In the office I continued the usual office duties like preparing welcome packets for incoming missionaries or letters for missionaries going home, baptismal records, managing referrals, talking with landlords, translating for the Simkins (senior missionary couple), and doing miscellaneous small tasks.
District meeting went well. We talked about charity and love, the Book of Mormon, and did role plays. We also gave RM (returned missionary) advice to Elder Evans which was fun and had pizza afterwards.
I had splits with the zone leaders on Friday so I was in the Pest side with Elder Roberts. We visited two less active members and it was a great program. They were very nice and even fed us with great food. At night we went to the St. Mattyias Church to see a performance by the Southern Utah Heritage Choir. It was really nice.
Last Saturday on P-day we went to an American restaurant. There was real American food like burgers, fries, milkshakes, and root beer! There was a Toronto maple leafs flag too. It was a retro style diner with a ton of old American stuff.
Transfers are coming up next week, so it will be a busy week!

A comparative, experimental study of the high-power diode-pumped laser performance and thermal lensing properties between standard b-cut Yb:KGW and Yb:KGW cut along an athermal direction is presented. The results show that thermal lens properties in both the b-cut and the athermal direction-cut crystals are determined by anisotropic thermal expansion in Yb:KGW. Thermal gradients due to the pump beam cause thermal lensing even in the athermal direction-cut geometry. The thermal lens is much weaker and less astigmatic in the athermal direction-cut crystal, for the same absorbed power. These properties allow generation of better-quality laser beams with the athermal direction-cut crystal as compared to the b-cut crystal.
The research that is presented in this thesis can be divided into two major parts. The first part concerns longitudinally pumped, bulk Er-Yb lasers. In these lasers, the main limitation is the thermal shortcomings of the phosphate glass host material. From the laser experiments and the spectroscopic measurements on crystalline host materials, as well as an investigation to bring further light to the physical background of the involved dynamics, the thesis presents some novel results that contribute to the search for a crystalline replacement. The second part concerns novel laser concepts applied to Yb-doped double tungstate lasers. Different crystal orientations are investigated, such as an athermal orientation for reduced thermal lensing and a conical refraction orientation for complete polarization tuning. Furthermore, the introduction of volume Bragg gratings in the cavity enables wide spectral tuning ranges and extremely low quantum defects.
Regarding the first part, the main results are the achievement of 15 % slope efficiency in a monolithic, continuous-wave Yb:GdCOB laser and the achievement of Q-switching of the same laser. The Q-switched pulse durations were around 5-6 ns and the Q-switched slope efficiency was 11.6 %. For both lasers, a maximum output power of 90 mW was obtained, which is close to ordinary glass lasers under similar conditions. A spectroscopic investigation into the Er,Yb-codoped double tungstates was also performed and the results have enabled mathematical modeling of the fluorescence dynamics in these materials. Finally, the temperature dependence of the dynamics in Er,Yb:YAG was studied and the results have given some insight into the physical background of the mechanisms involved.
Regarding the second part, different end-pumped Yb:KReW laser cavities were constructed to demonstrate the different concepts. With a laser crystal cut for propagation along the athermal direction at 17º angle clockwise from the dielectric direction Nm, the thermal lens could be reduced by 50 %. In these experiments the maximum output power was 4 W at 60 % slope efficiency. In another cavity incorporating a volume Bragg grating in a retroreflector set-up, the wavelength could be continuously tuned between 997 - 1050 nm. The spectral bandwidth was 10 GHz and the peak output power was 3 W. The same output power could also be obtained at 1063 nm with the grating positioned as an output coupler instead. If, on the other hand, the grating was positioned as an input coupler, 3.6 W output power at 998 nm was obtained at a quantum defect of only 1.6 %. Furthermore, using a crystal oriented for propagation along an optic axis, internal conical refraction could be used to establish arbitrary control of the polarization direction as well as the extinction ratio. Even unpolarized light could be enforced despite the highly anisotropic medium. With this configuration, the maximum output power was 8.6 W at 60 % slope efficiency which equals the performance of a reference crystal with standard orientation. The completely novel concepts of laser tuning with Bragg grating retroreflectors, of low quantum defect through Bragg grating input couplers and of polarization tuning by internal conical refraction can all easily be applied to several other laser materials as well.
Many rare-earth-doped materials are suitable for laser operation and this thesis focuses on diode-pumped solid-state lasers employing crystals doped with the trivalent rare-earth ions neodymium (Nd3+), ytterbium (Yb3+) and erbium (Er3+). Especially, the quasi-three-level transitions in Nd and Yb have been studied as well as the eye-safe three-level transition around 1.5 µm in Er.
Quasi-three-level laser transitions in neodymium-doped crystals such as Nd:YAG, Nd:YLF and Nd:YVO4 have received a great deal of interest because they allow for generation of blue light by frequency doubling. For solid-state blue laser sources, there exist numerous applications as in high-density optical data storage, colour displays, submarine communication and biological applications.
Efficient lasing on quasi-three-level transitions at 900¬–950 nm in Nd-doped crystals is considerably more difficult to achieve than on the stronger four-level transitions at 1–1.1 µm. The problems with these quasi-three-level transitions are a significant reabsorption loss at room temperature and a small stimulated emission cross section. This requires a tight focusing of the pump light, which is achieved by end-pumping with high-intensity diode lasers. Nd:YAG lasers at the 946 nm transition have been built and a maximum power of 7.0 W was obtained. By inserting a thin quartz etalon in the laser cavity, the 938.5 nm laser line could be selected and an output power of 3.9 W was then obtained.
By using nonlinear crystals, frequency-doubling of laser light at both 946 nm and 938.5 nm was achieved. Efficient generation of blue light at 473 nm has been obtained in periodically poled KTP, both in single-pass extra-cavity and intracavity configurations. More than 0.5 W was obtained at 473 nm by intracavity doubling. Intracavity second harmonic generation of the 938.5 nm transition gave slightly more than 200 mW at 469 nm.
During recent years, Yb-doped double-tungstate crystals like KGW and KYW have shown efficient laser operation. A comparative, experimental study of the laser performance and thermal-lensing properties between standard b-cut Yb:KGW and Yb:KGW cut along a novel athermal direction is presented. The results show that the thermal lens is about two times weaker and less astigmatic in the athermal-direction-cut crystal, for the same absorbed power. Also, Er-Yb-doped KGW and KYW have been investigated and the fluorescence dynamics have been measured for the Yb (2F5/2), Er (4I13/2) and Er (4S3/2) levels around 1 µm, 1.5 µm and 0.55 µm, respectively.
The influence of upconversion is a detrimental effect both in Nd-doped and Er-Yb-doped lasers. Analytical models starting from rate equations have been developed for these lasers including the influence of upconversion effects. The results of the general models have been applied to 946 nm Nd:YAG lasers and to Er-Yb-doped double-tungstate crystals in order to find the optimum doping concentrations for high gain for an eye-safe laser at 1.53 µm.
The objective of this thesis has been to investigate novel host material configurations for high-power end-pumped Er-Yb co-doped, or Yb doped microchip lasers and try to increase their performance. In Er-Yb co-doped systems, the main limitation is the thermal shortcomings of the phosphate glass host material. The thesis presents some novel results that contribute to the search for a crystalline replacement. In Yb doped systems, most end-pumped schemes reported have been using relatively low-power single-emitter diodes. The thesis presents experiments with Yb:KGW microchips end-pumped by high-power diode bars. Another common limitation of end-pumped Yb microchip lasers is the thermal lens that destabilizes the cavity and decreases the beam quality. The approach to reduce the thermal lens by using an athermal propagation direction has been evaluated and the results are presented in the thesis.
In the search for a crystalline host material for Er-Yb systems, borates have been found increasingly interesting. Consequently, we started out by investigating Gadolinium-calcium-oxoborate, GdCOB, which could be grown in platinum crucibles. It was found that the cw performance of such monolithic microchips is quite comparable to glass hosts in terms of slope efficiency, but the threshold is significantly larger. As for Q-switched performance, which is essential to most Er-Yb applications, the first efficient Q-switched results with a crystalline host is presented in the thesis. Similar to the cw regime, the slope efficiencies are comparable to glass, while the threshold is quite high. However, the perhaps most important parameter, maximum output power before thermal fracture, is neither significantly improved nor worsened compared with phosphate glass. This is believed to be due to higher threshold and a stronger thermal expansion that negates the benefit of a thermal conductivity that is only 2-3 times higher. To find a host material that could withstand higher pump powers, we turned our attention to the double-tungstates KGW and KYW, which have higher thermal conductivity and higher cross-sections. They have, however, energy level lifetimes which differ significantly from glass or borates and as a consequence, a thorough spectroscopic investigation has been undertaken to optimize dopant concentrations. Laser experiments on crystals with dopant concentrations based on this investigation are expected in the near future.
When pumping Yb:KGW with a high-power diode bar, we achieved output powers of 9 – 12.4 W under different experimental conditions with incident powers of 18.3 – 26 W. The incident power of 26 W in one design was enough to fracture the crystal. Using a crystal cut for propagation along an athermal direction and comparing it with an identical b-cut crystal, we found that the thermal lens in the athermally oriented crystal was about a factor two weaker at the same absorbed power.

text: 000 FXUS63 KSGF 200820 AFDSGF Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Springfield MO 320 AM CDT Sun May 20 2018 .SHORT TERM...(Today and tonight) Issued at 253 AM CDT Sun May 20 2018 Several clusters of convection were ongoing from central Missouri back to the southwest into southern Kansas and central Oklahoma. The largest area of convection was centered in Oklahoma within a better instability axis and stronger llj. MU capes in our area were generally around 1000-1500j/kg with the highest values in far southern missouri where that area has been missed from the bulk of the precip. Surface low pressure was over Central Kansas with a trailing boundary into Oklahoma as well as extending up into northwest Missouri. Expect convection to continue to develop and move into and through the area this morning. Just enough instability and shear exists for a marginal severe threat with large hail and damaging winds the main threats this morning. PW values are around 1.2-1.5in and we have seen heavy precip rates therefore some flash flooding is possible with any training storms, especially across locations that have already seen heavy rainfall from the last 24 hours. High res guidance indicates that the bulk of this precip will move through the morning with a potential lull around mid day. By the afternoon and evening, more shortwave energy will move into the region and interact with the remaining front over our area. Our atmosphere may be pretty worked over by then, however if the atmosphere can destabilize, then storms that develop could become severe. RAP forecasts for late afternoon into the evening show about 2000j/kg of ML cape with 30kts of 0-6km bulk shear. Mid level lapse rates dont look to be nearly as impressive as yesterday therefore not currently expecting quite the episode we experienced yesterday however some damaging winds and large hail would be possible during the afternoon and evening hours across the entire area if this instability materializes. With high PW values forecast, locally heavy rainfall and flooding could also occur. Precip will end from west to east during the early overnight hours. Lastly, high temperatures today will vary quite a bit and be dependent on the amount of cloud cover. .LONG TERM...(Monday through Saturday) Issued at 253 AM CDT Sun May 20 2018 Monday and Tuesday both look primarily dry other than a scattered storm or two across far southern missouri. Height rises are occuring both days and not seeing a strong trigger for storms at this point. Temperatures will remain very warm. Several shortwaves embedded in the flow approach by midweek with rainfall chances lingering into the end of the week.

Something that's been bugging me for a week now.
I think it's stupid when a business owner, whose business involves housing people, thinks he should be allowed to continue to house those people in a sub-standard way because that's how he's always done it.
I'm obviously not talking about my landlady - she's Da Bomb. (Do folks even say that anymore? I guess in blogspeak she'd be Teh Awsim. But I digress.)
I'm talking about someone here in town, who owns three - count 'em, three - trailer parks. And now, the city has told him (and everyone else that the rules apply to) that he either has to bring the homes therein that were made before 1977 up to federal (did you hear that? FEDERAL) safety standards or move them out.
He's literally made a federal case out of this. He's suing the city.
Now, never mind that our state does not allow these trailers to be brought in any more. And never mind that our county won't allow them to be brought in from another state, or even another county within our state.
He thinks he should be able to house people in these sub-standard, patently dangerous places.
His suit is one of the more ridiculous pieces of legal rambling I've seen - and I've seen some doozies in my time here.
(Your client got mad because he's arrested for getting drunk and peeing on the side of a police station? And then you let the client, who has no driver's license because of repeated DUI, take your fancy German automobile around town to wash it, but he ends up in his neighborhood showing it off, and the cops pick him up because they know it isn't his, and that he doesn't have a license, and your fancy German automobile gets impounded? Let's sue!)
He accuses the mayor of having a bone to pick with him. Of trying to run him out of business! Our mayor happens to be an extremely nice person, with three cute kids (that he sends to public schools, when he could clearly afford private) and the most gorgeous small-town-mayor's wife you've ever seen. All precious, all five of them.
No vendettas to be found.
(Never mind that the state fire marshall started this whole movement, what with those places having aluminum wiring - who ever thought THAT was a good idea - and tiny windows that not even children can get out of in case of a fire.)
(And, never mind that the city has torn down nearly a dozen other sub-standard structures in the past year because they didn't meet codes.)
(And, never mind that the more of these sub-standard places there are in the city, the lower our fire rating will be and the higher our insurance will be?)
How, you might ask, did this idiot get to file a federal lawsuit in this case? Why, by naming not only his business enterprise, but four of his residents, as plaintiffs. And claiming that their civil rights were being denied.
And that their Fifth and Fourteenth Amendment rights were being denied, because they had to find another place to live.
Now, I have nothing against mobile homes. I've spend roughly a third of my life living in them. My parents currently live in a fairly-new double-wide that's nearly twice as big as my house. But I do have something against taking advantage of the less-fortunate.
Would it inconvenience these folks to have to find somewhere else to live? Probably. I'd be inconvenienced if it were me. But look at the bigger picture, as one of our aldermen did when the ordinance was passed:
Better inconvenienced today, then dead tomorrow.

I had a neighbor who was SO certain that he didn't need to pay for electricity because it's the SAME ELECTRICITY going through each house. It goes through your neighbors house, and then through yours, and then through the next house and the next and the next. ... it sounded kinda plausible, LOL, like I was getting sucked into his delusion ... but I talked to a friend whose husband is an electrician and it's TRUE. We are all paying for the SAME electricity. Anyway ... this guy hooked his house up to the source at the curb and bypassed the meter. And he was suing the entire planet. For everything. Every time I spoke to him he told me who he was suing now. Ha. Interesting people. I liked them. But they sure were sue happy.
Sounds like you are doing good with the core stuff. I keep it in mind as I choose my foods through the day and feel like I am making some good choices ... but I must not be doing enough, because I'm still struggling.
Good luck!
And hang in there through the new church thing ... I'm sure the Lord is pleased that you all made a go of that church you were ... running? I haven't been around long enough to know what you were doing, but it sounds as if you were very involved and coming from "giving". Something will pan out.
Change is good. Just uncomfortable.

Something else I think is stupid: when I fix my family a nice CORE dinner of stir-fried pork and vegetables, served over brown rice, and my husband, the one without the weight problem, sends me across the street to Sonic to get him a dish of ice cream. Ice cream that he's just going to cover in delicious caramel sauce once I return home.
I showed him. I ate yogurt and blackberries, instead of the sundae he advised me to get for myself. Mine was so good!
Wendy, about the church - I hate to say we "ran" it, because God's really who is supposed to do that, but we did "run" the business of it. We started the church with my parents in 2003, and my parents gave the work over to the state-level officials last spring to see if they could do a better job of growing it. Jason and I led worship, I taught a class for kids Anna Marie's age, and Jason was the Administrative Pastor - he kept the books and made sure everything was ready for the worship services.
He's an ordained minister, and he was asked to pastor the church last year, but he really doesn't feel that is where his giftings lie. He's an amazing administrator - the complete and total opposite of me!

We are fastly approaching the end of August. While I am sad to see summer go, I am also excited for the Fall! September is the most perfect month of the year. It's also a great month for weddings (and I should know), spending more time outside (less humidity and BUGS) and of course, SHOPPING! Fall fashion is my favorite - sweaters, boots and coats - oh my! So I came up with my list for Fall things I must HAVE. This Fall I do have a goal. My goal is to buy less (and I am serious here), but buy better. I want to only purchasing things I absolutely love and know I'll wear for years. Will you be investing in anything this season?
1. boots (biker, tall and booties)
2. dark skinny jeans
3. fitted blazers
4. vintage inspired jewelry
5. messenger bag
6. brown leather fitted jacket

"Owlie Skywarn Books" help Chicagoland
Children Face Severe Weather Fears
Yesterday, much of Chicagoland once again came under either a Tornado alert of some kind ... or a Severe Thunderstorm alert. In fact, they predicted that we might experience a derecho.
It's that time of year in our area where those alerts pop-up often. Your hear the warning "beep beep beeps" on TV, loud sirens blasting warnings into communities, and even technology sending warnings out. Both my wife and I receive warnings via our cell phones.
We're greatful for the warnings. They serve a real purpose and tell us of impending danger. We then have time to take precautions and seek shelter. Proof of that fact was seen in Oklahoma recently, where even very short notice saved lives.
I know for a fact personally, that children can exhibit vastly different reactions to hearing these weather warnings. When a child, one of our sons was totally oblivious and un-alarmed during bad weather. The other booked for the basement immediately. Now a father, his child reacts much the same way. That bothered her grandpa ...
So when I came upon the info regarding the National Weather Service's "Owlie Skywarn Books", I knew I had to share them with my grand-daughter to help her address her fears.
"Owlie Skywarn Books" help teach children about severe weather and the precautions needed for safety during these situations. The books, available in pdf format, touch upon the differing types of severe weather experienced in the Midwest: Tornadoes, Lightning, Flash floods, and winter storms. (Plus others)

Yesterday I arrived home and was greeted with the words: "Your cat ran away last night"
I was highly confused, as Acouchi is terrified of the outdoors and has never once set foot outside our apartment. Apparently, she decided to overcome her fear. She made her escape at night and at approximately 4:00 pm Kris heard her meowing outside the front door. She opened it and Acouchi came slinking in.
I know you're wondering how I could not realize my baby was gone for over twelve hours, but it's actually pretty common for me to misplace things, I can just imagine what will happen when I have human children:
Neighborhood kid: Can Jimmy come play with us?
Me: Jimmy. . . Jimmy. . .Where is he anyway? I haven't seen him in like a month. Where did I last see him. . .Hey husband, did I ever pick Jimmy up from soccer camp?
It's quite frightening.
Anyway, I go into the living room to question Acouchi herself. She is FILTHY. VERY VERY FILTHY.
This must be remedies immediately.
I go into the bathroom, Fill up the tub to cat-friendly heights, grab a pitcher from the kitchen and then carry Acouchi into the bathroom.
She, of course, flails around, leaving some oh-so-deep cuts on my arm before I plop her into the water and dump a pitcher full of water onto her head. She stands there, stunned, then raises her head, looks at me and very loudly says: MEOW! In a very perturbed sort of way.
It is wrong that I was thoroughly amused?
I soap her up with Lavender soap, scrub her until she won't stand for it anymore, rinse her off, dry her off, and then groom her until she is once again the gorgeous mini-cougar she once was. Only now, she smells surprisingly good.

67 - 47 Final
Johnson, Purdue crush Michigan StateFeb 28, 2011 - 5:19 AM East Lansing, MI (Sports Network) - JaJuan Johnson dominated to the tune of 20 points, 17 rebounds and seven blocks, as No. 8 Purdue earned its first regular-season sweep of Michigan State since 1997 with a 67-47 drubbing of the Spartans at the Breslin Center.
E'Twaun Moore and Lewis Jackson backed Johnson's effort with 17 and 16 points, respectively, as the Boilermakers (24-5, 13-3 Big Ten) continued their torrid stretch run with their sixth straight victory.
Jackson also dished out seven assists.
Kalin Lucas carried the Spartans with 23 points, but the club shot a woeful 33 percent from the floor to end a brief two-game winning streak.
Michigan State (16-12, 8-8) has games left against Iowa and Michigan before the start of the Big Ten Tournament, which the perennial Final Four contender will likely have to win to ensure a bid into the NCAA Tournament.
"We need to move on. But we also need to learn from getting punched in the mouth and not responding," Michigan State head coach Tom Izzo said. "If I wasn't coaching against it, I would really enjoy the physical nature of Purdue's team. Purdue does a good job of walling people in, and are just a solid team, and we need to learn from them."
The Boilermakers handled Michigan State, 86-76, back on January 22 and embarrassed the preseason Big Ten favorite on its home court on Sunday.
Purdue took control midway through the first half, as Ryne Smith and Terone Johnson each hit from long range on consecutive possessions for a 19-11 lead.
JaJuan Johnson made a layup the next time down and added a three-pointer to push the margin to 29-16 with 4:44 to go in the half.
Lucas' 15 points kept the Spartans in striking distance, but the hosts still trailed 33-24 at the break.
Both teams went scoreless in the opening two-plus minutes of the season half, and Michigan State suffered through another cold streak after Draymond Green's layup cut the deficit to 38-31 five minutes in.
Purdue's subsequent 11-2 run extended the lead to 49-33 on Jackson's three- point play at the midway point, and the Boilermakers led by double digits the rest of the way.
"Well in the first half I felt we got off to a pretty good lead, then Kalin Lucas got loose a couple times," Purdue head coach Matt Painter said. "That was my fear of him getting loose and creating for himself and creating for his guys and then getting to the free-throw line...but outside of rebounding, I feel it's most important when you play Michigan State (that) you have to keep them out of transition."
Game Notes
Purdue has won at the Breslin Center in consecutive years following a nine- game skid there...The Boilermakers have won three straight on the road after a four-game losing streak away from West Lafayette...Green pulled down eight rebounds but had just seven points on 3-of-12 shooting for Michigan State.

Funny Face
Ethan is pretty expressive - he is quick to smile, easy to get to laugh, and always makes his feelings known, whether it is wonderment, boredom, unhappiness or amusement. At home that is. When he meets people he is unfamiliar with he turns into Spock. Here are some of his funny faces.

Bob had a conference in Chimelong last weekend and E and I tagged along for the ride. Literally. To get there we took the bus to the MTR to the train to another bus to the hotel. It was a 5 hour process. Ethan loved it of course since he likes riding buses and trains. As soon as we got to our room in the hotel he was asking for another bus ride. =P
Ethan always tests out our bed first thing. He gives it two thumbs up!
There were white tigers lounging around outside our breakfast area.
And also flamingos and these orange birds. Or orange YaYa's as Ethan excitedly exclaimed.
Saying Hi to himself in the window.
The Chimelong Hotel was really nice. There were a lot of restaurant choices, a kids club, outdoor swimming pool and just a lot of space to run around in. They also provide a free shuttle ride (5-10 minutes away) to the Paradise Amusement Park, Xiangjiang Safari Park, Chimelong Circus and Water Park.
Bob had a free afternoon so we went to the Safari Park. Ethan was so excited from all the bus rides that he couldn't nap that day so he was a bit droopy at the zoo.
The white tiger bumped butts with Bob and Ethan!
These gorilla statues were actually trash cans.
Mommy and baby elephant. We didn't, but you could buy some bananas to toss to the elephants to eat.
When Bob and I got married we had a mini theme using bluebirds of happiness. These aren't bluebirds but they are blue birds so close enough.
Highlight of the park! When we went to San Diego I really wanted to go to the Wild Animal Park so that we could feed the giraffes. Bob and I went there a few years ago and I didn't want to fork over the $3 to do the feeding the first time. Lame I know, but we were fresh out of college with debt to pay! So I was excited when we went back to San Diego. Only it turns out when we went last month they had stopped letting the public feed the giraffes the year before. Oops. Well we finally got our chance at this zoo! The diet was a bit different from what I remembered. In San Diego they at giant singular leaves versus these small tree branches here (bark and all).
Completely out of focus, but the giraffes curl their tongues around the branches to lift them to their mouths.
Other highlights from the Safari Park:

Great Job
The other day Ethan did something that warranted a 'Good job' from me.
E: I don't like good job.
Me: Oh okay.
Big pause.
E: Mommy say GREAT job.
Apparently someone decided he needed a bump from the compliments section.

There's this guy who I work with who I call Shay. His real name is Michael Chase, but Shay drives him crazy. Anyways, yesterday he told me that he thinks I like him. What am I supposed to do with that?
1. How did your parents decide on your name?
Well, my dad's name is Jesse and my great-grandmother's name was Sarah Jessie, so I guess that's how.
2. Do your initials (First, Middle, Last) spell out anything fun/funny?
My initials are JDH, so no, not at all.
3. Did you take your middle name from childhood or did you take your maiden name as your middle name? (If unmarried, what do you plan to do?)
I'm not married yet, but I plan on keeping my middle name. I like it a lot.
4. Are you or will you name your children thematically (ie. same first letter, all of same origin…)
Definitely not. Unless I marry someone with a J name. Then maybe.
5. Did you decide on baby names as a little girl? Did you stick to them or change your mind?
I've thought up a lot of names, but I may or may not change my mind depending on who I marry.
6. Does your family have any names that have been passed down through generations?
Yup, my name.
7. Do you look at the meaning of the name or just the name itself?
I like looking at the meanings of the names, but if I like the name and not the meaning, I'll probably still keep the name.
8. Do you name pets with human names (Sally, Henry) or with pet names (Fluffy, Mr. Bo Bo)?
My only pet has been Frank, and if I get another dog, I want a black lab named Joey. I guess that means I use human names.
9. Are there any names that you have an affinity or dislike for based on a childhood experience/someone you once knew?
I'm not a huge fan of names that are the same names of ex boyfriends for obvious reasons.
10. What are some of your favorite names? Why?
I like the name Madeline and Alba for girls. For boys I like William and Lucas.

A new classical music ensemble is making its debut this spring in Chicago and its name, appropriately enough, is Ars Viva--Latin for living art. Alan Heatherington, who last fall resigned as music director of the Chicago String Ensemble after a bitter dispute with the board, is founder and artistic director.
Ars Viva--essentially a chamber symphony that is also equipped to perform choral works--will be made up of Chicago-area musicians, playing a diverse repertory of works in a variety of genres spanning the 18th to 20th Centuries. Planned for the first season are a program of Mozart symphonies and the Midwest premiere of Chicago composer Jon Polifrone's Requiem; concert dates and venues are to be announced.

Hinterkind, Volume 1: The Waking World Review (Ian Edginton, Francesco Trifogli)
Hinterkind is the uneasy spawn of Sweet Tooth and Fables, both Vertigo books that were popular so Ian Edginton decided, why not smoosh them together? … Because you get Hinterkind, that's why!
It's an arbitrary number of years in the future - let's say 300,000, why not? - and humanity has become an endangered species. The Blight, a plague that wiped most of us out, has left the cities of the world ghost towns, the foliage reclaiming the architecture so places like Noo Yawk look like those gorgeous Cambodian temples covered in overgrown jungle.
People have started mutating into animal-type hybrids; there's an elf queen, hundreds of years old, who's ruling a beach somewhere; there's another elf hunter who, together with a cyclops, satyr, and gaggle of goblins, hunt humans to be sold as food; there's another elf, this time a punk, who's also hunting humans because there's no other way of tying her in with the main storyline; and because there isn't enough loud nonsense going on, throw in some patchwork human morlocks who live underground and also do terrible things to humans and finally - vampire sky pirates!!
Too much, guys, way too much. And none of it really meshes either - it feels like Edginton had two or three different stories, stuck them together, and hoped they would sort of work, but they don't. The post-apocalyptic humanity thing works fine by itself but the humans slowly turning into animals thing alongside it is much too similar to Sweet Tooth. Then the mythic creatures appearing feels too much like Fables but mixed in with the Sweet Tooth stuff, it's just a mess!
Where did these fairy tale people come from? Are they the result of the plague? It's implied they've been hiding away for years and only emerged once humanity perished - where were they hiding? Oh, it doesn't matter, I don't really care. And that's the thing: there's a lot of world building going on here but none of it adds up to anything original - it's just not developed very well. It's all stuff cobbled together from other sources that we've seen before.
There's not really a plot. Prosper Monday (terrible name) is the granddaughter of Asa who decides to look for some humans that have gone missing on a hunting expedition or something. They get caught up with the various evil elf people and their associated fairy tale colleagues, and Prosper and Asa are tossed about from one group to another.
Neither characters are that interesting, nor are any of the various factions. Hunters hunting is too simplistic while the elf queen's storyline is the same old dreary power-grab. Nobody is particularly likeable, the art is quite horrible - there are streaks in the colouring that looks awful, plus Prosper and the elf hunter Jon Hobb look very similar so it's sometimes unclear, with the murky art, who we're seeing in a scene. Francesco Trifogli's covers are ok but the interior art is rushed and sketchy.
Hinterkind is just awful. A confused and boring collision of excessive, contrived, bad ideas, terrible characters, and a directionless, stop/start plot with too many strands, none of which engage. Avoid this disaster like the plague in the book - another swing and a miss from Vertigo!

The Leibniz Research Alliance 'Sustainable Food Production and Healthy Nutrition' (abbr. 'Food and Nutrition' LRA FN) bundles the competences of 13 Leibniz research institutes from several disciplines in the field of food production and healthy nutrition. It serves as a partnership structure and aims to stimulate and strengthen interdisciplinary cooperation, and to generate innovative research synergies.
The Leibniz Research Alliance 'Food and Nutrition' considers itself an interdisciplinary research structure facing two societal challenges: the sustainable production of food and the promotion of healthy nutrition. By employing a transfer-oriented scientific approach the Research Alliance places an emphasis on the various interlinkages between these two issues. All Alliance partners have internationally renowned expertise in their respective disciplines and encourage interdisciplinary cooperation to accelerate research progress in the field. The joint development of scientific foundations and highly relevant knowledge in the spectrum of this interdisciplinary issue represents the main objective of the Alliance partners. Further goals are the promotion of enhanced networking between the partner institutes of the Research Alliance, the development and support of mutual research activities, and an effective knowledge transfer aimed at researchers, policy, the general public, and the media. In summary, the immediate objectives of the Research Alliance are
Feed for Life! - Alternatives in the Feeding Sector
18th of January 2018, 3:30 - 5:30 p.m., City Cube Berlin
Language: English with simultaneous translation to German
The panel is organised by the current Research Alliance Project 'Protein Paradoxes' and will take place in the frame of the Global Forum for Food and Agriculture (GFFA). Together with external experts scientists of the Leibniz Research Alliance 'Sustainable Food Production and Healthy Nutrition' discuss chances and possibilities of the global feed production, with focus on sustainably produced protein-rich fodder:
• We propose a new approach to animal feed, making stronger use of alternative protein sources like insects, algae and legumes.
• We will dispute whether it makes sense to use concentrated feed, when free-range animals like grazing ruminants could turn grass into valuable protein, whilst pigs, chickens and fish are predestined to upgrade rest streams.
• We also approach systems like Integrated Multi-Trophic Aquaculture (for seafood and fish) or Aquaponics (for freshwater fish), both attempting to apply circular principles found in nature to farming.
• Finally we will consider whether alternative feed production is able to still humanity's growing hunger for animal-based food and to which extend a sustainable production of animal products can be given.
We are looking for...

On the 19th of January 2017, the Leibniz Research Alliance 'Food and Nutrition' took part in the panel discussion From toilet to table: how wastewater can contribute to food security and was represented by Prof. Dr. Werner Kloas (IGB/LFV). The panel was organized by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO). In cooperation with the Institute for Water, Environment and Health of the United Nations University (UNU-INWEH) and the International Hydrological Programme of UNESCO (UNESCO-IHP), LRA 'Food and Nutrition' tackled the grand challenges concerning water, wastewater and the role of agriculture in this multidimensional puzzle.
In December 2016 the Leibniz Research Alliance 'Food and Nutrition' began the project Protein Paradoxes: Protein supply under the conditions of climate change – production, consumption and human health. The undertaking is funded by the Leibniz Association and investigates possible protein supply strategies for future generations facing climate change, as well as a rapidly growing world population.

Please can you advise me? The fault appeared without apparent reason, and is that when you take a photo, thin horizontal black lines appear, and when you transfer to the PC the lines are still there.

This image is taken from http://spiceitup.etsy.com Pop over to etsy and see the fab images this person has for sale. Loads of them would be ideal for jars, pictures, wallpaper and all sorts of spooky miniatures. They are sold as digital collage sheets, are eamiled to you for printing and can be used over and over again. I see a wall papering scene from quite a lot of these where the witch is decorating. You could make rolls of wallpaper and have some up on the wall, with some being pasted and other rolls waiting etc etc. Well thats my idea anyway. Been thinking this one up for quite some time.
I thought i should welcome all my new followers from the last few weeks. I apologise i'm not too polite welcoming each person. I know on lots of blogs each new person is welcomed with a little info and a link. Sadly i'm a bit dizzy, things slip my mind and before i know it weeks upon weeks have passed.
Anyway, i would like to thank everyone for joining and spending the time to visit me.
I appreciate all your comments and thoughts and the time spent doing so.

Nikki, why couldn't you just take some images from a "doors" image search and superimpose your own witches over them? It seems like it would pretty easy...Just a thought.ReplyDelete
Hi Nikki...ReplyDelete
Those little witches are sooooo cool! I like the door idea..a lot of great doors out there. I went and looked at her site...very neat. Reminds me of some of the images that I created of the EHAG group for their album...I LOVE altering pictures/photos by adding clothing and witch hats... fun fun fun!
You should get into this and you can create your very own wallpaper backgroud for your blog...design it just like you want....Hey...send me a picture of you...either from the waist up or full...as high pixels as you can get... 'BIG' pic prefered... I will make a 'Witch' out of you for your blog....FUN!!!
Hey Nikki...I posted 5 pictures of you over on my blog .... I created '1 witchy look' and put your blog photo in it (with a hat)...let me know if you like them and which one you like best...ReplyDelete
Hi Casey. Yes, i know everyone else thinks such things are easy but i don't have the patience to learn such things. Photoshop was something i could luckily avoid and although my kids are a whiz on it they refuse to teach me because they say its like teaching sommebody without a memory.ReplyDelete
If i spend time trying i'll end up having no time for miniatures. Don't laugh but i dabble over at photo bucket and a few image editing products. I just dont get layers and things like that. I have photoshop and eveything for the kids but i'm at a loss with them.
Hi Jodi. You could not imagine how long it took to get just this one photo. I run away from cameras normally but had my husband take over 200 just to get this one. If the body went in we'd have been doing this for a week.
By the time this one was taken i couldnt stop laughing.
But if you can use this image and turn me into a witch i'd be ever so happy. I can email it to you, but sadly i don't have the original because its been cropped.
Its probably no good but if so then let me know and i will email to you.
I really do run away from cameras and have nothing else from the last 10 years... lol.
Gosh Jodi. Believe me i did try to make a background but it wouldnt work and spent days doing so. I don't think i could ever have the patience to learn.
At college i just sat and cried when such things were mentioened. Mind you i was an older student and everyone else was really young and just clicked away and knew exactly what they were doing.
Mind you, not one of them could draw so had that over them... oh lol.
Make me a witch if you really, really don't mind.
Hi again Jodi.ReplyDelete
I keep refreshing your blog page to see the pics of me but it wont show the new post.
I'll try again in another 5 mins and once i see them will leave a comment for you.
My friend Debbie told me she also has the same problem with blogpsot not updating as fast as it should and i've noticed this myself.
Desperate to see them so hurry up blogspot and make it happen.... grrrrrrrrrrrr.
Back in a while... need a coffee.

Medicine in the United States is a complicated beast, mainly because of the differences in experience between professionals and patients. Not only that, but different professionals have different experiences within the context of working in medicine. (i.e. Nurses compared to practicing M.D.'s) That being said, I've decided to write this blog about medicine from the patient's perspective.
When you enter a hospital, say for a "routine appointment," you can never be sure you know what's going to happen. Also, having "routine appointments" assumes a great many things: you have health insurance or are substantially well off financially, you have a regular doctor to see that you like enough or trust enough to keep seeing, that you understand the potential consequences of not engaging in preventative medical care, ad infinitum. So with these things in mind, let's continue.
You've entered the hospital, and you're heading up to wherever your doctor's office is. There are sick people all over the place (which is appropriate given where you are) and medical pro's running around. Your heart rate starts creeping up, just with the almost palpable adrenaline levels creeping through the halls. You get to where you're going, and a receptionist more often than not says something like, "hi, welcome! Please sign in and we'll get to you as soon as we can." Most of the time, these folks are either professional receptionists, or nurses which kinda ticks me off because nurses have a ton of stuff to do already, but that's another post. You take a seat alongside the other waiting folks, and sometimes there are some sickies, sometimes you're practically alone. Depending on what kind of facility you're in, this could be consistent one way or the other.
Sometimes almost immediately you are called back, sometimes it takes an hour or less. The first nurse who leads you back into the shiny and band-aid scented exam area has you step on a scale emotionlessly, reads off your blood pressure, asks some general questions including, "why are you visiting us today?" Like 'visiting' really does it justice, but it can be comforting. You answer as best you can, and after a few minutes the nurse asks you to wait for the doc. This waiting period is terrible. You never know if the nurse is quickly meeting with said doc about how much you suck given your weight, blood pressure and habits you've briefly discussed with him/her, and whether they're planning to bust into the room shouting, "what the hell is wrong with you! You're gonna die!" Or perhaps the doctor is just finishing up with the two patients who went in before you did. Who knows, it's a mystery for the ages. There are only so many times you can re-read the "how to recognize suicide in yourself and your friends" pamphlet. Just saying, maybe some reading material in the treatment rooms?
The doc comes into the room. Usually they have an agenda based on their previous visit notes, and your current "situation," you know, the weight/bp/lifestyle stuff the nurse got outta you. The going assumption seems to be that docs don't care, but they have to have a game plan if they're going to get you to keep yourself alive, let alone get through the appointments and walk-ins they've had and will have during the day. The conversation is sometimes give-and-take, sometimes lecture (better take notes), and sometimes a mix of those two plus a visit from someone else on the team, say a dietician, or social worker. Then you're out, with a few pamphlets and some homework.
There are different places that do this in ways that feel better or worse than others. Some places are purely overloaded, and some places have a lot of money with which to actually hire enough medical and pro-staff. The differences can be striking. I've always been privileged to be able to find endocrinologist offices that actually serve as my primary source of medical care. I say this because when you're working full time and sometimes also part time, go to school and have a semblance of a life, there aren't enough hours in a business day to see more than one medical team. That's reality. It's also a very privileged and lucky reality and I know it. Here's where we find some disconnect: patient responsibility vs. medical responsibility.
Patients, we gotta do our part. There is no "wellness pill." There is no magical potion, no quick fix, no seemingly easy answer. You want that, go see an expensive and ultimately fucked up practioner of elective cosmetic surgical procedures. Not only will you be able to pay someone to look a certain way (assuming you have a ton of cash to burn), but you also will still die unhealthy. Good luck. We as patients have to do everything we can to keep ourselves together. It's a long process, and it's worth it as nurseXY is finding out and with good reason. (Keep up the good work bro.) And, the more you do for yourself, the better this doctor/nurse/patient relationship will be. Ask questions, no matter if you feel stupid. Get the information. Medical pro's can't know what you need unless you tell them, and it's impossible to always find the most important stuff online. Again, quick fixes can backfire big-time.
However, to all the medical pro's: we aren't all idiots. Some of us are, and I can't speak for them. They're jackasses, and they're suffering even as they suck. But some of us do care, not just about ourselves but about other people. Know that the intimidation we feel when our medical pro asks us, "any questions?" is real. We don't want to look stupid, even though you probably will be more than willing to either answer, tell us where to get the answer or have someone on the team help us. But it's not easy for many of us to feel comfortable. You're behind an opaque wall of mystery, and this means we're not always going to be willing to not only ask, but demand we be treated with respect and understanding.
This two-way street is remarkable in that there are so many twists, turns, and misunderstanding abound. And with medical care reform being not only futuristic, but incompatible with medicine as a business, we're in a perpetual state of denial about what our huge system really needs in order to function at a level that means we're successful on a broad scale.
The next installment will be 'the patients' perspective in a capitalistic medical market.' Hope y'all enjoy, or start talking.

text: Headlines Adam Ottavino gets candid about his recent command struggles By Drew Creasman Posted on May 17, 2017 [get_snippet] [theme-my-login show_title=0] Share Tweet Email Print DENVER - For Colorado Rockies relief pitcher Adam Ottavino, 2017 has been the best of times and the worst of times. After the club acquired Greg Holland this offseason, it became pretty clear that eventually, Ottavino would move into a set-up man role. The job description is pretty simple: Bridge the gap to the closer and keep the lead (or sometimes tie) intact going into the final frame of the game. Ottavino has been the very best in all of baseball in this regard, leading MLB with 12 holds. So why did he tell BSN Denver that he is currently in the midst of one of this toughest stretches of pitching since entering the bullpen? Walks. Ottavino said after his most recent home outing against the Dodgers -- where he gave up two hits, two runs, and a walk -- it has been a long time since he struggled with his command like this. "Not as a relief pitcher. As a starter, yeah," he says. "I had some command problems earlier in my career. It's just been a weird thing, I started off wild and then I righted the ship for a couple weeks. Felt like I was throwing the ball really well then I don't know. The last couple just got away from me a little bit. Today I was able to get ahead of pretty much everybody but wasn't able to put anybody away. It's a little bit of one thing or the other thing right now. We still won so that's the big thing." On the flip side, Otto's signature fastball/slider combination remain incredibly difficult to square up. While he would certainly prefer a lower number, the 3.38 ERA shows both an ability to work out of trouble and the strength of the bullpen that has been able to pick him up at times. "Yeah I think my stuff is fine," he says. "Every game is different but today's game it felt like they did a good job against me, really. I didn't get [Enrique] Hernandez to swing at a pretty good breaking ball that I typically get. It's kind of been a theme, taking close pitches and hitting the ones in the zone. Puig, too. I thought I threw him a decent 3-2 pitch. He was all over it. Just fighting right now, just fighting hard. Obviously, the walks are brutal. Haven't experienced this before." Manager Bud Black says he thinks the veteran righty is close. He says he has seen "flashes" of the old dominant, nearly unhittable Ottavino. "I think the first-hitter walk has happened," Black continued. "Otto self-admittedly -- which I appreciate the tremendous self-evaluation of the base on balls -- but I think if you string together his whole season you can see a little bit of the variables and that's why over the long haul he's going to be productive more so than not." Black pointed to games in Milwaukee and Arizona as examples of what he meant -- the first of which saw Ottavino strike out the side after walking a pair, and the second saw him pitch two innings for the first time sine 2014 in a game that the Rockies won in extra innings. "He's been fine. But if you were to nitpick on one thing, it would be the initial batter and a few of the base on balls." And they are both right, it really hasn't cost the team. The one game in which he did blow a save, the Rockies still one the game in extra innings. There is the chance Otto rights the ship before it ever got that far off course. Tuesday night in Minnesota he pitched his first perfect inning since April 30 in Arizona. "I feel like, luckily I haven't blown anything yet, haven't taken any losses or anything. Guys have done a good job around me. I know that my best pitching is ahead of me this year. I still got four and a half months to be who I wanna be out there. It's up to me to do it and that's it."

Re: what do you think...do i need NBNG templates?
I think your boutiques are very, very close. Which method are you using?
When you're looking at your boutique, ideally you want the backs of the loops horizontal, and the fronts of the loops to make a very, very vertical x. I mean, as NARROW as you can get it. If you use the
method with the pin in the center
(That is my fave) then use two alligator clips to keep the backs horizontal & rotate the fronts more vertically to get that super narrow X, then stitch & tie off.
I stick the pin in the armrest of my couch & do these while watching movies on the weekend, but you could also stick the pin in an eraser.
They are beautiful bows, even if they aren't perfectly twisted. IMO, someone who didn't make bows wouldn't know they weren't ideal.

They've been on the Kenyan music scene for just over 3 years now but only recently caught our ears with their track called 'All In' - its a collaborative work with Ghana MC M.Anifest and the video featured here was shot entirely in Nairobi's Kibera slum.
We hope these cross-continental collabs continue and are excited to hear more from Africa's east coast!

A Year in Reflection
I would like to thank each of you for taking action and stepping out of your comfort zone. Please do not stop now. Continue to push yourself. You will find it will only make you stronger both personally and professionally.
This has truly been a monumental year for the STN and I believe we are at a pivotal point in our organization. Not only do we now have a national certification specifically for the trauma nurse, but we have been able to align our organization with many outstanding national organizations and played an integral role in not only addressing but progressing many of the trauma issues we all face.
Many of you have volunteered to participate in the American College of Surgeons (ACS)–STN collaboration, our EAST collaboration programs, national lobby day with TCAA, or our collaboration with ATS and AAST. Just to name a few! Many new doors have been opened, creating many new and exciting opportunities for the STN and its members, such as being invited to not only collaborate with ACS but to serve as liaisons or co-liaisons of many of their committees, and being asked to participate in the Prehospital Consortium and having the honor to go to the White House to be part of the "Stop The Bleed" initiative.
Last but not least, I want to take a moment to thank each and every one of you for believing in me. Your continued support has meant more than you realize. In addition, I thank the Board of Directors for their hard work, dedication, and continued support of this wonderful organization. It has truly been an honor and privilege to serve as your president.
