우르는 독창적인 공간이 될 것이다.
뚜렷한 개성을 가진 다른 성격의 미술관들(전통적인 화이트 큐브, 설치 미술관, 실험 미술관, 시민 갤러리), 도심 휴게공간(카페, 식당, 스카이라운지), 극장 및 교육관 등으로 이루어진 독립적인 개개의 건물들은 흔히 거대한 미술관 콤플렉스가 가지는 미로와 같은 전시동선이 아닌 관람자의 선택에 따른 자유로운 관람동선을 명확하게 가지도록 한다.
미술관의 주진입은 대지 서쪽 중앙의 간단한 진입홀를 통하여 지하공간의 아트 플랫폼으로 인도된다. 아트 플랫폼은 미술관의 중심공간으로서 건물 안의 모든 공간을 연계하면서, 예측 불가능한 현대미술의 요구에 대응하여 융통성 있게 사용될 수 있는 다목적 공간이다. 아트플랫폼으로부터 모든 전시관으로의 직접적이고 쉬운 접근이 가능하지만 미술관의 전시 성격에 따라서 도로레벨에서의 직접적인 진입도 가능하다. 예를 들면 기획전시관동 북촌길로부터, 일반 전시동은 중앙의 중정에서 직접 출입이 가능하다. 카페동과 극장동, 교육동은 명확히 구분된 보안 관리 영역을 가지고 미술관 폐관 시에도 운영될 수 있도록 하였다.
진입 레벨에서 한층 내려오면 모든 전시관을 연결하는 커다란 홀에 이르게 된다. 이 아트 플랫폼은 모든 건물들을 연결하는 역할을 할 뿐만 아니라 그 자체가 전시장이 될 수 있는 개방적인 전시공간이다. 넓은 홀은 부출입구가 위치한 교육동과 극장동 건물과도 연결되고, 뮤지엄 개관시간 외에도 사용될 수 있는 극장동과 교육관이 독립적으로 운영될 수 있도록 두 영역으로 분할이 가능하다.
도시 미술관으로써 모도는 상설전시보다는 기획전시 위주의 운영을 고려하였다. 끊임없이 변화하는 각양각색의 전시 프로그램에 유연하게 대응할 수 있도록 매스, 내부공간의 성격, 재료, 자연광 유입 정도, 기능과 이용 등을 달리 구성하여 계획하였다. 새로운 미술관의 각 건물들은 이질적이고 진화하는 예술의 제작형태와 다양한 표현방법을 수용하기 위하여 성격이 다른 전시 공간들로 계획하였다. 관람자에 대한 배려 또한 중요한 계획의 주안점으로써 작품 감상에 대한 집중이나 감상 시간을 자유롭게 조절할 수 있도록 하였다.

We are having a hard time with our four and 1/2 year old getting up way too early and then he's miserable all day. For instance this morning he woke up at 5:45, came to our bed and didn't go back to sleep until 7:10. He then woke up again at 8:10 which I suppose was good becasue he has to be at pre-k at 9:00. He goes to bed about 8:00-9:00p.m. and does not take a nap during the day. Are we missing something? Do you think he's going to bed too early or too late? We are at a loss and need him to sleep later since his day is so packed and doesn't take a nap.
My four year old goes to bed between 7-7:30pm and usually sleeps close to 12 hours. We are VERY LUCKY, I know. Based on my personal "sleep bible" (Healthy Sleep Habit Happy Child), you should put them to bed between 6-8pm at that age.
Hey sonya...i would try to put him in bed at a routine every night. dinner, bath, book , bed . Make it a ritual and dont be that flexible. Instead of doing it between 8-9, do it at 8. Make sure he sticks with the routine. Kids need at least 12 hours of sleep at night through elementary school to function normally during the day.
Thanks ladies. We do have a set routine and what I meant by between 8-9 is that it takes him that long to go to sleep. He is almost always in bed at 8:00 and sometimes goes right to sleep other times it takes a long time. I agree he needs 12 hours at night I just don't know how to get him to sleep later in the morning.
