● CEO Richard Ells says the disruptive software update will unlock a transformational second half to 2019 for Electroneum.
● Electroneum joins the likes of IBM and Facebook in launching a new type open ledger coined the Moderated Blockchain.
● Electroneum's ETN cryptocurrency is becoming increasingly appealing to the corporate world as well as governments, paving the way to partnerships that will help improve the lives of many while also leading the way in sustainability.
LONDON-Tuesday 9 July 2019 [ AETOS Wire ]
(BUSINESS WIRE) -- Electroneum has focused on progress and standing out in the crypto space and beyond through technologically disruptive developments since launch of its highly successful ICO in September of 2017. As a result of the relentless creativity of the talented tech team, the time has come for another transformational software update. And because the update places Electroneum's new Moderated Blockchain (a type of permissioned blockchain) at the same level as IBM's Hyperledger and Facebook's announced Libra network, it makes their cryptocurrency, ETN, one of the most secure and eco-friendly in the world.
The update means Electroneum has made a significant shift to their existing blockchain to introduce two new concepts. Electroneum's new blockchain is known as a Moderated Blockchain powered by its unique Proof-of-Responsibility (PoR) system, which enables a wide array of benefits, including virtually becoming invulnerable to 51% attacks, increased scalability and unlocking significant corporate partnerships.
This is especially important because Electroneum is increasingly becoming appealing to major companies as well as governments as it was the first to make their cryptocurrency AML and KYC compliant, paving the way to major corporate deals and partnerships with influential NGOs that will spur mass adoption and help improve the lives of many around the globe whom are currently financially excluded.
Electroneum also prioritises sustainability and significantly reducing its carbon footprint. The Moderated Blockchain helps do just that as it allows for hash rates to be reduced by millions of times from various giga hashes to under a kilo hash, making their ETN token, as of today, one of the world's most eco-friendly cryptos.
Electroneum CEO Richard Ells says the unprecedented software update helps unlock a fantastic second half to 2019. "It makes our cryptocurrency virtually insusceptible to 51% attacks, whilst reducing the emission of ETN to miners by a massive 75%.
"The move to what we have coined as Proof of Responsibility (PoR) allows us to educate NGOs in our target regions about the benefits of cryptocurrency." Ells adds. "Furthering the understanding of cryptocurrency by allowing the NGOs to directly benefit from the block reward has never been done – and it opens the doors to the NGOs using ETN on the ground directly with the unbanked and underbanked. Now that we are no longer susceptible to double-spend or 51% attack we can increase the speed of transfer on our blockchain, benefitting those who matter most: our users."
The upgrade and 75% block reward reduction do not affect users nor their mobile cloud mining rewards in any way. They will all continue to receive up to US$3 worth of ETN every month.
However, the reduction in block rewards does affect those validating blocks on the blockchain with purpose-built mining equipment. Prior to the move, the large mining pools were receiving their block rewards and selling them directly on the exchanges. This will no longer take place.
When explaining the new Moderated Blockchain, Electroneum's Head of Blockchain, Chris Harrison, says "we have created a clever and absolutely unique way to shield the validator's private key00s from an attack or double-spend in the event hackers were to gain access to the miners' servers."
Harrison adds that Electroneum will "have minimal interference, controlling only those who can mine on the network. This level of safety on the blockchain makes Electroneum more secure than all other decentralised cryptos by moderating the network and enabling early detection of hack attempts to prevent an attack from escalating."
For those interested in the technical makeup of Electroneum's PoR blockchain, the network still remains decentralised. Also, by hand selecting a limited number of trusted miners, Electroneum is able to authenticate each miner using unique authentication keys, which can be switched off at any time, thus alleviating the risk of a 51% attack.
"In the unlikely case both a miner's equipment and authentication code are hacked, Electroneum's system will notify them of a potential risk, enabling them to shut down the miner almost instantaneously.," Harrison says.
Electroneum's announcement includes disruptive changes regarding validators as the new trusted ETN miners are NGOs, some of which will be disclosed in the coming days. They are aligned with Electroneum's vision and goals to empower people in the poorest regions around the globe as well as improving their lives.
"Prior to our move to PoR, we consulted carefully with influential NGOs to gauge their interest in mining ETN and were astounded by the response received," says Electroneum Chief Marketing Officer Conor Doyle. "Whilst these organisations will remain anonymous for now, they will go public with their mining activities soon, showcasing the amazing initiatives that have been made possible with ETN mining."
The On 13 May 2019, IBM wrote that "though anonymous public blockchains afford a number of powerful capabilities, they are not suitable for most enterprises, particularly those in regulated industries."
IBM's Hyperledger, which runs on a permissioned blockchain as well, has received tremendous support from global titans, including Walmart, Amazon, JPMorgan, Cargill and many others.
Electroneum stands out for many reasons, such as being the only cryptocurrency firm to launch an affordable US$80 smartphone with enhanced ETN mining as well as helping financially-marginated people to live their lives on their own terms.
Therefore, as of today, Electroneum is one of the very few blockchain projects to join the likes of IBM and Facebook to develop their original and very unique mainnet, utilising authenticated miners in place of anonymous ones to guarantee their users, miners, and exchanges a 100% secure network.
About Electroneum
Having attracted nearly 3.1 million users in just under two years, Electroneum is making tremendous strides towards its vision of mass adoption in developing regions:
First truly mobile cryptocurrency, offering a "mobile cloud miner" that enables users to earn up to US$3 in ETN every single month.
Word's first KYC/AML cryptocurrency, ensuring Electroneum is positively received by governments and financial institutions worldwide.
First cryptocurrency to launch in-app, allowing users to top up their airtime and data using ETN.
Only cryptocurrency to have launched an on/the/ground activation campaign in South Africa, educating an on boarding new users every single day.
Only cryptocurrency to have launched an affordable US$80 smartphone, allowing people in developing regions to own a new phone for the price of a reconditioned phone.
First cryptocurrency to have exhibited at the world's largest exhibition for the mobile industry; Mobile World Congress (Electroneum have exhibited two years running).

This is going to be a long post…
If you're totally addicted to cookbooks and collect them, you're gonna have a ball scanning all these images. If you're not a book person, well… I recommend that you have a look at my newborn photographic portfolio HERE ;)
I've walked passed this gorgeous store in Glebe many time but had a hungry husband or ultra dynamic kids with me. Recently I found myself by miracle alone… in Glebe! Yay! I pushed the door and to be honest, I wasn't expecting such an immense cookbook section! The choice here is mind boggling! You will find a lot of local authors or restaurateurs and many from all around the world.
At Gleebooks, the organisation of themes and books is well… a bit hectic. Books are everywhere, in curved (by the weight) wooden shelves, on the floor, on top of shelves, in display rotating shelves, anywhere.
That day I bought the marvellous Spice Temple book by Neil Perry, a real gem for people passionate about authentic Chinese food especially from the Sichuan province.
Next trip I will buy Matthew Evans' Summer. I had the privilege to meet the famous farmer in Canberra last year at the Australian Food Blogging Conference. I had to fix my make-up after an hour conference. I was crying of laughter non stop… He is such a clever, passionate and indeed funny guy, his books reflect all this and are delightful. His battle for real good food is mine too. His book Not Just Jam is wonderful.
There is no alphabetical order and only rare themes (vegetarian, alcohol). It's a bit like flee market shopping except that everything's new and many of the books are very trendy. On this shelf I have bought (somewhere else), the World Cheese Book which is a fascinating read and reference book and also Preserving the Japanese way. The latter is a wonderful journey into the life of the American wife of a Japanese farmer. What an interesting character she is! The recipes seem very authentic by the list of ingredients and the narrative makes you take a cheap trip to Japan.
Of course you will find the classics but also the latest releases.
So many books I don't have!
There are some gems here: A. Wong The Cookbook is the recipe book of the famous London restaurant. The cuisine is very close to Neil Perry's Spice Temple. The cumin lamb is an absolute cracker. I cannot wait to make a great many dishes from these pages.
Then there are these two Polish cookbooks Sugared Orange and Rose Petal Jam. I bought both last year starting with one, enjoying it so much that I bought the other. When my mum came over from France to visit us in Sydney we read it together enjoying every story, image and recipe. They are much more than cookbooks but the plunge of Beata Zatorska and her photographer husband into her Polish heritage during one (or maybe several) trips back.
Another great book is The Dumpling Sisters. I just bought it so I haven't tried any recipe but they look delicious and I love that you can basically make your own Yum Cha from scratch! I gotta buy a trolley…
I should have bought this one! It's soooo funny. I saw it at Berkelouw in Berrima too. They are fantastic cocktail recipes and some apéritif food too on the theme of Shakespeare's work. I love it! It would be a great present for my friend Klee.
Geez, when I look at the photos from my sofa, I'm thinking… why didn't I spend more hours in there and have a real look at all these books! Look at The Food of Oman! I would love to see what's in there.
I bought Tex-Mex from Scratch. It is a great book on which you abundantly dribble while turning the pages. You will see pulled meat, glistening wings and drums, tacos with the right recipe for the right use.
See how books are everywhere. It's a real Ali Baba's cave!
You will find the whole collection of Jamie's books or Yotam's.
The drinks, vegetarian and special diets sections are quite organised. Don't trust them though as people move books around so you might find a book you're looking for somewhere else in the shelves or on the floor.
Another future purchase will be The Mexico Cookbook. I am a huge fan of Phaidon, the editor, and had a quick look in it. It's huge, complete and authentic, the same way the book INDIA (they published recently) presents Indian cuisine.
That's the vegan section. I never look at those because, of course I am not vegan. But it's a mistake. I am very interested in different dishes and ways of cooking. Being vegan forces you to a real challenge: make good food with fewer ingredients. And look at that book up there Afro Vegan! That sounds interesting!
I feel very ashamed and guilty to say that I haven't been to the Sydney café and picklery called Cornersmith despite the fact that I am totally passionate about pickling and that I follow their great Instagram feed.
Lima the Cookbook by Virgilio Martinez is another future purchase of mine. Peruvian cuisine seems so interesting and this cover…
I bought The Japanese Farm Food from the same author of Preserving the Japanese Way I'm talking about above. She tells her story and what she does for her family and her community. She is truly fantastic.
I've talked about The Blue Ducks' Real Food cookbook HERE. I loooove it.
I just got Heston's Fat Duck Cookbook for my birthday two weeks ago, from my friend and chef Troy. What a strange and precious book! I need to read a lot more to be able to talk about it in a special post.
OK, I'm going to be repeating myself all along this article… but I really want to buy this book too. It is photographed by David Loftus, Jamie Oliver's photographer and despite the fact that I already own about 5 Moroccan cookbooks, I think this one would have its very special place in my collection.
I need more Nguyen in my life… The French cookbook is not really my cup of tea of course, because it's a bit too close to home but the Vietnamese ones (I have the one written by his sister) and the books made after his epic trip along the Mekong river. I loved this SBS show. The photography was absolutely beautiful. Luke's permanent smile and candid approach to things make the show very enjoyable.
I decided I'd go to Biota first and then buy the book. It is a very highly praised restaurant in the Southern Highlands (near Sydney) where they have a proper veggie patch and grow the food they cook. There is a lot of foraging involved there too. I love this approach and I am eager to take the trip and enjoy the complete experience.
Of course, you will find a large collection of Women's Weekly cookbooks.
If you have time to read all the titles here, you'll have a good time :)
More books which are dying to get a little space in my bookshelf! I would love to buy Falafel for Breakfast by Michael Rantissi and Kristy Frawley from the restaurant at the border of Surry Hills and Redfern (Sydney) especially after I have met one of the cooks there: Kade from Bligh Street Bistro, a private dinner concept in Kirribilli.
This is the special diet and healthy eating section. I bought the Quinoa book for my mum who is gluten free.
That day I also bought Adam Liaw's Asian Cookery School and already made a lot of recipes from it. It is easy, clear and simple. You can use it as a base and add you own touch to it. I love it. His videos are excellent too.
I bought the Hummingbird Bakery cookbook because the recipes of American cakes and cookies seem so exotic to me. I'm yet to try them out!
More Jamie and Yotam…
I've got a girl crush for Rachel Khoo… She is so sweet, so healthy and voluptuous, so British and yet she understands so well what French cuisine is about. I recommend her Little French Kitchen book and one I bought yesterday which is strangely called Sweet and Savoury pâtés. It has super cool and easy recipes to spread.
So many great books on this shelf, to name a few: the Messina Gelato recipe book, it's just extraordinary (don't forget to buy the pro ingredients too), The Indian Family Kitchen I talked about extensively HERE, and Anne-Sophie Pic's Haute Cuisine "Complete cookery course" is very high on my list. I'm very proud of French women Chefs. It takes guts to make it in such a macho world!
The Alcohol section is pretty extensive. I bought the Craft Spirit World by Emily Miles. It's a great book, very interesting and right up my alley :)
There are some interesting books in here too. Bistronomy was wrapped in plastic so I didn't dare to open it. How many bookshops have lost money with me, when they put sealed books in their shelves… I will never open them…
It looked like a great book "Recipes from the Best New Paris Bistros"…. it sounds pretty cool… I'm very intrigued by the Biergarten cookbook and the Shred Diet Cookbook. Does shredding you food make you thinner???
The complete Asian Cookbook by Charmaine Solomon is one of Wendell's. I never open it because we have it in an old edition and the photos are totally dreadful… I know… one should never judge a recipe on the photo but it's stronger than me…
I had a nice chat with the lady at the counter who went to great lengths to find me a book she recommended and finally couldn't put her hand on it. She explained to me that the very strong point of Gleebooks' selection was the vegetarian, vegan and special diet section. The owner of the bookstore is passionate about food and very interested in alternative eating. And it shows! The overhaul selection is just fantastic.
If you're passionate about food, books and cookbooks, do not miss this store. It's a real gem!
I'll be back very soon. I hope they have a loyalty card…

Penguins captain Sidney Crosby looks good in practice, still not ready for games
PITTSBURGH, Pa. - Sidney Crosby was on the ice for the weary Pittsburgh Penguins optional skate Friday, one of only a handful of players from the NHL's busiest team who didn't take the day off.
No surprise there. With his concussion symptoms vanishing, Crosby can't wait to get to the rink these days. His return to the sport he was dominating at this time a year ago appears to be drawing ever so close.
How close? That remains the unanswered question, although there isn't the slightest hint it will occur when Pittsburgh visits Toronto for a Saturday night matchup of two hot teams.
It's been two-plus weeks since Crosby—who last played on Jan. 5—was cleared for full contact in practice, yet he has endured nothing harsher than a bump or a shove. That's hardly preparation for a mid-ice collision with a Zdeno Chara or a Colton Orr, or the grind of negotiating a schedule that has five months worth of games remaining.
But during an otherwise routine morning skate Thursday, Crosby was a blur on the Consol Energy Center ice, flying down the wings, beating goalies Marc-Andre Fleury and Brent Johnson with shots that arrived on net from a variety of angles. It was a literal whirlwind of speed, precision and skill by an athlete who, only a few months ago, had trouble merely negotiating crowds because of his concussion.
Crosby also devoted a few moments practising how to minimize the risk of injury while sliding into the end boards.
Even if the Penguins hadn't been wearing the unique purple warm-up jerseys as part of the NHL's Hockey Fights Cancer campaign, Crosby—the runaway leader in the NHL scoring race when he was hurt in early January—would have easily stood out from the crowd.
While Crosby hasn't spoken to reporters about his status since Saturday, he almost seems to be etching his answer onto the ice with his skate blades: You can't keep me away from this much longer.
Still, ask him how he's doing, and he'll answer, "There's nothing new."
Oh, yes there is.
Crosby drove himself at a full-tilt, 100-percent flat-out pace during training camp, yet he wasn't skating then with this much burst, this much energy. His elite talent level is clearly discernible during the most routine of drills, although he plays for a team that is 8-2-2 and owns an NHL-best 18 points.
All this would seem to suggest that Crosby's return is mere days away, yet there is one more still-to-be-solved puzzle remaining: What if he gets hit?
The Penguins may begin to learn that next week.
Following Saturday's game, they play only twice in 12 days a welcomed respite after playing 13 games in a hectic 24 days. Only once have they had a two-day break between games.
But they will get four days off after facing the Maple Leafs and, after playing twice in three nights in California, will enjoy another five days off before a Nov. 11 home game against Dallas.
The schedule breaks will provide coach Dan Bylsma's team with some much-needed practice time, and an opportunity for Crosby to absorb some hitting.
"I think our team—and not just Sidney—knows we need some work and some work days," Bylsma said.
If Crosby negotiates those practices without any concussion-related problems—and none have been reported since training camp began Sept. 17—he could get the clearance to resume his dazzling-to-date career.
Looking for a possible date? After the Stars game, the Penguins play at Carolina on Nov. 12, at home against Colorado on Nov. 15 and at Tampa on Nov. 17 and at Florida on the 19th.
Playing away from Pittsburgh would create fewer distractions when Crosby returns. But, given that the Penguins have waited nearly 10 months, it's unlikely they would delay his comeback a single day once they know he's ready.
What must surprise the rest of the NHL is how well they're playing without him.
The Penguins are 31-15-7 in their past 52 games without Crosby and, riding a five-game winning streak, are off to an impressive start—especially considering that co-star Evgeni Malkin has missed seven games with right knee soreness.
Malkin returned this week for back-to-back games against the Islanders, getting the winning goal in a shootout as Pittsburgh recovered from a two-goal deficit to win 3-2 on Thursday.
Not that Bylsma isn't impressed with the Maple Leafs, who are 6-2-1 during their best start since the 2004-05 lockout. Pittsburgh was 2-1-1 against Toronto last season.
"They're an explosive team right now," Bylsma said. "They're being led by (Phil) Kessel, who's a dangerous guy, but they've also got Joffrey Lupul. They've got different areas where they're doing well, they've got a solid defence and they've gotten great goaltending as well.
"It's early in the season, but this is kind of the way they were playing at the end of last season, when they were pushing for the playoffs. I think you see a confident team."
The Penguins won't play in Toronto again until Feb. 1, when they hope the Maple Leafs see a confident team, as well. A team led by Sidney Crosby.
For now, though, the return must wait. Even if it might not be for long.

How I Met Your Mother, Personalitywise
Who is the most awesome?
Posted February 4, 2013
Written with Leonard Chen.
In my body, where the shame gland should be, there is a second awesome gland. True story.
~ Barney Stinson (source)
After having shown that TV characters are not unidimensional (see an assessment of "Friends"), we turn our Big Five guns on How I Met Your Mother. The senior blogger (JK) can't say that he is intimately familiar with Barney, Marshall, Lily, Robin, and Ted. In fact, he finds the whole bar booth routine tedious. The junior blogger (LC) takes a more sanguine view. The senior blogger's younger daughter (13) is a big fan. We all agree that Barney is awesome. To get a fix on the characters before collecting data, we consulted Wikipedia and found an enlightening introduction to the cast.
Personality psychologists known as Big Fivers believe – wait for it – that the Big Five personality traits are the route d'or to knowing people. For those who have missed the memo, here's an update: The Big Five (naturally capitalized) are personality traits so broad that they are believed to cover the spectrum of individual differences. Once you have a person's profile of scores over the Big Five, you know the person, at least in broad strokes. After they emerged from factor-analytic work at an Air Force base (Tupes & Christal, 1961), the Big Five have gained widespread acceptance (Goldberg, 1992). Though periodically challenged and reviled, they have persisted. Here they are: [O] Openness to new experience, [C] Conscientiousness, [E] Extraversion, [A] Agreeableness, and [N] Neuroticism. Strung together, the letters spell OCEAN. As we did when taking the pulse of "Friends," we used trait pairs recommended by Gosling et al. (2003). Namely, "open to new experiences and complex," "dependable and self-disciplined," "extraverted and enthusiastic," "critical and quarrelsome" [reverse keyed], and "anxious and easily upset."
We showed the episode Subway Wars (Season 6, Episode 4, aired on October 11, 2010) to a class of 26 undergraduate students. Each student rated each of the 5 HIMYM characters, the Dalai Lama, and the self. We then standardized the ratings to set the grand mean for each trait to 0 and the standard deviation to 1. The first set of figures shows the mean and standard error for each character and each of the OCEAN traits. The pop-out result is that Barney is indeed awesome. It is not that he received the most favorable ratings overall. Instead, Barney is the only character with character. His profile is
highly variable over traits, which makes him distinctive. Barney can be summarized as being highly extroverted, not conscientious (he has a Machiavellian streak) and not neurotic (he is not prone to shame – see the anatomical epigraph), although Wikipedia relates that he has "abandonment issues"). We also note that raters show less consensus when it comes to Barney. Their ratings are more variable within each trait than they are for other characters. In contrast, Lily and Marshall are cursed with ordinariness. Their profiles are like old tires. They have no tread. Marshall is a virtual everyman. Adolphe Quetelet
(1835/1968), who regarded averages as Platonic ideals, would have loved him. The rest of us are bored. Robin and Ted show a bit more variability, but their profiles are very similar. One wonders if they were made for each other [viewers of the show know that they were not, appearances notwithstanding]. They share a neurotic streak that sets them apart from the others. An alternative representation of the data is to give each trait its own panel with a profile of average standardized ratings over the characters (not done here). Again, Barney would emerge awesome in his distinctiveness.
There is another definition of awesome, and that is social desirability. By this definition, an awesome person scores high on all traits except neuroticism. In our set of characters, that is HHDL (His Holiness the Dalai Lama). What up! With him, even scoring average on extroversion is a hit, given the role he represents (oops, that's creeping contextualism!). Most people also regard themselves as awesome (e.g., Brown, 2012). Here we see that the profile of average self-ratings resemblance to Dalai's profile.
We took a closer look at the resemblance issue by
correlating self-ratings with ratings for another character one character at a time. After years of studying social projection, JK figured that these correlations would be highest for the Lama, Dalai. Why? Because the Lama is viewed in generally desirable terms but there is little concrete information about his character. Hence, he is the perfect screen on which people can project their own positive self-images. Indeed, we found the mean correlation between self-ratings and Lama ratings to be higher (.57) than mean correlations involving ratings of Barney (.08), Lily (-.38), Marshall (.018), Robin (.05), or
Ted (.13).
Our modest attempt at capturing the Mother characters' characters is not the only effort in this area. A certain "Bridgette" has apparently figured them out and has developed a test for you to see which character is most similar to you. JK took the test and found he is most like Lily. Hm. Treadless according Los Cinco Grandes. LC got stuck with Marshall. Equally treadless. Perhaps that's why we work well together.

TARS Bots widget that you can put on your website actually has a bunch of configurable options which you might not know.
Some of these options can be changed and saved from the Dashboard like the callout message, color of the widget button, and selecting from the 10 Bot images.
But the rest of the options can only be configured by making changes in the code snippet for the widget that you add on your website.
By default, This code snippet looks like below. This is for the Meme Generetor Bot: https://memegen.hellotars.com/conv/r1d0p0/
<script>(function(){var js,fs,d=document,id="tars-widget-script",b="https://tars-file-upload.s3.amazonaws.com/share/";if(!d.getElementById(id)){js=d.createElement("script");js.id=id;js.type="text/javascript";js.src=b+"js/widget.js";fs=d.getElementsByTagName("script")[0];fs.parentNode.insertBefore(js,fs)}})();window.tarsSettings = {"convid":"r1d0p0"};</script>
Near the end of this code snippet you will see a variable name: window.tarsSettings
The value for this variable is by default a key-value pair JSON object, with only one key-value pair in it. This is the convid of the Bot itself. This is the same id that you see in the URL of the Bot.
Widget Options:
{"convid":"r1d0p0", "mode":"pop_left"}
This will bring the widget on the left side of the page.
{"convid":"r1d0p0", "img":"https://i.imgur.com/Im4zVwJ.png"}
This will change the widget button image.
{"convid":"r1d0p0", "href":"https://chatbot.hellotars.com/conv/r1d0p0/?aaa=bbb&ccc=ddd"}
This will change the Bot URL that is opened in the widget, here some URL params are added in the URL for subission tracking.
Note that double quotes everwhere and the comma in between the data fields.
This is JSON way of doing things. You can validate the JSON syntax here: https://jsonlint.com/
Try putting in those examples and making some changes in it.

The Children's Specialty Center of Nevada, the state's only nonprofit pediatric specialized outpatient treatment center, is proud to welcome Dr. Kanyalakshmi Ayyanar to the clinic. Dr. Ayyanar will bring a new level of expertise to patients affected by pediatric brain tumors.
Dr. Ayyanar was most recently Director of Pediatric Neuro-Oncology at the University of Louisville in Kentucky.
In addition to being board certified in Pediatrics and Pediatric Hematology/Oncology, Dr Ayyanar completed additional training to become a Pediatric Neuro-Oncologist. She will be the only full time physician based in Nevada who is trained in Pediatric Neuro-Oncology. Although Dr. Ayyanar will treat many different types of pediatric cancers, she will specialize in the diagnosis, treatment and follow-up care of brain tumor patients – both malignant and non-malignant. Brain tumors are the second most common type of cancer for pediatric patients.
"We are truly fortunate to have Dr. Ayyanar join our clinic," said Annette Logan, President and Chief Executive Officer of Cure 4 The Kids Foundation. "Dr. Ayyanar's experience and specialized knowledge in the area of diagnosis and treatment of brain tumors will be an incredible benefit to our current patients and those in the future."
Historically, a large number of Nevada's pediatric patients with brain tumors were sent out of state for specialized treatment. Dr. Ayyanar's arrival brings a level of expertise to the community and the state that was not previously available.
"I am excited to be a part of The Children's Specialty Center of Nevada," said Dr. Kanyalakshmi Ayyanar. "With my expertise and experience, all of us at the Specialty Center hope to elevate the excellent care our patients receive by providing sub-specialty expertise and comprehensive care in the treatment of brain and spinal cord tumors"
Dr. Ayyanar was born and raised in India and received her medical degree from the Madurai Medical College, Dr. M.G.R. Medical University. She completed her residency and fellowships in the United States. She completed her Pediatric Hematology/Oncology fellowship at Albert Einstein College of Medicine in New York and her Pediatric Neuro-Oncology at Boston Children's Hospital/Harvard Medical School. Dr. Ayyanar is also a Fellow of the American Academy of Pediatrics (F.A.A.P.)
The Children's Specialty Center of Nevada is a program of Cure 4 The Kids Foundation, founded in 2007 by Jonathan Bernstein, M.D. and Annette Logan.
Cure 4 The Kids Foundation is a 501(c) 3 nonprofit organization. Its mission is to provide funding and access to the latest medical treatments for those facing life-threatening diseases such as cancer, rare and ultra rare diseases, inherited bleeding disorders and rheumatological conditions. Dr. Jonathan Bernstein founded Cure 4 The Kids Foundation in 2007. Bernstein saw firsthand the difficulties faced by families whose children were affected by major diseases but didn't have the financial resources or health insurance to receive treatment. Cure 4 The Kids Foundation was created with these families in mind. Cure 4 The Kids Foundation's Charity Care Program ensures patients at the Children's Specialty Center of Nevada and the Hemophilia Treatment Center of Nevada receive medical treatment regardless of family income or presence of health insurance. www.cure4thekids.org

[JK Wedding Entrance Dance](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4-94JhLEiN0)from [TheKheinz](http://www.youtube.com/user/TheKheinz) on [Youtube](http://www.youtube.com/)
It's quite a cool entrance. I guess the church that the wedding was held must be quite open with the music used and dancing.
Hmmm … as for me, I don't think we'll have such an entrance. Not even for our wedding dinner. But I've attended a few wedding dinners where the couple danced in on the 2nd entrance into the ballroom.
How about your wedding entrances?

So basically, perfect.
So far the awesome ladies from the gym have talked me into some entertaining stuff.
There was the Zumbathon.
The Spartan Race.
The Warrior Dash.
Basically all things that could have killed me. Or at the very least made me extremely tired. So when the idea of a girls weekend came up I jumped. Who doesn't want to spend the weekend with a bunch of awesome ladies eating and enjoying the view?
I imagined relaxing and movies and maybe a nice walk in the woods. Cake. I was sure there was going to be cake involved somehow.
What I got was 2 spit takes. How is it possible that these ladies are still shocked by anything I say?
A collaborative dinner. We turned cooking into a team sport like on Iron Chef.
And a 6 mile hike up a GOD DAMN MOUNTAIN!!
Seriously it was straight up. Stone steps placed into the side of the mountain! Plus I was carrying a backpack with water bottles and cell phones and a gun. Apparently there was a chance of running into a bear. This was only going to be possible if that bear was deaf or had been hand raised by humans and was looking for his adopted mother.
Still a chance. Plus it helped lend some credibility to my frequent yelling of:
"I'm loaded for bear."
There was also some other colorful language as it became clear my gentle walk through the woods wasn't going to be quite as gentle as I imagined.
Oh and I got to rewire the DVD player because that's just how I roll.
The ladies are talking about going away to the beach next summer. In my head I'm imaging chilling on the sand with a good book and a cold drink. I think the reality is more closely going to resemble swimming the English channel.

OPM will reveal a new PS3 launch title in its November issue... and they've left you some clues as to what it might be ...
hmmmhmmm, i think its Resistance vs. Halo: Slaughter House. You take the best of bungie's Halo characters, and you take the best of Resistances characters, and they go against each other for complete takeover of earth. and the subject line could be "The Grandprize - EARTH". LOL, but that actually would be an interesting game tho. Maybe thats Bungie's Secret X06 new game. Taking maybe Halo and adding a new race that wants total controller of earth, and then the covenant and Humans (or Master Chief) have to save it from being attacked. That would be cool, Laugh Out Loud"
i think its going to be the naughty dog game. i'm 75% sure its that. what else could it be?
It's called PS3 EUROPE: The Impossible Launch
It's a game of trying to get everyone hyped up and believing your press releases, and then seeing how dissapointed you can get them to look when you tell them you were lying.
-I'm just having fun...pls relax fanboys, even you have to admit that the less than stellar availability at launch is dissapointing:)

Endorsement of Pearce hard to understand
I was recently asked by a constituent about my thoughts on why former NM Democratic Governor Jerry Apodaca endorsed Republican Steve Pearce for governor over Michelle Lujan Grisham. My response? I really don't know, as his column on the topic doesn't make much sense.
First, I heard his son Jeff on the campaign trail numerous times as we both ran for statewide office. He spoke passionately about investing state endowments into an economic stimulus package. While Pearce two weeks ago wrote about investing some of our permanent funds in NM businesses, Lujan Grisham has been talking about this exact same solution for months as part of a well thought out job creation plan. Furthermore, while Lujan Grisham has been a strong and constant supporter of using some of our Permanent Fund revenues for Early Childhood Education, Pearce refuses to support using this money for kids who need it most.
Additionally, during the campaign:
- Apodaca supported legalizing cannabis. Lujan Grisham does as well, but Pearce is strongly opposed.
- Apodaca supported a $10 minimum wage that would raise over time. Lujan Grisham also supports a higher minimum wage, but Pearce voted against raising it in 2007 and 2013.
- Apodaca supported equal pay for women. Lujan Grisham strongly agrees, but Pearce voted in 2007, 2008, and 2013 against strengthened regulations enforcing equal pay.
- Apodaca supported the NM Health Security Act. While Lujan Grisham doesn't go as far, she does support the Medicaid Buy-In program to give people a true public insurance option. Pearce voted in 2007 to cut Children's Health Insurance, in 2012 to privatize Medicaid, and in 2017 to strip Medicaid from over 250,000 New Mexicans.
So while Pearce copied one of Michelle's proposals, her platform actually comes much closer to the younger Apodaca's ideas. Therefore, why endorse the person your son agreed with much, much less?
Second, the elder Apodaca referenced Pearce as willing to "reach across the aisle". Yet, he mentioned no evidence that Pearce has ever done this in his political career. Looking at every bill he sponsored during his four years as a state representative, not one shows a Democrat co-sponsor.
As a US congressperson, he helped found the "Freedom Caucus" in 2015. This group is famous for working against compromise on immigration and health care while constantly threatening to shut down the government because they want to gut Medicaid. And according to govtrack.us out of 435 Congresspeople there were only 30 who co-sponsored bipartisan bills less than Pearce, while he ranked the 8th most conservative member overall.
For 20 years he has pushed school vouchers, the first step in turning public schools over to corporations. In 2008 he argued against marriage equality, saying LGBT folks would only get married to receive AIDS treatment. In 2014 he wrote in his book that any wife "is to voluntarily submit" to her husband. In 2017 he voted against a bill that would have protected public lands from being sold to the highest bidder. And while Lujan Grisham has released her tax returns to the public, Pearce has mirrored Donald Trump (whom he supports strongly) in keeping them secret, hiding who he may owe if elected.
So, at what point in his political career has Pearce ever expressed a willingness to work with anyone except hard-line Republicans? The answer is none. He has the track record of an ideological hard-line Trump supporter with no will to collaborate with anyone he disagrees with.
I will stick with Michelle Lujan Grisham. Her values will translate to policies that make life better for people here. Pearce's sure won't.
Bill McCamley, D, represents District 33 in the New Mexico House of Representatives and was a candidate this year for state auditor.

Just like dogs, cats can be afflicted with mange, but thankfully it is far less common. The most severe form of this problem will leave your pet practically hairless and with terribly irritated skin. While mange is more often seen in stray animals, cat owners should be aware of the symptoms so that they can seek help for their cats before the condition ever gets that extreme.
Scott Gavaletz, a veterinarian and owner of Branford Veterinary Hospital in Branford, Connecticut, describes mange in cats as the single most itchy disease a cat can get. That description alone should motivate cat owners to do what they can to keep mange from affecting their pets.
What Is Mange?
Mange is another name for a mite infestation. The two most common types of mange are due to Demodex cati (black mange) and Scabies Sarcoptes (red mange) mites. These mites burrow under the skin causing the extreme itching and subsequent hair loss on a cat.
Demodex cati is found on all cats, but in immunocompromised cats, the mites may become overpopulated and cause a problem. According to the Companion Animal Parasite Council, this overgrowth can be associated with an underlying systemic disease. It is typically only seen in young kittens and older cats. Demodex is not considered to be contagious.
Scabies Sarcoptes is less commonly seen than Demodex cati and may be acquired if a cat comes in contact with wildlife or other animals who have an infestation of mites. This is why cats living in colonies outdoors may be more susceptible to mange than a house cat. Scabies are very contagious mites to both animals and people, so they are also a human health concern.
Cheyletiella is another type of mite, often referred to as walking dandruff. These mites live on the outer layer of the skin rather than underneath it. Cheyletiella is most often seen in rabbits but it can also be a problem for cats.
Finally, ear mites may be referred to as otodectic mange. Otodectes cynotis infest the ears of cats, where they cause itching and inflammation. These are very commonly seen in cats but most people do not call them mange.
Some symptoms of mange are similar to those of a flea infestation. Itching, skin redness, hair loss, skin dryness, swelling, and excessive licking or grooming can all be symptoms of mange in a cat. These symptoms will also cause some restlessness, irritability, and soreness. Symptoms can occur about one week after exposure and will worsen if the mange is not treated.
Signs of Mange
- Itching and scratching
- Greasy face
- Swelling
- Scaling around the face, neck, and eyelids
- Skin discoloration
- Bumps on the skin
- Excessive licking or grooming
- Hair loss
- Restlessness
Scabies, ear mites, and walking dandruff are all contagious, so if a cat is near an animal that has one of these forms of mange, they will also become infected. Since Scabies is also zoonotic, it can be transmitted back and forth from a cat to a human and vice versa.
Cats that are immunocompromised may be more susceptible to an overgrowth of Demodex.
The diagnosis of mange is made by observing the mites under a microscope. Scabies and Demodex can be found by performing a skin scraping since they burrow under the skin, but Cheyletiella and Otodectes can be swabbed out of the ear using a cotton swab.
Under a microscope, Demodex cati are cigar-shaped mites with stubby little legs, Scabies Sarcoptes, Cheyletiella, and Otodectes are oval-shaped with multiple legs. Your veterinarian will be able to diagnose the type of mites in your cat.
Depending on the type of mite your cat has, the treatment regimen will vary. Medicated dips and shampoos, topical medications, and injectable drugs may all be prescribed. Depending on which mites are found, how severe the infestation is, and whether or not your cat has secondary symptoms will dictate which treatment plan is used. Sometimes simple soothing shampoos and sprays will be used to relieve the itching.
How to Prevent Mange in Cats
Most healthy house cats can resist an infestation of mites since they are not immunocompromised, but just like flea control, a clean environment is still important in helping to prevent your cat from getting mange. Some basic things you can do to help prevent mange in your cat include washing its bedding in hot water with detergent and vacuuming the house regularly. These seemingly obvious things will help keep your cat's environment clean.
If you are exposed to cats that are not your own, either through rescue work, working in a facility that has cats, or through petting outdoor cats, you'll also want to make sure you wash your hands before handling your cat.
Even though mange is a nasty parasite that cats may be vulnerable to, the good news is that the typical house cat, who is healthy, living in a clean indoor home and fed a quality diet, should never experience this disease.

Booking a Mediterranean Cruise for this spring. Check out these.
Plan The Best Mediterranean Cruises
There's no time like the present to plan best mediterranean cruises 2017. A great trip means different things to different people. You may want to go swimming on a nice beach or have fun shopping. Your spouse may want to spent time in the mountains, while your kids might love the idea of going to amusement parks in different parts of the country or even the world. This is why it makes sense for you think about taking a cruise. A cruise allows all your family members to enjoy your vacation. You can take advantage of different ports of call to try out a new beach you've never seen before. Your spouse can take a special trip to explore a local mountain range at a different destination. The entire family can choose to have a fun day at an amusement park that is right off the shore. Cruising means the chance to see special parts of the world and the opportunity to relax at night in a comfortable cabin and enjoy a sumptuous dinner by moonlight.
Deciding Where to Go
The Mediterranean is a large place. This sea includes three continents and many countries. You can go anywhere from the south of France to the islands of Turkey. You might choose to visit the Italian coast or head right to the fabulous region of northern Africa. The choice is yours. One of the great things about cruising is the chance to see as much as you like. You might want to focus your time on a single country such as Greece or perhaps see multiple countries during your cruise. You can also decide to focus your attention on larger cities in this part of the world or perhaps just travel across multiple islands, spending time at various beaches in a single week. Many cruise lines have more than one cruise during the season. They can help you decide if perhaps the coast of Spain is just right for you or you might like to visit the islands of Italy instead. They can also help you decide if you prefer to be more formal or you might like let your hair down and relax without worrying about dressing up for dinner. Some cruises encourage you to bring your children along and even offer them special services. Another type of cruise may be geared toward older travelers.
Narrowing It Down
Another great way to narrow down the best Mediterranean cruise for you is to think about focusing on a single area of the sea. For example, the Celebrity Constellation offers a western Mediterranean cruise that brings you to destinations such as the Rome, Naples, Catania, and Malta, before taking you to places in Spain such as Palma de Mallorca, Valencia and Barcelona. Another cruise, such as the Costa Diadema, will also bring you to this part of the Mediterranean Sea but allow you to see other cities including Genoa and Marseilles. If you've never visited this part of the world before, this can be a great chance to see parts of it in person easily without the need to make other traveling arrangements.
The Best Mediterranean Cruises
The ideal Mediterranean cruises for you will also depend on other factors. If you have lots of time, the Oceana cruise via P & O Cruises might be just right for you. This cruise offers you two entire weeks to spend on the boat seeing the region from the deck of a luxuriously appointed ship. You can really see much of the Mediterranean Sea this way by going ashore at ports of call that include Florence, Mykonos, Athens and Kusadusi. A longer trip can help you truly relax and spend time in many places in a beautiful part of the world. If you have less time, you can consider a shorter cruise that allows you to see different parts of the region in a shorter period of time. The Costa Favolosa is a five-day cruise that has ports of call including Genoa, Barcelona and Ibiza. An even shorter period of time will still let you see a lot in this marvelous area.
Amazing Amenities
When thinking about Mediterranean cruises, it is also wise to think about the kind of amenities you want. If you have teens, you might want to consider a cruise such as the Costa Favolosa, which has special areas dedicated specifically to the needs of teens. They'll find a fabulous dance club where they can dance with their peers, electronic games, and a cinema showing movies for their age group. Your teen will like the cruise even more when they have a chance to spend time doing age-appropriate activities. A best Mediterranean cruise also often has options that allow for indoor activities if it gets colder. For example. the Costa Fascinosa has four pools. Two of them have retractable roofs so you can have fun swimming even if it is raining outside. If you are spending time at sea, the amenities can be an ideal diversion that will help you relax even more during the cruise.
Taking a 2017 Mediterranean Cruise
A 2017 Mediterranean cruise can be an ideal vacation for you. The details are important to nail down before you begin. You should think about what you want to see and what kind of amenities you want to have as you travel. Traveling on a cruise ship such as the Freedom of the Seas from Royal Caribbean means the chance to enjoy top-notch entertainment and see all that Europe has to offer. This ancient sea can be yours again as you survey it from the deck of a ship while enjoying a mimosa and an Italian-style brunch. Look for cruises that will give you the thrill of a lifetime as a single person or let your entire family travel together as a group to some of the most special spaces in Europe. These will be the best Mediterranean cruises for spring 2017.

In pancake posts of the past we've dwelt on the action taking place literally seconds before pancake making. Today, we're looking at the first step in the process - the grand entry. What's beautiful about these photos (besides the killer styles and decor) is that you can literally tell that pancakes are on the menu - and the people have just entered the room! I mean, these people have barely introduced themselves and it's already painfully obvious that pancakes will be made. Dirty, sweaty, filthy pancakes.
Looks like pancakes are the house special at this 'gyner diner. Hold the sausage, these gals are vagitarians.
Heh-heh. You see what I did there? I made a tasteless pun..... I'll see myself out.
He's looking at the gal in red and thinking "pancakes", but the gal in red is looking at the gal in black and thinking "pancakes" - who's returning the look. I think it's safe to assume our guy will end up a spectator to any pancake making going on this this evening.
For search engine optimization they tell you to repeat key words over and over to lure people in. Given that principle, these pancake posts will most certainly attract innocent people in search of a good pancake recipe....only to be hit with vintage sleaze. And I want this to be the first picture they see.
