When I moved here for an internship my junior year of college, I was the queen of dating apps. I really only used Bumble (this was pre-Hinge) and found pretty decent success. I was broke and knew absolutely no one so dating apps were fun when I was bored and wanted to do something in the city. I also lived in the East Village, which is prime for dating and going out in your 20's. It gave me some much needed distraction and hey, summer of fun in the city.
In college back home, I never used them. I had enough success—or should I say I had enough "distractions" going out to bars that I really just didn't need them. I definitely used them when I was bored and needed a confidence boost, but never really dated anyone from them. I always felt like I had to be constantly talking to someone, so any lull in my boy-craziness needed to be filled with a stint on a dating app that I would give up a week later.
Since moving here, I picked it back up again. I would say 9 out of 10 times are usually a bust. Since I actually live here now and it's not just a summer vacation, it's almost a chore. Out of the dates I've been on in the last year, only 2 have made it past the first date and only 1 further than that. I was listening to a podcast and a comedian said it best, "I don't use dating apps because the "vibe" I give off online is not really me. You don't usually like someone just based on pictures, it's peoples energy." I try way too hard on dating apps to sound funny and original, therefore I look like a weirdo. I try to match with people who also sound funny and original on dating apps, therefore I match with guys who aren't my type more often than not. No idea why that is.
I'd first like to point out some weirdos and just general funny stuff that seems to happen only on dating apps. Ladies, read it and weep—with laughter:
First, let's start off with some weird trend I've been noticing (that definitely need an explanation and a cease and desist):
When answering the question "The last time you cried was…," an ALARMING amount of men have said the movie Click. If you don't know what I'm talking about, it's that really horrible movie with Adam Sandler aka basically every movie he's in ever. The fact that enough men are crying during this movie that I've noticed is so horrible I don't wanna think about it. Adam god-damn Sandler, I can't.
When asked about their last meal, chicken parmesan is a very popular answer. I think I've eaten that once in my whole life. Not a bad choice, but so weird. I guess it's better than saying pizza, but really only one step up.
Job title as "looking" or "entrepreneur" translates in my brain to "unemployed and will take you to a dive bar and split it." Just make something up related to what you do or put what you WERE doing, duh.
Linked Instagram accounts: mixed feelings about these because sometimes they add more pictures of the guy. HOWEVER, some people should not. For example, if your entire Instagram is you doing "motivational" videos. I also ran into a guy who had an entire Instagram of….boats. Like maybe keep a little mystery going into date 1, just a thought.
Here's some gems I managed to screenshot and am very happy I did:
Lastly, I'd like to say that men are still out here, in 2018, thinking selfies are okay. They are not. Please, please stop taking shirtless pictures, pictures in your car (???), pictures in your bathroom mirror with your leg on the sink (this is a real picture I saw of a guy who had the AUDACITY TO MATCH WITH ME. If you want to see it DM me). I know for a fact your mom makes you take pictures every Christmas, your fired who are girls take pictures of you or get your bro to take one I DONT CARE. No selfies in 2019 thank you.
Needless to say, I deleted them all recently. I think it's a good idea to take breaks from dating apps. I haven't in a while and I have to say I really don't miss it. If it gets monotonous, delete it. You don't need to waste energy and good makeup on a boring date! All the power to you if you like them and you met your boyfriend/husband/soulmate, but I'm tired and its getting cold as hell. I'll be watching Christmas movies and hanging with my friends until further notice.

Archbishop Russell's ordination an historic moment for Boston Archdiocese
SOUTH END -- After spending many years serving the Church abroad, Archbishop Paul F. Russell returned to the Archdiocese of Boston to be ordained an archbishop by Cardinal Seán P. O'Malley in the Cathedral of the Holy Cross, June 3.
Archbishop Russell, who was born in Greenfield, Mass. grew up in Michigan and attended St. John's Seminary in Brighton, was named titular archbishop of Novi and apostolic nuncio (ambassador) to Turkey and Turkmenistan by Pope Francis on March 19.
Prior to his ordination, Archbishop Russell served at the Vatican and at nunciatures in Ethiopia, Turkey, Switzerland, and Nigeria before being named head of the Vatican diplomatic mission in Taiwan in 2008.
His ordination served as a historic moment for the Archdiocese of Boston, as he is the first priest in the archdiocese to be ordained for service as a nuncio in the Holy See's diplomatic service. In addition, he is the first bishop to receive all three of the orders -- deacon, presbyter and bishop -- of the Sacrament of Holy Orders at the Cathedral of the Holy Cross.
Bishops and priests from across the country attended the ordination. In addition, Greek Orthodox Metropolitan Methodios was present as a representative of Bartholomew I of Constantinople.
Co-consecrators were Archbishop Allen Henry Vigneron, the Archbishop of Detroit, and Archbishop Leo William Cushley, the Archbishop of St. Andrews and Edinburgh in Scotland.
The Rite of Ordination began with the presentation of Archbishop Russell to the cardinal and the reading of the mandate from the Holy See, before the cardinal delivered his homily.
"Pope Francis is aware of the many hardships and dangers in your way of life. In addressing the nuncios of the world, the Holy Father describes your life as nomadic, going from one country to another, each with differences and with challenges," Cardinal O'Malley said in his homily, which was largely addressed directly to Archbishop Russell.
"As a nuncio you are to be a pastor. Your role is to encourage: to be a minister of the communion and mercy. Today marks the day of a special vocation, you are called to the episcopate, so as to enhance your ability to make the pastoral love of the good shepherd more visible in your ministry in the service of the Holy Father and the Church," he continued.
In his homily, Cardinal O'Malley spoke of Pope John XXIII, who had served as an apostolic delegate to Turkey, Greece, and Bulgaria, and as apostolic nuncio to France before becoming pope.
"We pray that the good Pope John will intercede as you fulfill the same role as an ambassador for Christ and a representative of Pope Francis, bringing his 'tenerezza' and 'vicinanza,' his tenderness and closeness, to the people of Turkey," he said.
He noted that Archbishop Russell chose for his motto "Cor Ad Cor Loquitur," or "Heart Speaks to Heart."
"Let Christ's heart speak to yours, make his sentiments your own, so that you too will be a reflection of Christ's pastoral love. Learn from him who is meek and humble of heart. Be consumed by thirst for souls, and the desire to rescue that lost sheep who has strayed the farthest," Cardinal O'Malley said.
The Rite of Ordination continued following the homily, with Cardinal O'Malley questioning Archbishop Russell on his resolve to uphold the faith and to discharge the duty of service in the Church.
After answering the affirmative to the cardinal's questions, Archbishop Russell lay prostrate in front of the altar as the litany of saints was chanted.
The rite continued with the laying on of hands by Cardinal O'Malley, Boston's auxiliary bishops and visiting archbishops and bishops from other dioceses.
Cardinal O'Malley, aided by two deacons, then placed the open Book of the Gospels over the head of Archbishop Russell and prayed the Prayer of Ordination.
The cardinal then anointed the head of Archbishop Russell before presenting him with the Book of Gospels and commissioning him to evangelize with great patience.
The newly ordained archbishop is given the ring, the miter and the crozier. The ring symbolizes fidelity to the Church, the miter symbolizes an "unfading crown of glory," authority like that of the high priest in the Temple of Jerusalem, and the crozier symbolizes the "shepherding" duty of the bishop to the "flock" of the community.
Afterward, the bishops present welcomed Archbishop Russell into the College of Bishops with the sign of peace, the fraternal kiss.
Before the final blessing, Archbishop Russell spoke to the congregation and thanked his fellow priests for their support.
"I am proud to be a priest of the Archdiocese of Boston. This is a great archdiocese. Although, as God would have it, almost all my priesthood has been serving the Church outside the archdiocese, I am always one with you in your joys and your sorrows," he said.
"I am grateful to the many faithful, selfless, dedicated priests of Boston, who taught me by word and example, as well as to my priest friends from this archdiocese... And I am grateful to priests from Michigan and other places who have been my true brothers," the archbishop continued.
He offered thanks to his fellow bishops, as well as Pope Francis.
"You inspire me by your selfless dedication to the needs of your flock. Sometimes, in very challenging and difficult circumstances, I ask the lord to give me the grace to imitate your example," Archbishop Russell said of the bishops.
"I am grateful to Pope Francis for his trust and confidence in me. My appointment to Turkey and Turkmenistan is a concrete sign of his respect and esteem for those two countries and peoples... It will be an honor and privilege to do whatever possible to assist Pope Francis in his concern for the local church and the people of Turkey and Turkmenistan," he continued.
Following the ordination, Paul Loverne of New Hampshire, a friend of Archbishop Russell, told The Pilot he has known the archbishop for years.
"He was a priest at my grandmother's funeral 25 years ago, and we've been connected ever since... He's been a friend of the family."
He said the ordination was "spectacular," and called it a "once in a lifetime" event.
It was "nice to see (Metropolitan Methodios) sharing in the celebration," he said, noting it was "definitely a global event."
Archbishop Russell's first cousin, Tim Fitzpatrick of Michigan, attended the ordination with his family, and said it was Archbishop Russell's mother's 89th birthday that day, as well as the birthday of another one of the archbishop's cousins.
He told The Pilot he and his family enjoyed the ceremony.
"The ceremony, I've never seen anything like it before. It's a beautiful facility, it's a beautiful ceremony, and we really and truly enjoyed it," he said.

Spanish court upholds Mullera's ban for missing doping test
MADRID (AP) Spain's court of arbitration for sport has upheld steeplechase runner Angel Mullera's two-year ban for failing to appear for a scheduled drug test.
Spain's anti-doping agency says the suspension, which began from the day of Mullera's missed test on July 16, 2015, will last until July 16, 2017.
Mullera won bronze in the 3,000-meter steeplechase at the 2014 European championships. He is also Spain's three-time national champion in the event and competed at the 2012 London Olympics.
Mullera hasn't competed since the suspension began, meaning he won't have any results voided.

For days, New York's tabs could hardly contain their glee over the impending death of Palestinian leader Yasir Arafat. "May he rot in peace," was the Daily News' editorial get-well card on Monday. On October 29, Arafat's transfer to a French military hospital combined two of the Post's favorite targets, producing a leader titled "France & Arafat: Perfect Together."
So, when the terrorist and Nobel Prize laureate was finally exiled to that big Ramallah compound in the sky, it was little surprise that neither paper wept. Nor did they — or other media outlets — abandon an oversimplification that has become quite popular: that Arafat turned down the deal of a lifetime at Camp David in 2000.
The Post's cover proclaimed "ARAFAT DEAD and he won't be missed," and inside catalogued the "Life & crimes of a leader who rose on myth and lies." The Post even got a chance to use that most awkward of News Corp. watchwords, "homicide bombing" — suggesting that Palestinians in the mid-1990s were the first to use bombs to kill people (Hiroshima? That was just for show). At the Daily News, Zev Chafets led the eulogizing, saying Arafat, among other misdeeds, "peddled Holocaust conscience balm to Europeans" and sold "false hopes to the Israelis."
Both tabs at least nodded to the complexity of Arafat's life and the world he left behind. The Daily News ran a lengthy bio piece, and even the Post allowed in its editorial that Arafat "kept the Palestinian cause alive, serving as a living symbol of its revolutionary fervor."
The Times' coverage stressed the leadership vacuum left behind in Arafat's wake, printing a "who's who" of potential successors. In a brief editorial, the Gray Lady praised the quick agreement by Israeli and Palestinian leaders on a burial site for Arafat, seeing hope for peace in their newfound cooperation. The Times expanded its coverage Thursday morning on the Web, posting an obituary by Judith Miller, the paper's WMD grand dame.
With the news of Arafat's death breaking just before 11 p.m. Wednesday night, late-night local newscasts jumped on the story, with WNBC offering the most extensive coverage — after anchor Sue Simmons asked the control room to, "Roll the prompter, please." A lengthy bio reported by Gabe Pressman followed, and then Simmons and partner Jim Rosenfield conducted phone interviews with New Jersey-based Arab American advocate Hani Awadallah and Middle East expert Stephen Cohen.
From print to tube, almost all the coverage painted Arafat as a flawed and, ultimately, failed leader — and depicted the collapse of the Camp David summit in July 2000 as the climax of that failure.
The conventional wisdom is that then-Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak offered Arafat a dream deal that included the lion's share of the West Bank and a Palestinian capital in Jerusalem, but Arafat turned it down. That led to frustration in the Palestinian street, which spiraled into violence that caused thousands of Israeli and Palestinian deaths and triggered Arafat's isolation by Prime Minister Ariel Sharon (Barak's successor) and President Bush.
But that popular version of Camp David glosses over a few fine points, according to former U.S. diplomat Robert Malley, who wrote in August 2001 that the debacle at Camp David was as much a product of Barak's failure to fully implement earlier accords, his close-to-vest negotiating style, and his domestic political concerns, as it was the fault of an intransigent Arafat.
So it may have been more complicated than "BARAK: Yes? ARAFAT: No!" But Arafat's "No" is what stuck on Thursday, the Times' Miller describing the PLO chief as "a leader who rejected crucial opportunities to achieve his declared goal." Observers closer to the olive groves and settlements over which Arafat fought and negotiated, however, embraced the complexity. "Even to his many acquaintances," wrote Danny Rubenstein in Haaretz, "Yasser [sic] Arafat remained largely an enigma."

#WowSummit 2014- Recap
Posted by Heather at Monday, November 10, 2014
#WowSummit 2014 at Caribe Royal Hotel and Convention Center.
I just returned from my first blogger conference, hosted by Moms Meet at the beautiful Caribe Royale Hotel and conference center in Orlando FL. It was a whirlwind trip to the Sunshine State with my little travel buddy, Katy.
Best Little Travel Buddy.
(Officially!) Blogger ;-P
This was my first conference as a "blogger." I've been a Mom Ambassador and Mom Blogger for Moms Meet for over a year, now, but I have never actually attended a blogging conference, before. So, I didn't really know what to expect. Well, what I got in return was so much more than anything I could have been prepared for! It was an uplifting, enlightening and empowering weekend of hope, joy and sense of camaraderie as women, as mothers and yes, even as bloggers.
We had some really great speakers talk to us throughout the weekend. Just to name a few; Robyn O'Brien help shed light on the changing landscape of the health of our families, Suzy Stauffer helped us find the balance between being a mother and a woman with hopes and dreams of her own, and Aviva Goldfarb showed us quick and easy ways to get dinner on the table without the proverbial six o'clock scramble.
In addition to the speakers, we also had break-out sessions that touched upon various aspects of motherhood, blogging and health. From holiday planning with title sponsor, Zevia to helping our families navigate cold and flu season with title sponsor, Flu Nada, a wide range of topics were discussed.
When the conference attendees weren't in break-out sessions, or listening to speakers, we had the opportunity to sample our way through a ton of great, green, family-friendly products for our health, families and home. Lots of fun!
On the last day of the conference, I was able to attend the blogger lunch. Lots of fun connecting with other women and bloggers.
I had such a great experience at the #WowSummit 2014! I made lots of new connections and learned a lot of wonderful information. I will definitely consider attending #WowSummit 2015 (possibly on the West Coast?!?), next fall!
#WowSummit 2014 Sponsors
Soo, soo, so much fun! Thank you so much to the all the sponsors, speakers and especially Moms Meet for putting on such a great conference!

Aya Madany is simply a legend in modern pentathlon in Egypt and Africa. She scored many global achievements that made the world finally be convinced that sport modern pentathlon is not limited only to Europeans, but Africans also can fight world champions in this game.
No other civilian has been credited in introducing this sport to the Egyptian people despite being long ignored by the media and despite being added to the Olympic program since 1912 and became her regular competitions since 1949.
In this page, We introduce the achievements of a legend in the field of modern pentathlon world who retired this year :
1. She won silver at the World Junior Championships 2002
2. She won the World Junior Championship gold medal in 2003
3. Won a World Junior Championships gold medal in 2004 and participated in the Athens Olympics and is the only 16-year-old who also won the gold medal in the African Championship for adults in the same year
4. Won a World Junior Championships gold medal in the 2005 World Youth Championship silver in same year
5. Won the gold medal at the 2006 African championships and World Junior Championships gold medal and in the same year she also won the gold in the World Cup series for adults in England and the second in Egypt
6. Won gold medal in the African Championship in 2007 and the bronze World Cup in Egypt in the same year before winning gold in World Cup final in China, the second biggest tournament after the World Championships
7. She won silver medal in the World Championship in 2008 and a gold medal in the World Junior Championship in the same year. She also won the gold medal in the World Cup in the Czech Republic and silver medal in the World Cup in England, before she achieved eighth place in the Beijing Olympics which is the best achieved by any African player in the modern pentathlon in the Olympics.
8. Won the seventh place at the World Championships 2009, silver medal in the World Cup in Egypt, Gold medal in the World Cup in Italy, in Mexico and in Brazil, and ended the year with the gold medal of the World Junior Championship in Chinese Taipei.
9. Won the 4th place at the World Championships in 2010, won a bronze World Cup in Egypt, won 6th place in the World Cup finals in Russia, and won the fourth place at the World Cup in Mexico.
10. Won the world cup gold medal in Hungary in 2011.
11. Won the fourth place in the World Cup in Brazil in 2012 where she suffered an injury that later affected her performance at the London 2012 Olympics.
12. Scored medals in all the international tournaments organized by the International Union of modern pentathlon except for the Olympics.
Aya Madany also exceled in her education in the same manner she did in sports. She holds an undergraduate degree and a master degree in Logistics of International Transport. She is now one of the TAs at the college of International Transport and Logistics.

Politics of Thursday, 31 May 2012

The National Health Insurance Authority (NHIA), has defended the insurance capitation system, insisting that, it has cut down waste.
Mr Eric Ametorquame, the Deputy Director of Corporate Affairs, said it has stopped unnecessary claims payment.
The capitation is being piloted in the Ashanti Region and has met some resistance from both service providers and the general public.
A number of private health facilities have vowed not to be part of its implementation.
Addressing a stakeholders' forum at Nyinahin in the Atwima-Mponua District to help the people to have better understanding of the new payment system, Mr. Ametorquame said it has helped the authority to determine the number of patients attending a particular facility and how much to pay.
He said they would continue to engage the stakeholders and find a common ground to address their concerns.
Mr. Samid Baba, Atwima-Mponua Mutual Health Insurance Manager, said a total of 40,536 out of the 43,233 insurance card holders in the area have enrolled for the capitation.**

Consider the ring labeled "Perfect-7-3." Let us number the small circles clockwise starting from the top center. Then observe the two connected line segments, labeled 1 and 2. Those numbers represent the amount added to locate the next spot. These line segments are a generator for the Perfect-7 chart. This generator is depicted as "{1,2}"
Observe that in its present position, it "marks" spots 1, 2 and 4. Now, pick up the generator and position the other end of the first segment over spot #1. The generator now marks spots 7, 1 and 3. Finally position the far end of the second segment over spot #1. The generator now marks spots 5, 6 and 1.
These segments form a valid "generator" for Perfect 7-3 because each of the spots 2 through 7 have been marked by the generator the same number of times.
Lacking (yet) a method to "write out solutions from a recipe", this structure of generators provides a fast way to evaluate a potential solution. Also, since it represents a 3 X 7 array of numbers using just two numbers, it allows the potential solutions to be iterated much more quickly (7*6 possible combinations) than by iterating the whole array (7!^3 possible combinations).
The generator in the position noted in the above graphic marks the cars, in order, for the first heat. To display the next heat, move the generator one step clockwise. Continue until the CCW end of the generator rests on the last spot (car) in the ring.
If more than one generator is shown, apply the generators one at a time: Step the first generator around the ring, then step the second, etc.
The result of this procedure is that the cars in lane 1 will be in ascending sequence.
If there is a solution, then there is a solution in which the sum of the elements in each generator is less than the number of cars which the resulting Perfect-N chart will serve. Another way of saying this is that for the base element of a portion of the chart, the car index numbers are ascending!
This results from the fact that those portions of the chart resulting from a single generator may be exchanged and the result will still be a Perfect-N chart. So, exchange lanes so that the cars are in ascending order across the lanes of the first heat produced by that generator. The sum of the differences between adjacent lanes is less than the number of cars!
Note how many times each car may race each other car. The number of occurrences of any specific value in the generator(s) may not exceed this value. Moreover, number of occurrences of any specific sum of one or more adjacent generator elements may not exceed this value!
This, for instance, eliminates the generator {1,1} from possibly generating the Perfect-7-3 Chart!, However, it allows {1,1} as a generator for Perfect-3-3 or Perfect-4-3.
Consider the chart for Perfect 91-10 (91 cars on 10 lanes, matched one time each): The generators beginning {1,1,} and {1,2,3,} are eliminated without further consideration because they produce too many pairings of the same cars.
1. Many such charts can be generated using a set of one or more "generators". (A "generator" is a "difference vector" representing the difference between the car index numbers in adjacent lanes of a heat. A pairing chart is produced by applying each of the generator as follows: assign lane 1 of the first heat as car index 1 and increment by 1 thru succeeding heats until each car is represented; for each heat determine the car index numbers in the other lanes by successively incrementing by the respective generator element: c_i+1 = c_i + g_i, i.e. the car index number in lane i+1 of a heat is the sum of the car index number in lane i and the i-th element of the generator.)
2. Potential solutions relate as follows:
Let L be the number of lanes, and
let G be the number of generators.
Then R, the number of times each car should race against one other car, relates to C, the number of cars served, as follows:
Provided that R divides G * L * (L-1), then C = 1 + (G*L*(L-1)) / R, and the number of heats required for the chart will be G*C.
3. Inspection of a potential generator set provides a straight forward answer as to whether the resulting chart satisfies the criteria. The criteria are satisfied if each car is paired R times with car 1. (R as defined above).
4. If a pairing chart satisfies the criteria, then a pairing chart produced by interchanging lanes, heats, or car index numbers also satisfies the criteria.
1. There is no solution for the following cases:
a. 4-lanes 25-cars 2-generators; and
b. 7-lanes 43-cars 1-generator.
1. If a pairing chart satisfies the criteria (at the top of the post), it can be transformed by exchanging lanes, heats and/or car index numbers into a chart that can be produced by generators as described above. (Perhaps, prove by counting all possible solutions and counting all solutions producable from generators and exchanges... but how many generators are there?)
These observations seem consistent with results described by Marshall Hall, Jr. in his book "Combinatorial Theory" (Blaisdell Publishing Company, Waltham, MA, 1967) in the sections titled "Block Designs" and "Difference Sets". (Thanks to Douglas J. Zare with a "Cal Tech" E-Mail address for guiding me to this book!) I'm still trying to match up everything. So far I haven't "matched up" the concept of "lanes" because the block designs do not appear to necessarily consist of "ordered n-tuples." None-the-less, most of the charts contained in my web pages are anticipated in the appendix of Hall's book and are attributed there to Fisher and Yates "Statistical Tables for Biological, Agricultural, and Medical Research".
If your mathematics background permits, any guidance, direction, or insights that you can provide will be much appreciated. Indeed, relevant E-Mails will be treasured! Just click the "Mailbox Icon" below and expound! (I suggest a "subject line" of "Perfect-N Theory" to help me pick out these important tidbits from my in-basket.)

Medical Acupuncture
When navigating the world of acupuncture it can be difficult to understand the different terms used by health care practitioners to describe this crazy practice of poking people with sharp objects
Traditional Chinese Acupuncture:
The original practice where needles are used to alter body processes to reduce pain, balance emotions, improve healing, alter hormones and to improve overall health. Licensed Acupuncturists go to school for 4 years to learn the combination of both traditional view of mind and body using terms such as Qi, Yin, and Yang along with modern medical models to explain how acupuncture works.
Medical Acupuncture:
Medial Acupuncture is a term that was developed by physicians where they learn an abbreviated education of acupuncture to gain a functional understanding of basic principals in how acupuncture needles affect the body. It is implied that medical acupuncture is only done by licensed physicians.
Dry Needling:
Dry needling was a term invented by physical therapists to be able to use acupuncture needles to help reduce pain
and stimulate healing. They use aggressive needling in the affected area that they are trying to treat. In Arizona the education requirements to be able to do dry needling by physical therapists are a 2-day seminar.

SMART and SMARTER goals instead of resolutions
As I look out my window at a cold, bleak day, all the revelry of the holiday season is fast dissipating, and I am now faced with a dreadful reality. Tradition dictates that I must somehow "resolve" to change in the new year. And so, off I go "resolving" to do many great deeds of magnificent valor!
It seems almost inevitable that these things, grand as they may be, are stopped in their tracks by mid-February by the lack of forethought or plan. This is why I've written about SMART and SMARTER goals instead of resolutions before! They work!
Don't resolve, just stay active!
According to the Government of Canada healthy living includes being active. Activity plays an important role in quality of life and feeling of well-being that Canadians experience. It is also noted that active people live longer, more productive lives and are more likely to avoid illness and injury.
In the north, we are blessed by beautiful surroundings
Getting out and enjoying the Northern weather in winter is of course something that is wonderful. Just think of skating on a frozen lake on a sunny day, skiing or snowboarding on our amazing hills, or snowshoeing through the forest. And being active doesn't have to mean snow sports, of course. Snow shovel, anyone?
With all of these activities, there should be a thought towards the issue of safety. Think proper footwear and clothing and a knowledge of the hazards of our beautiful northern winters, like the dangers of the cold and slipping on ice. Once prepared, then enjoy and have your spirits lifted!
For me, a camera is a fine companion that ensures that I will park my vehicle and get active by walking through the snow to take photographs of the scenes I've spotted. If you are doing this, I would suggest from experience letting someone know where you are going. Better still, take someone along for the ride! Remember to check out the weather conditions before setting out so that you can dress accordingly.
Indoor activities can help with motivation when you can't get outsideNot everyone can do the outdoors thing, but for those who can, there is often the bonus of fresh crisp air and the heat of the sun, even on the coldest days. Not to mention the birds, elk, moose and breathtaking scenery! For those with conditions like asthma who can't tolerate the cold air, there is sometimes the opportunity to go to an indoor mall or other facility and either walk in a group or individually. Organized walks indoors also bring the benefits of being around other people so the activity is enhancing both physical and mental well-being. Look for these facilities in your local community and join a group. It will help with motivation!
Winter can be a trying time for all of us but with a little preparation and some forethought (think SMART goal-setting!) we can fill our winter months with activity and be healthier individuals and communities by spring!
So don't focus on things like weight or resolutions. Rather, set a SMART goal, start moving and keep moving. It'll do you good!
Stay well. Only 3 months left. Well, OK ... 4, maybe 5?

Cause Three viruses generally considered as "latent" in apple are Apple stem grooving virus (ASGV), Apple stem pitting virus (ASPV), and Apple chlorotic leaf spot virus (ACLSV) all of which are not too important in commercial apple production. ASGV causes Apple Decline on Virginia crabapple, ASPV causes Apple Spy 227 epinasty and Spy decline while ACLSV causes Apple chlorotic leafspot on many crabapple cultivars (also called Apple top-working disease in Japan). Latent just means these viruses do not cause symptoms on most commercial cultivars, although specific strains of one of these viruses or a combination of them may be associated with diseases such as apple green crinkle disease, apple dead spur, and stoney pit of pear. These viruses do not have a natural vector but are graft transmissible. A survey of several important fruit tree nurse-ries in the Willamette Valley of Oregon in 2014 did not detect these 3 latent viruses.
Symptoms Rootstocks of M. sylvestris 'Virginia Crab' respond to Apple stem grooving virus by developing a brown necrotic line at the graft union where complete breakage often occurs. Apple stem pitting virus also causes significant pitting and weakening of 'Virginia Crab' rootstocks.
Apple top-working disease in Japan was the result of a hypersensitive reaction of rootstocks (M. prunifolia var. Ringo) to Apple chlorotic leafspot virus in apple scions. The hypersensitive reaction at the graft union resulted in weakened trees with reduced production, and the weak graft unions were very susceptible to wind damage.
Some of the new cold-tolerant and fire blight-resistant rootstocks are hypersensitive to one or more of the latent viruses.
Cultural control Use only virus-certified propagation material and rootstocks.

Lining things up
TORONTO — If you were thinking that Jays manager John Gibbons had a clear idea of how Toronto's lineup is going to skake out, well, think again.
I talked to Gibby last night, and after chatting for a few minutes about Christmas, Texas and George Bush, we got down to talking baseball. Basically, Gibby knows this much: Davis Eckstein will be the leadoff man and Frank Thomas and Troy Glaus will probably bat fourth and fifth, respectively. Beyond that? There's a whole lot to figure out before Opening Day.
For the second spot in the lineup, Gibby mentioned Lyle Overbay, Reed Johnson, Aaron Hill, Alex Rios and Vernon Wells. Obviously, Gibbons wants to see how Overbay, Johnson and Wells all rebound from injury, too. Overbay and Johnson could spend time there against RHP and LHP, respectively, and it doesn't look like Hill's chance as a No. 2 hitter will come this year.
As for Rios and Wells, one will be the third hitter. Gibbons doesnt want to put either guy behind Thomas and Glaus because that would limit Wells' and Rios' speed. I floated the idead of them being the Nos. 3-4 hitters, but Gibby said they'd more likely fall into the two-three holes in some order if he were to slot them back-to-back.
Matt Stairs will be platooning in left field, so that throws another left-handed bat in the mix from time to time. My bet is he'd hit sixth or seventh when he's in the order, depending if Gibbons decides to break up Thomas and Glaus. Johnson could also be the ninth hitter when he's in. The problem with Toronto's lineup is they have too many parts that can occupy the Nos. 3-6 spots, and a lack of lefties.
For now, here's what I gathered one of the possible lineups could look like:
1. David Eckstein, SS
2. Alex Rios, RF
3. Vernon Wells, CF
4. Frank Thomas, DH
5. Troy Glaus, 3B
6. Lyle Overbay, 1B
7. Aaron Hill, 2B
8. Gregg Zaun, C
9. Reed Johnson, LF
But that appears to be a vs. LHP lineup, considering Stairs would be in against right-handed hitters. So another possible lineup could be this:
1. Eckstein, SS
2. Rios, RF
3. Wells, CF
4. Thomas, DH
5. Overbay, 1B
6. Glaus, 3B
7. Stairs, LF
8. Hill, 2B
9. Zaun, C
Again, this is all guesswork on my part. Gibbons didn't have an answer for anything after Eckstein. I'm sure you Jays fans have an opinion on this. So, what do you think the lineup should look like? Sound off in the comment field.
I'm heading home to Chicago for Christmas tomorrow and will be out of Toronto until after the New Year. I'll probably blog if something comes up while I'm away, but mostly I'll be away from my computer, either visiting family or playing my new Nintendo Wii. Yeah, I bought one before all of Toronto sold out.
Merry Christmahannakwanzakah to everyone and a Happy Festivus to the restivus!

text: A photo shoot with six kids under the age of five is what you would call crazy (in a good way)! There were some tears, but mostly laughs, and even some small candy bribes. Whatever works to have everyone looking at the camera, at the same time, with a smile on their face, right?! The kids were adorable and I had such a great time with the Frost-Trahan & Lange families – here are some of my favorite photos.

5 Quick & Easy Brain Boosting Snack Ideas
There are a number of factors that increase or decrease your mental capacity as the day goes on. Too little or too much sleep, stress, lack of exercise – the list could go on and on. However, sometimes you may just need a little boost to give you that extra mental edge. That's where the perfect snack can make all the difference. A sharper, more focused brain can help you access a higher level of creativity and inspiration, as well as make tasks easier to complete. Not a bad side benefit of a delicious snack!
To help keep give your brain a quick nutrient boost, consider one of these snack ideas:
Just in case you needed an excuse to eat chocolate, you can tell everyone, "I need it for work!" The cocoa in chocolate contains large amounts of flavanols, which have been shown to enhance the amount of oxygen flowing to the brain. This effect may help boost your short-term cognitive abilities, though overdoing it may lead to a sugar crash later in the day. The lesson here is definitely "everything in moderation."
Staying hydrated may seem like the biggest cliche there is, even outside of the idea of boosting creativity, but the reality is that it's a very important factor. When your body is dehydrated even slightly, your mental capacities are almost immediately impaired. Fortunately, being properly hydrated improves your mental flexibility, up to 14% according to a UK study. Try to drink water regularly so you're never in any danger of dehydration, but if you're hitting a wall, try taking a break and drinking a glass.
There may be a reason walnuts resemble the brain. Not only are walnuts an excellent snack food, as it turns out, they're a great food for creatives as well! According to a study that was published in Plant Foods for Human Nutrition, the high levels of omega-3 fatty acids in walnuts give them the ability to improve memory and boost all-around brain function.
Pumpkin Seeds
Another great snack food with some big time brain benefits is pumpkin seeds. Pumpkin seeds contain high amounts of zinc, Omega 3 and 6 , which plays a part in enhancing memory and critical thinking, as well as general cognition. They are also high in magnesium, which has a calming effect on the brain. Better brain functioning while staying calm? Sounds like a win-win snack option!
Filled with antioxidants, blueberries offer more than just protection from free radicals. Studies have shown that a diet rich with blueberries can significantly improve learning capacity and memory function. They have even been shown to reduce the effects of age-related memory conditions such as Alzheimer's and dementia. And for an extra boost, they are high in vitamin C and fiber.
The best way to eat all of these snacks? Consider making a super brain boosting trail mix!

Wall Street extended its October winning streak into a fifth day Tuesday, although trading was erratic as investors shied away from big commitments in advance of third-quarter earnings.
Analysts said investors were likely to remain cautious as economic news trickles in, and they warned that the market could become volatile if company results hold many negative surprises.
"I think we're going to have a choppy market here for a while as the earnings come out," said Barry Berman, head trader for Robert W. Baird & Co. in Milwaukee. "But the tone of the market is still optimistic ... we could see a continuation of the positive trend."
The Dow Jones industrial average closed up 59.63, or 0.6 percent, at 9,654.61, after recovering from midday losses.
The broader market also reversed course to close higher. The Nasdaq composite index rose 14.39, or 0.8 percent, to close at 1,907.85. The Standard & Poor's 500 index rose 4.90, or 0.5 percent, to close at 1,039.25.
Trading was understandably quiet as many investors were waiting for third-quarter earnings. Companies were beginning to report results this week, starting with Alcoa Inc. after the close of markets Tuesday and Yahoo! Inc. on Wednesday. Many analysts believe earnings will have to not only meet, but exceed, estimates for stocks to move higher after six months of gains.
Alcoa, the world's largest aluminum maker, said its earnings had risen 45 percent, beating analyst expectations by 4 cents a share. Investors were pleased with the news; the Dow component rose 77 cents in after-hours trading after losing 8 cents to close at $28.19 in regular dealings.
Few companies have issued earnings warnings, which bodes well for the market during the next few weeks of third-quarter reports, said Neil Massa, an equity trader at John Hancock Funds. The lack of news hasn't exactly enticed investors, but low trading volume is normal for a time like this, he said.
"I don't think there's any worry here, people are just taking some money off the table, and that's a natural progression, not a fundamental shift in sentiment," Massa said.
Investors are wary, but it's not because they don't believe there's a recovery under way, said Arnie Holzer, senior investment strategist at Deutsche Asset Management Americas. "They're just waiting to see that it is self-sustaining," he said.
Stocks appeared to be getting some support from the dollar, which weakened slightly against the Japanese yen, trading at 109.79 Tuesday, down from 111.03 Monday. Analysts said this could be good news for large-cap companies, technology firms and industrial goods producers that rely heavily on exports that are cheaper to buy when the dollar is down.
McDonald's Corp. gained 62 cents to close at $24.72 after Citigroup's Smith Barney unit upgraded the fast-food company's rating to "buy" from "hold," citing good sales prospects.
PepsiCo Inc. declined 10 cents to close at $47.40, in spite of the soft drink maker's reported 13 percent rise in profits, which met analysts' expectations.
El Paso Corp. fell 20 cents to close at $7.65 after the Securities and Exchange Commission notified the energy company that it was investigating some of its filings.
Terayon Communication Systems Inc. closed up $1.50, or 24.2 percent, at $7.71, after the broadband equipment provider said its third-quarter revenues would beat estimates.
LookSmart Ltd. slid $1.58, or 52.3 percent, to close at $1.44 after Microsoft Corp. said it would end a licensing agreement with the company in January 2004.
Advancing issues outnumbered decliners nearly 3 to 1 on the New York Stock Exchange. Volume remained light for a second day, with 1.278 billion shares traded, compared to just over 1 billion shares Monday, when market activity slowed on the Yom Kippur holiday.
The Russell 2000 index, a barometer of smaller company stocks, closed up 4.05, or 0.8 percent, at 520.77.
Overseas, Japan's Nikkei stock average finished 0.8 percent higher Tuesday. In Europe, France's CAC-40 declined 0.8 percent, Britain's FTSE 100 was up 0.04 percent and Germany's DAX index dropped 1.4 percent.

It's the holiday celebration season and many of us are looking for the very best recipes to serve our family and friends! And nachos are a favorite for many of us and these nachos have a fresh new twist and the green, read and white looks downright festive on the holiday table!
And it may be hard to believe, how can anything that tastes so good be so good for you so I wanted to share what good things these nachos have in them:
The spinach & artichokes are rich in vitamin C, magnesium, iron. In addition, spinach has vitamin A and lutein which are good for our eyes and vitamin B6 which helps promotes a healthy mood. the tomatoes add even more vitamin C and lycopene which are good for the prevention of cancer. The black olives are rich in healthy monounsaturated fats which are good for the heart and the immune system. An last but no least, the cheese and yogurt are rich in calcium, protein and riboflavin which is an important vitamin with converts food to energy.
The nachos are also super easy to make and the filling can be made up ahead of time up to one or two days so they can easily be put together.
Spinach Artichoke Nachos
A few years ago my family and I loved these nachos at one of our local pizzerias. I always wanted to recreate them to eat them at home anytime I wanted. When the restaurant quit serving them, I became even more inspired to get them made! Here they are, from my kitchen to yours!
Makes 10-12 servings for appetizers, 6 servings for a meal
1/2 cup yogurt
6 ounce softened cream cheese
6 ounces cheddar cheese, shredded
2 cups fresh spinach chopped, cooked in a little olive oil, cooled and drained (you can also use other greens like arugula or kale if those are more readily available locally)
14 ounce drained and chopped artichoke hearts
1 clove garlic, minced
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon hot pepper sauce
1 small chopped tomatoes
1/2 small can sliced black olives
Garnish with:
Sliced avocados
Chopped cilantro
Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
In a large bowl, mix softened yogurt, cream cheese and cheddar. Add drained artichoke hearts, thinly sliced spinach, salt, garlic and hot pepper sauce. Stir well.
On baking sheet,
Layer the taco chips on the baking sheet, add the dip on top. Add the tomatoes and black olives. Bake for 10 minutes. Remove from oven and then garnish with avocado and cilantro.
For a vegan version:
Substitute seasoned tofu instead of cheese. I took a box of extra firm tofu and made a marinade. I like to make my marinade in an 8 by 8 baking sheet and put the tofu right in there to bake.
Juice of one lime
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 clove pressed garlic
1-2 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
Salt and pepper to taste
1 block of firm tofu
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Cut and cube the tofu and add it to an 8 by 8 baking pan. Allow to bake for about 15 minutes until brown and a little crunchy!
Check out a video showing just how easy, these festive nachos are put together!
I hope that you get a chance to make these spinach artichoke nachos at your next holiday gathering! And I hope that your family and friends absolutely love them and that they become one of your new holiday traditions! As a registered dietitian nutritionist, I love to help others find easy, delicious meal planning solutions that also add some great health benefits! Happy holidays! I will be sharing more delicious ways to make your holiday menus dazzle in the week! And I will also be sharing ideas to get your new year off to a great start soon so stay tuned!
Go make you some!

West View
May 11, 2018
Not every restaurant in the Science City area is geared towards appeasing the tourists. This business lunch-heavy spot inside the ITC Sonar hotel is known for its grilled steaks, duck and other meat-centric dishes, Italian cuisine, along with immaculate platings. Though business expense accounts are flashing left and right, the casual diner/drinker is equally welcome here, and those thirsting for extensive Cognac and Scotch selections should feel very comfortable here indeed. West View, which boasts a daily changing, unwritten five-course menu, is lauded for its "Enoteca" – an extensive wine library decanted and prepared at your table. And of course, a full bar, under the capable watch of Sankhadeep, means you can enjoy an ice cold Martini with that grilled lamb chop cooked over hot lava rocks. Added bonus: Live classic pop music from a house band most nights. Reservations recommended. Proper attire (Formal or Smart Casuals) recommended.

Notwithstanding being a magic wand, technology has made privacy vulnerable, as it has begotten the threats of financial data theft, health records, intellectual property, and personally identifiable information (PII). IoT devices are an integral part of the technological revolution. From healthcare to agriculture, almost every important sector leverages IoT devices to ensure improved productivity and work process. But, the security aspect of these connected devices has long been a major concern for researchers.
Connected car has revolutionized the transport system which aims at ensuring better management of traffic and improved transport system. But, these connected cars often become the target of cyber criminals who attempt to control the vehicle from a remote place to destroy human life and the whole transport system. Statista has predicted that there will be 64 million connected cars in 2019. Addressing this demand of security for connected cars researchers have started to think out-of-the-box. For example, SafeRide has launched vXRay which tries to ensure safety creating a behavioral baseline of connected vehicles and leveraging cutting-edge technology it can quickly detect anomalies.
Lawmakers have started to involve in the game of securing IoT devices. Previously, California transformed IoT security legislation into law to protect the IoT users, and this law includes some important features like the prevention of unwanted modification, different password for the device, and creation of wall before unauthorized access.
Check out: Connected Health Companies - Casamba, Intouch Health, MedZed,...
IoT companies have started to leverage blockchain technology to secure the edge devices. Digital security firm Gemalto has stated, only 48 percent of companies can detect the proper information of data breach. The IoTeX platform which leverages blockchain technology and TEE design to provide security from the remote threats is an essential weapon to ensure safety.
Most importantly, cyber attacks have grown smarter with advancements in technology. The Mirai botnet attack in 2016 initiated the trend, and in 2019, it is expected that the hackers will target the networks to devastate network segmentation.
The healthcare sector is a big spender in the field of cutting-edge IoT devices as Statista shows almost 161 million healthcare IoT devices will be installed by 2020. Needless to say, the healthcare sector has to be more focused to build zero trust security for these devices because, by manipulating these devices, hackers can disrupt and annihilate the customer-centric service.

From the forms of contractions you may experience throughout being pregnant to when to call your practitioner, here is the one zero one on the all-essential spasms that deliver your baby to your arms. Actual contractions are likely to current in the decrease back and spread to the entrance of the abdomen. Contractions felt like if you get a charley horse in your calf; that very same type of cramp-like contraction, besides by all of the muscle mass of your stomach that you'd use to perform a sit up. As hours passed, the contractions additionally involved the hips and lower back." Bee R.
It's and its are two of the most commonly confused words within the English language. Preserve a notepad and watch helpful with the intention to document the size and time between contractions. Nonetheless, in case you're writing an educational paper or anything else that's formal, it's possible you'll wish to keep away from contractions. The contractions usually are not often evenly spaced like labor contractions and do not enhance in frequency and power as time goes on.
The phrases dove and any phrase that begins with e are contracted into one single, deleting the e of the principal phrase, dove (dov'). Do not type contractions with the topic pronoun él or with any particular articles other than el. If you see this last behaviour, you will be quite sure that your beautiful cat is getting into the primary stage of the delivery course of – your cat's labour has begun.
This little folding activity is easy, however it is a powerful demonstration to what is actually occurring with contractions. Attending lively delivery classes will educate you breathing workout routines and sure positions that can be used to ease labor pain throughout childbirth. It was not until the 15th century, when William Caxton studied beneath Gutenberg in Germany and returned dwelling to England with the first printing press designed to print the English language, that contractions have been invented.
If the pregnant woman has crossed her 37th week of being pregnant and there are greater than four contractions an hour, you must seek medical help. So with a purpose to save time, ink, and paper these early printers invented contractions. My English teacher in 9th grade called me out in entrance of the category in the first week of faculty as a result of I used lots" accurately, and I keep in mind thinking, Well, of course 'quite a bit' is two words." Apparently, it is not in fact" for many individuals.

Land and People
Albania is rugged and mountainous, except for the fertile Adriatic coast. Mt. Korabit (9,066 ft/2,763 m), on the North Macedonian–Albanian border, is the highest point in the country. The coastal climate is typically Mediterranean, with hot, dry summers and mild, wet winters. The mountainous interior, especially in the north, has severe winters and mild summers. The chief rivers of Albania are the Drin, Mat, Shkumbin, Vijose, and Seman, but they are mostly unnavigable. More than one third of Albania's land is covered by forests and swamps, about one third is pasture, and only about one fifth is cultivated. In addition to Tiranë, other important cities are Vlorë, Durrës, Shkodër, and Korçë.
The country's rugged and inaccessible terrain has traditionally isolated Albania from its neighbors, thus helping to preserve its ethnic homogeneity. About 90% of the population is ethnic Albanian, less than 10% is Greek, and there are scattered Vlach, Romani (Gypsy), Serb, Macedonian, and Bulgarian minorities. Many ethnic Albanians also live in Kosovo, a former province of Serbia that declared its independence in 2008. Some 70% of the people are Muslim, about 20% are Albanian Orthodox, and 10% Roman Catholic. From 1967 to 1990 all mosques and churches were closed, and Albania was officially considered to be an atheist country. Albanian is an Indo-European language. The Shkumbin River, which virtually bisects the country, separates speakers of the northern dialect (Gheg) from those of the southern dialect (Tosk; the official dialect).

The History Section began as one of the first disciplines in the School of Humanities from its inception in 1970. The Section conducts two academic programmes, namely, the Bachelor of Arts (Honours) (History), and Master's of Arts (Southeast Asian History). The former is a three and a half year (7-semester) full-time programme whereas the latter a mixed-mode Master's caters to both full-time (two years/four semesters) and part-time (three years/six semesters) students. Primarily the B.A. (Hons.) caters to school-leavers while the mixed-mode M.A., in line with the university's commitment to life-long education accommodates working individuals who wish to further their studies to postgraduate level. Fresh graduates may choose to pursue either the mixed-mode or a full research M.A. Postgraduate degrees through research such as the Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) and Master's of Arts (M.A.) are conducted under the supervision of an academic member of staff of the Section whereby candidates undertake research and fieldwork in libraries, archives, and other repositories including tapping into oral source materials to produce a thesis for examination. Both research-mode higher degrees cater to full-time or part-time study.
The undergraduate (B.A.) programme focuses on Malaysian and Southeast Asian history allowing students to examine, evaluate, and reflect on historical developments from the first millennium to the latter part of the twentieth century. In-depth knowledge on the historical past of Malaysia is emphasized to enable students' comprehension, appreciation, and cognizance of the past vis-à-vis the contemporary situation. Local history and national history are given equal attention, likewise the contextualization of Malaysia within the Southeast Asia region. At the same time it is imperative that students be exposed to the history of the wider Asian context hence courses on South Asia, East Asia, and West Asia are conducted. Modern European history from the French Revolution (1789) to the Second World War (1941-5) complements themes such as Western imperialism and colonialism in Asia, Southeast Asia, and Malaysia.
Undergraduates, particularly those who majored in History, are introduced to theories and methods in history as an academic discipline. Students are exposed to the historian's craft in theory as well as in practice. A course that initiates students to various types of archival documents in Malaysian history expects in a follow-up course for students themselves under the guidance of a lecturer as supervisor undertake research that utilizes primary source materials in local archives that finally leads to the writing and submission of a thesis for evaluation. Those with aspirations to pursue studies at the postgraduate level (M.A., PhD) could opt to work on a one-year/two-semester Academic Exercise with supervision of a member of the Section. The thesis produced for this Academic Exercise could be the foundation for a future higher degree.
The M.A. (Southeast Asian History) as implied by the parentheses focuses on the history of the Southeast Asian region and is complemented by Malaysian and Asian history. Candidates must complete and clear numerous courses that serve as a prerequisite to their commencement of a dissertation under a supervisor. Similar to research-mode higher degrees, mixed-mode M.A. students face a viva voce that ultimately determines their attainment of this higher degree.
The main niche areas of members of the Section range from Asian history to the history of the Western world. Areas of research tend to focus on Malaysia and Southeast Asia; however there are section members who specialise in East and West Asian history. Several section members actively conduct research in political, diplomatic, social, economic, and socio-cultural history. War studies, the history of medicine, ethnic relations, women's history, labour history, philosophy of history, and historiography are other areas of interest. Section members have published in national, regional, and international journals such as Kajian Malaysia, Sarawak Museum Journal, Journal of the Malaysian Branch of the Royal Asiatic Society, Journal of Southeast Asian Studies, Modern Asian Studies, and book publishers such as Dewan Bahasa dan Pustaka, Penerbit USM, Penerbit UKM, Oxford, ABC-Clio, Routledge, Ohio, Scarecrow. Section members have also been recipients of international grants (Toyota Foundation, Sumitomo Foundation, etc.), and held fellowships at various institutions (Australian War Memorial, International Institute of Asian Studies, Netherlands Institute for War Documentation, and others).
An appointed Programme Chairperson oversees the day-to-day running of the History Section. Nonetheless decisions are made based on consensus and collective responsibility is practised. The number of academic staff presently stands at the 11 that have been constant for the last decade. Staff renewal is through the university's various schemes such as the assisted staff training scheme (ASTS), and academic staff higher education scheme (ASHES).
Prepared by Professor Ooi Keat Gin, Programme Chairperson, History Section, June 2012

To Jeff Fritz,
Hello! It's been quite a while since I last e-mailed you. I ended up with the Boulder 2010 preamplifier and 2060 power amplifier and have upgraded my speakers to a pair of Avalon Times. The system is now a bit too analytical, lacking a bit of musicality, in my opinion. I would like to add a bit more warmth to the system.
I am looking into the Constellation Altair/Hercules and the Gryphon Pandora/Mephisto Monos. How would you characterize these two setups and what would be your preference?
I have not had the opportunity to hear the Constellation equipment in my system, though I do know that it has been given some solid reviews elsewhere. My take is that, at the very least, it is very competently designed gear and will likely perform at a high level. Is it special? I really can't say.
But I can say that the Gryphon gear is special. As you likely know, I reviewed the Colosseum amplifier and Mirage preamplifier and found them to be outstanding. Gryphon equipment has a reputation for being highly musical, sometimes warm, and very analog-like, though the newest models also display great speed and transient snap. Based on that, I think the Gryphon pairing will do exactly what you want it to do in your system, particularly if the Mephisto Mono/Pandora combo is better than the Colosseum and Mirage. If my experience with Flemming Rasmussen's designs is any indication, it will be something to hear. . . . Jeff Fritz

Here's A Complete iOS 7 Feature Compatibility Chart
With the all new iOS 7 currently available to developers only, a number of Apple users are anxious to know which of the features from the latest and greatest iOS iteration will work on their iOS devices, once it goes public later this year. According to Apple, below is a list of iOS devices compatible with iOS 7:
- iPhone 4
- iPhone 4S
- iPhone 5
- iPad 2
- Retina iPad 3
- Retina iPad 4
- iPad Mini
- iPod touch 5th gen
But in our initial tests, we found out that the iPhone 4S and older devices do not support the AirDrop feature, neither do they support the new Camera Filters. In order to make things simpler to understand, The Apple Lounge has prepared a feature comparison chart (below), showing which of the features highlighted by Apple during the WWDC keynote are compatible by various iOS devices.
If you've tried the iOS 7 beta on your device and know of a feature missing in this chart which is not compatible with your device, don't forget to share with us in the comments section.


text: Previous investigations with 3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA) have suggested that administration of the drug leads to a degeneration of 5-HT nerve terminals and following alterations in 5-HT neurotransmission. MDMA treatment reduced 125I-RTI-55 tagged SERT binding Rabbit Polyclonal to HOXA11/D11. sites in the striatum considerably, nucleus cingulate and accumbens cortex demonstrating a lack of 5-HT terminals. The upsurge in TPH2 mRNA amounts in both middle DR and caudal DR of MDMA-treated rats may reveal a compensatory system in the harmed 5-HT neurons RU 58841 to improve TPH2 proteins synthesis. Taken jointly, our results claim that a significant defect takes place in the biosynthesis of TPH2 in the DR pursuing MDMA administration. hybridization, substance abuse 3,4-Methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA, ecstasy) can be an amphetamine derivative, which is often utilized being a recreational medication due to its empathic and euphoric properties, and thus has turned into a popular drug of abuse among the adolescent and young adult population. Regrettably, many individuals perceive MDMA as a safe drug. However, evidence from both human and animal studies reveals that MDMA exerts long-term neurotoxic effects on 5-HT neurons (Battaglia et al., RU 58841 1991; Fischer et al., 1995; Lew et al., 1996; Hatzidimitriou et al., 1999). Specifically, immunocytochemical studies have reported that MDMA preferentially destroys the fine, small fusiform varicose 5-HT axon terminals originating from the dorsal raphe (DR) nucleus causing the degeneration of 5-HT terminals in various cortical and subcortical regions. In addition, evidence from biochemical studies has repeatedly exhibited that this MDMA-induced loss of 5-HT terminals includes a marked reduction of 5-HT transporter (SERT) binding sites throughout these regions (Battaglia et al., 1991; Aguirre et al., 1995; Fischer et al., 1995; Lew et al., 1996). While many studies have characterized the MDMA-induced loss of 5-HT terminals, very few studies have investigated the effects of MDMA around the midbrain neurons RU 58841 that contain the biosynthetic machinery for synthesizing 5-HT. Aguirre and colleagues (1997) reported a decrease in 5-HT1A autoreceptor binding density and mRNA levels in rat brainstem 7 days after MDMA treatment. This RU 58841 study represents the first report of an alteration in a key regulator of 5-HT neurons in the brainstem raphe nuclei pursuing MDMA-induced 5-HT axon degeneration, and shows that the reduction in 5-HT1A autoreceptor synthesis shows a compensatory system of 5-HT neurons to adjust to the increased loss of 5-HT axons after repeated MDMA administration (Aguirre et al., 1995, 1997). On the other hand, in a recently available PET research of the consequences of persistent MDMA, Cumming and co-workers (2007) didn't detect modifications in 5-HT1A autoreceptor binding sites in a number of brain parts of G?ttingen minipigs, like the pons and mesencephalon. With all this inconsistency, it is advisable to determine whether modifications occur in various other 5-HT markers in raphe neurons pursuing MDMA treatment. One essential essential regulator in the 5-HT neurotransmission is certainly tryptophan hydroxylase (TPH), the rate-limiting enzyme in the biosynthesis of 5-HT (Jequier et al., 1967) in addition to a phenotypic marker for serotonergic neurons. TPH is available in two RU 58841 different isoforms encoded by two different genes: the initial TPH, known today as TPH1 as well as the uncovered isoform recently, defined as TPH2 (Walther et al., 2003). Both TPH isoforms are extremely homologous and talk about 71% of their amino acidity sequence identities. Not surprisingly similarity, both enzymes present different biochemical properties (McKinney et al., 2005). In addition they differ by their anatomical distribution with TPH2 getting portrayed in the mind solely, whereas TPH1 is certainly most loaded in the pineal gland and periphery (Patel et al., 2004; Salli et al., 2004; Zill et al., 2007). In the mind, TPH2 mRNA is principally synthesized in the raphe nuclei (Zill et al., 2007) and presumably transports to cortical and subcortical human brain locations through axons. Taking into consideration the quantity of research which has accumulated within the last decade.

(From Reuters)
The United States and its ally South Korea were discussing on Monday sending more strategic U.S. weapons to the Korean peninsula, a day after a U.S. B-52 bomber flew over South Korea in response to North Korea's nuclear test last week.
North Korea said it set off a hydrogen bomb last Wednesday, its fourth nuclear test since 2006, angering China, the North's main ally, and the United States, which said it doubted the device was a hydrogen bomb.
In a show of force and support for allies in the region, the United States on Sunday sent a nuclear-capable B-52 bomber based in Guam on a flight over South Korea.
North Korea's Rodong Sinmun newspaper, the mouthpiece of the ruling Workers' Party, said the United States was bringing the situation to the brink of war.
South Korean media said the United States may send to South Korea B-2 bombers, nuclear-powered submarines and F-22 stealth fighter jets.
A South Korean defense ministry spokesman declined to give details.
"The United States and South Korea are continuously and closely having discussions on additional deployment of strategic assets," the spokesman, Kim Min-seok, said.
China called for all sides to avoid raising tension.
"Safeguarding the peace and stability of northeast Asia accords with all parties' interests," Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Hong Lei said in response to a question about the U.S. B-52 flight.
"We hope all parties can maintain restraint, proceed cautiously, and avoid successively escalating tensions."
The chairman of South Korea's Joint Chiefs of Staff warned that North Korea was likely to carry out further "sudden provocations", a South Korean defense ministry official said.
The commander of the 28,500 U.S. troops in South Korea, General Curtis Scaparrotti, urged them to be vigilant.
"I want you to maintain the highest level readiness from a long-term view as joint military exercises are coming up," Scaparrotti told U.S. and South Korean forces on a visit to a base, a U.S. military official said.
He was apparently referring to joint annual military exercises that usually begin in February or March and invariably provoke an angry reaction from North Korea. Read more
