three up, three down.
With two away, Xavier Paul collected the first Bucco hit when he rolled a ball up the middle. The euphoria didn't last long; two pitches later, he was caught stealing.
Correia kept dealing; the Padres went down 1-2-3. Unfortunately, so did Pittsburgh. With two away in the sixth, Guzman worked KC for a nine pitch at bat, finally dropping a soft single into center and Hudson followed with a five pitch walk. Blanks, hitting .182, walked on a 3-2 fastball to load the bases.
That brought in D-Mac. Correia went 5 and three K's. McCutchen intentionally walked Luis Martinez to load the bases and get to Latos. D-Mac wild-pitched a run home - Dewey had already saved him once with a block - before getting the out. Two sliders in the dirt against the pitcher...that's a lot of respect. And it made the score 4-0 San Diego as they continue to maximize their scoring - five hits, four runs.
Brad Lincoln came on; Venable drilled a single up the middle to welcome him back to the show. he stole second and went to third when Dewey's toss went into center. Bartlett poked a curve softly into right, in front of Jones to bring Venable home. Bad Brad quickly recovered to get the next three outs, two by strikeout, throwing 93-94 MPH. The Bucs went down in order again.
Blanks opened the eighth with a double to right center. The next hitter, Forsythe, was HPB. After a strikeout and sac bunt, Venable drilled a first pitch heater for a two run double to make it 7-0.
Well, we got a look at Bad Brad. He's challenging guys now instead of nibbling, but living too much in the center of the plate. His command and maybe plan of attack have a bit of fine tuning to go. Pedro is still hitting with two strikes all the time, but at least today he got a knock and hung tough against a lefty, so he's slowly getting on track Time to pack up and head to the coast; a change of scenery can't hurt.

Pattern Source: Not Just Socks
Yarn Supplier: Mind's Eye Yarns
After I graduated, I asked Lucy if she could dye some sock yarn in the colors of Tufts University. The result has been sitting in my stash, waiting for just the right idea. The length of the color repeats looked just perfect for baby items.
So I took out my copy of Not Just Socks to check out the coordinating items for the baby sweater in there. (You may remember the smores sweater I made with that pattern.)

Since she’s just starting to crawl I took the patterns advice and used a non slip grip fabric on the outside of sole.
I’ve never actually sewn baby slipper/shoes. It was a really fun process. It’s been awhile since I didn’t know exactly what was going to happen as pieces went together. It was exciting to follow the steps flip it over and go- oh hey look a shoe! To the patterns credit while I had no idea what I was doing these shoes sewed up really quickly and I did no ripping. The pattern includes clear picture instructions.
I made these entirely out of my stash and I’m excited to sew up a more summery pair. The pattern gives great advice on upcycling for these also. It will be hard to choose which animal to do next.
I’m really happy with the sizing they stay on her feet really nicely even though as a new crawler she is kicking and shimmeying her feet all over the place.
As a bonus after they do come off she loves playing with the little bunny ears 🙂

All too often we only catch up with our besties over the Facebook timeline or in 140 characters. Half of us confess to socializing more online than in real life. Here are the eight types of friends every girl needs.
The Core opposite
Every girl needs a friend who is nothing like her. As in utterly absolutely core opposite. These can be based on cultural, religious, practical or spiritual differences, but there should be at least a degree of opposition. It may seem strange to champion such a seemingly incompatible friendship, and I’m not asking you to buddy up with your nemesis, but this girl is one of the most valuable friends in helping to develop and cement your own views and values.
Tto a fault and is the one most likely to brighten up your idle Tuesday with an email reading “Omg. Last night. Spill. NOW”. She went to an all-girls school and introduces you to all of her classmates (who she’s still bffs with); Mercy, Shiko, Njeri, Amina, Milly, Faith, Sally and Collette. With her iPhone, BlackBerry and various tablets in her expensive handbag at all times, you know when she hasn’t been seen on Whatsapp for longer than 12 hours to call the police. The gossip loves to talk, a habit which has got her into trouble more than once
Sometimes you’ll huff that’s she cynical, but she’s only imparting advice to defuse situations she’s been in herself. What she has to say might not be what you want to hear, but one day you’ll realise it was what you needed to hear.
The risk-taker was a teenage rebel, and has the pierced nose and stretched ears to prove it. She might not spend her holidays hopping from festival to festival around Nairobi any more after attaining a high-powered job in the City (her parents are still reeling), but she still knows how to have a good time. She’s philosophical, analytical and a flawless assessor of risks. She jolts you out of your easy routine and into impromptu girl gateaways, thinking it’s a good idea to crash a Mingle party (it wasn’t) and turning that quiet few drinks after studies into an agonizing 24 hour bender. You might not always be in the right state of mind for her antics, but life around her is never, ever boring.
Somewhat self explanatorily, the mumis like a surrogate for when your shower has packed in, there’s no food in the house and everything just seems too much to cope with on a dreary Saturday afternoon. The has been baking since she was seven, makes the perfect cup of tea and loves nothing more than an excuse to have everyone around (at a sensible hour, and as long as you remember to remove your shoes). A perpetual mother-in-training, she loves nothing more than to fuss after her friends and plan fun activities for them. Her comforting neuroses are like being welcomed back home when your own mum is too far away.
You and your ‘not boyfriend’ boy friend will always get mistaken for a couple, but men’s handy ability to compartmentalize their lives and general refusal to sweat the small stuff can help girls to realize a lot of the things we worry about really are utterly trivial. Any gruff words of comfort he gives you are often the most touching, and any compliments paid are meant in utmost sincerity, as the way you two interact is free from the intrinsic complications of a relationship
Likewise, every man should have a close female friend to advise him on his latest romantic endeavours and how to avoid any pitfalls.


Here’s five reasons why you should pre-screen your tenants!
 In the event that you’vn 6 to 9 months at the Sessions Court for an eviction order to finally be issued! What’s worse? It could cost up to RM25,000 to do so!
Renting out your property can come with great risks as getting an incompatible tenant can be a time-consuming and costly affair.
While tenancy agreements can help secure your interests to some extent, it is always better to have a preventive measure like tenant pre-screenings in place.
1. Find out who they really are!
With the modern age of technology, it is very easy to forge identity credentials. Minimise this risk with tenant screening, as this allows landlords to see below the surface through identity verifications, financial health checks, employment, civil records, reference checks and criminality checks.
2. What if you rented to a criminal?
As mentioned above, a pre-screen would include criminality checks that can help red-flag people with a checkered past. I am sure no one wants their property to be a part of a drug or money laundering operation or used for unscrupulous activities! Nor do you want to find out that your entire house has been cleared out because your tenant is a known thief! With a tenant screening report, you can prevent yourself from renting to unsavoury characters.
3. Find out if they are good for the money!
A financial check can help showcase how reliable a person is in managing debts and credit. The better they are at managing their finances, the more peace of mind you would have at collecting rent. Having a thorough tenant screening report helps you make informed decisions before you and your prospective tenant sign the dotted line on the tenancy agreement.
4. Prevention is better than paying for damages!
They say a stitch in time saves nine and that can ring true in a situation like this. While some may consider this to be an extra step in securing a tenant, early detection of red-flags can help landlords protect their investments, minimise risk of unnecessary tenancy that can lead to property damage or financial loss.
5. Tenant screenings is affordable!
A major misconception about screening practices is that it is expensive. That is untrue. A tenant screening report only costs a couple of hundred ringgit. Give yourself peace of mind and safeguard yourself from potentially having to go to court in order to get an eviction notice, which would take time, waste your money and risk potential damage to your property from a potential nightmare tenant!

Koha reported unofficial informationme minister position will be rotating, three years for the SDSM and one year for the DUI.
How the discussions with the DUI will develop is still uncertain as earlier this month Ahmeti was summoned for questioning at The Hague-based war crime court for his role in the militant group Kosovo Liberation Army (KLA).
Ahmeti is the first politician from North Macedonia to be summoned by The Hague-based court. After the Kosovan war, Ahmeti was a leader of the KLA’s wing in Macedonia, the National Liberation Army (NLA) that launched a conflict in 2001 fighting with the Macedonian army and police.
The conflict ended with the Ohrid agreement giving ethnic Albanians bigger involvement in institutions and more rights.


Those who know me will know that I love hankies. I always have at least one in my pocket, one in my bag, and occasionally one in my bra strap when I don't have pockets. I keep one under my pillow, and when I change my bed sheets I find a whole cache of them where they've multiplied.
They are not only useful (you can use them for a whole range of things - not just nose blowing), but they can also be really cute. Here's a few of my favourite hankies that I own.
I love how retro this one looks with its bold colours. I also have this one in a pale green and a blue.
So where can you get a cute hanky to show off that you mean business? I've found an Australian shop that sells gorgeous printed hankies online (as well as a whole lot of other cute accessories). This one is called the "Cute things" print - can you see why?

China and the Free Trade Fantasy
President Obama's personal summit with China's new president, Xi Jinping, at the well-named venue of Rancho Mirage, Calif., covered a wide range of issues, from North Korea to cyber-spying to territorial disputes with Japan and Taiwan, to global climate change. What the meetings did not engage is the fact that China's entire economic system violates the naïve American premise that free markets produce efficient and balanced outcomes.

2000 Fox Lorber DVD top; 2021 MVD BD bottom.
All the DVD did have for us was a fullscreen trailer. That same trailer is back on the blu, but the disc's biggest surprise is that it also includes a great, 40-minute retrospective documentary. It includes new interviews with producer Joel Castelberg, along with Bogdanovich and actor Brian Kerwin. But it also edits in additional vintage interviews with Baumbach himself, as well as EPK interviews and B-roll with other cast members. This was clearly put together by a fan; it offers a lot of insight and intriguing trivia (wait 'till you hear what other actors were nearly cast in some of these roles). It even gets into Highball; and in fact, the Highball trailer is also included, along with a couple bonus ones.

"We are not in touch anymore, but he was an incredibly supportive and loving boyfriend at the time," Money says. "We picked the parents, and we"
In the PMD video, Money shared footage of herself cradling the newborn during her hospital stay. She revealed that the experience — and the years that followed — weighed heavily on her.
"I was really consumed with trying to prove myself to everyone and caring a lot about what people thought of me. I lost myself in that for a long time really trying to overcompensate from this mistake that I made," she said in the clip. "It's taken a lot for me to get here. It doesn''ve made in life and the trials that you've gone through."
In fact, Money didn't feel comfortable opening up about that chapter in her life for a long time. She didn't even tell her daughter, Brielle, until recently.
"My son is now 19 years old ,and I just told Brielle about him a few months ago. She was really sweet about it all and helped me feel so much more comfortable talking about it.

Culture	by Ingrid van Amsterdam 9 Aug 2020 10 Aug 2020
Today it’s International World Indigenous Peoples Day. So significant in today’s day and age, with – despite Covid-19 – migration of people is undeniable and needs to be acknowledged. It may sound silly but I remember reading in a weekly magazine in the Netherlands many many years ago, the words: ‘Kleur bekennen‘. It can mean ‘to confess’, but translated word for word it means ‘to acknowledge colour‘. It was used in the context of fashion and the application of colour in fabrics. As if people were scared of it. The two words ‘kleur bekennen’ have always stuck with me.
We still seem to have a problem with people from different race. Fear of the unknown. Let us put some real effort into getting to know our neighbour. You might not realise it but at least 85 percent of our (New Zealand) population identify with different ethnicities and have origins in Europe and Asia. That’s not counting those people with other ethnicities including those of Māori, Pacific, Middle Eastern/Latin American/African or ‘other’ (Demographics of New Zealand – Wikipedia). It is time to, regardless of where you live or where you see yourself on the socio-economic ladder.
Also, how do you acknowledge your heritage? Do you implement this in your day to day life? Do you observe it on certain days of the year only? Do you remember the language you grew up with? Do you accept other cultures in your community or do you shy away from them? Remember that we, or our ancestors, all travelled from somewhere to get to where we are today. Love and respect and a willingness to open up and learn will go a long way if you let it so ♡

U.S. fails to reach men’s hoops final for second time ever </s> Today was the day our 19-year-old water heater decided to retire. I had lugged the dirty laundry down to the basement, and noticed the water on the floor. I called the gas company, as we have a service contract with them that covers our natural gas furnace and water heater. They said the soonest they could have someone out to look at it was tomorrow.
Then my husband came home, unwrapped the insulation wrap from the water heater, and could plainly see the water sliding out the seams of the metal. This is not fixable, he said. We called the gas company back, and they said they didn’t actually install new water heaters, just diagnose problems and do repairs. (So this service contract isn’t really much good, is it?)
I looked at the warrantee; it had expired nine years ago. The energy-efficiency tag was also in the basement, showing our water heater to be, well, not very efficient. Considering that it was a budget model the builder installed before we bought the house, it actually did pretty good.
A local hardware and plumbing store I called said it normally takes about two weeks to schedule a water heater replacement, but since ours was leaking water onto the floor, they would squeeze us into tomorrow’s schedule. Hooray! They’ll disconnect the old one, get the city building permit, install a replacement that meets the current housing code regulations, and haul the old leaky one away. But until that happens, no hot showers or warm hand-washings. And the trusty tornado mop will stay nearby.
I’m thankful for things like washing machines and water heaters. No way do I want to go natural, AKA, back to the “good ole days”. Things like leaky water heaters remind me that we are blessed in a hundred little ways every day. </s> Few weeks ago I attended a “Education Symposium” at Dekalb Office. The conversations of the day focused on learning spaces. The first session focused mostly on libraries and that afternoon more toward schools and classrooms. One thing that was brought over and over was the idea of areas in schools with a coffee shop atmosphere. Some schools were even putting coffee shops in their libraries.
So back to schools. Yesterday (which is what prompted me to finish my research on this), I saw a tweet from Josh Stumpenhorst asking what the ideal classroom would look like. After I and another teacher responded, he said “I want my classroom to look like a coffee shop.” There is that coffee shop idea again. A place where conversation, comfort, and collaboration can flourish. If a city of 2 million people who speak multiple language can be a birthplace of some of the most extraordinary ideas of its time, imagine what can take place in a school of just a few hundred students. Add in whiteboards and technology to jot information on and there is no telling what students can come up with.
I know this would not work in all schools with all students. I do know that if this culture is taught it can become easier and easier to cultivate. I do wonder how behavior

It's important, therefore, if you wear braces to make a concerted effort to brush and floss thoroughly. Besides improving technique and taking more time, you might also consider additional aids. You can obtain toothbrushes specially designed for use with braces, as well as floss holders or threaders that make it easier to access between teeth. Another flossing alternative is an oral irrigator that sprays water under pressure between teeth is an alternative to flossing.

If you’re considering a dental implant as a replacement for a lost tooth, you’re looking at a restoration method with an amazing 95% success rate after ten years. But that being said there’s still a risk, albeit quite low, the implant might fail.
And if you smoke, the risk is slightly higher. In a recent study of implant patients, twice as many of the failures occurred in smokers compared to non-smokers. If you’re a smoker, you can increase your chances of a successful outcome if you quit the habit.
Nicotine, a chemical within tobacco, is the primary cause for this higher risk. Besides its effect on the pleasure centers of the brain, nicotine also restricts smaller blood vessels that are abundant in the mouth and skin, causing less blood flow. As a result, the mouth doesn’t have as many antibodies and other substances available to fight infection and help traumatized tissues heal.
Because of this, as well as reduced saliva flow due to the habit, smokers have an increased risk of dental disease and are slower to respond to treatment. This can be especially problematic if the gum tissues around an implant become infected, which could lead to a catastrophic failure. Slower healing also impacts the post-surgery period when bone cells in the jaw are growing and adhering to the implant surface, forming a stronger bond.
To avoid these potential risks you should stop smoking before you undergo implant surgery. If you can’t completely kick the habit, you should at least stop a week before surgery and for two weeks after. It’s also critical that you practice good oral hygiene — both brushing and flossing — to minimize the occurrence of dental disease and see us for regular checkups and maintenance appointments.
Taking these steps will greatly increase your chances of being in the vast majority of people who continue to enjoy success with their implants for many years.
If you would like more information on the impact of smoking on dental health, please contact us or schedule an appointment for a consultation. You can also learn more about this topic by reading the Dear Doctor magazine article “Dental Implants & Smoking.”
Tags: ibuprofen   pain management
Millions of Americans regularly use ibuprofen to manage minor pain and swelling. As with other fields in healthcare, the drug is a mainstay in dentistry especially for post-procedural discomfort. But ibuprofen and similar drugs also have side effects that can lead to serious health problems. So, should you be concerned about its safety?
For most people, ibuprofen is safe and effective — but only if used properly. Like aspirin, ibuprofen is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that reduces pain and inflammation by blocking the effect of substances called prostaglandins, released by injured or damaged tissues. NSAIDs differ in mechanism from pain relievers like steroids or narcotics and don’t have the same side effects, especially the addictive qualities and impaired consciousness potential of narcotics like morphine or codeine. While these more potent drugs are usually reserved for serious injuries or illnesses, NSAIDs like ibuprofen are ideal for mild to moderate pain following routine dental work.
The biggest concern for the use of an NSAID is its tendency to thin the blood, especially if used continuously over several weeks; this can make bleeding control more difficult after an injury. Prolonged overuse has also been linked to erosion of the stomach lining leading to ulcers or bleeding, kidney failure, early miscarriage and repeat heart attacks for patients with cardiovascular disease.
With this in mind, we recommend that adults take no more than 2,400 milligrams of ibuprofen during one twenty-four hour period for short-term pain relief unless otherwise recommended by a doctor. Research has shown that a single 400-milligram dose of ibuprofen is safe and effective for relieving even severe post-operative pain for about five hours in most people. On the other hand, we don’t recommend a NSAID during pregnancy or for people with a history of intestinal bleeding or heart attacks.
Taking into account your medical history and the procedure you’ll be undergoing, we will recommend the best pain management medication for your situation. In most cases, ibuprofen will be an effective means to reduce your discomfort level and, taken properly, will not pose a danger to your overall health.
Root Canals Restore Your Decayed Teeth
By By George Mui, DDS, Ltd. Gentle Dental Care
What your dentist in Mount Prospect, IL wants you to know.
If you have a badly decayed tooth, you may think your only option is to have the tooth removed. But then you are faced with living with a wide  open space in your smile. You could replace your tooth with an implant or a dental bridge, but that could get expensive. Why not fix your badly decayed tooth with a root canal? That’s right, now you can fix your tooth and keep it intact, a vital part of your smile. Dr. George Mui at Gentle Dental Care in Mount Prospect, IL wants to share with you how root canals can restore your decayed teeth.
Root canals are helpful in many cases if your tooth is severely decayed or traumatized and broken. Severe, throbbing tooth pain is often an indicator you may need a root canal, but sometimes pain is completely absent. A tooth can die totally on its own, when the inside of your tooth, an area called the pulp, hardens and closes. This process is called sclerosis. You may notice your tooth darkening if this happens.
The first step is to visit your dentist in Mount Prospect for a thorough dental examination, including x-rays. Dr. Mui will do some vitality tests and take some x-rays of the roots of your teeth to determine if you need a root canal.
If you do need a root canal, Dr. Mui will make a small opening in the top of your tooth, and remove the diseased tissue using small instruments called files. He may place a sedative filling inside your tooth to help it heal and to reduce your symptoms. After a healing period, your tooth will be reopened and further shaped. Dr. Mui will place an inert, rubbery material inside your tooth and fill the opening with a permanent metal filling. Your appointment will require between 1 and 3 appointments depending on the severity of infection in your tooth.
When you choose a root canal, your decayed tooth can be restored and you can keep your tooth as an important part of your smile. You deserve to have a pain-free smile, and choosing a root canal can help. Call Dr. George Mui at Gentle Dental Care in Mount Prospect, IL for more information on root canal therapy. Call today and restore your smile!

The Touch Rugby World Cup is proving to be a real family affair for one South Wales woman.
Her 16-year-old daughter Sophie Lewis is playing in the Wales Women’s Open team, her son Martyn Seymour, 33, and his girlfriend, Emily Baird, 27, are playing in the Wales Mixed Open team, and Kath’s brothers Kevin, 45, and Matthew, 33 will be refereeing. Wales will also compete in the Men’s Open and over-40s competitions.
Meanwhile, Sophie, has already represented Wales in volleyball and played in the Touch Rugby European Championships, in Swansea, last year.
“It’s a real family affair for us, but that's how a lot of people get involved in the sport - by taking the family along.
Sadly, there has been no funding for the trip other than what the players have raised themselves in addition to some local sponsorships from Unison and Merthyr firm Fixwell Fasteners, who have sponsored the women’s open team shirts.

Spousal RRSP: A spousal registered retirement savings plan (Spousal RRSP) is often used to lighten the tax load for couples with big income disparity, as it avoids a higher-income earner from having a large pile of retirement savings in their RRSP while the lower-income earner has a small pile. The limit to the amount you can contribute to an RRSP remains the same even if you have an RRSP and a Spousal RRSP to contribute to!


It is amazing to me how busy life can be. It seems to me that we spend our days running here and there and taking care of everything we are responsible for. I can’t imagine how I will feel once my kids are in school and have their own activities and responsibilities.
I received samples in exchange for this post. All opinions are my own.
We have a few things we like to do each week to make sure we get some quality family time together as a family. We set aside one night each week as family night, Mondays, and almost always also include a movie night as well.
Most Friday nights you can find us snuggled up in our blankets and pajamas as a family, watching one of our favorite flicks and munching on our favorite snacks and treats. We recently upgraded our family movie nights to theater status with our Epson PowerLite Home Cinema 600 3LCD projector. Featuring 3000 lumens of color brightness and 3000 lumens of white brightness, this projector shines bright. I am amazed at how clear and crisp the picture is.
Here are our favorite ways to use our projector:
To watch movies as a family.
Playing our Wii life sized.
Using YouTube to watch music videos and host our own little dance parties.
Take it outside and have a movie night under the stars. (We plan on doing this a TON this summer.)
Show a slide show featuring photos while hosting a party.
I am so impressed by how affordable this projector is. It packs a huge punch from such a small package! I am amazed how often we use it, it has really taken our family nights up a level.
If you are looking for a delicious movie night snack, look no further! Here is a family favorite dip recipe you HAVE to try!
Cheesy Crock Pot Chip Dip
2 cans Rotel Tomatoes (any kind, I like the cilantro)
2 8oz pkgs Cream Cheese
1 Can of Olives- Diced and drained
3 Green Onions- Chopped
Melt and warm in a crock pot. Serve with tortilla chips or crackers.
Yum! You are ready for movie night!
What are your movie night must haves?

That is one sweet projector! We’ve been thinking about getting one. Our movie night must have is a wide variety of nom noms that are just terribly unhealthy. =D
My movie night must haves are my Netflix and my puppies. As long as I have those and my hubby next to me on the couch, I’m good.

Dr. Bertrand Lebouché reflects on his career and the significance of patient engagement
Published: 29May2020
Dr “I want to help those who disappear in the health care system because they are not taken care of, because they think they have an illness they cannot talk about,” says Dr. Lebouché. “I want to help break the stigma and make them reappear.” It is this objective that led him to Université Lavals in 2004. “There was a very famous teacher at Université Laval, Pr. Raymond Lemieux, and I wanted to work with him on the concept of people who are actually disappearing in health care systems.”
Dr. Lebouché works as a the Chronic Viral Illness Service (Glen site) where 70% of his patients have HIV. “HIV patients must be given comprehensive care, a holistic approach, and only family medicine can do that. That is why I chose family medicine; it allowed me to do exactly what I wanted to do. Family medicine is global care on patients who have specialized diseases.” A desire to be an advocate for HIV patients was slowly brewing inside of him since the beginning of his studies. “What really struck me when I was a medical student in France is when I saw the first cases of HIV in children, in pediatrics,” he explains. “One child kept saying that it was not fair that he had this disease, and his family would not let him talk about it. He passed away afterwards without having the opportunity to tell his story. It is like he just disappeared. Until this day, I still remember exactly what his hospital room looked like, it really touched me.” During his residency in family medicine, Dr. Lebouché found himself in a HIV unit during his second rotation. “I liked it so much that I asked to stay, and I never left. I have continued taking care of HIV patients.”
Dr. Lebouché also recently received a $ 99,540 grant from the MI4 Emergency COVID-19 Research Funding (ECRF) for his project “Use of OPAL for COVID, a mobile application, for real-time at home follow-up of people who test positive for COVID-19 at the Glen site: a feasibility study.” A primary aim of public health agencies is to identify, monitor, track, isolate, and treat anyone with symptoms of COVID-19 to prevent transmission. Around 90% of those who test positive for COVID-19 stay home after their diagnosis. “It is terrible when people have COVID-19, they cannot see their loved ones because they are very contagious. They have to isolate themselves during a scary time,” says Dr. Lebouché. He is teaming up with Opal app creators Dr. John Kildea, Dr. Tarek Hijal and Dr. Jamil Asselah to create an app that provides resources for COVID-19 patients isolating at home. Patients will be able to self-monitor symptoms and connect with health care providers if their illness worsens. This innovation will improve safety for those isolating at home with COVID-19 while also providing critical data on COVID-19 illness to help us better understand the disease. “We want to create a safe space, so that COVID-19 patients know that even if they are home alone, they have contact with a nurse every day. We want to help them feel connected with the health care system,” notes Dr. Lebouché. “This is truly the role of research in family medicine. When there is a new health issue that comes up, we use the tools that we already have to determine how we can help our patients.”

I will bet these bills were put up jobs, ones that no one had objection to and agreed upon in advance. The only reason to serve up these softballs to the King was to allow him to hit them out of the park with a nod of his head, thus confirming his royal authority. This with wigs (unpowdered) and robes in every corner to awe the populace.
Upon which the British wealth was founded, based on sheep wool being raised in the Midlands and exported all over Europe from Britain. Many is the Wool Church in the English Midlands erected to God by a grateful magnate whose wealth was built upon wool, especially in the Cotswolds. The woolsack upon which the Lord Chancellor sat was to remind him from whence his comfort came, and indeed from whence came the riches of Britain, and so to do nothing to mess up the works.

From Row, 1983: Saint Blaise may be a spurious canonization of the Slavic horse god Vlaise, or Vlas, a consort of the lunar Diana. (The church in Dubrovnik may illustrate this Slavic origin.) "He was Christianized about the 8th century, but kept his pagan function as a patron of animals. Charms read aloud in churches claimed he could heal any sick beast. The myth of his martyrdom was dressed up with the traditional seven priestesses, who gathered up his sacred blood. In England he was known as Blazey."

A little OT for Sam, but from Evelyn's Diary entry above (thank you Dirk) an interesting note. In the movie called "Charles II: The Power and the Passion (BBC Original Version) or "The Last King" (A&E US version)Charles is getting dressed in his full robes, crown, scepter, etc. and getting ready to disband Parliament (at the end of his reign). In the DVD note to the move, the people who actually we used to dress Charles (Rufus Sewall) in that scene were not actors, but the actual experts in historical clothing, who had worked on the movie costuming, etc. The commentator explained that it would have been 'too hard' to have trained actors to learn the proper way to 'dress' the King, as each layer involved a lot of little details and several people were attending to him just to dress him. It was an amazing scene to see the grandeur and spectacular clothing, crown, etc,. The clothing must have been very difficult to move in as it must have weighed a ton!
Further on wool & the Cotswolds:

So, where were the servant women supposed to be sleeping? In a room off the kitchen? I had always assumed they were upstairs somewhere, but this makes clear they were not. many servants slept in front of the kitchen fire up to the beginning of the 20th century (only source of warmth), so i do wonder why Sam was "vexed". Was it the burning candle (potential fire hazard?) Or is it Sam feeling his exercise of power and control is not working here. And why did sleeping in front of the fire, make it easier to get up early to scrub the floors? Or was that to do with the need to keep a candle alight?

This Mrs Pierce is not to be missed, for the three days April 27, 1662 to April 30, 1662, she rings down through the ages as the True Party Girl (and this in the middle of Lent, what a one she was). Then having 19 children and she was older than she looked. Only Dolly Parton can equal our Mrs. Pierce. Yes, she was older than she looked and she PULLED THE WOOL over everyone's eyes. Pepsyians, arise, seek and find, there has to be a centerfold oil painting by Gainsborough of our delectable Mrs Pierce. Terrible tragedy that Elizabeth's portrait should be murdered, murdered, MURDERED by a Victorian, but that painting is gone, gone, gone. Maybe there's one of Mrs Pierce. She wouldn't be dull, by any means. It's all in the eyes, I look forward to seeing her eyes in her painting.
Sam's vexation.
Secondly, that a candle has been burning all night. Candles cost money, even tallow candles, and households would economise on the use of candles where they could. Sam is annoyed by the waste of good candle-wax.

It is unlikely that the Cotswolds were named after a Mr Codswald, more likely that he was named after the birthplace of his ancestors. English place names named after people are common, but ancient and not quite so obvious, e.g. Nottingham is the village of Snotte's people. People, recognisably, named after places is much more common (Washington, Lincoln, Clinton, etc.)

EFRA report slams government’s slow response to food supply chain coronavirus threat
By Ian Quinn2020-07-30T00:01:00+01:00
The report said the impact on food supplies would have been far worse had the industry not stepped up to fill the vacuum left by government inaction
MPs have slammed the government’s slow response to the threat of Covid-19 to the food supply chain – and called for new measures to help it recover..
The EFRA Committee questioned why, given the Covid-19 outbreak was seen in other countries before reaching the UK, the government was so slow to react, though it found in many areas Defra’s response was “largely commendable”.
However, the report criticises the delays in providing guidance for key workers in the food supply sector, including guidance on the use ofof which it said was left to the industry to lead.
Today’s report called on ministers to develop a major new strategy to ensure the “previously thriving” hospitality and foodservice sectors remain economically viable over the next 18 months.
It said ministers should commit long-term funding to help those suffering from hunger by continuing to fund £5m a year to FareShare’s project to redistribute otherwise wasted food from the farmgate to frontline community groups.
“With the report stating that further financial difficulties will continue for at least a year, it’s essential that the government provides a clear indication of how it will support wholesalers during the market’s slow recovery.
The report found that cross-border movement of food managed to keep the country well supplied, despite empty shelves in supermarkets.
“Dee g,” said Neil Parish, chair of the EFRA committee.
“Once g “panic””
 is able to cope with unprecedented pressures,” said a government spokeswoman.

These videos coming out of Ukraine are certainly a hoot for those of us comfortably watching them from our laptops and smart phones, but the flurry of such videos to come from Ukrainian aviation assets seems a bit less like flights of fancy and a bit more like airborne irresponsibility following the October announcement that one Ukrainian and one American pilot died when their Su-27 went down during joint NATO training operations.
While details regarding that specific incident remain sparse — the steady stream of videos of pilots from that same nation’s Air Force apparently dismissing normal safety standards coupled with the loss of an American pilot aboard one of their fighters makes these videos a little harder to applaud.

Hydroxyproline (HYPcatalyzed by an enzyme prolyl 4-hydroxylase (P4H) which plays a crucial role in the synthesis of all collagens. Considering the role of collagen and its significance in many clinically important diseases such as liver fibrosian assay at cell-based system. The reason is that cell-based assay system is more efficient than enzyme-based in vitro system and takes much less time than in vivo system. Several assay procedures developed for P4H are laborious, time-consuming and not feasible for the massive-screening. Here, we report the cell-based assay method of prolyl 4-hydroxylase in immortalized rat hepatic stellate HSC-T6 cells. To optimize the cell culture condition to assay for HYP content, various concentrations of reagents were treated for different times in HSC-T6 cells. Our data showed that the treatment with ascorbate in a hypoxic condition for 24 h resulted in the maximal increase of HYP by 1.8 fold. Alternatively, cobalt chloride (
) and ascorbate (
) in normoxic states exhibited similar effect on the production of HYP as in a hypoxic condition. Therefore, cobalt chloride can be substituted for a hypoxic condition when an anaerobic chamber is not available. Rosiglitazone and HOE077, known as inhibitors of collagen, synthesis decreased P4H enzyme activity by 32.3% and 15%, respectively, which coincided with previous reports from liver tissues. The level of the smooth muscle
-actin, a marker of activated stellate cells, was significantly increased under hypoxia, suggesting that our experimental condition could work for screening the anti-fibrotic compounds. The assay procedure took only 3 days after treatment with agents, while assays from the primary stellate cells or liver tissues have taken several weeks. Considering the time and expenses, this assay method could be useful to screen the compounds for the inhibitor of prolyl 4-hydroxylase.6~272

A rapid analytical method was developed to quantify very long-chain fatty acids (VLCFAs, C22:0, C24:0, C26:0) in human plasma with good sensitivity and specificity using tert-butyldimethylsilyl (TBDMS) derivatization and stable isotope GC-MS selective ion monitoring (GC-MS/SIM). Two-hundred and fifty
of plasma was fortified with deuterated stable isotope internal standards (d3-C22:0, d3-C24:0, d3-C26:0) and standard mixtures of chloroform and methanol, and then extracted with hexane and acetonitrile. To upper layer of liquid-liquid-extraction, N-(t-Badded and then heated to
for 30 min to produce the TBDMS derivatives. Derivatives of VLCFAs were analyzed by GC-MS/SIM. Calibration curves showed a linear relationship for the target compounds in the concentration range of
with the correlation coefficient ranging from 0.996 to 0.999. The limit of quantification for the plasma was
(S/N=3). When applied to the plasma specimens of patients with peroxisomal disorder, X-linked adrenoleucodystropy (ALD, Mckusick 202370), the method clearly differentiated normal subjects from ALD patients. The C24:0/C22:0 and C26:0/C22:0 ratios X-linked ALD compared to normal subjects. The new developed method might be useful for a rapid and sensitive diagnosis of X-linked ALD and other peroxisomal disorders.

| </s> She may have arrived fat, chubby and clueless into the world of Tollywood. Nayantara, however, is now ruling the land of showbiz here. Tides have turned in her favor ever since Sri RamaRajyam. Nayan had silenced the world full of critics that she was not just about curves and oomph. The lady’s exemplary performance as Sita won her the coveted National Award and many materialistic accolades.
Riding high on the wave of success, Nayan makes it a point to rule all the three lands of South Cinema – Telugu, Tamil and Malayalam. While she keeps it subtle and proper with some roles, Nayan displays great adaptability where and when it matters.
Her upcoming film with Venkatesh, Babu Bangaram, is a testimonial of sorts. Nayan looks like she has metamorphosed into something divine. Her looks are angelic and mind blowing.
Some of the stills that were released by the film’s production unit showcase Nayantara in her most amazing self – slim, toned, relaxed and bright. The actress seems to be glowing from internally within.
Have a look at the stills if you haven’t already. We are still drooling this side.

“Popstar: Never Stop Never Stopping” Review: My Kind Of Idiocy


What I’m seeing, however is that you’re not providing team members with enough feedback and coaching. If there’s something wrong they need to know so they can fix it, otherwise they’re just going to perpetuate the same mistakes. I need you to tell them what they’re doing right, as well as what they can improve on, so that they can advance and grow. The better feedback you give them, the more it will enhance the quality of their work for the company.

Plan X for the rescue!
Reisverslag Plan X for the rescue!
I have FINALLY gotten my Chinese student Visa!
In the meantime I checked for express-delivery options, which turned out to be 1. HORRIBLY and ridiculously expensive & 2. not very "express", because for about 150 euro I could have the documents after a minimum of 2 working days, but of course there was going to be a weekend in between aaaand a holiday, so it would take at least 5 days again...
By now I was going mad. I really finally wanted to leave!
I checked out the options to get my visa done over there. It didn't look too good. 1 in 2 people on forums and travel-websites said that it is difficult and should be prevented. One should rather apply from home, because that is what is expected by the Chinese authorities...As I was getting sick and tired of all these "safe" options I decided to f*ck it and go. I called with my supervisors at my University in Maastricht the same evening to discuss this decision and booked a flight. Luckily I found someone who lives in HK, who could recieve the documents for me (thanks a ton once again, Daniel, my savior!
A few days later I would be off in the sky!Finally on my way to China, I couldn't wait!
But then, on the sunday, 2 days before my flight, Gab suddenly felt a lot of pain in his stomach and as it moved down to the right and just kept getting worse, I ended up bringing him to the first aid in the hospital that night with suspicion pf an appendicitis, and he ended up having surgery 1,5 days before I was going to leave!So instead of preparing for leaving, I mainly made sure that his place was in order, did groceries and tried to be a caring nurse, as he wasn't going to be allowed to lift anything or do much for the next 2 weeks. It was truly horrible to leave the poor soul just like that, half a day after coming from the hospital.. Surely not how I (we!
But nonetheless I was sitting on that plane the next morning and off I went to Hong Kong!
I had an AMAZING 1,5 weeks here!The first few days I stayed in a hostel and met a lot of nice people. The first night we went out into the city where people went absolutely crazy!
After I had finally gotten myself out of bed the next day I went to the postbox where I had received the magical documents from china. But of course, nothing goes without a challenge with my visa: There was a card in the box saying they had "missed" me and hence I should go to a certain post office. I managed to find that office fairly quickly (*shouldertap for myself*) and when it was my turn I neatly gave the guy behind the window the collection-card and my passport to confirm that I was the owner of this package. He took a felt 5 minutes to check every single letter of my name in the passport with the one on the envelope and then said "no match". No match?What do you mean?There is my first name and my last name, written correctly!"No match" - and he pointed at my second and third given names in the passport, which obviously were not on the label of the envelope.. Damn you dutch name-giving-traditions!
After I had explained the guy that dutch people are ridiculous and give their children many names which they never actually call them he was thinking and then said "Phooo ham ba". Excuse me?"Phooo hammm baaa Hong Kong". I am sorry, I am not sure I quite get you.. "Hong Kong PHO. HAM. BA!" And so I gave him the Hong Kong phonenumber he was asking for and got my envelope...
There I was, with my hundreds of documents that I needed to submit in the Netherlands to apply for a student visa. I filled in the application form and passed the nice lady behind the counter my pile of documents. She looked through it and pulled out only the 2 sacred forms that I had received from China (You would think they would be shiny and carry a red seal on it or maybe even have a halo, but it quite frankly looks like a sandwich-paperwrap type of paper with my name and some other facts on it written on a 100 year old typewriter or so...
As the lady didn't take all the other required documents herself, i neatly put them in front of her once again and asked her, what about these. "no need". But of course, yes need!
Doubting that this could ever work with this little trouble I left the agency and enjoyed that 1 week of waiting to the fullest!
Today the week was over and I went back to the agency. When I looked at the guy who had my passport and asked him "did it work?
I. DID. IT !Plan X succeeded!
Tomorrow morning (or actually this night, if you are reading this from Europe), I will be flying to Xiamen and finally start doing my research hopefully!And that means I will leave Hong Kong behind me. I have come to really love this city!Quite honestly I feel sad for leaving this place, haha. Also because it is very much different from the mainland and people here do not seem to be quite fond of the people beyond the border all the time...
Sooo.. it seems like a great and challenging experience, Let's do it!
Lieve Miriam, fantastisch dat het uiteindelijk gelukt is!Wat een doorzettingsvermogen!

Blittle over a decade, start and scale up a complicated set of businesses all under one holding company. As a company based in South Carolina, Honeycutt’s firm isn’t supposed to be able to recruit globally and draw engineering talent to what is, for tech, something of a desert, although it’s improving.
Honeycutt, 44, had no thoughts of holding companies, computer code or digital marketing in 2001, when he quit his job after his employer made deep cuts in its sales budget and commissions. He had been selling metal safety fences that mounted to catwalks and platforms placed in factories and other industrial settings. He had no fallback plan.
Today, Harmon and Honeycutt each own 50% of SixAxis, which doesn’t report revenues, but, based on my own estimates that aren’t disputed by Honeycutt, has an estimated $100 million in revenue. What we know: six years ago, SixAxis did $25.1 million in sales, and has enjoyed “double-digit growth” since. People with knowledge of the company estimate that growth rate to be near 25%, which, compounded, would put the company near $100 million in sales.
The second year, however, brought more sales—just under $1 million—and the realization that contracting out the manufacturing on an ad hoc basis wasn’t a good solution. The welds were sloppy and the equipment, though it worked, wasn’t good enough to sell in bigger quantities. So Honeycutt leased the cheapest manufacturing building he could find—it had a dirt floor—and slowly started hiring tradesmen to weld, cut and bend steel into the products he sold.
Many of the installations of Honeycutt’s equipment—metal stairs and platforms to straddle an oil pipeline, or a trestle built over train tracks to give workers safe access to tank cars–require a good amount of custom design. The process, similar to much of the industrial manufacturing world, worked like this: A client specifies the kind of apparatus they need and a salesperson takes notes and makes recommendations. A rough plan of the solution is then passed off to an engineer, who designs a solution with structural integrity and safety factors built in—a process that typically took two weeks. Those specs in hand, the job could then be priced and the potential customer served a quote. The customer often makes modification requests, of course, which forces this process to restart from the beginning.
As Honeycutt’s business grew, he added engineers and salespeople accordingly. These people were needed to grow the business. But in the factory, Honeycutt faced a shortage of skilled tradesmen, like welders, in his section of rural South Carolina. The solution: robots. As soon as the company could land a bank loan, it began upgrading its manufacturing with German-made machines that could do the work of men.
On the front end of his operation, the selling side, Honeycutt’s stabs at increasing productivity weren’t as successful. The company had run through a number of CRM software, but none of them helped produce quotes or push forward the production process, the real crux of Honeycutt’s customer funnel.
Coordinating with the engineers and fabricators, it took the software team two years to build out a tool that effectively turned salespeople into engineers. The result has multiplied SixAxis’ sales 500% during the last five years. The software is on its third major iteration now.
Direct labor once comprised 38% of the costs in selling and creating Honeycutt’s product, but his custom application has dropped that number to 7%. SixAxis’ top salespeople used to account for $2 million to $3 million of sales per year; now that number is $8 million to $10 million. “And it’s the same exact people,” Honeycutt says.
The software is built around a touch-screen user interface, which allows salespeople to easily manipulate a floor plan, schematic or whatever it is they may be trying to get people to buy. “It kind of becomes a video game—and that means salespeople will actually use it,” says Honeycutt, in a not-so-veiled reference to himself.
The idea of a high end manufacturer succeeding out of South Carolina doesn’t seem far fetched. After all, BMW makes many of its cars sold in North America in the state. But software, the province of Californians in Palo Alto, is an entirely different animal, a fact that Honeycutt realizes and seems to enjoy: “When you think of a sales guy starting and running a company that makes software, you’re kind of surprised, but it really works.”

Do you speak your truth? Do you reveal your own authenticity easily by letting others see the true you, or do you shrink back, not wanting to speak up for fear of rejection or disapproval? Do you sometimes stretch the truth ever so slightly, believing that the “little white lies” do not matter, when, in fact, they make you feel terrible afterwards?
Telling the truth can be scary whether you are being who you are or using your voice to communicate your needs or observations. But if you do not speak up, what is the consequence of your own internal falsehood? Does the seemingly inconsequential bargaining that internally takes place outweigh the hurtful voice of self-deception and dishonesty?
When you go against yourself, your self-esteem starts to diminish. It is like playing a bargaining game by trying to make choices that will hopefully empower you, but if that becomes too scary, you then choose the path of least resistance that minimizes the pain and discomfort.
I remember playing the “Truth or Dare” game as a teenager. A group of my friends would gather at the home of my childhood friend, Christine, and someone would suggest we play this game. Afraid of appearing foolish, I would anxiously ponder which choice to make as I paid close attention to the questions asked and dares made.
I tried to figure out which one put me in the best light while creating the least amount of embarrassment. Afraid of what my friends would think, I usually chose the dare in lieu of not having to reveal anything too personal. I worried – would they still like me; would I be accepted; would I stay in the inner circle? Truth or Dare? Doing the dare was sometimes the easier solution, but I later learned that telling the truth created the intimacy, which has allowed those same friendships to still exist today.
Most people try to be forthright, but sometimes the whole truth is not revealed for fear of being judged, fear of not wanting to hurt another person’s feelings or having to sit with the pain of shame for not being better, much less perfect. Daring to tell your truth frees you to live an authentic lifestyle without constrictions. Being honest about what is important to you and deciding how to reveal that to others is courageous, especially when they may not agree, endorse, approve or like it.
But when you use your voice, it is a starting point foror perhaps a separation from those who do not know how to support you. By speaking YOUR truth, you sanction your own birthright to be happy and fulfilled based on how you want to impact the world around you.
Validates who you are and what you want.
Invites you to be open, honest and vulnerable.
Honors you, honors others.
Asks you to stand up for yourself, and others to do the same.
Insists you stop pleasing others.
Frees other people from choosing for you.
Brings in the heart, not just the head.
Opens the door to hear your inner wisdom or intuition.
Sets you free from regrets, old behaviors and past patterns.
Dismisses shame, co-dependency and negative self-talk.
Teaches discernment and how to ask for the right help from others.
Provokes personal growth and transformation.
Imbues vitality, energy and empowerment.
Makes decisions and clarifies the next step you must take.
Builds self-confidence and self-worth.
Ignites authentic action, propelling you towards your real goals and desires.
A Russian proverb states, “The bitter truth is better than a sweet lie.” I believe the beauty in truth telling is that it allows dignity to be present through respect, honesty, and integrity – important qualities needed for true intimacy and authentic connection. I am not suggesting you give unsolicited opinions or cause harm with your language. Rather, I am an advocate of mastering discernment by looking inward at your intent, being thoughtful with your words and actions and understanding the impact you want to make on others.
A former teacher used to say, “The truth is always good for you and the other (person).” Dare to share your truth with those around you today.
Give yourself permission to examine your life and your relationships. Do you tell the truth to yourself first and then others? Consider this: If you can’t trust, then who can you trust? So, let’s shoot straight, defy your doubts and construct bravery and courage.
In what ways does your outward life align, or not, with your values?
When do you allow yourself not to be your word? Are there any areas where “little white lies” or bargaining shows up?
What needs are getting met? If some are not, what can you do to ensure that they do?
What is kindness? To others, and to yourself?
3. Now, create a new personal “Standards of Integrity” list to guide you on your path of truth.
