G'day team,
Long time lurker, first time poster.
I've done a search, but couldn't find the info I needed. We are about to move into our new build house, which has a minor dwelling attached to the back of it (with a firewall - an actual physical firewall).
Our sparky, clever lad, has run 2 Chorus conduits in the trench outside (praise the lord, given some of the installs I've seen) - and two runs of conduit inside (one to the main house box thingy and one to the minor dwelling box). He's left the conduit with a draw wire, etc ready for Chorus to do their thing.
When we sign up for UFB, I understand Chorus (or whoever) will attach an ETP for our connection, and join the conduit in the trench and the conduit coming out of the house wall to it. No issues there. But my sister's brother is moving into the flat (oh yes, there were words) and he's going to use our UFB account (yes, there were words about that too) - so the flat doesn't need a connection.
(Nearly there) Will Chorus put an ETP on the side of the house to join the "empty" conduits too, or am I faced with having a conduit sticking out of my wall until the flat signs up? Logic says they should put one on (it'll save time later), but I'm worried that the tendency will be to only do the one.

Looking to attend an AI event or two this year? We've listed 20 of the top machine learning conferences in 2019.
The term "machine learning" was first coined in 1959 by Arthur Samuel, a pioneer in the fields of computer gaming and artificial intelligence. It refers to the study of algorithms that computer systems use to perform specific tasks without receiving step-by-step instructions.

Earlier this week, Nissan unveiled its second-generation Leaf EV (electric vehicle) with an improved driving range and a lower U.S. $29,990 starting price. The new model features a 150-mi (242-km) driving range, aerodynamic exterior, roomy interior, and advanced technologies including ProPILOT Assist and e-Pedal. It is the first step in the relaunch of Nissan's EV platform and will be followed in model year 2019 with a higher-performance version with increased motor power and battery capacity.
José Muñoz, Chief Performance Officer, Nissan Motor Co., Ltd. and Chairman, Nissan North America, Inc., unveiled the 2018 Nissan Leaf at a media event at Las Vegas' Thomas & Mack Center, following the Leaf's global launch in Tokyo. "The value equation for the new Leaf is even stronger than ever before—beginning with a starting MSRP under $30,000," said Muñoz. "That's a lower price than the Leaf in the market today and it includes more power, range, and technology—all wrapped in a beautiful new exterior and interior design."
Nissan hopes the redesign can help accelerate its pioneering EV sales effort. To date, Nissan has sold more than 112,000 Leafs in the U.S. and more than 283,000 globally—and spawned a Renault spinoff.
The product development team for the second generation of the pioneering Nissan electric vehicle focused on improved power, range, refinement, comfort, and convenience—and incorporation of the global Nissan Intelligent Mobility initiative that focuses on how the brand's vehicles are "driven, powered, and integrated into society." Headlining the intelligent driving technology are ProPILOT, ProPILOT Park, e-Pedal, and the Nissan Safety Shield.
The Leaf's new ProPILOT Assist—Nissan's advanced single-lane driver assistance technology—helps ease driver workload by reducing the amount of driver acceleration, steering, and braking input needed under certain driving conditions. While it is a "hands-on" system, it previews Nissan's ongoing development of future, more autonomous drive technologies.
ProPILOT is designed for driving on the highway in traffic. When switched on, it can automatically control the distance to the vehicle in front using a speed preset by the driver between about 30 and 100 km/h (19 and 62 mph). It also helps the driver steer and keep the vehicle centered in its lane. If the car in front stops, the system automatically applies the brakes to a full vehicle stop if necessary. When traffic restarts, the car resumes driving after the driver touches the switch again or lightly presses the accelerator.
ProPILOT Park helps automatically control accelerating, braking, handling, and shifting to guide the car into a parking spot, activation requiring three steps. It combines advanced image-processing technology using four high-resolution cameras and information from 12 ultrasonic sensors around the car. All inputs for various parking maneuvers, such as parallel parking, are automated. The system can automatically identify a parking space around the car.
The new Leaf is also equipped with a set of Safety Shield advanced driver assistance systems including intelligent lane intervention, lane-departure and blind-spot warning, intelligent emergency braking, traffic-sign recognition, rear cross-traffic alert, intelligent around-view monitor with moving-object detection, and emergency assist for pedal misapplication.
The e-Pedal, similar to offerings from other EV makers, allows the driver to use the accelerator pedal alone to start, accelerate, decelerate, stop, and hold the car. No brake pedal is needed, with deceleration rates up to 0.2 g, except for aggressive braking situations. Studies by Nissan in Japan, Europe, and the U.S. have shown that the e-Pedal significantly reduces the number of brake applications especially in heavy traffic. It lets drivers use a single pedal for more than 90% of driving needs.
"Drivers of the new Nissan Leaf will quickly come to love the e-Pedal, as it makes the usual experience of urban driving far smoother and more fluid, and less demanding," said Hiroki Isobe, Chief Vehicle Engineer.
The electric powertrain offers improved energy efficiency and increased output. Compared with the previous generation car, EM57 electric traction motor power output is up 38% to 110 kW from 3283 to 9795 rpm and maximum torque is increased 26% to 320 N·m (236 lb·ft) from 0 to 3283 rpm. Driving range is increased by the car's new 40-kW·h lithium-ion battery pack to 400 km (250 mi) by Japanese (JC08) standards—much greater than the 150-mi (240-km) range by U.S. measurements. Zero to full charging time is normally 16 h at 3 kW or 8 h at 6 kW, with 80% under quick charging needing 40 min.
The new battery design adds energy-storage capacity while occupying the same dimensions as that of the previous-generation car. Improvements to the individual cell structure of the laminated lithium-ion battery cell results in an impressive 67% increase in energy density versus the 2010 model. Enhanced electrode materials with revised chemistry also contribute to higher power density and greater battery durability on charge and discharge.
Nissan engineers enhanced the car's chassis for better stability. Heavy components, including the battery, are placed closer to the center of the body, helping to achieve smaller yaw moments of inertia for improved directional stability and smoother cornering. Power steering goals of more linear feel and enhanced road-surface feedback were accomplished with a software upgrade, new control logic working in conjunction with the steering angle sensor, and a 10% increase in steering torsion bar stiffness.
Though inspired by the IDS Concept car from the 2015 Tokyo Motor Show, the production car hews closely to current conventional Nissan product design, with cues such as a V-Motion grille, "boomerang" light signature, and floating roof. A clear-blue 3D mesh pattern inside the V-Motion grille and other blue accents are a nod to EV-uniqueness.
Key Japanese-model dimensions are 4480-mm (176.4-in) length, 1790-mm (70.5-in) width, 1540-mm (60.6-in) height, with a 2700-mm (106.3-in) wheelbase. Curb weight is 1490-1520 kg (3285-3350 lb), and gross vehicle weight is 1765-1795 kg (3890-3960 lb).
Contributions to the car's 0.28 drag coefficient are the underfloor, a diffuser-type rear bumper that also contributes to zero lift, and aero-design wheels. The angle of the front port is reconfigured to more easily and comfortably connect the electric charger.
Along with less drag, aerodynamic upgrades and exterior refinements result in wind-noise reduction, among other NVH enhancements. Other noise reduction measures include optimization of the redesigned inverter's structural rigidity, a noise-isolating cover on top of the power delivery module, and a quieter electric motor.
The interior design is also brought more into line with Nissan convention, but with vibrant blue stitching marking it as a Nissan EV. An analog speedometer is used in conjunction with a multi-information display. The center display is for audio and navigation systems, and it displays Safety Shield status, the vehicle's state-of-charge, and a power gauge. NissanConnect features include continuously updated information on location and operating hours of free charging stations and charging station availability. Apple CarPlay has been added in cars equipped with navigation.
Interior dimensions of the five-seater remain essentially unchanged. However, the rear cargo area has been redesigned to provide increased luggage space of 435 L, according to VDA measurement methods, and a squarer space that can now accommodate two large suitcases or three medium-sized, airline carry-on suitcases.
The new Leaf goes on sale October 2 in Japan, with deliveries in January in the U.S., Canada, and Europe. It will be sold in more than 60 markets worldwide. Nissan plans to start full production of the car by the end of calendar year 2017 at Nissan's Vehicle Assembly Plant in Smyrna, TN, and Nissan Motor Manufacturing (UK) Ltd. in Sunderland, UK, joining the Oppama Plant in Japan in producing the Leaf.

When Annie Kay approached us to build a new site, we knew it was going to be a stunner. She already had the hard part done: good content, a book, services and products galore.
We worked together to find just the right imagery, color, tone, and feel to the site to make it shine but also make it approachable. We wrangled Google Web Fonts and colors to match her products and books, we found photography to bring life and vibrancy to the site and even brought in a great color transparency CSS trick to let some of those images filter through the body area. We imported content from her old WP site and it's now ready to add featured images and excerpts to bring it up to speed with the new site.
The site is a pleasure to look at–and was a pleasure to work on. Keep an eye on Annie for the latest on "Ideas for the Art of Integrative Lifestyle" at Every Bite is Divine.
She's already producing. Her latest post is called, "The mental game of holiday health" and an excerpt:
Navigating the holidays while keeping your healthy lifestyle intact takes planning (of the mental and physical kind), and a compassionate mindset toward your own self-care. Be realistic: aim for maintaining your current weight rather than losing through the holidays, and emphasize the fun side of health whenever it's available – which is quite a bit. Taking walks with family, dancing and playing with the munchkins or fur-faces of your clan are all ways to work a little activity into the party.

text: Teppanyaki is the Japanese style of flat-grilling that offers dines not just the opportunity to taste the food, but to see the process as well. Chefs stand and cook to order, providing meat and fish dishes that come fresh from the hotplate to the, well, plate with the maximum amount of freshness. At Showchef Teppanyaki on Oxford Street in Darlinghurst, they offer a huge array of specialities off their grill: veggies can try the tofu or the mushroom roll, fish lovers will pick from calamari, salmon, scallops, lobster tail, abalone, prawn or baby octopus, and carnivores will take their pick of lamb and onion, teriyaki chicken and steak. There's more than just the grill as well: sushi and sashimi, soups and salad and a huge range of sides – so swing by Showchef Teppanyaki in Darlinghurst for a Japanese feed to remember.

Fetty Wapp put on a show for a crowd of college students during Spring Break at South Padre Island in Texas, but one student claimed he didn't get the show he paid for.
In a video making its round on Twitter Wednesday (March 20), Fetty is confronted by a fan who accused the rapper of ending his set early.
The video shows Fetty approaching a group of fans after he allegedly heard someone in the group yell "Fuck your set." After the initial discussion Fetty began to walk away to avoid any problems but before he left the scene, the fan yelled out that he paid $40 to watch the rapper perform.
That's when Fetty turned around and came back torespond to the fan's accusations. Although his security guard was ready to prevent the rapper from retaliating, Fetty helped defuse the situation by tossing $100 bills at the angered fans.
"How many of y'all it is?" Fetty said as he sorted through his wad of cash…

SEOUL (REUTERS) - The frontrunner in South Korea's presidential election sees North Korea's latest attempted missile launch on Saturday (April 29) as "an exercise in futility", his spokesman said.
"We urge again the Kim Jong Un regime to immediately stop reckless provocative acts and choose the path to cooperate with the international community including giving up its nuclear programme," Park Kwang On, a spokesman for Moon Jae In, said in a statement, referring to the North Korean leader.
"That is a way to save itself, not a way to self-destruct,"Park said.
North Korea test-fired a missile earlier on Saturday, which disintegrated after several minutes into the flight, US and South Korean officials said.
South Korea's presidential election is on May 9.

More homeless families are being denied permanent shelter in New York City, and many are being forced to reapply multiple times before the city finds them eligible to enter the system — two trends that burden already fragile families, according to a new report by the Coalition for the Homeless.
State eligibility requirements have been tightened, a change made in November at the request of the city, which is grappling with a strained shelter system that is struggling trying to meet demands. Though the city recently announced a plan to open 90 new shelters over the next five years, about 18,500 homeless people are temporarily staying in hotels and so-called cluster apartments in the meantime.
In its report, released on Tuesday, the Coalition gave the state and the city near-failing grades on its eligibility requirements, and found that the city could reduce homelessness more quickly than it has promised. Mayor Bill de Blasio has vowed to reduce the number of people living in shelters by 2,500 people over five years, a decrease of 4 percent from the current 60,000 people in the primary system.
According to the report, the city could achieve a reduction of about 25 percent in all of the city's shelter systems by 2020 if the city and state adopted policies to open more affordable housing and rental subsidies for homeless people. "We don't want the expectations to be that we can't reduce homelessness in a meaningful way," said Giselle Routhier, the policy director at the Coalition.
The application process became more onerous after the city petitioned the state to give them more leeway to deny shelter. Homeless people are required once again to provide documentation from multiple sources and are subjected to city investigators. Children often miss school during the application process.
The Coalition found that 42 percent of applying families were approved for shelter in December, a drop from a high of 50 percent found eligible in October. The percentage of families required to apply multiple times also rose to 45 percent from 37 percent from July to December.
KayKay Knight, 32, who has a disk disease, applied for shelter last year when the stairs in her uncle's Brooklyn home became too difficult for her to manage, she said. Ms. Knight, who has a five-year-old daughter, said she was denied permanent shelter roughly 12 times.
She was in provisional shelter while the city investigated her case, and her uncle said he had felt harassed, creating more animosity within her family. "He didn't want me there," she said. "Just imagine how many times they went to his home."
With help from the Legal Aid Society, Ms. Knight qualified in November, moving to a shelter where she can easily access a bathroom.
But Steven Banks, commissioner of the Department of Social Services and former chief attorney of the Legal Aid Society, recalled a family that sought homeless services because a child with physical disabilities could no longer manage in the walk-up apartment where they lived. Mr. Banks said, "You know what? We will spend money on a ramp."
Mr. Banks said the state changes have given the city more flexibility to help people stay with relatives and in previous residences. "Those kinds of interventions were not possible; now they are," he said.
The Coalition still says there is more that needs to be done. The report gave the city poor rankings for failing to adequately meet the needs of mentally ill and disabled homeless people, and said it was unimpressed with its "code blue" policy of broadening access to shelters when the temperature falls to 32 degrees between 4 p.m. and 8 a.m.
Mr. Banks criticized that assessment and said a street outreach program, "virtually 24 hours," was always in place. He also pushed back on other points in the report, saying that the city has found that reapplications were down recently.
Frank Sobrino, a spokesman for Gov. Andrew Cuomo, disputed some of the report's findings as well, and noted that the state has committed itself heavily to affordable housing.
"Advocates by nature advocate, but lies and false reports will not help a single person find a home, unlike the state's all-time high investment in combating this crisis," he said in a statement.

Mobile learning makes us smarter than we think.
"Duh," you exclaim. "Of course it does, Adam. That's why it's called mobile learning."
Hear me out, though.
In his latest book, "Smarter Than You Think," Clive Thompson explores how technology allows us to use our brains in different ways. He suggests letting machines do what they do best, so we can do what we do best.
Capture Accurate Data
The human memory is a subjective, fickle thing.
Thompson says "it's not clear" whether we remember an event correctly, often recalling the gist of the game without details.
"So you imaginatively fill in the missing details with stuff that seems plausible, whether or not it's actually what happened," he writes. "There's a reason we call it 'remembering;' we reassemble the past like Frankenstein assembling a body made out of parts."
He used the example of a lifelogger and researcher, Deb Roy, who captured his son's first steps on camera but "mentally mangled" the actual event when he later recited it back.
"In reality, Roy's mother was in the kitchen, and the sun was down," Thompson says, "but Roy remembered it as his wife being in the kitchen on a sunny morning. As a piece of narrative, it's perfectly understandable. The memory feels much more magical that way."
By using mobile devices and cloud storage at the point of need, we can capture accurate data however we can – by using instant text entry, recording audio of an interview, or filming some happening at the job site. Using smartphones and tablets helps us remember the details so we can instantly report back on the highlights.
Gordon Bell, another lifelogger, and co-author of "Total Recall," appreciates that technology now allows us to trap and retrieve this information.
"'It's a freeing feeling,' he says. 'The fact that I can offload my memory, knowing it's there – that whatever I've seen can be found again. I feel cleaner, lighter.'"
The Art Of Finding
If you record a lot, after several months, you may have amassed an incredible amount of data.
Imagine that you and a co-worker are away from the office about to head into a sales meeting. You want to look up objection-handling techniques real quick, but you can't find the document in your portal right away. Finally, you remember one of the critical keywords in the document's title, search for it using your virtual keyboard, and voila: you're now able to get five minutes' practice in ahead of the call.
We're "slightly less likely" to remember something if we know a digital tool will remember it, according to the results of a grad school student's experiment with her class.
"We are, however, confident of where we can refind it," Thompson writes. "As (the grad student) wrote in a Science paper, 'believing one won't have access to the information enhances memory for the data itself, whereas believing the data was saved externally improves memory because the information could be accessed."
Mobile Learning Gives Us Awareness
Proprioception is our body's awareness of where its limbs are located.
When you eat with a knife and a fork without stabbing yourself in the face that's proprioception, when I practice martial arts and know where my arms, hands, and fingers are at when I'm doing a strike or a joint lock, that's proprioception, too.
"When groups of people – friends, family, workmates – keep in lightweight online contact, it gives us social proprioception: a group's sense of self. Used correctly, social proprioception can make one's work life less frazzled by reducing the constant stream of interruptions. A group that's connected in an ambient fashion can – counterintuitively – spend less time on communication, particularly the writing and reading of endless email."
Hybrid Thinking
Perhaps the most exciting concept in the book is the discussion of "hybrid thinking," where the combination of computer and human thinking is more powerful than either one on its own. That is because computers and humans think in very different ways, and by combining them, we can have the best of both worlds.
As my colleague, Dr. Gary Woodill, suggested more than two years ago, mobile learning is making us smarter than we think. After all, mobile devices are computers at heart, often more powerful than the machines we used ten years ago.
Let us help you get smarter by contacting us for some mobile strategy work.

When my daughter turned 1, people assumed I'd celebrate with a birthday party. On the contrary: I did nothing for my daughter's first birthday. No gifts, no cake, no party. Nada.
Am I a monster? For the record, I did consider doing at least something to mark this occasion, until my husband pointed out the obvious.
"She's 1," he said. "She won't remember it."
I could see his point. The earliest birthday I vaguely remember from my childhood was at age 4, at a fast food restaurant with my nursery school class. I remember blue icing on a white cake, a "behind the scenes" tour of how French fries were made ... but that's it. Or maybe my mind fabricated those memories from photos I'd seen of the event years later.
Whatever the case, the fact remains that I have no memories, fabricated or otherwise, of any of my birthdays before my 4th. And so, it goes to reason that any birthday parties before the 4th -- 3, 2, definitely 1 -- would be a total wash. My daughter wouldn't remember one lick of it. So why drive myself nuts putting some elaborate celebration together?
I know plenty of parents who did just that. One mom I know pulled off a first birthday party that probably ate up more time and money than it took to plan my wedding. Did her 1-year-old care? Not in the slightest. In fact, she was terrified of all the fuss ... so then who, exactly, was this party for?
Let's get real: Birthday parties for 1-year-olds aren't for 1-year-olds. They're for moms. Period. If a mom can throw a great first birthday party, she can feel like she's a Good Mom, and if there are clowns and cake pops, maybe she's even a Great Mom Who Can Do It All.
If you're a mom who threw a big birthday party for your 1-year-old, hats off to you. But if you're a mom who wants to do little or nothing, don't feel guilty or give in to worries that you're being selfish, lazy, or inept. Maybe you share my feeling that kids' birthday parties have just spiraled way out of control. Between the goody bags and the "invite everyone in your kid's class" rule at schools, these parties have become an epic drain on time and finances that many modern-day moms can't afford.
Case in point: You know that mom I mentioned who threw that huge, wedding-level first birthday party for her kid? For her child's second birthday, she did nothing -- she was still burnt out from planning the first! So save your energy, mamas. You're going to need it soon enough.
Did you plan a big first birthday party for your child?

Originally from Colorado, I came to Chile after 7+ years of studying Spanish to become bilingual. But I never knew I'd end up meeting my husband-to-be! We were married twice—in a civil ceremony in Chile in 2008 and then in the big white (& fuchsia pink) dream wedding in Colorado in 2009. It was a dream come true!

I love the color pink, anything strawberry-flavored, spending the afternoon at the dog park with Dulci, traveling and eating sushi. I go to Starbucks often, but especially love going when I feel homesick because the taste of a decaf, non-fat Caramel Macchiato brings me back to Colorado. I tend to be a perfectionist and am most hard on myself. Professional & personal growth topics interest me as do personal finances & taxes. I prefer to speak Spanish over English, absolutely love dancing and I enjoy spending time with the awesome friends I have made here.

By day I work in accounting, but outside of work have interests in healthy living including working out and cooking. I also enjoy event planning and being entrepreneurial. I have always wanted to start my own business, and hopefully sometime in the near future I'll have the first one up and running.

Ian Sullivan, a 51-year-old man from Bootle in Merseyside, is facing jail time after he admitted to carrying out distributed-denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks against up to 300 websites in 2013.
In an advisory posted earlier today, the National Crime Agency (NCA) today said that these targets include the websites of social services, social housing, crime prevention services and multinational banks, although it added that no sensitive data was stolen. This, said the NCA, was because "DDoS is not a form of hacking and does not typically enable the attacker to access systems."
Sullivan was apprehended after a joint operation by the NCA's National Cyber Crime Unit and TITAN, the North West Regional Organised Crime Unit. Investigators linked the DDoS activity to a Twitter handle which had referenced the attacks.
Officers from the Police Central e-Crime Unit (PCeU), part of which was later merged into the National Cyber Crime Unit, arrested Sullivan on 29 July 2013. He is due to be sentenced at Liverpool Crown Court on 1 May 2015.

From The Daily Telegraph
Shooting from the heart
26 September 2002
HOLLYWOOD heart throb Keanu Reeves may have left Australian shores some weeks ago but his influence here goes on.
The Matrix star features alongside a a host of local celebrities lending their support to the National Breast Cancer Foundation (NBCF) in its inaugural magazine Pink Ribbon.
Reeves went out of his way to squeeze the studio shoot, for which he donned a pink ribbon t-shirt, on his last day in Sydney before he jetted home to the US last month.
Deputy editor of the magazine Virginia Webber said Reeves "couldn't have been nicer" and was genuinely interested in the foundation's educational work.
"He actually did it right before he left," Webber said.
"We had a mutual friend who I organised it through.
"The day before he left he rang . . . and said, 'I'd like to be involved in this but I'm leaving town tomorrow'.
"So we pulled it all together in a day."
Reeves desire to be involved in the magazine, which will raise money for the NBCF, was sparked by his own family's cancer crisis.
His sister Kim has battled leukemia for many years and he was set to visit her in Italy after leaving Australia.
"He did it for all the right reasons and he was really keen to know about the project," Webber said.
"It was something he felt very strongly about."
Reeves took the T-shirt with him, so hopefully he'll spread the word even further.
The magazine goes on sale next Wednesday and all profits from its sale will raise money for the NBCF.
Reeves' selfless actions go a long way to disproving the theory Hollywood is all about self, self, self?

Indeed, Mr. Reeves never fails to impress me....Posted by: Rhonda on September 25, 2002 07:00 PM
It's so great that he extended himself to it, rather than the charity having to ask. I think some other "stars" might just not bother in the same situation, yet he went out of his way to do it before he left.
And with him, you just know the gesture is sincere as opposed to PR.

Who Am I Now? Loss of Self after TBI
Who Am I Now? Loss of Self After TBI
Loss of self is one of the biggest hurdles that TBI Survivors face
March, 2018
By Bill Herrin
Click Here to sign up to receive this BULLETIN monthly!
When a loved one dies, friends and family bear the brunt of the loss. There are rituals for their grief and mourning. As they go on with their lives, they hope and often expect that the pain will fade with time. They are often told, "Give yourself time" or "Don't make any major decisions now" and "It will get easier." They are expected to feel sad, upset, and even angry after a death. But they are also expected to move on with their lives, no matter how difficult or painful it is.
Everything Has Changed
But when a person has a traumatic brain injury, their family faces new and different challenges. They have lost many of the things that they knew and loved about the Survivor. Their relationship with the Survivor has changed and so have their expectations and dreams for the future. While the physical, cognitive, behavioral, social and even financial changes may be most evident, there's something else that's harder to define. That's the loss of self that the Survivor of a TBI faces. "Who am I now?" is the critical question. "What gives meaning to my life now?" Then there is the uncertainty of whether it's even possible to reclaim your old life when so much has changed? While most everyone tries to overcome loss of self, some succeed…some cannot.
Necessity is the Mother of Reinvention
Hilary Zayed, who survived her brain injury, knows how difficult finding your new self can be. Her story is one of a huge transition described in her book, Reinventing Oneself After Loss. Her artwork became a vehicle as she explored who she had become since her injury and how she rebuilt her identity, mourning her loss of self, and slowly regaining her new sense of self. Everyone will have different goals and different results. It's not necessarily finding what makes you happy (though it helps), but more importantly, it's finding what gives your life meaning now. This is the first step toward such a huge change. Finding a catalyst that drives you forward toward your reinvention can be incredibly motivating. Think about what makes you feel fulfilled, satisfied and meaningful and consider how that could become a part of your life after TBI.
There is no set timetable or deadlines for reinventing your self. Survivor Garry Prowe's tips on Living a Full Life after Brain Injury, admits that the initial steps to finding your new life may sound obvious – dealing with a roller coaster of emotions, feeling overwhelmed, angry, and depressed along with financial stress, unemployment, social isolation, and life style changes. But the greatest stress may be the uncertainty of the future as the path and extent of recovery is unpredictable. However, the road to reinvention has to start somewhere. It can take months and even years until you feel ready to work on reinventing your sense of self. Once you've been able to self-assess your strengths and capabilities, you'll have a much better idea of your new direction as you begin the process of rebuilding. Prowe's tip card is an inexpensive resource ($1) that outlines the many steps of recovery with contacts/resources/ideas for you. (You can sign up to receive a free catalog and tip card from Lash & Associates – and choose his tip card "Living a Full Life after Brain Injury at this link).
Different Paths for Different People
As life goes on, be encouraged by the many who have been in your shoes and traveled your journey. Jeff Sebell, also a survivor, worked on "getting his power back" after his brain injury by focusing on regaining his self confidence, re-learning how to make decisions, and taking action steps toward living the life he wanted. Sounds simple, right? Of course it's not at all, but Jeff shares an incredibly insightful peek into his "Modus Operandi" in this blog post, and also in his book "Learning to Live with Yourself after Brain Injury." Jeff's take on having a better life is based on how you choose to interpret the things that happen on a daily basis. This can make the difference between having a good day or a bad one. Just using this as a starting point can move your life in a more positive direction! We don't have control over what happens to us, but we can interpret and judge its impact on us – and try to see the big picture. Jeff reminds us that TBI, and loss of self, doesn't have to leave you powerless. Rather you can regain control over your life by working on positivity and determination. The results will follow. Your loss of self will soon become transforming…you'll find that you've discovered your "new normal."
There are no set rules for this rediscovery. We all have very different paths after a brain injury. Some of these paths may criss-cross and you may share common experiences and feelings with other survivors. However, navigating through the maze of traumatic brain injury requires self-determination, finding your strengths, setting some incremental goals for your life, and making the commitment to start working toward them.
Lash and Associates' award winning blog site (on our website) offers hundreds of absolutely free blog articles by TBI experts and clinicians, TBI survivors, and family members that share insights as well. A well-rounded offering of insights from every possible angle – including more on the subject of today's bulletin – loss of self.

Purpose: Hypopituitarism is frequently associated with lifelong replacement therapy. However, it has been suggested that recovery from hypopituitarism after transsphenoidal surgery (TSS) for pituitary adenomas may occur during follow up. The aim of this study was to assess the frequency of hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis recovery after TSS in patients with non-functioning pituitary adenomas and acromegaly.
Methods: Over the 3-year observational study-period, 146 patients underwent transsphenoidal pituitary surgery. The metyrapone test was used to assess the HPA-integrity after 1 week and after 312 months after TSS. The pituitary-thyroid, -gonadal and growth hormone axis were measured one week after TSS.
Results: Patients with Cushings disease and panhypopituitarism were excluded from the study. 44 subjects had a sufficient HPA-axis one week after surgery. 14 subjects with an insufficient HPA-axis were excluded, as the 11-deoxycortisol after metyrapone was <100 nmol/l. Eighteen patients were eligible to re-assess the HPA-integrity. In 10 out of 18 patients, insufficiency of the HPA-axis appeared to be reversible. Eight patients had persistent secondary adrenal insufficiency. The number of other pituitary hormone insufficiencies one week after TSS was associated with recovery of the HPA-axis after TSS.
Conclusion: After TSS, recovery of the HPA-axis over time does occur in a proportion of subjects. Therefore it is recommended to re-assess the HPA-integrity during follow up to prevent unnecessary glucocorticoid replacement therapy. Pituitary adenoma, reversible hypopituitarism, recovery HPA-axis, pituitary surgery, adrenal insufficiency.
Key words: Pituitary adenoma, reversible hypopituitarism, recovery HPA-axis, pituitary surgery, adrenal insufficiency.

Dynamics On and Of Complex Networks, Volume 2
Applications to Time-Varying Dynamical Systems
- Editors
- (view affiliations)
Part of the Modeling and Simulation in Science, Engineering and Technology book series (MSSET)
Part of the Modeling and Simulation in Science, Engineering and Technology book series (MSSET)
This self-contained book systematically explores the statistical dynamics on and of complex networks with a special focus on time-varying networks. In the constantly changing modern world, there is an urgent need to understand problems related to systems that dynamically evolve in either structure or function, or both. This work is an attempt to address such problems in the framework of complex networks.
Dynamics on and of Complex Networks, Volume 2: Applications to Time-Varying Dynamical Systems is a collection of surveys and cutting-edge research contributions exploring key issues, challenges, and characteristics of dynamical networks that emerge in various complex systems. Toward this goal, the work is thematically organized into three main sections with the primary thrust on time-varying networks: Part I studies social dynamics; Part II focuses on community identification; and Part III illustrates diffusion processes.
The contributed chapters in this volume are intended to promote cross-fertilization in several research areas and will be valuable to newcomers in the field, experienced researchers, practitioners, and graduate students interested in pursuing research in dynamical networks with applications to computer science, statistical physics, nonlinear dynamics, linguistics, and the social sciences.
This volume follows Dynamics On and Of Complex Networks: Applications to Biology, Computer Science, and the Social Sciences (2009), ISBN 978-0-8176-4750-6.

Maidan 2.0 Erupting in Ukraine?
US Presidential Aspirants Irresponsibly Bash Putin

Maidan 2.0 Erupting in Ukraine?
by Stephen Lendman
A previous article explained overwhelming anti-regime opposition. Ordinary people are fed up with economic conditions creating enormous hardships – ignored to enrich privileged interests and wage war on Donbass.
Sporadic protests erupted various times before – again Monday in front of parliament violently after police stopped thousands from storming the building, led by Right Sector Nazis, likeminded Svoboda party extremists and other ultranationalist elements.
Whether Monday's violence signals the beginning of Maidan 2.0 remains to be seen. Elements involved include the most extremists segments of Ukrainian society – hooligan supporters of Nazi-era Stepan Bandera's Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists (OUN-B). He collaborated in mass executions and ethnic cleansing.
If these elements gain power, fascist Ukraine on steroids will follow. The entire country could explode in violence – a reign of terror in Europe's heartland, perhaps spilling cross-border, affecting neighboring countries Belarus, Hungary, Moldova, Poland, Romania, Slovakia and Russia, potentially embroiling the entire continent in conflict.
Live fire and a grenade thrown at police exploded during Monday clashes. Reports indicated five or more security forces killed, 10 hospitalized in serious condition, and scores of people wounded.
Internal affairs minister Arsen Avakov reported 100 or more injured, likely many more casualties if disruptions continue.
Dozens of arrests were made. "Investigation and punishment are inevitable," said Avakov. "Around 30 people are detained. There will be more. The person who threw the grenade has been caught. Grenades have been seized, including an F1 maximum destruction grenade."
Russia's lower house State Duma International Affairs Committee chairman Alexey Pushkov commented on Monday's riot saying:
"(Ultra)nationalists in Ukraine want to assert full and unquestionable power of radical forces. (N)either Merkel nor Hollande nor the Minsk agreements will help."
Poroshenko "has to maneuver. He has to show Europe that he controls the situation in the country. However, I think that he can manage it less and less. And today's events in Kiev demonstrate that (he) does not have complete control over the situation."
He may be losing it altogether. He's an impotent puppet taking orders from Washington. Pushkov expects continued deterioration.
"The Kiev regime will try to prove that Ukraine is a European country ready to accept the so-called European values," he said. "But the Right Sector and the Svoboda party and other ultra-nationalist groups using Nazi ideas are not ready to accept the so-called European values."
"They are ready to fight only for ultra-nationalist dictatorship in Ukraine. Here, I see a considerable conflict potential between Poroshenko and" and anti-regime elements.
Their alleged anger over constitutional decentralization amendments is misguided. They reject special status for Donbass. Poroshenko was clear in opposing it – flagrantly violating Minsk terms.
Whether turbulence in Kiev can be contained remains to be seen. Maybe Monday's eruption is the start of something bigger.

Kim Kardashian has announced her first collaboration for KKW Beauty with her makeup artist of a decade, Mario Dedivanovic. Kardashian posted a black and white picture of an eyeshadow palette to KKW's Instagram account with the caption, "After 10 years of working together, my collab with @MakeupByMario will be launching and we can't wait to share it with you! #KKWxMARIO."
It's unclear whether the collaboration will include just the one product or be more extensive, but regardless, we're sure the product will be an instant sell-out.
KKW beauty's debut collection sold out within minutes when it launched on June 21, 2017 and brought in $13.5 million in sales that day. Her fragrance, which launched in November, netted $10 million within the first 24 hours. That's the Kardashian effect for you!
Dedivanovic, known on social media as @makeupbymario, is also on track to have a mega year. Kardashian enlisted the pro to be a celebrity judge on her new TV series on Lifetime, entitled Glam Masters. He'll star alongside Milk Makeup co-founder Zanna Roberts Rassi, beauty influencer Kandee Johnson, and actress Laverne Cox.
The show premieres on the network on February 28th.

Canyon Creek
This small creek, which feeds into a larger creek, is a hidden gem in our canyon open space - a place for quiet contemplation. Although heavily forested, the light of the sun does shine through, magically lighting up the ferns and other vegetation. Especially after the first rains of fall, I love the brilliant emerald green shades of moss and ferns, contrasted against the golden colors of fallen leaves, and the deep reddish brown earth tones. To begin painting, I underpainted the background in pinks and mauve as a complement to all of the greens.
Though the original is in pastels, the fine art giclee reproduction is done on the highest quality satin finish canvas, and therefore looks very much like an oil painting, with deep and brilliant color. You have your choice of sizes.

xxxpicz.comAudio Review
Porn picture heaven
Whether you're just a little disappointed with videos recently or have bandwidth restrictions, porn in image form can be a great way to go about chasing that nut. Today I'm shilling for XXX Picz, a website that seeks to provide you with erotic photography from multiple different niches in the porn world at a single location. It's a decent looking hub, but what's the experience like if you stick around for any real period of time? Read below and I'll tell you!
Free erotic images on tap
You'll notice immediately along the left-hand side of the page that XXX Picz has a number of different niches, including the classics like Asian, ass, ebony, feet and MILF: you've even got some less than popular categories here, including panties, pale and hentai. I'm personally of the opinion that perhaps this section could be refined a little, but it's not my site so I'm not going to complain too much about the relative lack of depth when it comes to the porn image categories.
After selecting a niche, you'll be taken through to an archive page that displays dozens of images focused on exactly that. I went after 'Asian' and liked the mixed bag of material that resulted: we're talking interracial cock sucking of Orientals who love black meat, a guy masturbating on a Japanese train in a candid public exhibition session and a group of hot Asian pornstars working together to deliver one man the ultimate Eastern gangbang. I even noticed some Indian and Korean action – it's always nice to get a mixed bag from your image index of choice.
Sexy snaps are your friend
Clicking in the thumbnail brings up a lightbox of the image in its full resolution although sadly, you can't use left and right to navigate the rest of the snaps because that function currently appears to be broken (it doesn't stay in the same category and shifts the page). One benefit is that you can easily save the picture to your PC though, so that's nice.
Ultimately, I think that XXX Picz is good enough to have on my list of good porn picture sites, but it needs some work before it takes a top spot. What niches it does cover are covered well, I'd just like to see some interface improvements before I considered moving it up on my list.

I recently received this e-mail from the
Ovarian Cancer National Alliance
"The staff and board of directors of the Ovarian Cancer National Alliance were saddened to hear of the passing of Linda Koteen last month. Herself a breast cancer survivor, Linda was a tireless advocate for women with ovarian cancer. She served on the Alliance's board of directors from 2002 to 2010.
'This is a big loss of one of our great leaders, she will be missed by so many and long remembered for her tireless work and support of our community,' said Calaneet Balas, CEO of the Alliance.
As chair of the Alliance's advocacy committee, Linda was a champion for our annual "Hill Day," urging women affected by ovarian cancer to visit the offices of their members of Congress. Linda made sure the patient's voice was heard on Capitol Hill.
Linda became involved with SHARE, a Partner Member and founder of the Alliance, after her own diagnosis with breast cancer. She later became Director of Ovarian Programs at SHARE and served as a voice for women with this disease.
The Alliance will honor Linda during our 16th Annual Conference this July."
I assume that the Ovarian Cancer National Alliance is not using the passing of one of its members for an e-mail campaign, rather has sent this e-mail because of my involvement with the cause of ovarian cancer.
I am therefore reaching out to the Ovarian Cancer National Alliance to join forces and ask for their support of The Beljanski Foundation and the promising research program on ovarian cancer. The first publication released by Kansas University Medical Center on ovarian cancer cells was very promising, and The Beljanski Foundation has since been able to secure funding for an in vivo research program. A second article describing the impressive results on mice has now been accepted, and will soon be published. All that without any support so far from the Ovarian Cancer National Alliance.
I sincerely hope this will change, and that the passing of Linda Koteen will encourage every body to learn about and support the promising research programs that stem from the late Micro Biologist, Dr. Mirko Beljanski's scientific legacy.
To learn more about the research conducted at The University of Kansas Medical Center, how you can make a difference, and ways to stay up to date on The Beljanski Foundation, please visit us online at www.beljanski.com.

Would the real Batman please stand up?
If you haven't checked out Batman Unmasked: The Psychology of the Dark Knight on the History Channel yet, definitely do so. It will be replaying on Monday, July 21 at 10:00 pm and Tuesday, July 22 at 2:00 am. Check your local listings for the right times though, of course.
My good friend Kate taped it for me, and it was really interesting. It's an hour-long and a documentary-esque type feature that accurately analyzes the character and psychology (obviously) of Batman and Bruce Wayne—as well as his villains—through both comics and the two movies, showing clips from each. Plus, it makes parallels between the characters and actual historical individuals. Pretty awesome.
UPDATE: By the way, the History Channel will also be showing Batman Tech—a close look at Batman's gadgets and Batcave technology—again on July 21 at 9:00 pm and July 22 at 2:00 am (double check your local listings). I haven't watched it, but I'm hoping my friend can tape it for me. I'm sure it's good.

Sounds killer, I love stuff like this. I'm going to check it out and DVR it. TDK was ridiculously good, however, the Marvelite in me HAS to say that Iron Man was a bit better. Not a lot, just… better.

Wow, as this sensual little number gets fucked with her legs behind her head, her breasts are moving around side to side and back and forth! The bozo grabs them while he is doing her and licks her protruding nipples, while she moans. He can see her green eyes every once in a while when she blinks. Her mouth is held open and he can see her tongue when she is screaming. Those red lips would look superb on his erect cock, he thinks to himself. Maybe she is freak enough to blow on his tool after he has gotten it erect of her own pussy juices. She would probably love the way she tastes. It is sweet, and tangy. He loves it when slutty chicks get their cream all over his cock. Some chicks are embarrassed to let the bozo see all this cream, but it only means that their pussy is long overdue for some good love making! He holds one leg up over his shoulder, and he is looking at her face as she gets fucked. Her pussy hole has been stretched wide open now, and he really loves the way it wraps around his shaft.
