Parent Memo 2/23/18
Dear Parents,
The Accreditation Visiting Team finished their work and left yesterday afternoon. It was a good, productive visit and they had a very positive overall impression. They felt we had correctly identified our areas that need improvement and had an appropriate action plan in place. They can't actually tell us if we received reaccreditation or not until the final committee receives the report, but the team leader told us we had nothing to worry about…which I already knew. We are posting the Powerpoint presentation that we presented to the Accreditation Visiting Team on the school's website. It gives a summary of the whole process we went through and the data we collected from the surveys and a snapshot of our school. You might be interested in taking a look at it. Hopefully we will get the full written report from them in April. I will keep you posted.
In Service,

There were the typical get-to-know you's and introductions to new teammates. Then there was the other introduction coach Don Bunker had to make at the first bowling practice for W.F. West High's new bowling team – the basic, "This is a bowling ball."
But Ashley Werner, a senior who is bowling for the first time in her life, is a quick study. In a recent win against Tumwater, Ashley rolled a team-best 165, leading her team to victory.
"I just started bowling this year," Ashley said at a recent practice at Fairway Lanes. "I bowled maybe a few times with my family before."
But with some constructive coaching and some dedicated practice, Ashley is averaging 157 bowling, tops on her team.
"Our coaches give us great coaching," Ashley said. "With their coaching and me practicing every day, I've showed a lot of improvement. Actually, before I didn't think bowling was that technical of a sport. But there's a lot to it."
Just two months before the season started, Ashley decided she'd give bowling a shot during her last year of high school. Last spring, Ashley turned out for tennis for the first time and ended up playing number three doubles for the Bearcats. Again, she overcame inexperience with determined practice. That commitment to hard work is paying off again during bowling.
As she's listened to her coaches, Ashley learned an important ingredient to bowling. Finesse and control are more important than power, than swinging and throwing hard.
"I think control is definitely more important," Ashley said.
That was obvious as Ashley bowled six strikes in her win against Tumwater. Four more strikes and she would have had a perfect 300 game.
"I love bowling," Ashley said. "It's a sport that I can do for the rest of my life. And it's something everyone can do. I was really happy when I heard that we were starting a bowling team."
For about four years, W.F. West had a boys and girls club bowling team. When it was announced earlier this year there was going to be a girls varsity bowling team for the first time, Ashley was among the eager ones ready to turn out.
"I'm involved in theater, but when I heard there was a bowling team I thought, why not join?" Ashley said. "Our team has definitely bonded a lot. It's a great group of girls."
Bunker has 22 girls on the team, making them one of the largest bowling teams in the 2A Evergreen League.
"They really work hard," Bunker said. "They're motivated. They take it serious."
And this first-year team has gotten some boisterous fan support.
"When we did our jamboree, we didn't know what to expect," Bunker said. "We went to Vancouver and there must have been 200 people there. Someone came and sang the national anthem. It was pretty exciting."
Bunker is not a rookie to coaching. He's coached the Bearcats' baseball team for about 25 years. And there's a sophomore on the bowling team that he knows. That's Ellie Bunker, his niece.
"It's great," Don Bunker said about coaching his niece. "I've coached her a little bit with fastpitch, too."
Ellie has another relative on the coaching staff. That's her grandpa, Rich Bunker, who is Don's father and is the Lewis County Bowling Association president. Ellie has bowling in her blood.
Also on the coaching staff is Bob Spahr, who is like Mr. Bowling in Chehalis. Bob and Rich have both been inducted into the Lewis County Bowling Association's Hall of Fame.
"It's really nice," Ellie said when asked what it's like having her uncle and grandpa coach the team. "My grandpa helps out, too. We practiced over the summer a little bit."
That head start has helped. Ellie has a 147 average bowling, second best on the team. When she was in fourth grade, Ellie got her first introduction to bowling, participating in a league for a year. Then she stopped bowling until last summer.
While she's only a sophomore, Ellie has already proven she has the athletic talent to do well in bowling. But that doesn't come as a surprise. Last spring as a freshman, she started at second base for W.F. West.
Through repetition and instruction from her coaches, Ellie, like Ashley, has picked up bowling quickly. Besides her success on her high school team, Ashley has had a more personal victory. She beat her dad. "Yes, I have beaten him," Ashley said with a giggle. "He used to bowl in a league. He's bowled his whole life."
And now Ashley has the family bragging rights. It's come through hard work. But hard work has been a common theme for these Bulldogs in their first year as a team. Don Bunker has made sure of that.
"Every week we have competitions so girls establish an average," Bunker said. "The top four bowlers both for varsity and JV are determined by their weekly practice. So, we set up these competition days, two a week where they can establish an average."
All the varsity players average between 130 and the 150s.
"There's constant competition," Bunker said.
And that helps push each player to improve.
"They're not here goofing around," Bunker said. "They come down here and ask questions. They want to do better. The improvement has been incredible and we've still got a long ways to go."

Vienna, first quarter of the 19th century
wood, mother of pearl, fire-gilt bronze (ormolu)
two flames candlestick made of
fire-gilt bronze (ormolu)
two sails, each one made of
one piece of mother-of-pearl
miniature painting of a view of Vienna from
"Spinnerin am Kreuz" (Viennese stone monument)
original fire gilded wick scissors (ormolu)
Höhe 22 in.
In the first half of the 19th century, Vienna was, besides Paris and London, a center for internationally sought after mother-of-pearl works of the highest quality.
This special object in the form of a sailboat shows the incredible craftsmanship and the cooperative interaction of some of the greatest master craftsmen, such as mother-of-pearl workers, chiselers, carpenters, decorative metalworkers, gilders, etc., who assembled all the individual pieces to create a perfect piece of art.
The descriptions of the 1830 Arts and Crafts Fair in Leipzig mention a light screen made of mother-of-pearl in the form of a ship. They could be referring to this showpiece: "But in no winter have the Viennese gallantry manufacturers been more innovative, the clockmakers more diligent, the works in mother-of-pearl (mother-of-pearl being the most popular) more baroque, […] the most beautiful, but also the inexpensive clocks, tortoiseshell and mother-of-pearl works of the Viennese, […]. Newly found, a ship made of mother-of-pearl, whose sails form an artistically painted light screen for 36 thalers […]. "1 (The portal of a hunting castle was estimated at 34 thalers in 1830.)

The GED Test in Kentucky
Kentucky currently offers the GED examination at numerous testing centers. The content of the GED and the procedures for testing are set forth by the GED Testing Service on the GED website.
There are four sections that make up the GED test: math, science, social studies, and language arts. The test takes just over seven hours to finish and cannot be completed online.

To pass, students must earn a score of 580 overall and no less than 145 on each section. The GED test in Kentucky is available in both English and Spanish.
Requirements for Taking the GED

GED test-takers should be at least 19 years old, should not already have a high school diploma and should not be enrolled in a secondary school program.

Thanks in part to Marie Kondo's popular Netflix show and best-selling books, the latest fad sweeping the country is decluttering and organizing your home. Most Americans have way too much stuff and clutter can take over every aspect of our lives. However, the process can often feel so overwhelming that people don't know where to begin. That's where the professionals come in.
Carey Smith of Springfield has made a business out of helping people declutter their homes. Since 2013, she has used her business, Carey Smith's Organizing and Decluttering, to work with people who often find themselves in stressful situations due to the condition of their homes.
"It's an emotional process," says Smith. "People find they have to face a lot of emotional issues that they don't want to deal with."
She suggests starting with items that you don't have an emotional attachment to such as clothing, books or junk mail. It's easy to purge these items and often clients find it gives them a confidence boost.
When sorting through your things, look at each item and ask yourself if it is important to you and is something you want to bring with you on your journey. If it is, keep it. Otherwise, let it go. And remember you don't have to keep family things handed down to you simply out of a sense of obligation.
For those items you're not sure about, put them aside and come back to them later. The important thing is to keep moving forward. The more you move forward, the easier it becomes.
The end goal is to find a place for everything in your home. Once everything has a place, it's easier to keep your home clean.
Susan Van Dyke, owner of DClutterBug House Cleaning and Organizing, said for her, the satisfaction comes from seeing the look of relief on someone's face. "You're getting the monkey off someone's back," she said.
She tells people to focus on one room at a time, rather than the big picture. Start by getting rid of the largest items in the room and then work your way down to the smallest ones. This frees up space.
Set aside a block of time, whether it's one day or an entire weekend. Start in the room that brings you the most tranquility. This is often the bedroom.
Walk through the space and categorize the room into groups such as clothing, material or keepsakes. This makes it easier to decide which items to keep or get rid of. Look at each item and ask yourself how you feel about it. You can always set an item aside and come back to it later. This is the hardest part of the process and can be emotionally taxing.
In the end, it's worth it. It gives people a new lease on life. However, decluttering is only part of it. Finding storage solutions that work for you and help you stay organized is the second part of the process. People often have enough storage, but it's not utilized efficiently. Here is where a professional can help you find the best storage solutions for your needs.
George Coontz and his team at The Organized Home, located at 2601 Chuckwagon Dr. in Springfield, design and install storage solutions for every room in your home except the kitchen and bathroom. In business for 30 years, he was at the forefront of the industry and has seen a lot of changes.
"We design around you and your needs," he said, and works with clients to create a functional attractive space. He suggests that before you contact a professional, know how you plan to use the space, what your budget is and what your expectations are for the space.
One thing you don't need to do is clean your house. Coontz says he wants to see the space the way it is to understand what your needs are.
His team sees usable space where others don't and utilizes it so you get the maximum use out of it. They can lay out a room that works best for you using 3-D imagery. There are a lot of new products, options and finishes available, and The Organized Home also offers design services.
For those who feel overwhelmed and aren't sure what to tackle first, Smith offers a word of advice. "Don't blame yourself," said Smith. "Just start where you're at and move forward."

THE INVOKING OF campus activist discourse by Chinese students at the University of California, San Diego, to try and prevent the Dalai Lama from giving a speech on campus should not be particularly surprising. Namely, the discourse about diversity and inclusivity which one often sees on college campuses–with blow-ups about campus events supposedly exclusive or insensitive to the views of a marginalized people or another–have become hegemonic in the cultural landscape of America.
As such, this discourse has come to be taken up by right-wing political actors and others. One can observe this in the rise of the so-called Alt Right, for example, the contemporary neo-Nazi movement which has absorbed much of the critical theory used by the Left. The easy appropriation of cultural politics discourse to a right-wing political stance points to that much of this discourse is far from radical but remains firmly liberal in outlook.
Likewise, with the co-optation of cultural appropriation discourse by elements of the Alt Right, this points to that how much of contemporary discourse about cultural appropriation is in fact wedded to essentialist views of identity. These essentialist views of identity are not necessarily incommensurable with forms of ethno-nationalism as the Alt Right's contemporary white ethno-nationalism.

But in the case of Chinese students using the discourse of "diversity" and "inclusivity" to try and cancel planned talks by the Dalai Lama, this is likely because Chinese students on college campuses across the US had seen campus events shut down using such claims before. So, imitating such tactics seemed effective.
Of course, it is highly ironic to use the language of diversity in order to prevent a member of an oppressed minority in China as the Dalai Lama from speaking. In some of the complaints made by Chinese students, this was the familiar refrain of "hurting China's feelings" merged with the complaints about cultural insensitivity which one often sees on college campuses in America.
Obviously, there is a large a gaping contradiction one observes here, in which it is the oppressor that attempts to seize the language of the oppressed, given the oppression of Tibetans and other ethnic minorities within China by the Han majority population. In China, the actions of the state are racist in nature, with wide-sweeping actions by the Chinese government such as unilaterally seizing the passports of all residents of Xinjiang, a Uighur majority region. One can go so far as to suggest that Chinese subsidies for intermarriages between Han and ethnic minorities are a mild form of ethnic cleansing, aimed at eliminating the differences between ethnic minorities and Han in order to provide for their integration into Han rule.
But comparison to the Alt Right is again an apt one here, in the sense that the white nationalists of the Alt Right claim to be victimized and have appropriated a form of discourse used by minority groups in the US to call attention to their marginalization for their own purposes. In the case of the Alt Right, this is claiming that whites are becoming minorities in their own nation, and facing such spectral threats as 'white genocide" at the hands of blacks, Mexicans, or immigrants. So, too, with Han Chinese students in America lashing out at Tibetans and attempting to silence them in the name of diversity and inclusivity, perhaps.

Chinese students at the University of California, San Diego have claimed that they are not acting on behalf of state actors. One wonders. It is not inconceivable that such students may be acting on their own out of patriotic motives, after all, although Chinese student groups on American campuses are sometimes mobilized to silence campus events critical of China, and the hand of the CCP from afar is sometimes visible in their actions.
But this may not be important. Either way, these events demonstrate something about the shifts in contemporary cultural politics in the United States, in which in the lead-up to the election of Donald Trump, we saw the appropriation of racial discourse normally used by minority groups by some unexpected actors. No doubt, such events will only be on the rise. Yet it remains to be seen whether nationalistic Chinese students will continue to employ the language of "diversity" and "inclusivity" as a new weapon in their toolkit to dampen criticism of China.

Broccoli Carbonara
The inclusion of broccoli is a 'ring-in' addition to a classic way with spaghetti. I prefer to use penne for this variation as it seems to complement the weight of the broccoli pieces.
250g penne or pasta of choice
350g broccoli, cut into small florets, stems peeled and cut into thin rounds
3 free-range egg yolks
2 tablespoons pouring cream
2 tablespoons grated parmesan
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
75g streaky bacon, cut into thin strips
Sea salt and freshly ground pepper
1. Preheat oven to 100°C and put an ovenproof serving bowl inside to warm.
2. Fill 2 large heavy-based saucepans with lightly salted water and bring to the boil over high heat. Drop penne into one and boil for about 12 minutes or until al dente. Drop the broccoli into second pan. When water returns to the boil, cook for 2 minutes exactly, then scoop broccoli with a slotted spoon into a colander resting over a large mixing bowl.
3. Put egg yolks, cream and parmesan in a bowl. Lightly whisk and set aside. When pasta has 3–4 minutes cooking time left, heat olive oil in a large heavy-based non-stick frying pan over medium heat and sauté bacon until it starts to crisp. Tip in broccoli and toss.
4. Drain pasta in a colander, reserving a spoonful of cooking water. Immediately add pasta to broccoli and bacon mixture. Toss to mix. Add reserved pasta water to egg mixture. Remove frying pan from the heat, then tip in egg, cream and cheese mixture and shake to thicken. Transfer to the heated serving dish and season to taste. Serve at once.

20 Dirty Secrets Your Real Estate Broker Will Never Tell You
For examples, Real estate agents in New York City alone are about 27,000 as compared to average of around 12,598 contracts in a year. This indicates that majority of real estate agents didn't get housing deals.
(17) Web Listings Are Often False or Misleading
It is one of the most significant dirty secrets your real estate broker will never tell you. Real estate agents are often listing property for sale with very attractive images of mind blowing interiors.
Such beautiful images of house are easily available anywhere around the world through various sources or photo-sharing websites.
Sometimes, they also keep up a listing that has been on market for sale a long time before. But, even if such property for sale is not available now due to closing of a deal or if the current status has changed.
These property agents never remove such false house listing with misleading facts just to attract buyers for another house.
(18) Pocket Listing Is Not Always Beneficial
It is one of the most common dirty secrets your real estate broker will never tell you. A pocket listing is a form of real estate listing in which a broker usually holds a signed contract with the seller of the house.
This practice provides agents an "Exclusive Right to Sell" or "Exclusive Listing" contract to sell a house with limited advertising for an agreed-upon period of time.
Pocket listing agreement prevents listing of real estates for sale in a Multiple Listing Service (MLS). This secret sale concept mainly designed to get higher valuations for a property as well as to get serious buyers only.

Health Enhancement Systems (HES), world leader in workplace wellness challenges, recently released the free ebook Now We're Talking! to help wellness practitioners transform programs and reduce workload through a robust communication strategy.
This resource focuses on a broad spectrum of communication topics including:
· Program promotion
· Social media marketing
· Ongoing updates and reporting
· Branding
· Inbound marketing
· Word-of-
· Event marketing
· Champion mobilization
· Program "sales."
"We see so many fantastic wellness programs out there — with the well-being services and support employees need. Some have high participation rates and see great success. Others struggle to fulfill their potential," explains Dean Witherspoon, HES CEO and founder. "This ebook does an excellent job of spelling out how communication can turn a failing program around or add value to one that's already thriving."
Now We're Talking! shares proven communication tips to deepen both understanding and skill. And instead of adding to the laundry list of tasks, the tools in this ebook put strategy and tactics to work for the practitioner.
"At HES, we see coordinators implementing wellness initiatives every day. There's a stark difference between the success of programs that follow well-executed communication strategies and those that figure it out as they go," notes Witherspoon.
Bob Merberg, author of Now We're Talking!, is a leader in workplace wellness with broad experience developing and managing well-being programs. Merberg is currently principal at Jozito LLC, where he provides custom well-being and communication consulting. His work is recognized nationally: The National Business Group on Health (NBGH) named Merberg sole recipient of its Special Recognition Award for Program Communication, citing his "innovative, technology-driven campaigns resulting in high employee engagement and continual support for a culture of health." NBGH also honored Bob's overall wellness program 7 times with its Best Employer for Healthy Lifestyles award.
Together, HES and Merberg bring more than 50 years in refining well-being initiatives. The advice throughout this ebook is based on experience and research, verified across countless wellness programs.
"No matter how an employer chooses to address employee wellness, the importance of an all-out communication strategy is universal," confirms Merberg. "I offer practical tips that can help any leader — whether they're launching a new employee wellness project or taking an existing program from good to great — achieve a surge in engagement. The result: positioning wellness as a defining feature of their workplace."

Porchetta-style roast pork with a courgette, chickpea and spinach salad
Serves 4 | total time
Porchetta-style roast pork with a courgette, chickpea and spinach saladSubscribe to Sainsbury's magazine
Serves 4 | total time
Nutritional information (per serving)
- 1-1.2kg pork crackling loin joint (we used Taste the Difference outdoor- reared pork)
- zest of 1 lemon (reserve the juice for the dressing)
- 1 tbsp fennel seeds
- 2 garlic cloves, crushed
- 1⁄2 x 130g pack Mortadella, chopped
- 2 tbsp finely grated Parmesan
- 6 sage leaves, roughly chopped, plus 2 extra sprigs
- 2 tbsp rapeseed oil
- 300ml white wine
For the salad
- 1 large courgette
- 1 x 100g pack baby leaf spinach
- 1 x 400g tin chickpeas, drained and rinsed
- 25g pine nuts, toasted
- 40g raisins
- 3 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
- reserved juice of 1 lemon
- 2 tsp clear honey
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard
Step by step
Get ahead
Prepare the pork up to the end of step 4 a couple of hours ahead, cover loosely with foil and leave at room temperature. The salad and dressing can be prepared a few hours ahead, but keep separate until ready to serve.
- Remove the pork from the fridge a couple of hours before cooking. Remove the string, pat the rind completely dry and score with a sharp knife to accentuate the crackling. Cover loosely and leave at cool room temperature.
- When ready to cook, preheat the oven
to 220°C, fan 200°C, gas 7. With a sharp kitchen knife, carefully slide the blade under the skin and fat to separate it from the meat, but leave the skin attached at one side.
- Put the lemon zest, fennel seeds, garlic, Mortadella, Parmesan, chopped sage and rapeseed oil in a food processor with some freshly ground black pepper and whiz until finely chopped.
- Spread about a third of the paste over the underside of the pork joint, then spread the rest between the meat and the skin, but not over the crackling side. Replace the fat layer over the meat and re-tie the joint with fresh string.
- Rest the pork in the roasting tin, on top of the sage sprigs, and season the rind with 1⁄2 tsp fine salt, rubbing it in well. Pour the white wine into the base of the tin around the pork. Roast for 15 minutes on the high temperature then reduce the heat down to 180°C, fan 160°C, gas 4 and roast for a further 45 minutes for a 1kg joint, or 1 hour for 1.2kg. Keep an eye on the liquid level in the roasting tin and if it reduces too much, top it up with a little extra wine or water. Finally, turn the oven temperature back up to 220°C, fan 200°C, gas 7 and roast for 15 minutes to brown the pork.
- Meanwhile, for the salad, cut the courgette into long ribbons using a vegetable peeler and place in a large serving bowl. Add the spinach, chickpeas, pine nuts and raisins and toss together well. Mix together the olive oil, lemon juice, honey and mustard in a small bowl and season with a pinch of salt and ground black pepper, then set aside. When ready to serve, pour the dressing over the salad and toss together.
- Remove the pork from the oven, transfer to a carving board (discarding the sage sprigs) and leave to rest, loosely covered with foil, for 10-15 minutes. Carve the pork into thin slices (about 3 per serving) and serve with the dressed salad and pan juices.

This isn't my first foray into musicals, actually this isn't even my first foray into musicals starring Hugh Jackman. That would be Les Miserables, which I gotta tell ya, was another movie that made me wonder why my pants got tighter during any of the million X-Men movies with Wolverine.
Do I have a man crush on Logan himself? With his whimsical dancing and the voice of a gruff untamed animal in the wild that you want to take home and house train? Sure, maybe a little. Then add in the blue river that is Zac Efrons eyes and you've got yourself one helluva musical adventure that would make even the hardest of MAGA hat wearing, gun-toting, bible thumping rednecks who love to scream "Adam and Eve not Adam and Steve" while burning crosses on the neighborhood negro's yard question their own sexuality, albeit momentarily.
The movie starts off with a pretty damn rip-roaring (I honestly don't know how else to describe it) musical number that I happened to catch myself listening to on the way to work this morning. I also undoubtedly will be listening to it on my way home.
Once I get the words memorized, look out Saturday night karaoke drunk at 2am. It immediately goes into another musical number sung at first by the young PT Barnum that segues into adult PT and all his mythical glory and bright eyed enthusiasm. with lyrics
"Cause every night I lie in bed
The brightest colors fill my head"
I too was starting to see colors fill my head. This is where sexual orientation began to be questioned, and rightfully so.
OK Michelle Williams plays PT's wife and she looks great. I keep enjoying anytime she's on screen and it also makes me remember I'm straight.
Thanks Michelle you're beautiful I love every sec-
OH god no, Zacs on screen and I'm confused again. Then to top it off he has a duet with Hugh Jackman that I have to say, IS FANTASTIC. It takes place between the two of them alone in a bar and even the bartender somehow makes great use of his screen time and honestly I want to be in the bar drinking with them while this happens.
Then along comes this girl Zendaya who honestly I have never heard of before this movie, but apparently she's famous from some teen Disney show. Still not sure how that has allowed her to be in the pretty elite class of famous people who get away with using only one name, but somehow that's happened. Bono would be turning over in his grave, if he weren't still alive.
So I'm back feeling comfortable with myself and being attracted to Zendaya (she's 22, it's OK. Sorta creepy, but OK) and of course her and Zac are into each other because of course, and also I wanna know how cute those kids would be. And now they're having a duet and Oh my god ZAC IS AMAZING IN IT. Zendaya is all over the place, flying around in ribbon and just being amazing but honestly I'm lost now in Zac's performance and Zendaya's mastery of the trapeze and I don't know what this says about me anymore that I am literally so taken aback by this, to the point I'd call it art. Wonderful, amazing, phenomenal art and OH MY GOD ZACs EYES AGAIN.
I've gone almost full homosexual after this scene and I'm OK with that. The movie just is great going forward, and the music is stuff I'll be listening to on repeat for a while after this. Wolverine is amazing as always, and I keep telling myself it's just a normal man crush. I highly recommend this movie regardless of sexual orientation, it's got a good story, obviously a great soundtrack, plenty of freaks like you'd have found in any PT Barnum show, and don't even get me started out the outfits. (Seriously, don't. I've done enough to ruin my reputation gushing over the soundtrack) Hopefully my girlfriend tonight will remind me I'm a straight man, or at the very least, we can listen to the soundtrack together.

After all, DHS lets the illegals in without any get more info restriction.

Uncertainties ahead of the cooperation between the EU and post-Brexit UK could raise energy costs for the British market, striking consumers and unnecessarily complicating UK carbon emissions reductions, according to the Green Alliance newly-released study. Among the observations and suggestions, the Green Alliance urges the Government to maintain a barrier-free trade and to further the electricity interconnection with the EU.
The future role of the European Court of Justice (ECJ) is also a crucial consideration as a hard-negotiating position on the ECJ potentially hinders a positive outcome. The UK's solid stance on the ECJ is an obstacle for any agreement, because it is severely involved in governing the shared energy and climate rules. An EU-UK Association Agreement, similar to the EU's one with the Ukraine, would be one way to reconcile existing political stances with the desired outcomes.

Blog Synopsis:
- According to Brazilian researchers, people who suffer from tinnitus may find relief from the hormone oxytocin.
- Oxytocin is a powerful hormone often known as the "cuddle" or "love" hormone because it encourages social interactions and bonding.
- In this blog, the physicians at AOC explain results from the study that claim oxytocin decreases the effects of tinnitus, a condition that causes ringing in the ears.
Tinnitus is a common health issue that affects approximately one in every five people, according to Mayo Clinic. Many people often wonder why this ailment affects so many people. First and foremost, it's not an actual condition, it's a symptom of a condition.
This means that anyone who suffers from age-related hearing loss or has an ear injury or disorder may be affected by tinnitus. Treating the underlying condition may help relieve or completely diminish tinnitus. However, there are instances where ringing in the ears occurs naturally from age-related hearing loss.
In these cases, alternative therapies may need to be considered to lessen the effects of tinnitus. According to researchers in Brazil, spraying oxytocin in the nose may help minimize the effects of tinnitus. This would be an incredible breakthrough considering the noise from tinnitus can be bothersome and interferes with thinking, emotions, hearing, sleep, and concentration.
During the study, researchers had some of the participants' spray puffs of oxytocin into their nostrils while the others sprayed a placebo (distilled water) into their nostrils. Thirty minutes after the treatment, the study's participants were asked to report their symptoms. They were told to repeat this process 24 hours later.
After compiling the data, the results from the study determined the patients who received oxytocin had a significant reduction in their tinnitus symptoms compared to those who received the placebo. While the author of the study couldn't fully explain why the tinnitus patients experienced such positive results, she did state the following:
"Oxytocin has actions in the brain and the ear that may help provide immediate relief from tinnitus," said lead researcher Dr. Andreia Azevedo. "For some patients, tinnitus disappeared or reached a non-distress level. In some patients the tinnitus kept low, and for others, it raised after drug therapy ended."
The doctor speculates that oxytocin may have an effect on fluid regulation in the inner ear and the production of the neurotransmitter dopamine. Regardless, additional studies and clinical trials will need to be performed before physicians can conclusively consider oxytocin a treatment option for patients with tinnitus. This is due, in large part, to the fact that oxytocin can lead to serious complications, such as an abnormal heartbeat, low blood pressure, high blood pressure, allergic reactions, breathing difficulty, nausea, and vomiting.

On May 15 Tim Peake recorded a video message during his free time for the participants of our recent Coding Challenges competition!
The first challenge required you to write Python Sense HAT code to turn Ed and Izzy (the Astro Pi computers) into an MP3 player, so that Tim Peake could plug in his headphones and listen to his music. The second required you to code Sonic Pi music for Tim to listen to via the MP3 player.
Crew time is heavily regulated on the ISS. However, because no science or experimentation output is required for this, they allowed us to upload it as a crew care package for Tim! We're very grateful to the UK Space Agency and ESA for letting us extend the Astro Pi project in this way to engage more kids.
Tim Peake with the Astro Pi MP3 player
British ESA astronaut Tim Peake's message to the students who took part in the 2016 Astro Pi coding challenges to hack his Astro Pi mini-computer, on the International Space Station, into an MP3 player. The music heard is called Run to the Stars composed by one of the teams who took part.
The music heard is called Run to the Stars, composed with Sonic Pi by Iris and Joseph Mitchell, who won the 11 years and under age group.
Tim also said in an email:
As a side note, I've also loaded it with some of my Spacerocks music – it works just great. I was dubious about the tilt mechanism working well in microgravity, using the accelerometers to change tracks, but it works brilliantly. I tried inputting motion in other axes to test the stability and it was rock solid – it only worked with the correct motion. Well done to that group!!
Thanks again to everyone who took part, to our special judges OMD and Ilan Eshkeri, and especially to Tim Peake, who did this during his time off on a Sunday afternoon last weekend.

NEW DELHI (AP) — A pedestrian bridge connecting a train station with a road collapsed in Mumbai on Thursday, killing at least five people and injuring more than 30, police said.
Police officer Praveen Satpal said 36 injured people were hospitalized, some in serious condition. Some motorists who were driving under the bridge when it collapsed were among the injured, the Press Trust of India news agency reported.
An audit of the bridge's safety was carried out last year, said Maharashtra state Education Minister Vinod Tawde. He told reporters that some minor damage was detected and had not been repaired before the collapse of the bridge.
Thousands of commuters have used the 39-year-old bridge daily to reach Mumbai's bustling Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus railway station.
Maharashtra state's top elected leader, Devendra Fadanavis, ordered an inquiry into the collapse of the structure.
In 2017, a stampede broke out on a crowded pedestrian bridge connecting two railway stations in Mumbai, India's financial and entertainment capital, killing at least 22 people and injuring 32.
India's public infrastructure projects are substandard and collapse often in part because of corruption that leads to the construction of weak structure foundations and poor maintenance.
Rescuers ended their search operation at the collapsed bridge about two hours after it fell, Satpal said, adding that authorities were sure there was no one trapped because the rubble had been cleared away.

The sector chair of the Association of Ghana Industries (AGI) Construction Sector and Vice President of the Chartered Institute of Building (CIOB-Africa) Mr Rockson Dogbegah has lauded the establishment of Construction Bank Ghana Limited describing it as timely and strategic.
"I see the opening of the Construction Bank, Ghana as very timely and strategic. It's coming at a time when the government has set very ambitious targets to make Ghana one of the most attractive industrialized countries in Africa. This calls for a sustainable long term financing environment to support the agenda for growth," he said.
Speaking in an interview in Accra Mr Dogbegah said it was his expectation that the Bank would help in addressing some of the major challenges confronting the sector.
"I will expect the bank to be supportive of the needs of the sector. The bank should be able to position itself to pre- finance government contracts so government can pay the bank directly. This can be done by government providing some kind of guarantee to the banks," he said.
In this case, he said, the government must deal directly with the bank whiles contractors take their certificate directly to the bank for payment.
"This way the headache of delayed payment for government contracts suffered by local contractors leading to a lot of nonperformance related issues will be solved. I'll also expect the new bank to create a desk to provide special support services to contractors and customers in the area of business growth support solutions. In other jurisdictions, this is done very well to ensure that SMEs are adhering to corporate governance and growth strategies," he suggested.
On challenges confronting the construction, he said cited in particular delayed payment by government sector clients as one the challenges.
"This problem strains the relationship with our suppliers and puts a lot of pressure on government service providers. It's not surprising that, most local contractors are not able to live long," he said.
Mr Dogbegah said "Long term financing is also a challenge. Most facilities are short term. The high interest rates also don't make the local construction companies competitive. Foreign companies are able to access banking facility without too much demand for collateral etc and also at a cheaper cost sometimes between 3-5 per cent as opposed to over 35 per cent in Ghana with a lot of other fees- processing, monitoring, etc which aggregates to about five per cent. All of these make the cost of construction in Ghana very expensive."
On ways to solving the problems confronting the sector, he said, "As a country we need a complete re-orientation and be ready to learn very quickly from what other countries are doing. There is the need for government to further quicken the private sector re-positioning agenda for it to provide the needed impact through further deepening of the private sector engagement. It's important to mention that this government is doing well but there is still a lot of room for improvement."
The government he said must also create the appropriate socio-economic environment through revolutionary policies and legislations that ensure all polices are well aligned to stimulate performance of the banking sector.
"I wish to congratulate the Board Chairman Asare Akuffo and the MD Mr Steve Kpordzi for their appointment as the first "drivers" of the maiden bank. The two have a lot of banking experience in the banking sector and the construction industry space," he said

Fixed split bumpers for next hotfix
UE4 Open Beta Body + Variant Issues list
Fixed for the next hotfix
This body:
Caused me to have this (problem circled in red!):
Its too heavy!
I am now quite mad because of this. I uninstalled the game again and it still has this problem. No quality points used on any tab except +5 on the top end part of the engine and +1 on the fuel system.
Oh and another thing:
Why does it say Text Block when I hover to the icon on the very right. This applies both in the engine screen and the car screen?
Are you getting this on the open beta build? As far as I am aware this does not occur on the current stable release.
Clear your game cache (via the launcher), that gets rid of the text block issue.
The weight issue with that body was fixed in the dev build a few days ago, so it won't be a problem in the next patch.
can you DM me a .car file? I can't seem to reproduce this on my end.
One of the car bodies have a low scrapping exhaust pipes bug (For front and mid engine). Tried it in BeamNG.Drive game and this type of low exhaust pipe bug damaged my car.
So I don't waste any more of your time; I went to create a new vehicle using that body and it appears to be fine now… so the issues in my screenshots must have just happened because I loaded the truck I built on that body on a previous version.
Do you still need the .car file for it, since that's the case?
ah, yes it is possible that the morphs have been updated with the recent update, which could mess with a saved car you have with that body. You could try touching the morphs again to see if it 'snaps' back in to place, or you're just going to have to re-do the car if you want it to be symmetrical, sorry
You could also try to re-select the same trim body, that could work.
I did try that actually, and the other pick-up truck variants of that body as well, but it had no effect on fixing the weirdness. Neither did jiggling the morphs. That's what made me think that it was a body issue… it usually gets fixed the way you two suggested.
Sorry for the confusion; I should have tried a new vehicle from the start to test that more conclusively.
I'll just make the vehicle anew… at least I can still look at the old one in case I forget what I did.
Not sure if it belongs on here, nor if it has been mentioned before, but the 2009 small sedan has an impossibly tiny passenger volume, significantly hurting comfort scores.
These are both for the 10sSupercar01Small.
Firstly there is an issue with the front and rear wheel alignments.
Secondly, there is "tearing" when you lower the wing transformation.
Thanks guys and keep up the great work!
90sCoupe01Large_ConvS has this issue with the rear morphs (when they're maxed out)
(Also has weird centreline reflections and a lowpoly mesh in general, but that's excusable)
the odd morph issue has been fixed for a future patch

You've probably heard rumors about the effects weed can have on your sex life, but what's really going on when you light up before getting between the sheets? Some people say that marijuana has helped them have longer, more intense orgasms (and more of them), while others say cannabis may contribute to erectile dysfunction and other sexual problems. So what's the whole truth? Is marijuana good or bad for your sex life?
Thankfully, the era of safe, legal cannabis is ushering in a new wave of research that will hopefully put some of these rumors to bed. Recent studies on marijuana use and sexuality show that the truth may be a bit more nuanced, and that we still have a lot to learn about cannabis in the bedroom.
It makes sense that the calming effects of cannabis might help put you in the mood, and a recent study found a very interesting correlation between marijuana use and higher libidos. Tracking adults who used marijuana and those who didn't, the researchers found that users had about 20% more sex than abstainers. That looks like a pretty significant jump in frisky business!
However, the study's data was somewhat limited. Because the researchers didn't collect information about when participants were using marijuana relative to when their sexual activity occurred, it's hard to say there's a direct link between weed and libido just based on this study alone. For example, if a participant smoked in the morning and had sex in the evening, the link between marijuana and their sexual activity seems less compelling than if they were enjoying cannabis with their partner before heading to the bedroom. Still, perhaps relaxing with a little marijuana at any time of the day might do the trick to help you get in the mood.
Although researchers have yet to prove a direct causal relationship between cannabis and heightened libido, there is evidence to suggest that cannabinoids may have a more pronounced effect on women. According to sex therapist Lawrence Siegel, the cannabinoid THC may directly target the part of a woman's brain that drives desire. So, while the jury is still out on the question of marijuana and libido, early research points to a link between using cannabis and more desire for sex.
Does Marijuana Improve or Increase Orgasm?
While you may have heard of (or experienced) longer and more intense orgasms while using cannabis, we don't yet have a lot of data that proves weed really does enhance sex. After all, slowed-down euphoric bliss does sound a lot like just being high.
However, there is one study that suggests a link between cannabis and a more intense female orgasm. The smart vibrator company Lioness has created a product that can sense and record a woman's orgasm based on the contractions of her pelvic floor muscles. On their blog, they published compelling orgasm data from several women showing climax was reached more quickly and lasted longer when they had smoked or ingested marijuana. If you've ever wanted to see orgasms represented in graph form, their blog is a real treat. Of course, more research on the topic is still needed to definitively prove marijuana's effects on sexual desire and pleasure, but early signs all point to yes.
Can Marijuana Cause Sexual Dysfunction?
So far, the link between cannabis and a better sex life is looking pretty sunny, but what about the other rumors out there? As much as we love marijuana, we wouldn't be doing our job if we didn't explore the possibility of negative side effects for some folks. For starters, is it true that cannabis can cause erectile dysfunction?
So far, none of the studies that have been conducted have found a link between marijuana and erectile dysfunction. Common causes of erectile dysfunction include heart disease, high blood pressure, obesity, diabetes, and high cholesterol. Although some doctors believe that smoking marijuana in conjunction with tobacco use may cause erectile dysfunction, taking action to tackle the known causes of ED will likely have a better impact on men's sexual performance than cutting out cannabis.
There is however, some evidence that cannabis can lower a man's sperm count. A small recent study found that a higher concentration of THC in urine correlated to a lower sperm count. Depending on your personal family-planning goals, this might sound like good news, bad news, or not really interesting news at all, but don't throw your condoms out yet! As of this writing, no research has been published that suggests these lower sperm counts in THC users might actually have an effect on fertilization or the quality of the sperm.
There may be some negative side-effects for women too. Certain strains of weed can dry up the mucous membranes in our bodies, which is the cause of that familiar cottonmouth sensation. This same feeling can occur present in the vagina as well. For some women, vaginal dryness caused by marijuana can cause serious discomfort during sex. Luckily, this issue can be easily relieved with a bit of lube, and drinking more water won't hurt either.
Cannabis and Your Bedroom
While scientists have yet to conclusively determine exactly how cannabis affects our sex lives, you have the power to get all the data on what you enjoy. Experiment with a partner or on your own to see how marijuana changes your sexual desire and experience. Make sure you don't get too high; while sitting on the couch like a giggly puddle might be fun, it's not always the sexiest vibe. On that note, if you are new to edibles use them with caution, as they can have more powerful effects than smoking or vaping.
Budtender and sexpert Chelsea Cebara tells Thrillist that finding the right strain is absolutely essential to having a great stoned sack session. "If you smoke a strain that is the wrong one for you, you can become nauseated, uncomfortable, and that's not what you want. The right strain is going to make you more aware of your body. This is really important. You want something that's not going to be too foggy, something that won't cause you anxiety. Good strains for sex are ones that maintain mental clarity while giving you a relaxing body high." She goes on to suggest that, in her experience, indica strains are the best for sex.
At the end of the day, everyone is different and sexuality is a wide and beautifully varied spectrum. We all feel marijuana's effects a little differently, and one person's bliss may not suit you. Trust and listen to your body, and use cannabis in the way that best benefits you.
