Interview Transcript
Interviewer: A cancer expert's take on Taylor Swifts' mom's cancer. And the take away message from this story. That's coming up next on The Scope.
Announcer: Medical news and research from the University of Utah physicians and specialists you can use, for a happier and healthier life. You're listening to The Scope.
Interviewer: Taylor Swift announced on social media today that her mother has been diagnosed with cancer. Other than, that they're not really saying a whole lot of what's going on and we wanted to find out, perhaps, what type of cancer she might have.
Another interesting part of the story is, apparently Taylor had talked to her mom about going to get a screening, had actually kind of hassled her into it. And now as a result they may have caught the cancer in time.
Dr. Theresa Werner is a medical oncologist, I mean, she is a women's cancer expert at Huntsman Cancer Institute. First of all, any thoughts as to what type of cancer a 57-year-old woman might have had. I understand you don't have any medical history into that sort of thing.
Dr. Werner: Well if we look at the most common cancers in women in the United States, breast cancer is the number one cancer that we see in women. Lung cancer is the second most common and colorectal would be the third most common type of cancer.
So I would think that those are all likely cancers in someone who is in there late 50s.
Interviewer: Yeah. And she also said that her mom didn't have any symptoms as well, felt perfectly healthy. So they were kind of surprised. Does that lead you into any other conclusions?
Dr. Werner: Yeah, I mean hopefully that's a good sign. That if someone is asymptomatic and doesn't have symptoms, that perhaps the cancer is early. But that's a good message, for everyone to know, that you can have cancer and still not have any symptoms.
So it really is a good idea to go in and get checked on a regular basis, have a physical exam by your primary care physician. If you think about someone who's healthy and goes in for a regular exam, perhaps they felt a breast mass or perhaps she had a cough or they heard something on lung exam that would have prompted additional testing.
A woman in their 50s, she should have had a colonoscopy by now. She should have had a mammogram by now. Those kinds of things.
Interviewer: What ages should you have those particular tests?
Dr. Werner: Yeah, that's a really good question. We recommend that everyone start having a colonoscopy at age 50 and depending on what they find, will determine the interval of how often you should have a colonoscopy. Obviously, if you have any concerning symptoms of bleeding, or abnormal stools, you should have a colonoscopy earlier, or if you have a family history.
For breast cancer, there's a little bit of debate on how early you should have a mammogram. Pretty much routinely, all agencies feel like all women should have screening mammograms, at least starting at age 50. Unless, of course, they have a family history, then we would recommend them getting screened earlier.
Interviewer: I think that a good message from this is, get those screenings, if you haven't gotten those screenings. If you're somebody's daughter, and mom's not getting it done, much like Taylor Swift's case, what would you say to them?
Dr. Werner: The important thing is, is we have these screening tests to find cancer early so that we can treat it early, and have a better outcome. Then a lot of these things we do are preventative as well, so ideally we'd want to prevent cancer before we detect it.
So it's very important for people to talk about these things, because I find that in the cancer world, most people don't want to talk about it. It's a scary thing. If you can talk about it, bring it to the fore front. Make people aware that there're things they can do for prevention or catching it early, that's very important.

In addition to this, Hania herself is warm and friendly, passionate about what she does and extremely knowledgeable. I can't imagine it would be possible to attend her sessions without feeling a significant positive change in your outlook and sense of wellbeing."

Is it just me, or does it feel like over the last 5 or so years, the NFL has had a major conflict surrounding the league and generating negative press for the NFL. Weather its arguing over a catch or not a catch, how they have handled the issues of domestic abuse, or throwing too many flags and being called a soft league by their own players, the NFL just cant seem to figure things out. This year, the big issue through the first month of the season has been the excessive use of the flag for roughing the passer. While the NFL is still extremely popular, I wonder if fans will start to get fed up with all the flags being thrown during games.
Flags have by flying out of the pockets of NFL officials a lot this season. It seems like anytime a defensive player even touches a quarterback, they get a flag. If you just look at the roughing the passer calls in the last 10 years, the most times that call has been made in a season was 2015 when 90 calls were made. So far through 3 weeks we have already had 25 calls of roughing the passer. At this rate, we are on track to pass last years mark of 70 calls by week 9 and pass the 2015 record of 90 by week 11. So why are the calls increasing at such an exponential rate? The reason for the uptick in the penalties is the NFL is trying to protect the Quarterback and keep its biggest stars healthy and on the field. In the last 2 seasons, we have seen some of the biggest names go out due to injury because of the way they were hit. Most notable is Green Bay Quarterback Aaron Rodgers who had his 2017 season ended after he took a big shot from Minnesota's Anthony Barr resulting in a broken collar bone.
The NFL realized that they could not afford to go through a season without a name like Aaron Rodgers, and the Packers went from NFC favorites to an ordinary team without their star QB. Others included Deshawn Watson, who was having an incredible start to his young career before tearing his ACL in practice, Carson Wentz, who was on his way to his 1st NFL MVP award tore his trying to score against the Rams, and most recently Jimmy Garoppolo, who tore his ACL while running for a 1st down this past week.
Quarterback are getting hurt at a higher rate than they were in the past, and the league wanted to try to keep their most valuable assets safe. While the rule has defiantly made a difference to say the least, it has caused controversy with the defensive players in the league, as they are not sure how to do their jobs without getting penalized. Funny enough, we have already had 2 controversial calls surrounding this rule. The first example came in week 2 at the end of the Vikings vs Packers game. As QB Kirk Cousins went to unload a deep pass down field, he was hit by LB Clay Matthews who tackled him to the ground as the Packers intercepted the pass and appeared to have won the game.
As you can see, Matthews made what he believed to be a clean football hit by not using the crown of the helmet to hit Cousins, and even bracing himself on the way down to make sure his full body weight was not on the Quarterback. Non-the-less he was flagged and the Vikings ended up tying the game later in the quarter, and the game would eventually end in a tie. After the game, Matthews was quoted as saying "I have been playing this game for 20 years and now I am not sure how I am supposed to do my job".
The 2nd instance involved Matthews again just 1 week later against Washington. Matthews was going in for a sack on Redskins QB Alex Smith, and he tackled him with his full force, driving Smith into the ground. Again Matthews was flagged for the play and again he was extremely un-happy with the call, however I think the officials did get this call right, as Matthews did not brace himself, and landed with his full weight on top of the Quarterback.
So what exactly is a 260+ pound man running at full speed supposed to do in this situation? Is he supposed to slow down and not hit as hard? Is he supposed to not hit the Quarterback? If he does, then how do you stop the Quarterback if you can hit him? All these questions have been brought up by defensive players across the league who feel like the league is getting "soft". Others question how they are supposed to change the way they have been taught their whole life. But the real problem is the inconsistency with the calls that are being made. The 2 Clay Matthews plays were completely different and yet they were penalized the same?!? This is where I think the problem is for the NFL. If you cant tell the difference between a legal football play and an illegal hit, how are the players supposed to train for it? The league needs to do what it has done with the catch rule, and that is sit down and lay out exactly what makes a hit considered roughing the passer, and what makes it a clean football hit.
Personally I am getting tired of seeing flags fly all over the field constantly for just accidentally hitting someone the wrong way or being pushed into a quarterback. The NFL has the power to make things better and I believe they will. However if they let this go on for much longer, this will just be another problem added to the NFL's list of issues they have and need to fix. If they don't address this issue, I fear fans will start to get bored from seeing penalty after penalty slow they game down and make it less exciting. One of the biggest problems with sports in todays world is the length of games. People don't want to watch a 4 hour game with 20+ penalties being called, they want to see football be played. At the end of the day it comes down to this, the NFL just has to be better. They have to be better with the way they make calls, better on clarifying their own rules, and better on the way they protect their players without taking away what people love most about the game. I cant imagine it being an easy task to accomplish, but with all the money, people, and resources that the NFL has, I think they can figure something out.

armed forces day
June 29th was Armed Forces day and was also the hottest day of the year and perhaps one of the hottest days ever in Reading!
The Mayor had organised a celebration of our Armed Forces in Forbury Gardens and we had a stall to spread the word about what we do.
We had a prime spot next to the grandstand and were entertained all day with music - everything from Vera Lynn and Gracie Fields, to the Beatles and more classical numbers.
We raised some money with our lollipop game and handed out many leaflets. And indulged in an ice cream - or two!
winnersh fete 2019
Another fun filled day at Winnersh Fete.
Despite strong winds and occasional showers, it was another successful event. We had a tombola, lolly competition as well as some items for sale.
It's always a pleasure to hear peoples excitement at winning a prize, especially when it is something they wanted. They always appreciate the quality of the items.
The picture shows some committee members sporting our new t-shirts.
camp mohawk 2019
Today we put smiles on children's faces!
Smiles of excitement as they journeyed on the coach. Smiles of recognition when they met up with their friends. Smiles of awe while stroking the farm animals. Smiles of glee splashing about in the pool. Giggles aplenty at the magician. Even the ice-cream smeared mouths could not hide the beaming smiles!
And it was not just the children who smiled. The parents and carers were unanimous in expressing their pleasure at having the opportunity to join in with all the fun that Camp Mohawk has to offer. One Mum told us that the day had restored her belief that there is kindness in the world. What an honour.
The wonderful, kind, patient, fun-loving staff at Camp Mohawk ensured a truly memorable experience for everyone. It was delightful to see the children running freely and exploring in the woodland environment. Their joy in all the different experiences offered was uplifting.
Reading Family Aid also provided additional activities. The mobile farm Basil and Crew gave the children chance to engage with rabbits, ducks, lambs, kids and a giant tortoise (to name but a few). Uncle Charlie had the children chuckling away with his antics. And the ice-cream man ensured a sweet end to the proceedings.
I must thank Sallie and Roz (first rate coach monitor) from the outings committee for their support in planning the event and on the day. Thanks to Tracey and Liz for joining in the fun. And thank you to all the committee for their unique roles in making this happen.
And a great big thank you to our partner agencies who found the families who smiled all day long.
On Monday 20th May we received the very exciting news that we had been selected as one of the Mayor's charities for this year. This means that we will benefit from the Mayor's charity fundraising during his year in office and his support at any events that we hold.
Ruth and Wendy attended the Council AGM and the Mayor Making ceremony. In his speech the Mayor, Cllr Paul Woodward, said that he chose us because of the help we provide to the many disadvantaged families in Reading. He said that it is astonishing to understand that despite Reading being one of the seemingly most affluent towns in the country, there is so much deprivation to be found, with about a quarter of Reading's children living in poverty.
In the pictures, the Mayor making his speech and Ruth and Wendy (sporting their t-shirts with the new RFA logo!) are with the Mayor and Matt Rodda, Reading East MP.
forbury fiesta
On a reasonably dry day on May 11th we had a stall at the Forbury Fiesta which was the first day of the children's Festival. Wendy, Roz and Jaime manned the stall with the lollipop game and a lucky dip and Jaime did some face painting. Only one torrential downpour for a few minutes.
Wendy can be seen sporting our new t-shirts with our new logo and also Jaime painted the logo on Wendy's face!
We managed to raise £110 and hopefully spread the word on what we do and our new logo.
earley green fair
Last weekend we were at Earley Green Fair, and what a day it was! All our volunteers worked extremely hard and managed to raise a whopping £1,002.46! A record for Reading Family Aid 🎉
It was another gloriously warm and sunny day which really brought in the crowds. We had our usual 3 slots and with the help of two large gazebos and a very big tree we were luckily under the shade most of the time.
We were pleased that most of the children's jigsaws, games, toys and books, all the tombola tickets, all the jams and chutneys, a great deal of bric-a-brac and most of the books were sold. We also sold a number of raffle tickets - fantastic!
Huge thanks to everyone that supported us. The proceeds will go towards next year's outings.
Also a reminder that we are still selling raffle tickets with some great prizes up for grabs! Tickets are just £1 each and can be bought by calling 07930 033413 or emailing Reading Family Aid on email@example.com
Bournemouth summer outing
We are delighted to say that our annual Summer Outing was thoroughly enjoyed by all the families and volunteers who came along.
The lovely sunny weather, that we had been having for weeks continued, though we had made contingency plans for families to use the exciting activities of Rock Reef, in case the heat wave broke before our visit.
We had a bit of a blip when one of the coaches broke down on the M3, but we all arrived safely in time to enjoy the perfect 'seaside day'. The temperature and light breeze provided the ideal conditions to build sandcastles, paddle or swim, eat ice cream and or just sit on the Pier and relax.
Many of the families also tried the climbing walls, pier cave and vertical drop slide, Mums and Dads being encouraged by their children to have a go as well, with varying degrees of enjoyment/fear!
We received some lovely feedback, one saying that for two of the families, including the Mums, it was the first time that they had ever seen the sea, and talked of their excitement at jumping in the waves.
It seemed that our reminders about sun cream and hats were heeded as families climbed aboard the coaches for the return journey, tired but happy and not sun burnt 😊
Your continued support allows us to make memories like these for disadvantaged families in your area.

On a glorious sunny afternoon on June 1st, we had a tea party to celebrate the 90th birthday of our longest serving committee member, Vera Box (on the left in the photo below). Vera has been involved in Reading Family Aid since the 1970s, so at least 40 years!
Joining Vera in her celebration was her husband Don, who has also been involved for many years since he retired nearly 30 years ago, current committee members and also two special guests: Christine Bland who worked with Vera at Katesgrove House and was involved with RFA going back to the late 60s and Joe Wise, who was the deputy editor of The Reading Chronicle in the late 1990s and early 2000s and was instrumental in spreading the word of the Toy Appeal far and wide. He worked with Vera and Don at that time when Vera was Chair.
The committee presented Vera with a card and flowers and we all sang Happy Birthday as the birthday cake was brought in.

Finastra – unlocking the potential of open banking
At Finastra we see a future in which financial services provision is all about improving customer experience. Customer expectations have changed. Today's banking customer, whether an individual, a business or a corporate, expects its bank to provide a personalized service, use the latest technologies to offer a great customer experience and provide relevant products appropriate to their individual requirements… all of this as well as offering optimal pricing and collaborating with other companies to deliver new innovations.
Staying ahead of new technologies is a constant challenge for banks. For many their core systems are mission-critical applications at the heart of their business operations and it's often a lengthy and complex process to upgrade or replace them. Meanwhile new banks and big technology companies including Google, Amazon, Facebook and Apple are challenging the status quo with new and innovative payments and banking services.
As the world of financial services has changed, we've changed our approach to the way in which financial software is written, deployed and consumed. Our goal is to provide an open platform for innovation in financial services, using the latest standards and technologies. FusionFabric.cloud is our 'platform-as-a-service' solution that brings together a wide eco-system of banks, developers, Fintechs, academic institutions and systems integrators to build, sell and consume a new generation of financial apps.
As part of this unique strategy we have opened our own core systems to third-parties to build their own apps, safe in the knowledge that they can develop and test them in a proven banking system environment. With more than 60 APIs available, and more that 300 Fintechs registered on the platform, FusionFabric.cloud is making great strides in stimulating co-operation and co-innovation.
Technology as an important enabler of financial services, not only in developed markets where there is access to the most sophisticated financial institutions and services they offer, but also in those areas where financial inclusion continues to be a major concern. With 1.7 billion* unbanked adults in the world and an estimated $1.5 trillion trade finance gap*, there is a role for technology to play in lifting people out of poverty and helping them to participate in the global economy.
From mobile banking applications that help millions in rural areas to access banking services on their telephones, to blockchain marketplaces that can certify the provenance of goods and facilitate loans and trade; financial software is helping bring banking services to previously underserved populations, and financing to those who need it most.
Our vision is to unlock the potential of people, businesses and communities everywhere. We believe that the future of finance is open, and that collaboration and co-innovation are the key to success.

Bolivia has an ecological variety that is quite unusual for a country of its size. From the high Andes to Salar de Uyuni, the world's largest salt flat; from the Amazon Rainforest to the high Titicaca Lake, the must see places in Bolivia are some of the favorite tourist destinations. It has an unbelievable wealth of natural treasures, from unique, strange and exotic landscapes to exotic wildlife inhabiting the Chaco region in the eastern lowlands. Anyone planning for a trip to this beautiful land with forests, lakes and archaeological sites, should not miss the vibrant city life as well. Cities like La Paz, El Alto, and Cochabamba are must see places in Bolivia with a very hospitable group of people.
Geographically, Bolivia is located in the South American continent, surrounded by Paraguay and Argentina in the south, Chile and Peru to the west and Brazil to the north and the west. It is a completely landlocked country, though the Atlantic can be approached by the Paraguay River. Bolivia has been a trouble zone for most of its history, which has also had an adverse effect on the economy. However, the present government is intent on harnessing the immense natural resources of the country and making it economically stronger. In this context, the tourism industry has come up as one of the best options for revenue generation. Other than just the must see places in Bolivia, which makes the country more attractive is the presence of ethnic groups like Quechuas, Aymaras, and Guaranis. In Bolivia, you can even take part in the cultural festivals of these groups. In fact, various tourists and travelers only visit this country to peep into the ancient past and originate from these ethnic groups.
Bolivia is extremely rich in natural beauty and has some of the most picturesque spots in the world, making it an endearing destination for travelers from all across the globe. One of the greatest must see places in Bolivia is the Salar de Uyuni, a fascinating sea of salt that has no equals in the world. You can also see the Jurassic remains at the Parque National Park, an ancient isolated region. Lake Titicaca is a place where natural grandeur meets local history and myth. Heritage tourism of Bolivia is also very popular, with a number of pre-Columbian ruins distributed all over the area. Samaipata, an excellent tourist destination in Bolivia, is a gateway to these pre-Inca ruins. Do not forget to visit the colorful cities of Bolivia, particularly Sucre and San Ignacio de Moxos.
Other than this, the culture of the country is also interesting. The ethnic groups of Bolivia play a major role in determining the culture of the country. The heritage and culture are in fact very much evident from the architectures available in Bolivia. Like most South American countries, the culture of Bolivia is a great amalgamation of Catholic and indigenous traditions. This has resulted in the construction of various catholic churches in the country, which are also must see places in Bolivia. It is also the home of a number of pre-Columbian sites with some significant archaeological ruins. Jewelry making, weaving and stone carving are some of the crafts in which the Bolivians have traditionally excelled.
Best Time to Visit
Bolivia experiences a great climatic variety ranging from the high humidity to chilling cold. November to April is the rainy season. It is best to avoid Bolivia during this time because inland transportation becomes extremely difficult. However, during the wintertime in the months between May and October, Bolivia is a wonderful place to visit. Bolivia has a well-developed road network system, and you can easily explore the country in buses and cars.
List of must see places in Bolivia:
- Andes
- Salar de Uyuni
- Amazon Rainforest
- Titicaca Lake
- Parque National Park
- La Paz
- El Alto
- Cochabamba

ESL Pro League Season 4
ESL has started yet another season of their Pro League, and they are definitely not planning on stopping their train. Not even close. As they released the full schedule of events two days ago, now we can see it unfold before us. All the 28 teams are already, and will be battling each other in the race for the $750.000 prize pool that ESL has put on the table.
As we slowely dig into this two month event, we already have seen the bigger players; Virtus.pro and Ninjas in Pyjamas unloading their clips . As Virtus.pro destroyed GODSENT on a best of 3, 2-0, they have qualified for the Pro League. Now, they have already taken on Ninjas in Pyjamas. Grabbing the first win on Nuke 16:8, Ninjas in Pyjamas was in the lead. Virtus.pro did not let loose, coming back to score a close victory on Overpass 19:17 and showing that they can pull off anything.
These were not the first matches of the day, though. Those were casted by Team X and FaZe Clan. Without a doubt, FaZe Clan took two triumphs, 16:13 on Train and 16:5 on Mirage. They will now be playing against Virtus.pro, as Team X faces Ninjas in Pyjamas.
All of this only in the Europe. Now let's take a look at North America!
Just like on the Europe side, there has already been four matches. Let's start off with Cloud9 vs Team Liquid. Cloud9 won both of the matches, getting great results on Cobblestone, 16:8, and Dust 2, 16:10. Cloud9 might be coming back with a blast this time round!
The next match took place on Mirage and Train as OpTic took it to the next level and utterly annihilated compLexity, scoring 16:4 and 16:6. The next matches are still being decided on this side, though. Since the wildcards are still going for North America, and they will be decided soon.
The next set of matches start today and very soon. So rush to the broadcasts and watch as the scores count up! Also, if you have missed out on any matches, you can always check the official ESL schedule list, as well as the match sum ups on HLTV.

Pete Little's recent article "Why this Christian supports President Trump" (Oct. 30) speaks to the difficulty many of us have had in understanding evangelicals' strong support of this president. Donald Trump, Franklin Graham and similar others are exemplars of how espousing "Christianity" can be used for self-glorification and enrichment. Trump's behavior in particular is the opposite of Christ's recommendations to give away our riches and to care for the needs of the poor.
Trump's extreme narcissism makes him unable to admit wrongdoing, ask forgiveness or repent, but should we allow that flaw to be an excuse for the harm that he repeatedly does to other people? Christians evangelize others to join them in believing in Christ's teachings, but supporting leaders like Trump sends the opposite message.
Bullying, name-calling, fear-mongering and seeking the help of foreign leaders in our elections do not represent Jesus' methods for raising up mankind. Christians should consider that adulating leaders with non-Christian behaviors may partially explain why the percentage of the U.S. population reporting "no religion" has increased from about 8% to 23.1% since 1989, while evangelicals have declined to 22.5% and mainline Christians from more than 20% to 11%.

14 Mar Does It Spark Joy: Tidying Up the Soul
Next year I'll do the cocktails on the beach thing, I tell myself as I sign up for Path of Love for my 29th birthday. This year, I'm cleaning up. It's not my first self-development retreat and, judging by my track record – ashram-ing in India, anyone? – it won't be my last.
What drove me to attend a mysterious weeklong course about which there really isn't all that much information available online? I lead a comfortable life, yet…it's not enough. Groundhog Day comes to mind. Same faces, same mindless chats, same commute. Frankly, that can't be it; I'm pretty sure I'm not on this planet just to eat miserable salads and talk about the weather.
But, never mind that. This is, after all, a story about love. And like all tales of love, it begins with a little bit of delusion. In my case, it begins with a Pinterest board featuring the beautiful Welsh scenery I'd be wandering, a mug of steaming hot tea in hand, and the cosy earth tone garments I'd be wearing in Wales (think: Barbra Streisand at a yoga retreat) while comfortably, breezily even, reaching the enlightenment that had eluded me for ten years prior.
Little did I know then that I'd be spending the week wearing one thing above all: My reluctant heart on my sleeve.
Rising action
"Ready?" our fearless leader asks. I clearly wasn't. Let me just wait for Stockholm Syndrome to fully kick in, I wanted to quip, but using sarcasm to camouflage lack of confidence and downplay insecurity would be, so I assumed, frowned upon at a retreat geared solely towards putting down those masks we've all become so comfortable wearing in our everyday lives.
Well, great. There goes my primary defense mechanism. Instead of cracking jokes, I hold onto my oversized scarf like one would to a lifebuoy while drowning, and step in front of the group.
I share. Then I cry. Despite knowing, intellectually, that we're all a little nuts, I'm deeply convinced that I am the messiest person to ever exist.
As everyone takes turns sharing, I listen to perfect strangers bare their deepest and darkest secrets and not for one second do I think: Whoa, okay, you really are horrible, huh? On the contrary, I feel more connected to them. Hell, I have, in the meantime, made it my job to witness other people be their real selves and every single time it happens I leave the encounter cherishing and appreciating them even more, wishing they would allow themselves to see how truly and utterly breathtaking their true selves are.
Why is it then, that while I deem others courageous for sharing their shadow selves – the parts we spend the majority of our time hiding from each other – I remain certain that there is no way anyone could get a glimpse of mine and still love me? How can I spend most of my day cheering others on as they slowly step into their authentic selves, while still holding onto the idea that, somehow, that same principle isn't true for me? Sure, it's cool for others to be their rawest, most vulnerable selves, but there is no way I could ever trick anyone into accepting me without the bells and whistles. Right?
Falling action
I check my little in-lieu-of-an-iPhone pocket watch (you didn't think we'd be allowed phones, did ya?) that still stubbornly displays GMT-1 and refuses to adjust to the now, just like its mama. Not even noon yet and I'm already worn out. Of course I am. And it isn't due to travel and or not sleeping much; it's the cumulative exhaustion of spending a ridiculous amount of time trying to manage an experience that was never designed to be controlled (that experience being the thing we routinely refer to as life).
Given that I'd spent the last few years analysing the hell out of what I lovingly refer to as «boundary issues in high-functioning women», it will come as a surprise to no one that I love intellectualising deeply non-intellectual issues. Yet, here, for the first time in ages, my inner chronicler whose sole raison d'être is to critically narrate every event transpiring in my orbit, has, all of a sudden, gone completely quiet. And gooddamnit, it's nice to finally be able to breathe.
It's nice to be witnessed. It's nice to defiantly tell someone to leave you alone – not because you truly want to be left alone, but because you've never learned how to voice your true needs, lest they not be met – and to have them not just refuse, but hug you even harder. Most of all, and trust me, I didn't think I'd ever say that, it's kinda nice to be a messy human, going through a whole spectrum of messy human emotion in front of an audience of similarly human humans.
What I didn't know when I first stepped into Buckland Hall with that big insecure smile plastered on my face was that ahead of me I had seven days of screaming and bawling my eyes out. "The Chilling in Wales" Pinterest board is but a distant memory.
I'm not going to lie; for most of the week my spirit was in shards, but sometimes that's just how spirits need to be. It's like Rumi says: Gamble everything for love, if you are a true human being. If not, leave this gathering.

Over-Thinkers spot-on with trivia
The winners take home the not-so coveted trophy, the Golden Head of Knowledge.
Oct. 12, 2010
At the end of a competition, once sweat is dried and tears are wiped away, winners gain bragging rights and often hoist a trophy signifying their triumph over their heads - unless, of course, the trophy is too embarrassing to be seen in public.
Lewie, familiarly known as Lew, is the infamous "Golden Head of Knowledge" awarded to the winning team in the annual School of Health Professions' Trivia Night, which took place last Tuesday, Oct. 5. The giant gold skull positioned on a tiger-striped obelisk was recently awarded to the Over-Thinkers.
Comprised of SHP faculty members Ryan and Laura Verkamp, Jill Diener, Nicole Whyte, Sophie Whyte, Gary Cox, Jeff Whyte and Dale Wilcox, the Over-Thinkers took home their first trivia night victory after defeating members of team I Knew That, who have won the competition the past two years.
The proceeds from the event go towards the SHP's general scholarship fund. Event orchestrator Jeneva Powell said that though small, the event is a fun opportunity for students, faculty and staff to interact with each other.
"Since space is an issue at Lewis Hall, we only have room for 10 tables," Powell said. "It's a shame, since I would like to grow the event and keep it reasonable in cost for students and alumni to attend."
The annual event naturally allows a lot time for preparation, but Jill Diener, Over-Thinkers team member and SHP academic advisor, said this year's winners didn't practice at all.
"I think I have competed in the SHP Trivia Night four times, (but) this is the first year I have participated where my team didn't prepare," Diener said. "I guess we just had luck on our side."
Powell is responsible for picking the questions asked and begins the large task by compiling ideas immediately after each trivia night takes place.
"Many come from my brain and little nuggets of information I pick up here and there," she said. "I also keep the questions stored away year after year, so I never repeat a question."
Categories also must be determined to test competitors' knowledge of a variety of facts and topics. Powell prepares 10 questions in each themed round.
"This year there were six rounds with a few bonus questions," Powell said. "On a typical trivia night, there is a round on sports, general MU trivia, etc. I have a pop culture round (and) an equivalent of 'Are You Smarter Than A 5th Grader?' called 'Things You Should Have Learned in School.'"
Cox , a first-time Over-Thinkers member and reference archivist for the University Archives, had no expectations for the competition but was happy to help the team.
"I'm not nearly as current on popular music and culture as I was in the past, (so the hardest part of the competition was) realizing how many facts I have forgotten over the years," Cox said.
Although the Over-Thinkers will have their names engraved on Lewie's base, no member is eager to keep him. But Diener does know she will celebrate the victory MU style.
"I have to admit that since winning, our team has been arguing about who has to take Lewie, the traveling trophy," she said. "He's pretty ugly. But (now that I've won, I'll) go to Disney World. Not really, but I will take the pom-pom that was included in our gift bags and use it to cheer on the Tigers."

Eventfinda tickets no longer on sale
RIMA is the 5th major album from Moana and was co-written and produced by Paddy Free (Pitch Black, Nga Tae, Moana & the Tribe). Just back from Scotland, Moana & the Tribe is a band itching to show off their new Dub-soul-Haka grooves repertoire.
And the Galatos on Sunday, Sept 28 will be the place to catch the band described by the NZ Herald as a 'main stage standout' at Womad NZ. Put it down to drummer Micky Ututaonga in collusion with dubster Paddy Free - it's an edgier, more energetic pulse driving the female harmonies and haka. This is kaupapa-driven, NZ roots music like no other.
RIMA is all about exploring and celebrating people power. From 'Warrior Woman' to 'Whole Worlds Watching' to 'Upokohue,' to House of Strife (with guest artist Don McGlashan), Moana & the Tribe will be playing their entire album for the first time.
Join Moana & the Tribe at the Galatos on Sunday, September 28. Before and after they play, Moana will introduce two rising stars she's keeping her eye on. Catch popular young reggae band Ihi at 6pm just before Moana & the Tribe. Then T.K, the young man with the smooth voice will finish the night.
Vocals: Moana Maniapoto,
Vocals: Trina Maniapoto
Keys: Paddy Free
Guitar: Cadzow Cossar
Bass: Marika Hodgson
Drums/Vocals: Mickey Ututaonga
Haka: Kemara Kennedy, Laurence Kershaw, Tamihana Morunga
IHI is a young reggae band whose founders met through Nga Tauira Maori at Auckland University. Now the duo of vocalist Thomas Rawiri (Ngapuhi, Tainui) and guitarist Mokoia Huata (Ngati Kahungunu) has morphed into a 6 piece band working towards their 1st release this summer. And Kimiora Jackson, (Ngati Porou, Tuwharetoa, Te Arawa) their student president at the time, is managing them.
T.K is a 20 year old with the voice of a 40 year old, the kind that stops you in your tracks. Crafting his original songs and being mentored by the likes of Warren Maxwell and Tama Waipara, Te Karehana Gardiner-Toi is one to watch.

Vision for the Poor is a non-profit organization started in 1990 as the Pennsylvania chapter of the Volunteer Optometric Service to Humanity, with sole purpose of performing short-term mission trips to treat refractive error in Central America and Haiti. We soon realized that mission trip eye care was woefully inadequate to address the unmet surgical needs of poor third world populations.
In 1995 we began our first development project by partnering with Guatemalan ophthalmologists and optometrists to build an eye hospital in the northern region of Guatemala. Through leveraged partnerships we then helped build the Visualiza Eye Hospital System which today provides 25% of the eye care for the country. We have helped build the primary care and surgical capacity of eye hospitals in Latin America, Haiti, and most recently in several countries in Africa.
Today our main goal is the delivery of primary eye care and reduction of refractive error in large, poor populations through building of vision centers. Vision centers are clinics staffed by one optometrist along with a small staff located in catchment regions of our partner eye hospitals.

Not Every MCM Home is a 'Frank Lloyd Wright'

Fire District burgled, has to borrow equipment
February 20, 2019
Someone who may be a serial fire station burglar has hit a Klickitat County Fire District 3 station repeatedly, most recently on Feb. 18 when he broke into Station 32 and stole several expensive pieces of equipment. That robbery forced the district to have to borrow critical equipment from mutual-aid organizations to fight a fire that same day. The thief may have been the suspect encountered and interrupted during a burglary attempt at the same station on Jan. 26.
Station 32 is an unstaffed volunteer fire station that houses three to four critical vehicles that serve the entire lower and upper Snowden area, Catherine Creek, and Courtney Road communities. Inside this facility are certified...

So I finally have some time to play. I have all the latest mods, but I get connection refused when I try to connect to the server. Could anybody help me?
EDIT: NVM it was just my MC having problems.
So I finally have some time to play. I have all the latest mods, but I get connection refused when I try to connect to the server. Could anybody help me?
EDIT: NVM it was just my MC having problems.
Yey, checked the thread today and we have finally got to "beta stage"!
I'll see tomorrow if I'll be able to join or if my RAM pukes on me. See you in-game!
Taco out
My first reply to this thread. YEY
I think that Kirrara should be GT HardMode oriented, so any mod that is added needs to either be native GT HM compatible, or be tweaked to become GT HM compatible.
TC4: Haven't played Thaumcraft since 1.4.7 so I don't know anything about this mod anymore, if the rest of the server thinks that it will fit, then add it. I don't really care.
Hunger Mods: Nope, nope, nope, nope. Sorry for the negativity, but even now on the server if I try to run more than 500 meter my hunger meter gets to zero. I do support mods that add more foods with different attributes if the rest of the players wants them.
Galacticraft Planets(Mars): This has been my biggest concern. As I'm running MC currently on a crappy laptop I have very little RAM to dedicate to MC. The problem is that I can't even load the game if I have Galacticraft Planets installed because it takes far too much RAM. I do understand that some people will want to keep it, but if it's possible I'd like it to be removed.
One last request: Please do try to keep the RAM requirement under 1.2 GB. If it goes over I won't be able to play.
Taco out.
After installing Galacticraft I'm getting an error saying: No GalacticarftCore found.
I have installed all three Galacticraft packages correctly. Any ideas?
Edit: Fixed it. My galacticraft was corrupted
So I haven't logged in for some time now. Mostly due to IRL stuff.
So I need to update most of my mods, but I can't seem to find a Iron Chest dl that is the right version. On the official dl it only gives me 1.7.2 versions. Could somebody post their version so that I can download it.
Well I haven't checked on RotaryCraft as I have been gone from MC for some time, so I didn't know about it's unbalance and lag issues.
I just wanted to point out that this may be something to consider as it's quite good looking.
(I don't really like how the GT fusion reactor looks like..... sorry Greg)
I haven't been logged in for quite some time now, mostly because of IRL and other games (Kerbal why do you do this to me), but recently I went to check the Feed The Beast sub reddit and I found something interesting: http://forum.feed-the-beast.co…uld-you-build-this.40763/
That thing to me look like a real beasty Fussion reactor. So my idea is why not manually replace the GT reactor with this one(only for the our server that is, not for the official GT mod). I'm not so good with this kind of stuff, but I'd love feedback from those who are more experienced.

Experience Oxfordshire has announced John Simpson CBE as keynote speaker at the annual Cultural Platform 2020. His speech will be followed by a conversation with Richard Venables DL, former High Sheriff of Oxfordshire 2018/19 and board member of Experience Oxfordshire.
Taking place amid the opulent surroundings of Heythrop Park Resort, the conversation will explore John's experiences gathered during his rich and varied career as a foreign correspondent for the BBC. The event will take place on 11 March and will be followed by a networking reception.
Paul Russell, Resort Director for Heythrop Park Resort said, "We are delighted to host the prestigious Cultural Platform this year. Heythrop Park Resort's story combines an 18th century manor house with a stylish, contemporary estate and we are conscious of our place within the wider story of Oxfordshire – combing the historic with the modern to create a unique sense of place. We very much look forward to John Simpson's stories of the many places he has reported from, and how they may have shaped him."
The Cultural Platform brings together Oxfordshire's cultural community to seek ways of encouraging and enabling the exploration of the county's cultural treasures by local people. Speakers from previous years have included then-Prime Minister David Cameron, author Philip Pullman, Arts Correspondent Will Gompertz, political broadcaster Robert Peston and Dame Helen Ghosh, Director General of the National Trust.
Commenting on the forthcoming event, Hayley Beer-Gamage, Chief Executive of Experience Oxfordshire said, "Our Cultural Platform is part of Experience Oxfordshire's continuing commitment to promoting culture and pride of place in Oxfordshire. It will be a privilege to share the perspective of a correspondent of the calibre of John Simpson CBE, and we are delighted to be holding it at Heythrop Park Resort which will provide a wonderful setting for this year's event."
