Collagen is a naturally occurring protein that provides support to various parts of the human body, including the skin, joints, bones and ligaments. It is used primarily to fill wrinkles, lines and scars on the face and sometimes the neck, back and chest.
Injectable collagen is derived from bovine collagen that undergoes a purification process to create a product similar to human collagen. Injectable collagen received approval from the Food and Drug Administration in 1981. It is produced in various degrees of thickness to meet individual patient needs.
The Procedure
Treatment with collagen can begin after a skin test determines that you are not allergic to the substance. The collagen is injected using a fine needle inserted at several points along the edge of the treatment site. If local anesthesia has not been used, you may feel some minor stinging or burning as the injections are administered.
Since part of the substance is salt water that will be absorbed by the body within a few days, your doctor will slightly overfill the area. You may be asked to hold a hand mirror during the procedure to help your doctor decide when you have had enough.
After Treatment
Immediately following treatment, you may notice some minor discomfort, stinging or throbbing in the injected area. Occasionally, some bruising or swelling will occur, but it is usually minor. Any redness that appears in the injected site usually disappears within 24 hours. However, in some individuals (particularly fair-skinned patients) this redness may persist for a week or more. Tiny scabs may also form over the needle-stick areas, but these generally heal quickly.
No bandaging is needed, and you are free to eat, drink and wear makeup with sunblock protection shortly thereafter. There may be some temporary swelling and redness in the treated area, which should dissipate within a few days. If these symptoms persist, contact your surgeon.
Collagen's longevity depends on the patient's lifestyle and physical characteristics, as well as the part of the body treated. In general, the injected material is likely to disappear faster in areas that are more affected by muscle movement. Your doctor can help you determine how long you can go between treatments to best maintain your results.
Risks Related to Injectables
When injectables are administered by a qualified plastic surgeon, complications are infrequent and usually minor in nature. Still, individuals vary greatly in their anatomy, physical reactions and healing abilities. The outcome of treatment with injectables is never completely predictable.
Allergic reaction is the primary risk of collagen. To help determine if you are allergic to the substance, your surgeon will perform an allergy skin test about a month before the procedure. After the test is performed, the test site should be watched carefully for three or four weeks or as long as your surgeon advises. Any sign of redness, itching, swelling or other occurrences at the test site should be reported to your surgeon.
Risks not necessarily related to allergies include infection, abscesses, open sores, skin peeling, scarring and lumpiness, which may persist over the treated area. Reports of these problems are very rare.

The idea behind the Power Pendants is similar to our
High Energy Pendulums,
but the charge is much deeper and when activated by the end user - it will not only boost the vibration rate
and create a set of variables based on your bio-signature (it's like a direct telephone line upstairs), but it will
also help you make right decisions based on your chosen path. Combine that with dowsing and you have a winning combination.
The charge is at the molecular level, so it's very strong and stable. Now combined with the Lemurian Crystals Network!

Sine Qua Non Capo Dei Putti Syrah 2014 750mlSine Qua Non was created after the 1994 harvest of a Bien Nacido Syrah which was named The Queen of Spades. Manfred feels strongly that each year, each vintage, is a completely unique wine and thus he gives each wine a unique name. He also creates the artwork for each new label himself. Previously, Manfred had made wines with Bryan Babcock and John Alban. The basic wines have always been a white blend of Chardonnay, Roussanne and Viognier and a red wine based on Syrah plus some Grenache. There are at times small quantities of Rose and a Grenache-based red. They also embarked on a fantastic project with the renowned winemaker Alois Kracher of Austria. The wines are called Mr. K and represent sweet wines made in the world's greatest styles: Eiswein, Vin de Paille and TBA.

The final cuvee' was 70% whole-cluster fermented, and bottled without fining or filtration. The 2015 Andremily Mourvedre is a full-bodied, concentrated, and rich cuvee' that explodes from the glass with scents of espresso, roasted meats, blackberries, and plum, with a firm backbone and lingering finish.

Realm The Tempest 2016 750mlThe Tempest - a famous play, a violent storm, and the name of our Merlot-based blend, fashioned after the great wines of Pomerol in Bordeaux. The Tempest was the first proprietary wine Realm released, so named for the "perfect" storm of three grape varietals that became available at the same time, from the same vineyard, in 2002 -- the year of our tumultuous beginning. Though our equipment was borrowed and the winery we occupied unfinished, our grapes were sound that year - beautiful in fact - and the resulting wine reflected a fierce determination to brave the storm. The Tempest is still made with beautiful grapes, from vineyards such as Beckstoffer Orchard and Dr. Crane, as well as Blair Vineyard in Calistoga. Predominantly Merlot, with lesser amounts of Cabernet Sauvignon and Petit Verdot depending on vintage, The Tempest is a roiling cauldron of lush, bright, red fruit - a wine that shows what Merlot can be in the right hands, from the right vineyards.

Dana Estates Lotus Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon 2015 750mlAfter over two years in barrel, the 2015 Lotus Cabernet Sauvignon displays a deep purple color and a youthful vibrancy. Aromas of blackberry, roasted plums, espresso, India ink, graphite, dark chocolate, and nutmeg. The wine is full bodied with a creamy richness. It captures the essence of Lotus Vineyard in its firm structure and concentration while retaining energy and balance. Classic blue and black fruit preserves, and warm spice flavors coat the palate. Enjoy 2019 through 2035 and beyond.
- wa97-100
Saxum G2 Vineyard Red 2016 750mlIt is a truly exotic wine. Not far beneath the core of plum and blood orange there are scents of what I would imagine a Moroccan market would smell like, incense and spice and perhaps a touch of something illegal (at least in most of the US!). I think this wine will reward some patience in the cellar, more so than the other Grenache blends we made in 2016. Give her 3 years to really strut her stuff.
- jd99
- wa94-96
- ws93
Saxum Terry Hoage Vineyard 2016 750mlWe found the Grenache to be the super star of the vintage and wanted to preserve its purity and beauty, so we chose to age this blend primarily in 1 large oak Foudre (3000 Liters). This allowed the wine to retain it's energy and precision, even though it's a ripe, juicy, fruit dominated wine. Sticking with the theme of 16, pleasure balanced with intrigue and depth of purity.

Booker Vineyard The Ones 2 Box Set 2016 750ml98-100 JD - A 100% Syrah cuvée, the 2016 Syrah Ones comes from the best block on the estate, which was pulled from the Fracture cuvée as it didn't blend well. Crème de cassis, black raspberries, smoke, crushed violets and vanilla bean, it has an ethereal texture, killer purity and fine tannin. It's going to flirt with perfect, 98 JD - One of the finest Bordeaux blends to yet come from these awesome hillsides is the 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon Ones. Made from 100% Cabernet Sauvignon brought up in 80% new barrels, this crazy good 2016 boasts a saturated purple color and awesome notes of crème de cassis, blackberries, scorched earth, graphite, and chocolate. It too is a massive, opulent, unctuous beauty and has sweet tannins, thrilling purity of fruit, and terrific overall balance. Hide bottles for 2-4 years and it should keep for 10-15 years, probably quite a bit longer.

Since I have been chronicling my life through my sketchbooks for more than a decade, I thought that I would share a few pages from past visual journals.
These few pages are from my 1996 sketchbook called "HOME: Summer '96"which I kept during my summer back home in Bangalore, India.The sketches document the time I spent with my father while he underwent a bypass surgery, my high school.... a gorgeous structure founded in 1858 which was razed to the ground due to the rapid changes taking place in Bangalore (I'm glad I did that sketch before they tore the building down), our daschund Snoopy, when my cousin Bastian came home, and my problematic knees.
It is interesting for me to revisit these old sketchbooks of mine, and see recurring themes and the slow development over the years.

In reality I am not the advanced gardener of my dreams. The vision of me wading through overgrown rows of sun warmed produce with a wicker basket in one hand while the other plucks craggy and beautifully imperfect heirloom tomatoes from their fragrant vines, is just that – a vision. I have to believe that someday it will happen but until then I'll live in my carefully painted dreams of the jungle-like garden overflowing with rainbow colored chard, enough sugar snap peas to last an entire afternoon of snacking, and berries by the buckets, able to fill dozens of pies and tarts.
In this present time I can, however, produce enough herbs that leave me feeling anxious as to what I am to do with them all. Currently my sage is large enough to swallow one of the children whole and whatever the sage doesn't devour I have no doubt the parsley will. In an effort to make room for something other than herbs in the garden I've formed numerous bouquets with the flowering parts, made pesto in various forms, and created this enticing bubbly soda that satisfies and refreshes as the best summer beverages should.

Honey Herb Soda
I've used honey as the sweetener here giving me all the more reason to drink this by the pitcher. Make this floral and fizzy brew all the more fancy with the addition of herb ice. Simply put pretty little herb leaves and flowers into ice trays, fill with water, freeze and serve.
1/2 cup honey
1 cup water
a few sprigs herbs such as thyme, mint, rosemary, basil, lemon verbena, tarragon, etc. You can mix and match as you please.
In a small sauce pan bring the honey and water to a boil. Reduce to medium-high and simmer rapidly for three minutes. Turn off the heat and add the herbs. Steep and let cool.
From this point you can remove the herbs, cover and refrigerate and keep for at least two weeks.
To make a glass of your herb soda add a couple of tablespoons of the honey herb syrup to a large glass. Add 1-2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice then top with soda water. Taste and adjust sweetness/lemon to your taste. Add your fancy ice and straw. If you have one of those big floppy summer hats, now would be a completely appropriate time to wear it.

Fewer seek US jobless aid as storm distorts data
WASHINGTON (AP) -- The number of people seeking unemployment benefits fell sharply to a seasonally adjusted 410,000 last week, though the figure was elevated for the second straight week by Superstorm Sandy.
The Labor Department says applications dropped 41,000 from the previous week, when the storm drove applications to their highest level in 18 months. The four week average, a less volatile measure, rose 9,500 to 396,250.
Sandy could distort the data for another week, department officials say. The storm caused nearly 44,000 people in New York and 31,000 in New Jersey to seek unemployment aid two weeks ago, the latest state data available.
Before the storm, applications fluctuated between 360,000 and 390,000 for most of this year. At the same time, the unemployment rate fell from 8.3 percent to 7.9 percent.

NHL unveils 2012 national television scheduleNHL.com @NHLdotcom
NEW YORK -- The National Hockey League (NHL) announced today the television schedules for national partners NBC, NBC Sports Network, CBC, TSN, TSN2, RDS and NHL Network-U.S. for the 2012-13 regular season.
In the U.S., NBC and NBC Sports Network enter the second season of the 10-year agreement with the NHL, the largest media rights deal in League history. It also is the eighth consecutive season both networks have served as a national television partner of the NHL in the U.S. In Canada, CBC's Hockey Night in Canada begins its 60th regular season of NHL® broadcasts. TSN, whose relationship with the NHL dates back to 1987, continues as the League's national English-language cable partner. French-language telecast partner RDS has been televising NHL games since its inception in 1989 and enters its 10th consecutive season presenting every Montreal Canadiens game.
NBC Sports Group
Throughout the season, NBC Sports Group once again will offer hockey fans in the U.S. more than 100 games across NBC and NBC Sports Network. NBC Sports Network will air NHL games three consecutive nights each week on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. Wednesday nights will be exclusive, and in January, NBC Sports Network will add a second exclusive night on Sundays, giving NHL fans four straight nights of hockey action. The network will include a live pre-game (NHL Live™) and post-game (NHL Overtime™) show before and after every telecast. NBC Sports Network also will televise NHL All-Star Weekend live from Columbus, Ohio, Jan. 25-27, 2013. Coverage includes the NHL All-Star Player Fantasy Draft™, NHL All-Star Skills Competition™ and the NHL® All-Star Game.
For the second consecutive season, NHL on NBC broadcast coverage launches on Thanksgiving Friday, with the 2012 Discover NHL Thanksgiving Showdown™ featuring the Boston Bruins playing host to the New York Rangers at 1:00 p.m. ET. NBC will follow up that broadcast with the 2013 Bridgestone NHL Winter Classic® on Tuesday, Jan. 1, at Michigan Stadium on the campus of the University of Michigan, before airing the weekly "Game of the Week" beginning Jan. 20. On Feb. 17, Hockey Day in America will be expanded to a triple-header, with two afternoon games on NBC followed by evening game on NBC Sports Network.
CBC's Hockey Night in Canada returns for is 60th season, marking a new milestone for one of the longest running and most iconic programs in Canadian television history. The 60th anniversary season is highlighted by 101 regular-season games, including a special Thursday, Nov. 1, match-up between the Boston Bruins and Toronto Maple Leafs, just as it did in 1952 when Hockey Night in Canada first took to the TV airwaves. The 2013 Bridgestone NHL Winter Classic® and the 60th NHL All-Star Game also return exclusively to CBC this season. Hockey Night in Canada on CBC will continue to honor Canada's pastime as Scotiabank Hockey Day in Canada celebrates its 13th annual broadcast from Lloydminster AB/SK, Canada's only border town, on Feb. 9, 2013. All Canadian teams will be featured on the day-long broadcast, which commemorates and highlights local hockey heroes.
With CBC's Hockey Night in Canada continued commitment to connect Canadians to the NHL and the sport of hockey no matter where they are on game night, all 101 regular-season games will be streamed online as well as available for iPad and iPhone users.
TSN platforms will broadcast 237 NHL regular-season games during the 2012-13 season, its most extensive broadcast package ever.

I get in from my morning run and tackle the apartment. It was K's birthday yesterday and I cooked her favourite – spaghetti in fresh tomato and basil sauce and a Caprese salad made with good buffalo mozzarella. My signature dish! A very simple meal for which I completely wrecked our kitchen; every knife, plate and surface in the place used, as usual.
Her two friends, A and M, arrive this afternoon to stay with us for a week so I make a little extra effort. I mop the floors to a shine and then put my sweaty self under the shower. Coffee and toast at my side I sit down to write, my own mind wiped a little cleaner by the sea air and the endorphins. It is often as I run that a story will begin – in the evenings I am too cluttered by the details of that day to find what I am looking for.
This morning my mind is that bit fresher. Deep cleansed. We have just returned from ancient Elvira; the city of pomegranates. The place we go to wash ourselves of worry and distraction, where we return regularly for a dose of clarity. More

Sarkozy's new Africa policy may have been a disquieting change in course for Africans, yet not a surprise to them. Many Africans were wary of Sarkozy before he took office. As Interior Minister, a job he held twice under President Chirac, Sarkozy was well known for his no-nonsense law-and-order views. At Interior, Sarkozy made remarks that raised flags about his sensitivity toward France's minorities, particularly those with origins in Africa, either the Maghreb or sub-Saharan Africa. In June 2005, after the killing of a young boy in a troubled Paris suburb with a high number of minorities, Sarkozy said he would clean the area out "with a Karcher," referring to a German high-pressure, water-hose cleaner. At the time of the November 2005 riots in France, Sarkozy described the rioters as "voyous" (thugs) and "racaille" (scum, rabble), the latter term generating strong critical responses from France's minorities and from others worried about their Interior Minister's (and possible next President's) views on ethnic issues.

"As an international student, moving to a whole new country is very daunting. The
Host Family Program here at Alverno gives international students, like myself, that
safe family feeling back that we are missing.
I am so glad I signed up with the host family program, as it helped me settle in to my new surroundings. It was really nice to know there were people here who wanted to support me and be there when I needed them, exactly like a family. Overall they enhanced my experience here, and I know I will keep connected with my American family, as I feel they are my extended family now." - Rebecca Johnston (Northern Ireland)
The host family program is sponsored by the International and Intercultural Center (IIC) here at Alverno College. It is designed to connect international students with members of the Alverno Community. It presents an opportunity to welcome students to the United States and to introduce our customs, culture and community.
Families are not expected to provide housing for international students, nor do they assume financial responsibility. The host family program is designed for families to interact with their student on a regular basis at times most convenient for both parties. Families are also encouraged to invite the student to their home for dinner or family functions such as holidays or other events.
Additionally there are activities organized by the IIC that students and their host families may attend. See our Host Family Brochure(pdf) for more details on host family activities.
If you would like to receive our International Host Family Newsletter each semester or for more information becoming a Host, contact Celia Jackson, at email@example.com.

- Open Access Policy
- NIH/HHMI Wellcome Trust Policies
- Self-Archiving Policy
Statement of Purpose and Policy
Journal of Interferon & Cytokine Research publishes original articles in the following formats; research reports, review articles and correspondence, covering all aspects of interferon and cytokine research ranging from the molecular biology of interferon and cytokine systems to their use in the clinic.
Manuscript Submissions
All submitting authors are required to complete their submissions using an ORCID identifier. Please visit the ORCID website for more information, or to register.
Please submit manuscripts online using the following URL: http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/interferoncytokine
Create An Account in Manuscript Central
If you do not already have an account in Manuscript Central for Journal of Interferon and Cytokine Research, you will need to create one. Once you create your account, you may log in to the system to begin your submission.
Use of English Language
All submissions must be in English. Appropriate use of the English language is a requirement for review and publication in Journal of Interferon and Cytokine Research. For authors whose native language is not English, we suggest using a service that can aid in the translation and rewriting of material into correct and proper English usage. The Publisher offers this service with a subsidy from the author prior to official submission. It is important to note that employing the use of the Publisher's service does not guarantee acceptance of any paper. All submissions are subject to peer review.
It is incumbent upon the submitting author to ensure the accuracy and inclusion of all contributing authors' names and affiliations upon original submission of the paper. Once a paper is accepted for publication, changes in authorship – including the page proof stage – are NOT permitted. Changes in authorship after publication are strictly prohibited.
Corresponding Author
It is the Journal's policy that a manuscript has only ONE corresponding author listed on a paper. This designation should be determined at the time of submission. Additions to corresponding authors are not permitted after acceptance or in page proofs.
Peer Review
All submissions to the Journal are subject to peer review. Authors are encouraged, but not required, to supply the names and email addresses of up to five potential reviewers, as well as the names of individuals whom the authors would prefer not be selected as a reviewer. However, the review selection is ultimately at the discretion of the Editor.
Expedited Peer-Review
An option for an expedited peer-review process is available in which a final decision including the referees' critiques will be forwarded to the corresponding author within a three-week period from the receipt of the completed manuscript at the editorial office. The cost for this service is $250.00 and is paid by the corresponding author. A payment window will appear when all files have been downloaded. We accept American Express/Optima, VISA, and MasterCard.
Color Illustrations
Color figures submitted for peer-review are expected to be published in color. Authors should determine that the use of color is essential prior to submission, and the cost for color printing must be subsidized by the author(s). Price estimates are available from the Publisher upon request. Please consider these expenditures when preparing your manuscript for submission
Page charges for this journal are set at $75.00 USD per typeset page. Nonpayment of page charges may result in a delay in publication. Costs for printing images in color are a separate fee and are not included in the page charge total.
Editorial Policy
The Journal of Interferon and Cytokine Research publishes manuscripts that are original works, no part of which have been submitted for publication or published elsewhere except as brief abstracts. Duplicate publication, falsification, plagiarism (including self-plagiarism), or fabrication will be considered actionable misconduct. All submitted manuscripts will be processed through plagiarism detection software. Misconduct does not include honest error or differences in interpretations or judgments of data. All authors are deemed to be individually and collectively responsible for the content of papers and must acknowledge their approval of the submitted manuscript. Citations for personal communication and other contributions not recognized by authorship are also subject to this expectation.
The Editors-in-Chief are responsible for the editorial conduct of the Journal and for compliance with relevant policies and procedures. When an allegation of misconduct is raised regarding a manuscript the Editors will take the following course of action. Review and processing of unpublished manuscripts will stop while no immediate action will be taken for published work until the matter is resolved. The Editors will provide details of the allegation to the corresponding author(s) and/or specifically identified author(s) in a nonjudgmental manner and request some explanatory response. While the Editors are obligated to ensure that the suspicion of misconduct has been addressed, they do not make such determinations. Should the author's response fail to resolve the situation satisfactorily, the Editors reserve the right to forward relevant material to the appropriate authorities at the author's institution for further investigation. Until the matter is clarified, no papers by involved authors of the disputed manuscript will be considered for publication. Issues relating to contested authorship will be handled by the same procedure.
If scientific misconduct is confirmed by institutional review, the Editor-in-Chief will decide upon the appropriate action which may include official withdrawal of a published article, rejection of a manuscript at any stage before publication, or letter of reprimand. If no scientific misconduct is found, the manuscript (if unpublished) will be scheduled for publication. For errors in a published article not deemed to be misconduct, an Erratum or Letter to the Editor will be published.
Upon acceptance of any manuscript processed through Manuscript Central, all authors will receive a follow-up email with instructions on completing our online Copyright Agreement form. Each author will receive individualized links to their copyright form. Authors will not be permitted to "share" or forward these individualized links as they are unique to each author. Therefore, it is critical to ensure the accuracy of ALL authors' email addresses when uploading submissions to ensure the proper delivery of each copyright form, and any other pertinent email communications.
The corresponding author is responsible for communicating with coauthors to ensure they have completed the online copyright form. Authors not permitted to release copyright must still return the form acknowledging the statement of the reason for not releasing the copyright.
Failure by all authors to submit this form will result in a delay in publication.
The author must obtain permission whenever it is required in conjunction with the reproduction of material such as figures and tables from copyrighted material. Written permission must be obtained from the publisher (not the author or editor) of the journal or book concerned. The publication from which the figure or table is taken must be included in the reference list. All permission listings must be shown in the manuscript—they cannot be entered on proofs. Written permission must be obtained from the author of any unpublished material cited from other laboratories, and should accompany the manuscript.
Patient Release Information
If applicable, it is incumbent upon the author(s) to obtain patient release statements of permission to reproduce any identifiable images of patients. The submitting author should provide written confirmation of this critical information. Acceptable forms of consent statements are emails or letters. The Journal does not provide a generic patient release form.
The written consent must contain specific information about the patient's name, age, and if pertinent, conservatorship – as well as stated permission – granting the Journal the rights to publish the photograph within its pages (which includes the name of the Journal and article title).
Research Reports should follow the format provided in detail below.
Review Articles should cover areas of topical interest in the basic biology or interferons and cytokines or their use in the clinic. The recommended length is 4–8 journal pages (approximately 1000 words/page) with 2–3 diagrams or illustrations. Reference citations require full titles and complete pagination.
Correspondence In addition to the above formats, the Journal will consider the publication of various forms of correspondence relating to the research community involved in interferon and cytokine research including letters to the editor, meeting reports, historical perspectives etc. Please contact the Editors-in-Chief if you would like to submit a correspondence.
All Letters to the Editor should be no more than 500 words and contain no more than one (1) table OR figure, with a maximum of four (4) references.
Preparation of Research Reports
Title Page
Please note that information entered in the online submission form will be used for publication purposes (e.g., author contact information and affiliations). Please also include the following information on the title page:
Title: Titles should be no more than three typeset lines (generally 135 characters including spaces) and should be comprehensible to a broad scientific audience. Please provide a running title of fewer than 40 characters.
Author affiliation: Include department, institution, and complete address, with the ZIP/postal code, for each author. Use superscripts to match authors with institutions.
Corresponding author: The name, complete address, telephone number, and e-mail address of the author to whom correspondence and proofs should be sent.
Keywords: At least three keywords are required during the manuscript submission process.
Supply an abstract of no more than 200 words stating the aims, results, and conclusions drawn from the study. Do not include section headings. Reference citations are not permitted in the abstract.
Visual Abstract
Visual abstracts (VAs) allow readers to analyze quickly the main purpose of a paper and assist in the identification of papers that are most relevant to their interests or areas of research. They are designed to promote interdisciplinary scholarship and to increase the visibility of one's work in search engines. Authors are required to submit an image (visual abstract) that clearly outlines the work described in the paper. See below for instructions for file preparation and submission. (For those who are not able to supply a visual abstract themselves, the Publisher can provide one at a cost of $200 USD per visual abstract. Contact firstname.lastname@example.com for more information.)
The Introduction should assume that the reader is knowledgeable in the field and should therefore be as brief as possible but can include a short historical review where desirable.
Materials and Methods
This section should contain sufficient detail, so that all experimental procedures can be reproduced, and include references. Methods, however, that have been published in detail elsewhere should not be described in detail. Authors should provide the name of the manufacturer and their location for any specifically named medical equipment and instruments, and all drugs should be identified by their pharmaceutical names, and by their trade name if relevant.
The Results section should briefly present the experimental data in text, tables or figures. Tables and figures should not be described extensively in the text, either.
The discussion should focus on the interpretation and the significance of the findings with concise objective comments that describe their relation to other work in the area. It should not repeat information in the results. The final paragraph should highlight the main conclusion(s), and provide some indication of the direction future research should take.
These should be brief, and should include sources of support including sponsorship (e.g. university, charity, commercial organization) and sources of material (e.g. novel drugs) not available commercially.
Disclosure Statement
Immediately following the Acknowledgments section, include a section entitled "Author Disclosure Statement." In this portion of the article, authors must disclose any commercial associations that might create a conflict of interest in connection with submitted manuscripts. This statement should include appropriate information for EACH author, thereby representing that competing financial interests of all authors have been appropriately disclosed according to the policy of the Journal. It is important that all conflicts of interest, whether they are actual or potential, be disclosed. This information will remain confidential while the article is being reviewed and will not influence the editorial decision. Please see the Uniform Requirements for Manuscripts Submitted to Biomedical Journals at www.icmje.org for further guidance. If no conflicts exist, the authors must state ''No competing financial interests exist.''
A complete list of authors, titles, and page numbers must be included in each reference. Each reference must be cited in the text and listed in parentheses with author last name and year of publication (see examples below; three or more authors should be listed as (Author and others 2005). Reference list must be typed double spaced and references listed alphabetically. When data from an unpublished source are given, supply complete information, e.g., the researcher's name and location. If work is in press, give the journal in which it is to be published.

One of my favorite units to teach (yes, I know, I say that about all the units) is the farm. I realized that I've never written here about that, although we usually do some really fun things. Due to our shortened school year this year, our unit was really cut short. I thought I would share some of the things we did this year, as well as in years past.
Over the years, I've gotten many of my great ideas and activities from other great teachers who have very generously shared their ideas on their websites and blogs. Pre-K Pages is a great website and I've gotten several wonderful farm themed ideas there. I make the "OINK! Game" with cards for literacy and for math.
I loved the Folded Barn on Pre-K Pages, and use that with a mini daily activity that I do. Each day, I post a simple "how to draw a ..." farm animal with 3 or 4 easy steps using basic shapes. It's mostly about the fine motor practice and following directions. The barn is a cute way to collectively display the "mini activities".
This barn displays a horse, pig, cow and duck (just in case you needed a little interpretation).
We are really working on fine motor skills at this point in the year, and need lots of practice tracing and cutting. The pigs on the bulletin board at the beginning of this post were a great way to help the kids practice those skills without realizing it.( I could have simply traced the shapes, and photocopied it on color paper for the kids to cut out, but they would miss out on the tracing skills.) They traced coffee can lids to make the shapes for the pigs.
After they cut out the circles, it's fun to see how they put them together.
They really come out cute, however they are assembled.
We made the chicks on that bulletin board out of loops of yellow paper.
We try to change the learning environment often, and add theme materials whenever possible. In our dramatic play area, we converted our "box" to a barn to house our stick ponies. I made stick ponies for years out of small mop handles and paper and they would always be destroyed within a couple of days. I finally found these cute stick ponies at the Dollar Tree.
I pulled out every farm animal toy I could find for the children to explore and play with.
In our flannelboard center, I have pieces available for The Little Red Hen, Old MacDonald, as well as this wonderful set with 100+ pieces of farm felts.
I added a small set of farm stencils to our writing and art centers, and smiled to myself when the kids discovered this farm themed stencil in our alphabet stencils.
Last year, this was a longer unit and near the end of the year, our writing skills were coming along nicely. We wrote this lovely class story about the farm. Looking at this story now, many months later, I can tell which stories we'd recently read (Click, Clack Moo, Duck On a Bike, Mrs. Wishy Washy) just by the details they'd written in the story. I am beaming with pride as I look back and see how this groups writing skills developed and progressed. I am so excited to see what this new group envisions when we become more skilled at writing stories.
Once Upon a Farmby Mrs. Ayn's Pre-K 2Once day on the farm, there was a pig, a horsey, a cow, and a goat. They were all in a big corral. The duck was on a bike. The animals tried to ride a skateboard. Then, they wanted to ride on the tractor. The farmer came and told them to come inside to take a bath. After the bath, they ate cookies, pizza and milk and crawled under their electric blankets. The End
We of course read lots of great farm themed books, act like farm animals with visors and puppets, and act out familiar stories like Mrs. Wishy Washy. We sing lots of fun farm songs. One of our favorites is "Down On The Farm" on the Simple Songs For Preschool cd from Deborah Stewart of Teach Preschool. It's a great cd with easy to learn and easy to sing songs. Get your copy by clicking the links above.
"Mrs. Ayn's Pre-K
had a farm...
And on that farm
They had some fun,
I'm having difficulty with the Amazon widget again, but hope to come back and post some of our favorite farm reads soon!

Java Arrays in Jython - JArrayMany Java methods require Java array objects as arguments. The way that these arguments are used means that they must correspond to fixed-length, mutable sequences, sometimes of primitive data types. The PyArray class is added to support these Java arrays and instances of this class will be automatically returned from any Java method call that produces an array. In addition, the "jarray" module is provided to allow users of Jython to create these arrays themselves, primarily for the purpose of passing them to a Java method.
The jarray module exports two functions:
array(sequence, type) zeros(length, type)
array will create a new array of the same length as the input sequence and will populate it with the values in sequence. zeros will create a new array of the given length filled with zeros (or null's if appropriate).
type can either be a single character typecode (using the same mappings as Python's array module) or it can be an instance of a JavaClass object. The valid typecodes are shown in the following table:
>>> from jarray import zeros, array >>> array([1,2,3], 'd') array([1.0, 2.0, 3.0], double) >>> zeros(3, 'f') array([0.0, 0.0, 0.0], float) >>> from java.util import Hashtable >>> array([Hashtable(), Hashtable()], Hashtable) array([<java.util.Hashtable instance at 2045730>, <java.util.Hashtable instance at 2045714>], java.util.Hashtable) >>> zeros(5, Hashtable) array([None, None, None, None, None], java.util.Hashtable)This example show how to create an array of three specific doubles, a length-three array of floats, an array of two specific instance of java.util.Hashtable, and an empty array of java.util.Hashtable's.

Next Generation Science Standards Connection:
Students will be required to research a scientific question by exploring how sound travels through different phases of matter. They will have to analyze and test whether or not sound travels best in solids, liquids or gases. Using cause and effect the students will demonstrate an understanding of the sound waves ability to travel through the different phases of matter. My students will record their observations and evidence in their Wave: Sound and Light Journals.
Classroom Structures:
In order to support a high level of student discourse within my science lessons I have assigned two different student partnerships. Turn and Talk Partners are discourse partners that work together to share the deep thinking that happens throughout the day. Workshop Partners are partners who are matched together for the purpose of working during our independent times. In this lesson students will be engaged in both partnerships.
Prior Knowledge Needed:
Students should have a basic understanding of sound waves, pitch, and volume. They should understand that sound is made by sound waves (vibrations) and sound can make matter move.
Home-School Connection:
I LOVE involving parents in the learning in my classroom. This parent letter is both an introduction to our next two units as well as a request for supplies. Many of the items used to teach this unit are recyclable items so I ask for help from parents and colleagues.
1. 6 quart size bags filled with sand, water and air
2. Popsicle sticks
4. Science Journals - I use blank paper in my journals so my students have more space and freedom to experiment with graphic organizers, illustrations, etc.
5. What is best for sound travel? (8160 Avery Address Labels)
To begin this lesson I want to activate student prior knowledge by reminding the students what they learned in our previous lesson about sound. I will remind my students that we have spent a lot of time studying sound vibrations. We have learned that vibrations and sound waves make sound and sound can make matter vibrate. I refer my students to our "wonderings" anchor chart.
Boys and girls the other day you learned that sound is a form of energy. It is something we can feel. You learned that when sounds get louder the matter shakes and moves. The louder sound get the more it causes the matter to rattle or move about. Do you remember the louder you scream at the sugar the more it rattled? You have learned so much about sound.
We have learned that sound is made from vibrations also called sound waves and those waves travel to our ear drum. Our ear drum sends messages to our brain that tells us what we are hearing. You learned that when the vibrations change, the pitch and volume change. We also learned that sound can make matter move.
Today we are going to learn all about sound travel. Let's travel around the room. Follow me and we will travel to the drinking fountain, now the lockers and back to our meeting area. (I travel my students around the room to add context to that word). Travel means moving from one place to another.
Now that we have traveled around the room, I want the students to begin their exploration.
Boys and girls today you will answer this question: Can sound travel through matter? This is a very important question for us to answer. At your tables there are three bags set up for you and your partner. The sand is the solid, the water is the _____? Yes! Liquid and the air is the gas. You will need to work together today to answer our question.
At the tables I have set 6 quart size bags filled with either sand, water and air. Be sure to remove all the air from the bag with sand and water. The partners take turns putting their ear up to each bag while the other gently taps the table with a Popsicle stick. After the partners have explored sound travel with each of the three bags they record the answer to their question in their Science Journal. After they have finished their work in their journals we meet back at the meeting area to share what we have learned. After the students share their findings with their turn and talk partners I ask the next question.
Boys and girls today you discovered that sound can travel through solids, liquids and gas but I have another question for you to answer today. "Which is the best for sound travel? Does sound travel best in solids, liquids or gas? I want you to go back to the three bags and I want you to answer this question. Once you have answered it I want to write your answer in your science journal.
In this section the students will be recording information, thoughts and ideas in their science journals. I also use their science journals as a great formative assessment tool.
After allowing the students to explore the second question I have them join me on the carpet (our meeting area) to explain their new understandings. I ask the students a question, "Which is better for sound travel: solid, liquid or gas?" I allow the children a few minutes to share their thinking with their Turn and Talk Partner. As they are sharing I wander the group to listen in the conversations. I encourage the students to state a reason for why. I want my students to listen to all opinions and arguments. As I walk around I listen for both new understandings and misconceptions. When we rejoin I share out all the smart thinking I heard.
WOW! Boys and girls you have shared so many smart things I don't even know where to begin. Stimson, you think that solid is the best one for sound travel. You said you could hear the sound the loudest. Vincent you shared that when you hit the table Patrick yelled because it was so loud. Which bag was his ear listening to? The sand? So you agree with Jonah that sound is heard the loudest when traveling through a solid. Who has a different idea?
If you wish to add an ELA Common Core connection you could have the students write a persuasive piece of writing arguing which phase of matter is best for sound travel.
Sample persuasive writing 1, persuasive writing 2, persuasive writing 3
After the student have completed this entry I have them share their persuasive writing in our "Author's Chair."
Research shows that our students are more likely to gain a deeper understanding of the science concepts when they are actively engaged in doing science. I believe that technology can allow children to experience this type of learning. In order to elaborate on the students' learning I will show them this video on sound travel. The whole video is 23 minutes but for this lesson you will only need the first 4 minutes.
I show the students the video and stop the video at 4 minutes and 10 seconds.
Boys and girls, I have a very important question for you. Why did the sound travel through the brick wall and through the metal fence? Does any one have any thoughts to share on why she could hear the tapping on the brick? I allow the children to share their thinking. You learned that sound can travel through matter. So, if sound can travel through matter how can this help people to talk to each other if they are far away? Please turn and talk and share your thinking.
As my students share their thinking I will be going around from partnership to partnership listening for any ideas that help people communicate.
As we sit in our meeting area I conclude by saying, "Boys and girls you learned that sound can travel through matter. This is very important to know. If you put your ear up to a table and your friend taps the table the sound is so much louder than if you didn't have your ear on the table. You discovered that sound travels best through solids. I want you to listen to me tap my ladder. Does that sound very loud to you? Now put your ear up against the end of my ladder. Does that sound louder! YES! It is a lot louder because sound travels best through solids.
In wrap up I want us to reflect on all the great thinking and learning that happened today.
In order to check for understanding, Today I asked you which is the best for sound travel? Does sound travel best in solids, liquids or gas? I want you to think for a minute and see if you can answer our question today. Please share with your Turn and Talk partner. After a brief discussion I ask my students to record their new learning in their science journals.
Boys and girls will you take a minute to write the answer to our question today in your science journal? Great! Off you go!
As my students work I walk around and confer with each group naming and noticing the smart thinking happening. Conferring is the process of listening and recording the work the student or students are doing and then compliment the work. As I listen, I research a teaching point and then work to provide clarification through questioning, modeling and re-teaching.
I conclude by saying, Boys and girls today and everyday when you hear sounds or make sounds I want you to know that your sound waves can travel through matter. When you want to talk to someone far away you can use a telephone that sends sound waves through matter to the person you are talking to. If sound waves didn't travel through matter we wouldn't have telephones! So you can see sound waves are very important.

8 amazing outdoor music venues
By Marie Glancy O'Shea, Special to CNN • Published 11th June 2013
View Gallery
8 Pictures
In warm weather, the sound of music is everywhere -- in parks, at waterfronts and blasting from car radios. Like food, music is different (and often better) when sampled alfresco. It's not just a matter of acoustics: cool breezes, newly cut grass and open skies stimulate all the senses, heightening the total experience.
A truly memorable encounter, though, means quality music performed in an inspiring setting. Across the United States and abroad, summertime heralds festivals and concert series in venues ranging from romantic to regal. Find the right outdoor concert and you're sure to remember it as a highlight of your year.
Here are eight places to let the music move you.
Red Rocks Amphitheatre
Morrison, Colorado
Even legendary entertainers should worry about this spectacular venue upstaging them.
The Amphitheatre
, opened in 1941, incorporates the natural formations of red sandstone in Red Rocks Park, 15 miles west of Denver. As if the geology alone wasn't dazzling enough, the region's typically clear skies mean concertgoers can expect to gaze up at sparkling stars.
6 hot resorts for adults only
The Amphitheatre is open year-round; in summer, the schedule is packed with acts of every genre.
Among artists appearing this year
are Keith Urban, The Avett Brothers, Bruno Mars, The National and Josh Groban with the Colorado Symphony. Tickets can be purchased through
Caramoor Center for Music and the Arts
Katonah, New York
Wealthy New Yorkers Walter and Lucie Rosen established the
Caramoor estate
in Westchester County as a weekend getaway in the 1920s. The Mediterranean-style villa designed by Walter Rosen reflected their love of Italian culture; their affinity for music was expressed in intimate concerts they hosted there. In 1946 three public concerts were held on the estate; they became Caramoor's Summer Music Festival, which has grown in scope and fame in the decades since.
Airports where architecture soars
The festival's program includes classical, opera, jazz, roots and Broadway music; this year it opens June 22 and runs until August 7, with events happening most days. Concerts are held indoors and out, so when
purchasing tickets on the venue's website
look for events in the Spanish Courtyard or Venetian Theater, or on the picnic lawns, where you can spread a blanket and have a meal. Emmylou Harris and Rodney Crowell are playing in the Venetian Theater on July 13.
Deer Valley Resort
Park City, Utah
Once the snow melts and the skiers go home, Deer Valley turns up the lights on its
Snow Park Outdoor Amphitheater
, where the
Deer Valley Music Festival
sends melodies ringing through the Wasatch Mountains twilight. It's part of a very busy "off season" in Park City, where relatively cool summers are ideal for hiking, mountain biking, and other outdoor activities.
The festival runs from late June to the middle of August; its summer lineup pairs the Utah Symphony with acts like the Indigo Girls, Mandy Patinkin and Steve Martin with The Steep Canyon Rangers and Edie Brickell. Tickets can be purchased from the Abravanel Hall Ticket Office, 1-801-533-6683, or through
Millennium Park
This section of Chicago's historic Grant Park opened in 2004 and showcases some of the best urban design and public art in the country. The
Grant Park Music Festival
is held in the Frank Gehry-designed Pritzker Pavilion; other intriguing features include "Cloud Gate," the already-iconic sculpture inspired by liquid mercury and nicknamed The Bean, and the Crown Fountain, which combines video images with running water. The festival draws top classical musicians from around the world to join the Grant Park Orchestra and Chorus on the shores of Lake Michigan.
Dating back to the Great Depression, the Grant Park Music Festival is free and runs June-August. This year's performers include violinist Stefan Jackiw and pianist Valentina Lisitsa.
5 spectacular art fair cities
The Gorge Amphitheatre
George, Washington
As the Columbia River rolls majestically through central Washington State, it passes The Gorge Amphitheatre, beautifully located with views of the river valley and the Cascade foothills beyond. Take time to marvel at the landscape and its hues of green, brown and blue by reserving a spot at the
on-site campground
-- or "glamping" (a camping alternative for the less rugged among us) in a rustic cottage.
The Gorge hosts big name contemporary acts and festivals of various genres. In late June, the two-day Paradiso Festival will feature DJ headliners Kaskade and Tiësto. Tickets for all events can be purchased through
Live Nation
Camping: Horror or bliss?
The Greek Theatre
Los Angeles
Set amid the trees of Griffith Park in the heart of L.A.,
The Greek Theatre
has garnered plenty of fame over its 84-year history. In 1972 Neil Diamond recorded "Hot August Night" here, the album that he said made his career. Nicholas Stoller's 2010 film "Get Him to the Greek" assumed everyone would know the landmark referred to in its title.
The Greek's season runs from May through October, with a variety of genres represented. This summer's lineup has a nostalgic flavor, with acts like Cyndi Lauper, LL Cool J, and Jethro Tull's Ian Anderson appearing. Tickets can be purchased through
The places where masterpieces are born
Gendarmenmarkt Square
Dominated by two cathedrals and a magnificent concert house, Berlin's Gendarmenmarkt Square seems purpose-built for the performance of sumptuous music. Since shortly after the fall of the Wall, that's exactly what it has hosted over a long weekend each summer. Concerts in the
Classic Open Air Festival
begin at 7:30 p.m., so you can watch the sun set to the strains of Vivaldi or Wagner.
This year's festival runs for five consecutive nights, July 4-8. The program includes baroque, opera and pop, with fireworks on opening night and a light and laser show on July 6. Tickets can be purchased at
Ticketmaster Germany
Princes Street Gardens
Edinburgh, Scotland
Beneath the rocky splendor of Edinburgh Castle lies Princes Street Gardens, site of the
Edinburgh International Festival's concluding Fireworks Concert
. The Scottish Chamber Orchestra provides the accompaniment to a colorful pyrotechnic display, and this is the spot from which to see and hear the extravaganza. The elegant park also hosts a
lively carnival on July 21 as part of the Edinburgh Jazz and Blues Festival
This year's Fireworks Concert is on September 1. Tickets may be purchased online or by calling 44-131/473-2000

I have a free packet in my store to help your students learn baby animal names and practice their writing and early research skills. They can walk around the classroom, or search for the word cards in a tub, and copy them onto their recording worksheet. Once the words are written, they can complete their activity by finding the matching pictures to accompany the text and glue them into position.
If you are like me, and have switched to an older grade you will be very keep to differentiate your activities (all 5000 of them!!) to get the most use out of them.
With that in mind, I created a sentence writing recording page to go along with all of my Write the Room packets to cater for more-able and older students!
It is FREE in my TpT store and you can find it by clicking on the images below.
I would extend my 'better writers' even further by asking them to make sure each sentence has a time connective, an adjective and an adverb.
Thanks so much for stopping by - have a wonderful day!
