Vaccination: The preventive medicine. Creating immunity and fighting disease.
Our immune system functions to prevent the infections that cause illness. It protects us from the things that enter our body that don't belong there, such as disease germs like viruses or bacteria. When viruses or bacteria invade the body, they attack and multiply. This invasion is called an infection. The immune system recognizes these intruders as foreign or 'non-self', and produces proteins called antibodies to fight them. Think of antibodies as the soldiers of the immune system.
Immunity memory
The immune system does more than find and destroy these disease germs. It also remembers them. If the same germs enter the body again, the immune system quickly dispatches antibody troops to destroy them before they can make you sick. This is why someone who contracts a disease like measles or chickenpox can be exposed to it many times without catching it again.
However, there is one issue with this system: the first time a person is exposed to a disease, the immune system can't create antibodies quickly enough to prevent illness. It will eventually fight off the infection, and provide future immunity from the same disease. But it doesn't prevent the disease the first time. The danger with that is that some illnesses can have profound complications and may even be fatal, so vaccination becomes a crucial way of prevention.
Vaccination as prevention
Vaccination is a crucial means of disease prevention by which an individual can develop immunity without getting sick first. Vaccines contain the same germs that cause disease. But the disease germs in the vaccine have either been killed, are only a part of the disease germ, or are weakened to the point that they cannot cause illness.
Vaccines help develop immunity by imitating an infection. When an individual is vaccinated, the vaccine stimulates the immune system to produce antibody troops, exactly as it would if it were exposed to the disease. But the 'imitation infection' does not cause illness. It may cause minor symptoms, such as fever, but this is normal, and should be expected as the body builds immunity.
A powerful medicine
Vaccines are extremely efficient in the fight against infection. Most vaccines produce immunity around 90 -100% of the time. A good example is the human papilloma virus vaccine which has an efficacy rate of 96.7%.
Human papilloma virus (HPV) is one of the most common sexually transmitted infections. Three out of four sexually active people will get HPV at some point in their lives. Most carriers show no signs or symptoms and can pass the virus on to others without knowing it. Most HPV infections will clear on their own, but for some, the cells infected with the virus can become cancerous over time.
Each year in Canada, approximately:
- 1,400 women will get cervical cancer & 400 will die from the disease
- 229,000 women will develop precancerous changes to the cervix
- 436 women will get vulvar or vaginal cancer & 128 will die from the disease
- 36,000 people will develop genital warts
The great news is that we have excellent vaccines that provide very good protection against HPV. Gardasil 9 is the newest vaccine against HPV and it provides protection against 9 different types of the virus (while previous vaccines covered 2 or 4 types only). Gardasil 9 protects against approximately 90% of cervical cancers and 90% of genital warts.
The HPV vaccine is recommended for:
- Females 9 to 45 years of age
- Males 9 to 26 years of age
- Males 27 years of age and older who have sex with males
Unlike women, men rarely develop antibodies to natural infection, at least not at a high enough level to provide protection. So young men should consider having vaccines that stimulates rigorous antibody production.
One still needs to keep in mind that because even the new vaccine does not protect against 100% of cancers, paps will still be necessary.
Most medicines treat or cure diseases. Vaccines actually prevent them. This is what makes vaccination such a powerful medicine in the fight against disease.

Have you ever been really broke and started remembering all the times you spent money anyhow?
Have you ever wondered how much money you've spent on food? Or clothes? Or novels? Or partaysss?
Have you ever been hungry and thought about all the times you wasted food?
Do you know what takes most of you money each month?
Money Problems
The problem is that we don't have a way to actually track our expenses and it's only when we've run out of money that we try to reflect on our spending habits. Even when we do, we cannot know for sure if we did well or not.
While some people are good at keeping these records manually, most of us aren't(yes, I'm one of them). We need somthing to track it for us and automatically supply the data when it is needed.
How much easier my budgeting will be! How smooth plans will go!
The Solution
This app tracks all the activities on your bank account.
It will sync with mobile money platforms to pull as much money data as possible. As more transactions become digital, it becomes easier to contain all useful data.
See all your spending habits displayed in easy to understand charts. Know what you need to change and what you need to continue. Become the master of you finances.
Create budgets and be forced to keep to it. How? This app will suspend your bank account if you go beyond the budget. It will only be opened if you get approval from your Control Individual.
Set up standing orders for repititive payments. Do you subscribe every month, or pay utility bills? Never worry about that again.
Save automatically!!! Set up a percentage of your spending that will be saved. Each time you spend, it silently deducts this amount. Until you desperately need it(also confirmed by your Control Individual), you will not have access to those funds.
Caution: Do not set the Control Individual as your current boyfriend/girlfriend. If you break up your money don go oooo!!!!
First, the app has to come from someone with stake in the money game. Ideally, this will be a bank.
However, it will be difficult to make this reach everyone cause each bank will then create rival apps instead of collaborating.
So instead, the app can work with a cross payment system such as the goverment approved Remita. It will also help foster mobile payments by creating an easy to access mobile payments solution that works across all banks.
How will the app make money? By gathering data. The app will use the data generated from thousands of users to gain insight into the general spending habits of the population.
This data can be viewed according to demographics. This data will be sold to consumer focused businesses for them to forge better product strategies.
The data can also be used by the government to know what truly drives the economy.
This is my idea for the day. What you think?
COOL or CRAP?

Introduction: Using the HY1803D Power Supply
The HY1803D is a reasonably priced power supply that will provide suitable power for many low-power electronics projects. From the manual, the specifications are:
Voltage Output: 0 V-18 V DC ± 1% in increments of centivolts (0.01 V)
Current Output: 0A - 3A ± 2% in increments of centiamps (0.01 A)
Operating Environment: -32 - 104 °F, relative humidity < 90%
Please note: this guide will use the term "Current knob" to refer to the "Coarse adjustment of current " and "Voltage knob" to refer to the "Coarse adjustment of output voltage " depicted in the second image.
Step 1: Plug It In
Plug in the power supply. It requires:
104-127 VAC at 60 Hz
207-253 VAC at 50 Hz
North America main power is 120 VAC, 60 Hz
Step 2: Constant Voltage Mode
To output a constant voltage, first turn the Current knob clockwise until it stops. Turn on the supply, and use the Voltage knob to the desired level. Attach the load to the output terminals. The red terminal is positive, and the black terminal is ground. NOTE: THE SUPPLY IS NOT PRESENTLY IN CURRENT LIMITED MODE. BE CAREFUL YOU DO NOT DAMAGE YOUR ELECTRONICS! THE SUPPLY CAN OUTPUT A MAXIMUM OF 3A.
Step 3: Constant Current Mode
To turn the supply into an adjustable current supply, FIRST ENSURE IT IS OFF. Turn the Voltage knob completely clockwise until it stops. This is the maximum voltage setting. Turn the current knob completely counter-clockwise until it stops. This is the minimum current setting.
Turn on the supply, and attach the load to the output terminals.The red terminal is positive, and the black terminal is ground. Slowly adjust the Current knob by turning it clockwise to the desired level.
Step 4: Enable the Current Limit
This mode is very useful for protecting delicate electronics such as ICs, PCBs, and the like.
FIRST MAKE SURE NO LOAD IS ATTACHED, and turn on the supply. Turn the Current knob counter-clockwise until it stops. This is the minimum current position. Turn the Voltage knob the the desired voltage output
Attach the load to the output terminals (red is positive, black is ground). SLOWLY turn the Current knob to the desired current limit.
NOTICE: In the event of a short circuit at the output, the current will limit at the value set by the Current knob. However, the unit should be turned off and the short circuit removed before continuing use.

Essence have two new collections out at the moment, a birthday collection and a colour correcting collection. I always like to check out their limited edition collections, they come out with some really wonderful products that sell out very quickly.
I picked up a few pieces from their regular range as well as both new collections.
The birthday collection contains the most awesome four and eight pan palettes with sprinkles in the lid, so cool. I really wanted to buy both the four and eight pan palettes but only bought the four pan as I think I'll use it more. I'm seriously considering getting the eight pan as well, then I could depot some of my MAC eyeshadows. The sprinkles move around the top of the palette, giving me hours of entertainment, haha.
The live, laugh celebrate products are both for the lips. They bright pink one is a lip powder and the light pink is a lip base. The two eye shadows are from their regular range and the little beauty angels colour correcting balls are from the colour correcting range (as you probably guessed).

Renault's R-Sound Effect consists of six synthesized engine sounds played in real time by the vehicle's audio system with high reactivity to the driver's commands. R-Sound Effect is sold to the clients as an "app" on R-link store on the web.
The purpose is to provide a fun experience by changing the engine sound and not to give the perfect illusion of a new engine.
Noise pollution on the outside is avoided as the sound is only played inside the car. The intended effect is reached from low rpm / speeds, so the driver is not incited to change their habits or to drive like a race pilot.
The tuning and the choice of sounds correspond to a consensus between vehicle project managers, mechanical engineers, acoustics experts and design teams. Three methods were used to obtain effective sounds:
- Imitation of existing vehicles such as Clio V6
- Generic harmonics distribution corresponding to engine architectures such as 2- or 6-cylinders
- Pure invention such as a futuristic UFO sound.
The last step was to choose pictures associated with each sound. The range of possibilities for sound/picture association was found to be wider than imagined at the beginning.
Conference proceedings and magazines are sent by post contrary to the PDF files, which can be downloaded as soon as the payment is completed.

Mara Broke her Silence for this Message
It's been a heart-heavy week in the world of entertainment as Robin Williams' endless celebrity friends have been mourning the late, great comedian who committed suicide last Monday. Mara Wilson, Williams' young costar from the iconic Mrs. Doubtfire, tweeted that she would be taking a break from social media to properly process the loss of Williams, but on Tuesday she had a slight change of heart: Wilson wrote this poignant blog post on her personal Tumblr commemorating her experience working with Williams on the set of Mrs. Doubtfire and their relationship as she became an adult. On his boundless creativity, she recalls:
He was a creator as much as a performer. After one of my friends posted Robin's "impression of a hot dog" on Facebook, I realized she had no idea that wasn't in the script. It was supposed to be a monologue where he listed every voice he could do, but he decided to take the ones he'd been given, add more of his own, and just riff for a while. Chris Columbus, our director, would let Robin perform one or two takes with what was written, then do as many more takes as Robin had variations. Sometimes I wonder why they didn't give him at least partial screenwriting credit.
Wilson remembers Williams as a beacon for children, stopping at nothing to make them smile and feel at ease. But she remembers that as she grew older, she noticed what her mother had once noticed: that when he wasn't exuberantly performing, he was reserved, held back, shy — but still extremely genuine:
As of this past Monday, Robin and I had not spoken in a few years. We weren't on bad terms, we had just lost track of each other. He was working in films still, I was not anymore, he still lived in California, I'd moved probably nine times since I last had his contact information. The last time I saw him, I was a freshman at NYU and he was filming August Rush in Washington Square Park. I went up to him while he was walking away from the set to his trailer, and called his name. He turned around, not sure what to make of the girl in the glasses and NYU hoodie calling him like she knew him.
"It's me!" I said. "It's Mara."
"Oh, Mara!" He told me how grown up I looked and asked how I liked NYU. It was small talk, but something about the way Robin looked at me made it feel like he truly cared. This was someone for whom everything mattered.
Wilson's blog posts hits on what so many have tried to express in the wake of Williams' death: he was a generational father, providing for all kids that grew up with his movies the kind of care and comfort that seemed impossible to transmit through a screen, and yet he did it. Somehow he made us feel like we weren't alone. He became a surrogate for any child that watched his movies: it seemed like he was talking directly to all those kids that felt like they were a little lost, a little out of place, or just needed someone to make them laugh. As Wilson adorably and heartbreakingly said in Mrs. Doubtfire:
More importantly, Wilson's beautiful post reminds that we should by no means romanticize the tragedy of suicide, and if there's anything to be learned from Williams' death, it's that depression and mental illness need to be better understood. And Williams should not be known as his illness — no one with mental illness should be reduced to a diagnosis: "To focus on someone's pain instead of their accomplishments is an insult to them. As my friend Patrick put it, a person is a person first and a story second."
She reminds us to reach out to those you love, because you never know who among your loved ones are struggling. You can read the rest of her post here.

First, think of the game nights that you can have with a video wall in your home. You and your buddies can play video games on a screen that makes the action truly immersive and will make your game nights the most popular if not in your city then definitely in your neighborhood. Even if you are alone, your gaming experience will surely be at a higher level.
Next, movie night. Family movie nights watching the latest Hollywood blockbusters or even a more highbrow art-house film will be an experience like going to the cinema, with crisp visuals and immersive sound if you invest in speakers and perhaps surround sound. You won't even need popcorn, as the wow factor of the screen size and visual presence will keep you interested.
Next, your home office. As we have said, those in the world of business have long used video walls. They can facilitate team working, as you and your team will be able to work on a project whilst tracking any changes and ideas on the screen in real time, and the interactive elements of a video can be utilized to improve your business's performance. Having one of these in your home office will also send out the right message to your business competitors.
Of course this is not an extensive list of ways in which you can use a video wall in your home. You probably have other ideas. After all it is your home, not ours!

Ero Copper provides operational update regarding the ongoing truck drivers' strike in Brazil
/EIN News/ -- VANCOUVER, British Columbia, May 29, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Ero Copper Corp. (the "Company") (TSX:ERO) informs that the Company is actively monitoring the ongoing truck drivers' strike in Brazil. To date, there has been no material impact on the Company's operations or its copper production. The Company has contingency plans in place to mitigate impacts the strike might have on copper production.
The Company will provide further updates if the strike is prolonged and the contingency plans change such that copper production is likely to be materially impacted.
Ero Copper Corp, headquartered in Vancouver, B.C., is focused on copper production growth from the Vale do Curaçá Property, located in Bahia, Brazil. The Company's primary asset is a 99.6% interest in the Brazilian copper mining company, Mineração Caraíba S.A. ("MCSA"), 100% owner of the Vale do Curaçá Property with over 37 years of operating history in the region. The Company currently mines copper ore from the Pilar underground and the Surubim open pit mines. In addition to the Vale do Curaçá Property, MCSA owns 100% of the Boa Esperanҫa development project, an IOCG-type copper project located in Pará, Brazil. Additional information on the Company and its operations, including Technical Reports on both the Vale do Curaçá and Boa Esperanҫa properties, can be found on the Company's website (www.erocopper.com) and on SEDAR (www.sedar.com).

text: Maurice 269 Report post Posted April 3, 2010 As most of you probably already know, FUNimation may be discontinuing Case Closed (the US franchise) after Season 5! It seems that they are not getting the results they were expecting and may be giving up for good on the series. See Napshot64's post for further details. For that reason, I've added a new section called "Shop". This will not only allow you to show your support to the series by buying books, dvds and more but will also be a great way to start building your very own personal DC collection of, well, anything or everything! The section is also very well categorized to make the experience as pleasant and easy as possible. And if you would like to see more categories (or items), feel free to let us know. As always, feedback is most welcome! Another interesting thing is that a very small commission will be given to DCW for each item that you buy. If you can't donate, this would be a great way to support the site and help pay the bills! And who knows, maybe on the long term, we'll be able to move the site to an actual dedicated server that would be much faster and provide more possibilities and features! More details on the Support page. Therefore, it's a win-win-win situation. Win for the producers and licensees, Win for DCW and Win for you! Let's show our support to the Case Closed franchise! It would be sad to lose the English version of the series. It's always great to have a variety of versions that only constitute an enrichment to the experience and make the series much more accessible to people from all around the world who have yet to discover the wonderful world of Detective Conan! Thank you! And as usual, ideas and suggestions are welcome! Maurice Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Childhood Obesity Strategy
Fit For Sport, the UK's leaders in educating and engaging children through physical activity, fully support the government's recent childhood obesity strategy and we will continue to strive towards inspiring every child to engage in at least 60 minutes of physical activity each and every day. Click here to read our response to the Childhood Obesity Strategy.
Healthy Active Schools System
One of the suggestions outlined in the recent strategy is that schools should be encouraging children to participate in a minimum of 30 minutes of activity during the school day.
We at Fit For Sport have launched a ground-breaking online platform for schools to use in order to be able to monitor, track and improve children's activity levels which will undoubtedly be key for schools to ensure that their pupils are participating in 30 minutes of activity a day.
The Healthy Active Schools System is a free tool that can now be used by all schools and it will ensure that children are actively engaging in more exercise more often.
The chief medical guidelines state that everyone should be taking part in at least 60 minutes of physical activity a day and whilst the new government strategy states that schools should be responsible for 30 minutes, it also states that parents and guardians should be supporting with the remaining 30 minutes outside of school time.
HASS can also assist here as it provides schools with free resources that they can then show to parents who can, in turn then implement at home.
HASS is a revolutionary system which doesn't cost a penny for schools to use but we have consistently shown that driving children to be more physically active doesn't have to be a costly process.
Engage To Compete
Our Engage To Compete project that launched last year proved that schools can ensure children are participating in more physical activity on a regular basis for little or even no additional cost. The Sport-England funded programme engaged more than 15,000 school children in over 700 schools nationwide in regular activity to which the schools reported a substantial improvement in children's behaviour and concentration levels, as well as reductions in staff time spent dealing with incidents from the playground.
Generally, the majority of Primary Schools will only have two PE lessons per week, therefore break and lunch should be the crucial time for kids to be enjoying some active fun. This sustainable programme upskilled lunchtime assistants and other school staff to deliver sessions for less than £11 per child and pointed to a number of other cost-effective activity programmes available to educators.
Physical literacy
Fit For Sport have been dedicated to engaging and educating children in regular physical activity for over 25 years as we truly believe that embedding daily activity from an early age will encourage us to stay active for life. Physical literacy is a form of education that should be a part of every child's learning and will be key in our united fight against childhood obesity.
Below are some shocking statistics that came from our Activity Challenge (a fun & interactive way for parents/guardians to test children's physical literacy and fitness, including stamina, agility and coordination).
At Fit For Sport we all share the same passion and commitment to improving the activity levels of children in the UK and although other issues such as unhealthy eating and the rise of modern technology, the crux of the problem lies in severe inactivity amongst the younger generation.
Activity Camps and School Services
That is exactly why we run an all year round service which aims to get as many children as possible achieving the chief medical guidelines of 60 minutes of activity a day. Initially, CEO and Founder, Dean Horridge, began Fit For Sport by hosting activity camps on weekends and during the school holidays, today, the company runs over 100 Activity Camps nationwide.
In addition, we also run our renowned Extended School services in 85 primary schools up and down the country to ensure that children are being kept active during term time as well.
For more information on our services visit www.fitforsport.co.uk or phone our friendly customer service team on 0845 456 3233.

Do not look at me through your open window.
Do not gaze upon my flesh.
How many lions, before you, wish to eat me?
Surely do you jest?
Occupy the chair you coward,
Show to me your true face.
But I only need a mirror
A self portrait in its place.
An empty chair,
And on the stairs,
The man who wasn't there.
You weren't there again today,
Maybe someday
That will change.
Perhaps someday you'll go away.

BILLINGS — Danielle Zahn got an early glimpse of her new home and a look at her future college basketball teammates.
The Florence product and Montana State Billings basketball signee liked what she saw, too.
One of five future Yellowjackets who started for Montana Friday night in the Midland Roundtable All-Star basketball series against Wyoming, Zahn helped the Treasure State extend its six-game winning streak with an 84-66 victory over Wyoming at MSUB's Alterowitz Gymnasium.
Zahn, along with Billings West's Shayla Montague, TyLee and TyRaa Manuel, and Kalispell Glacier's Kali Gulick, comprised the starting five for Montana coach Wes Keller. He separated his 10 players into two units and subbed a full group at a time.
While it might seem convenient to have the five MSUB recruits play on the same unit, Keller, who coaches the women's basketball team at Rocky Mountain College, said there was more to it than that.
"When you look at your all-star team and see what you've got, by position it just kind of worked out that way and we decided to go with it," he said.
Whatever the reason, Zahn was grateful for the opportunity to get the early court time with her future Jackets. It was also the first time a girls game in the series was held on the MSUB campus.
"I think it's a great experience, and I think it's a good way for us to come together before the (2019-2020) season," Zahn said. "I think it will actually prepare us even more."
Froid-Medicine Lake's MacKenzie Dethman led a balanced Montana attack with 14 points. Four other players scored in double figures: TyRaa Manuel had 12, Kyle Olson of Three Forks 11, and Helena Capital's Sydney Sheridan and Zahn each had 10.
Madison Miller of Thunder Basin led Wyoming with 24 points.
Montana's MSUB contingent provided an 11-0 run after Miller hit a 3-pointer to start the second half to get her team within four. By the time Montana's other five-player group added a 13-6 run, the Treasure State had a 63-41 lead, which would be the biggest of the game.
Montana led 39-32 at the half.
"I think that was pretty deflating for our girls, that (11-0) run," said Wyoming coach Ryan Davis, who also coaches at Sheridan College. "Took us a minute or two or three to get out of that lull, that first punch they gave us. But I really thought our girls did play hard."
Davis said there are a couple things he needs to tweak when the series switches to Sheridan, Wyoming, Saturday night. Likely a bigger factor, though, will be his team's depth. For a variety of reasons, the Wyoming roster has just eight players this year instead of the usual 10.
"Yeah, that's tough, but it is what it is," he said. "We just have to move forward and see what we can do."
Zahn was the energizer for the Montana crew. The 5-foot-5 guard always looked to push the ball up the floor and was constantly high-fiving and encouraging teammates. She scored all 10 of her points in the second half as she began to exert herself and her style of play.
"I feel like if you seclude yourself from the team, I don't think it's very team-worthy, you know what I mean?" she said. "I think it's very important to be a great teammate as well as a great leader. And, I'm just having fun."
Montana extended its lead to 32-13 in the series, which began in 1997. The Cowboy State's last win came in 2016.
"(Saturday) it's going to be even more important that we set the tone early," Keller said. "Take care of the basketball … you know, they're physical and they played hard, they're a very good basketball team. I told our ladies enjoy it tonight and then tomorrow you're going to have a battle on your hands and you better be ready to go."

Staff Profile: Cindy Brooks
Tuesday, September 04, 2018
How long have you lived in Skagit County?
One year.
What is your favorite thing to do or eat?
Both, like eating huckleberries along the trail while hiking.
What can you suggest for someone new or familiar to Skagit County to try?
Slow down and look around, get outside, visit the parks, like Howard Miller Steelhead Park, the Cascade Trail, or Kukutali Reserve.
What were you doing before you started working for EDASC?
Finishing an MBA in Sustainable Systems.
Why is economic development important for you?
I've owned and run small businesses most of my adult life. Through this experience I've come to understand that the entrepreneurial mindset is critical to cultivating vibrant communities that evolve in changing times. Conscious economic development can foster community resilience through programs designed to assist and retain a diversity of local, small businesses. Engaged small businesses, providing goods and services that are relevant in the unique landscape of place can create meaningful work and contribute to the quality of life many people seek.
What drew you to work in economic development?
I grew up in Seattle during decades of urban sprawl. Many small, urban, wild places I played in as a child disappeared under pavement as strip malls were built. I've long had curiosity about how humans can see themselves as a part of natural systems and sustain life and vitality while creating livelihoods, rather than considering ourselves separate from our environment and using commons as a place from which to extract resources or manage for our benefit. What would it be like to co-evolve with nature rather swing between the two poles, heavy use and protection?
How have you seen the county change since you moved here / started working for EDASC?
Although new to Skagit County, I have lived in counties nearby. In Skagit I have heard discussions concerning the value of shoreline for carbon sequestration, which I have not heard other places.
Also, I've witnessed generosity and healing at the ceremony for the sculpture installation Valley of Our Spirits in downtown Mt Vernon. The piece, according to Jay Bowen, is intended to be a working piece of medicine, bringing unity between people in our Skagit Valley ecosystem. I visit the installation regularly.
How do you see the county changing in the next ten years?
I anticipate the need for greater public/private collaboration and sharing of resources to adapting to changes in climate and the economy. Key issues like affordable housing will demand that we be innovative, flexible and entrepreneurial.
What have you learned about EDASC or the county that has surprised you?
I've experienced the spirit of collaboration, and sincere friendliness from Skagit residents. EDASC inhabits a field of support orgs that provide great value for the health and quality of life on people in the county. I look forward to learning how to work better together.
What are your day-to-day activities?
I provide free business advising for small businesses.
What successes have you seen in Skagit County?
Interesting business concepts taking root in service, food and agriculture, retail, maritime, technology and health! I've also observed interest in developing an entrepreneurial ecosystem such that our community can access resources easily, find capital and connect with each other around building a network of place based businesses that support the Skagit community.

Warnings of a 'red tide' sound like 1950s anti-Communist propaganda. But the dangers to human health posed by explosions of tiny marine plants that bear this name are very real. Fuelled by sunlight and nutrient-rich waters, rapidly multiplying algae can leave swathes of open water the colour of blood. Added to environmental damage, the powerful poisons produced by red tides present serious health risks, such as respiratory problems and food poisoning. They can end up on your plate via contaminated seafood and can even kill inquisitive people who stray too close to the water. Although these events occur naturally, warmer oceans may be partly responsible for the increasing frequency of these events. Climate modelling predicts that harmful algal blooms off the northern European and East Asian coasts are set to get even worse by 2100.

Spanish artist Fer MG was kind enough to answer a few questions for us. We hope you find our little chat pleasant and hopefully we can spread the growing work of this talent artist.
1# Thanks for taking the time to speak with The Toy Chronicle. First up, tell us all about you! Who are you? And what are your backgrounds?
Hi, thanks you for the coverage! I'm Fer Mogica aka Fer MG, musician and graphic designer from Madrid, Spain.
My backgrounds in the toy world are quite peculiar because I consider myself mainly a musician who also loves plastic arts and enjoys making and customising toys. As guitarist I've played in rock and pop bands and recorded an album with Sony Music Spain, and as designer currently I work in my own project 'FM Art Studio', focused in designer toys, sculpture and other artistic projects.
Painting and sculpture always has been just a hobby, and when I've joined them into the art toys, that hobby has turned into a job thanks to the support of collectors, exhibitors and blogs like TTC. Thank you guys, your support is really important to make known new blood. In my case 'old new blood' haha.
2# You are no doubt one of the hardest working artist today. You started off doing tequila customs and then proceeded to working on Dunnys, is that correct? What is your favourite platform to work on?
I started in 2015 customising Kidrobot Dunnys and Munnys with leds, but currently my favourite platform to work on is Tequila Muttpop cause have a lot character perfect to capture the essence of monsters, superheroes, robots… After those first Kidrobot customs I customized Spiki (Kuso Vinyl) and Space Crab (Wheaty Wheat) platforms for Martian Toys.
In that first year it was very important the support of exhibitors like Martian Toys or Art Toy Gama showing my customs on conventions like New York Comic Con or Designer Con. I had the incredible luck of win the 2nd place of the 'Space Crab Wars' contest at Dcon 2015, this rookie could not believe to be one of the five winners beside amazing artists like Map-Map, Daniel Fleres, Frank Montano and Michal Mizsta :O That award pushed me to go ahead and keep improving, and also some collectors began to ask for commissions 🙂
From there I started to customize lot of platforms like Gas Line (Vinyl Scape) Evo Lucio (Veneno Toys) Kidzilla (Wetworks) Stormtrooper helmet (Lucas Ltd) Raffy, Labbit, Trikky (Kidrobot) Android (Andrew Bel) Boozi (Wickedmastermind) or Tequila (Muttpop), surely the platform in which I work more besides Kidrobot, maybe because its size and appearance is perfect for shows. I have to admit that I'm hooked on that fucking Tequila toy hahaha.
3# We can tell that you have lot of popular culture influences, like the hulk, wolverine, hellboy, Manzinger Z and more. What inspires you to create toys?
From childhood I gobbled sci-fi films, tv series and comics about superheroes (Marvel, DC comics, Dark Horse comics) about robots (Mazinger, Transformers, Iron Giant, Terminator, Robocop…) and about horror, monsters or aliens (Frankenstein, Freddy Krueger, Jason, Alien, Predator…) I could mention a huge list of childhood memories and characters that have undoubtedly inspired my work.
Other themes that appeal me are skulls, zombies, halloween, blood… but don't be afraid ha on the other hand also I'm a fan of fine clean designer toys like Coarse, Luke Chue, Kaws or Tim Tsui.
All those influences are reflected in lot of my toys, but I'm fundamentally an open mind to very different
styles and trends however different they may be, I try don't limit myself to any technique or influence.
Maybe that's why I do from 'dirty-rusty-creepy-angry' toys to 'clean-pop- cute-happy' toys 😀 I like both
worlds and many of my toys have two different faces, so I can join in each side two ideas into the same toy.
4# Do you have favourite artists?
I have weakness for Mark Landwehr (Coarse) and I'm currently in love with Fool Paradise, their
Batman/Superman figures are really insane.
5# What do you think of the current toy scene. Is it expanding? In what way?
I'm really a newcomer in the scene but I'm optimistic, I think the toy scene is growing in popularity and acceptance in the mainstream, and besides the big vinyl toy manufacturers there is a way of more and more self-produced resin toys, much more affordable and fast than the vinyl for the "independent small artists" who want to do their own toy production. Allows more people to produce more and at faster pace, you can have a big quality resin run in a week instead of waiting months to have a vinyl production.
I also believe that it is necessary to educate some collectors to realize the value of the work and time required by independent artists to do handmade toys, and convince them that small runs of self-produced resin toys obviously cannot have the same price as big vinyl manufacturers productions. By the way, I hate Funko POP haha ;D.
6# Do you have a favourite brand of toys?
I like DaTeamBronx, Munky King, Medicom… and undoubtedly the most requested brand of collectors for my commissions is Kidrobot, especially the Dunny platform with 4 different sizes now. It cannot be denny that Kidrobot was a revolution especially in the custom world with their blanks, and it's success with the main audience has helped to grow the toy scene..
7# We know that you are also a musician. So you are a creative person per nature? Does music influence your way of working?
Yeah, I could define myself essentially as a curious and creative person who enjoys experimenting with
different artistic facets like music, painting, sculpture, designer toys… I think I would have been very happy in the Renaissance period ha.
Music influence my way of working cause I always work with music, when I listen hard rock the result is
'creepy angry toys' and when I listen pop ballads the result is 'cute happy toys' 😛 hahaha No, talking
seriously, I think there may be a parallelism between my way of playing music and making toys, as musician.
I'm eclectic, I like many genres and I play many different styles, from "heavy-distortion-dirty" guitars to "pop-happy-clean" guitars. In the toy world I do the same, as I said in a previous question I'm open to many different styles and trends and I try not to focus only in a single technique or influence.
8# Recently you release your first resin toy! How did you feel working with casts and resin?
Really I made another resin toy before called "Pepe", a mini-bull toy platform inspired on my spanish
heritage and culture. But I quickly started to make customs for commissions and Cons, and I had not time to make more resins until last Christmas, when I released the 'happy fingers series'
Currently making customs on an existing platform allows me to produce at faster rate, however making my own toy from zero takes longer, I have to close commissions list and income decreases. Many artists have to debate between doing elaborated expensive works that really love or have incomes ('fast shit'commissions) hahaha. I hope that in the future I can focus on doing fewer jobs but only high quality.
I want to do more resin pieces, very soon I´m going to release a little resin run of 5 pieces, the 'happy fingers family edition'. Until now I have tried to make easy resin pieces with simple shapes, easy to clone, but this year I'll be able to make more elaborated resin series, I'm improving my resin and silicone casts technique.
9# Lately you've experimenting with 'dunnysculptures' can we expect that style in other platforms?
I like to make abstract sculptures, in fact, I have a only sculptures section on my website www.fmstudio.es. One of the 'things to do' in my 'toys list' was make 'toysculptures' mixing abstract sculptures with toys.
T.E.D. (twisted ears dunny) is the first of a dunnysculptures series, and yes, I want make more toy sculptures in other platforms, maybe could be one of the significant features of Fer MG in the future, who knows 😉
10# Do you think you've found your FER MG style?
Yeah, my style is the 'multi-style' hahaha It´s eclectic, composed of diverse influences and techniques. I'm a curious person who likes investigate and experiment new things, and art is partly about that. I still have many things to do in the toy world, it's only my 2nd year and I want continue playing and having fun with many different styles. I have a huge list of different 'toys-ideas' in my phone, and I have to do them all ha. Surely in a few years I will focus on two or three styles in which I find myself more comfortable and which I can express myself better, but right now I can´t lock myself in just one style or use always the same technique, if I do the same a long time, I get bored. Meanwhile I will continue investigating, learning and trying new things, I'm not afraid to make mistakes, sometimes I will do shit that people don't like haha and sometimes I will do cool things, but meanwhile I will have fun risking and doing what I want, just play!
11# Any words to our readers?
Quick fire questions:
- Favourite color? Right now I'm in my black and gold period ha.
- Favourite food? Sushi/Teppanyaki.
- Favourite Movie? Toy Story saga ;D.
- Favourite Music? I listen all kind of music, I'm not from styles, I'm from songs, if I like a song I don´t care the style. As guitarist I play from pop to heavy, but probably the most I have play in my life has been rock-blues.
- Favourite Toy? One of my favourite toys of all times is PAW by Coarse and lately I´m in love with the Jeff
Koons' Balloon Dog version by Whatshisname or the Coarse Can Can Mágoa.
- Your dream trip? Bali (Balinese wedding included ;).
Fer MG´s commission list is open so feel free and drop him a line at [email protected].

Friday, 8 January 2010
I've sorted out the remaining problems with picking up the printing (thanks Jill) and the gallery and finished (well nearly) my pieces for the exhibition. The snow even gave me a chance to give a good background to the shot of my Geode. (my collection for this exhibition is called 'Soft Rocks' and explores the internal structure of Rocks).
So from being down and stuck I'm off the mark again and exploiting the snow- what a difference a day makes.

Well done - and I love the idea of Soft Rocks. The photo of your piece in the snow is stunning. I never plucked up the courage to do a degree course and now, reading of the experiences of others I think it might well have been beyond me. I admire the commitment made by students and wish you every success with your studies.

And yes, it has taken me this long to write this essay about it.
Click on grubberguide to see the sketch for the main exhibit and the artist's valuable notes.
There were four items exhibited:
on the left of the entrance two video items – delivered at high professional standard.
In the one on the left, Finnegan appears as ventriloquist with a toy named Oscar, having a sophisticated debate. The one on the right contains instruction in Dutch for the animal's migration.(see Finnegan notes on Second floor and below here)
At the back of the room was a collection of the toy animals in static poses like in a shop or a museum, or a child's room waiting to be played with.
In the middle, a perfectly crafted wooden model of a Dutch warehouse ( size of an average doll house) with moving images and sound – titled Grubber.
The name is apparently acknowledging a borrowing from Dahl's story containing a shop called Grubber. I do not know that story, which possibly puts me into a minority of the viewers, I accept that not as a limit but a normal occurrence of differences between our experiences, memories, associations and knowledge. Those who know Dahl's story may cast me among the benighted visitors of this exhibition.
My first viewing was rushed, and disorganised… consequently, my aesthetic experience was largely governed by the appearance of the whole. The first aesthetic impact came from the craft and attention to detail by Shiro Masayuma who constructed this edition of the Grubber house for Golden Thread Gallery. The second impact has been connected to my not fully comprehending the role of similarities to doll houses, to children play, presented here as art for adults. Clashing with my expectations, was my decades old belief in this artist. She delivers serious art every time.
Finnegan is fiendishly clever, a hugely talented artist, mother of four young children, still managing keeping her practice alive and ready for exhibitions.
She titled this installation Works with animals and children. These words present toy animals as animals and as a part of her life with children. The slippery asymmetry is deliberate – perhaps flirting with Plato's warning that all works of art are incomplete? The mismatch between producing children and making toys is given false equivalence of slight boredom and not trying too hard to hide the artful dishevelment of thought. She chose the title with nonchalance, whose only role must be a nod to sprezzatura as in Baldassare Castiglione (1528) The words of the exhibition title rely for their charm on quizzical consciousness which meanders around the verse of immortal Ovid promising mythic comfort:
sometimes rivers of milk flowed, sometimes streams of nectar…
However – on subsequent visit I found something else, the mythical comfort of a poetic dream in the face of unforgiving reality is a virulent falsehood, fed by weakening of intellectual defences weakened by fear and insecurity. What kind of Earth shall we leave to our children?
Finnegan's Grubber is a nuanced discourse of the visible and the audible, divided into "stories" ( in both meanings here) of the house and continuous in its boundaries.I deliberately stick to thinking of the boundaries as a house- not a zoo, not a laboratory, not a detention centre, not even a puppet theatre, even if the shadows evoke strongly the puppet theatre of Java, whose cut out figures I saw for sale at the Waterlooplein Flee Market in Amsterdam.
At the fifth floor ( the Attic) 35 seconds film CARNIVORA pounces on the dangerous insecurities of being – a crocodile is admitted by a certain corrupt doorman – a clear danger to the huddled there other animals… Finnegan wishes to remove any doubt that incompatible species will kill by allowing the sound be a soundtrack to "A short Film about Killing" (Krzysztof Kieslowski)
Huddled above is a flock of sheep. Finnegan suggests " a sort of Nativity tableau". It being a comforting and familiar part of folk art and high art alike , it leads to an association away from the harsh Carnivora to a promise of eternal peace – with a dagger of conditions set up by one mighty guarantor. However it is also the only floor with available escape on a rope hanging from the gable. Hope? Survival instinct?
The figures of this Nativity scene are 60 cm tall, carved during the 1960s in Unhost, Czech republic. The position of the flock of sheep has double meaning: either they bring warmth to protect the newborn, or they eat all the hey making the exact opposite to happen. The idea of a Saviour and eternal life has been made visible outside the so called high art, where art and life merge. The flock of sheep have several roles, I single out two of them: they re-enforce the metaphor of Christ as a Shepard of believers in eternal life, and they act as witness and a carer of the newborn, making visible something intensively shared between the governed and governing. Finnegan makes her sheep blind and frozen, she refuses to offer any promise.
On the third floor (El Tercer Piso) is a "ballet" of the bull and a swan, their shadows move to a sound of a tango. A fiction that points to the truth has been a favourite mode for centuries. Two reliefs on the Fontana Maggiore in Perugia (13th C) present a wolf and a lamb and a wolf and a crane – as a potential instruction to mankind. The fictitious Aesop's fable is offered as a visible proverb.
In Phaedras, Plato has Socrates turning Aesop's fables into verses. These fables have dual ambition: to be true to nature and useful to life. Particularly at times when society experiences confusion, desensitisation, the art world steps in. For a Hindu it is Panchatantra, Buddhists have Jataka Tales, and fables are found already in ancient Sumer culture. Eternal recurrence as Nietzsche predicted.
Finnegan juxtaposes superficial joviality with a threat of latent violence. The sheep observing it seems paralysed by fear? It is even less obvious – more like depiction of something that appears positive yet excudes something disturbing, like a print or a painting by Paula Rego… glimps of sudden consciousness of a threat of violence without visible brutality.
So far the animals do not look at us. There is no reciprocal viewing – something strongly present in ancient bronze from Egypt – the cat being a deity:
Finnegan placed a duck outside the shadow dance, fully lit up. Has she escaped or has the light alerted her enemies?? The bull and the swan share some tender moments – while the stark contrast of black with white, of heavy and light, of charging and flying points to conflict and violence.
On the Second floor of Grubber – animals migrate – they seem to be forced to leave in a hurry. Whether by a force or instinct the hurry from one place to another. It is a similar accommodation – betraying crashed hope of a safer better life? This episode feels like actual comment on current migration of people. It narrowly avoids offering judgements – but it manages it perfectly with contradictory puzzling details of a giraffe who does not enter the new home, with a vulnerable newborn lamb being left behind etc. The sound is a mixture of nomadic traditions performed also by Stephane Grappelli ( you may recollect him playing with Yehudi Menuhin?)
At the two lower floors Finnegan placed Strategy I and II. An anonymous boy delivers in Dutch directions for the animals where to go – it is in a code of a chess moves – which increases certainty that the instruction will be misunderstood or not understood. The theme of uncertainty and instability keeps its hold.
To the sound of blues the Strategy II the animation boils towards the climax and stops.
Putting animals insight a well built home for people is instantly polemical. It seems that the nature that normally shelters the animals is nowhere to be seen, as if the world outside the house already ended. The relief of being indoors slips away. Somethings treacherous is present at every level, ultimate creepy threat is the shadow dance… the mass of stationary bodies evaporated, the eye is led to the movement of the light and shadow.
The promised shelter is overtaken by darkness of insecurity, threats and absence of hope.
This video novella has no chapters, just the mix of will and chance whispering that watching it will let you unearth some good, some future, some safety. At its centre are questions: What well being consists of? How to do most good? What is most important? How to safeguard the future of life?
It offers but one brave answer: everything is connected to everything, sublime drenched in uncertainty is here to stay.
Emotion is thus articulated, caught, performed and – fake. That triggers a surreal visual play between play and lie …
Learn to tolerate uncertainty.
Has any of this visited J B Priestley in 1927?
…at the other end of town are the money-grubbers, and the town itself is full of …

Mark 1:35-39
Very early in the morning, while it was still dark, Jesus got up, left the house and went off to a solitary place, where he prayed. Simon and his companions went to look for him, and when they found him, they exclaimed: "Everyone is looking for you!"
Jesus replied, "Let us go somewhere else – to the nearby villages – so I can preach there also. That is why I have come." So he traveled throughout Galilee, preaching in their synagogues and driving out demons.
Many times Jesus would leave a house to find a solitary place to pray. Most of the time He would leave while it was still dark. I'm sure that He didn't even tell anyone He was leaving. It must have been much later when the disciples started their search.
When the disciples finally caught up with Him they rebuked Him for "getting lost." It is amazing to me that in reply Jesus ignores their complaints and simply tells them what He had heard from the Father – the next step in their ministry to Israel.
Do you need to know the next step in your life? If Jesus needed to seek God in that way, I assume that the same has to be true for us. We desperately need a Word from the Father to complete our task.
Find that peaceful place today. Go before the Lord in the stillness that surrounds you and open up your soul to Him. Spend some time just listening for His still, small voice to your heart. Then answer the call in obedience to His will.

- Actor Burt Reynolds suffered a fatal cardiac arrest on Thursday, his agent, Todd Eisner, confirmed.
- Reynolds, popularly known for his thick mustache and easy-going charms, was considered as an iconic sex symbol during the 70s and the 80s.
- He became one of Hollywood's highest-paid actors, but was later fell into financial trouble amid private ventures in an Atlanta restaurant and a professional sports team, CNN reports.
Hollywood's sex symbol of the 70s, Burt Reynolds died on Thursday after suffering a cardiac arrest. A call to 911 for an ambulance from his Martin County estate in Florida was recorded.
Reynolds prominent films include "Smokey and the Bandit" and "Boogie Nights." The Michigan native also tried his hands in directing and later earned a reputation for philanthropy. He founded the Burt Reynolds Institute for Film & Theatre in Florida.
After landing roles as a Southern heartthrob to tough guy, he later tried his talent in comedy. His notable role was Rep. David Dilbeck in the 1996 film "Striptease" opposite Demi Moore. Although the film was a box office flop, Reynolds was praised for his comedic prowess.
The 1972 thriller "Deliverance," launched Reynolds to stardom for portraying as outdoorsman Lewis Medlock. Reynolds has said it was his best film "by far".
"I thought maybe this film is more important in a lot of ways than we've given it credit for," he said in an interview years later.
According to Reynolds, the film's infamous rape scene may have helped the public — especially men — better understand the horrors of sexual attacks.
Reynolds landed a role in the New York City Center revival of "Mister Roberts" in 1957, as well as a recurring spot in the TV series "Gunsmoke."
But it was in 1974 when Reynolds had hit it big and starred as an ex-football player who landed in prison in the film "The Longest Yard."
Reynolds posed nude in Cosmopolitan magazine in 1972, cementing his popularity as a sex symbol.
His star continued to shine through the 1970s and 1980s. He led the cast of "Smokey and the Bandit" and "Cannonball Run" movie franchises. Reynolds then earned People's Choice Awards as all-around male entertainer of the year in 1979, 1982 and 1983.
Reynolds regretted turning down some of the biggest roles in Hollywood history, including James Bond to Han Solo in George Lucas' 1977 blockbuster "Star Wars."
"I took the part that was the most fun. … I didn't take the part that would be the most challenging," Reynolds said in a CNN interview.
His love life also drew headlines after a high-profile divorce to actress Loni Anderson preceded Reynolds' bankruptcy filing in 1996, according to CNN.

R.C. Sproul (1939-2017) passed away this afternoon at age 78. Go buy three or four of his books for yourself and family.
Stephen Nichols summarizes Dr. Sproul's life in this post at Ligonier Ministries' site.
R.C. Sproul was a theologian who served the church. He admired the Reformers not only for the content of their message, but for the way they took that message to the people. They were "battlefield theologians," as he called them. Many first heard of the five solas of the Reformation through R.C. Sproul's teaching.
R.C. often recalled his first encounter with the God of the Bible. As a new Christian and a freshman in college, he devoured the Bible. One thing stood out from his reading: God is a God who plays for keeps. The Psalms, the story of Uzzah, Genesis 15:17, Mary's Magnificat, Luke 16:16–17, and, of course, Isaiah 6—the drama of these texts captivated R.C. from the moment he first read them.
May the Lord bless us with 1,000 just like Dr. Sproul in our generation and the next, men and women who will lift up the cross by the power of His Spirit for the perseverance of His kingdom.

Procedure Details
This is a twenty-eight-year-old woman from Tucson, Arizona came to Rao Plastic Surgery to discuss a rhinoplasty. She did not like the hump on her nose and she felt that her nostrils were too wide. She denied any trauma to her nose and was not experiencing any breathing problems. During her consultation, her exam revealed that she had a dorsal hump that was from a combination of cartilage and bones. She did not have any septal deviation and her nostrils were wide for her face. I reviewed her photos with her and I explained that I did feel that we could address her aesthetic concerns through a rhinoplasty. She underwent an open rhinoplasty at a surgery center in Tucson, Arizona. During her rhinoplasty, I removed her dorsal hump and did osteotomies. To address the width of her nose, I performed alar base resection. She did not require any internal nasal packing and she had a nasal splint to protect her nasal bones. She tolerated her surgery well and was discharged home from the recovery room. Her postoperative course was uneventful and her splint was removed after one week. She is now seven months out from her rhinoplasty and loves how her nose looks. Surgeon: Dr. Arun Rao Age: 28 Gender: FemaleMore

Applicant Phone Screen Report
Thank you for helping with applicant phone screening for DIBS! Please contact the applicant directly to arrange a time that works for you, as well as them.
A few phone screen (PS) tips:
- Prior to the call, familiarize yourself with the application and the bio for the dog (if applicable).
- It is suggested that prior to contacting an applicant, if possible use call blocking first to protect your privacy.
- Start the call by saying: "Call will take about 45 minutes, I have lots of questions and at the end, I am sure you will have questions for me".
- Suggest to clarify if the dog has several applications. For instance: "Doggie has been so popular – thank you for applying. We have 3 applications that are being reviewed." We want to be clear on expectations, as often a dog gets many great apps, and another application is simply a better fit. Do not recommend a dog.
- Stay on track. The call can get long easily – stick to the script. If applicant deviates too much, remind them "I do have lots more questions" so they can turn it back over to you.
- The screener should not be sharing opinions, making recommendations, discussing dogs – this is our chance to learn about the applicants. You need to be in listening mode.
- Give applicants a chance to ask questions. (Can be a challenge with some as the call can go sideways)
- Explain the application process, and let them know next steps
- After the chat, thank them for their time and inform them that they will be contacted by DIBS Rescue for the next and final step which is a home visit. (Or they can contact DIBS directly)
