text: Felis ISSN 2398-2950 Insulin: pharmacology and formulations Contributor(s): Linda Horspool Introduction Properties Administration Introduction History Insulin Insulin (Latin insula meaning island) is produced by the Islets of Langerhans (by Paul Langerhans in 1869). Destruction of the insulin-producing cells leads to diabetes (by Eugene Opie in 1901). Pancreatic extract was shown to lower blood glucose in diabetic dogs in 1916 (by Nicolae Paulescu). Further research in the 1920s (by Frederick Banting and Charles Best) led to the first treatment of diabetes in humans in 1922 and manufacture of insulin by the company Eli Lilly. Structure Insulin was the first human protein to be sequenced (by Frederick Sanger in 1955). Insulin is a high molecular weight (human insulin 5808 Da) polypeptide hormone composed of 110 amino acids. Insulin is a dimer and consists of a 21-amino acid A chain and a 30-amino acid B chain linked by disulfide bonds. There is little variation in insulin structure between species – it is highly conserved. Variations in insulin structure between species alter the potency (blood glucose lowering effect) of insulin. Feline insulin is identical to porcine insulin and differs from human insulin by 1 key amino acid. Source Feline diabetes Diabetes mellitus is not an immune-mediatd disorder, and anti-insulin antibodies are not found commonly in diabetic cats. Insulin can be of animal origin, synthetic (recombinant) or a synthetic analog. Animal derived insulin is usually derived from swine pancreas. Animal derived insulin is highly purified (contains little or no other protein). Recombinant human insulin, made in bacteria, was first commercialized by Eli Lilly in 1982. Alteration of the amino acid sequence has been used to produce analogs of have insulin. Human insulin analogs can be shorter or longer acting than human insulin due to differences in pharmacokinetics (eg absorption). Route of administration Insulin cannot be administered orally because it is a peptide and would be broken down in the intestinal tract. Insulin is administered by injection. Most insulin products are administered by subcutaneous injection. A few (regular insulin) insulin products are suitable for intravenous infusion. Aim of treatment Insulin is administered for the treatment of relative or absolute deficiency of insulin leading to diabetes, which is characterized by chronic elevation of blood glucose (hyperglycemia) and associated clinical signs. The goals of insulin treatment are to reduce hyperglycemia and associated clinical signs, and to avoid hypoglycemia (lower than normal blood glucose), and, where appropriate, to achieve clinical remission. Formulation Insulin is short acting. Formulating insulin to slow its absorption from the injection site and/or bloodstream is used to prolong its duration of action. This is achieved by including zinc, with or without protamine, in the formulation or by altering the insulin structure to create a basal analog. Zinc insulin crystals create a depot effect at the injection site. The absorption rate depends on the size of the zinc-insulin crystals. Larger crystals slow the rate of absorption, whereas smaller crystals allow faster absorption. Lente insulin combines rapid acting and long acting crystalline zinc insulin. Protamine is a large protein from fish sperm that also delays absorption. Protamine was shown, by Hans Christian Hagedorn in 1936, to prolong insulin action by delaying absorption. It is used in combination with zinc. Neutral protamine Hagedorn insulin and protamine zinc insulin contain both protamine and zinc-insulin crystals. Insulin glargine Insulin glargine is less soluble at the pH found in the body than insulin meaning that it forms microprecipitates at the site of subcutaneous injection, which delay absorption. Insulin detemir Insulin detemir forms a stable soluble depot at the injection site and binds to albumin in the bloodstream, both of which delay absorption. In general, increasing the duration of insulin action decreases the onset of action and the potency of the insulin and increases the variability in the duration of action.

Salt is necessary for life you cannot live without it. All salts aren't equal with regard to origin, chemistry, crystal structure, biological results or even flavor! For this reason, it is much more advisable to measure salt (in addition to sugar and flour) by weight instead of volume. On the reverse side, an excessive amount of salt in your daily diet can raise your blood pressure, a condition which has been implicated in cardiovascular disease. Curing salts never ought to be utilized to season food in the cooking procedure or at the table. Even with the misleading name, it's a curing salt and isn't a tenderizer.
As it happens, salt is a rather general term that may mean several things. There are a number of kinds of salt, but when they're employed in cooking it is nearly not possible to taste the differences. Sea salt comprises certain trace minerals too. It contains many varieties of salts", the main one being, of course, Sodium Chloride (NaCl). Pure sea salt can likewise be utilized in pickling.
Sea salt can likewise be very costly. Though it contains a small amount of iodine, it is said to be insufficient to meet the requirement of the human body. Celtic Sea Salt contains a greater proportion of mineral-dense all-natural brine (sea water).
What the In-Crowd Won't Tell You About Table Salt Kosher Salt Conversion
For the aims of brining, there's essentially no difference. There's absolutely no substantial difference between both, so far as the degree of sodium chloride is concerned, and you need to control intake of salt, irrespective of the type. Before you become settled in, however, it seems we are having trouble. There are a number of difficulties with the kosher salt which you want to understand.
The Most Popular Table Salt Kosher Salt Conversion
Surprisingly, buttermilk consists of no butter whatsoever. Unsalted butter may be used in place of salted butter but you'll need to put in a little salt to the recipe so as to find the most suitable flavour. Honey is the sole all-natural food which is made without destroying all types of life.The volume of the planet's moon is exactly like the volume of the Pacific Ocean. So whatever diet you follow, make certain it includes a great deal of vegetables and fruits, which contain little if any sodium and are an essential supply of potassium. Salt flavor is among the fundamental tastes, an essential preservative and a favorite food seasoning.
Baking is an entire other beast that I'll leave for a different moment. All salts aren't created equal. It is regarded by many people to be the highest quality salt available.
By itself, kosher salt isn't kosher. It is a great alternative, as long as it is pure salt without any additives. It should be used as a salt where easy dissolution is not the goal. The only thing to know about when using kosher salt for pickling is it will take a bit more time to dissolve.
Salt is of the utmost importance to all living things. It is the single most important flavor enhancer of them all. Table salt doesn't permit you to reach this objective. Iodized table salt usually means that iodine was added. Most table salts sold in the USA are iodized.
The Demise of Table Salt Kosher Salt Conversion
The chef would like you to taste the food as they've prepared it. Should youn't have a wonderful quality garlic press, you may use a superior quality, sharp chef's nice instead. Actually, the group said low sodium diets might be as risky as large sodium diets, even though it would be difficult to prevent enough salt to endanger yourself. Our bodies are made from mostly salt water so should you consider it, this makes a great deal of sense. In reality iodine deficiency is believed to be the most frequent cause of preventable brain damage on the planet. Therefore, if you're concerned about getting enough iodine and would like to keep on using sea salt, I'd remember to inspect the label on your brand. These impurities chance to be essential minerals required for your physique.
Many grains are utilized to earn flour. So there's the scoop on salt. Again, your mileage can fluctuate.

The Bulldog basketball team's 66-34 loss to Carlsbad Tuesday at Bulldog Pit was certainly not the result of a lack of effort.
The Artesia boys came out strong against the Cavemen before a healthy home crowd and – despite a low-scoring opening quarter – were down by just five points going into the second, 14-9.
But a combination of turnovers and missed shots quickly began to add up for the 'Dogs. Carlsbad capitalized on virtually every mistake with easy looks inside and dominated the perimeter on the night.
Despite the loss, however, head coach Michael Mondragon was happy with his team's tenaciousness.
"I know the score didn't show it, but we got better last night," Mondragon said today. "I'm really pleased with the effort the boys came out with. They're playing extremely hard right now.
"Carlsbad's a good basketball team, and against a team like that, you have to make sure you take care of the ball and all aspects of the game have to be executed. And we didn't do a good job of that at times, but overall, the defense is there, the offense is taking some good shots, and we turned them over a little, which was nice to see. They made us better, and that's the most important thing."
With back-to-back treys by Micah Calderon early in the first, the Cavemen jumped out to a quick 8-1 advantage midway through the first Tuesday, but a Justin Houghtaling three-pointer and a Carlos Carrasco layup off the steal helped keep the 'Dogs within four, 11-7, with just over a minute to go.
One from the stripe by Brenden Boatwright and a Daniel Miller transition layup made it 14-7 Carlsbad, but Taylor Null hit two from the line to keep Artesia's deficit at five, 14-9, heading into the second.
Caleb Brewer opened with a shot off the glass to make it 14-11, but the Cavemen would take advantage of a rash of Bulldog turnovers to launch a 13-2 run that stretched to the final three minutes of the half.
A pair of late buckets by Joe Willingham could only keep the halftime gap under 20, 36-17, as Carlsbad's Jordan Wright closed out the quarter with a pair of three's and a layup.
A dominant start to the third was a must for the Bulldogs, but they got just the opposite, as the Cavemen racked up 14 unanswered to swiftly bump their lead to 33, 50-17.
Offensive putbacks by Alan Cosio, Null and Carrasco cut the deficit back to 30, but with a trey by Malachi Calderon and a Chris Johnson bucket, Carlsbad was able to start the mercy-rule clock with a minute to go in the third, 58-23.
As such, the first three minutes of the fourth quarter ticked rapidly away, but a Tanner Harris layup and a Carrasco shot from beyond the arc put the clock out of effect for the final five minutes of play. The 'Dogs had their best offensive showing of the game in the fourth, with Carrasco and Justin Houghtaling closing out the contest with layups, but the damage had been done.
Carrasco led the Bulldogs with 11 points on the night, followed by Houghtaling – who was forced to sit out much of the second and third quarters with foul trouble – with seven.
Micah Calderon led all scorers with 15 for the Cavemen, while Boatwright and Johnson each added 12.
The 'Dogs shot 26 percent from the field on the game to Carlsbad's 42.
With the loss, Artesia drops to 5-7 on the year, but they'll have a chance to get back to .500 this weekend as they travel north to take on Los Alamos and Moriarty. The Bulldogs will tip off against the Hilltoppers at 7 p.m. Friday and will square off with Moriarty at 5:30 p.m. Saturday.
"It's a big weekend for us just because it's our next two games," Mondragon said. "We have to have a great week in practice starting today, handle the trip, and just go up and worry about us, about taking care of the ball and being fundamentally sound.
"That's the thing that's hurting us right now – we're just not fundamental for 32 minutes. We'll play really good for a four- or five-minute stretch and then look really bad for four or five minutes. We have to work on our consistency, executing on offense, and playing great team defense, and we'll be fine."
The Bulldogs will return to Bulldog Pit Monday, Jan. 18, for an add-in game against Los Alamos at 7 p.m. before heading to Carlsbad Jan. 22 for a rematch with the Cavemen.
"We just want to thank all the people who came out last night," said Mondragon. "It was a great crowd for us, and it's too bad we didn't come out with a win, but the boys are playing hard, getting better, and I really feel like if we keep heading the direction we're heading, we'll be there come district time.

In 1944, Marguerite Bonnema received the shock of her life.
To her surprise, a little neighbor girl revealed her father's strong dislike of his wife's illegitimate baby girl. "He is going to kill [the baby]," the little girl said. Marguerite replied, "Tell him not to kill her but to give her to me."
Arrangements were made - in a hurry. The neighbor mother and baby girl traveled by bus to a train station, where Marguerite and her friend and roommate Mary DeBoer received the child to live with them in their small apartment.
Since then, Bethany Christian Services has been following in these two co-founders' steps, demonstrating the love and compassion of Jesus Christ to expectant parents who are facing an unplanned pregnancy and need help. Our goal is to help them explore their life-affirming options and then help them pursue the plan they decide is best for themselves and their baby—whether that is parenting or adoption.
As a Heartbeat International partner, it is our desire to share our pregnancy counseling resources with those who are ministering to expectant parents in resource centers across the U.S.
Our full range of informational resources include brochures, books, DVDs, and educational webinars (some available in Spanish).

Okay. I can see I have been far too lenient with my diet to actually lose any weight this last few weeks, and have certainly also been far too lenient on the exercise front. My baby steps have been done, however because they have been tiny, it is going to take a while before they show up on the scale!
Still I can take heart that in general I am not binging. This is the kind of food relationship I want. It has been a struggle though today to not throw in the towel and say 'stuff it' and stuff it in. :) I didn't go to get a loaf of bread & butter, or crumpets, or an extra bar of chocolate, or crisps today - though I did think about it, several times. I've drunk water and had tea instead. I've eaten a healthy snack of banana with yoghurt & honey instead. I've had an extra bowl of calorie counted cheerios instead. I've read a book instead. I've fallen asleep on the sofa instead.
This is a fight. For me. For feeling good. For being healthy. For being able to move without losing my breath. For being able to buy nice clothes in ordinary shops instead of the fat ladies catalog. I can do this.
I've been reviewing the Slimming World method. It has worked for me in the past. A combination of that and watching the calories/portions AND doing the exercise will get me the results. I know it is that simple - calories in calories out.
Extra calories yesterday - snack of cheerios & tea - 248 yesterday's total 1864
Today's calories - a rotund 2324 !!
I've had cheerios for breakfast, a second breakfast of baked beans, bacon & boiled potatoes, spaghetti marinara for lunch, bulghur wheat salad & ham for dinner, and 1/2 an apple, banana/greek yoghurt/honey and 6 squares of Cadbury's Whole Nut chocolate.
Exercise today: I walked from the garage to the bus stop & back - part of it was uphill, hmm, half a mile, walked from the bus stop by the pub to the doc's, the library & then home, another half mile. That was good. I felt puffed out a little going up the hill, but I did it :) I also noted on the bus that there are several good walking routes for me around here that I must explore. And near my garage is a great place for walking surrounded by nature - lots of people take their dogs up there.
Little and often. Little and often. I can do this. Walk. Move. Watch what's going in my mouth. Keep on with the good changes.

Mangaluru, Apr 26, 2019: Tar balls that are washing up ashore may end up driving schools of fish away from the coast.
Fishermen face a real fear after 'Tar Ball' are deposited along the regioal coast and expressed fears that fish may avoid such areas - the fishermen voiced this fact on April 25, Thursday.
The substance resembling semi solid, black tar found on the beaches in Panambur and Surathkal, sticks to the feet of those walking on the beach barefoot.
"The tar ball deposition on the beaches is phenomenon seen during the peak of summer just before monsoons," Panambur Beach Tourism Development Project Chairman Yathish Baikampady stated.
The tar balls have been found scattered on the beaches in Mangaluru since April 22. A case of oil leakage or discharge from the foreign vessels arriving at New Mangaluru Port was suspected initially, Baikampady said.
He added that he had written a letter to DK DC on minimising the damage to fishing and marine ecology. Baikampady said he had already appealed to the DC on directing coast guards or pollution board officials to take remedial measures.
"The concerned authorities should act, as the pollution would destroy marine flora and fauna," Yathish added.
DK DC Sasikanth Senthil clarified that tar balls on the beaches were not the result of oil spillage from the ships sailing on the sea. He said he had spoken to Deputy Inspector General S S Dasila, Commander, Coast Guard (Karnataka) as ICG is the nodal agency to look into the issue of oil spillage.
DC Senthil said he had also written a letter to the ICG commander. The ICG has been asked to sensitise all fishermen to intercept any huge chunk of oil particle found in the sea. It is a phenomenon which takes place across the Indian coast, including Kerala, Maharastra and Gujarat, during the season. There are possibilities of oil globules being carried by the currents, to the Indian Coast from other areas the DC said.
Karnataka State Pollution Control Board District Environmental Officer Rajashekhar Puranik confirmed that the pollution was not due to the industrial affluent. The affluent discharge system and effluent treatment plant installed by MRPL, BSF and MSEZ were being continuously monitored by the Pollution Control Board through its website.
Karnataka State Fisheries Development Corporation (KSFDC) former president Ramachandra Baikampadi said that the incident had become a regular feature since many years. There could only be two possibilities - waste oil discharge or leakage by ships or the affluent by the industries or the industrial waste directly being released into the sea without being treated at the effluent treatment plant (ETP).
"This is the fishing season and the tar balls washing ashore results in the migration of fish population making it bad for fishermen, who end up getting a meager catch", Ramachandra observed.

Kronan (Los) - Review. 15 September 2015.
Over the past few weeks, I've been revisiting the entire Kronan line. In August, 2011 I reviewed Kronan Original Portion, in May 2013 I reviewed Kronan Stark Vit, in October 2014 I reviewed Kronan Stark Original, in September 2015 I reviewed Kronan Los, and in November 2014 I reviewed Kronan Vit. Kronan is a snus I've never been able to get into, but I figured it's been a few years since I've tried most of this line so why not revisit it? After all, I wasn't a big fan of Göteborgs Rapé when I first tried it, but I fell in love with it when I reviewed the Göteborgs Rapé Slim Can version in 2013. Now, speaking about Kronan, the name means "the crown" in Swedish. It was created in 2005 as a reaction to the taxes being raised on snus. In fact, one of the Swedish Match tobacco masters was once quoted as saying "We can't really do anything about the taxes but we can cut costs as much as possible while still providing a good product." The product line was redesigned in March 2017, so I figured it was a good time to revisit Kronan! An interesting note about this one is that it now comes in the star formation!
flavor description for this product says, "Dark tobacco character with elements of violet and citrus, as well as some green herbs." Being a Swedish Match loose product, a can contains 42 grams of snus. The nicotine content is 7.5mg/g (0.75%).
When it comes to the Kronan brand, the los is the best of the entire product line. When you open the can, the aroma that greets you is a rich, dark tobacco smell. There's a mild presence of violet, and a light herbal hint. Being a Swedish Match loose product, it bakes really well in the hand! The snus stays together very well in the lip with minimal mudslide. The flavor is a rich, dark, earthy tobacco flavor. Being a loose product, the tobacco is the most predominant flavor, which I think is why I consider this one the best. There is a light hint of lemon, a mild herbal taste, and a light presence of dill. As I said earlier, the most present taste with this product is the tobacco, so I think it masks that dill pretty well. There's also a very light taste of violet in the background. The flavor lasts a good 45 minutes, which is about how long I usually keep loose in for. The nicotine content also feels to be about regular strength.
Though I said this is the best product of the Kronan line, this snus still isn't for me. The dill taste is much more mild with this one, but I can still taste it and I think that's what turns me off of this product line. However, if you want to try Kronan, I suggest this being the product you try. Now, to do a price comparison at SnusBolaget.se, Kronan Los is priced at 39kr (4.75 USD). Compare that to General Los at 51kr (6.21 USD) and you'll see that Kronan is a much cheaper alternative for the budget conscious snuser! However, as with the last 4 Kronan products I reviewed, I still can't get into Kronan. But I can say I tried!

What is a Parenting Plan and What is its Purpose?
A parenting plan is simply an agreement you create with your spouse or partner about how you plan to co-parent your children after the divorce or separation. A parenting plan is very specific and amounts to basically setting up a complete schedule for you and your children. The plan should be very comprehensive, especially if the children are smaller to include schooling, medical issues, extracurricular activities, sporting, and other club endeavors as well as potential college. All these things need to be thought of and discussed in detail. A parenting plan governed specific parenting responsibilities including how visitation will be handled, overnights, who takes a child to the doctor and just got everything on an assignment regarding good parenting skills.
Why Hire James Crawford Jr and Associates in Maryland?
There is no doubt that the parenting plan is one of the most important documents in any divorce or separation. A parenting plan can be incorporated into a separation of property agreement or simply incorporated into the divorce decree. Sometimes a mediator is involved, and sometimes the lawyers will lay out specific details. I have seen many situations where couples are simply able to work out the details. The biggest problem people have is that they focus on the immediate here now about what is happening in their children's lives. The plan must have room to grow because inevitably children's activities and lives will change. A parenting agreement can help you focus on the best interests of the child, which is always easy when you're in the middle of the battle of the divorce or separation. To speak directly with James Crawford contact us at 443-709-9999 for your free consultation
Why Some Parenting Agreement Plans Work – and Why Some Don't Work
A parenting plan is only as good as the parties are able to make it. In other words, if you have a very contentious relationship with the other spouse is always hoped that hard feelings or issues can be put aside to properly parent, however that is not always the case.
If you find yourself in a situation where your soon-to-be ex-spouse is being completely unreasonable and trying to take advantage you need an attorney who is extremely skilled at fine-tuning the details. There are established methodologies of how to communicate in and to fix a situation where another parent is simply trying to cause problems. It is very important that you have an attorney he knows when to be aggressive and also knows went to simply facilitate a resolution.
Let Us Help You Fix the Situation
A lawyer can sit down with you and look at the situation from an objective. If need be your lawyer can help abdicate your side and worked to persuade the judge about what is in the best interest of the children.
We Have Been There and Helped Many People in the Same Situation
Our firm has represented many people who are looking to try and work out a parenting plan. We have mediation resources at our disposal as well as years of experience. We have handled thousands of matters for clients in the Baltimore, Annapolis, Bel Air's area and throughout Maryland. Contact us today!

Roasted Corn and Pablano Chile Bisque
A slightly smokey, creamy corn soup with a touch of heat from poblano chiles. One of my favorite summer soups, it pairs beautifully with white meat fish like halibut, Chilean sea bass or trout.
- 6 ears of corn, roasted (5 cups kernels)
- 6 cups water
- Salt to taste
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 1 medium white onion, chopped
- 2 stalks of celery chopped
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 poblano chilies, roasted
- 1 cup cream
- ¼ cup dry sherry
- ¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro or 2 tablespoons minced chives (optional)
- Roast the corn and poblano chiles either directly over a gas flame or under a broiler, turning often until they are uniformly charred.
- Place the roasted poblano chiles in a small paper bag and seal them shut to steam, loosening the skins for removal.
- Take the corn off the cobs. You should have about 5 cups kernels. Set aside 1 cup of the kernels.
- Place the corn cobs in a large soup pot and add the water. Make sure they are covered or at least floating in the water; you can break them in half if they are very large. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat, partly cover and simmer 30 minutes. Remove and discard the cobs.
- At low heat reduce the corn stock to roughly 2 cups, Season to taste with salt.
- Line a strainer with cheesecloth and set it over a bowl. Strain the broth and set aside.
- Remove the charred skin of the now cooled poblano chiles, rinse and past dry. Remove the seeds and veins (I recommend that you wear plastic gloves for this) and dice.
- Heat the oil over medium heat in a heavy soup pot and add the diced chiles, onion and celery. Cook, stirring, until it is tender, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and stir until fragrant, about 30 seconds, and then add the 4 cups of corn kernels and salt to taste. Cook, stirring often, for 4 to 5 minutes, until the corn is just tender. Add the corn broth and bring to a simmer. Cover and simmer for 30 minutes.
- Working in batches, purée the soup in a blender, taking care to remove the insert from the top of the blender and cover tightly with a kitchen towel to avoid splashes.
- Again, working in batches, strain the resulting blend through a sieve, working it with a flexible spatula, until most of the liquid has been separated into the stock pot - discard to spent corn husks.
- Return to the heat, taste and adjust salt, and heat through.
- Add cream, and sherry, and stir to incorporate.
- Ladle the soup into bowls. Combine the steamed corn kernels and diced chilies and place a spoonful in the middle of each bowl of soup.
Garnish with a sprinkling of cilantro or chives if desired, and serve.

Story by Suzanne K. Whang, Editor, Bureau of Diplomatic Security Public Affairs, U.S. Department of State
Chief Steelworker Joan Powers travels with a Seabee convoy security and mobile construction team in February 2012. (Photo courtesy of SWC Joan Powers)
The State Department commemorates its 51-year formal partnership with the Seabees. A Memorandum of Understanding, signed between the Department and the Navy Support Unit on this day in 1966, officially detailed Seabees to the Diplomatic Security Service (DSS). Here's the story of one brave Seabee doing her part to support the DSS mission.
Seabee Joan Powers peered inside a 40-foot shipping container near the gate of a recently attacked U.S. consulate. Light streamed in through the bullet holes, making the inside of the steel box look like a celestial dome of stars.
Then-Steelworker First Class Powers spotted the supplies she was looking for strewn all over floor near exposed wires, splaying from an electrical box. The shipping container was damaged by gunfire during the multi-pronged attack on the consulate. Bullets destroyed the electrical hub and supplies for the critical perimeter security systems that the regional security officer (RSO) wanted operational again as soon as possible. Powers and her DSS colleagues had their work cut out for them.
First, Powers and her fellow team members went over the area with a volt meter to make certain none of the wires were still live. Once they knew they were safe from electrocution, they inspected damaged supplies to salvage what they could. Then they cannibalized parts from two vehicle barriers that had been damaged. Within a day, they were able to get one of the barriers operational again by fixing the hydraulic power unit, hoses, fittings, power lines and electrical circuit board.
Next they turned their attention to the damaged CCTV cameras. "The shipping container had been the main thoroughfare for critical camera cabling," Powers explained. "So we had to trace all the wires that had been ripped apart by bullets and splice them back together, one by one. The work was so tedious my sense of time got skewed, so I don't remember how long this took. But we did get the critical cameras back online." Much to the RSO's delight, the team's quick action restored camera coverage to the main road leading up to the consulate – the same route used by the attackers.
During a previous deployment to a warzone, Powers was part of a convoy security team that doubled as a mobile construction team. She and her team rode into a volatile area in armored vehicles and cargo trucks, and rotated between building a perimeter and standing watch. "It's what Seabees are trained to do – what we excel at – working heavy construction tools one shift, then providing security with a weapon in hand the next with no time off until the perimeter is up and the work is done."
As a Chief Petty Officer, Powers worked with a team of Seabees to build five vehicle gates, each 16-feet wide and 8-feet tall, for U.S. Marines deployed in a Marine Expeditionary Force. With nine years of military service under her belt, Powers is also well versed in complicated electronics, locksmithing, and networked technical security systems. For her exemplary service, the State Department's Naval Support Unit awarded Powers the distinction of Senior Sailor of the Year in 2014.
"My dad was a carpenter, and I grew up 'working' with him on weekends since I was six-years old. So I love working with my hands. Cutting, framing out, and welding together huge sheets of steel to construct gates solid enough to stop a speeding truck is right up my alley. It's all very satisfying work for me."
This type of work is all part of what Seabees do for the State Department. For the past 51 years, DSS has relied on the Seabees for construction, installation, renovation and maintenance, and repair projects in sensitive areas of State Department facilities, oftentimes in unstable regions of the world. As long as men and women like Chief Steelworker Powers step up to meet the challenge, the State Department will continue to benefit from their courage and commitment to serve our country.

Walk on the beach at sunset and grabbing some dinner by the ocean.
I'm a spontaneous guy, so I could be down for whatever I go with the flow of life, or if not the flow of life comes with me 👌🏽☺
Moonlight picnic under the stars
Sit on top of a rooftop and star at the sky while talking about each other and getting to know one another
I'm a people watcher so going downtown having some lunch and taking in the sites and talking is fun
Picnic in a very beautiful scenery,Nature walk with lots of laughter and smiles
Maybe a dinner, or a cruise and just get to know one another.
Bowling, aquarium, volunteer at a animal hospital, dancing, out to eat
Going to a nice place with my soul mate and that alone will make that day a memorable experience.
I can't describe my first date because everyone is different. I like trying new things so I'll let her decide.
A brief opportunity to check if there is a spark. A lunch, an early drink, a walk in the park, sightseeing, a coffee, etc.
A day in the park. We would sit and enjoy nature and get to know each other
You & I enjoying a Delicious meal & a Gorgeous view - away from 'the crowd' - so we can talk, get to know each other better, etc... I just want to Enjoy You...

My name is Lynda. I am a 34-year old French woman from Paris. The plan has always been to heal myself with Yoga. I have a disease called endometriosis and started practicing Bikram yoga almost 2 years ago because I knew yoga would help me to feel better in my body and make the pain go away. This is how my yoga journey started.
I have worked in the corporate world, in a very stressful environment, for many years. But I always knew it was temporary. A few months ago, it just hit me. It was time for a life change. I wanted to become a yoga teacher and open a studio! I decided to quit my job and enroll in the teacher training in Paris with evolation and aim for a nice and stress-free life, full of meditation, yoga asanas, and organic juices!
I knew that teacher training would be intense, like nothing I had done before, but it still took me by surprise. I found it very tough to wake up at 6.30 every morning and not hit the pillow around 11.30 at night. We usually had 2 classes a day, but that turned out to be the easy part of the training.
I found it very challenging to memorize the dialogue in a very short period of time and practice teaching in front of others. I am not a shy person, but I'm also discrete and don't like to have all the attention. Not being a native English speaker made it especially intimidating and took me out of my comfort zone! I cried almost every day, asking myself if I would ever be able to teach a full class, to be a yoga teacher, a good one, like the ones I love in my studio. At first, my teaching was not great. But I was very proud of myself for overcoming my own fears and following through with it. Now I know that with more practice I can improve and evolve into a strong teacher.
The experience was definitely one-of-a-kind – spending my days with people I didn't know before and without my personal or quiet time. The whole training was tough, overwhelming but equally exciting. I am so glad I did it! I learned a lot about myself and yoga, and I realized that I was capable of doing much more than I thought. All the teachers were fantastic with incredible skills. I have improved my practice and learned more about my body and myself than I could have imagined.

AFSC is dismayed by Judge Arthur Anderson's denial of its request for a temporary restraining order to halt the award of contracts to for-profit prison operators for 5,000 new prison beds in Arizona.
We filed an injunction Monday, September 12 in Maricopa County Superior Court to prevent the Department of Corrections from awarding any contracts for new private prisons until the state completes a statutorily required review of the performance of for-profit prisons. The Department of Corrections has said it might award the contracts as soon as Friday, September 16. AFSC therefore asked the court to grant a temporary restraining order to halt the contract awards until the court can hold a hearing on AFSC's request for the injunction.
The hearing on the injunction has been set for September 20.
AFSC calls on the Department of Corrections to voluntarily hold off on awarding contracts until the hearing can be held. AFSC's Arizona Program Director Caroline Isaacs said, "We hope that the Department recognizes that its failure to follow the law in awarding contracts is a serious matter that warrants a hearing. We ask that they show respect for the process and for the seriousness of this issue and simply wait a few extra days."
She expressed confidence that, once the facts have been aired and objectively evaluated by the judge, the injunction would ultimately be successful.
"There should be an airing in open court of the issue of the department's non-compliance with the required review. It could be embarrassing and costly to the state to have to rescind contracts later, if the Department of Corrections is found to have violated the statute," she said.

The following is a guide for athletes and owners looking to form a successful partnership. It provides the information and tools necessary to build a mutually agreed upon partnership in which everyone's needs and goals are met.
Forming a Partnership
The owner-athlete relationship may take several different forms, these partnerships include those in which: the athlete only rides one owner's horses, the athlete rides for multiple owners, the athlete owns a part in a horse and contributes towards expenses and/or a group of individuals (sometimes including the athlete) own a horse(s) through a syndicate.
Each situation is unique and it is important that both parties come to an agreement on all aspects of the arrangement prior to entering into a partnership. It is important to establish clear roles and responsibilities for each party and to establish communication guidelines and methods among team members that satisfy everyone's needs. In many cases it may be prudent to formalize the owner/athlete agreement as a legal document signed by all involved parties.
Addressing some of the below topics will be helpful for both the owner and the athlete to avoid future conflicts and come to a mutually agreed upon partnership:
- What are the goals of the partnership? (Competition related and otherwise)
- Who will be part of the team? (Include groom(s), vet, farrier)
- How and how often does the team communicate?
- What are the expenses involved and who will be responsible for each?
- How are outside sponsors dealt with? (e.g. product, supplements)
- How is the glory shared? (Does one person receive the prize money or is it divided? Who keeps awards such as trophies and medals?)
- What is the code of conduct for the team?
All owners and athletes should think carefully about the answers to these questions. In addition, athletes and potential owners considering syndicating a horse should consult an attorney experienced in equine law matters to formalize the intentions of the parties and comply with legal filings. Please refer to the Syndication ABCs, particularly the Checklist for Multi-Owner Syndication Agreements.
Goal Setting
In your partnership, who will be responsible for setting the goals – the owner, the athlete, or both collaborating? Some owners may start with an existing horse and choose the athlete to reach a certain goal. An athlete in turn, may have a personal goal and reach out to an owner/sponsor for assistant in realizing that goal.
Setting realistic short term and long term goals are essential for the success of partnerships as these will dictate everything from the type of horse in need to which competitions to attend. The goals may also include an eventual sale of the horse, if that is the case owners and athletes should include details on when the sale of the horse may occur and how the profit is shared in their initial partnership agreement.
Many partnerships will focus their goals on national and international level championships, it is important to become familiar with such competitions before setting a goal.
International Championships
The primary international level championships for Big Tour (Grand Prix) Horses are:
- Olympic Games
- FEI World Equestrian Games
- Pan American Games
- FEI World Cup Dressage Final
The primary international level championship for Small Tour (Prix St. Georges/Intermediaire I) Horses is:
- Pan American Games
The primary international level championship for Young Horses (ages 5 and 6) is:
- FEI World Breeding Championships for Dressage Young Horses
Qualification and selection processes for Big Tour Championships/Finals vary year to year, however the bar is now set very high. Based on the results of recent Selection Events, a combination will need to score a minimum of 72% or higher in the Grand Prix to be part of the US Squad. If the goal is to earn an individual medal at the World Championship/Final level, the world has set that bar at 80% or higher.
Team USA has had much success at the Pan American Games, taking home the Team Gold at the last four Games. In the 2011 Games, Team USA made history by winning the Team Gold and all three individual medals. The new Pan American Games format for the 2014 Games will for the first time include both Small Tour and Big Tour combinations.
The qualification and selection process for each Big and Small Tour International Championship is posted on the USEF Dressage High Performance Page.
Further information on the Olympic Games can be found here.
Further information on the FEI World Equestrian Games can be found here.
Further information on the FEI World Cup Dressage Final can be found here.
For Young Horses (5-and 6-year-olds), the FEI World Breeding Championships for Dressage Young Horses is always an exciting event to aim for with the top horses from around the world competing in Verden, Germany every summer. Horses qualify through national competitions and are invited to attend the Championships based on their competition record.
The qualification and selection process for the FEI World Breeding Championships is posted to the USEF Dressage National Page.
Further information about the Championships can be found here.

Qualifying information on the Young Horse divisions can be found here.
Qualifying information on the Developing Horse divisions can be found here.
Complete event information can be found here.
Selecting Your Support Team & Team Communication
A successful athlete/horse combination has the support of capable professionals who ensure that the combination can compete at their best. It is vital that the athlete and owner work together to select a cohesive team who can work together with the best interest of the horse in mind. This team could include, but not be limited to: a groom, veterinarian, farrier and physiotherapist.
Defining each person's role within the team is critical. Some examples of roles that should be assigned when a team is formed are: who will handle the paperwork (USEF/FEI membership renewals, competition entries etc.), who will handle the logistics (especially when international travel is required for both horse and rider), who will handle the payment of expenses, and who will receive accreditation (access to stables and athlete stands) at Team Competitions or any International Event/CDI with limited accreditation access (2 owners per horse).
Determining the most effective way to communicate and defining how frequently such communication should occur will also greatly aid in creating a cohesive team. One team may communicate mostly through email, others may prefer texting or calling; some owners may prefer to know every time the vet is called, others may take a more hands-off approach. There is no right or wrong answer; the important thing is to establish clear roles, responsibilities, communication methods and frequency guidelines that satisfy everyone's needs.
In addition to communication within the team, communication with the media will also become necessary as the horse and athlete enjoy success. The media both in and out of competition will request interviews, predominantly with the athlete, but often will include the owner(s) and other team members. It is important to establish a united front to present to the media and coordinate among the team who is primarily in charge of communicating with the media and what information is shared.
Expenses and Grants
Once an athlete and owner have established how day-to-day expenses will be covered, they should next evaluate expenses associated with national and/or international competition which will involve travel expenses for the entire team. Establish how expenses such as lodging, transportation and per diems will be handled for each team member traveling. Keep in mind that when a horse is away from home for an extended period of time, arranging for a farrier and physiotherapist may become necessary.
Once a combination is selected as a U.S. Dressage team member for a given Championship or Games, the USEF offers logistical support as well as some financial support. The USEF Dressage staff will coordinate with the athlete and owner on the planning of the trip and continue to provide logistical support once at the event.
There are several programs and grants which provide support to high performance combinations throughout the year:
USEF Dressage Training Sessions: for combinations at the Elite, Developing, Youth and/or Young Horse level sessions are held throughout the year and are led by the USEF coaching staff. The majority of these sessions are by invitation only, more information can be found here: Elite, Developing, Youth, Young Horses.
USEF Grants: the USEF may make available training or competition grants for which certain qualification criteria is set. Grant recipients are typically selected through an application process announced on the USEF website here. (Note: to receive all program and grant announcements via email subscribe to USEF News here).
The Dressage Foundation: several grants are offered for high performance combinations including the Carol Lavell Advanced Dressage Prize which is awarded to riders seeking to excel at the elite, international level. Find out more and apply here.
Sponsorship Agreements
An athlete may be approached by a vendor to endorse a product or service. Athletes must understand that a horse is a separate entity, not automatically part of a sponsorship agreement. If the image of the horse is used as part of the endorsement, not only is the vendor benefiting from the notoriety of this horse, but the owner(s) may become liable in endorsing a product or service. Athletes and owners should discuss who communicates with vendors and reach an agreement that satisfies all the parties involved, financially and legally.
Sharing the Glory!
Seeing your horse coming down centerline in magnificent show venues, or watching the American flag go up in honor of the US team, are a few of the many joys that one can experience owning a high performance horse. There are many people who contribute to the success of a horse and athlete and it is important to discuss how the good times and glory will be shared. Questions to consider: Who will travel with the horse? How is the prize money split? Who keeps the trophy/ribbons/medals? Who attends the awards ceremonies?
Code of Conduct
Each team will be uniquely defined by its members. The athlete and owner should take leadership in setting a code of conduct for its team members. What is the most important value for the team? What is the code of ethics? What is the appropriate behavior and dress code, which appropriately represents the team?

The Ministry of Food and Drug Safety said that it has set up a new guideline for a smart contact lens that can measure blood sugar.
The ministry expects that the new guideline will help realize the commercialization of smart contact lens as medical devices.
A smart contact lens is used to manage diabetes patients by embedding a sensor into a contact lens to measure the glucose level in a patient's tears and converting it into blood glucose levels. Afterward, the data is sent to the user's smartphone or other IT devices.
"In the era of the Fourth Industrial Revolution marked by the rapid development of science and technology, products in movies and science fiction are becoming a reality," the ministry said. "The government is trying to improve relevant systems and guidelines."
Local companies are also working hard to break the stereotype that contact lenses should be used only for vision correction and develop them into smart devices that combine medicine, medical equipment, and information and communication technology, the ministry noted.
The guidelines contain requirements for ensuring the electromechanical and biological safety of smart contact lenses and their efficacy in verifying glucose levels while performing its conventional roles as a contact lens.
"This guideline is significant as a preemptively establish guidelines for products being developed through public and private cooperation," the ministry said.
In response to the changing times, the government will actively support the rapid commercialization of medicines, medical device convergence products, and innovative and creative medical devices to strengthen the competitiveness of the local medical device industry and improve the quality of public health, the ministry added.

Medieval Mastery is a game by Miles Ratcliffe, published by Chaos Publishing. It is for 2-6 players. In this game of tactical conquest, players will be rulers or medieval kingdoms. They will send out their bravest of knights to conquer surrounding lands in a bid to become the ruler of the entire kingdom. The player who is best able to do this will be the winner.
To start, each player will choose one of the six castles, taking the corresponding cards and dice for that particular castle. The map is then constructed of various tiles. Each map is designed differently based on the number of players. Next the artefacts are dealt out, one of each type, crown, sceptre and orb. Cards are shuffled and six knights are placed on their castle or distributed between it and their homeland if that particular tile was used. Players then draw five cards from their deck. Play now begins.
There are 9 steps to each turn. The first step is placing knights. The starting player places three knights on their castle. The second and seventh step is playing resources. A player may play one of four different types of resource cards from their hand. Each card provides different benefits, from adding extra knights to destroying artefacts. The third and eighth step is to use their crown's ability. This is optional as a player does not have to use it if they don't want to. Each crown provides different abilities. The fourth step is the redistribution of knights. A player may move knights from different areas to provide a better advantage for themselves somewhere else. The fifth step is to make and advance. This basically means to move knights from one land they control to either one that is vacant or to one controlled by their opponent, thus beginning an attack. That takes us to the sixth step, battle. This is the real heart and soul of the game.
Battle has 9 steps of it's own. First, you apply any applicable territory abilities. Next, draw up to five cards. Third, you apply any sceptre abilities from your sceptre card. Fracture cards can be played at this time to destroy the other kingdoms sceptre. Fourth, you will each play a conflict card. That number is added to the battle score which is the number of knights either attacking or defending. Fifth, players can then play support cards to again raise their battle score. Next you compare the results of the battle with a winner and a loser. A tie results in a defending player's win. Step seven, you apply orb abilities, again fracture cards may be played. The eighth step means a loss of knights equal to the difference in battle scores and retreat from the area for the loser of the battle. Finally, you apply any territory abilities, but only if the attacker wins.
The ninth and final step of the turn is to restore artefacts. Any destroyed artefacts are now restored and able to be used on the next players turn. Each territory has a point value of either 1, 2 or 3. The first player to control 13 or more points worth of territories will be the winner.
There are many different pieces and bits for this game. The territory, castle and lake tiles are very thick and look beautiful. The design on these is fantastic. There are 60 small dice that are used to represent your knights, 10 for each of 6 colors. What can I say, the dice are really nice even though they're a little smaller than normal dice. They are functional and look nice. Finally we come to the cards, 126 of them to be exact. These are the conflict, support, resource and artefacts. Each card is made very nice with a good feel and thickness to them. The artefacts look especially nice with the artwork on each. These are some very nice components in what could have very easily been a mediocre component game.
9 out of 10
The rulebook for this game is extremely well done. There are lots of pictures and everything is explained in great detail. Nothing is difficult to understand. There are lots of examples of gameplay as well as set up instructions. All the iconography is explained perfectly. There's even a handy quick reference guide that contains game setup, turn overview, order of battle and iconography on the back cover. SUPER!! No flipping of pages to find an obscure text or rule. There's even optional rules for shorter, more brutal and even team play. I'm overcome with the sheer awesomeness of this rulebook. It's Amazing!

Basically this is a war game with a few added bonuses to it. Think Risk made better. The modular setup of the playing area makes it where every game that you play is different, thus no game burnout from repeated play. There's enough variation with cards and artefacts that it will interest even the most novice of war gamers. Everything about this game is smooth and combat is a breeze. After a few rounds there's not a need to reference the back of the rulebook anymore. I have to say this is one of the most simple of war games that I've ever played and easy enough that my son could catch on. Very nice.

Medieval Mastery is a medium weight game of modular war, area control and hand management. It's a lot of fun. Coming from me, that's a compliment. I'm not a big war gamer. Most of the time I hate playing them as they take too long and bore me to tears. Not this one. Maybe it's the cards and the artefacts, I don't know. Whatever it is, this looks like a war game that will definitely see more table time. I recommend this game for novice or even beginning war gamers, however veterans will love it too. There's everything to love about this one and nothing to hate. It's easy enough to learn and fun enough to play. Simply put this is a really good game.

DRAWING WORDS AND WRITING PICTURES: A DEFINITIVE COURSE FROM CONCEPT TO COMIC IN 15 LESSONS by Jessica Abel and Mark Madden (First Second, 2008). PEEK: "a course on comic creation – for college classes or for independent study – that centers on storytelling and concludes with making a finished comic. With chapters on lettering, story structure, and panel layout, the fifteen lessons offered – each complete with homework, extra credit activities and supplementary reading suggestions – provide a solid introduction for people interested in making their own comics."
MAKING COMICS: STORYTELLING SECRETS OF COMICS, MANGA AND GRAPHIC NOVELS by Scott McCloud (William Morrow, 2006). PEEK: "Scott McCloud tore down the wall between high and low culture in 1993 with UNDERSTANDING COMICS, a massive comic book about comics, linking the medium to such diverse fields as media theory, movie criticism, and web design. In REINVENTING COMICS, McCloud took this to the next level, charting twelve different revolutions in how comics are generated, read, and perceived today. Now, in MAKING COMICS, McCloud focuses his analysis on the art form itself, exploring the creation of comics, from the broadest principles to the sharpest details (like how to accentuate a character's facial muscles in order to form the emotion of disgust rather than the emotion of surprise.) And he does all of it in his inimitable voice and through his cartoon stand–in narrator, mixing dry humor and legitimate instruction. McCloud shows his reader how to master the human condition through word and image in a brilliantly minimalistic way. Both comic book devotees and the uninitiated will marvel at this journey into a once–underappreciated art form."
UNDERSTANDING COMICS: THE INVISIBLE ART by Scott McCloud (William Morrow, 1994). PEEK: "Praised throughout the cartoon industry by such luminaries as Art Spiegelman, Matt Groening, and Will Eisner, Scott McCloud's UNDERSTANDING COMICS is a seminal examination of comics art: its rich history, surprising technical components, and major cultural significance. Explore the secret world between the panels, through the lines, and within the hidden symbols of a powerful but misunderstood art form."

Adapting Prose to Comics Form by J.L. Bell from Oz and Ends. Peek: "In answer to the question 'What types of prose books are the most suited for adapting to the graphic format?', three of those editors offered responses that seem typically gung-ho for fans of the medium."
"Children's Graphic Novels: Formatting and Submitting Proposals" by Mac McCool, in the 21st Annual Edition of the Children's Writer's & Illustrator's Market, edited by Alice Pope (Writer's Digest, 2009).
Children's-YA Graphic Novels Get Expanded BISAC Codes by Brigid Alverson from Publishers Weekly. PEEK: "The Juvenile Fiction category has 43 headings for fiction about animals alone, while it has only four subcategories for comics and graphic novels. The expansion of BISAC codes for children's and YA graphic novels follows a larger overall expansion of children's BISAC categories, earlier this year."

Holding Out for a Super Heroine by Colleen Mondor from Chasing Ray. PEEK: "One of the reasons I enjoy Justice Society of America (as opposed to Justice League) is that there are a ton of female characters and the group is also more multi-ethnic than about any other book."
What the Kids are Reading: The Booming Business of Children's Graphic Novels and Comics by Matia Burnett from Publishers Weekly. PEEK: "Irvins noted how comic book stores frequently 'have specific sections for kids' these days and Shenton believes that kids today are looking for books with subject matter that extends 'beyond superheroes.' He added that 'kids can handle complex subject matter and don't like being talked down to.""

My workplace has ANSYS EM 18.1 installed on a Linux server workstation with the following CPU/RAM/GPU specs:
-Intel Xeon E5 2670 (x2), 96 GiB DDR3, AMD FirePro V5900;
This machine runs CentOS 6.10, is mostly accessed via SSH and VNC, and lacks VirtualGL. HFSS use over VNC is most convenient, as there are multiple users located in a different building, but doing so means they will not be able to see their renderings: when an HFSS project is launched in a VNC connection, the render subwindow turns black, then flashes briefly if the cursor is clicked and dragged over it. Launching HFSS during a local access session is normal (that's what users are forced to do at the moment, but this situation is highly inconvenient).
Bash console output does not indicate anything.
What might the fix be?

Long and wiggly but nutrituious
I posted this article before. I introduced grilled eels and rice in the article to you. I went eating hitsumabushi with my friends last week. This time, I'll show you it.
hitsumabushi is originated in this region. hitsu of hitsumabushi means 'bowl' in an old way of Japanese, and mabushi means 'blend'. una-don or una-juu, which I showed before, are grilled eels on a box of rice. On the contrary, you have to toss grilled eels and rice with something like rice paddle when eating hitsumabushi. One more thing, hitsumabushi has several procedures while you eat. There are three or four phases. I'll show you them with pictures.
This is a very famous restaurant on hitsumabushi in Nagoya, Atsuta Houraiken. Look at the line. The restaurant had yet to open when I took this photo. It was so hot that I thought I could get heat stroke. We luckily found a cafe and had something cold to drink.
This is the hitsumabushi before I start eating.
I put off the lid of ohitsu(means 'bowl'). You can see pieces of grilled eels topped on rice.
At first, you have to divide grilled eels and rice in quarters, and then scoop a quarter into the smaller bowl. You must eat the small bowl of grilled eels and rice as it is.
Second, scoop another quarter again and into the smaller bowl. After that, you top chopped leeks and chopped lavers. You can tell the difference on texture between the first bowl and the second one.
Third, scoop another quarter and into the smaller bowl. After that, you top a nail-sized wasabi(horseradish) and pour Japanese hot tea.
You can eat the last quarter in any ways you want.
To eat eels look so strange and bizarre for people living in other countries. However, eel is very nutritious. Now that we can feel autumn is getting closer, but it's still hot in daytime. Japanese eat eels and recover their energies lost in summer.

Barnsley is now home to a flagship store for the HBOS plc, a 856m2 property over three floors in the town centre. HBOS acquired a building that had previously been a fast food outlet and with Faithful+Gould's help effected a complete transformation. Our quantity and building surveyors visited the unit prior to acquisition, and provided HBOS with a condition report. This gave detail of the works required to bring the building up to standard, and a budget cost for undertaking the renovations and fit out.
Works commenced in 2 phases, the first to strip out and repair the building, the second to fit out to HBOS requirements. Phase 1 included: Repairs to the roof and façade, replacement of cracked windows to the 2nd floor, fire protection to the internal structural beams, general cleaning throughout, strip out of the existing electrical and mechanical installations. Phase 2 followed in January, and involved the full replacement of all ground and 1st floor windows and the installation of secondary glazing throughout the top floor. The replacement of the façade granite was also undertaken, as well as the installation of a passenger lift.

In the past couple of weeks, there have been several disturbing incidents on colleges and universities nationwide that reflect the ongoing problem of both campus anti-Semitism and anti-Israel activity.
At Emory University, "eviction" notices were posted outside dorm rooms, indicating that the building was slated to be demolished. The notices were reportedly posted by Emory's Students for Justice in Palestine chapter as a means of teaching a lesson about "the destructive policy of Israel, toward Palestinians," including Israel's razing of the homes of terrorists and their families.
Meanwhile, at the University of North Carolina, anti-Semitic posters were discovered on library bookshelves and tables. The posters warned of an "evil Jewish plot."
These are just the latest examples of what has become a seemingly intractable problem — and one that's on the rise. The ADL tracked 204 anti-Semitic incidents on college campuses in 2017, nearly double the number of incidents in 2016.
Even when the issue isn't outright anti-Semitism, there's seemingly a growing number of academics supportive of (and vocal about) their disdain for Israel.
My son's a freshman at a prominent university, and he tells me regularly about his sociology professor's attacks on Israel. Those assertions include beliefs that Israel regularly breaks international law, kills children, interferes with elections and has no right to be in the Golan Heights. The professor has even shown the class a film by John Pilger, who has made a career out of placing 100 percent of the fault on Israel for any disputes with Palestinians.
Locally, the Swarthmore College Student Government Organization approved a resolution calling for the school to divest itself from companies doing business in Israel's West Bank.
These kinds of things seem to be happening everywhere.
Much of the problem is often attributed to the boycott, divestments and sanctions movement (BDS) — and not erroneously. We've published numerous articles in this space about the corrosive effect BDS has had on campus dialogue and the lives of Jewish college students, and the way that the movement has become a breeding ground for anti- Semitic rhetoric and anti-Israel political maneuvering. There is plenty to be bothered by when it comes to BDS, to be sure.
Yet the insistent focus on it as the cause of campus anti-Semitism may be shortsighted. As Pennsylvania Supreme Court Justice David N. Wecht suggested in a recent interview with Tablet Magazine, BDS is more of a symptom than a cause.
"Part of the campus problem today lies at the feet of Jewish parents for failing to educate their children to be committed, proud Jews. To be Jews who speak up for themselves, who advocate for Jewish interests and who support the U.S.-Israel relationship," he said.
"Many of those who attack Israel and express anti-Semitic sentiments on campus are emboldened by the cowardice and the ignorance of Jewish students who are ashamed to be Jewish," Wecht continued.
Wecht also mentioned what he perceived as cowardice among academic leaders, who seem afraid to name anti-Semitism and call it what it is.
So, what can be done?
One option is for parents to commit to a Jewish education for their children — one that doesn't stop when the Bar Mitzvah party has ended. Judaism has a rich tradition of debate, and if children have questions or criticisms of Israel, that's welcome.
But parents must be willing to educate their children about the history and realities of the Jewish state so they are better prepared when the get to campus. A void — easily filled by other voices — is created when Jewish students don't know how to respond to false or misleading information.
Second, as Wecht noted, we must demand accountability from university officials. They should make it clear that anti-Semitic acts won't be tolerated and be unafraid to say so.
Finally, Jews need to reassert a proud sense of self. The self-critical Jew has become a familiar trope, often mined for comedy, but it's not a laughing matter when it fosters disdain of Judaism in others. Jews have successfully conquered adversity for thousands of years in large part because of pride. Parents need to instill that pride once again in their children.
Andy Gotlieb is the managing editor of the Jewish Exponent.

2Christmas is certainly a special time of year if we don't forget the reason for the season. How do you celebrate Christmas? Is it with lots of presents under the tree, homemade cookies and candies, nuts and other good foods to eat? Is it by going to church on Christmas morning or joining others at midnight Mass? Or is it a time to enjoy Christmas with family or friends? Perhaps it's a time of giving to others in need, sharing yourself and your abundance so others can have a better Christmas. Giving of our time, talents and money seems like a good way to end the year and begin a new year. Sharing self to serve others makes our lives richer by far. Think of ways you can help others, whether it's by writing a check to provide a few meals for a family or to pay their rent because times are tough since Dad lost his job. Praying for others, all others, even if they aren't in need, brings great happiness to you. Peace and happiness are your reward.
Don't you just enjoy listening to beautiful Christmas songs, such as "Silent Night," "Child in the Manger" or "Joy to the World?" There are so many songs we can sing to make the season brighter. I've said before music lifts our spirits, puts us in a happier mood, and a hymn of praise is a wonderful prayer to our Creator.
There's a song titled "Santa Baby" that is full of selfish desire, such as give me this and give me that and finally give me everything on my list and do it all by coming down my chimney tonight. I hope that's not what Christmas is about for you. Instead let's wrap our presents that are filled with love for those who will receive a gift from you.
I especially enjoy Christmas movies on Hallmark and Lifetime channels on television. These movies have something in common. I bet you can guess what it is. They have heart-warming themes. There is no sex, no cursing and always a happy ending. Movies filled with filthy words, sex and violence don't bring me joy. These types of movies don't do anything to fill me with love. So let's not get hooked on evil of any sort. We see plenty of that on the TV news programs or read about it in the daily newspapers.
What can we do to make the holiday season memorable? I pray a miracle will occur in your heart beginning right now and continue through 2015. My prayer is you will first and foremost love the Lord your God with your whole heart, and secondly that you will love your neighbor as yourself. These might seem like good ideas, but they are actually commandments Christ spoke to us approximately 2,000 years ago. Christ condensed the Ten Commandments into simple language. It's all about love for God and love for neighbor. If you want joy and true happiness in your life, keep these commandments of love.
Christmas will be a sad but also happy time for me. Since my husband died in January, I've strived to move forward, appreciate every day God gives me and thank Him for the time my husband and I had together. I celebrate Christmas with my daughter and granddaughter who live in Hays. We notice Bob is not with us. There's an empty chair at the table and a hole in our hearts that is mending. Our get-together at Christmas is now small, but we thank God for the blessings He bestows upon us and praise Him for His love. It is indeed a wonderful time of year. We ring out the old and bring in the new with a song in our heart.
Merry Christmas and happy new year to you. May you be blessed as you include God in your lives.

Why Should Your Child Get Pediatric Braces In Lowell MA
Contrary to popular belief, there is no age limit or perfect starting age to receive orthodontic braces. Getting braces is a highly individual process that affects everyone differently depending on the development of their teeth. While it's standard to consider braces a teenage phenomenon, braces are more common now among young children than they've ever been before, largely due to advances that have made braces more effective and less visibly apparent.
It can be difficult to justify braces in Lowell MA if you're unsure about the benefits that they offer. Though it may seem like an invasive endeavor upfront, braces can have long-term benefits like positive self-esteem. Even though braces may seem like an aesthetic endeavor, they're also essential when it comes to ensuring proper bite. Straight, aligned teeth can facilitate chewing and proper speech. As your child develops healthy dental habits, they'll come to find that straight teeth are easier to clean, brush, and floss. Ensuring that your child is set to establish healthy habits with the right orthodontic care is a lifelong investment.
Signs That Your Child Needs Pediatric Braces
If you're unsure about whether or not your child needs braces, you may find it helpful to schedule a consultation with your local pediatric dentist. It can also help to look for the following issues:
- Overcrowding occurs when there is not enough space for all of the teeth.
- Open bite refers to teeth that don't touch when the mouth is closed.
- Crossbites occur when the upper tooth is behind the lower opposing tooth.
- Tooth alignment problems can result in overlapping or crooked teeth.
To schedule a consultation for pediatric braces in Lowell, MA, consider Kangaroo Smiles Pediatric Dentistry and Orthodontics for quality care. At Kangaroo Smiles, we advocate for patient education and provide comprehensive care in a kid-friendly environment. Contact us at 978-425-1496 to schedule an appointment today!

My birth name is Alabi Oluwapelumi Oyinkansolami but I usually adopt just Alabi Oyinkansolami 'cos you know, Oyinkansolami has honey and wealth in it. Smiles. Oyinkansolami simply means 'honey in my wealth' and Oluwapelumi means "God with me" (I love this name because it speaks more of my reality in Christ but it's kinda personal to me so, Oyinkansola it is.😋
Pearl is the name I adopted from a friend who found it real hard to pronounce my name "Pelumi" and so just stopped at "Pearl". I thought it was cool so I adopted it for instances where my beautiful native name seems hard to pronounce.

I'm a University Student somewhere on the surface of this earth.I'm really playful. I'm not an extrovert per se but I play a lot. I really dislike sad and sorrowful environments.
I write. I don't consider myself a poet but I do poetry sometimes, I think I'm kinda good at short stories and flash fictions though.. Or so I've heard. So hopefully, I'd be releasing a book soon.
I started this blog to share my veiws as a believer on topics, share teachings, my works and experiences.
i'm not your typical churchgirl but in EVERYWAY a GODGIRL.
I love instrumentals more than songs with lyrics sometimes because it helps me meditate.
