Varicella Zoster Virus (VZV) is a human viral infection. Reactivation of the latent VZV infection manifests as herpes zoster. Reactivation in children is rare as the age is the number one risk factor for reactivation. Complications of the infection include Post-Herpetic Neuralgia (PHN), a bacterial infection of the crusted skin, and neurological complications. We present a case of a 13-year-old child with herpes zoster infection accompanied by multiple risk factors. The patient presented to the emergency department complaining of a painful vesicular rash affecting the right side of his face. The rash appeared as multiple grouped vesicles on an erythematous base. After a thorough history, physical examination, and investigation; he was diagnosed with herpetic (varicella) vesiculobullous dermatitis. A subsequent pathology report confirmed the diagnosis. He was treated accordingly with a marked improvement by the second week. Reactivation of VZV infection in children is rare at a rate of (0.74/1000 person-years) among the 0 to 9-year-old age group and (1.38/1000 person-years) in 10 to 19-year-old age group. It is theorized to be a consequence of decreased cell-mediated immunity. Nonetheless, the reason of reactivation in immunocompetent children remains unclear. In the presented case, the patient may possibly have got exposed either in utero, through vaccination, or from major facial trauma.
Herpes zoster, Child, Reactivation.
Varicella-Zoster Virus (VZV; Human herpes virus 3) is a human herpes virus infection that manifests in two clinically distinct forms: primary varicella and herpes zoster. As the primary varicella infection resolves, the virus passes through sensory neurological tracts of the affected area, eventually residing in the dorsal root ganglion of the infected dermatome in a latent form. Reactivation of the latent virus manifests as herpes zoster, which is commonly known as shingles [1]. Clinically, herpes zoster is described as a multi-vesicular eruptive rash that follows a single or multiple adjacent dermatomes. It is often accompanied or preceded by acute pain and itchiness. Complications of the infection may arise, such as postherpetic neuralgia, bacterial infection of the crusted skin, and neurological complications [2]. These complications can lead to impaired quality of life and even functional disabilities. Reactivation in children is rare, as increasing age is the primary risk factor in the general population [3]. We present a case of a 13-year-old child, who was otherwise healthy, with herpes zoster with multiple risk factors, including intrauterine exposure to VZV infection.
Case Description
A 13-year-old boy, not known to have any medical illness, presented to the emergency department of King Abdulaziz Medical City in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. The patient complained of a painful itchy vesicular rash affecting the right side of his face that was not preceded by systemic symptoms such as fever, chills or headache or associated with stress or infections. The pain was severe enough to prevent him from opening his mouth and eye. Three days prior to presentation, he had started to experience a burning pain described as toothache at the right upper angle of his mouth. One day after the pain started, he developed a vesicular rash affecting the right side of the oral mucosa and spreading progressively to the right side of the nose, reaching the right lower eyelid and causing redness of the sclera. On presentation, blood tests revealed an elevated level of C-reactive protein of 9.4 mg/L and a white blood cell count of 3.9 × 109/L. A swab culture from the face lesion was negative for herpes simplex virus (HSV) types 1 and 2. VZV-specific IgG was less than 10.0 g/L, with negative IgM. A skin punch biopsy was taken from a vesicle with a maximum diameter of 0.3 cm. The sections of skin showed intraepidermal vesicles with multinucleated cells and epidermal dyskeratosis with intranuclear smudged inclusions. The pathology report confirmed the diagnosis of herpetic (varicella) vesiculobullous dermatitis. A computed tomography scan of the head and neck showed normal brain parenchymal enhancement and right neck soft tissue swelling with no acute brain insult or lymph node involvement.
The patient was a full-term baby of a healthy mother. Apart from varicella infection in the mother around 2 weeks prior to delivery, the pregnancy was uncomplicated. Upon delivery, the baby was admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit for observation because of suspected neonatal varicella infection. Three days later, he had not shown any signs or symptoms of infection, had not received any treatment, and were discharged in good health. The child received VZV vaccination at the age of 18 months and 6 years, as part of the Saudi Arabian national vaccination program. The mother did not report any previous varicella infection. At the age of 6 years, he sustained a major trauma to the face with lip laceration and bleeding that required suturing.
On examination on the fifth day after admission, the patient was conscious, oriented, not dehydrated, and not in distress. The rash appeared as multiple grouped vesicles on an erythematous base spreading over the right half of the face, following the maxillary nerve dermatomal distribution and sparing the forehead and chin (Figure 1). The patient's mouth and right eye could not be examined as he was not able to open them due to pain. By the end of the first week after admission, ocular examination showed normal intraocular pressure and no redness of the sclera. The patient was admitted with raised clinical suspicion of herpes zoster. He was started on vancomycin and ceftriaxone. Acyclovir and clindamycin were added once the results of the skin biopsy were provided. He received vancomycin for 2 days, clindamycin for 6 days, acyclovir for 7 days, and ceftriaxone for 8 days.
By the end of the first week, the vesicular rash had converted to bullae, which then ruptured to form crusting lesions with yellowish discoloration (Figure 2). For topical treatment of the crusting lesions, the patient was started on potassium permanganate and white petrolatum ointment (Vaseline) twice daily. By the second week, the patient's overall condition was markedly improved (Figure 3). The lesions were painless, crusted, and peeling, with raw skin underneath, and no limitations of eye or mouth movement were observed. He was discharged on 800 mg acyclovir five times per day for 7 days, in addition to topical potassium permanganate and fucidin cream twice daily for 1 week. Ten days later, the patient was seen for followup in the outpatient clinic. The facial lesion continued to improve, and a follow-up appointment was arranged for 2 weeks later.
Reactivation of VZV infection in immunocompetent children is rare with fewer than 10% of zoster patients are younger than 20 years, and only 5% are younger than 15 years [4]. A field study conducted in the UK showed an incidence of 0.74 per 1000 person-years among children aged 0–9 years and 1.38 per 1000 person-years among those aged 10–19 years [5]. It has been proposed that reactivation of latent VZV is a consequence of decreased cell-mediated immunity as seen in immunocompromised and elderly individuals [6,7]. The reason for reactivation in healthy immunocompetent children remains unclear. A number of studies have suggested that the risk factors for primary infection in children later presenting with herpes zoster include wild-type VZV infection, VZV vaccination, intrauterine exposure, penetrating trauma, emotional stress, and asthma [8-10]. In the current case, the patient may have been exposed to the primary infection in utero, through vaccination, or as a result of major facial trauma. However, the link to intrauterine exposure could not be confirmed due to the lack of proper documentation for the maternal varicella infection.
Herpes zoster results from reactivation of a latent VZV infection and is rarely seen in healthy children; the reason for reactivation in this group remains unclear. A maternal VZV infection during pregnancy may play a role in the development of subsequent herpes zoster infection in the child. Moreover, herpes zoster can easily be confused with cellulitis or an insect bite, unless confirmed by laboratory and pathological investigations. Proper management is essential to prevent serious complications, such as neurological sequelae.

You are beautiful, victorious, and worth more than what you put in your mouth. Your worth is not defined by your waist size or the number on that awful scale.
Navigating the medical gauntlet has become a daunting, scary and very expensive exercise in futility. Don't get me wrong, I'm thrilled we have our modern medicine. It's great for emergency medicine, urgent care and saving lives in a crisis – it's gotten amazing at that – after 200 years of trial and error.
Where modern medicine fails is in chronic care. The 'eases' – dis-eases and you all know their names. Pharmaceutical companies are in the business not of cures, but of customers. There is no doctor, hospital or pharmaceutical that can cure you. In fact, many of them leave more damage than you started with, and so many are cumulative. One more pill needed to offset the side effects of the first pill they gave you.
You have choices…..options you may not have explored yet, but very effective, time worn and tested options. They are going to mean making changes in your food, and thinking differently about what you put in and on your body – but the "side" effect is feeling good, looking younger, more energy, less pain, and getting closer to being the person you were meant to be. YAY
If you have hormone or sleep issues, stress, sugar issues, heart issues, and are on medications – the weight loss will not come, or if you use extreme measures to lose weight, you will do more damage to your hormonal system. I know thin women and men who are not healthy, their hormones are not right, they don't sleep well, their hearts are overworked, they are on medications for thyroid, depression, and other illnesses, they have osteoporosis, and bad backs, and cracking knees – but darn it if they don't fit into those size 4 jeans!
So how do you know if your hormones are off – you don't sleep right, you crave foods, you can't handle stress, you want to cry a lot, you lack motivation to get up and go, everything sets you off and makes you angry, you have no sex drive, your attitude toward life is tired, sarchastic, and pessimistic.
I hear so many people say they want to lose weight as fast as possible – and I can understand that, it's such a lure to be the "skinny" cover model, I feel your pain, I've been there. After I changed my lifestyle to a more traditional program, the weight went away for me, over 70lbs.
I know now that by healing my body, resolving my hormone issues and making lifestyle based changes that include food, chemical exposure and rest, that the weight loss has been a great side effect of those right choices. BTW – it's not the conventional information you see on the TV, it's real nutrition based on generations of good health around the world.
I want to be a senior citizen who is vibrant and healthy – I want to walk the Appalachian trail at 70!
Here's another thing to note – You can be skinny and sick, so thin does not equal healthy.
Work to be healthy, happy and your right body size will be a direct effect of good choices.
You can do that on your own, slog through the blogs, magazines, books, TV shows, or you can rely on someone who has lived it and has studied natural choices.
What do you want?? What are you willing to change to make healthy, happy, energetic happen?

Data of More Than 500,000 Staff and Students Compromised in San Diego School District Phishing Attack
The San Diego School District has announced it has suffered a major phishing attack that has resulted in the exposure of the personal data, including health information, of more than 500,000 staff and students.
The phishing attack was detected in October 2018; however, an investigation into the breach revealed the hacker had network access for almost a year. Access to the network was first gained in January 2018 and the attacker continued to access the network until November 2018.
The decision was taken not to alert the hacker to the discovery of the breach immediately. Instead, the school district first investigated the breach to determine the nature of the attack and the extent to which its network had been compromised. Access was only terminated when the initial phase of the investigation was completed.
San Diego School District conducted the investigation in conjunction with the San Diego Unified Police and has identified the hacker responsible for the attack. All compromised accounts have now been reset and unauthorized access to staff and student data is no longer possible.
The phishing emails used in the attack were highly realistic and directed users to a website where they were required to enter their login credentials, which were then harvested by the attacker.
The breach was one of the most severe phishing attacks reported to date. The investigation revealed more than 50 email accounts of district employees were compromised in the attack over the space of 11 months.
The types of information compromised included names, telephone numbers, mailing addresses, home addresses, dates of birth, Social Security numbers, state student ID numbers, schedule information, school attendance information, transfer information, emergency contacts, legal notices, and health information. Compromised employee information also included paychecks and pay advice, staff health benefits enrollment information, beneficiary identity information, savings and flexible spending account data, dependents' identities, tax information, direct deposit bank names, routing numbers, and account numbers, and payroll and compensation data. The data compromised in the attack dates back to the 2008-2009 school year.
While data access was possible, it is unclear whether the hacker copied any staff and student data. All individuals affected by the breach are now being notified. The wider investigation into the attack is continuing. Additional security measures have now been installed to prevent further breaches of this nature.

The actor Maria Felix, who has died aged 88, was widely agreed to be "the most beautiful face in the history of Mexican cinema". She became an icon during its golden age in the 1940s - a period of resurgent national pride - and the incarnation of the strong, sexual woman, who would, nevertheless, be tamed by machismo before the end of the movie.
Born in Alamos, one of 16 children of a wealthy family, she studied in Guadalajara, where she became the university carnival queen. After moving to Mexico City, she worked for a plastic surgeon who used her as a model to attract clients. She made her first film, El Penon De Las Animas (1942), alongside the famous actor and singer Jorge Negrete, whom she later married.
It was with her third film, Doña Barbara (1943), that Felix's star began to rise - according to one critic, "as both a respected actress and an over-determined icon" - although some would doubt her acting abilities. Doña Barbara tells the story of a Venezuelan woman, raped in her youth, who runs her ranch despotically while dressed in men's clothes (a characterisation Felix was to repeat in La Monja Alferez in 1944) and dabbles in witchcraft.
Felix grabbed the role with her full force, becoming the personification of Doña Barbara and, ironically, of Mexico. To the end of her life, she was referred to as Doña Barbara, and her subsequent roles built on the image. In 1943, she made La Mujer Sin Alma, the story of a woman who lies her way to the top in urban Mexico, and a string of films that followed, including the celebrated Rio Escondido (1947), played with the image.
Enamorada (1947) was a welcome relief from iconic melodramas. A delightful comedy, with a Taming Of The Shrew theme, it tells of a rebel leader (Pedro Armendariz) falling in love with the daughter of a powerful landowner (Felix). His overtures are ignored, and he suffers humiliating (but very funny) encounters - though, as with Shakespeare, in the end, the heroine is tamed and nationhood re-enforced. In one scene, the cinematographer Gabriel Figueroa focuses ever closer on Felix waking in bed, ending with a shot of just her eyes and nose - an iconic and beautiful image.
Felix made 18 films during the 1940s, and continued to work in Mexico until 1970, by which time she had completed 47 movies. She worked in Spain, Italy and France, with directors who included Jean Renoir (French Cancan, 1954) and Luis Buñuel (Los Ambiciosos, 1959), though most of her European work was disappointing.
She appeared once on screen with Dolores del Rio (La Cucaracha, 1958), and in a play with her by Carlos Fuentes, Orquideas A La Luz De La Luna (1982). She did a television series, La Constitución (1970), won three Ariel awards for best actress, and, in 1985, a lifetime achievement award and the Mexico City Prize. In 1996, she became the first Latin American woman to be made commandeur de l'ordre des arts et des lettres by the French government.
In 1992, Felix's son, Enrique, published a book of his photographs of his mother, with a prologue by Octavio Paz. She herself published an autobiography, Todas Mis Guerras, in 1993 and, after Enrique's death in 1996, a posthumous homage to him.
Apart from her professional career, Felix was often in the news. She was married four times, first to Enrique Alvarez (1931-38), with whom she had her son. On their divorce, Alvarez kidnapped the child, who was rescued by Felix and her second husband (1943-47), the singer-songwriter Agustin Lara. Her third husband, Jorge Negrete, died of hepatitis 14 months after their marriage in 1952, and, on her return to Mexico with his remains, she was criticised for wearing trousers. Her fourth husband, a Swiss businessman, Alex Berger, whom she married in 1956, died in 1974.
Felix was much painted by famous artists, including Jean Cocteau and Diego Rivera (one of her numerous ex-lovers), who, to her fury, portrayed her in a transparent dress. She also inspired many writers, including Paz and Carlos Fuentes.
She consorted with the rich and famous all her life, was dressed by top designers and, in 1984, was nominated in France and Italy as one of the world's best-dressed women. King Farouk of Egypt allegedly offered her Nefertiti's crown for one night of love.
Felix avoided potential opprobrium when a projected film, based on Zona Sagrada by Fuentes, dealing with an incestuous relationship between a film star and her son, failed to materialise; she and Enrique were to have appeared in the movie. There was talk that the plot was based on their relationship, a supposition never substantiated, although the two were emotionally very close.
Felix collected porcelain, carpets, jewellery, silver (including a silver bedhead designed by Rivera), cashmere shawls, Chinese costume, books and antique furniture. In 1990, an exhibition of paintings in Tijuana by her much younger lover, Antoine Tzapoff, included a portrait of her astride a rhinoceros. At the same time, there was a retrospective of her more nationalist films and a homage to her career.
Felix spent her later years moving between Paris, where she owned a racehorse stable, and Mexico City. She remained the subject of media interest, including a four-hour television programme. Paz wrote that she had invented herself; be that as it may, undoubtedly her life was dedicated to maintaining her legend and its myths, both on and off screen.
Maria de Los Angeles Felix Guerena, actor, collector and racehorse owner, born April 8 1914; died April 8 2002.

Together...where I want to be
most of the time that is. Sometimes I just want to get away from it all, but they're so darn cute and handsome that it makes me so happy to be a part of this family. I'm really trying to be a better mom and wife, because I know if I do, that will make them better people too. Have a great day!

Coming Home
When Jonah was born he was diagnosed with Transient Tachypnea of a Newborn. His lungs were still wet and his respiratory rate was off the charts. We had to stay an extra day but soon he was the picture of health. They bathed him, brought him to me, I dressed him and buckled him securely into his car seat. He was coming home and I couldn't have been happier.

Jonah's first ouchie...
You know when you're watching your child and then in slow motion (it seems) they begin to fall and there's absolutely nothing you can do...you're to far away...to slow and then the aftermath of bloody noses and skin scrapes is just so sad and a testament to the world that you're a bad mom...well that's how I feel anyways. I wanted to document just such a story. Used some old bandaid stickers and enjoyed it. Have a great day.

3.2.ONE...blast off.
Jonah turns TWO today so it's only fitting that I finally finished the layout of his first birthday! Honestly, I'm so behind on scrapping but I still love it I don't think I'll ever just give up...it's too much fun. The poor boy has strep throat and he's been really whiny but I'm going to make him cupcakes and visit with some friends this afternoon. I'm sure he'll like that. He really has completed our family. I love the way the other children interact with him and try to include them in their activities. He makes us so happy...I just can't believe he's already TWO!!!!

So I'm playing catchup. I really want to be better at scrapbooking. I love it. I love capturing the memories. This little moment in time where Travis just adored his brand new baby boy...it's precious and so is that dang beard of his, NOT. He actually went home right after this and shaved it...just waiting 'til the boy was born I guess. Have a great day!

Garden Grow
that's how my garden grows. Zucchini, anyone know why they heck it won't grow uniformly?!?!? This one here below was a forgotton corner monster. I looked down today and there it was, holy cajoly, it was huge! But then the skinny long smile up above would feed five people easily. Oh, and yes I really need to prime and paint that dresser now to match the hutch. I know it will look so much better, but once I do my little secret will really be out...shhhh I'm not going to tell you yet.
PS, why do I still look FAT to myself when I'm wearing a size 6?!?!?!?!? UGH!

Girly Cap
So I tried this cap again and I made it bigger because Tess is going to be 8...I think I definitely like the tighter cap which is 20 inches in circumfrance. It just stays better.
She's thrilled so I won't complain too much but in the future I'll make sure to measure heads before sewing. Have a great day!

Using a tutorial found HERE at "I Am Momma Hear Me Roar",upcyled boy hat, I made this hat for Aaron in about an hour...it only took an hour because I DON'T sew...except for on paper and straight lines for curtains and such. The most difficult thing for me was sewing the "bias tape" around the edges of the hat. I missed in a bunch of places and had to pull out the stitches and do it again. I'm sure anyone who's even a moderate sewer can put one of these together in 30-45 minutes. I used a bunch of old t-shirst the boys had that were destined for the thrift store-hence the upcycle part of the project. Enjoy and I hope you all have as much fun making this project as I did. Aaron loves it and ALL the kids want me to make one for them now...I can see a girly flap hat in Tessa's future!!! Have a great day.

Rainy Day Earrings
I've been having a lot of fun creating mixed media jewlery. These embossed paper clouds are just the thing to wear when you want a little pick-me-up or a conversation starter. I love how sparkly they are. I entered them in the state fair and I think I got second place in the rubber stamping/jewelry category. That's a new one for me. Hope y'all have a great day!

Vintage Floral
I made this card for the "non-occasion" category. Stampin Up's Fifth Avenue Floral stamped and embossed with white. I used my water brush and re-inker to color in the flowers with Regal Rose and Rose Red. I sponged Creamy Caramel and Close to Cocoa ink around the edges and then hand stitched the corners with embroidery floss and DONE! I love the way this came out...I made a similar card for a friends birthday a few months back. Have a great day.

Happy Boo To You!
This is my state fair entry for the "Holiday" Category. I had tons of fun creating this card. I LOVE this set called Booglie Eyes by stampin up. I hand stitched the spiders drop down web and added silvery touches to the webs. Have a great day!

CLEVELAND, Ohio -- Boston architect Miguel Rosales is virtually certain to design a second high-profile lakefront pedestrian bridge for Cleveland.
A selection committee of city, county and nonprofit officials has recommended a team including Rosales and the engineering firm of Parsons Brinckerhoff as the top choice among six contenders to design a new, $25 million lakefront pedestrian bridge that will span railroad lines and the Shoreway to connect the downtown Mall to North Coast Harbor.
The recommendation makes it all but certain that Rosales, a respected designer whose credits include the Leonard Zakim Bunker Hill Bridge in Boston, will shape the quarter-mile-long bike and pedestrian walkway that will link the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum to the city's new convention center and convention hotel.
The bridge is considered a critically important way to address a longstanding liability in Cleveland -- the city's poor connectivity to the Lake Erie waterfront.
"We are confident we have a team that can give us what we want: an iconic structure" on the Cleveland lakefront, said Ann Zoller, executive director of LAND Studio, the nonprofit spearheading a makeover of major downtown spaces for the city's Group Plan Commission.
The selection committee included Zoller; Bonnie Teeuwen, the county's director of public works; Chris Ronayne, president of University Circle Inc. and a member of the Group Plan Commission; and Cleveland city planning director Freddy Collier.
Also on the committee were Matt Spronz, the city's director of capital projects; David Marquard, construction and design administrator for the county; Matt Carroll, chief of staff for Cuyahoga County Executive Ed FitzGerald; and Ellis Katz, a director at Project Management Consultants, which is advising the county on the convention hotel project.
The county planned to announce the first place ranking of the Rosales/Parsons team Thursday morning. Cuyahoga County Council is scheduled to review the recommendation at its Tuesday, Aug. 26, meeting, and will likely approve the team at its Sept. 9 meeting, county officials said.
The county-led bridge project is aiming for completion in 2016 in time for the Republican National Convention.
The walkway will be the second lakefront pedestrian bridge designed by Rosales in Cleveland. The architect belongs to a team including the Cleveland office of CDM Smith that designed an $8 million pedestrian drawbridge for the city at North Coast Harbor scheduled for completion in 2017.
That 142-foot bridge will create a continuous pedestrian loop by spanning the west side of the seven-acre harbor, where a boat channel now separates the Great Lakes Science Center from Voinovich Park.
Bridges as structural art
Born in Guatemala in 1961, Rosales earned a diploma in architecture at Universidad Francisco Marroquin in Guatemala City in 1985, followed by a master's degree in architectural studies at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1987.
He has made it his mission to bring an artistic touch to the often-prosaic business of designing bridges in the United States. He specializes in elegant, eye-catching, bone-thin structures such as the $4.5 million Liberty Bridge over the Reedy River in Greenville, S.C., a pedestrian span that has helped spark more than $100 million in development.
In Boston, Rosales was the lead architect and urban designer for the Bunker Hill Bridge, which he co-designed with the renowned Swiss engineer Christian Menn.
In addition to his work on the downtown lakefront in Cleveland, Rosales designed a concept for a dramatic, S-shaped pedestrian bridge that would link the Cleveland Museum of Art and the Fine Arts Garden to the future West Campus of Case Western Reserve University.
He also designed concepts for the Lake Link Trail bridge that will help connect Wendy Park at Whiskey Island to Ohio City. The Wendy Park and CWRU bridges are on hold, pending further design development and fundraising and have not been scheduled for construction.
Meeting the deadline
Teeuwen said in an interview Tuesday she is certain the lakefront pedestrian bridge from the Mall to North Coast Harbor will be finished by 2016.
"There wasn't any hesitation in my voice, was there?" she said, smiling, after affirming her confidence.
Unlike the $8 million pedestrian bridge at the harbor, which has been nine years in the making so far and won't be finished for another three, the county's pedestrian bridge will move more quickly, Teeuwen said.
The drawbridge at the harbor is funded primarily with federal and state dollars, requiring lengthy reviews that upped the cost. The funding for the pedestrian bridge from the Mall to the harbor is predominantly local and comes with fewer strings, Teeuwen said.
The city and county have each pledged $10 million for the bridge; another $5 million will come from the Ohio Department of Natural Resources, Teeuwen said.
It is not known yet, she said, whether the new bridge will be concrete or steel, enclosed or open – or a combination, and whether it might include a moving sidewalk.
Public meetings to gather concepts and aspirations for the bridge would begin within weeks, and meetings with lakefront stakeholders would begin even sooner, she said.
Other contenders
In addition to the Rosales/Parsons team, the other five groups competing for the bridge assignment were the engineering firm of Michael Baker, with Bridgescape; the engineering firm of DLZ with EndreStudio; Sasaki & Associates with Osborn Engineering of Cleveland; the engineering firm of Thornton Tomasetti with the Seattle architecture firm of LMN and the Cleveland architecture firm of Van Auken Akins; and the engineering firm of URS with Touchstone Architecture.
Jeremy Paris, director of the Group Plan Commission, originally formed by Mayor Frank Jackson to improve downtown civic spaces, said the pedestrian bridge will help the city realize a long-held civic dream of creating a gracious pedestrian pathway from Tower City Center across Public Square and the Mall to the lakefront.
The bridge will span 11 lanes of traffic shared by freeway ramps, the Shoreway, South Marginal Road and Erieside Avenue. It also has to be built over active rail lines owned by CSX, Norfolk-Southern and the Greater Regional Transit Authority.
Paris called the quarter-mile swath of railroads and traffic lanes that separate downtown from Lake Erie "the moat of Cleveland."
And he said the collaborative effort among the city and county to build the bridge represents follow-through on pledges made by Jackson and FitzGerald in 2013 when they announced a joint plan to improve downtown's outdoor spaces and to build a convention hotel.
Other projects on the Group Plan Commission's agenda include a $30 million makeover of Public Square scheduled for groundbreaking this fall, plus enhancements to the city's downtown Mall, which doubles as the green roof of the new convention center.
The Public Square project, for which nearly half of the funds have been raised through donations from the Cleveland and Gund foundations, is also scheduled for completion in less than two years, in time for the Republican National Convention here in 2016.
The pedestrian bridge, Paris said, "is going to be a critical piece of connective tissue between Public Square, developments on the Mall and what's happening on the lakefront."

Starting and finishing emails
Here are some important points to consider when starting and finishing an email.
Formal or informal?
We write a formal email when we want to be polite, or when we do not know the reader very well. A lot of work emails are formal. We write informal emails when we want to be friendly, or when we know the reader well. A lot of social emails are informal. Here are some examples of formal and informal messages:
|An email to a customer
A job application
An email to your manager
A complaint to a shop
An email from one company to another company
A birthday greeting to a colleague
Before you start writing an email, decide if you want to write a formal email or an informal one.
Layout and punctuation
Starting an email: We normally write a comma after the opening phrase. We start a new line after the name of the person we're writing to.
Finishing an email: We normally write a comma after the closing phrase. We start a new line to write our name at the end.
Dear Mr Piper,
Hi Tim,
Phrases for starting and finishing
Here are some phrases which we use for starting and finishing emails. We use these in formal and informal emails:
|Starting phrases
|Dear Tim,
Good morning Tim,
|Ending phrases
With best wishes,
With many thanks and best wishes,
You also need to know which phrases to use only in a formal email or an informal one:
|Starting phrases
|Dear Mr Piper,
Dear Sir or Madam,
|Hi Tim,
Hi there Tim,
Morning/Afternoon/Evening Tim,
Hello again Tim,
|Ending phrases
|Yours sincerely,
Yours faithfully,
Yours truly,
Bye for now,
See you soon,
Language level
Hello englishman332,
Both phrases are fine. 'I look forward to hearing from you soon' is more formal but it is quite normal.
There are variants for other situations:
I look forward to hearing from / seeing / speaking to / meeting / talking to you.
The LearnEnglish Team
Hello attar_adv,
The sentence should read 'Here are some phrases...'
Thank you for spotting this mistake! We always proofread our material to check for errors and typos, but some inevitably creep through and it is very helpful when observant people spot them for us.
Thanks again,
The LearnEnglish Team
Hello saadat.f,
I would say that beginning with "Dear Professor...' is the safest option here. It really depends upon your relationship, however, and that is something I cannot judge.
Remember that the word is 'message', not 'massage'. A massage is something that can help you if you have problems with your back, for example, but probably not something you get from your professor!
The LearnEnglish Team
Hi Babak,
I'm afraid it's difficult for me to give you a definitive answer to this question, as it really depends on the kind of relationship you have with your colleague. In some cultures, an informal message from a subordinate to someone above them in the hierarchy is acceptable, but in others it is not. You might want to consider how you would do it if you were writing in Farsi and then do the same in English -- assuming that your colleague is also from Iran. Does that make sense? I'd also say that, in general, it's better to be too formal than it is to be too informal.
All the best,
The LearnEnglish Team
Hello Maya_Maya,
I think the vocative comma is used less consistently than in the past but most style guides still include it. A lot depends on the context. In formal writing, the comma should certainly be used. In informal writing, it is often omitted. In certain media, such as online interaction, punctuation is less consistently used.
You can find a discussion of the topic here.
The LearnEnglish Team
Hello XuMinHa,
'Just thought' is 'I just thought' with the subject left out, which is common in informal speaking. People often use 'I just thought' to soften what they say -- see this page for an explanation of this and other uses of 'just'. The idea is that we don't want to assume the other person will be interested in what we say, so we use 'just' to make our suggestion seem less important. That is how Hairuddin used 'just' in the sentence you mention.
'Just a thought' is 'It's just a thought'. Here, too, 'just' is used to soften and the idea is similar: I'm not sure I'm right, but this is an idea I have.
Does that make sense?
All the best,
The LearnEnglish Team

"Project X Extended Cut" to the break of dawn, yo!" follows three seemingly anonymous high school seniors—Thomas, Costa and J.B.—as they attempt to finally make a name for themselves. Their idea is innocent enough: let's throw a party that no one will forget, and have a camera there, to document history in the making... but nothing could prepare them for this party. Word spreads quickly as dreams are ruined, records are blemished and legends are born. "Project X Extended Cut" to the break of dawn, yo!" is a warning to parents and police everywhere.

Common Sense Says
All-night-party movie has rampant teen sex, drinking, more.
What Parents Need to Know
Parents need to know that Project X -- a very raunchy comedy about three high school seniors who throw a huge party that spins wildly out of control -- is packed with constant strong language ("f--k," "s--t," and much more), topless teens, sexual situations, graphic sexual innuendo, and excessive teen drinking and drug use (Ecstasy and pot). Punches are thrown, and though there's no actual fighting, the party has an increasing air of danger and violence (a flamethrower appears in the final act). The movie is funny in a shocking way, but parents will be appalled at its message: that a shy teen "needs" a huge party to break out of his shell and become a social success, regardless of the fact that the cost is thousands of dollars in damage.

The FTTH Council APAC Anuual Conference in Seoul last week was the second of three such conferences worldwide (the third will be in Las Vegas in September) and as such a second round of numbers was released. I won't dwell on these in this post, but would rather like to focus on a related topic that I've been mulling over for a while and that a discussion with a sharp mind of my acquaintance helped me cristallise.
When the European numbers were released last week, a sharp increase in French numbers was noted, and that surprised me (and many other analysts) since the official FTTH numbers for France released by ARCEP were dismal. Legitimately, many of us queried the company producing the results for the FTTH Council, namely Idate.
It turns out that the reason the numbers in France spiked is due to the deployment method of cable operator Numéricable. Because Numéricable's deployment is mostly in urban areas and because urban areas in France are mostly multi-dwelling habitat, Numéricable has traditionally hosted its amplifiers in the basement of buildings. Thus, while their architecture is technically what the pundits would call FTTLA (Fiber to the Last Amplifier), Idate reclassified it as FTTB (Fiber to the Building).
There was some puzzlement at this decision from various parties, and it's not for me to judge whether it's the right or the wrong thing to do to promote FTTH (which is, after all, the core aim of the Councils). The fact is that according to the definition of terms agreed upon by the three Councils, Idate is correct to reclassify Numéricable's FTTLA as FTTB:
"Fiber to the Building" is defined as a communications architecture in which the
final connection to the subscriber's premises is a communication medium other
than fiber.
The fiber communications path is terminated on the premises for the purpose of carrying communications for a single building with potentially multiple
Since most of Numéricable's network has the amplifier inside the buildings it serves, it's FTTB by that definition.
Taking it one step further, it's quite clear that the ultimate path for cable and fiber architectures are identical on the passive layer. The active solutions might be different (although I'm told that there's renewed interest in EPON from Tier2 US Cable Operators, so even that may end up not being true) but the passive plant is going to look increasingly similar.
Which raises the question: in whose interest is it to present these architectures as radically different ? The answer is actually that it's in everyone's interest.
The telcos want to mark the differentiation because they hope the term of fiber itself will drive adoption. In other words, by stating that what they are deploying is fiber and what the other guy is deploying is not, they hope that customers will perceive a difference and go for fiber. They're mostly misguided, in my opinion, as most customers purchase services as opposed to a physical wire, but clearly the cable guys think customers are dumb too because they've spent a lot of money trying to convince customers that they were doing fiber too.
And yet outside of the realm of marketing, cablecos are making damn sure that the powers that be, and regulators in particular, know that their network is very different from the fiber network the telcos are deploying. Very different. Why ? Because they fear that if regulators start looking at quasi-ubiquitous cable networks as "just another high capacity network" they are going to want to impose the same kind of regulatory obligations to their network that they impose to the telcos'.
The fact is that despite what everyone involved is trying to pretend, the cable and the fiber networks are increasingly similar in capacity and in services delivered. The artificial regulatory divide that made sense when cable was about TV and telco was about telephony makes no sense whatsoever anymore.
It's high time that regulators start looking at this level-headedly and apply the same obligations to dominant players in any given market no matter which network is powering their services.
Fable, or Ciber ?

Bad Use of Natural Languages at Corinth
by Evangelist John R. Rice
(Chapter 3 from Dr. Rice's excellent book, Speaking in Tongues)
There are many good people who are misled on this matter of speaking with tongues. They are very eager people. Often they are good Christians in the sense that they want all God has, and they want to please God. They are spiritually-minded, good people, but often they are rather ignorant of the Bible and that makes them a prey to people who come along with false doctrine and a good deal of emotion .and exhortation, with not much Bible teaching. But I want to show you what the Bible teaches.
Let us say it very clearly again, I believe in the enduement of power from on High. Most all evangelists, and certainly all those who are greatly used of God in soul winning, believe that one must have an enduement of power from God in order to do the blessed work of soul winning. I advise everybody, all the time to listen to the command of God to "be filled with the Spirit," to seek the enduement of power from on High. But on the matter of talking in tongues, a lot of people get the shell and not the main thing; a lot of people get the outward form they seek but they don't get any power. And so it gets to be an artificial substitute for what God is talking about -- the mighty power of God to win souls.
I remind you also that the one definitive case about talking in tongues in the Bible is in Acts, chapter 2. And there, devout men out of every nation under Heaven, Jews, came at this feast of Pentecost to Jerusalem. These people heard the Gospel in their own tongue in which they were born. God gave others power to preach to them and to hear them and tell them the plan of salvation. And so three thousand people were saved.
Now, it is a foolish thing to talk about Pentecost and not talk about what God is talking about. God was concerned about three thousand people being saved. That is what the whole thing is about, and that is what you ought to rejoice about, and that is what you ought to try to copy. They had the power of God to win souls. It is true, there was an incidental gift. I say incidental because it was a temporary matter. Here was an emergency, here were some people they wanted to preach to and they couldn't talk their languages, so God gave the miraculous power to talk in those languages in which other people had been born, and to give the Gospel to them in their languages. That is the case at Pentecost.
And I showed you there are nine certain gifts of the Spirit, and that God gives those "severally as he will," and not by your choice. We are taught to "covet earnestly the best gifts," and so we are taught to pray for a special enduement of power to prophesy or to witness in the power of the Holy Spirit. We are taught, "If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God." That is good, but nobody is ever encouraged to seek to talk in tongues or to seek a gift of tongues. It is not commanded, it is not even advised. It is a separate matter not often given in Bible times and certainly not often given now. Why? Because there is no occasion for it. It is not often that one meets somebody whose language you cannot understand and who cannot understand you. It is very rarely that one would need to ask God to give you a language so you can talk to a foreigner about Christ. So the gift of tongues was never very important, never often used in the Bible, and certainly not often used now. Oh, there is a lot of fraud and good people get hysterical; but what people seek today is not the same gift of tongues people had in the Bible, unless it is for the same kind of work that they had at the time of Pentecost.
Now let us seek to have not just some thing to make a big show and claim we have something others haven't. Let us seek to have the power of God, seek to witness for Him and win souls. And let us learn from the Bible how to do it.
First Corinthians, chapter 14 is a strange chapter, strange because it goes into the whole matter of a tongues heresy they had at Corinth. You say, "Was that a heresy?" Yes. You say, "Didn't they talk in tongues?" They talked in different natural languages. It is very clear in this Scripture. Now they have to be given some restraint and some rules about it, in I Corinthians 14.
Had it been of God, you wouldn't have to have any restraint. Nowhere in the Bible does God say to people, "I have given you the power to work miracles but take it easy. Don't do it so often." The Bible never says, "You who have a gift of healing, don't two of you heal people at the same time."
But God does say that about the kind of tongues they had here in this chapter. Why? Because there were natural tongues being misused, trying to copy after the gift of tongues. So there is restraint and rebuke for what they were doing at Corinth. Now, why would you seek to have what they had at. Corinth when the Bible says what they had was wrong, and God is rebuking them for it?
Let us read now the first twelve verses of I Corinthians 14:
"Follow after charity [Christian love], and desire spiritual gifts, but rather than ye may prophesy. For he that speaketh in an unknown tongue [unknown is not in the original, so here it is in italics] speaketh not unto men, but unto God: for no man understandeth him; howbeit in the spirit he speaketh mysteries."
Suppose somebody is talking in French and he can talk mysteries. He understands it, but I don't. Then, talking in French in a meeting where nobody understands. French is the thing he is rebuking here. He is speaking "mysteries."
"But he that prophesieth [that is, witnesses in the power of the Spirit] speaketh unto men to edification, and exhortation, and comfort. He that seaketh in an unknown tongue [again unknown is not in the original Greek here, so he that speaks in a foreign language] edifieth himself...."
That is, the person enjoys testifying in French, for example, but nobody else can enjoy it because people don't know what he is saying. He speaks in a language they cannot understand.
". . but he that prophesieth edifieth the church."
That is, one who speaks in the power of God in an ordinary language edifies others, and one can't do that talking in a foreign language to people. Now, it is obvious to see that he is putting a certain restraint on what they did and correcting some faults they had at Corinth. Now, does God ever give a miracle and then rebuke somebody for using it? I don't think so. Then it is not a miraculous gift they are talking about here. But read on:
"I would that ye all spake with tongues [I would like it if you all talked several languages], but rather that ye prophesied: for greater is he that prophesieth than he that speaketh with tongues, except he in terpret .... "
That is, if you are going to talk in a foreign language no one understands, you do no good, so it is better to be filled with the Spirit and witness for God in the language people can understand.
"...that the church may receive edifying. Now, brethren, if I come unto you speaking with tongues [speaking in foreign languages], what shall I profit you, except I shall speak to you either by revelation, or by knowledge, or by prophesying, or by doctrine? [If I don't say something you can understand, he says, why talk?] And even things without life giving sound, whether pipe or harp, except they give a distinction in the sounds, how shall it be known what is piped or harped?"
A child may pound on a piano, but you should play a tune. Just so, when you go to talk, it ought to have meaning.
"For if the trumpet give an uncertain sound, who shall prepare himself to the battle?"
When I was in the army there was a certain call for morning reveille, a, certain mess call, a certain call for retreat, a certain call for taps at night. Those had to sound a certain way. If you give a strange set of sounds that has no melody or doesn't have any set form, that wouldn't do any good. That is how it is when one talks a foreign language to people who can't understand him. Now read verse 9:
"So likewise ye, except ye utter by the tongue words easy to be understood, how shall it be known what is spoken? for ye shall speak into the air. There are, it may be, so many kinds of voices in the world [all kinds of foreign languages], and none of them is without signification. Every one of them has meaning. This is not talking [about some heavenly jabber but about the various languages, and they all have meaning.]
"Therefore if I know not the meaning of the voice, I shall be unto him that speaketh a barbarian, and he that speaketh shall be a barbarian unto me. Even so ye, forasmuch as ye are zealous of spiritual gifts, seek that ye may excel to the edifying of the church." -- I Cor. 14:1-12.
What is that? Seek to say things in a language that can be understood, one which will bless people, the Scripture says here. So what they had at Corinth was a kind of a tongues heresy that needed to be rebuked. You say, "This is the unknown tongue." Notice throughout this chapter the word unknown is in italics which means the translators want us to understand it is not in the Greek form. You might not know Latin and that would be unknown to you, but the word "unknown" is not in the original here. It might be that if somebody talked in French, it would be unknown to you. That is what the translators were thinking about. But the word "unknown" is not in these Scriptures. This is not about "unknown" tongues except natural languages that are unknown to somebody. They were foreign languages. That is what the word means everywhere. God doesn't say they had a gift of tongues; He doesn't say miraculous tongues in this case. He is correcting the way they used foreign languages in that church at Corinth.
Now, you say, "They were foreign languages?" Yes. Why otherwise the rebuke? Why would he say then, "I would rather you speak five words people can understand than ten thousand words in an unknown tongue"? Why would he say that if they did not need correction? Now, remember this, God never gives a miracle and then rebukes it. If God had given a miraculous gift of tongues and God's Holy Spirit gave them tongues, then God wouldn't be rebuking it. At Corinth, then, they had a heresy -- using natural languages in the services. They thought that made them superior to their "unlearned" brethren.
Were these then talking natural languages? Yes. I want you to notice one word, "unlearned." It is mentioned several times. Verse 6 says,
"Now, brethren, if I come unto you speaking with tongues, what shall I profit you, except I shall speak to you either by revelation, or by knowledge, or by prophesying, or by doctrine?"
Words ought to mean something, even to the unlearned. And notice "unlearned" in verses 16, 23 and 24. Let us read verse 16:
"Else when thou shalt bless with the spirit, how shall he that occupieth the room of the unlearned say Amen at thy giving of thanks, seeing he understandeth not what thou sayest?"
Notice the word "unlearned." We are talking about a spiritual gift here that was going on at Corinth. We are talking about their using languages that unlearned, uneducated people could not understand. "Unlearned" comes up again in verses 23 and 24. Here he says:
"If therefore the whole church be come together into one place, and all speak with tongues [all speak with foreign languages; it doesn't say a miraculous gift of tongues], and there come in those that are unlearned, or unbelievers, will they not say that ye are mad? [They will say that you are crazy]"
You say, "But I know Koine Greek in which Paul writes his letters. Over here at Corinth maybe we talk another language," or "Maybe we know they have learned Latin because the Roman soldiers are here." But common people don't know it. Then the Scripture says here that if somebody comes in who is unlearned, uneducated, who hasn't learned that language, won't he say you are crazy? And there is some reason for that. See verse 24 again:
"But if all prophesy, and there come in one that believeth not [one unlearned] · · ." you can witness to him in the power of the Spirit and he will understand it.
"Unlearned" -- why does he use it? He is not talking about unspiritual but about people who haven't learned these various languages they are using at Corinth.
Now, what are you going to do about it? Well, he puts certain restrictions on it. He says if you are going to have them talking in foreign languages, have somebody interpret, and have somebody do it one at a time, and not more than two or three in a service.
I was in a revival campaign in Oklahoma. One night we had a blessed time. Some Indians were there from various tribes. One day a man was there and he said, "I have a friend here from the Kaw Indian tribe. He has been saved and would like to testify about what God has done for him, but he can't speak English. Can he speak in his?"
I said, "If you will interpret what he says, he may. Otherwise there is no use in him testifying. He would enjoy telling it to edify himself, but he wouldn't do anybody else any good unless somebody interpret."
So here the Lord is saying about these people at Corinth, "If you are going to have a foreign language that nobody can understand, you can't take any part. But tell them they must have somebody tell us what they say when they witness, and it has to be intelligent, and only one at a time, and only two or three in a service because you mustn't make a great deal about talking in foreign languages."
You see, then, it is all right for people of different languages and different cultural levels to come together in the church and do the work of God, but remember, all is supposed to make sense. Things must be done "decently and in order." And if you play the piano, it is supposed to have a tune, not just a sound. If you talk, it is supposed to have clear meaning. Paul says, "I would rather speak five words that can be understood than ten thousand words that cannot be understood."
Now, I want you to notice some restrictions that God puts here on this. First of all, there is a clear restriction on this. The fact that God puts restrictions on what they were doing at Corinth shows us that what they were doing was wrong. When God rebukes what they were doing, it shows it is not miraculous, not God-given. God never gave a miracle and then rebuked somebody for the way he used it. God never gives somebody a miraculous gift and then be angry with the way they use it. No, miraculous gifts don't need rebuking, don't need a restraint put on them; but they did in the use of natural languages over in Corinth.
Note then, on other gifts of the Spirit, did God ever say, "Here are two people working miracles. You are working too many miracles. You will have to slow it down"? Or did He say, "Here, two of you are working miracles at the same time. You mustn't do that"? Or did He say, "There are two of you here with the gift of healings and everybody is confused about it"? No rebuke on that. Why? It is a miracle. If God gives a miracle, it doesn't need any rebuke. It is done right or God wouldn't put His power on it.
And so what they had at Corinth was not done in the power of God. It was ordinary foreign languages, putting on a show in church, and so it is rebuked here.
Notice some other things where there were some misunderstanding about here. Somebody says, "But Paul said, 'I speak with more tongues than you all.'" That is verse 18. "I thank my God, I speak with tongues more than ye all." Don't put in it what God didn't put in it. Paul didn't say, "I have a gift of tongues more than ye all." He said, "I am better educated. I know more languages." Paul is writing this in the Koine Greek; his own native language was Aramaic. He also could understand Hebrew and he spoke in Hebrew sometimes and he sometimes probably spoke in Latin. So Paul said, "In addition to my own native tongue I preach in Koine Greek everywhere I go. I do that more than all of you, but I don't do it for a show." And neither should you.
