Natalie: Does diet affect brain health? If so, what can be a good diet for an MSer to keep cognitive function tip on top?
Professor Dawn Langdon, Neuropsychologist: Well, I think that there's kind of two schools of thought about diet. So one school of thought is the kind of scientific, where's the evidence, what do we know, school of thought and I'm going to talk about that first. And that school of thought is really all the dietary evidence for good health in MS, brain health in MS, preserving cognitive function, preserving other function, is just about having the healthy diet that everybody knows, which I don't even need to go through. But if anyone wants to check it up, you know, NHS England's got pages and pages on that. Some people with MS, some groups, feel very strongly that there are particular diets which are particularly helpful for people with MS and that might be an additive, or it might be a particular pattern of eating, a particular sort of profile selection of items. And what I would say about that is if there's no evidence, okay, obviously I'm from the scientific camp, which you can decide whether that's a good one or not, if there's no evidence, I would say, set yourself the target, have the criterion that the diet you're adopting is at least a healthy one. So maybe check with a nutritionist or, you know, so that you're not eating in such a way that you're depriving yourself of stuff that actually your body and your cells need. So it's a bit boring, I'm afraid.
Natalie: So just to confirm from what you've said, would you suggest for someone who was wanting to try a diet perhaps it would be best to speak to their neurologist or an MS nurse just to clarify and speak to them before they completely made a change to this diet?
Professor Dawn Langdon: Yeah, I think, you know, common sense approach. If it's something which, you know, if you show your friends, they say, well that doesn't look right, living on that for a year, you know, if that's the sort of common sense approach, then I would say get some advice and just first of all see whether it is a healthy diet or not. If it's not, make the choice about whether you want to do it or not, but be informed. My advice would be, don't do it. And maybe, if you speak to someone else they can find a way of making that diet a healthy diet that still include the things that you want to try or that you feel very convinced by that other people have argued have been very helpful for them. But anything in extreme is likely to be unhelpful because you've got to keep everything going optimally to get the best possible function and brain health that you can.

This is the first part of a quite lengthy article I wrote last summer, that tries to summarize the history of computer games and computer games platforms. This first part covers the early years of the 8-bit era, from 1977 to 1982.As an amateur historian of computer games, I find it fascinating that in the '80s and part of the '90s, companies were developing their titles for so many different platforms. For example, take Lode Runner: it was initially released for Apple II, Atari-8 bit, Commodore 64, Vic-20 and IBM-PC. Then it was ported to ZX Spectrum, MSX, BBC Micro, Amstrad CPC, Atari ST, and Amiga. Ultima IV was released for Amiga, Atari 8-bit, Atari ST, C64, DOS, MSX, and the Japanese computers FM-7, FM-Towns, PC-88, PC-98, Sharp X1, and X68000. Read More

Nel 1980 il Wall Street Journal pubblica un'intervista a Steve Jobs dove lui dichiara candidamente: "quando inventammo il personal computer...". Nell'occhiello il giornalista ribadisce: "Steve Jobs inventò il primo personal computer nel 1976 con il suo socio Steve Wozniak". L'intervista di per sé non è rimasta nella storia, ma potrebbe aver dato il via ad un mito che ancora oggi è più vivo che mai. Read More

I wrote this article for GamesNostalgia because I have always been fascinated by Thalion Software, one of the most talented game development studios of the '90s. Gurus of the 68000 based home computers (Amiga and Atari ST) these guys created some of the games that I loved most when I was young. They were real innovators, and they could not accept the limits of the hardware. That's why their story is so interesting. Read More

Files.it è stato uno dei primi siti in Italia (forse al mondo) ad offrire una selezione di programmi scaricabili gratuitamente per PC.Alla fine degli anni 90 Internet era ormai esplosa e la gente aveva scoperto che si potevano scaricare programmi dalla rete. Anche se non tutti sapevano la differenza tra freeware e shareware, si era capito che in rete si trovava tutto ciò che poteva servire al proprio PC: browser alternativi, client di posta, messengers, programmi per archiviare (zip, rar), file manager, media players, antivirus, screensaver e ovviamente giochi.

Quando mi hanno chiesto se avevo mai giocato a Santa Paravia e Fiumaccio pensavo fosse uno scherzo. Sembrava un nome uscito dal film "Non ci resta che piangere", non il titolo di un videogame. La sorpresa è stata scoprire che non solo esiste, ma che, ancora oggi, conserva un discreto numero di fan. E' un gioco dalla storia intrigante, che ho deciso di raccontare. Read More

When I first heard about Colonization, I thought: ok, so this is just like Civilization, but instead of the entire world, you only have America; instead of barbarians you have the Indians tribes; instead of the whole span of the history of humankind, you have no more than 358 years. You don't have technological advancements or scientific research, so that you won't discover robots or jets. Why should I play it? I was very wrong. Read More

Last September my team and I decided to test a new methodology called Dual Track Agile for the development of our product (a simple mobile game called Game Arena). The main principles of the methodology are listed in this post I published on October 7th. After 4 months I thought it would be nice to tell you about this experience, how we applied it, what worked and what didn't work for us. Read More

Last July I had the chance to follow a 2 days training called "How to Create Products Customers Love" held by the Silicon Valley Product Group. The workshop was really intense and information-rich, with a lot of useful suggestions for our product team and our product development process. In this post, I'll try to give a recap of the points that I consider the most important ones. In the meantime, I have been trying to put the teachings into practice in my team, so I promise to write a new post about my personal experience soon. Read More

France: Economic growth accelerates amid strong domestic demand
November 15, 2011
According to preliminary data released on 15 November, third quarter GDP expanded 0.4% over the previous quarter. The reading contrasted the revised 0.1% contraction (previously reported: 0.0% quarter-on-quarter) recorded in the second quarter, but was in line with market expectations. On an annual basis, the economy expanded 1.6% in the third quarter, unchanged from the previous quarter. GDP rebounded in the third quarter mainly on the back of improving domestic demand. Private consumption expanded 0.3% over the previous period (Q2: -0.8% qoq), while gross fixed investment rose 0.4%, slightly below the 0.6% expansion observed in the previous quarter. Meanwhile, the contribution of inventory changes swung from minus 0.2 percentage points in the second quarter to zero in the third. In contrast, the external sector's net contribution to overall growth deteriorated from plus 0.5 percentage points in the second quarter to plus 0.1 percentage points in Q3, as imports rose more markedly than exports. Exports of goods and services expanded 0.7% (Q2: +0.5% qoq), while imports rebounded from a 1.2% contraction in the second quarter to a 0.3% expansion. INSEE expects the economy to expand 1.7% this year, according to its quarterly economic outlook released in October, which is in line with the government's forecast of 1.75%. For next year, the government expects economic growth to slow to 1.0%.

New East Cinema, a collective bringing cinema from the post-soviet territories to the UK, is trying to redress the gender imbalance in films coming from the 'New East'. It does so by showing a series of four short films about women – two of them by women – in a programme called 'Would You Look at Her'. Ground-breaking work was done by female directors in the Soviet Union, and women are still at the forefront of rebellious, subversive filmmaking in Russia and ex-soviet countries – and yet, recognition's lacking for them and their stories. In this light, Events like 'Would You Look at Her' are incredibly important for bringing relatively unknown voices to the fore.
Two recent graduates of the Rodchenko Art School, Vladlena Sandu and Alina Kotova engage in confrontational filmmaking with their excellent short Eight Images from the Life of Nastya Sokolova (2018). The film recounts important 'milestones' in the life of Nastya, a recent journalism graduate, through nine static, highly theatrical shots. She's in a typical office for her first job – as a debt collector. In deadpan tones, a male voice tells us that her conscience made her quit. It wasn't a great idea. By the next bizarre shot – in which Nastya and others stand next to a waterfall, looking bored in their swimming gear – we're told she's bored, drinking too much, sleeping around with guys she's not sure about, becoming depressed… Her dream was to become an actress. Instead, she's going nowhere and soon she's working in retail. The image of Nastya in a supermarket, recalling a young, angry Cindy Sherman, the aisle disappearing into the distance behind her, is full of silent despair. In fact, we never get to hear Nastya speak. She's cut off in the last scene, on the verge of finally saying something on her own terms. Nastya, alongside the rest of Russia's overqualified university graduates, has no voice. Nastya Sokolova is overtly political, even quoting prime minister Dmitry Medvedev's famous words 'There's no money, but you hang on in there!' With politicians like these, who's going to make it in Russia?
The three other films in the programme were more conventional, though nonetheless interesting. In Would You Look at Her (2017), Aneta, growing up in a small village in Macedonia, is bullied by her male peers for her relationship with another girl. She can pull off many feats of strength and bravery, though, as she soon proves to everyone. The film has good photography, and tense, tender moments, but Aneta's gender and her sexual orientation felt almost tokenistic and the film suffered somewhat as a result.
Seide (2015), by Elnura Osmonaileva, is about a young woman in Kyrgyzstan who's going to be married to the son of a family friend. Up until then, she'd been free to roam the steppe on her beloved horse, who'll also be sacrificed in honour of the marriage. The loss of freedom's compounded in this act of cruelty, incomprehensible to Seide. Although she's bound by the traditions of her culture, she can't help one small act of rebellion before the wedding…
The fourth short, Kalendar (2018), also by a student from the Rodchenko Art School, Igor Poplauhin, is mysterious and suspenseful. A kind and gentle woman's on a journey and not even her family knows where she's going; she keeps picking up the phone and telling them she's at work. It becomes clear at some point that she's never before met the man she visits for sex at a men's prison and will never see him again. Her desire for novelty and freedom from the mundanity of everyday life in the outskirts of a big Russian city takes the form of dark escapism. In this sense, Kalendar picks up from Nastya Sokolova, implying that in Russia today, some form of escapism is necessary to survive. The final scene, in which the woman plays a VR game in a headset borrowed from her son, is the surreal and beautiful climax to an eye-opening evening.
New East Cinema often brings compelling, unusual films from Central and Eastern Europe to the UK and I'd encourage anyone to go to one of their screenings. This event, however, was particularly thought-provoking in that it showed how young artists and filmmakers are responding to the issues in the region today.

What: Brain Imaging Series Lecture
When: September 29, 2010 3:15-4:15pm
Who: Free, Open to the public
Where: Coon Building, room 250
Dr. Kate Revill, PhD
Department of Psychology, Georgia Institute of Technology
Title: Using 'AA' to automate SPM data analysis at CABI
This workshop will cover the basics of using the 'automated analysis' software package (http://www.cambridgeneuroimaging.com/aawiki/index.php?title=Main_Page) to analyze functional MRI data at CABI. AA (v3.01) was installed by Rhodri Cusack when he visited CABI in January. It is a MATLAB-based software package that does most of the heavy lifting involved in scripting SPM (5 or 8 ) data analysis- it's very user-friendly (does not require extensive MATLAB programming experience) and quite useful. It handles everything from pre-processing to group-level analyses and can be run incrementally – new subjects or steps can be added without reprocessing existing data.
This workshop will cover how to get started with AA, how to set up your data processing tasklist and user script, how to set up and integrate first- and second-level models, and how to solve or resolve a few problems that might pop up from time to time. A hands-on component will be involved, but AA is only set up to run on CABI computers so you can either work on it after the workshop or come back later to try it on your own. Either way, stick around afterwards to socialize and talk science- food and beverages will be provided!

It will be an homage to the working class centered around a 1940's Chicago Shipyard. Research and development work is underway already and it looks as though there will be a lot of work ahead so I'd better buckle down and get busy.

In JIRA Portfolio I'd like to add a beta release to a Release. In summary, we have a number of epics that are being rolled out in a release, but we want to do an internal roll out before it goes out to the public. What is the best way to add this to the schedule stream in JIRA Portfolio?
Hi Warren, There is no dedicated concept for a sort of beta release - I'd recommend representing it simply as a "normal" release within a stream. The more interesting question will be: As for the efforts you have estimated on your backlog, do you need them done until the internal rollout, or the public release? Personally I focus the releases in Portfolio on the dates we need to get the work scheduled for, so that might actually be the beta date, leaving some leeway, or some dedicated work items to be scheduled between beta and the public release date.

Bus Transportation
The Webb City R-7 School District provides transportation to qualifying students. Bus routes have been established to best serve the needs of all pupils. In order to accomplish this task, it is required that students be picked up and delivered to the same address each day. If your child arrives home when you are not there, your child should always have an alternate place nearby to go. While students may be picked up at one address and delivered to another, as long as both addresses are within an existing route, neither address can vary from day to day. Only students on the driver's official roster will be allowed to ride the bus.
The school should be notified when a permanent change of address occurs. If for any reason the child is to be picked up at school by the parent, a note must be sent with the child or he/she will be put on the bus. The parent must sign the child out at the office when taking the child. Teachers will not release students until the office is made aware they are leaving.
Bus Transportation - Behavior
Bus transportation is provided to qualifying students according to bus routes approved by the Board of Education. Maintenance of proper behavior of all students when being transported to and from school and on school activities is required. Students who misbehave on school buses may be issued pink slips which serve as notification of the infraction and disciplinary action taken. Students who receive three pink slips may be denied transportation privileges for 10 days. Students who receive four pink slips may be denied transportation privileges for the remainder of the year. It is requested that all parents are cooperative with school officials to assure a safe and orderly transportation program. Administrators will use discretion in assigning consequences as necessary.

CBF-SEA LINK 2008 No. 34
now reaching 10,000+mark
My dear friends in the Word,
Zenit has published the synodal propositions 1-5, which were submitted to the Pope at the end of the world Synod of Bishops on the "Word of God in the Life and Mission of the Church," held last October at the Vatican. Attached please find the text we copied for you. The translation of the remaining propositions will be published by Zenit in subsequent services.
We would like to welcome the new contact person for the SVD Province of Java, Fr.. Isdaryanto, SVD, who has been appointed by the Provincial to coordinate the BA in Java. Father Is is very eager to learn from the experiences of new friends in the CBF. His email is email@example.com
We are very pleased to see that the number of visitors to our web has exceeded the 10.000. Congratulations, dear Fr. Doms!
In the Lord,
yours Sr. Emma Gunanto, osu.
Conclusions of Episcopal Assembly on Word of God
VATICAN CITY, DEC. 2, 2008 (Zenit.org).- Here are translations of the synodal propositions 1-5, which were submitted to Benedict XVI at the end of the world Synod of Bishops on the "Word of God in the Life and Mission of the Church," held in October at the Vatican.
ZENIT will publish a translation of the remaining propositions in subsequent services.
* * *
Proposition 1
Documents that were presented to the Supreme Pontiff Presented for the consideration of the Supreme Pontiff — in addition to the documents on the Word of God in the life and mission of the Church relating to this Synod, namely the lineamenta, the instrumentum laboris, the reports before and after discussion, and the texts of the interventions, whether those presented in t! he hall or those written, the reports of the minor circles and their discussions — above all some specific proposals, which the fathers held to be of particular importance.
The synodal fathers humbly requested the Holy Father to take the opportunity to offer a document on the mystery of the Word of God in the life and mission of the Church, also in the light of the Year dedicated to St. Paul, Apostle of the Gentiles, on the 2,000th anniversary of his birth.
Proposition 2
From the dogmatic constitution "Dei Verbum" to the synod on the Word of God
The synodal fathers, at more than 40 years after the promulgation of the dogmatic constitution on the divine revelation "Dei Verbum" to the work of the Vatican II ecumenical council, acknowledge with gratitude the great benefits contributed by this document to the life of the Church, at the exegetic, theological, spiritual, pastoral and ecumenical level.
Throughout the history of the "intellectus fidei" and of Christian doctrine, this constitution brought to light the Trinitarian and historic salvific horizon of revelation.
In these years the ecclesial awareness has undoubtedly grown that Jesus Christ, God's Word incarnate, "by the very fact of his presence and with the manifestation he makes of himself with words and works, with signs and miracles, and especially with his death and his resurrection from the dead, and at last with the sending of the Spirit of truth, fulfills and completes Revelation and corroborates it with the divine testimony, that is that God is with us to deliver us from the darkness of sin and death and resurrect us for eternal life" ("Dei Verbum," 4).
All this has allowed for further reflection on the infinite value of the Word of God that is given to us in sacred Scripture, as inspired testimony of revelation, which with the living Tradition of the Church constitutes the supreme rule of faith (cf. "Dei Verbum," 21). It is this same Word that is kept and interpreted faithfully by the Magisterium (cf. "Dei Verbum," 10), which is celebrated in the sacred Liturgy and which gives itself to us in the Eucharist as bread of eternal life (cf. John 6).
Treasuring all that emerged in these years, the Church feels today the need to reflect further on the mystery of the Word of God in its different articulations and pastoral implications. Hence, this synodal assembly expresses the hope that all the faithful will grow in the awareness of the mystery of Christ, only savior and mediator between God and men (cf. 1 Timothy 2:5; Hebrews 9:15), and the Church renewed by the religious hearing of the Word of God might undertake a new missionary season, proclaiming the Good News to all men.
Proposition 3
Analogy "Verbi Dei"
The expression Word of God is analogical. It refers fi! rst of all to the Word of God in Person who is the Only-begotten Son of God, born of the Father before all ages, Word of God made flesh (cf. John 18) is the unique and definitive Word entrusted to humanity. To receive the Revelation, man must open his mind and heart to the action of the Holy Spirit that makes him understand the Word of God present in the sacred Scriptures. Man responds to God in full liberty with the obedience of the faith (cf. Romans 1:5; 2 Corinthians 10:5-6; "Dei Verbum," 5).
Mary, Mother of Jesus, personifies this obedience of the faith in an exemplary manner, she is also the archetype of the faith of the Church that hears and receives the Word of God.
Proposition 5
Holy Spirit and Word of God
The sacred Scriptures, being a gift entrusted by the Holy Spirit to the Church Bride of Christ, have in the Church their own hermeneutical place.
The Spirit himself, who is Author of the sacred Scriptures, is also guide of their correct interpretation in the formation of the "fides Ecclesiae" through time.
The Synod recommended to pastors to remind all those baptized of the role of the Holy Spirit in inspiration (cf. "Dei Verbum," 11), in the interpretation and understanding of the sacred Scriptures (cf. "Dei Verbum," 12).
Consequently, all of us disciples are invited to invoke the Holy Spirit frequently, so that he will lead us to ever more profound knowledge of the Word of God and to the testimony of our faith (cf. John 15:26-27). They remind the faithful that the sacred Scriptures close evoking the common cry of the Spirit and the Bride: "Come Lord Jesus" (cf. Revelation 22:17-20).

With a GoPro mounted on an Abrams, Iraqi military and paramilitary units teamed up to clear the Alsjarih neighborhood of Ramadi.
As the war in Syria escalated, the Russian "ANNA" team of journalists, led by Andrey Filatov, embedded with the Syrian Army, placing video cameras on the different tanks and infantry fighting vehicles during some of the heaviest fighting. That footage, in my mind, is some of the best war documentation ever gathered from any conflict, ever. Let's hope this Iraqi combat camera crew continues to follow in those footsteps, and could potentially bring us videos on par with, or even better, than the ones that came out of Syria in the past.

In Japan, the best angler is often considered to be the one who can catch the smallest of fish. Tanago fishing is a unique sport with a long history in Japanese sport and lore. The tackle consists of the smallest of rods with the smallest of hooks, and before the advent of nylon lines, a woman's long hair.
Maybe I was born at the wrong time on the wrong side of the world.
Let's go back a few days for the main text of this story. We had a couple of weeks worth of warm weather with rain mixed in periodically. Between the air temperature and the warm rains, the rivers and lakes warmed up rather quickly, finally hitting the mid 60s. The various species of fish had begun their spawn cycles, one after another.
And there was a largemouth bass tournament. I had never really fished a true bass tournament, and this was a kayak only tournament, so I decided to give it a go. There would be people I knew competing, and many more I did not know. My only worries were I would not catch anything, finish dead last, and either embarrass myself or the companies I represent.
However, I am not one to get caught up in whether people laugh at me or not. In fact, I laugh at myself aplenty. Let's face it, you have to have thick skin and a sense of humor in just putting your life out in front of thousands of people in these words each week.
I watched the weather during the week leading into the tournament and realized it was going to be much more difficult than I originally thought even though we would be fishing on one of the state's premiere bass fisheries. The weekend was shaping to take a nose dive in temperature, and rain was likely going to set in early as well. Just enough to kill the bite. As if I needed more obstacles than the nearly 100 other competitors to contend with.
Having never fished the lake, I put in hour after hour of internet scouting. I read reports from forums dating back several years during the same monthly time periods to see what was used to catch the lunkers as well as what didn't work. I watched Youtube videos taking note in where they were fishing, how they were fishing, and what time of year they were fishing the lake. I scoured over Google Earth, Yahoo maps, and Navionics trying to determine the best locations for plan A, plan B, plan C, and so forth.
I set up four of my Denali rods with different lines and lures, ranging from top water plugs and chatter baits, to worms and plastics, and even my favorite, a Beetle-spin. My thought process was three small bass would likely out do one large one if the fishing become tough. Therefore the Beetle-spin may be my salvation, and I could try and upgrade from there.
After getting the launch word that morning, myself and 85 other kayak anglers began paddling to our plan A locations. My first target would be about a mile and a half down the lake and then work my way back towards the check in location throughout the day. I found a small cove that I was able to paddle into and hog from the other competitors and began making casts with a jitterbug. No luck. I switched to a large double spinner, only because I spotted a couple of bass in the cove breaking surface and tailing.
Second cast of the double spinner and I had a thump. Then another. Boom! I embedded the hook with a firm set but immediately realized this was a small fish, but one nonetheless. Another angler down the bank from me yelled "fish on!" and I noticed every one of the dozen or so kayakers turn my way to see what I was about to reel in.
It was a crappie. He was a nice size, but it was a crappie. One guy yelled over to me "how big?"
"It doesn't matter, it is a crappie. I'm not on the board"
And then the rain hit. I fished and fished and just didn't get a hit. I tried different lures, different techniques, and different depths with no luck. Then, while peppering a rock ledge near a bridge, the same double spinner I used on the crappie felt as though it went flat. I didn't have the pull of the spinners spinning any longer. As the lure breached the surface of the water I realized why.
Fish on! Or maybe it should be more like "fish on?"
I proceeded to pull a threadfin shad from his watery home with a hook over half his body length. A clean hook set too, not a snag or foul hook. I am still unsure how the barb of the hook was able to pass into his miniature mouth, but it did.
That would prove to be my last fish of the tournament.
If I existed in ancient and not-so-ancient Japan, I would likely have been sitting atop my kayak in wanderment, instead of wonderment. At least I would have been a great angler at some point in history.

"Take nothing but photographs, leave nothing but footprints."
At the centre of a sprawling one square mile site is a vast and imposing building. Founded in 1875 and popularly known as Greystone Park, the New Jersey State Hospital for the Insane makes for a striking sight.
Built to the Kirkbride plan, the austere architecture was once alive with the throng of workers and inmates. This was a 'self-contained city' with dozens of buildings including a fire station, post office, police station, a farm and myriad other clerical and recreational constructions. Now however, the corridors echo only to birdsong and the eerie whistle of the wind.
Thomas Story Kirkbride believed that the 'building was the cure' to mental illness and planned his structures accordingly, with staggered wings that allowed in as much sunlight and fresh air as possible and set them within large grounds—idealistic sanctuaries "away from the pollutants and hectic energy of urban centers". Kirkbride's philosophy was (thanks in part to the reformer Dorothy Dix's efforts) widely embraced and many asylums were constructed to his design. However, by the early 1900s new drug and psycho-analytical treatments emerged and these, coupled with the lack of funds, led many of the Kirkbride asylums to be closed, demolished or absorbed into new institutions.
Greystone was no exception.

Nathan was born and raised in Sydney having attended East Hills Tech High, graduating in 2000. During his time at school Nathan found a passion for golf, a sport he dedicated himself to and became successful at, being selected to represent Australia by the time he graduated high school. This great game afforded him many opportunities including a scholarship funded college education in America, travelling the world to play competitively and eventually turning professional in 2006.
Still a member of the Australian Professional Golfers Association, Nathan was able to apply his trade in teaching other elite athletes, working with them to achieve their goals. This has put him in good stead for his transition into real estate, helping people to achieve their own property goals with the best outcome in mind.
Looking for a more prosperous life for his wife and little girl, Nathan decided to make the move to Canberra where he is thoroughly enjoying the Nation's capital. Looking for a new challenge, he took the opportunity to transition into real estate, a field he has always had interest in, and has never looked back.

Are State- and Time-Dependent Models Really Different?
Fernando Alvarez, Francesco Lippi, Juan Passadore
Chapter in NBER book NBER Macroeconomics Annual 2016, Volume 31 (2017), Martin Eichenbaum and Jonathan A. Parker, editors (p. 379 - 457)
Yes, but only for large monetary shocks. In particular, we show that in a broad class of models where shocks have continuous paths, the propagation of a monetary impulse is independent of the nature of the sticky price friction when shocks are small. The propagation of large shocks instead depends on the nature of the friction: the impulse response of inflation to monetary shocks is independent of the shock size in time-dependent models, while it is non-linear in state-dependent models. We use data on exchange rate devaluations and inflation for a panel of countries over 1974-2014 to test for the presence of state dependent decision rules. We present some evidence of a non-linear effect of exchange rate changes on prices in a sample of flexible-exchange rate countries with low inflation. We discuss the dimensions in which this finding is robust and the ones in which it is not.This chapter is not currently available on-line.

As our time at Good Shepherd School has come to an end we are all reflecting on the earlier times. Some of us have been here since Kindergarten while others have joined more recently. No matter when we started to attend Good Shepherd, we have all become a close knit group of friends which is now like family. We have shared laughs, heartaches, and amazing memories together. Whether it was a casual conversation or an intense game of hockey in PE, we never fail to have fun. We have all had our ups and downs in friendships, school work, or even in our personal lives but we never fail to come back together again with the support of our teachers, family, and each other. As we, the graduating Class of 2019, are each embarking on our own journey we know that no matter what, we are a family.
Thank you Good Shepherd School

The Republican-controlled legislature also approved a bill that allows off-duty and retired law enforcement officers to carry concealed guns on school grounds.
Both bills have been sent to Governor Scott Walker, a potential Republican candidate for president in 2016. Walker plans to sign the bill repealing the 48-hour waiting period and will evaluate the school-carry bill when he receives it, the governor's office said on Tuesday.
Representative Romaine Quinn, a Republican supporter of the measure, said the waiting-period repeal bill simply allowed law-abiding citizens to take a gun home the day they purchase it.
"This is not about putting guns in the hands of criminals," Quinn said before the Assembly approved the bill on a voice vote. The state Senate approved the measure in April.
The state's current 40-year-old law requires a firearm dealer to wait 48 hours after a Wisconsin Department of Justice background check is completed before selling a handgun to a buyer.
That waiting period "could mean the difference between life and death," argued Democratic state Representative Lisa Subeck, saying the waiting period helped prevent suicide and domestic violence.
Also on Tuesday, both the Assembly and state Senate approved a bill to allow off-duty and retired law enforcement officers to carry concealed guns on school grounds.
Wisconsin state law currently prohibits the carrying of a firearm within 1,000 feet of a school.

I'm doing the Fifteen Day Challenge – click here to read original post and view the list of fifteen challenges.
I'm pretty much aware that I was supposed to do this daily – but life got in the way, so sorry.
Six years and some months ago, I felt the familiar wave of loneliness crashing in. But unlike the rapid torrential collision of a wave, loneliness tends to be in slow motion. It's like watching five minutes pass by but feels like an hour.
That known feeling is here again. I feel lonely.
I've been seeing the same guy for the past three years now. It was fun, most of the time, with hiccups here and there and until recently, late last year, was when the first real blow to the relationship was felt. This led to me talking to my mom and dad – two people I never talk to regarding relationships mainly because they were not able to keep theirs. My blueprint was a mess, and I've always blamed that whenever I see the flaws in the architecture of my relationships. Needless to say, their words of support and advice was a big help, and that was able to make me realize that what my boyfriend and I have going on is fixable. Three months after the break up, we got back together, and things are probably better than they were before.
Why am I lonely then? Eight million people in this metropolis, and being in a relationship – one would think I should be far from feeling alone. I wake up every morning in a bed devoid of companionship, a very bad start of a reminder of being alone. A 45-minute commute to work among strangers. An 8-hour day of pushing papers and staring at numbers. After work, I see my boyfriend briefly – because he has to meet someone, or got other plans, or just have to go home. He's substantially became my drug – those few hours of taking the edge off, but trying not to be totally dependent on it because it will be taken away from me shortly. Sic transit gloria mundi. Then I head back home again to a bed fit for one.
I wish the solution is easy: meet new friends, get in touch with old ones, live together with the boyfriend. Simple answers but they only relieve the symptoms of loneliness. And I finally found the reason why I feel alone: it's because I lost myself.
Close friends know me as someone who is very sure of my steps, someone confident with every action I make, someone positive with his every choice. This is what I lost, my self-assurance. I lost this when the walls I built over time around me came crashing down when I realized I was lied to, by many people, most of them I hold closest to me. It is bad enough I lost trust on people I love, but I also realize that I also cannot trust myself. I'd like to think that anyone who spent a lot of time reinforcing the fortresses around their hearts would agree with me that it's not easy to let someone in because we know what it was like when we were hurt before.
So that's where I stand – acknowledging the fact that I am a work-in-progress. I understand that I can still build a wall, but not forget a door might be needed.

We had a wonderful meeting in Manchester at the ACA New England conference. Just prior to our meeting Jeremy Plane of Camp Abnaki agreed to become the new secretary for Vermont Camping Association– we welcome him and thank him for taking on this position. Marnie McDonagh reported that we are doing well regarding our membership for this year and that "there is money in the bank." Items of new business included deciding to do some research on hiring a Legislative Monitor. Jon Kuypers has agreed to gather information before our Fall meeting when we might be ready to make a decision. This is the route several other New England states have taken to keep on top of legislation that might affect our camps. At the suggestion of our February speaker on marketing, Kat Hood has agreed to monitor the hits on our website and also create some links to other Vermont tourism sites. We also agreed to offer student memberships to VCA at a rate of $10.00 a year. They will be invited to meetings and will be able to connect to our members. This idea came in part from the major in camp management being offered at Green Mountain College under the direction of Thayer Raines and their club for majors.
For the first time in many years we presented three Service Awards and one Lifetime Award to members of VCA. Brandon Bergey was awarded a Service Award for his tireless work on our new website, Sandy Valine, outgoing VCA Secretary, was also thanked for her service to VCA, as was Jon Kuypers, past-president of VCA. Candice "Corc" Raines was honored with a Lifetime Award for her many, many years of dedicated work in marketing the VCA, first in print and now through her ongoing work maintaining our website, to say nothing of her fabulous hosting of our winter Board Meetings. We made clear that in receiving this award it in no way meant that we want or expect her to retire! We give our heartfelt thanks to all four of our award recipients- Congratulations!
We are looking forward to our next gathering in the Fall – Jon Hammond of Hosmer Point Camp has offered to host us in early October – we'll be in touch with the details later this spring so you can save the date.

Young Pigeons push TigersBy Yarrawonga Chronicle
Matching up against arch rivals Albury Tigers has been a hard task for the Yarrawonga Pigeons in recent years and having a side full of inexperienced young local boys made the task seem even more daunting.
But if there is something that football has taught us, there is nothing a young footballer likes more than a challenge.
With that in mind the boys took to the field with high hopes of upsetting the most physically imposing side in the league.
Albury however had other ideas. Right from the first siren the Tigers imposed their physical presence over the ball and used it with deadly accuracy.
Yarrawonga's forward line found themselves with few opportunities in the first quarter and when they arrived the shots on goal were continually under pressure.
The backline saw most of the ball and without Scott Oswald, Tim McCauley and Jess Koopman the first quarter could have been much worse.
The young Pigeons found themselves goalless and down by 27 points.
The second started with much more promise with big Dave O'Dwyer setting up Matt Casey for the team's first goal inside the first minute.
The experienced Tigers were however having none of it, responding with another three of their own. To make matters worse, young gun Mitch Collins-Bye left the field with a suspected broken collar bone and was done for the day.
Yarrawonga had lifted their intensity and were working hard all over the ground.
Xavier Leslie with his silky skills was trying hard to keep his side in the contest and this allowed Jess Koopman to sneak forward to post the home side's second goal, but Albury keen to snuff out any hint of resistance booted another three that left the home side down nearly 10 goals at the main break.
Despite the looming threat of this turning into a huge blowout, coach Sexton was positive with his charges.
He pleaded with his experienced players to lift, give direction and compete hard and for the youngsters to show the fight and determination that they promised they would bring.
With positional changes and the hope of the supporters, the Pigeons took the field again and didn't disappoint.
Yarrawonga's' backline really hit their straps. Bailey Frauenfelder and Jess Koopman provided plenty of run and drive from the backline and were being well supported with strong marking from Scott Oswald, Beau Seymour and Jake Wild.
Will Gorman used his pace to post the side's third and the move of the hard-working Ronan Pritchard to deep forward paid dividends with him kicking two brilliant goals in two minutes.
The side was lifting. Mark Whiley and Harry Wheeler had been busy all day and their determination to win the ball was showing.
At the final break the difference was still 51 points, but it felt as though there had been a shift in momentum.
The question was could the Pigeons make the most of it? The answer was yes.
The answer came in the form of young gun Matt Casey.
With Yarrawonga's midfield winning the ball from the bounce Matt Casey made the most of his opportunities.
His second goal of the game came inside the first minute. This was quickly followed by one from mid field dynamo Harry Wheeler and the side was up and about.
Casey then slotted the next three goals unanswered and things were getting interesting.
Tim McCauley's physical presence around the ball had Albury second guessing their commitment and youngster's Ned Mullins and Jack Sexton were providing lots of drive via the wings.
When Wheeler kicked his second and the now unstoppable Matt Casey took his quarter total to six goals, the home side looked as though they might just pull off the impossible.
Albury clearly worried, threw all their firepower into the centre of the ground to try and combat the rampaging Pigeons.
Unfortunately, this did the trick for them.
Albury steadied with the final two goals of the game to run out winners by 35 points but not before the home side showed that with the right frame of mind they can match it with the best in the league.
Yarrawonga 7.7.49 defeated by Albury 7.11.53.
The run of close wins, finally came to an end on Saturday as the Yarrawonga 2nd 18 succumbed to ladder leaders, Albury Tigers for their first loss of the season by 4 points.
It was a physical game of one on one football that was tight from start to finish.
Tennyson Vance played a selfless game managing to hold the league's leading goal kicker to just one goal.
Joe Gorman, who was matched against the 2018 league best and fairest, played an inspired game taking marks around the ground and giving Yarrawonga first look at the ball from the centre bounces.
Josh Tonna continued his excellent form. His courage in the air and closing speed to spoil, were a delight to watch.
Old stages Ross Mulquiney and Matthew Dwyer both played excellent games accumulating plenty of the ball each.
However, it was not enough as time ran out before Yarrawonga could take the lead.
Hopefully the Yarrawonga team are able to take some valuable lessons from the game that they can use as inspiration for the remainder of the year.
Goals: Yarrawonga: Marcus McMillan 3, Christopher Wilson 1, Timothy Lawrence 1, Marcus Hargreaves 1, William (RS) Woodburn 1.
Albury: Cooper Boyle 2, Benjamin McIntosh 1, Mitchell Scott 1, Kolby Heiner-Hennessy 1, Jackson Carmody 1, Eddy Ziebarth 1.
Best: Yarrawonga: Tennyson Vance, Ross Mulquiney, Joseph Gorman, Joshua Tonna, Matthew Dwyer, Corben Wiles.
Albury: Cooper Boyle, Austin Shepherd, Adam Martin, Alex Rowe, Callum Brooksby, William Haberecht.
Yarrawonga 9.4.58 defeated Albury 6.6.42.
After a strong first half of football the 3rd XVIII were challenged late in the third and early in the last before settling and effecting a solid win.
Following a few weeks on the last line Jordyn Studd relished the chance to play further afield with a solid performance.
Deeper back Henry Lonergan, Tylar Hemphill, Harry Meade and Brandon Fitzpatrick were outstanding in keeping Albury to six goals.
Up forward Sam Mickelson with a mild man flu, stayed closer to goal and finished with 5 majors. Through the mid zone the U16 trio of Pendergast, Smith and Wallden played strong games.
At times the 3rd XVIII running core looked like they might grab hold of the game but never quite did and is worth noting Albury won the second half by 6 points.
At the turnaround: 7 wins: 1 loss: 1 draw is a good start but the season rolls on and the most important game is the next.
Awards: Yarrawonga Hotel- J Studd, Wingates - T Hemphill.
Goals: Yarrawonga: Sam Mickelson 5, Austin Frauenfelder 2, Ned Pendergast 1, Hayden Cartwright 1.
Albury: Benjamin Browning 2, Kyle Cooper 1, Noah Heywood 1, Nicholas Ferguson 1, William Unthank 1.
Best: Yarrawonga: Jordyn Studd, Tylar Hemphill, Henry Lonergan, Sam Mickelson, Ned Pendergast, Harrison Meade.
Albury: Ethan Moore, Nicholas Ferguson, Benjamin Browning, Oscar Hayes, Austin Longfield, Brayden McMenamin.
