Survey route: Newcastle-Amsterdam
Company: DFDS
Sea region: North Sea
Survey start date: 2018-08-25
Number of nights: 2
Newcastle to Ijmuiden 25th-27th August Bank holiday weekend.
The team met at the terminal where we welcomed two new ORCA surveyors who were both excited and nervous at the weekend that lay before us. I reassured them that this route was perfect to start on as it is much quieter than Biscay and therefore there is plenty of time to become more familiar and confident with the protocol and recording data.
We got onto the bridge as soon as possible and were treated to a sea state 3, which soon dropped to a 2 with a moderate swell.
A few minutes after starting on effort we came to an area which had a large amount of bird feeding behaviour and diving gannets. Not surprisingly we soon had a number of sightings in quick succession. Over an hour period we had a total of 17 dolphins- probable White-beaked, but due to light conditions it was not possible to be 100% positive on identification. Although size and colour led us, by process of elimination, to record them as probable White-beaked. We also had 2 sightings of harbour porpoise.
The new surveyors really had their skills tested and did a fantastic job of following the protocol to record 9 individual sightings in an hour. We were also treated to the most beautiful full moon rise over the horizon, right in front of the ship, which was pretty spectacular to say the least! Once the light faded we departed the bridge, returning at 6.30 the following morning ready for sunrise at 6.38am.
Although we had a good sea state we only had a harbour porpoise, and round the wind farms, which can be very productive, there were no sightings at all.
As we departed Ijmuiden, and waited to access the bridge, we were lucky to spot two harbour porpoise very close to the ship, which we were able to record as incidental sightings. However, once starting our survey we realised that the Sunday British Bank Holiday weather was going to scupper our evening survey effort. Starting at a sea state 5 we quickly saw a rise to a 6, then 7. The rain started, the fog drew in and we made a hasty retreat as it quickly escalated to a sea state 8!
We were pleased (and pretty relieved!) to wake up to a much calmer sea. It was clear that it was much more conducive whale and dolphin watching conditions and yet again we had a busy hour. Lots of bird feeding, a total of 5 Minkie whales and a few harbour porpoise too. We also had two sightings of fast swimming grey seals (totalling 34 animals) which were zooming along towards the bird feeding frenzy. Quite an amazing sight.
Our final sighting of the survey, was 4 probable White-beaked dolphins at 08.57am. So, the moral of this report, never underestimate the potential of North Sea surveys!
We really did have an amazing survey, and a wonderful team, who are now really up to speed with the protocol! Many thanks to the Captain, crew and all staff on board the Princess Seaways for their help and DFDS for their continued support.

"If the [Kopechne's] don't blame you, why should America?"
On April 6, 2018, director John Curran debuted the anticipated film, Chappaquiddick, documenting the tragic accident on Chappaquiddick Island, Massachusetts, when former Senator Ted Kennedy crashed his Oldsmobile into a nearby river, resulting in the death of Mary Jo Kopechne. Kopechne was the former political strategist of the Robert Kennedy campaign. The following investigation and another Kennedy tragedy became a national scandal that was largely overshadowed by the moon landing. The story, forgotten by many generations, was brought to life this past weekend.
I recently had the opportunity to witness this historical film. Overall, the film was very objective, kept me interested, and presented the truth. Fifty years in the waiting, Curran presents a moving screenplay combined with intense drama. The story lost in the headlines of the moon landing, brought back for brand new audiences.
The movies opens, reminding the audience of the Kennedys' political dynasty with radio excerpts of their assassinations and the grief following America. An underlying theme of the movie is the alleged 'curse' on the Kennedy family and that tragedy follows them wherever the go.
The very beginning of the movie tells the story completely. Ted Kennedy just finished an interview discussing the legacy of his brother, John F. Kennedy. The film proceeds through the events leading up to the accident, introducing Kopechne. Kopechne was struggling with the decision to go back to Washington after Robert's death. However, Ted offered her a job on his presidential campaign. Later at a cabin on Chappaquiddick Island, Kennedy and Kopechne drove off, drunk and not focused, and Kennedy drove off into the shallow river.
The very epitome of the scandal unfolds. Kennedy finds himself able to escape, but doesn't recall how. The rest of the scene is hidden, and Curran decides to cut the scene short, making the point that the story of what really happened seems to change repeatedly. Towards the end of the movie, the crash scene is completed and the truth comes out.
I'm not going to lay out the movie detail for detail, but I will tell you what I thought was important and what the audience can take from the movie.
First, Ted Kennedy repeatedly tried to make himself the victim. Congruent with modern leftist theory, you're the victim no matter what. Kennedy was falsely diagnosed with a concussion, wore a neck brace (for no reason) to Kopechne's funeral, and often reminded others why the accident was not his fault. Even his senior advisor tried to make it clear that he was not the victim.
Second, in order to avoid the scandal being blown out of proportion, the blame needed to be shifted. Heaven forbid it be Kennedy's fault. A scapegoat was needed. Ultimately, he told the truth in his televised confession, but he still omitted details that would prove him guilty, like that he was under the influence during the accident and the dinner party never happened. However, he shifted the blame on others throughout the scandal. It was his advisor's fault that he didn't stop the press release; it was the undertaker's fault for not signing the death certificate; it was never his fault.
Third, Kennedy had to win back the confidence and trust of the American people. Using victimhood as his ally, he need to convince the American public that he made a mistake but he was learning to move on and leave the accident in his past. Even though I vehemently disagree with his victimhood status, he was able to overwhelmingly convince Massachusetts to re-elect him as Senator. Though his presidential campaign of 1980 failed, he ultimately became the fourth longest-serving senator in the United States.
Finally, Ted Kennedy was able to successfully avoid the charge of manslaughter. Kennedy was only sentenced on the charge of 'fleeing the scene.'
Chappaquiddick is an interesting story because there is plenty to learn from the accident. From an objective, facts first point of view, Curran does a good job telling the story as is, with no spin and no political agenda. The truth is presented and the audience can form their own opinion with the given information. Void of humor (a few scenes had some dry humor that you would only get if you were historically proficient), Curran recounts the story with calm intensity. Basically, the director presented to us the ultimate ethical dilemma.
Chappaquiddick teaches us that we should expect integrity from our elected officials, that they should be held accountable for their actions just like the people. It also shows the amount of cover up that happens behind the scenes, the real life 'swamp.' Corruption isn't new and it isn't going away any time soon.
Ted Kennedy was not a martyr. He was not innocent. And he was definitely not a victim.
Chappaquiddick recounts the lost story of Kopechne's death for a new generation weary of political domination. It teaches us that corruption is no further away than the steps of your own state capitol, and that victimhood isn't new. It's an idea the left has used for decades, even for personal gain.
Kennedy should've resigned. His senior advisor was right. But if the Kopechne's didn't blame him, why should America? Now the reasons are transparent.

We specialise in leading high-energy, hands-on Taiko Drumming workshops and Taiko performance projects throughout the UK, offering a professional and flexible approach within an ever increasing range of settings, abilities and age groups.
We work in association with schools, colleges, local authorities, team building and corporate training experts, music and art therapists, disability groups, Japan-related educational and cultural organisations, festival organisers and martial arts groups.
Based in Shropshire, and led by James Barrow who has been teaching Taiko in the UK since 1993, we are keen to share our enthusiasm for Taiko Drumming as widely as possible. We aim to both honour the traditions that underpin Taiko Drumming while also developing new musical directions, especially through the use of digital technology.
Since 2014 our main focus has been on building the Taiko West Schools & Communities Project into one of the most extensive ongoing educational Taiko projects around. Offering developmental weekly and monthly courses to children, teens and adults across the length and breadth of the Midlands, we run 20 classes across 8 different venues, as well as coordinating numerous annual performance opportunities as a focus for our students to build towards.
From one of our main bases at The West Midlands Taiko Centre in Newport, Shropshire we also coordinate Residential Taiko courses and host the annual Midlands Taiko Day. Through our other base in Wem we also co-host the long-running Wem Taiko Fest, and in addition we also offer numerous other performance opportunities across the region. We are currently looking to establish new monthly classes in Shrewsbury and Cheshire.
Taiko West: Proud to be part of the UK Taiko Community.
James Barrow
I've been playing Taiko since 1986 – my Taiko CV is here. My training has allowed me to appreciate both the traditional aspects of the art form along with the very experimental. Although not a fan of collaboration for collaboration's sake, I do love it when the typical boundaries of Taiko are stretched a little. As well as composing taiko pieces I'm also a bit of a singer-songwriter and even recorded an album of original songs with a dear friend when I lived in Japan. I am also a rock music fan and currently play guitar and sing in a covers band; unsurprisingly then, I like to explore the "commonalities" between Taiko and rock music in many of my compositions.
My enthusiasm for Taiko is largely driven by the way it gets me out of head and into my body. Moreover, I see Taiko Drumming and music in general as a force for good in the world. It is also my own personal joy. On one level we're just humans hitting skins with big sticks. But from another perspective the positive, fun, collective energy we generate in our taiko workshops can be seen as a deliberate act of joyous resistance to the external pressures of modern life that might otherwise push us apart. However you choose to look at it, it's great fun…
Beth Lear
I am Taiko West's Admin Officer and I oversee the finer details for James so that he can get on with doing what he does best. I have over 20 years' experience working in administration and like to think that my organisational skills together with a passion for Taiko assist in driving Taiko West forward.
I have been involved with Taiko West since 2014, through helping to start a children's after school club in my local town and then consequently helping James set up an Adults Class so I could start playing Taiko myself.
Taiko is now in my blood and has become part of me. I can't explain the feeling it gives me inside when we create a piece of music as a team. It's just so inspiring and takes you away from everyday life. I just love it and I want to be a part of helping it to continue.
Michael de Groot
I started kit drumming shortly after I arrived in the U.K. from Amsterdam, in 1977. I enjoyed about 3 years of drumming in a London punk band but gave it up, it's a long story!
In 2018, Chris Sanson from Devon showed me videos of him playing Taiko drums with his group, Taiko Journey and I was hooked. I joined James' weekly group in Church Stretton, South Shropshire, I am a regular at Taiko Central near Stratford upon Avon and now I am co-ordinating the local Wyre Forest Taiko group, Stourport-on-Severn since February 2019.
"I can definitely say that I now have the Taiko bug and delighted to be part of Taiko West, as a Volunteer Co-ordinator and Media Officer in helping grow the Taiko community in the West Midlands."

I know, failing sucks. My whole life is synonymous with failure, so trust me on being an expert on failing. It will make you temporarily bitter, angry, and disappointed. You've put so much work into doing and creating something, but the reality basically tells you 'No'. There is, however, a quite valuable opportunity lying just underneath that pile of shattered dreams and discomfort.
Imagine publishing a book that nobody wants to buy, or opening a shop that nobody wants to visit. As you search for the explanation of the negative outcomes of your actions, it's quite easy to conclude that you are not good enough, you are not competent enough, or that you can never do anything right. Soon after that, you conclude that it's just best to quit and forget about the whole embarrassing mistake once and for all. Wrong. Although it all might sound quite logical, logic itself does not guarantee that you are right.
When you are focused on your goal, it's quite natural to develop a tunnel vision – a very selective focus on a fragment of reality relevant to your goal. Doing so helps you to remain focused on what's important to you, as well as improves your chances of investing large quantities of your energy into that specific goal. This attitude, however, works only up to a certain point – failure. And believe me, you will fail eventually. Can you at least do it with some grace?
The moment you fail, you are being pulled out of your tunnel vision and at that point, you become more equipped to see the bigger picture. Learning what doesn't work is far more valuable than not knowing anything at all, obviously. All feelings accompanying failure are only an unfortunate residue of your ideas and enthusiasm being brutally crushed by the inevitable facts and the reality.
Do you remember when you were learning how to to walk? I bet it hurt when you've fallen down. But imagine if you didn't fall – how else could you learn how to walk? You wouldn't. You would keep walking around awkwardly, lacking in grace and skill, and unable to see your mistakes which could be improved if you only dared to step back and see the bigger picture – that is, if you failed and fallen down.
Failing enables you to see your mistakes and understand what you've been doing wrong. This wouldn't be so easy to see if you remained focused on your goal – even if you do account for errors and possible difficulties, running simulations in your head will never equal concrete facts and experience. There are too many unforeseen difficulties and variables for your little brain to compute.
Equally, when striving towards your goal whilst directing a big chunk of your attention onto avoidance of failure will introduce doubt, insecurity, and aversion to risk taking. The moment you divide your focus into success and failure, you won't be able to offer as much of your energy and attention into the goal that you want to reach. Each decision will become difficult to make as you will not only consider the potential gain, but also a loss. This attitude will not get you far because essentially, making any sort of decision equals taking a risk. It's up to you how much risk you want to take, but remember that big decisions equal big risk, and small decisions equal small risk.
Now, I don't want to sound as if I'm glorying failure or encourage you to fail. What I'm trying to point out is that if you want to succeed in anything at all, you have to be comfortable with failure, because guess what – you will fail, regardless how much work you put into your goal. The whole point of achieving anything is to learn from your mistakes, develop your understanding, stand up again and keep learning how to walk.
Although failure will pull you out of your tunnel vision and redefine your perspective and understanding, staying focused on your goal whilst withstanding more and more challenging failures and learning from your mistakes is the only path to success.

Chiropractic care benefits all aspects of your body's ability to be healthy. This is accomplished by working with the nervous system--the communication system between your brain and body. Doctors of Chiropractic work to correct spinal, pelvic and cranial misalignments (subluxations). When misaligned, these structures create an imbalance in surrounding muscles and ligaments. Additionally, the resulting nerve system stress may affect the body's ability to function optimally. The Webster technique is a specific chiropractic analysis and diversified adjustment. The goal of the adjustment is to reduce the effects of sacral subluxation/ SI joint dysfunction. In so doing neuro-biomechanical function in the pelvis is improved. Dr. Larry Webster, founder of the International Chiropractic Pediatric Association discovered this adjustment as a safe means to restore proper pelvic balance and function. This specific sacral analysis can be used on all weight bearing individuals to determine S/I joint dysfunction/ sacral subluxation and is therefore applicable for the entire population. The assessment includes heel flexion to buttocks, with restricted flexion indicating the affected SI joint. Correction is made with a diversified, sacral adjustment. It is used on all weight bearing individuals presenting with this biomechanical restriction. Common symptoms include (but are not limited to) low back pain, sciatic neuralgia, and symptoms associated with sacral subluxation and/ or S/I joint dysfunction.The ICPA recognizes that in a theoretical and clinical framework of the Webster Technique in the care of pregnant women, sacral subluxation may contribute to difficult labor for the mother (i.e., dystocia). Dystocia is caused by inadequate uterine function, pelvic contraction, and baby mal-presentation.32 The correction of sacral subluxation may have a positive effect on all of these causes of dystocia.In this clinical and theoretical framework, it is proposed that sacral misalignment may contribute to these three primary causes of dystocia via uterine nerve interference, pelvic misalignment and the tightening and torsion of specific pelvic muscles and ligaments. The resulting tense muscles and ligaments and their aberrant effect on the uterus may prevent the baby from comfortably assuming the best possible position for birth. In regards to pregnant mothers, Dr. Webster reported that when a mother sought care and her baby was in a breech position, the restoration of pelvic neuro-biomechanics with this adjustment also frequently facilitated optimal fetal positioning. There are cases published in the chiropractic literature that support this theory. More research is needed and is currently underway by the ICPA.The obstetric literature has determined that correct positioning of the baby in-utero affect birth outcome and decrease the potential for undue stress to the baby's developing spine and nerve system. Obstetric literature has determined the importance of normal pelvic neuro-biomechanics including uterine function and pelvic alignment for the prevention of dystocia (difficult birth). It has also determined that correct positioning of the baby in-utero affects birth outcome and decreases the potential for undue stress to the baby's developing spine and nerve system. Chiropractic literature has determined the significance of sacral adjustments in normalizing pelvic neuro-biomenchanics. It is therefore considered prudent that this specific sacral analysis and adjustment be used throughout pregnancy to detect and alleviate sacral imbalance and optimize pelvic neuro-biomechanics in the mother. Because of the particular female adaptations from the increase of hormones, weight gain and postural adaptations, pregnant mothers have a greater chance of sacral subluxation and neuro-biomechanical imbalance than the general population. Additionally, because of the effect the chiropractic adjustment has on all body functions by reducing nerve system stress, pregnant mothers may have significant benefit by having their spines checked regularly throughout pregnancy, optimizing health benefits for both the mother and baby. The International Chiropractic Pediatric Association offers classes of instruction and awards qualified attendees a Certificate of Proficiency in the Webster protocol. Only those doctors on our site maintain recognized certification status for the Webster protocol.
ACBSP Position Statement on Concussion in Athletics The management of concussion in athletics is an area of sports medicine that is clearly in continued evolution. Several methods of evaluating and assessing concussion that were once considered standards of care are now defunct. The importance of arriving at correct clinical decisions regarding the assessment, management and return to play criteria of individuals who have sustained concussion remains one of the greatest challenges to sports medicine providers. Regarding the qualifications of Doctors of Chiropractic and their involvement in concussion management, it is the position of the ACBSP that: 1. Doctors of Chiropractic with current ACBSP post graduate certification(s) in sport (DACBSP and CCSP) are qualified to manage the concussed individual in any patient population. 2. Doctors of Chiropractic may evaluate, diagnosis and manage the concussed individual. The prerequisite management skills for a concussed athlete can be supported by additional education such as the ACBSP concussion registry. 3. All health care providers involved in the management of concussed individuals have an obligation to maintain current knowledge regarding best practices in concussion management. The ACBSP does not endorse any specific methodology of concussion management because the methods of assessment and management of concussion are in transition. Regarding current best practices in concussion management it is the ACBSP position that: 1. Concussion may be caused by a direct blow to the head or elsewhere on the body. 2. Loss of consciousness is a key but NOT a required factor in the diagnosis of concussion. An individual may be concussed without a loss of consciousness. 3. Individuals with concussion may present with wide range of signs and symptoms such as physical signs of neurologic impairment, or/and symptoms of impaired brain function which may include abnormal behavior. 4. An athlete suspected of concussion must be removed from play and immediately assessed. 5. The concussed individual must not be allowed to return to play the same day they were concussed. 6. Any individual with signs or symptoms of concussion at rest or with exertion should not be allowed to participate in sport until the signs and symptoms have resolved. 7. Consultation with a qualified health care provider, including a DACBSP or CCSP, is essential after suspected concussion. 8. Individuals with concussion should be directly observed, receive serial examinations and not be left alone after the injury until their constellation of symptoms are static. 9. Any increase of symptoms (especially increasing headache, decreasing neurologic function, presence of any focal neurologic deficit, altered vital signs, or repeated vomiting) in a concussed individual requires urgent evaluation of the individual in a hospital setting. 10. A graded return-to-play protocol must be followed prior to resumption of full sporting activity. 11. Clearance by a qualified healthcare provider must be sought prior to the athlete returning-to-play. 12. An athlete must be symptom-free at rest and with exercise prior to return-to-play. A recommended current reference for consensus based approach to concussion management is the Consensus Statement on Concussion in Sport: The 3rd International Conference on Concussion in Sport Held in Zurich, November 2008. Agreement exists pertaining to principal messages conveyed within this document, the authors acknowledge that the science of concussion is evolving and, therefore, management and return-to-play (RTP) decisions remain in the realm of clinical judgment on an individualized basis.

Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADD/ADHD) is the most commonly reported childhood behavioral disorder, affecting between between 3 and 7% of American children. It is characterized by poor attention span, impulsive behaviors, and hyperactivity in some children. The diagnostic criteria are strictly observational, and there are no objective laboratory tests to confirm that diagnosis. Subjective evaluations of annoying, distracting, or inattentive behavior makes the "diagnosis" of ADD/ADHD speculative at best.The most common medical "treatment" for this controversial "disease" is prescriptions of Methylphenidate (Ritalin), a Class II controlled and addictive substance. The long-term effects of this drug on children is unknown, but the side-effects, including addiction, are becoming better understood.What is ADD/ADHD? Although it's exact "cause" is unknown, major etiologic contributors include adverse responses to food additives, intolerances to foods, sensitivities to environmental chemicals, molds, and fungi, and exposures to neurodevelopmental toxins, such as heavy metals and organohalide pollutants. [ 1] Nutrient deficiencies are common in ADD/ADHD. Supplementation with minerals, B vitamin complex, flavonoids, and the omega-3 and omega-6 essential fatty acids have shown promising results, as are reported in the Abstracts Section section below.A wholistic/integrative management program will include supplementation, dietary modification, detoxification, and removal of environmental toxins and toxic cleaners from the home.
The Winsor AutopsiesChiropractic Validated by Medical ResearchSince chiropractic's inception in 1895 there has been an understanding of the crucial relationship between the integrity of the spinal column and the function of the nerve system as a whole and specifically the tissues and organs that they supply. The interrelatedness of the spine and nerve system, even way back then, was evident in its simplest of understandings.It was this basic observation that led to the profession of chiropractic focusing on the function of the nerve system and how it is the main source for transmitting the inborn intelligence and information one requires to express their fullest health potential. In essence, to the degree one maintained a healthy nerve system, one free of interference and aberrant communication in relation to the spine, is to the degree one was able to express the fullest potential for life and health.Chiropractors influence the function of the nerve system through the spine and spinal subsystems thereby allowing the body to increase its own inborn ability to sef-regulate and self-heal.Why Don't M.D.s Recognize the Importance of Nerve Function?Fast forward 110 years later. I can't tell you how many times I have a person in front of me to whom I explain these simple workings of the importance of nerve function in the role of their health. I know I am not the only chiropractor who hears this next line all too frequently, "Why didn't my M.D. tell me that?"My answer is usually something along the lines of, "Maybe they just simply don't know and you should explain it to them." In truth I do not know the answer, but my best guess would be that these understandings were firstly and continue to be associated with chiropractic and chiropractors. Their biasness professionally is that chiropractic ideas have not come from any medical research or any allopathic physician and therefore are not valid.Well fret no longer; thanks to a wonderful M.D. who spent many long hours in the lab we have results that support the basics of the chiropractic view of a life and death relationship between the nerves and the function of the organs as they relate to the spine.Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you:The Winsor AutopsiesHenry Winsor, a medical doctor in Haverford, Pennsylvania, asked the question:"Chiropractors claim that by adjusting one vertebra, they can relieve stomach troubles and ulcers; by adjusting another, menstrual cramps; and by adjusting others conditions such as kidney diseases, constipation, heart disease, thyroid conditions, and lung disease may resolve-but how?"Dr. Winsor decided to investigate this new science and art of healing, chiropractic.DissectionsAfter graduating from medical school, Dr. Winsor was inspired by chiropractic and osteopathic literature to experiment. He planned to dissect human and animal cadavers to see if there was a relationship between any diseased internal organ discovered on autopsy and the vertebrae associated with the nerves that went to the organ. As he wrote:"The object of these necropsies (dissections) was to determine whether any connection existed between minor curvatures of the spine, on the one hand, and diseased organs on the other; or whether the two were entirely independent of each other."University PermissionThe University of Pennsylvania gave Dr. Winsor permission to carry out his experiments. In a series of three studies he dissected a total of 75 human and 22 cat cadavers. The following are Dr. Winsor's results:"Two hundred twenty-one structures other than the spine were found diseased. Of these, 212 were observed to belong to the same sympathetic (nerve) segments as the vertebrae in curvature. Nine diseased organs belonged to different sympathetic segments from the vertebrae out of line.These figures cannot be expected to exactly coincide ... for an organ may receive sympathetic filaments from several spinal segments and several organs may be supplied with sympathetic (nerve) filaments from the same spinal segments. In other words, there was nearly a 100 percent correlation between minor curvatures of the spine and diseases of the internal organs.Diseases examined:*Stomach DiseasesAll nine cases of spinal misalignment in the mid-thoracic area (T5-T9) had stomach disease.*Lung DiseaseAll 26 cases of lung disease had spinal misalignments in the upper thoracic spine.*Liver DiseaseAll 13 cases of liver disease had misalignments in the mid thoracic (T5-T9)*GallstonesAll five cases with gallstone disease had spinal misalignments in the mid thoracic.*PancreasAll three cases with pancreas disease had spinal misalignments in the mid thoracics.*SpleenAll 11 cases with spleen diseases had spinal misalignments in the mid thoracics.*KidneyAll 17 cases with kidney disease were out of alignment in the lower thoracics.*Prostate and Bladder DiseaseAll eight cases with kidney, prostate and bladder disease had the lumbar (L2-L3) vertebrae misaligned*UterusThe two cases with the uterine conditions had the second lumbar misaligned.*Heart DiseaseAll 20 cases with heart and pericardium conditions had the upper five thoracic vertebrae (T1-T5) misaligned.Dr. Winsor's results are published in The Medical Times, November 1921, and are found in any medical library.That's right, folks: 1921 !!!!!_________________________________________Modern Research Also Shows Benefits of ChiropracticWhat is incredible is that there is much more research, a majority of it done in recent years, that shows the benefit of chiropractic care in many aspects of health such as the immune system. Wouldn't you want to know that chiropractic care could allow your family's immune systems to be as healthy as they are meant to be?The latest research shows people without any symptoms at all who receive chiropractic care IMPROVE their health.That means there is valid scientific documentation that as you incorporate chiropractic care into your lifestyle you continue to get healthier even if you don't have any current symptoms!Now let me just acknowledge that many in our profession of chiropractic educate people to know that judging their health based upon symptoms is not wise and that even in the absence of symptoms someone can be quite sick. I am not disagreeing with that at all.However, I am simply shifting the focus onto creating health, wellness and wholeness. We have no choice in that life is a continuous process that goes on with or without us. We do have a choice in either taking a passive and unaware role in the processes of creating a downward spiral of sickness and disease, or an informed and active one in creating an upward spiral of health and vitality. Which would you choose for yourself? How about for your child?How Many of us Receive Chiropractic Care?Our profession has been educating, talking about, asking, and sometimes pleading with people to get checked for nerve interference by a chiropractor for over 100 years. Over 85 years ago the medical community itself validated chiropractic's reasoning with science.Sadly to this day only 10 percent to 18 percent of our country's population has gotten under some type of chiropractic care according to various statistics.We continue to get sicker as a country that encompasses something like 5 percent of the world's population, who consume around 60 percent of the world's pharmaceuticals. This concept of better health through better drugs is not working and, more importantly, it is killing us. Conservatively speaking, the third leading cause of death in this country is the medical profession.So whether you have a disease, an illness or symptoms, are without a symptom and want to create more health, or want to find out more about your body, the state of your spine, if you have nerve interference and more importantly how much or little you are expressing your health potential, you could benefit from a chiropractor.Many of my colleagues across the country and world give health care classes, new patient orientations and speak to all sorts of groups. Please see the wonderful chiropractor locator and schedule yourself an appointment, or at the very least find out when the chiropractor nearest you is giving a talk about health, wellness and chiropractic as it relates to you and your family's lives.I promise you it is the greatest gift you can give yourself and your family, now that you have started to understand how the body actually works!Reference:Much of this article was modified from an original article from Tedd Koren, D.C.All quotes from: Winsor, H. Sympathetic segmental disturbances -- II.

Doctor of the FutureClaim: Thomas Edison said that "The doctor of the future will give no medicine but will interest his patients in the care of the human frame, in diet and in the cause and prevention of disease." TRUEOrigins: The original notion claimed for the health maintenance organization (HMO) concept that has come to dominate the U.S. medical care industry over the last few decades was that by providing patients with prepaid medical service for a set fee they would be encouraged to seek preventive or early care, thus saving money in the long run by helping to head off the hefty costs of treatment and hospitalization associated with serious and chronic illnesses. Although the HMO concept was not widely put into practice until the 1970s, prepaid health plans existed (on a small scale) before the beginning of the 20th century, and the idea of managed health care is of similar age, as expressed in this 1908 article:The day is near at hand when the doctor will no longer be engaged to patch up the sick man, but to prevent him from getting sick. He will visit families, examine the premises, inspect factories and shops, and give instruction to his patients how to keep from getting sick. Each family will select its doctor and pay him so much a year per capita. The doctors will not lose by the arrangement, either.Recent years have seen increased interest in alternatives to "traditional" medicine, such as holistic medicine, a system that focuses on areas such as personal accountability for one's health, the human body's ability to heal itself, and balancing the body, mind, and spirit with the environment, as well as encompassing practices such as acupuncture, biofeedback, faith healing, folk medicine, meditation, megavitamin therapy, and yoga. Many people don't accept the efficacy of alternative forms of medicine, though, so having a famous and respected scientific commentator seemingly anticipate the rise of holistic medicine helps to lend credibility to that field, hence the popularity of the above-cited quote regarding the nature of the "doctor of the future" which is commonly attributed to renowned inventor Thomas Edison. Indeed, this quote has been widely reproduced and distributed by chiropractors (a group of practitioners who have often been criticized as being outside the realm of "real" medical science) for many years, as evidenced by this 1964 newspaper advertisement: But did Edison ever really say such a thing? Beyond the invocation of Thomas Edison's name, the "doctor of the future" statement typically appears unaccompanied by any other details, such as when, where, and in what context Edison supposedly spoke these words. And the authors of the 1989 book They Never Said It maintained that no one had yet been able to trace the quote back to Edison himself:The doctor-of-the-future statement is popular with American chiropracters [sic]. It appears on their stationery and in frames on the walls of their offices. But it appears nowhere in the writings of the great American inventor. Neither the Palmer Chiropractic College archivist in Davenport, Iowa, not researchers at the Edison Historical Society could locate it. In the early 1980s the American Chiropractic Association offered a small reward to anyone who could provide the source in Edison's writings, but to date there have been no takers.We decided to undertake the challenge, and we opted to start by trying to determine how long ago this statement first came to be attributed to Edison. If we found that the earliest references to this statement didn't start to appear in print until well after Edison's death, that would be a strong indicator the words were likely a false, post-mortem attribution rather than something Edison actually said. The oldest reproduction of this quote we initially found that credited the "doctor of the future" statement to Thomas Edison appeared in another newspaper advertisement placed by a chiropractor, this one published in 1920: We gleaned two important leads from that advertisement:Since the ad appeared well within Edison's lifetime (the famous inventor passed away in 1931), the quote could not easily be dismissed as words that had been put into Edison's mouth after his death (when he was no longer around to deny having said them).The original statement, if it existed, might be worded in a significantly different fashion than the form in which it was now commonly circulated.With those leads, and some additional searching, we turned up several newspaper articles from late 1902 and early 1903 that reprinted Edison's predictions for the upcoming year. Those predictions included some comments from him about the future of medicine, a portion of which incorporated the "doctor of the future" statement now attributed to him:"Nineteen hundred and three will bring great advances in surgery, in the study of bacteria, in the knowledge of the cause and prevention of disease. Medicine is played out. Every new discovery of bacteria shows us all the more convincingly that we have been wrong and that the million tons of stuff we have taken was all useless. "The doctor of the future will give no medicine, but will instruct his patient in the care of the human frame, in diet and in the cause and prevention of disease. "They may even discover the germ of old age. I don't predict it, but it might be by the sacrifice of animal life human life could be prolonged. "Surgery, diet, antiseptics - these three are the vital things of the future in preserving the health of humanity. There were never so many able, active minds at work on the problems of diseases as now, and all their discoveries are tending to the simple truth - that you can't improve on nature."The bolded passage is rendered slightly differently in various newspaper accounts (e.g., "The doctor of the future - there will always be doctors - will instruct his patient how to care for the human frame and how to diet himself instead of giving him medicine"), perhaps due to the vagaries of reporters' having to transcribe an oral statement as it was being spoken (or later from memory), but it's clear that the gist of the statement in question was widely and contemporaneously reported as something Thomas Edison himself said in late 1902. However, one should keep in mind the context in which Edison made this statement. He was speaking at a time when very little effective "medicine" existed: the drugs used for alleviating illness in his era consisted primarily of useless (and often harmful) "snake oil" concoctions, toxic bromides, and "patent medicines" based on narcotics such as heroin, opium, morphine, and cocaine. Aspirin, which might be considered the very first safe, effective, non-addictive drug to be widely used, had been introduced only a few years prior to Edison's remarks, and the development of antibiotics was still several decades away. In retrospect, therefore, it's hardly surprising that a scientist speaking at the dawn of the 20th century might have declared medicine to be "played out" and instead have advocated a focus on health maintenance, disease prevention, and surgical treatment over a reliance on crude drugs.

Meet the McGhie family: We are an adventurous family of six outdoorsy animal lovers. After moving to Chattanooga Tennessee (specifically Signal Mountain), we expanded our hearts by adding five Siberian Huskies to our family.

We began breeding Pomsky puppies in 2016 and have found our hearts have expanded even more! We are excited to share our love of Pomskies with the world and look forward to matching our sweet puppies with their "furever" families. We are on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and YouTube.

Purely Pomskies
We are a family owned business located in Northern Virginia. We started following Pomskies about four years ago. After seeing a lot of beautiful puppies we finally decided to purchase one in October of 2014. We had followed one of the pioneers of the breed (Apex Pomskies) and were fortunate to purchase one of their beautiful 25/75 puppies. From the moment we met Nola Belle, we knew we wanted to make other people happy by providing these beautiful babies. We purchased our female Husky for breeding just four months later and our journey began.
The dogs we use for breeding are also our pets. They do not live in cages; they live in our home and even sleep in our room. The fact that they sleep with us will most likely change as we add more puppies to our breeding pool (our bed is only so big).
We do not sell to the highest bidder. We require applications on all purchases and take great care when selecting potential owners.
Our puppies receive exceptional care while they are with us. They have 3 visits to the vet, get their first vaccinations, first and second worming, and come with a record of vaccinations from the vet. We do DNA testing on each litter and the results are provided upon request. We also provide Pomsky Club of America registration papers on all of our puppies.
Our goal is to place the right puppy with the right owner.

The Pomsky Patch
Here at The Pomsky Patch, we enthusiastically promote and educate dog lovers about this intriguing, emerging new breed. Already being recognized as loving family dogs, Pomskies (a.k.a., Miniature Huskies and Arctic Spitz) are gaining popularity for their intelligent, friendly, and playful temperament.
As a hobby breeder, our goal is not only to produce a beautiful puppy but to also ensure that our dogs have some of the best dispositions the breed has to offer. We do this by staying in close contact with the families who adopt one of our pups, soliciting feed-back at every stage of their development.
We also make ourselves available in a support role (especially in the early stages of puppy rearing) to share our knowledge with new owners when called upon, encouraging them to be the best Pomsky parents possible. We often refer our customers to training resources and information sources that will keep them ahead of the knowledge curve as their pups grow and mature.
Our operation consists of a climate controlled, finished basement level of our home which provides ample safe space for us and our puppies to romp prior to their adoption. Our website and Facebook page includes video footage and lots of photos of both our indoor and outdoor puppy rearing amenities. We invite you to take a look.

Scroll Compressor

What is a Spiral Compressor?
A scroll compressor is a versatile piece of equipment. Often found in air conditioning systems and heat pump units, or in automobile air conditioning systems, it is a mechanical part that adds a lot of value to our everyday lives. The main purpose of the scroll compressor is to compress air or refrigerant.
A scroll compressor is known by a variety of different names, including; a scroll pump, scroll vacuum pump, or a spiral compressor. The scroll compressor is circular and is spiral in shape. Two inter-twining scrolls work together, in order to pump, or pressurize, the air or refrigerant, don't be mistaken for the reciprocating air compressor that create gas and it has a cylinder shape.
Of the two scrolls, one of them is usually in a fixed position, while the other one rotates, or orbits, around the other. Other scroll compressors are created so that both scrolls co-rotate simultaneously. Either way, the goal is to trap, compress, and pump fluid or air through the scrolls.
History of the Scroll Compressor
For the purpose of expanding air or refrigerant fluid , a scroll expander is the device of choice. it is basically a scroll compressor but works in the reverse mode.
The scroll compressor was originally created by a French inventor in 1905, but it wasn't until the mid-1900's when mass production began. This delay in production was due to a lack of proper construction of the compressor. In addition, it wasn't until the 1980's wen they were manufactured specifically for air conditioning units.

Advantages of The Scroll Compressor
There are many advantages of using a scroll compressor. One advantage is the small size of the scroll compressor. Because they are so small, they are able to be placed in very tight places, which can also be a cost-saving feature. However, sometimes the small size proves to be a challenge when the scroll is overflowing with too much liquid.
Scroll compressors tend to run very smoothly and they are typically more reliable than other types of compressors. Due to the fact that they have fewer mechanical parts than other compressors, they also have fewer parts that can break down. They are also pretty quiet mechanisms and display very little vibration.
The invention of the scroll compressor has helped many of us in ways we probably don't even notice. It is just one of the parts that allows us to stay at a comfortable temperature in our homes and workplaces on any given day. Call Metro Heating & Cooling for help.

A senior officer gave up some of his period home on leave to deliver a public lecture on how his battalion was getting on.
The 2/4th R. Berks
The distinguished CO of this Battalion, Lt-Col. J H Dimmer, VC, MC, while home on leave, besides giving up much of his time to making acquaintance with families and friends of officers and men under his command, kindly gave a lecture on 16th January in Reading, upon the doings of the battalion, and the general conditions of life on foreign service.
He impressed his audience with a feeling of confidence that their "lads" were well looked after at the front, and that the battalion was not only a happy battalion, all ranks having full trust in each other, but that it had deservedly won a good reputation among those who ought to know, as was proved by private and official congratulations which he had received upon its behaviour in recent strenuous times.
The Burghfield men in the battalion at present are Captain G Willink, MC, Sergeant Ernest Wise, and Privates W Bushnell, L Clarke, B Hutchins and D Hutchins.

In my previous post I logged some of my finding about Date vs. DateTime type. Here is another reason that Date type may cause problem.
In TABLE1 we have a StartDate which is a Date type. Through SLOX UI everything works fine – 00:00:00 is used as the time value when saving and SLOX knows not to do any conversion.
However there is a database view retrieving same field. It seems that SLOX doesn't know the exact type of the field in the view so it does the UTC-to-local conversion. The result is that we get back a value which is 7/8 hours earlier.
I don't know why SLOX provides different Date and DateTime type in table design. In SQL 2005 they are all DateTime. Maybe it saves spaces in other databases?

Levitating Koi Fish at Descanso Gardens...
One of my favorite things to do is to sit and watch the koi fish at Descanso Gardens. I usually photograph them as I watch them. I am going through some of my koi fish photographs today to select some of them to print out and sketch for an upcoming painting. It's hard to decide, there are so many cute koi fish! This one caught my attention because to me in the photograph it looks a bit like the koi fish is levitating. In reality, it is in the water, but I thought it was a nifty optical illusion...

Franklin has the special distinction in being one of the few U.S. automakers to achieve real success with air-cooled power. It was featured on the very first Franklins of 1902, which immediately won a reputation for high quality and innovation that would carry on right to the end of the company in 1934.
Weight-saving construction received particular emphasis. In an age when cast iron was the standard stuff of engine blocks, pistons, and cylinder heads, Franklin used high-grade, light-weight aluminum. At one time, Franklin was the world's largest consumer of aluminum. Equally unusual were the cars' all-around full-elliptic springs, which provided a smoother ride and much reduced tire wear than most competitors' half-elliptic suspensions.
A flexible wood frame also softened the ride. By 1920, other advanced technical features such as full-pressure lubrication, automatic spark control, and electric choke were long-familiar Franklin fare. So too were six-cylinder engines; Franklin abandoned fours after 1914.
Franklin's commitment to "aircooling" got a boost when Charles A. Lindbergh made his historic transatlantic flight in 1927. After all, the Spirit of St. Louis had an air-cooled engine, and Franklin advertising eagerly pointed up the parallel. The company then began using the name "Airman" on some 1928 models to honor the Lone Eagle. All Franklins that year adopted four-wheel Lockheed hydraulic brakes and a steel chassis. Standard "silent second" synchromesh was further innovation for 1929.
Like many Detroit producers, Franklin entered the '30s with optimism despite Wall Street's recent, ominous crash. That was understandable. The company had enjoyed record sales in 1929, and interest in both aviation and air-cooling was at an all-time high.
Reflecting Franklin's rosy outlook was its 1930 line of "145" and "147" models with new styling and power on respective wheelbases of 125 and 132 inches. Both were announced by a handsome new radiator, which Franklin always termed a "hood front," believing that a conventional radiator was essential to sales. This now had shutters governing the amount of incoming air, with shutter opening controlled automatically by a thermostat connected to the number-one cylinder.
Per company tradition, the new engine had six individually cast cylinders and overhead valves, but differed in having cooling air directed to the sides of the block from left to right -- an arrangement soon known as "side-blast" cooling. The six delivered 95 horsepower from 274 cubic inches.
Franklin had always been a luxury make, so its chassis were a logical basis for many custom bodies, typically by Derham, Dietrich, Locke, and Brunn. Among the more memorable 1930 open styles was Dietrich's four-door Pirate, available as either a five-passenger phaeton or seven-seater touring. Its most striking feature was running boards fully concealed by flared door bottoms.
Also new that year was the Pursuit, a dual-cowl phaeton that lacked external door handles in the interest of cleaner appearance. Upholstery in the Pursuit's front compartment wrapped up and over the outer edge of the doors a la aircraft cockpits of the day.
Dietrich also conjured a popular four-door, four-seat speedster with an abbreviated body ending midway over the rear wheels. Most of these were closed styles with permanent canvas tops, but a full-convertible option was offered at extra cost.
As you might expect, famous pioneer aviators like Lindbergh, Amelia Earhart, and Frank Hawks chose Franklins as their personal cars, something else the company was only too eager to publicize. But though Franklin had its sporty models, it never sold cars on that basis. Most of its customers were physicians, attorneys, business executives, and other professionals, so paint colors were usually conservative and blackwall tires were the norm.
Franklin was ahead of the industry by selling more sedans than open cars before 1920, and sedans remained the models of choice in the '30s. Franklins may thus be described as conservative, elegant, and fairly expensive. The owners were loyal, and Franklin had many repeat customers.
For more on defunct American cars, see:
Sinking Franklin Creates Cheaper Models
Franklin claimed its share of the "fine car business" was up 100 percent in the first quarter of 1930 versus the comparable 1928 period. Trouble was, the Great Depression had all but killed the "fine car business," so Franklin's 1930 calendar-year sales came to less than half its 1929 total. Seeking desperately to maintain production levels, Franklin introduced the "Transcontinent Six" (Series 141) in May 1930. Like the "145," it offered a closed coupe, convertible coupe, victoria brougham, and four-door sedan on the 125-inch chassis.
The sedan was the cheapest car Franklin offered, but even its $2395 price was four times the cost of a new Model A Ford. In those days, remember, such sums equaled a nice annual salary. With all this, model-year production was dismal: just 5744.
Offerings were promptly pared for 1931. Transcontinent returned with its previous body styles at prices trimmed to just $1800-$1900. Up in the $2400-$2700 area was the DeLuxe Six, a four-model group sporting rakish clamshell fenders and beautiful flowing body lines by Ray Dietrich on the 132-inch wheelbase. The six was coaxed up to 100 brake horsepower for all models.
Advertising continued to stress engineering links with aviation via florid phrases such as "riding like gliding." But the Great Depression had set in with a vengeance, and Franklin's model-year production withered to 2851.
Then Franklin hatched a startling idea: an air-cooled V-12 -- a mighty thing with 398 cid and 150 bhp. Franklin advertised its V-12 as "supercharged," but in reality it had a ram-air effect, courtesy of a duct from the cooling fan.
The Twelve was originally planned for the 1931 DeLuxe Six chassis, but was delayed to '32 by financial problems. Franklin had failed to meet payment on certain notes, and the banks sent in managers to protect their investment. Company president Edwin McEwen also decided some changes were needed, so the Twelve bowed as an entirely new and larger car for 1932.
It resembled previous Franklins only in being air-cooled. The traditional full-elliptics and tubular front axle gave way to semi-elliptics and an I-beam. Instead of bodies built by Walker of Massachusetts, Franklin's longtime supplier, Twelve coach-work was hand-crafted at the company's own Syracuse factory.
LeBaron was responsible for the styling, distinguished by a sharply Vee'd "hood cover" extending back to a jaunty angled windshield. By the standards of 1932, the Franklin Twelve was truly exotic and magnificent to the eye. On a 144-inch wheelbase chassis, its size alone was impressive.
But sales were far from that: an estimated 200 for the model year, plus another 1700 or so six-cylinder Airmans on the 132-inch wheelbase chassis. Franklin's situation was now quite desperate.
Accordingly, the firm issued an even cheaper line for 1933. Dubbed Olympic, it resulted from a hasty agreement with Reo, another automaker facing imminent demise. Basically it was Reo's new 118-inch-wheelbase Flying Cloud with a Franklin six installed by Franklin in Syracuse, New York.
Reo shipped 30 bodies a day from its Lansing, Michigan, factory; a like number of Olympics rolled out of Syracuse the following day. Franklin's investment was modest, so the Olympic's retail price was attractively low: $1385 for either the coupe or sedan, and $1500 for a convertible coupe.
The Olympic was a very good car, but it was too late to save Franklin. Just 1218 were built for 1933, and a mere 109 for swan-song 1934. Franklin also offered mechanically unchanged Twelves and Airman Sixes in those final two years, each with four body styles, but production was minuscule. Combined totals were only 98 and 468 units, respectively.
The Franklin story didn't end with bankruptcy. The company was bought by a firm led by former Franklin engineers and began manufacturing Franklin air-cooled airplane engines. Helicopter engines were added in the '40s. In '48 water-cooling was added to a Franklin helicopter engine to power the Tucker car. Aircraft engine production continued into the 1970s.

Muse Massaging
Because I like lists, and because I'm on a deadline tighter than my skinny jeans, I've created lists of things than can both KILL and FUEL your muse. I'm not speaking from personal experience of course. :ahem:
What's guaranteed to kill your muse stone dead:
1-Reading poor reviews of your other work—don't do it. Just don't. A good review won't suddenly make your writing go from mediocre to New York Times, but a bad review can shoot down your writing day faster than you can say Scotch on the Rocks.
2-Editing another book—if you can help it. I'm "this" close to finishing Last Vamp Standing. The manuscript is due to my editor mid-May and I'm chugging right along. BUT I had to remember to leave enough time to edit a novella that's coming out with Harlequin this summer. They're both paranormal. Shouldn't be too hard to switch between them, right? Wrong. My edit brain works on one level while my creative brain works on a completely different one. Don't try that at home…
3-Overachieving—Now is not the time to volunteer to work double shifts at work or start a hardcore workout program like Insanity or P90X. Now's not the time to deep clean your closets or learn how to become a chef. Now's the time to get your book done. Tackle one beast at a time.
Things that can FUEL your muse:
1-Music—I'm currently listening to Augie March, There Is No Such Place over and over (and ever over) again. My husband recites the definition of insanity to me (you know, doing the same thing over and over again, expecting a different result), but if Augie March is doin' it for my muse, I'm rolling with it. Find something that does it for you.
2-Dancing. Running. Kick-boxing. Anything physical. Get that blood flowing. Period.
3-Watching a movie in genre—Keep with the tone, the darkness (or lightness) of characters. (Last week I watched The Last Airbender, Underworld and The Hunger Games. Although you'd think that paints a damn foggy picture of the book I'm writing, it's pretty clear for me…either that or I'm genuinely confused, which is always a possibility…insanity, remember?) Immediately after the movie ends, go home and write. Ideas should flow like wine and if they don't, drink the real thing.
