Said to be one of the biggest culture shocks one can experience, going on holiday to Japan should be high on the list of every adventurous family. Begin your trip in buzzing Tokyo, where you’ll be dining with robots, chilling in cat cafes or spotting Harajuku girls. Escape the hum of modernity when you spend a few nights in Kyoto, the historic centre of the country. Witness samurai masters and geishas, ancient castles and traditional arts as you explore this picturesque city.majestic Mt. Fuji, if you aren’t up for the climb, even strolling near the iconic mountain will be a once in a lifetime experience.
Cuba is truly a glimpse into another world, and as it opens up to tourism, there is no better time to plan a family break here. Begin your trip in Havana where you can explore the colonial-era streets, taking pictures and browsing in shops. The action-packed city really comes alive at night when the salsa begins and every street corner becomes the venue for a raucous party.

The My Patch concept was developed by Artillery as a solution to recycling many of the unused and outdated samples in our library. Artillery then contacted many of our key suppliers and was overwhelmed with how many off-cuts and outdated samples suppliers were keen to donate and recycle. These materials included: discontinued carpet tiles, rubber flooring, wood veneers, corian chips, laminates, Astroturf off-cuts, textiles, foil insulation, fabric role tubes etc...

The interionic structure of complexes [Ru(è6-Arene)(2-R-C6H4)NdC(Me)-C(Me)dN(2-R-C6H4)- Cl]X was investigated by an integrated experimental (PGSE diffusion and NOE NMR spectroscopy and X-ray single-crystal studies) and theoretical (DFT and ONIOM calculations) approach. PGSE NMR experiments indicated that ion pairing is the main aggregative process in CD2Cl2 and solvents with higher relative permittivity. They also showed that the tendency to ion pairing for isodielectric solvents is higher when the latter are protic. NOE interionic contacts were observed in 2-propanol-d8 even for BARFsalts. Ion pairing was favored by more coordinating counterions and an increase in concentration. An equilibrium between ion pairs and ion quadruples was observed by PGSE measurements in chloroform-d and benzene-d6. Such equilibrium is shifted toward ion quadruples by an increase in the concentration or when least coordinating counterions are used. For small fluorinated counterions, NOE studies located the anion in ion pairs above the plane containing the CdN imine moieties. ONIOM calculations found that this anion-cation orientation was at least 35.9 kJ/mol lower in energy than a second orientation with the anion close to cymene, which, in some cases, was observed in the solid state. NOE investigations on complexes with BPh4- counterion did not allow a single orientation capable of explaining the observed NOEs to be found. X-ray studies showed that one cation is surrounded by two anions. ONIOM calculations found that these two anion-cation orientations have similar energies. X-ray and NOE NMR data strongly suggest that ion quadruples with BPh4- anions are constituted by an alternation of cations and anions. Interionic NOE intensities are almost invariant on passing from ion pairs to ion quadruples with small fluorinated counterions. X-ray studies suggested at least four possible structures of ion quadruples differing in both disposition and orientation of the ionic moieties. Three structures considered by ONIOM calculations were similar in energy, but more stable than the separated ion pairs.

s of oil or 6,000 thousand cubic feet of natural gas. However, under the net income limitation, percentage depletion is limited to 100 percent of the net income from an individual property. In the case of marginal wells, where total deductions often do exceed this net-income, this limitation discourages producers from investing in the continued production from marginal wells.
In my own State of Oklahoma, it is the small independents, basically mom-and-pop operations, producing the majority of oil and natural gas, with 85 percent of Oklahoma's oil coming from marginal wells.
Because marginal wells supply such a significant amount of our oil and gas, it is vital we keep them in operation. According to the Energy Department, between 1994 and 2003, we lost 110 million barrels of crude oil due to plugged marginal wells. Thus, when we lose marginal wells, we become more dependent upon foreign sources of energy, at a time when virtually all agree that U.S. policies should encourage reliance upon domestic sources. Furthermore, we lose domestic jobs to foreign nations.

Report warns the approach raises the risk of failure
Because they appear to be cheaper, low price, technically acceptable procurements are on the rise, but TASC Inc. is making an argument that these kinds of contracts pose a danger to the government over the long haul.
In a recent report, the company spells out when these deals should be used and when they should not.
Critical professional services are the exact opposite, according to the report:
Program risks can include a “significantly underbid work effort and an increased risk of failure,” TASC said. Plus, any shortcomings on a project require money to fix, making the effort more expensive overall than would be a classic approach.
But if lowest price technically acceptable deals continue to rise, TASC did suggest ways to make them less risky.
First, the qualifications for “acceptable” must be made much more rigorous, to the point where “some offerors are found unacceptable or only one offeror is technically acceptable,” TASC said.
Qualifications for this could include scenario-based evaluations that have teams illustrate their breadth of expertise, even going so far as to “provide solutions to specific problems that may arise during the period of performance,” TASC said.
This would give a team an opportunity to “demonstrate that it understands the work sufficiently to solve problems and exhibits, which is not always brought out in [lowest price, technically acceptable] awards,” the company added.
Another fact to weigh is past performance. It would speak greatly of a team’s abilities if they already have projects similar in “size, scope, and, especially, complexity,” TASC said.
In other words: Quality or bust.
Acquiring services from a low bidder overselling their capabilities can also affect those at "home" causing them to pick up the slack of the service provider when they either can't or won't meet the challenge. Perhaps TASC management should practice what they preach and peruse their own house....but then again, that's kinda hard to do since a branch of management is part of the problem.
The sentiments expressed in this article echoed my own. I wanted to forward this article to my upper management; however, the "stream-of-consciousness" style in which this article was written detracted enough from its readability to compel me to write this instead.
TASC has a real interest in making contracts harder on the little/new guy, so this is not surprising. Any hurdles they can get the Government to put up will benefit them. In almost every economic scenario, barriers to entry benefit the larger established companies as the expense of the smaller more nimble companies.
WOW - someone finally "gets it"! And thanks to Washington Tech for publishing this.. Lowest cost is highest risk! When I was a CIO, I found that the high quality talent got things done within budget, and on-time. Lower quality talent usually cost more in over-runs. Translate that into critical government systems, and the risk is. </s> distro

The Alliance Programs & Services Connection To Medical Care Care Management Harm Reduction And Substance Use Counseling Basic Needs Program Support Services
During the PREP graduation ceremony, a new PREP graduate speaks from her heart about the program's impact on her life.
PREP is an intensive, 10-week training for men and women who aree. Participants learn how to educate at-riskon HIV risk reduction and health promotion. PREP is the centerpiece of ASC's comprehensive capacity-building peer training program.
ASC annually trains 150 Peers and supports 40 Peer Educators with stipended internships, job readiness training, and other services. Over the years, dozens of PREP graduates have returned to school, left welfare, and re-entered the workforce. Twenty-two ASC Peer Educators have gone on to become full-time employees at ASC thus far. In fact, fully one-fifth of ASC's full-time staff is comprised of former ASC clients or Peer Educators who have moved up the ranks to become agency employees—a testament to the program's success.
"PREP can be said to have an enormous ripple effect in many different ways," observes Sharen Duke. "The Peers benefit by getting support with their recovery and skills that help them move forward with their lives. At the same time, these Peers function as community role models who help to ‘normalize' prevention, promote HIV testing, and link people with care. The Peers exponentially increase ASC's ability to reach and serve populations at risk. At any given time, ASC's Peer Educators provide services equal to that provided by 15 full-time staff. This saves ASC nearly half a million dollars each year, allowing us to direct our limited resources where they are needed most."


RFID IN HEALTHCARE: A RESEARCH BRIEF
The global market for RFID in Healthcare is projected to reach US$5.4 billion by 2024, driven by the growing trend towards value-based healthcare (VBH) and the resulting need to develop integrated care pathways to ensure superior health outcomes. The market stands to benefit from the growing focus shed by hospitals on productivity optimization achievable by moving patients quickly and effectively in a healthcare unit by using the technology to offer visibility of patients, equipment and drugs in a manner that enables better allocation of resources. The United States represents the largest market worldwide supported by the high incidence of drug counterfeits, favorable government initiatives and the need to enhance operational workflows and reduce costs. Asia-Pacific ranks as the fastest growing market with a CAGR of 23.2% during the analysis period, led by factors such as competitive pharma drug manufacturing sector; focus on RFID as a security measure to optimize supply chain efficiency by weeding out the threat of counterfeit drug trading; growing number of innovative drugs going off patent and a parallel boom in generic drug manufacturing; strong commercialization of the smart hospitals concept; rise of medical tourism and the ensuing focus on achieving excellence of care through the use of RFID to enhance patient safety.

You will probably already have died and humanity might be extinct since 2.5 million hours is 285 years.
Did you just assume I would die?
No need to assume, that's a fact, sorry mate.
2.5M hours MTBF = reliability of 99.7% over 1 year.
2.5M hours MTBF = reliability of 98.3% over 5 years.
And, no, after the warranty expires, you cannot quote MTBF to ask for extended warranty. Furthermore, WD does not guarantee a brand new replacement during the warranty period so you could get a refurbished unit as a replacement. So, WD's expectation is less than 2% of these HDDs will require warranty replacement.
To put it another way, just under 1 in every 50 drives will require warranty replacement - and this is a top quality Enterprise drive.
This is why you always need good backups ! Mechanical drives fail. A lot.

Is anyone out there working on Frequency selective surfaces?
It seems I have a problem with TE polarization when reaching cut-off frequency
RE: Frequency selective surfaces
Higgler (Electrical) 18 Jun 05 00:26
I have in the past worked on them. So, what's the real problem?
An FSS is part of a radome near an antenna that rejects certain frequencies (it can be put in the antenna too, but carefully), it's really just a filter implemented in the antenna, usually it's rolloff's are weak compared to normal circuit based filters. You use them to cut out interference on a budget, or for high power transmissions where discrete devices would blow up easily.
kchiggins.
Thank you, Higgler,
You're right, those are some of the applications for the FSS's. What I am doing is a code to analyse them and when the element is a square or a symmetrical cross, and the unit cell is square, I should get the same reflection coefficient for both TE and TM polarization, but I don’t, and it seems that my problem is in the TE polarization and it worsen when I am approaching to its cut-off frequency.
On boresight it should be the same, off angle it's very different, even though you're using square pieces. Maybe you have simple approximations that lose their luster at cutoff.
as an example off boresight, the impedance of a thick slab of dielectric is n/cos(theta) versus n*cos(theta)for the two different cases, and the thick slab is homogeneous.
Maybe you are doing it correctly.
There are reference materials on them.
Thank you for your reply Higgler.
I'm just working on boresight by the moment.
Maybe, there's something with the condition number of the matrix. I've seen that the variations in this number along the frequency have influence in the final TE reflection result. I'll keep working on it.
Have you found the edge on performance of any square tic to be direction insensitive?

A lot of software for arrangement tools and drawing tools had been developed nowadays. Drawing tools have made drawing much easier. Everybody candraw what ever they want to drawby using the drawing tools. Although there are many drawing tools in the market nowadays but none of them have integrated the L-System into it. L-System is a model consists of an initial string called the axiom and a set of production rules which are iteratively applied to that string. The string is examined for single characters which have associated production rules. When a rule is found; the string which corresponds to that character (as defined by the production rule) is substituted into the string. This project is basically a drawing tool that integrates the element of L-System into it. In this project, it still focused on the L-System but the difference is it applies in a way where user just can play around with the models. Byusing the tools provided, user can see the usefulness of L-System. The objectives of this project are to create user interface that integrate 2D LSystem with the functions of arrangement tools, to understand on L-System, to understand on Open GL User Interface (GLUI) and to show the usefulness of 2D LSystem. The project is developed using the Open GL and C++ language and the engine for the L-System tree is using the LParser.

I am coming to you ino.
For the Lord did not intend to continue revealing his glory and majesty through signs and wonders. Rather, He would reveal his glory through the revelation of His Word, that is, the Ten Commandments and the Law. As Moses would later say,
You see, some Evangelical Christians believe that the glory and revelation of God can be sought alone in signs and wonders—speaking in tongues, miracles, praise and worship music, bible studies, prayer meetings, etc. And indeed, in certain seasons and occasions in our lives, God manifests His tender love, mercy, and presence to us in these ways. But just as the spectacle of Mount Sinai would come to an end and the Israelites would be left only with Moses in all of his humanity, so too, the powerful manifestations of the Spirit fade and the Christian will find himself, no longer at the foot of the mountain of subjective emotion, but at the feet of the Apostles (and their successors) in all their humanity. Here, one must fold the wings of his emotions, you could say, and open the intellect to the truths they proposeHis way of love, guided by truth, is alone the means to life.
If I speak in human and angelic tongues… a 13:1-2)
My Evangelical brother and sisters, do you speak in tongues? So do I. Do you raise your hands in praise and worship? So do I. Do you lay them upon the sick and pray for their healing? So do I. Do you love the Bible and the Word of God? So do I. But I tell you, with all my heart and all my love, there is nothing in the Bible that speaks one word about interpreting God’s Word apart from the Church, apart from Apostolic authority. This was clearly and absolutely understood by the early Church. Why? Because there was not even a “bible” for the first four hundred years of her existence. Rather, as we hear in the Gospel today, Jesus entrusted the truth, not to the throngs, but to twelve men and to their successors through apostolic succession. [2]cf. Acts 1:20; 14:13; 1 Tim 3:1, 8; 4:14, 5:17; Tit 1:5
(Today’s Gospel)
Those are strong words that, today, in light of the schisms that have occurred, require some context for those who, through no fault of their own, don’t subscribe completely to CatholicCC, n.838
Of course, as Catholics, we must admit that, in many places, our parishes are not attractive for a number of reasons. Just as Moses, despite his charge, was a sinful man, so too, the leaders of the Church have been and are imperfect and sinful men. In fact, today the credibility of the Church and her leadership has never been so wounded and endangered by her sins. I pity Evangelical Christians in some ways because in entering into Catholicism and “the fullness of truth”, they must often leave behind lively Christian communities, anointed preaching, and powerful music. And yet, we continue to see a stream of Protestants entering the Catholic Church? Why? Because as important as good music, good preaching, and community are, it is the truth that sets us free.. —Origen (185-232 A.D.), Fundamental Doctrines, 1, Pref. 2
That fullness of truth can be found, despite her weaknesses, sinfulness and scandals, in the Catholic Church (and Truth is really and truly present in the Eucharist). Oh yes! The present and coming Storm will purify the Catholic Church too—more than anyone else. And when the night of tribulation is over and that happy hour comes when the Bride of Christ is purified and her satanic divisions crushed beneath the heel of a Woman, she will once again be evangelical, pentecostal, catholic, sacramental, apostolic and holy as Christ intended. She will at last collect the shattered beams of light that division has scattered, and become a single beacon of truth3]cf. Matt 24:14

I have a long-standing interest in the history of medicine. My research focuses on the diet-health nexus, particularly as it pertains to chronic disease in the United States between the nineteenth and twenty-first centuries.
Most recently, I have co-edited with Australian historian Alison Bashford a special issue of the Bulletin of the History of Medicine (Winter 2012) devoted to the evolving relationship between climate and human health. My essay on Ancel Keys and the International High Altitude Expedition of 1935 features in this issue.
History of Alcoholism and Drug Use
My first book, Alcoholism in America from Reconstruction to Prohibition (Johns Hopkins University Press, 2005), was a biography of a disease. It explored the history of physicians’ and reformers’ efforts to medicalize the social problem of habitual drunkenness.
This work was innovative in its analysis of both the intellectual evolution of drunkenness as a disease, and its use of patient records, court documents, and popular media to argue that the medicalization of drunkenness was not a top-down process led by physicians (as sociologists have suggested). Instead, I suggested that medicalization was a negotiated process in which pastors, politicians, and inebriates and their families frequently advanced a medical agenda for distinctly non-medical purposes.
This work was among the first to consider the malleable nature of our classification systems for drugs as “medicinal,” “recreational,” “licit,” and “illicit.” The essays in the volume also highlighted the utility of analyzing individual drug histories from each of these categories in a comparative fashion.
Alcoholism in America from Reconstruction to Prohibition is a biography of a disease, published in 2005 (paperback in 2007) by Johns Hopkins University Press. This project, like my study of Ancel Keys, grew out of my long-standing interest in the intersecting histories of diet and chronic disease. Find on Amazon →

The Life and Science of Ancel Keys
I am currently completing a biography of the physiologist and epidemiologist Ancel Keys (1904-2004). I like to say that he is the most important biomedical scientist that you have never heard of. I think this is true, though journalists such as Gary Taubes and historians such as Todd Tucker are beginning to change this.
Keys’ long life—nearly 101 years—was filled with scientific adventures in physiology, nutrition, and public health. He traveled all over the globe to pursue his research interests, doing science in the Chilean Andes, Italy, Greece, Scandinavia, the Soviet Union, Japan, and South Africa.
Whether measuring our ability to adapt to great heights or the health effects of starvation, Keys was on a quest to improve the ability of individuals to adapt to their surroundings and live long and healthy lives. Here’s a brief description of the project that I wrote for a recent fellowship proposal:
Ancel Keys returns to the Summit of Cerro Aucanquilcha
“Few people have exerted more influence on American eating habits than Keys, who helped usher in the era of highly processed, debatably palatable, and preservative-rich food through his development of the K Ration for the U.S. Army. In the 1950s, 60s, and 70s, Keys wrote internationally bestselling cookbooks that introduced the U.S. and the world to the Mediterranean diet and heart healthy eating habits. These books were based on both his laboratory studies of dietary fat, blood cholesterol, and heart disease, and his epidemiological explorations of dietary pattern and heart health in seven countries (the U.S., Italy, Greece, the Netherlands, Finland, Yugoslavia, and Japan). Nicknamed “Mr. Cholesterol” by the popular press, Keys appeared on the cover of Time magazine in 1961 as the man most likely to find an explanation for America’s #1 source of mortality (then and now), heart disease. The public, however, knows little about this important American scientist, health advocate, and author.
Recently scholars, journalists, and food activists have begun to discuss the ways in which Keys helped shape America’s eating habits. They typically portray him, however, in narrow, near conspiratorial terms, as a rogue scientist determined to “cherry-pick” data and bully other scientists to advance his own pet theory about the connections between dietary fat, blood cholesterol, and heart disease. A range of contemporary authors have painted Keys as the person most responsible for America’s obesity epidemic, a public health crisis that they believe was occasioned by his stalwart advocacy of a plant-centered diet, low in meat and dairy sources of fat. The food industry responded to Keys’ low-fat message by creating sweet, refined carbohydrate foods that have expanded our waistlines.
Yet if individuals have pointed to Keys’ important influence on the American diet, they fail to address the breadth and depth of Keys’ other contributions to oceanography, high-altitude physiology, U.S. science policy, the rebuilding of Europe’s nutritional status after WW II, Cold War diplomacy, and the popularization of nutrition and heart health across the second half of the 20th century. When his life is examined in full, a different picture emerges. Keys was no data manipulator; he was an internationally respected scientist—a polymath who built bridges between scientific disciplines, between science and society, and between Eastern bloc and Western nations through his physiological and epidemiological research. Keys’ life story is an exciting one and important to our understanding the course of science and diet across “the American century.”

The future of story telling
Asn Germany this weekend
Strand 1: EFL extensive reading - reading for pleasure; teacher training with non-canonical literature.
Strand 2: Pre-teens and teens: young adult novels, graded readers, non-fiction, poems and graphic novels.
Strand 3: Young learners: Picture books, poems and nursery rhymes; language acquisition with literary texts.
Asen’sd! I can’t help finding this truly heartening and also moving. In our discussion over the last few weeks, I’ve seen and delighted in the varied contributions which have shown how storytelling has universal appeal and relevance which transcends any narrow definition of culture, nationality or race. This has affirmed my deeply-held belief that when used frequently and lovingly, whether for L1 or L2 education or just for sheer pleasure and joy, storytelling can help us all - in our own small ways - work towards creating a happier, more tolerant, peaceful and harmonious world.
And what will the future bring? ‘But it doesn’t click!’.

Easy to paint, but light colors needed to be double coated. He really loved the painting.
This is now my 5th MPBN kit , thoroughly enjoyed this painting, it reminds me of all the light houses we have along the south coast of England, as always the quality of the materials is excellent, I did give the sky a second coat of paint this gives a deeper depth of colour, just waiting now to get a suitable frame , so now onto my sixth painting, if we run out of wall space we have the ceilings, a bit like the Sistine chapel in the Vatican City, we’ll just have to lay on the floor to admire them.


On what day of the cycle it is necessary to conduct ultrasound of dairyglands - this issue needs careful consideration. Correctly chosen term will help to clarify the questions "What is this seal in the chest", "Why the nipple became asymmetrical", "Why axillary lymph nodes are felt", and many other things related to the health of this body.
then ultrasound of the mammary glands is better done at the very beginning of the cycle - from 4 to 14 days from the first day of menstruation.
a woman does not need to wonder when it is right to do ultrasound, but you need to go for a checkup as soon as the above complaints have appeared.
by the level of estrogen in the blood (you need to take it on the third day of the cycle), by which you can judge the speed of onset of ovulation (it is up to ovulation and you need to undergo ultrasound).
It is these days changes in breast tissueare minimal. It is gradually restored after the last months: the milk producing glands develop, their ducts are restored, the alveoli are still closed, and the stroma of the gland is dense.
During pregnancy and lactation it does not matter what day to do the research: the ducts and acini of the gland are rapidly developing, the fatty lobules regress.
The cost of the research is from 1000 to 2500 rubles.
Thus, it is very important to be able to count, onwhat day of the cycle you need to undergo ultrasound of the mammary glands, so that the resulting data is as accurate entire "working area" of the breast is subject to the influence of female sex hormones, the level of which varies depending on the period of the menstrual cycle.

You know you want this. You know do. You know how I know?Because y I really shouldn’t have to explain to you why a 3D printable Barbie-ridden tardigrade is a must-have item. Not only is this awesome tardigrade fully 3D printable, but it’s huge, about the size of a regular house cat, and it can be posed in a bunch of positions. Even better, it comes with 3D printable cave woman clothing that will fit a Barbie, because naturally if you’re going to have a large posable tardigrade, it’s going to need a rider who is appropriately dressed. And maybe you don’t have any Barbies, so what, that’s cool, IT’S STILL A FULLY ARTICULATED TARDIGRADE!
So what exactly is a tardigrade?Well, it’s only the toughest, hardiest and most indestructible animal on the planet, that’s what. They are microscopic, water-dwelling animals that can be found on every corner of the planet, and they are so durable that they will survive in conditions extreme enough to kill nearly everything else. Tardigrades, also called water bears, can survive temperatures as cold as -458°F (-272°C) and as hot as 300°F (150°C), pressures six times greater than found in deep ocean trenches, and they can even survive in the vacuum of space. Oh, and they can go without food for as long as thirty years. Basically, these things are almost unkillable, so I really can’t think of any creature that I’d rather Cave Woman Barbie ride into battle on, can you?
So make sure that you support Rodda this time around by download your very own Brenda. Yes, you will have to paint Brenda to make sure that she looks like the badass tardigrade warrior that she is, but that’s a small price to pay for getting your very own poseable tardigrade. And at $1, it’s literally a small price to pay. Plus as a bonus, the 3D modelsn convert, customize or alter the model as much as you want as long as you give Rodda proper attribution. You can buy your own copy of Brenda, and learn more about all of his projects over on Rodda’s website. Does your Barbie need some of these accessories?

If you have a computer that runs very slow, takes forever to start up and shut down, and even crashes, then I bet you are absolutely desperate to get it fixed. There really are not all that many things that are more frustrating than a slow computer. Think about how much time you waste when you have a computer that is taking forever to load.
Do you know what is causing your computer to run so slow? You may think that you need a memory upgrade, but that's not going to solve the problem. If you have a Windows based computer, it WILL eventually get slow. There is no way around it. Why? The answer lies in the registry.
The registry is a device that Windows uses to carry out all applications. Unfortunately, bad entries get left behind in that registry, and this problem spills over to all the other applications on your computer. Fortunately, the registry is not all that hard to fix, but you do need to choose the right option for registry repair.
The wrong method of registry repair is to try and do it yourself, unless you are a computer expert. And even many of them opt to get a professional fix, since there are so many things that can go wrong if you try to do it yourself. If you accidentally delete the wrong file, your hard drive could suffer a fatal error. Your best option is to use a registry cleaner, which will safely remove bad registry files and repair the registry. It will also work to keep the problem from coming back.

I had been hoping to do the ‘real’ grocery shopping after the Asian Grocery Store and get pork for the cha siu baos, but Chris had been pushed beyond his shopping capacity, so we went home instead. No problem. I figured that I could try out the Lentil Taboulli and Salmon recipe that I had found in Runner’s World instead. Wrong. We were out of lentils. On the shelf where the lentils should have been, I found a bag of arborio rice. Risotto it is!But not just any risotto, silken tofu risotto. If the silken tofu could approximate the taste and texture of an alfredo sauce, why not make risotto out of it?

Once more a BIG THANK YOU!
FFL--It's the filling station for diabetes stuff, so we can make it through another year!
I guess it's sort of hard to sum up FFL into a few sentences…but here goes. We loved being there with other people who "get" it, and having McKenna around other kids having to deal with all the same stuff she does. The sessions we took were very informative, and in some cases, very funny!Going into this trip, McKenna (my dd, who turned 13 our second day there), had NO interest in having anything to do with the diabetes conference part. She was only interested in going to Disney. No matter how much I told her that it wasn't going to be like "diabetes school" for her, that she would just happen to be in Disney with other kids who had diabetes, she just wouldn't listen. (Did I mention that she turned 13?) As for my older daughter, who is 15, and relatively reserved (some would say shy), I wasn't sure how she would do -- If she would feel bored, if she would be included, or if she would feel it was like our usual topic of conversation at home (diabetes, diabetes, and more diabetes) magnified by 100. But on day 4 of our trip, both girls asked if we were coming back next year. When I asked if they wanted to, I got a loud, resounding "YES!
FFL was encouraging to Sam in a way he never could have predicted - every story someone told that including drinking and peeing, he looked at me with a big smile - like, hey, I know what they are going to say next!
It was an overwhelming feeling to see my son bond with other kids that "get it." Though the week was hectic and crazy at times, I would not miss it for the world!
The conference, as usual, was a huge success. Wr and the next year and so on!
The best week of the whole year!The feeling that everyone else ther!
First and foremost, thanks to CWD for bringing together so many families to continue to share something that those on the "outside" typically do not "fully" understand. In the beginning, attending the conferences was really for me. Today it's for Brooke and Brett. It's taken many years for both of them to find their own ground at FFL, but I think they are there. Brett continually said to me things like, "I wish it were longer" and on the way home he said "was the conference shorter this year"?
Our experiences at FFL are indescribable. It's amazing. Every year we say this was the best year ever and then the next year is even better!
We feel so relieved when we am amongst people who understand our day to day worries and concerns regarding our teenage diabetic son.n fact when I listened to Tom speak on the welcome reception, I could not stop the tears. Our son has had diabetes for 10 years and it does not get easier, until we are at the FFL conference...we will not miss another one until Trent is ready to fly the coup!
This was our first conference and we loved it. It was so great to Violet, 6, to be with other kids like her. It was also great for our teenagers to get a dose of reality...what Violet's life is really like. It was also very eye opening for my mom, who thought she knew what she needed to know since my dad died of diabetes complications in 1989. Needless to say, she knew a different disease; what we deal with now is a lot different!
FFL in a nutshell: an empowering experience with knowledge and kinship combined!
FFLdiabetes and what's on the horizon; and meeting and making new friends along the way is a BONUS!Last year we walked awayand this year even more so!

The store was plagued with renters who ignored the request to rewind tapes after playing them. When the next renter put the tape in a VCR, they’d face the nuisance of rewinding it.
My classmates and I struggled with the business case. We suggested posting notices (Please be kind. Rewind.) and threatening fines or even loss of membership for those who wouldn’t comply.
Some even thought of altering the video case so that it couldn’t hold a tape that wasn’t rewound. Nothing seemed feasible.

The cap concerns the number of guests that may physically attend a meal or dinner associated with the events.
The measure will remain in effect until January 15, 2021, the Health Ministry noted, “as it was found through other countries’ experience that such social events come with increased risk of transmission of Covid-19.”

A distance of 3 m2 indoors and 2 m2 outdoors between each person needs to be maintained regardless of the floor area of the venue.

Over the last few days a creationist has been commenting on the Sandwalk blog linked to from my blogroll bar. Mostly he (?) has been rude and childish, but he also made a wearily familiar argument:
John Harsh-manureWhat should be the reward for misplacing one's logic or brain?I
will give you an example, that Larry can understand. So, I would like to build a doghouse. I already have all the materials and tools to speed-up the self-shiting process. I have the power and all the materials. How long would it take for evolution=accidents to build this pretty simple structure? My Italian neighbor says it would take him 45 minutes. How about the mathematically calculated shit-ific calcu-shitions?Would 4.2 billion yours suffice or you need a new
brain to evolve to think straight? Well, no shit-ist can think like that so you may need some help...hihihi
To the degree that this is coherent (and admittedly that degree is not high), this is basically the argument from design, well known from William Paley's watchmaker analogy:
asked how the stone came to be there; I might possibly answer, that, for anything I knew to the contrary, it had lain there forever: nor would it perhaps be very easy to show the absurdity of this answer. But suppose I had found a watch upon the ground, and it should be inquired how the watch happened to be in that place; I should hardly think of the
answer I had before given, that for anything I knew, the watch might have always been there. (...) There must have existed, at some time, and
at some place or other, an artificer or artificers, who formed [the watch] for the purpose which we find it actually to answer; who comprehended its construction, and designed its use. (...) Every indication of contrivance, every manifestation of design, which existed in the watch, exists in the works of nature; with the difference, on the
side of nature, of being greater or more, and that in a degree which exceeds all computation.
(Update: I should mention that I copied this quotation from Wikipedia, ellipses and all, because I do not have the book.) Really the only differences are that the watch is exchanged for a doghouse and that Paley was a better writer. And in fact all creationism or "intelligent design" ultimately reduces to this argument.
The problem is, of course, that the argument is a false analogy, a fact that would have been painfully clear even when Paley advanced it (and others even before him). But while it is immediately clear to most observers that that is so, it is often less easy to articulate the precise problem, which is why I write this. There are at least two very important differences between the analogy and the structures the creationist considers it analogous to, i.e. living organisms:
In the case of a watch or doghouse, we know the creator, or if not the specific individual then at least we know that such creators exist as a class of beings. We know from experience that there are other humans and that they sometimes develop the desire to construct a watch or, for that matter, a doghouse, and that they have the capabilities to act on this desire. In the case of life, we do not know that such a creator exists. In fact the argument from design is meant to demonstrate the existence of the creator, making it a case of begging the question or circular reasoning.
In the case of the watch or doghouse, we know the process by which they were created by their creators. Again, this is not so for life. Depending on the superstition one is thinking of, the best suggestions for a creator's mechanism of action are somewhere between "the ways of the LORD are mysterious" and "the gods shaped some clay and breathed life into it". That is why engineering is a science and creationism is not*.
Finally, yes, if piles of wood and nails would reproduce with slightly modified offspring, and if that offspring had a higher likelihood of surviving to produce more offspring if it looked more like a doghouse, then a couple of million years would certainly result in the evolution of doghouses. Again, a failed analogy, but only because piles of wood and nails do not actually reproduce and because this specific selective pressure does not appear to exist.
*) Admittedly I am more generous in this regard than others. I can imagine intelligent design with an unspecified, mysterious creator to be a reasonable scientific conclusion under certain circumstances. Imagine we found an extraterrestrial planet with complex life where there was no fossil record until 500,000 years ago, no phylogenetic or biogeographic structure to the organisms, and population genetics indicate that all organisms apparently started to evolve** around 500,000 years ago with remarkable genetic uniformity but no deleterious alleles. Under those circumstances, terraforming and subsequent bioengineering of life forms by an unknown extraterrestrial intelligence would constitute a valid preliminary scientific conclusion. Clearly that extraterrestrial intelligence would still have been the product of evolution itself, skyhooks vs. cranes and all that, but that is not the point here.
**) Of course, once you have things that mutate and reproduce evolution is not a question of evidence any more but one of logical necessity, but that is not what creationists are really concerned about.

Great General Mighty Wing é uma história em quadrinhos infanto-juvenil publicada pela State-run Press em 1994, na Coreia do Norte. O roteiro é de Cho Pyŏng-kwŏn, com ilustrações de Rim Wal-yong. O personagem é tão famoso no país quanto o Mickey Mouse nos Estados Unidos.
Normalmente, quadrinhos norte-coreanos, que variava de tonalidade de edição para edição. Então, Great General Mighty Wing se destaca por ser um quadrinho completamente em cores.
O quadrinho foi publicado no mesmo ano da morte de Kim Il Sung para propagar a ideologia Juche. Mas é possível que ele estivesse sendo desenvolvido desde 1993. Ele lida com temas como a ocupação japonesa da Coreia e a grande fome da Coreia do Norte.
Também, o exército das vespas se alia ao exército das aranhas para destruir a colmeia. As vespas são retratadas com esteriótipos norte-coreanos sobre os Estados Unidos e o Japão, que ocupou a Coreia em 1910. Já a teia das aranhas se parece com o logotipo da Organização das Nações Unidas. As aranhas lutam predendo seus inimigos com sua teia, enquanto as vespas usam arco e felcha. É possível que seja uma referência inversa sobre os mísseis Nodong/Scud, testados em maio de 1993. Isso porque arma em coreano significa mugi e arco e flecha significa hwal. Já armas nucleares significam haengmugi. Os Estados Unidos é visto como uma ameaça nuclear pela Coreia.
Na lateral das páginas do quadrinho também estão escritos textos como "nunca pense no inimigo como sendo um cordeiro... sempre o considere como sendo um chacal", ou "você precisa suportar dificuldades e sofrimento para conquistar a felicidade".
Heinz Insu Fenkl também traz que a colmeia se parece com a cidade de Poughkeepsie, na Coreia do Sul. Também traz que na mitologia egípcia, abelhas nasceram das lágrimas do Deus Sol Rá. Já no simbolismo norte-coreano, o grande líder é conhecido como o Deus Sol.

There’ll be a couple of new faces on the boards of local services districts, and any North Coast voters who didn’t think their ballots were important have only to look at the slim margins of victory to know that’s not the case.
Now, two new directors will join the remaining incumbents under the watchful eyes of constituents who supported or opposed their election.
The margin was even smaller in tiny San Simeon, where eight votes made the difference in the community services district race. Challenger Mary Margaret McGuire unseated incumbent Leroy Price.
According to the counts completed Wednesday, Nov. 23 — more than two weeks after the election — incumbents Amanda Rice and Greg Sanders have kept their posts. Rice garnered the most votes in the race (1,653, or 18.78 percent) and Sanders came in second (1,554, 17.66 percent).
Other candidates were Dewayne Lee (1,184, 13.45 percent), Tom Kirkey (1,052, 11.95 percent), Jeff Walters (373, 4.24 percent) and write-ins, (144 or 1.64 percent). Steve Kniffen ran as a write in.
There are 4,184 registered voters in the district, according to, and 3,676 of them cast ballots, 2,627 of them using vote-by-mail ballots.
SSCSD
There are 163 registered voters in the San Simeon district, according to; 129 of them cast ballots.
I’m not your usual candidate, but there are changes going on.
Harry Farmer, incoming CCSD board member
It remains to be seen whether the election will produce a frequent 3-2 vote pattern now, or whether Rice’s fellow directors will elect her as the CSD’s vice president or president, posts that have eluded her during her four years on the board. That election of officers is to happen at the board’s Dec. 15 meeting.
He acknowledged that “” all across the political spectrum. “The Bernie Sanders energy is out there. People want change in who is in the positions of responsibility.”
Farmer said he knows the district faces a raft of serious issues.
“There are certainly some financial challenges on the horizon that perhaps most Cambrians are not aware of,” and that’s one primary reason why he ran for the office, “to point out the challenges and let people know what’s on the horizon.”
Rice said Nov. 29 that she’s looking forward to working with Farmer on the board.
“I think it will be a good change. Harry works really hard, and he has a good sense of humor,” and she thinks that the tone of the board meetings will change.
Robinette lost by a skinny margin of less than 1 percent, but she said Tuesday, Nov. 29, that she feels the majority of voters are telling the directors to “stay the course” on the Sustainable Water Facility and other key community needs, such as the Fiscalini water storage tank, ongoing wastewater treatment plan upgrades, completing the first phase of the community park, obtaining a Local Hazard Mitigation Plan and continuing to pursue grants.
“We have the momentum,” she said in an email and phone interview. “Clearly the voters have given a strong mandate to stay the course.”
Based on social media postings and other comments, Farmer’s supporters were understandably elated by his win, with exclamation marks and congratulatory messages that included the words “awesome,” “yea” and “way to go!”
However, reactions from other political camps ranged from cautiously optimistic to puzzled to concerned. Many seemed willing to take a “wait and see” attitude, saying that all they had to judge Farmer by were statements he made during the campaign, and that they hoped he’d modify some of his stances after navigating the steep learning curve every new director must take, which will include, as one poster noted “a forum in the form of a closed session with counsel.”
Greg Sanders, too, said he’s looking forward to working with Farmer.
Voter Brian Griffin said in an email interview the same day that “I hope the board will continue moving forward to provide for our water supply and fire safety.” He said, “After the presidential election many people were dissatisfied and some took to the street to cause violence and destruction. Fortunately we are more civilized here in Cambria. Two of the people I voted for were elected, and one was defeated. Getting two-thirds of the pie is not bad. I don't know much about the newest board member, but I will be watching him closely and, if I like what he is doing, I will let him know. If I don’t, I will also let him know. That actually goes for all board members.”
Robinette concluded by saying “we will stay together and continue to expect the best from the board to ensure we have a secure water supply and a plan for upgrades to keep our community in a proactive position, never a reactive position.”


ZWR enthusiast Amy sent along a fascinating link last night concerning our hero Roy Halladay. The story's about a little fishing trip that HLHIII went on earlier this month with buddies Chris Carpenter (who I assume threw his line so well that neither the fish nor water were able to make any sort of solid contact with his gear), laughably rich lefty B.J. Ryan, and professional angler Skeet Reese.
And then this happened:.
I'd just like to pause for a moment and reflect on this totally true, not-made-up-by-ZWR story.
Roy Halladay, Phillies ace, tireless humanitarian, workout warrior and bolg muse is BATTLING GIANT DEADLY ANACONDAS IN THE AMAZON DURING THE OFFSEASON. I can now never quit this bolg. You know that, right? Also, local natives are now left to ponder the circumstance that led to a puzzling face-less anaconda in their waters.
And yes, B.J. Ryan totally would have blown the save.
Is there anything this Adonis DOESN'T do?!
Man bites snake!
SICK BURN WE'RE ROASTED
I'm an outdoor writer who works frequently with the host Skeet Reese. I got to do a story about their trip to the Amazon for my website.
I bet Roy made a belt and shoes out of it
There will be some discussion upon his return as to what he can and can not do while on vacation. Anaconda wrassling will no longer be deemed acceptable behavior.
Yea andacondas can get really big but thank god i dont have a monster snake cus i have an andaconda its really cool

Philip Glenister: “Lots of running, jumping off buildings, smashing things up and being chased by dogs... I’d seen the first series starring John [Simm, Philip’s Life on Mars co-star] and thought it would be fun to do such a high-octane thriller. But I’ve got cuts, bruises, and I’m getting to an age now when it really takes its toll.”
Philip: “Make sure you use you your stunt double; put him to good use! But I had no choice when it came to driving stunts, considering I’m shackled to my co-star for most of the show. MyAnna is handcuffed to my right hand, so she has to do most of the driving. And she’s a lunatic! I thought I was bad! We had to make sure our lovely props guy didn’t lose the key to those cuffs, too."


Getting Ready for CertificationGetting Ready for Continence Certification Bowel ManagementThompson, Donna L.Author Information Donna L. Thompson, MSN, CRNP, FNP-BC, CCCN-AP, Division of UrogCorrespondence:(dltcontsolutions@019 - Volume 46 - Issue 6 - p 550-552 doi: 10.1097/WON.0000000000000584 Free Metrics Fecal incontinence is a life-altering condition that affects up to 15% of community-dwelling adults.1 Rates in the nursing home population range from 40% to 55%, and prevalence increases with age.2 Nconservative management strategies as initial treatment of fecal incontinence.3,4 Conservative treatments include body-worn absorptive products,5 skin care, dietary modification, fiber supplementation, pelvic floor rehabilitation, antidiarrheal medication for loose stools, and rectal devices such as anal plugs or vaginal bowel control devices.3,4,6 Conservative management strategies are what the CWOCN Society considers its primary practice focus7 and are the focus of the WOCNCB Continence Certification Examination. Fortunately, up to 25% of patients with fecal incontinence can become continent after implementing conservative management strategies.6 Adequate preparation and careful analysis of certification-type questions help increase success with taking the certification exam. When preparing for continence certification, it is important to review the examination outline and prepare a structured review based on the 6 content categories listed in the Box. A helpful test-taking strategy is to carefully analyze the examination question stem to identify information critical to the correct answer. For example, a question may request the test taker to choose where best to refer a patient for further evaluation. This type of question tends to be difficult and requires analysis of multiple facts included in the stem. Identify those facts and link them together. Then read each answer option and choose the option that best matches the linked facts in the stem. The advanced practice sample question included in this article is an example of such a question. The WOCNCB Web site () has a number of testing preparation resources available, and additional practice questions from previous “Getting Ready for Certification” columns are archived on the journal Web site.

What is an important component of a bowel habit training program for a patient with constipation? Encourage vigorous pushing throughout toilet time. Exercise the anal sphincter using strong squeezes. Schedule toilet time 30 minutes after the morning meal. Use a raised toilet seat so that hips are higher than knees. Content outline: Task 7e 030705 Cognitive level: Application ANSWER C: Rationale: An important component of bowel habit training is to utilize normal colonic activity. Colonic contractions, the gastrocolic response, are strongest after meals and tend to be more frequent and stronger in the morning. Teaching a patient to attempt defecation in the morning after the morning meal will optimize the chances of a successful bowel movement. Contracting the anal sphincter during an attempt to defecate will suppress peristaltic activity and increase compliance of the rectum with subsequent decrease in sensation of fecal urgency. Vigorous pushing during attempts to defecate are not to be encouraged due to long-term effects on the pelvic floor and anal sphincter. Elevating the hips resulting in dangling feet does not optimize normal anatomy during defecation. The anorectal angle will increase from 90° to 135° when in the squatting or forward sitting position with feet on the floor or on a small stool. 1. Callan LL, Willson M.

Norton C, Emmanuel A, Stevens N, et al H39. 2. What product would be the best choice to manage a critically-ill patient's frequent incontinence of liquid stool due to enteral feedings? Anal plug Containment brief External fecal pouch Small fecal pad Content outline: Task 7d 030704Healthy skin pH is mildly acidic, ranging from 4.5 to 6.0. Increased pH due to a higher amount of digestive enzymes found in liquid stools along with frequent fecal incontinence can elevate any patient's risk for moisture-associated skin damage. Containment of liquid stool would be best achieved with an external fecal pouch. A containment brief would most likely contain the stool but would carry the risk of skin damage and require diligent application of skin protection products. An anal plug, of which there are 2 differ is most effective for fecal incontinence in independent patients who can remove the plug in the presence of fecal urge. The plugs can become dislodged especially with increased peristalsis and will leak in the presence of liquid stools. A small fecal pad is primarily used for very small-volume fecal soiling and will not contain diarrheal stool. These small pads are strategically placed in between the buttocks to absorb small amounts of stool. 1. Anderson PH, Bucher AB, Saeed I, Lee PC, Davis JA, Maibach HI.

What dietary recommendation will help a patient with fecal incontinence due to chronic loose stools? Drink at least 1 cup of coffee or tea in the morning. Encourage hydration with carbonated diet beverages. Fiber supplementation with psyllium. Increase fiber intake with beans found in chili. Content outline: Task 7c 030703The first step in conservative treatment of fecal incontinence is to normalize stool consistency. The consistency of stool described in this question stem is unformed and thus can increase fecal incontinence episodes. Bulk forming fiber such as psyllium is not completely broken down by colonic bacteria and thus increases the size of stool and absorbs water content in the stool forming a gel. Bliss and colleagues1 found that dietary supplementation with psyllium was more effective in reducing fecal incontinence episodes than other types of fiber. The beans in chili are a good source of fiber, but unfortunately the spiciness of chili can increase gastrointestinal motility, increasing risk for diarrheal-type stools. Hydration is always good when stools are liquid, but carbonation can also increase gastrointestinal motility. Caffeine stimulates bowel motility and would increase motility and frequency of unformed stools, thus is not an appropriate option. 1. Bliss DZ, Savik K, Jung HG, Whitebird R, Lowry A.–378.. ADVANCED PRACTICE QUESTION 4. A 55-year-old woman reports a chronic problem with infrequent bowel movements that are large, hard, and difficult to pass. She complains that fiber, hydration, and laxatives have not been consistently effective, and she will occasionally notice smeared stool on her underwear. Screening colonoscopies have been normal. The physical examination is normal, and she denies rectal bleeding, weight loss, or symptoms of anemia. What would be the next level of evaluation the advanced practice continence nurse should initiate? A colorectal surgeon for obstruction and surgery. A dietitian for lactose intolerance and diet counseling. A gastroenterologist for slow-transit constipation and colon transit study. An urogynecologist for dyssnergia and anorectal manometry. Content outline: Task 7a 030701 Cognitive level: Analysis ANSWER C: Rationale: The patient in this case exhibits symptoms consistent with idiopathic constipation. She has infrequent stools that are large, hard, and difficult to pass, with no history of secondary causes such as neurologic disease, diabetes, or obstructing lesions. She has tried conservative management that has not been consistently successful. The next decision isBased upon the available history and physical examination information, the best choice would be a referral to a gastroenterologist for a colonic transit study to determine if the patient has delayed transit. A colonic transit study would determine if she had colonic hypomotility versus normal colonic transit. Normal transit constipation would be more responsive to hydration, fiber supplementation, and lifestyle modifications. A referral to a pelvic floor specialist such as an urogynecologist would be appropriate if functional obstruction of defecation is suspected. The question stem does not indicate symptoms specific to dyssynergic defecation, which is caused by inappropriate during defecation, causing straining and sensation of incomplete emptying. Referral to a dietitian is not an appropriate choice due to this patient not showing symptoms consistent with lactose intolerance, which is characterized by diarrheal stools and not constipation. A dietitian is an excellent resource for dietary counseling once the diagnosis is established. Colonoscopies have been normal, and a review of the question stem reveals that this patient does not have obvious “red flag” symptoms of a rectal lesion or tumor. A referral to a colorectal surgeon would not be an appropriate choice.REFERENCES 1. ;84(5):397–407. PubMed | CrossRef 2. Steele SE, Han CJ, Heitkemper M.
