Spring Real Estate
EmptyMonths before Sandra Bullock adopted a baby boy from New Orleans in January, naming him Louis in honor of native icon Louis Armstrong -- and even more months before domestic woes boosted her desire to relocate -- she had already set up house in his hometown.
In June, the Oscar-winning actress laid down $2.25 million in cash for an ornate 6,615-square-foot mansion in the city's Garden District. Built in 1876, it was designed by renowned New Orleans architect William Alfred Freret for James Biddle Eustis, who served as a U.S. senator and ambassador to France.
Almost as impressive as its historic pedigree are the neighbors, who include Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie and John Goodman, now shooting HBO's "Treme" there. Nicolas Cage also owned two nearby homes until November, when they were sold in a foreclosure auction.
Five hours to the north in Shreveport, there has also been an influx of celebrity residents, including Jennifer Garner, Ben Affleck and Kevin Costner, all of whom have rented homes there in recent years.
"Samuel L. Jackson stayed in Shreveport for months," says Roger DeKay, a commercial Realtor based in Shreveport. "He lived on a golf course. He'd get up and play in the morning and people would just say hello. It was no big deal."
The stars may be drawn in by Louisiana's easygoing Southern hospitality, the spicy food, hot jazz and wild nightlife borne of its one-of-a-kind mix of French, Spanish and African cultures, or by a desire to show solidarity with the victims of Hurricane Katrina, but it's usually work that brings them there in the first place. Since Louisiana enacted a generous film and TV production incentive program in 2002, scores of industryites have been coming to Louisiana to shoot film and TV projects, and many have decided to make it their first or second home.
This five-bedroom New Orleans home is on the market for $1.39 million
Producer Michael P. Flannigan was in the middle of shooting a string of six pictures for Millennium Films in Shreveport the late '00s when he decided it was time to invest in a pied-a-terre.
"I figured I could take the living allowance they gave me and sink it into a hotel or rent an apartment," Flannigan says, "but I decided to put it into a mortgage because of what you can get for the money."
Flannigan bought a 2,500-square-foot townhouse with two bedrooms and two and a half baths in Dudley Square, a gated community in Shreveport's South Highland Historic District. He won't reveal the price tag, but quips, "You couldn't buy a garage in Los Angeles for what I paid."
The price gap between Los Angeles and Louisiana has narrowed in recent years, but it remains significant. According to the National Association of Realtors, the median price for a single-family home in the Shreveport-Bossier City area was $147,000 in 2009, up from $135,600 in 2007, while in New Orleans it has hovered just above $160,000 during the same period. By contrast, the median price in Los Angeles was $333,900 in 2009, down from $593,000 in 2007.
"Typically, in the Shreveport market, new construction runs anywhere from $125-$150 a foot, and you can buy existing construction for $100 a foot," says Michael Long, a Shreveport Realtor and city councilman. "I'm talking 2,000- to 3,000-square-foot houses for anywhere from $180,000 to $300,000-$400,000 that are nice properties in good neighborhoods with stable residents. If you're inclined to live more in the country, you can find acreage with a decent house on it and be in hog heaven with your horses and your cows or whatever. A lot of the Hollywood folks, especially the guys in the trades who don't mind picking up a hammer and doing some renovation work, are finding great values. You can literally buy a 3,000- or 4,000-square-foot house for $60-$70 a foot, put a little bit of money in there, and you're fine."
Flannigan liked the prices so much, he bought three additional condos near his Dudley Square townhouse as rental properties. And since he's been traipsing around the world in recent months, from the Republic of Georgia to Finland, working on films with director Renny Harlin, he's now renting out his personal Shreveport residence as well.
"Producers and actors have stayed there," he says. For the three other condos, "we like to get the longer-term people in there, like accountants and production designers."
While Flannigan rents his properties via word-of-mouth in the film community, real estate agent Shannon Smith is working to formalize the process with her new boutique firm Blackstone Smith Properties in Baton Rouge, created specifically to find short-term housing for visiting film professionals. Rental prices range from $2,000 per month for well-appointed condos to $10,000 for large houses for above-the-line talent. Since launching her business this year, she's already worked on such films as "The Ledge," starring Patrick Wilson and Terrence Howard, and "The Big Valley," starring Richard Dreyfuss.
While many of the film and TV people setting up house in Louisiana are essentially high-profile migrant workers, others, like unit production manager Todd Lewis and his wife, costume designer Claire Breaux, have put down solid roots.
When the couple began their Louisiana home search in 2008, they were living in a rented 1,200-square-foot condominium in Santa Monica. Equivalent properties for sale in the area were priced at anywhere from $750,000-$1 million, while in New Orleans six- and seven-bedroom homes were well within their price range.
Richie Adams' 2,300-square-foot Baton Rouge home cost less than his 1,000-square-foot condo in L.A.
In the end, Lewis and Breaux looked at a total of 67 places in New Orleans. They saw the last one the Sunday after wrapping work on "The Final Destination" in July 2008: a two-story, 3,000-square-foot, Colonial-style house in Uptown New Orleans with three bedrooms and two and a half baths. Built in 1910, the house had been renovated in the 1990s with granite countertops and an addition in the back which included a rear stairwell, laundry room and large master bathroom. They toured the property, then boarded a plane to Los Angeles. The next day, Breaux flew back and put in an offer, and the seller accepted.
Mindful of the fact that they were buying a home in a hurricane zone, Lewis and Breaux made it a point to look at homes during bad weather.
"How a house has been prepared for any future storms is a big consideration," Lewis says. "For instance, our backyard definitely holds water, so we plan to build up our yard and put in an irrigation system so it drains better toward the street. But our house didn't flood; it wasn't damaged by Katrina."
That's because Uptown New Orleans is in a flood-resistant area of the city known as "the sliver by the river," which also includes all or part of other neighborhoods including Bywater, Faubourg Marigny, the French Quarter, the Warehouse District, the Garden District and Carrollton.
"The areas closest to the river are usually the highest in elevation, and that's why they survived and did real well, so therefore everybody wants to live there now," Long says.
Unfortunately, most of New Orleans is 3 to 8 feet below the Mississippi River and Lake Pontchartrain, and when Hurricane Katrina hit in late August 2005, about 80% of the city -- some 144 square miles -- was flooded, destroying 204,737 homes. The city still has 61,000 blighted or abandoned properties, far more than any other U.S. city. At the same time, it has only 300,000 inhabitants, down from 485,000, pre-Katrina.
In the wake of Katrina and Hurricane Rita, which hit less than a month later, many residents fled to Shreveport or the state capital, Baton Rouge, 80 miles to the northwest.
"People came in and bought whole subdivisions," says Baton Rouge Realtor Pat Meyer. "It was bizarre. Prices rose about 10%-15%. Now that has leveled off, and prices have come back down to pre-Katrina levels."
The post-Katrina influx meant title designer Richie Adams' move from Los Angeles to Baton Rouge in October 2005 was more expensive than it would have been just two months earlier, but, he says, "the 1,000-square-foot condo I had in Brentwood at Sunset Boulevard and Barrington still cost more than the 2,300-square-foot house I bought on historic LSU Avenue," built in the 1930s.
Numerous film projects were also forced to flee New Orleans or abandon plans to shoot in the city -- including "Premonition," starring Bullock, and "The Guardian," starring Costner, both of which went to Shreveport -- effectively turning Shreveport and Baton Rouge into major production hubs overnight.
The producers of "The Guardian" called DeKay from Shreveport Airport after escaping the storm.
"They literally left New Orleans with the clothes on their backs and the flip-flops on their feet," DeKay says. "They said, 'We need somebody who can find us 10,000 square feet of office, a 60,000-foot warehouse and a place to put this wave pool, which is 80 by 100 feet, and we need it now.' "
DeKay dropped everything and found them what they needed, including a site for the wave pool, which now operates as the Louisiana Wave Studio. In the years since, he's continued to help visiting productions find office and warehouse space.
"Nothing has changed," DeKay says. "They always need it immediately."
Katrina was an even larger life-changing force for Amy Mitchell Smith, who came to Louisiana from New York in 2005 to help spearhead efforts for the relief organization FilmAid International and wound up with a new job, a new husband and a home in Baton Rouge's Garden District.
"I went from having an apartment in the West Village that was 450 square feet to this incredible old home that is 3,000 square feet with a back house," says Mitchell-Smith, who previously worked in sales and acquisitions for Miramax and is now executive director of the Baton Rouge Film Commission.

The couple closed on the house two weeks before they married in March 2007 and moved in after returning from a honeymoon in Brazil, then settled down to work on some major renovations, including replacing the vintage knobs and tube electrical wiring.
"Fortunately, my husband Aaron is a residential contractor with a specialty in historic restoration and renovation," Mitchell-Smith says.
Stylistically, Mitchell-Smith describes it as "the type of house Joan Didion would live in if she were in Louisiana. It's got a bit of an Arts & Crafts feel to it, but it's a traditional American home that you would have seen built in the '30s."
While Arts & Crafts (aka Craftsman) homes can be found throughout the U.S., Louisiana boasts several architectural styles that sprang from its own uniquely rich cultural heritage, including Acadian, Creole Cottage and Creole Townhouse. It also has a large selection of stately Antebellum homes common to the American South. Newer developments often work in elements of these vintage styles, such as Greek columns or dormer windows that protrude from roofs.
Historic homes come with their own unique stories, and when the home in question is in New Orleans, the tales are often downright outre. Art director Chris Spellman owns a house in the French Quarter, built in 1840, where people once taught the art of dueling. In fact, from about 1830 to 1860, more than 50 maitres d'armes operated fencing academies in his neighborhood, known as Exchange Alley. Cage's former home at 1140 Royal St. in the French Quarter once belonged to Madame LaLaurie, a socialite who according to popular -- and in all likelihood apocryphal -- legend tortured, mutilated and killed 100 slaves there in the 1830s.
Slavery was horrific enough without mutilations, and its remnants are visible in many New Orleans properties from the 19th century. Typically, there would be a main house made of brick with a courtyard behind it, on the other side of which would be a wooden structure housing a kitchen on the first floor and "servants' " quarters on the second.
"Now everyone finds euphemisms for them, except for black people who call them slave quarters, because they know what they are and I guess they're not in the mood to forget," says Susan Hoffman, who along with her husband, veteran executive Peter Hoffman, splits her time between homes in New Orleans and Los Angeles. "You also see townhouses where they have two floors, then space above it with five or 6-foot ceilings where the servants would sleep."
The Hoffmans bought their historic townhouse at 900 Royal St. in the French Quarter as a second home in 1992, and over the ensuing years acquired the adjacent properties at 906 and 910 Royal St. and poured money into their restoration. All three buildings were commissioned by Mme. Aimee Miltenberger for her sons and completed in 1836. Today, the bottom floors house shops and galleries, while the carriage house across the courtyard from 910 has been transformed into a restaurant named Cafe Amelie.
The Hoffmans reside on the upper floors of 900 and rent out portions of the other buildings as apartments. When Mardi Gras comes in February or March, they have prime balcony seats to view the action.
"A lot of (residents) leave, because they're sick of Mardi Gras, but I give a party almost every year," Hoffman says. "A lot of people think I'm nuts to do it, but I open up the house and it's really fun."
Over in Uptown New Orleans, Lewis and Breaux are more likely to be found relaxing on their front porch swing, looking up at the big oak tree in their front yard, than whooping it up in the Quarter. But if they want to check out the blues clubs on Bourbon Street, "we could be there in 10 minutes," Lewis says. "Here, you can pretty much be everywhere in 20 minutes."
If there's a major drawback to living in Louisiana, it's the weather, particularly the summer humidity.
"By the time it gets to August, it's sweltering outside," Lewis says. "You just walk outside and it hits you like a brick wall. But right now is a wonderful time to be here."

It finally happened. Two NHL squads played a full 60 minutes, scored 16 goals and didn't get whistled for a single penalty.
Not one.
The penalty box looked like the Rose Bowl on Jan. 2.
OK, so it was the league's All-Star game, a time when the offense shines, the defense disappears and the only checks are those written by the ticket buyers.
Admittedly, it's a lot different when there is nothing at stake. It's easy for a defenseman to let a guy skate by untouched, puck on his stick, when he is not taking the defenseman's hopes of a Stanley Cup with him.
Nor is anyone advocating boarding up the penalty boxes and turning hockey into a noncontact sport. Frankly, Saturday's All-Star game at the Spectrum in Philadelphia was boring at times because it was devoid of the tension and excitement created by a hard-hitting game.

Mathematics to Sculpture
George Hart presented and discussed examples of his mathematically informed sculptures, which generally apply computer technology in their design and/or fabrication. These include works made of metal, wood, plastic, or found objects, and often use laser-cutting, plasma-cutting or 3D-printing technologies in their realization. Mathematical and computer science aspects of these designs and their underlying foundations will be discussed. A few short videos were shown. See georgehart.com for examples and more information.
During presentation one participant heard, "Being good at math isn't about knowing all the answers. It's about what you do when you DON'T know the answers."

'Tongan Thor' racks up incredible stats after pulling off sensational no look pass
Just a week after representing the Barbarians against the Wallabies, Taniela 'Tongan Thor' Tupou played a huge role in Queensland Country defeating Fijian Drua 57-21 in Australia's National Rugby Championship. Here is a look at his impressive contribution.
Queensland Country booked their spot in the NRC grand final due to a standout performance from tighthead Tupou, who rose to prominence in recent years due to footage of his barnstorming runs going viral when he was still at school.
Still just 21, the man affectionately known as Tongan Thor recently added to his list of growing accolades after he picked up a Barbarians cap against his adopted country. He was the one who went over for that disallowed try from the brilliant ball up the jumper trick play last weekend.
The 130kg Tupou started against the Fijian Drua in sensational fashion, busting the line off a set piece move before throwing a no-look over the shoulder pass to number eight Caleb Timu.
He wasn't done there though, as they worked a neat lineout move that allowed him to charge over, and then later in the game his strong carry up midfield gave his side the impetus to score a nice try down the left flank. He then scored a more traditional pushover try from a few meters out.
Post game the Man of the Match was anything but how he appears on the field, coming across completely humble and almost looking embarassed by what he had performed, playing down that no-look pass by calling it 'a fluke'.
Tupou says that he has improved in the areas he lacked in the past, particularly up front.
"At school level I used to just run the ball. I couldn't scrum, I couldn't do anything but at this level if you can't scrum, you won't get picked. As a front rower that's what you need to do - running is a bonus but the scrum is beginning of it all. Now that I have learned how to scrum and I've learned how to work around the park I'm enjoying my footy," he said.
"I have to show Thorny [coach Brad Thorn] that I can do it at the NRC level and if I can show him that I can do it at NRC level hopefully he will give me the first crack at the Reds next year. I want to be the best in the world but I know I have a long way to go and I know I have to work hard for it."
As for the Wallabies, the Tongan born powerhouse is staying level headed.
"I've always wanted to wear the gold jersey so whatever it takes for me to do it, I'll do it. I wouldn't move here for no reason. Even if I don't get to play this year, next year - I'm only 21 - I know I have plenty of work to do and plenty of rugby ahead of me."
With match stats of 17 runs, 10 tackle busts, four line breaks, one try assist, 124 meters carried, and two tries, you can be sure that Tupou is set to be a prominent figure when Queensland Country take on the Canberra Vikings in next weekend's NRC grand final.
Below is a look at some of his best bits, with full match highlights under that

The Outside In House
The 2017 Pantone Color of the Year, Greenery, was inspired by a world seeking natural experiences, calmness and a hopeful attitude. Airbnb caught onto this idea and partnered with Pantone to build the 'Outside In' house – a home in London that brings the color Greenery to life.
This home has a floor plan far different than the typical walk-up. It includes a woodland reception, an indoor greenhouse that doubles as a dining room, a garden bedroom with mown lawn, topiaries and soporific plants, a tented nook for children to sleep in and an herb garden in the kitchen. Guests staying in the home will hear the sounds of nature throughout and can forage from the walls (literally) for vegetables and herbs. Other activities include drinking tea with leaves picked from a hydroponics installation and choosing plants to make terrarium vases.
As guests enter, they will be greeted by the house "groundskeeper" with green juice made locally and color-matched to Greenery. They can also rest assured that the house is of course environmentally green too; all materials will be recycled where possible, and spare plants will be donated to community gardens.
"As Greenery is a warm and zesty yellow-green shade that speaks to our desire to disconnect, replenish and energize, it seemed a natural extension for us to partner with Airbnb for the very first time to bring the Pantone Color of the Year 2017 to life," said Laurie Pressman, vice president of the Pantone Color Institute. "The holistic view of travel and community – on promoting a feeling of connecting to nature and each other no matter where we go – speaks to the spirit of Greenery and has changed the way we explore and experience cities internationally."
The 'Outside In' house is at 4 Dingley Place, Clerkenwell. To book an overnight stay, visit https://www.airbnb.co.uk/rooms/16908431. All proceeds from the overnight stay will be donated to the American Institute of Graphic Arts.

Great Advice On How To Invest Your Money In The Stock Market
The stock market is not as complex as you think. If you take a few weeks to learn more about investing and get the right tools to assist you, you could become a trader yourself. Keep reading to find out more about the stock market and how you could be making money.
Before going to a broker, you should do some background research to make sure you can trust them with your money. A thorough background investigation will lessen the chances of you falling prey to someone who will defraud you.
Keep in mind that investing should not be treated lightly. Banks treat stock market investing seriously and so should you. Even though one may first think of the stock market as gambling, it is more serious than that. Take the time to understand thoroughly everything about the companies that you are investing.
Stocks are more than paper used for trading. Stock ownership means that you're a part of the company's ownership as well. This can also entitle you to assets and earnings, depending on the debts of the company. In some cases, you can even vote in major elections regarding corporate leadership.
Many people who are just starting with stock market investments purchase mutual funds. Mutual funds are usually low risk investments due to their diversification. The beauty of mutual funds is that you obtain a nice range of stocks, and you have a professional who is conducting all the research on the different companies in your investment portfolio.
Remember that individual stocks do not necessarily represent the entire market. A decent stock may soar while the overall market tanks, while a bad stock may plunge in value when the rest of the market is thriving. This is why it's a good idea to diversify the types of stock you own, choosing stocks from a variety of companies in many different industries.
Create your own index fund. Choose an index you would like to track, like the NASDAQ or Dow Jones. Buy the individual stocks that are on that index on your own, and you can get the dividends and results of an index mutual fund without paying someone else to manage it. Just be sure to keep your stock list up to date to match the index you track.
If you are saving for retirement, keep in mind that your portfolio mix will adjust over time. It is recommended that young savers start with 80% of their portfolio in aggressive stocks and then, move one percentage point a year into more conservative assets, as these savers get older. This gradually shifts the portfolio towards safety, while still leaving plenty of room for growth and compounding.
Rebalance your portfolio quarterly. If you started with an 80/20 mix of stocks and bonds, the stocks will likely outpace the bonds, leaving you 90/10. Rebalance to 80/20 so that you can reinvest your stock earnings into bonds. This way you keep more of your earnings over the long run. Also rebalance among stock sectors, so that growing sectors can fuel buying opportunities in bear cycle industries.
Practice makes perfect, and means you can start real trading with good habits free of errors. Find any service that offers a free practice platform or account. A simple starting method is setting stop-loss dollar amounts to weed out dropping stocks. This sample portfolio should only leave you the growing winners that are trending upwards.
As you can see, finding the best investments is a matter of education. If you take the time to learn as much as you can about the stock market and stay up to date with the trends, you will make the right investments. Apply the tips you have just read and remember, practice makes perfect.

The CTD2 initiative seeks novel insights into cancer etiology that can be developed and in the future applied to improve therapeutic strategies. To achieve this goal, each center utilizes a distinct array of advanced computational and functional systems biology approaches. These methods allow reconstruction of cell-context specific gene networks that underlie each cancer subtype. The CTD2 Centers gain power from having both complementary and reinforcing expertise. Highlighted below are a few of the methodologies used by CTD2 members:
- Bioinformatics – Computational analysis is applied to large genomic datasets to make predictions and hypotheses about biologically relevant phenotypes that can be tested experimentally.
- Chemical genetics –Small-molecules are used to probe biological pathways and discover possible therapeutic targets. This approach may also yield small-molecule compounds with therapeutic potential. Small-molecules perturb cellular pathways in real time, providing experimental data that cannot be gathered from traditional genetics means.
- Genome-wide gain-of-function – Gain-of-function technologies, including cDNA expression libraries and CRISPRa, are useful for identifying oncogenes and/or genes whose overexpression either initiates or suppresses cancerous transformation.
- Genome-wide loss-of-function – Loss-of-function experimental approaches, including RNAi and CRISPR/cas9 or CRISPRi, are used to find genes upon which tumors are dependent for survival.
- Protein-protein interactions – Perturbation of protein networks is used to map critical cellular pathways and helps inform therapeutic strategies.
- In vivo gain- and loss-of-function models – Expansion of cell culture findings into animal models is important for determining which genes and genetic alterations are relevant in an organism.
Data generated by CTD2 Network members can be found on the CTD2 Data Portal.Opens in a New Tab

I have been a jewelry artist for almost 50 years. The word "artist" appeals to me instead of "craftsman" because I strive to "DESIGN" a piece of jewelry, not just string beads or set stones. I strive to create a wearable piece of jewelry that embodies a sense of harmony in color, style and tone and thrive on the challenge to create a necklace where all of the various parts compliment one another. It is also important to me that a necklace or pendant hangs nicely when worn. In addition, I hand-make some of the beads, cut some of the stones and also incorporate antique pieces into some of the necklaces. While my first jewelry-making experiences were in the 60's, I returned to college to study metalsmithing and graduated from Colorado State University in 1980 with a B.F.A (smithing concentration) degree. I had a shop in Estes Park, Colorado for four years, taught metal-smithing to young people at the Toledo Museum of Art for eight years, and recently retired from the WCSD after teaching art for 35 years. Excited to once again have personal time, I joined the Reno Gem and Mineral Society and am using my new found freedom to further explore artistic challenges!

text: Rating: 5 Star As the mom of a stubborn 2 year old, I can say honestly and from experience that potty training is not always easy. In fact, it is one of the biggest headaches I have ever experienced. My daughter is very intelligent and very set in her ways for a 2 year old, so when it comes time to change a diaper, it's always a hassle because she knows she is wet and just can't sit still long enough to let me change her. She'd go naked if it was her choice, but after dealing with diapers that would soak through, a wet bed in the morning and diaper rash, I decided it was time to start working on potty training. She didn't take to it too well at first, even though I got her cute 'big girl' undies, and still continued to wear diapers to avoid accidents. My daughter did show an interest in becoming potty trained, as she would ask to use the potty from time to time, but not often enough. After trying everything I could think of, I decided to check out StartPottyTraining.com. I had heard about it from my aunt, who works with toddlers on a daily basis, and I figured I had nothing to lose. I have to say, Carol Cline deserves a round of applause. After watching the video on her website about how to go about potty training a girl, I found new hope and motivation that I would be able to get my daughter trained. She was very down to earth and eve shared stories about her daughter, Emily, getting potty trained. She also mentioned how her daughter ruined a pair of $350 pants when she had an accident that she then wound up purchasing. I've been in similar situations, so the fact that I could relate made Carol seem like someone I could trust, because we've gone through the same things. I'm usually really hesitant about buying these how-to books online, but I decided to give it a try, because my daughter and I would soon be going on vacation, and Carol guaranteed that within three days, any child could be potty trained. When I got the book, I immediately tried out the methods that she mentioned, and the first day, only had three small accidents with my daughter. One of the accidents was because she was so excited to actually use her potty that she peed her pants a little bit, but still finished peeing on the potty. The second day, we were down to one accident and the big girl undies were staying dry! Finally, on the third day, my daughter had no accidents, and instead, we celebrated her victory with some ice cream. Now when she knows she has to go potty, she runs towards the bathroom and shouts, "Mommy, come on". I can honestly say, as someone that was beyond frustrated with potty training, StartPottyTraining.com and Carol Cline made my experience with potty training so easy and a lot less stressful. My daughter has not had an accident and is so proud of her accomplishment, as am I. In fact, I cried a few proud mommy tears the third day when she had no accidents. If you've tried everything and you need help getting your little one trained quickly, get this book, video or eBook. It makes such a difference!

It's important to stay vigilant when it comes to online security. After the recent WannaCry attacks, which targeted Windows 8 and other older versions of the popular operating system, the world has been refreshed and reminded on the importance of safeguarding your online activities and devices.
Here are some tips for staying safe:
- If you're still running Windows XP, 8, or the recently support-expired Vista OS, buy Windows 10 software. If you can afford it, even better is buying a brand new computer. Even a low-end modern PC will leave your XP machine in the dust. To avoid being targeted by another WannaCry-like attack, download the patches that Microsoft has made available for older versions of Windows XP: SPTx64, SP3x8, XP Embedded SP3x86, and other iterations.
- Turn on the Windows Update auto-patching feature on your Windows 10 computer. Sure, it may be annoying when those updates would rudely take over a computer as soon as a user signed on, disabling the machine for five to 10 minutes. After the Windows Creators update, this is no longer the case. Stay updated!
- Backing up to a physical drive is a good idea, but ransomware has a long reach and can lock up backup devices. it's a good idea to disconnect the hard drive as soon as you're done with a data transfer. Cloud backup is also useful, and serves as another location for your important data.
- Ensure that your web browser and plug-ins/extensions are always up to date. This helps to stay ahead of malware that is transmitted to your PC through dangerous and malicious sites.
- Invest in an antivirus solution. If your antivirus software is on the older side, it might not provide dedicated protecion against ransomware. To plug this hole, install a dedicated, free utility which can be found online.
- For goodness' sake, don't click on weird/suspicious emails! If the sender's name is familiar but looks a bit off, or has a spelling error, it's likely a phishing scam. If in doubt, ask a friend or family member - someone else will be able to help you identify what is safe and what is not.

The following conditions normally increase vaginal discharge:
► Emotional stress
► Ovulation: Ovulation is the release of egg from the ovary that occurs in the middle of the menstrual cycle, usually on the 14th day for a 28 days long cycle.
► Pregnancy
► Sexual arousal
However, not all vaginal discharge is normal.
A sudden change in colour, consistency, odour, or a marked increase or decrease in the amount of vaginal discharge may be abnormal.
The doctor takes a detailed medical history of your symptoms. He may ask you a number of questions like: When did it start? What was the colour? Did it have an abnormal smell? Did you douche? Did you have itching, pain or burning sensations? Did you have any medications recently? Did you have sex with more than one sexual partner?
A sample of the discharge is usually taken for detailed examination. A Pap test is also done; cells are collected from the cervix (This is a very vital examination that can help in the diagnosis of a cancer).
Treatment is based on the underlying cause of abnormal discharge. A bacterial infection requires antibiotic agents. Drugs like metronidazole or tinidazole are usually used to treat trichomonas infection. Antifungal medications are available as pills, creams or gel forms.
Causes for Abnormal Vaginal Discharge
The causes of abnormal vaginal discharge are listed below:
Infection of the vagina and cervix: Presence of an infective agent in the vagina or cervix disturbs the normal vaginal bacterial balance resulting in abnormal vaginal discharge. These infections include:
► Bacterial vaginosis: Bacterial vaginosis is one of the commonest causes of vaginal discharge in women of child bearing age. Douching, new or multiple sex partners are risk factors for the condition (cause for these associations are unknown). The discharge is usually thin with a foul smell and usually not associated with itching.
► Sexually transmitted diseases (STDs): Sexually transmitted diseases such as those caused by Chlamydia, Gonorrhoea and Trichomonas vaginalis are associated with abnormal vaginal discharge. The discharge is usually yellowish in color and may be accompanied by burning and itching in the vaginal area. The patient may also have a urinary tract infection.
► Infections caused by yeast: Yeast infections of the vagina result in thick, white curdy discharge that is often odourless. The patient may complain of itching and pain during intercourse. Women with diabetes or who were on antibiotics may be predisposed to developing yeast infection.
Other causes of abnormal vaginal discharge are-
Cancer of the cervix: Cancer of the cervix or the inner lining of the uterus may result in bloody or brownish colored vaginal discharge.
Post medication intake: Intake of certain medications like birth control pills or antibiotics may be associated with abnormal vaginal discharge. In addition, local use of douches, scented soaps and lotions, and bubble baths may also result in abnormal vaginal discharge. A history of use of these substances should be elicited from the patient.
Foreign Body: The presence of a foreign body within the vagina can result in an abnormal vaginal discharge. The discharge may be brownish in color and foul-smelling. The condition can be diagnosed on examination.
Fistula: A fistula is an abnormal connection between the vagina and either the lower urinary or digestive tract. A history of trauma to the area or prior surgery may be obtained from the patient. The vaginal discharge may contain feces in some cases.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. Can a woman have multiple infections at the same time?
Yes. More than one organism may infect the vagina at the same time. This is more common in the women with a compromised immune system, as in those affected with HIV.
2. Once cured, can I get further attacks of abnormal vaginal discharge?
Yes. As already discussed, there are multiple causes for abnormal discharge. This means that once a specific cause is treated, other causes may walk in at other times. So always follow safe practices and take precautions.
3. How can abnormal vaginal discharge be prevented?
Abnormal vaginal discharge can be prevented by taking the following precautions-
► Keep the vagina clean; use gentle, mild soap and warm water to wash your vagina regularly. Always wipe from front to back; this prevents bacteria from entering the vagina.
► Avoid douche, scented soaps, feminine sprays, bubble bath
► Use 100% cotton underpants, avoid overly tight clothing
► Take medications only after consultations with your doctor

Episode 2: Don't Feed the Wildlife
20 April 2018
We all love seeing wildlife, especially pretty songbirds at our bird feeders. But should we be feeding other wildlife? Absolutely not! In fact, it may even be illegal!
Back to Main Podcast Page
JENNY>> Welcome to
Two Minutes in the Yellowstone Ecosystem
, sponsored by the Yellowstone Wildlife Sanctuary. Now here's your host, Gary Robson:
GARY>> You may have seen "don't feed the wildlife" signs, but it's really not a big deal to put out some food for the deer or toss some treats to the wild turkeys, is it? Well, as it turns out, it is a big deal. Often, in fact, being fed can turn into a death sentence for the wildlife.
Disease is one big reason. Feeding wild animals concentrates them in a single area, where diseases can spread quickly. And that's not the only way those cute deer or moose that you feed can end up dead. Most of us really have no idea what wild animals eat during various seasons, and rich foods can kill an animal that's used to winter forage. Even alfalfa pellets.
These are just some of the reasons why feeding the animals isn't just a bad idea: it may be illegal in your area. In Montana, knowingly attracting deer, moose, mountain lions, or turkeys with feed can get you a fine of up to $1,000 and up to six months in jail [
]. Some cities add their own codes. Here in Red Lodge, for example, feeding wild animals can get you a $300 fine [
Feeding wildlife in Yellowstone Park is banned because,
according to the Park's website
, "Animals that become dependent on human food may become aggressive toward people and have to be killed."
In Wyoming, there's no state law against feeding wildlife, but certain cities and counties, like Teton County, have banned the practice.
If the law and the potential to kill the animals doesn't deter you, there's another big reason not to feed wild turkeys, deer, and other prey animals. A concentration of prey attracts predators, and feeding the animals can create quite a concentration of prey. The couple of dozen wild turkeys we'd see in Red Lodge 20 years ago have turned into hundreds of birds wintering in town.
Montana Game Warden Matthew Heaton told me that a bear was spotted killing and eating a deer within the city limits of Red Lodge this spring. At least three mountain lions and a number of coyotes have been spotted in town, too. There's a great book called
The Beast in the Garden
, by David Baron, that tells the story of how encouraging deer to live in Boulder, Colorado caused an influx of mountain lions in town that culminated in people being attacked.
So let's enjoy those wild animals, but let them stay wild. And remember, wildlife sightings are guaranteed at the Yellowstone Wildlife Sanctuary, where our mission is to provide lifelong sanctuary to non-releasable native wildlife while sharing a message of conservation and education.
Join us next week for our next episode of
Two Minutes in the Yellowstone Ecosystem
, where we'll talk about the bears waking up for the springtime.

Sponsored by: Le Savanna Lodge in Kisumu, Kenya - www.lesavannacountrylodge.com
The goal of OGRA Foundation is to promote and improve health by combating HIV and AIDS, TB, Malaria and other preventable infections and diseases, by pursuing an integrated socio-economic and cultural development in the fight against poverty and social exclusion of the communities living in the project areas surrounding Kisumu, Kenya. The Ogra Foundation Projects include:
Acheivements of the Ogra Foundation and the projects since its creation in 1998:
Le Savanna Country Lodge and Hotel is the social enterprise project of the OGRA Foundation, whose prime objective is to generate funds to meet the core costs of the organisation.
OGRA Foundation thought of this sustainability project that would fill this gap while also contributing to the running of financially intensive projects like the feeding centre and orphan support. The hotel went into operation in early January 2009 and is picking up well already hosting guests, seminars, conferences and patrons dropping in for our continental menu.
Message from the Executive Director, Dr. Hezron McObewa:
"This year our major fund raising initiative is to help build a final home for International School of Medicine and Applied Technology that will also introduce Hospitality and Ecotourism as a response to the opening up of the Western circuit tourism in Kisumu and also the ever rising demand for the industry. In addition the college that currently offers diplomas to poor and needy orphans especially girls is committed to training nurses and clinical officers to work in rural and remote places through sponsorship and scholarship schemes. So far the college now has 100 orphans mostly girls rehabilitated from the streets and from being sex workers. To this effect we are appealing for funders to help us raise $USD100,000.00 to enable us construct the girls dormitory/hostel and also sponsor an additional 30 girls to enable Ogra Foundation achieve its objectives. We hope this can be raised through Travellers philanthropy visits to Ogra Foundation projects across the region as well as volunteers and well-wishers.
.Once again we continue to live the dream of giving hope and saving lives"
Projects Ogra Foundation hopes to acheive in one year:
Funds necessary to acheive these projects in one year: $130,000

Realistic dragon fly nymph tying instruction
The dragonfly nymph ( Odonata , Anisoptera) are very common in areas of standing water with aquatic vegetation and have an important role in the diet of trout in those places. They are very common , but not usually found in boxes of fishermen , often ignored or minimized. Insects are a good size , usually measured 2-4 cm . Because of its significant size , in my experience this nymph imitations require a higher level of realism that imitations of small organisms.
hook: TMC 5262 o TMC 5263
Thread: UTC 70 olive, black ( i used white for better details in the film)
Under Body: Monofilament same gross to the wire of the hook
back: Nylon film
Rib: clear monofilament o,20 o 0,23 mm
abdomen, thorax and head: mixed natural dubbing whit sintetic dubbing…HareTron is my favorit . Olive and brown dark tones are the best.
Legs: goose wing feather fibers, bleached and dyed. Opposing to the classical biots.

While meditating on Mount Tam the tanoaks told me that their wisdom is leaving the planet. They used to be loved, celebrated and cared for. They are sick, lonely and feel unloved. They asked me to bring back the oak ceremonies on Mount Tam. And as nuts as it may seem- I am going to do it. After all – Today's mighty oak is just a little nut who stood her ground". Jolie Elan

Guitar Pentatonic Scales...the smart (easy) way
Simplifying Pentatonic Scales on the Fretboard: Correlations (Part 3 of 3)
This series on guitar pentatonic scales is divided into 3 sections, of which this is the third and last. If you don't understand something, go back and get the basics right. The first article covers the basics of pentatonic scales. The second article builds on the first, and explains how to actually apply this knowledge in practice, how to play pentatonic scales, on the guitar fretboard. This third article makes learning pentatonic scales on the fretboard super easy... Enjoy!
Things at the end of Section 2 may have seemed a little complicated, but our job at GTiD is to make hard things easy... so hold on!
Guitar Pentatonic Scales:
If the relationships between these diagrams are not clear yet, take a look at this:
Let's now take the minor harmonic fingering pattern and the major melodic fingering pattern...
With only 2 patterns, we have learned 2 ways of playing 2 different guitar pentatonic scales (which in the end we realized were the same thing): 2 stones, 4 birds. Cool, huh?!
So what's next?!
Now you have learned and understood the basic patterns behind guitar pentatonic scales. The next step is to find out how they relate to diatonic scales, guitar modes. This will allow you to understand, play, and improvise much more complex melodic patterns.
If you're wondering about the remaining strings...
These patterns -harmonic and melodic fingerings- are the only ones you will find when playing pentatonic scales starting at the root. 2 octave patterns are always composed of these patterns stacked up: the only differences you will find are due to the strings 2 and 3, which are tuned a 3rd appart (instead of a fourth). Understand the principles in this article, and explore them in all string combinations and all over the fretboard: this will free you to improvise in a much more fluid way!!!
In this series on pentatonic scales and the fretboard, we merely scratch the surface of guitar pentatonic scales. There are many more interesting relationships to understand:

Belfast-based paper Sunday Life has succeeded in its campaign to get a prison sentence increased for a man who murdered his ex-girlfriend by stabbing her 77 times.
Conor Doyle was sentenced to a minimum of ten years jail in July after a judge said the fact he was drunk was a mitigating factor in the killing of 23year-old Angela Snoddy.
Sunday Life launched Justice for Angela, backing a campaign started by the murdered woman's mother Helen.
The paper printed copies of a petition urging the case to be referred back to the Court of Appeal and persuaded thousands of readers to sign it.
Attorney General Lord Goldsmith referred the case back to the Court of Appeal and this week the minimum sentence for Doyle was increased from 10 to 15 years. Helen Snoddy praised the paper's involvement, saying: "I couldn't have done it without the Sunday Life."
Sunday Life editor Martin Lindsay said: "It was a very tragic case and it was a good result for us. It's unusual in cases like this to get such a clear-cut result."
