Durable Aggregates for Bridge Deck Overlays and Other High Friction Surfacing
The driving conditions of any preexisting roadway, bridge deck, exit/entrance ramp, or curve can be quickly and easily improved with Kafka Granite's high-friction surfacing aggregates. The high-friction surfacing application greatly increases traction year round and helps trap road salt during the winter, making the deicing process more efficient and effective. Kafka Granite's extremely hard high-friction surfacing aggregates easily endure the freeze/thaw cycle and other rigorous conditions. In addition, our various colors can be utilized for drivers to easily distinguish the road from bike paths, crosswalks, and other pedestrian walkways.
Kafka Granite's high-friction surfacing aggregates can be manufactured to meet Department of Transportation specifications, which is generally 3/16" x 1/16″ or 1/8″ x 18 mesh for vehicular applications, therefore creating a total additional thickness of 3/8" to your preexisting hardscape roadway. After the preexisting surface is thoroughly cleaned, a two-part epoxy is evenly spread and the aggregate is dispersed. After the aggregate has set, the excess is swept away and can be reused.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why Kafka Granite?
Kafka Granite offers aggregate materials ideal for a variety of scenarios. We offer crushed stone, decomposed granite, and an array of recycled materials that can lend themselves aesthetically and functionally to any space or project. When it comes to your high-friction surfacing project for roadways or sidewalks, Kafka can provide you with the aggregate you need that matches your specific project's specifications that align with DOT requirements.
Our decomposed granite aggregate and crushed stone come in over 50 colors, leaving you with essentially endless options for your project. Many of our options are locally sourced or are made from recycled materials, which could help garner points toward LEED certification. If you want to differentiate high-friction surfaces from surrounding portions of roadway or walkway, we have your everlasting solution in the form of a contrasting color.
What is high-friction surfacing?
High-friction surfacing is way to make a roadway safer by providing more traction and grip between your vehicle and the surface of the street. This solution to slick or dangerous bridge decks, overpasses, exit/entrance ramps, or curves uses a layer of two-part epoxy topped with a hard fractured aggregate.. When high-friction surfacing is employed, traction is substantially improved, making conditions safer for drivers.
High-friction surfacing can be applied in a short amount of time if the preexisting surface is in good condition. Repairs will need to be made to roadways that are badly deteriorated or in severe need of help. This life-saving treatment can be applied anywhere, however it is most effective when used on bridge decks, exit/entrance ramps and curves as these are the most slippery and accident-prone stretches of road.
Why would I want to use high-friction surfacing?
An incredible number of highway fatalities occur due to deteriorated surfaces. Roughly 40,000 people die every year in highway accidents, costing U.S. motorists over $164 million annually. Roughly 25 percent of all crashes occur on wet pavement and nearly three times as many crashes occur along horizontal curves than on other highway segments; these are the parts of roadways which could benefit the most from high-friction surfacing with our hard aggregates.
Not only does high-friction surfacing drastically improve the roadway's traction, but it also provides a very durable surface that can better withstand the demands of day-to-day motorist traffic and the severe freeze/thaw cycles.
Why Kafka Granite for high-friction surfacing?
We are capable of meeting your state's specific DOT standards when it comes high-friction surfacing on your roadways. Our facility is able to provide high-friction surfacing aggregates that matches the hardness and size specifications you need for approval by the Department of Transportation.
Also, Kafka offers nearly 60 color variations of aggregate. With a color selection as vast as ours, your can use bright colors to differentiate the roadway from bike lanes or crosswalks, or you can simply make your hardscape a more beautiful roadway—whether you want it to stand out with vibrant tones or blend in with natural hues.
What is my next step?
Are you a contractor who needs high-friction surfacing for your next roadway project? If our aggregate isn't already approved for use by your state's Department of Transportation, our experts can work with you. We're always willing to help you when it comes to getting our aggregates tested and approved.

Long-time NBC news anchor, Tom Brokaw, has announced that he has cancer. In a follow-up statement expressing gratitude for the thoughts and concerns of his fans, Brokaw also requested privacy and respect for his need to keep this matter personal. He, his family and the doctors who are tending to Brokaw are optimistic about the progress the treatment is yielding.
The form of cancer Brokaw is fighting, called multiple myeloma, affects the blood cells that are inside bone marrow. White blood cells, and more specifically plasma cells, within the marrow of human bone are the creators of proteins, or antibodies, that fight against infection. When a cluster of cancerous cells invades the bone's marrow, multiplication is rapid and a tumor can develop. When the cells have formed more than one tumor, as in Tom Brokaw's case, the diagnosis is multiple myeloma. Healthy proteins are replaced by an abundance of abnormal ones that do not produce antibodies. An otherwise healthy individual is then flooded with harmful plasma cells and any infection puts the person's system at risk.
Tom Brokaw was diagnosed with multiple myeloma in August of last year, but has just released the information publicly. The Mayo Clinic identified his cancer and doctors who have set the news anchor's treatment in motion are optimistic about his body's reaction thus far. Mr. Brokaw has described himself as "the luckiest guy I know" through the diagnosis and his recent disclosure of the illness.
While working to recover from cancer, Brokaw has continued to work for NBC in various capacities. According to his statement, as reported via NBC News, "since beginning treatment Tom has worked on the documentary about John F. Kennedy's assassination, has made several on-air appearances, and has even been a part of the sports coverage for the 2014 Sochi Winter Olympic Games. With a positive attitude and hopeful outlook from physicians, Brokaw is proceeding with life, but not at the high-stress, fast pace at which he once performed."
The news anchor, who is now 74-years-old, began his broadcasting career in 1966 as a reporter on NBC. In 1982, Brokaw took a seat at the anchor desk. For 22 years, viewers of NBC Nightly News tuned into see Mr. Brokaw report on the latest national and international news stories. In 2004, Tom left the highly esteemed position in an effort to slow down a bit. He worked as a special correspondent for NBC, but did not have to, in his words, "rush back to the studio to be on air." He also appreciated not having to worry about ratings; he was able to choose the stories he reported.
One year later, fellow news anchor, Peter Jennings of ABC passed away from lung cancer. In a 2012 interview, Brokaw said that he viewed the loss as a time of confirmation that retirement was the correct step in his own life. Less than two years later he was diagnosed with terminal cancer as well.
Now, as he fights for his life, Tom Brokaw is conveying an optimistic attitude about his cancer treatment. His body is working to counteract the protein buildup that can affect his kidneys, bones, immune system and his total number of healthy red blood cells. There is not a release of more information at this time, as the Brokaw family wishes to keep this a "private manner."

So I have run into an interesting situation. I got my BCM94321MC two days ago and did a fresh install of OSX 10.5.5 and it is working fine the only catch is that the airport turns itself off after being on just long enough to load one web page. It still shows up in the system profile but I can not get the wireless to turn back on. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

When an in-specie transfer can result in a 15% deemed tax charge
European Wealth Bond/Wealth Portfolio
The European Wealth Bond (EWB)/Wealth Portfolio (WP) is an offshore bond that allows investment in assets that would otherwise create a highly personalised portfolio bond (PPB).
This type of product provides the means to be invested in equities and other securities as well as structured products without incurring an annual tax charge on 15% deemed gains. This can only be achieved by ensuring full compliance with the chargeable events legislation which includes specific rules on PPBs.
To ensure the EWB/WP is not classified as a PPB, the terms of the policy prevent the policyholder(s) or someone acting on their behalf from selecting or having any influence over the assets in the policy and this includes both the inward investment (premium) and the resulting portfolio.
Whilst an investment mandate is provided to the discretionary manager, this cannot apply any restrictions on what assets are selected and is only used to establish the risk profile and planning objectives of the policyholder. For example, stringent ethical considerations that might severely restrict asset choice cannot be requested by the policyholder.
It is imperative that the integrity of the policy is maintained and there is no question that the policyholder (or someone on their behalf) has any influence on the investment strategy of the contract. This decision is made by OMI – who in turn appoint the discretionary manager to manage the investments linked to the contract. That is why we will only accept 'cash' premiums into our product. We believe (and our legal advice supports this) that by accepting an in-specie transfer into such a policy – the integrity of the policy would be called into question.
The most robust approach to avoid any contamination of the arrangement by personalised assets is to exclude payment of the premium by way of an in-specie transfer. If assets currently held in the name of the policyholder or on their behalf in an existing arrangement are used to set up the bond, the very fact, the investor may have had influence over the selection of those assets, is enough to render such a policy highly personalised in nature.
The financial risk of an in-specie transfer for the policyholder is extremely high and must raise the question why anyone would chose to invest using existing assets rather than cash. Being out of the market for a relatively short period of time, whilst liquidating assets, must surely be preferable to paying income tax on annual 15% deemed gains?
Someone who invests through a competitor company that allows in-specie transfers may only become aware they own a PPB some years later, resulting in a significant tax liability.
We understand that some competitors have a different view – therefore we would encourage you to ask the following questions in relation to accepting in-specie transfers into such products:

Hello everyone,
If you are ever in the Northwest, do please go visit Cannon Beach. And while you're there, go take a hike around Ecola Park. You won't be disappointed, I promise you. I mean, just look at this beauty!!
Though I have to say, please be careful if you plan on hiking in Ecola Park after a rain, because the trails do get quite muddy, and can be very slippery. My mom actually fell and ended up fracturing her ankle, but she's doing really well now... and though we laugh about how she was treated like a queen as 911 came to carry her out of the trail, it was really unfortunate that it had to happen, and we wouldn't wish that upon anyone,,
Anyway, despite the injury (before the injury), we were still able to enjoy and marvel at the gorgeousness of the area, so here are some photos that we took (with my iPhone) on our camping trip last weekend!
Oh, well this isn't beautiful, but we had to document what our van looked like as we left for the trip. Our trunk was full, we took out the middle seats of the van and filled it to the brim with blankets, foods, tents, air mattresses, and everything else imaginable. My friend Michael was helping us load the van, and asked if we were moving! haha. What can we say,,, we definitely did not starve or freeze to death on this trip!
When we got to the campsite around midnight, we were greeted by our cabin looking all warm and inviting! and fittingly, it was named 'Midnight'! How perfect!
Because we had driven through dinner time, we made some Korean ramen noodles to enjoy by lamp light, and devoured it standing around the picnic table. There's nothing more satisfying than a hot bowl of ramen noodles on a cold night while camping!! I know, I know, it's terrible for us, but you just gotta have some ramen when you're camping Korean style! I promise we had healthier foods too, and I'll post about them later along with a super simple, but extremely satisfying campfire recipe! ;)
When we woke up, we were greeted by this little guy, who stayed around our cabin all day! so cute! Cousin Narae tried to set a trap for him, but,,, you know,, he probably laughed at the trap and hopped on away lol
After a filling breakfast, it was time to go explore the Ecola Park and the Cannon Beach!
Oh Cannon Beach... You are so gorgeous!
Then, we went on the hike that turned out to be gorgeous, but treacherous...
But the beginning was good! Into the green wonderland we go...
you know what they say, "It's all fun and games until somebody gets hurt..."
Then, we decided to catch the sunset on the Cannon Beach and visit the 'Haystack'. It was so beautiful there that we went a little snap happy--I think we had over 200 photos?! haha
There's the Haystack!!
and of course, the jumping sequence =)
and with my man <3
and Narae and I ran around together like we were little kids again, chasing the waves and getting chased back =)
While David chose to leap instead haha look at him go!
And Narae drew this for us in the sand, so of course we had to take a picture with it =p
Cannon Beach, we miss you already. Thank you for such amazing memories!
Thank you everyone for stopping by!


text: Danny de Munk is a Dutch entertainment celebrity who initially rose to fame in the 1980s as a child actor and teen pop singer. Though his teen pop career fizzled out in the 1990s, he made a surprising comeback in 2008 with the latter-day album Hart en Ziel, which spawned a pair of Top Ten hits. Born on February 19, 1970, in Amsterdam, he made his lead acting debut in Ciske de Rat (1984), a film based on a coming-of-age trilogy of books written in the 1940s by Dutch author Piet Bakker. Not only was the film a success, the feature song, "Ik Voel Me Zo Verdomd Alleen," as sung by de Munk in the film, was a smash hit on the Dutch singles chart, spending four weeks at number one and ten weeks overall in the Top Five. In addition, a commercial soundtrack album featuring the song, Ciske de Rat (1984), was released on RCA. In the wake of the chart-topping success of "Ik Voel Me Zo Verdomd Alleen," the teen pop album Danny de Munk (1985) was released on RCA and proved highly popular. Written and produced by a team of Dutch studio hands, the album spawned a series of singles including the Top Five hits "Mijn Stad" and "Mijn Meissie," the Top 20 hit "Mengelmoes," and the Top 30 hit "Met Kerstmis Hoor Je Blij Te Zijn." Meanwhile, de Munk proceeded onward with his acting career, appearing in the film Op Hoop Van Zegen (1986) and singing its Top 40 soundtrack hit "Ratsmodee." He subsequently returned to music-making full-time, releasing a pair of albums on EMI, 'N Jaar Later (1987) and Geen Wereld Zonder Jou (1989), both of which proved relatively unsuccessful, spawning nothing more popular than the Top 50 hit "Amsterdam Laat Je Niet Kisten." Successive albums Vrienden Voor Het Leven (1991) and Danny (1995), released on Indisc and Columbia, respectively, did little to reverse his declining fortunes as a pop singer, and so he put his recording career to rest. Over a decade later, however, de Munk revived his recording career with the comeback album Hart en Ziel, which spawned the Top Ten hits "Het Levende Bewijs" and "Laat Ons Niet Alleen." ~ Jason Birchmeier

Gerstein, J. (2013, October 22). Is It Project-Based Learning, Maker Education or Just Projects? Retrieved from https://usergeneratededucation.wordpress.com/2013/10/22/is-it-project-based-learning-maker-education-or-just-projects/
This article examines and explains the differences between PBL, Maker Ed, and just throwing in projects. The author makes the claim that most often, even though educators are attempting to tout their activities as PBL or otherwise, mostly, projects are really just an activity that follows direct instruction, and don't include any form of inquiry whatsoever. She goes on to outline several conditions that must be in place in order for PBL to truly exist, and if all, or at least most conditions aren't met, then you simply have a project, and inquiry is missing.
I liked this article because she was particularly blunt as well as clear about what makes something qualify as PBL versus what doesn't. She carefully examines the conditions she claims are essential for PBL to occur, and thoroughly explains how educators can meet these criteria. I also really liked that she included several resources throughout, in case anyone needed or wanted further reading about the various subtopics she brings up.

We look forward to seeing everyone at Cowboy's on August 2nd with our backing band Dustin Sonnier & Six Pack. It'll be a fun night with some of the most impressive singers that Acadiana has to offer.

Do you ever feel like your faith is weak? Ever feel like you are clinging to Jesus by a thread?
Ever feel like you don't know if you will have enough faith to make it to the end? Here's some good news for you: your faith isn't just up to you. If you believe in Jesus, it isn't because you were smarter or wiser or more spiritual than those who don't believe. And when you endure to the end and finish the race, it won't be because of how strong you are. The good news is this: Jesus gave us our faith and he is the one who will perfect it.
Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight, and sin which clings so closely, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, looking to Jesus, the founder and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is seated at the right hand of the throne of God. HEB 12.1-2
The Christian life isn't easy.
In fact it's really hard. I can't begin to fathom how hard it is for believers in some places, like the work camps in North Korea or for those who are persecuted by ISIS. But the Bible tells us that every believer in Jesus has to endure, to "fight the good fight" of faith, that we will all suffer trials and afflictions of various kinds.
We have personal sin "which clings so closely," that we must constantly put to death. And we have a real and powerful enemy, Satan, a spirit far more powerful than us, who schemes against us and tempts us to trip us up, whose lies we must continually deflect with the shield of faith.
But we don't run this race in our own power. God doesn't tell us to quit our belly-aching and man up and just do it. Here is what he tells us.
"looking to Jesus, the founder and perfecter of our faith" HEB 12.2
What an encouraging verse.
Our faith is not simply up to us.
First of all, our faith didn't originate with us
Jesus is the "founder" of our faith. He is the "pioneer" or "author" of our faith, as some translations put it. In other words, Jesus is the originator of our faith. He gave us our faith. He enabled us to believe in him. We didn't believe in Jesus because we were smarter and wiser than unbelievers. We believed in Jesus because he opened our eyes and hearts. He gave us our faith. He is the author. He gave us our faith as a gift.
For consider your calling, brothers: not many of you were wise according to worldly standards, not many were powerful, not many were of noble birth. But God chose what is foolish in the world to shame the wise; God chose what is weak in the world to shame the strong; God chose what is low and despised in the world, even things that are not, to bring to nothing things that are, so that no human being might boast in the presence of God. And because of him you are in Christ Jesus, who became to us wisdom from God, righteousness and sanctification and redemption, so that, as it is written, "Let the one who boasts, boast in the Lord." 1 CO 1.26-30
Do you feel weak? God loves working with weak people. He gives faith to weak people. The Lord gave us our faith when we were foolish and weak. Not because we were worldly-wise or powerful or noble. When we get to heaven we won't boast that we had such powerful faith, but we will boast in the Lord and praise him for giving us faith.
Jesus is not only the founder of our faith but he is its "perfecter."
The way we endure in this race, the way we persevere to the end and get through the afflictions and trials that come our way is by "looking to Jesus, the founder and perfecter of our faith." By praying, by seeking him, by looking at his life and imitating him, by seeing how he looked past the afflictions to the rewards. But we also endure by knowing that Jesus is perfecting our faith. He is doing a good work in us.
And I am sure of this, that he who began a good work in you will bring it to completion at the day of Jesus Christ. PHP 1.6
Jesus began this good work in us, and he will finish it. Every day he sharpens our faith. He knows exactly what we need to become like him. He is the master sculptor. He chips away here, chips away there, sands this little spot down, rubs that spot. He makes us like himself. Romans 8 says:
And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose. For those whom he foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, in order that he might be the firstborn among many brothers. (RO 8.28-29)
What is the "good" that all things are working together for in our lives? It is "to be conformed to the image of his Son."
That is what God is doing in our lives. He is making us like Christ – perfecting our faith. He began this good work and he will bring it to completion. Jesus is the originator of our faith and he is the perfecter of it.
Jesus gave us our faith – we should regularly thank him. We were weak, foolish, without faith and without hope, and Jesus "authored" our faith. He gave us faith to believe in who he is and what he did for us.
If you feel weak in your faith keep looking to Jesus to strengthen it.
He knows our every weakness delights to help us. Remember the father of the boy with a demon who cried out " I believe; help my unbelief!" Jesus didn't tell him to come back when his faith was stronger, but healed the man's son. The One who multiplied a few loaves and fishes to feed thousands can take our tiny grain of faith and make it strong.
And if you have strong faith, remember Jesus is the one who did that good work in you. Remember, "let him who boasts, boast in the Lord."
Lord Jesus, we look to you. Thank you for giving us faith in you. Please continue to strengthen our faith, and thank you that you will perfect it and complete this good work you began.

What the school says...
Yarm School, a high quality coeducational day school, is situated in the attractive and historic town of Yarm on a beautiful stretch of the River Tees. It has its own Preparatory School for boys and girls aged 7 to 11 and a Senior School for pupils aged 11-18. In addition, there is a preparatory school in Darlington, Yarm at Raventhorpe for boys and girls aged 3 to 11.
In our Nurseries, children thrive in the warm and welcoming environment due to small class sizes, a rich curriculum and dedicated teachers. We provide a safe, secure and stimulating learning environment for children to play and interact. The clearly defined and well-resourced areas promote decision making and independence from an early age. Class sizes are small, meaning children receive a greater amount of teachers attention allowing them to absorb more, as well as helping to make an easy and smooth transition into Nursery life.
Children experience an array of challenging activities which promote learning through play and a real have-a-go ethos that builds childrens confidence and self-esteem. We ensure there is a balance of child and adult-initiated activities. In our Nurseries we ensure a diverse education through specialist teaching in French, PE, music and extracurricular activities.
In our Preparatory Schools, children continue to be encouraged and nurtured. Favourable pupil: teacher ratios and close pastoral support enable us to bring out the best in every child. Pastoral care is as important to us as it is to you, and close contact between home and school is encouraged through regular communication and weekly newsletters. As well as specialist teaching, pupils thrive on the huge and unparalleled range of extracurricular opportunities which includes the introduction of residential visits from Year 3. ...Read more

Proposition 53: Revenue Bonds. Statewide Voter Approval.
Should statewide voter approval be required before any revenue bonds can be issued or sold by the state for projects where the bond amount exceeds $2 billion?
The state funds its operations and infrastructure by using annual tax revenues ("pay-as-you-go"), and by borrowing money through selling bonds to investors who, over time, are paid back with interest.
There are two main types of bonds: general obligation bonds and revenue bonds. The state repays its general obligation bonds out of the state General Fund. Revenue bonds are typically repaid using the revenue received from fees and other charges paid by the users of the projects (such as bridge tolls, rent, and utility rates). General obligation bonds require statewide voter approval before the state can issue them to pay for a project; revenue bonds, however, do not require statewide voter approval under existing state law.
Statewide voter approval would be required before revenue bonds could be issued or sold by the state for any projects costing over $2 billion. This law would apply to:
- all projects financed, owned, operated or managed by the state; and
- all projects financed, owned, operated, or managed by joint agencies formed between the state and local city or county governments, another state, or a federal government agency.
Dividing large projects into separate smaller projects in order to avoid the requirement of statewide voter approval would be prohibited.
Unknown. Financial impact on state and local governments, both short-term and over time, would depend on factors such as: which projects are affected, the outcome of a statewide vote, and whether alternative projects or activities are implemented instead that could result in higher or lower costs compared to the original project.

Republican lawmakers have cautioned the Office of Management and Budget against approving the DOL's proposed rule "to redefine and expand the term 'fiduciary'" if the current proposal is not significantly different from the version offered in 2010. On Wednesday, March 11, 2015, Senate Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions (HELP) Committee Chairman Lamar Alexander (R-TN), along with eight other Republican committee members, sent a letter to OMB Director Shaun Donovan expressing their concern that the "proposed rule to change the regulatory structure for and redefine the term 'fiduciary'" for ERISA purposes "could result in a number of unintended consequences for consumers." The Senators' concerns echo those expressed earlier this month by Republican lawmakers in the House.
President Obama recently announced that the DOL was sending its updated version of the previously-proposed fiduciary rule to OMB for review. The lawmakers are concerned that the updated rule "could resemble the administration's 'contentious, and ultimately failed' 2010 proposal that would have broadly expanded the definition—and the legal liabilities—for someone identified as a 'fiduciary,'" according to a committee release. They also pointed to the DOL's "seeming lack of coordination with the [SEC]," calling it "troubling."
Among other things, the Republican Senators cited a survey of small businesses in which 34 percent of respondents who offer retirement plans indicated that a proposed rule similar to the 2010 version would "make it at least somewhat likely that they would spend less money and time on employee education." Such a proposal "may bring an end to call centers and broker-dealer assistance that have customarily helped consumers understand what retirement savings options are available upon termination from a company," the letter warns. "Eliminating this source of financial literacy has been estimated to increase annual retirement savings withdrawals by an additional $20 to $32 billion."
After the proposed regulations issued in October 2010 came under intense criticism, the Employee Benefits Security Administration (EBSA) announced in 2011 it would re-propose the rules.
Real-world concerns
The Senators also offered a list of 10 points they believe the OMB should consider in reviewing the DOL's proposed rule, including this first point: "Consider whether there is a systemic problem, or any real-world examples of concerns, this proposed rule intends to address."
The White House has released a report of the President's Council of Economic Advisors detailing the concerns the proposed rule would address. For example, the current definition of retirement investment advice has not been meaningfully changed since 1975. "Many advisers currently act as fiduciaries and provide advice in their clients' best interest, but many others do not," according to the report. The report also found that an estimated $1.7 trillion of IRA assets are invested in products that generally provide payments that generate conflicts of interest—at a cost to these investors of about $17 billion each year. Among the findings: a typical worker who receives conflicted advice when rolling over a 401(k) balance to an IRA at age 45 will lose an estimated 17 percent from her account by age 65; and a retiree who receives conflicted advice on how to invest his IRA at retirement will lose an estimated 12 percent of the value of his savings if drawn down over 30 years compared to a retiree who receives unconflicted advice.
The letter to the OMB Director was also signed by Senators Mike Enzi (R-WY), Richard Burr (R-NC), Johnny Isakson (R-GA), Mark Kirk (R-IL.), Tim Scott (R-SC), Orrin Hatch (R-UT), Pat Roberts (R-KS), and Bill Cassidy (R-LA).

A farmyard cow in Poland has chosen freedom this winter, roaming with a herd of bison for three months after escaping its pen.They don't have any of these in Poland?
The reddish brown cow has been spotted following bison across corn and rapeseed fields bordering the Bialowieza Forest in eastern Poland as they forage for abandoned corn cobs and other food.
But scientists will want to remove the cow from the herd by summer to prevent the risk of mating, though [bison expert Rafal] Kowalczyk said that won't be an easy operation.
Or these??
I know, I know. There will be an international uproar if they whack the cow.

Getting to grips with obesity BMI or waist?
Continuing our series on key clinical controversies, Professor Mike Lean tackles the growing problem of obesity
The potential for GPs to improve health and prevent disease by tackling obesity is a no-brainer. Being overweight or obese is responsible for virtually all type 2 diabetes (a very rare disease in thin people), about half of all hypertension (our most expensive disease), and thereby around 30% of cardiovascular disease. Add to this perhaps 10% of all cancers, 20% of all depression, 20% of all arthritis and you begin to see the fuller picture.
Patients are screaming for help – especially to avoid weight regain – and yet GPs have resisted involvement.
The controversy
It was until quite recently argued that GPs should not bother to measure anything as first, they could spot obesity by looking, and second, it was not worth doing anything about it, so why bother1?
These two points are both wrong.
• It is surprisingly difficult to identify a person as having a body mass index (BMI) of 25kg/m2 or 30kg/m2 accurately, say to within 2 units, on a casual inspection – even by experienced experts. • We have copious evidence that there are surprisingly large medical benefits from modest, achievable weight loss (5-10kg) achieved by a variety of means.
Reflecting on the evidence
There are many moderate or high-intensity interventions shown to be efficacious in randomised clinical trials, but they can never be effective under the practical or cost constraints of routine practice. Minimal intervention has been shown to be ineffective2.
The Counterweight programme
The Counterweight programme has been developed as a cost-effective evidence-based intervention programme for UK primary care. About 30-40% of obese patients can achieve 0.5% of weight loss, which DPP3 and DPS4 show will reduce diabetes by almost 60% as well as improving all cardiovascular risk factors. The key to success lay in using well-researched methods and materials (evidence based where possible) and a carefully designed training programme for practice nurses and GPs.
The potential savings from reduced drug prescriptions alone are greater than the cost of running the Counterweight intervention.
BMI – a poor predictor
GPs are correct in saying that BMI is a relatively weak predictor of ill-health. At least within the BMI range 18.5-30kg/m2, variation in muscle mass (for example in athletes) can overwhelm differences in body fat. BMI is a crude index using widely available measures (height and weight) for broad categorisation in epidemiology. It is not intended as a sole diagnostic criterion for obesity. But above a BMI of 30kg/m2, body fat is nearly always high.
Waist circumference – a better predictor
Waist circumference is now being used worldwide as a better predictor of total body fat than BMI. It is not a perfect predictor, but it is not affected by variation in height or muscle mass, so it gives better prediction of body fat and health within the normal and overweight BMI range 18.5-30kg/m2.
Some of the inaccuracy of waist measurements in predicting total body fat arises from the additional influence of intra-abdominal fat. Because intra-abdominal fat is pathophysiologically linked with metabolic syndrome, this source of error in predicting total body fat gives the waist circumference extra power in predicting ill-health.Furthermore, most ordinary people can understand and monitor waist circumference, but have difficulty conceptualising BMI. Some confusion has arisen from studies that used non-standard methods of measuring waist circumference (such as Interheart) and by persistent use of weight to height ratio, but waist circumference is one of the most robust, reproducible anthropometric measures. Each 1kg weight loss is matched by about 1cm reduction in waist.
Practical implications for GPs
From the foregoing discussion it emerges that waist circumference is a better and easier measure than BMI for any purpose:
• for epidemiology to monitor the epidemic• for statistical prediction of body fat and of health outcomes• for clinical decision-making.
Waist circumference cut-offs, first established from research in Glasgow and the Netherlands5, have now been adopted internationally, by the World Health Organisation, International Diabetes Federation, National Institutes of Health and by the British Heart Foundation and Diabetes UK. They provide the key diagnostic criterion for metabolic syndrome.NICE has reproduced a complicated scheme for BMI and waist circumference6. This arose from a misapprehension that BMI measures total body fat, while waist measures intra-abdominal fat. A simplified and more logical approach was published recently in the BMJ. Given that we are seeking ways to identify patients at high risk earlier, to encourage improvements for disease prevention, it looks as if waist circumference alone may be a sufficient criterion to initiate active weight management. The GP contract currently advises measurement of height and weight (both individually valuable) and calculating BMI. To have full practice and population-level registers of BMI would certainly help us monitor the epidemic as prevalence rises steadily. It would be better to record waist circumference7. To get BMI, patients need to take shoes off, proxy measures of height are needed for the chair-bound, and some cannot get on to scales, or exceed the upper weight limit. Waist circumference can be measured in everyone, but it does require the waist (between the iliac crest and the lowest rib) to be revealed.
Why the reluctance to record waist circumference?
It is an extra burden on primary care, and confusion about its value will probably remain until today's new graduates reach senior positions as NHS policymakers. Measuring waist circumference should not replace measuring height or weight – and weight alone remains the easiest way to monitor obesity.
After 120 years the days of BMI (Adolphe Quetelet 1796-1874) are numbered. The age of the tape measure is with us and it will remain until we have ways to measure body fat more accurately (bio-impedance and other black-box methods are highly promoted but not as good as waist circumference in estimating body fat content).

My thanks to both Teresa of The Haunted Wordsmith and Beckie of Beckie's Mental Mess for nominating my blog for this new award which was created by MSW R.
If you are not yet familiar with any of the above blogs please, please do visit them or bookmark them now for troves of treasure to read about later.
Here are the rules:
Tell who you nominate and why.
Copy and share the picture that shows the award, posted above.
Share a paragraph of something that impacted your own life in the way of receiving kindness or how you extended kindness to someone else.
Nominate anyone or share to your own page. If you so choose to Participate.
Tag or pingback to the original person who nominated you, or the original post.
I have to concede to being a little lost on this award and have taken time since l was first nominated by Teresa and Beckie to give it some deep thought. I even had to look up the term 'random acts of kindness' to try and get a handle on it. I was puzzled why l was being thrown off sync and so confused and as much as l hate using my label of Asperger's in defence, l came to realise that l was taking the word 'random' out of context and was referring to it as literal.
I don't randomly really do anything everything is planned to a certain degree, so as an example if l pick up litter from the beach which is supposed to be a 'random act of kindness by definition', l don't see it that way, l see it as litter on the beach needing to be picked up so as to make the area cleaner, l will pick it up. Yesterday l gave my neigbour some surplus vegetables from the garden, a decision that Suze and l agreed upon, so whilst a 'kind' act it was not random but planned.
Perhaps l am overthinking this, if l smile at someone on the street l don't think of it as a random anything, it's just who l am, l try and smile at people because, well why not? We don't really live in a 'kind' world anymore. I always open the door for my elders first as l was brought up to respect my elders, equally as much as l will open up a door for a lady not becuase she is not able to, but because it is politeness to do so. Walking on the roadside of your loved one or once more an elder to the left is not random, it is upbringing.
I will naturally help a stranger, if l have change in my pocket and l can spare it, l will give it to someone who needs it more than l do, perhaps these are random acts, l honestly don't know. But l was raised to have a code of moral ethics and to do no wrong to people, and to not be judgemental of others and if not childhood learning then l adapted to my life how l would wish to be treated myself. I am by my very nature a friendly person and am never rude to anyone unless pushed to extreme provocation. I try to therefore to be friendly to all those l meet and greet.
However, this award is to honour those whom are kind to people and perhaps, not being modest or humble l may fall into that category, at the end of my time, l simply want and wish to be able to close my eyes for the final time and say to myself, l have lived a good life and l hope that somewhere along my journey l have made the day for someone else. if l can say that, then l will be pleased.
So perhaps my message is simply, be kind, smile often and help those who need it.

In case you didn't know, CI Games' Sniper Ghost Warrior 3 has a few technical issues that prevent it from being a good game. Add in the still-in-development multiplayer mode, and well, it's understandable that some people might not be that happy with the end product.
Well, there's some good news and some bad news. The good news is, CI Games knows it messed up, and the studio has announced that its staff is working to optimize the game's loading times and frame rate issues. The bad news? CI Games won't release any post-launch content until these issues are resolved — and yes, that includes the multiplayer mode.
Check out CI Games CEO Marek Tymiński's complete message below.
First off, we'd like to thank everyone who has supported us in our endeavor to make the best sniper experience possible. It takes a huge amount of effort in order to make a game on the scale of Sniper Ghost Warrior 3, and we're committed to making the game even better as we continue to support this past release.
The game is being received well in the market and we are collecting valuable feedback from players and are actively taking steps to make sure that Sniper Ghost Warrior 3 is even better moving forward. So, I wanted to explain what our plans are in support for the game:
- Before we release any more content for the game, we have dedicated staff working diligently to further optimize Sniper Ghost Warrior 3 to ensure fewer issues with framerate and loading times.
- Only once we feel that proper headway has been made on the system performance, will we begin adding extras such as the much-requested multiplayer component.
We're 100% committed to making the best game we can. Thanks again to all of the people who have supported us so far. We couldn't have done this without you.
Marek Tymiński
This is a nice gesture by the studio, though it shouldn't have released in that state in the first place, no? Let's hope these issues are resolved soon so the multiplayer component and other post-launch content will be on track for release.

Characterization of the interactions between chitosan/whey protein at different conditions
Abstract This research investigated the interaction between chitosan and whey protein molecules in terms of pH and heating. The FTIR, rheological analysis, turbidity, and zeta potential measurements were used to assess this interaction. At pH 4.0, addition of low amount chitosan with chitosan/whey protein isolate (C/WPI) ratio of 1:5 effectively prevented the denaturation of whey proteins after heating, whereas high amount of chitosan (C/WPI,1:2) led to depletion flocculation. The combination of chitosan and whey proteins was electrostatic attracting at pH 5.5 and 6.0. At low chitosan addition, the complexes formed at pH 5.5 showed higher viscosity and the complexes formed at pH 6.0 showed a shear-thinning behaviour. At high chitosan addition, the complexes showed high viscosity at pH 6.0. Heating led to the decrease of viscosity and increase of turbidity. The results manifested that chitosan and whey protein formed different complexes at pH 5.5 and 6.0, and the complexation of C/WPI was influenced by heating and ratio of chitosan and whey proteins.

Soooo, I'm home. And when I'm home I don't have the best internet availability because I have to haul my laptop into the computer room which is always 10 degrees colder than the rest of the house (the computer probably likes that) and I turn a pale shade of blue.
But it's also an opportunity to take a break and unplug… which is kind of amazing and terrifying all at once because I am soooo internet-obsessed. I'm on my computer all the time- so I am plugged in pretty heavy – so TWO days off was like, mind-numbingly weird.
And you know what? I'm kind of looking forward to closing this puppy down again tonight even though I've only been on for a half hour, and getting back to the fireplace, butter cookies, and CSI reruns- because that's what coming home for Christmas is all about 🙂
So, again, we've got a short post… but don't worry because I'll be back to my long ruminative self in no time!
Merry, merry to all, and to all a cozy night!

I was sold on the idea of this movie right from the time I saw the first trailers sometime in November last year. As promos and interviews by the actors and the director revealed more and more about the film, my excitement only grew. When the fateful first weekend of February finally arrived, I was sure of this; Dev. D may not impress everyone, but it would certainly shock them all.
Though I didn't get a chance to watch it on the first day itself, the initial reviews suggested that Anurag Kashyap had finally struck a chord with the critics. This was a surprise as I had feared that Dev. D, like Kashyap's previous effort, No Smoking, would be largely misunderstood. I was then determined not to let anything come in my way of watching this movie the next day.
But as fate would have it, watching Dev.D wasn't going to be so easy after all. You see, Dev.D was not just a hit with the critics, the audiences had embraced it as their own too! Simply put it, the movie was running house-full shows wherever it was available.
After an unsuccessful attempt at securing seats for the 3 o'clock show at a standalone multiplex, my friends and I rushed to good ol' Eros, only to be greeted by serpentine queues, the likes of which I had never witnessed at Eros. Thankfully, we managed to get a hold of 3 stall tickets for yet another house-full show.
What was noteworthy was that the audience compromised of people from all classes and walks of life, right from south Mumbai college students to the kinds you find whistling at Gaiety and Galaxy. 'Emosional Atyachaar' it seems had surpassed all barriers!
As Abhay Deol made his appearance on-screen for the first time, the crowd burst into a round of applause, whistles and cheers. Thereafter, clapping and cheering almost became a regular exercise after every stunning visual, every witty line and every peppy song.
And then came 'Emotional Attyachar- The Brass Band Version', which, seeing the way the audience sang along, should be called the Karaoke version! Dev.D, I'm sure wouldnt have been able to pull even half the crowd that it did, had it not been for this song.
That however, does not take anything away from the director Anurag Kashyap. He may not be the first one to remake a classic, but he has definitely redefined the way female sexuality and music are handled in Hindi cinema. By seamlessly synthesizing contemporary controversies with a fab multi-genre soundtrack (courtesy Amit Trivedi) and a cryptic, non-linear narration, Anurag Kashyap shows what a phenomenal talent he is.
Debutante Mahie Gill as Paro, delivers an honest and powerful performance. Regardless of what the future holds for her, she will always be remembered as the girl who bicycled to the fields with a mattress tied to the carrier.
The other new face, Kalki Koechlin who plays Lenny who later turns into Chanda effortlessly essays one of the most daring roles scripted in Bollywood. Her irreverant act as Chanda makes Tabu in Chandni Bar look like a Susheel Bhartiya Naari.
The star of the movie however, is undoubtedly Abhay Deol, who is also credited for conceptualizing the movie. It's amazing how Abhay has gone from being "Sunny and Bobby's Cousin" to the face of off-beat Bollywood in just a little over a year. Not once does he go over the top playing a role which he could have so easily hammed like SRK did in his outing as Devdas.
The other stars of this movie are Chunni, a new age pimp/drug peddler played by a very talented Dibyendu Bhattacharya and three brilliant dancers; Sinbad, Ammo and Jimi a.k.a. The Twilight Players, who give new life to the brilliant numbers 'Saali Khushi' and 'Pardesi'. The camera-work and the set-design too are such that each scene makes for a poster-worthy still.
To review this movie would be redundant. It goes without saying that this is one of the most significant releases ever in Indian cinema. Take a bow Mr.Kashyap and Co!
