The date is Nov. 2002, and I have had my pump for
four years now. It is at this time that the battery in my pump has decided to start slowing down. It didn't
stop all at once, instead it would at times it would surge, and others I would have to take oral pain medication to make
up the difference. This went on for several months, and thankfully it finally died, the battery that is. I now
have my second 10 ml pump......it should last another four yerars. It is back to working like it is supposed to, what
I mean is that it is doing it's job by taking care of my pain.
Chapter 3
It was in the first of Dec., 2002 that I fainted
because of taking a Maxalt( I thought ) for my migrane. My blood pressure bottomed out to 60 over something.
When my husband got home he found me unconious on the floor. He called 911 and when the ambulance took me to the
Hospital. They had to run an IV of saline in me to get my blood pressure to rise to where it should. We went home
thinking that it was a drug reaction to Maxalt. Several weeks later I had got up one morning and was feeling kind of
like you do when you've been cold turkeyed off and a medication. I picked up the phone and called my husband and told
him I felt strange........the next sound he heard was me scream as I hit the chair, table, and then floor............when
he got there he couldn't get me up, and this time we were sure that I had had a real seizure. The muscles in my arms,
and legs, etc.........were so sore I could hardly move, my back was black and blue, and I had bitten my tongue.
Also I was so sleepy, I could hardly keep my eyes open. In the hospital Dr. Brookoff got on the inter-net
and went through my medications and found that there was one that could have caused them. It was Flagyl! I won't
take that again, that's for sure! They did test after test to see if there was anything wrong like epilepsy, stroke,
etc.......We were happy to find that I didn't have any of these. We think that the Flagyl is what caused the seizure.
You don't know how much I hope it is. It is the scarry feeling wondering if you are going to have another seizure, and
hoping you want hurt your self when you fall. This is something that changes your way of life. I'm taking
a seizure medication called Depakote. Some of the side effects are: Gaining weight, and the lose of
hair. YUCK!! I certainly do not need to gain a lot of weight. When your only 5 ft and 1 inch. it doesn't
take much to go to the next size. Also in the state of TN. you have to go for 6 months with out having a
seizure before you can drive again. Looking at the other states it is a year, I got off lucky on that
one. I feel like a teenager again living with my parents and them grounding me from the car for the next 6 months.
Good thing my mother doesn't work so she can take me places. One side effect of the depakote is that it has helped
with my migranes. For this I'm thankfull.
Chapter 4
It is May the 28th and I have lost 20 pounds in
three weeks, after gaining it over the years that I was taking pain medication. It seemed like every medication that
I was put on would cause weight gain. After gaining up to 140 lbs for a 5 foot and 1 and a half inch frame that was
petite in shape. I decided to start on a diet made by Medifast. Medifast is a diet that you could only get
from a doctor up until now. The first thing you do is decide what products that you are going to have four times a day,
and then what type of protein bar you are going to have for a snack ( Chocolate Divine, Peanut Butter, Chocolate Mint, Crunchy
Lemon, Double Berry, and Oatmeal Raisin). You start by eating their products: oats, milkshakes ( French Vanilla,
Dutch Chocolate, Orange Delight, Swiss Mocha, Orange Pineapple, and Strawberry Cream), Soups, oats, and Protein Bars
(Chocolate Divine & Peanut Butter are my favorite). They also have special formulas that are for specific types
of diseases (Diabetics, Joint Health, Women's Health, and Coronary Health). You can either take the food for losing
weight, help your health, or both.
I decided to drink four shakes a day, and eat a
protein bar at night. Not only did the food taste great, but I was able to lose the weight without going hungry.
Now that I've lost the weight that I wanted to I
still drink two to three shakes a day, eat a lunch, and have a protein bar. It not only helped me lose weight
but it has given me the engery that I have not had for a long time. This comes from the fact that the Medifast
food contains vitamins, minerals, and plenty of soy protein. For those of you that have sugar cravings
because of taking pain medication this will certainly take it's place.

I wonder what else will happen as the pain pump
and I live out our lives together. I have know idea, but I'm thankful that God has given me the chance to find out! I
hope that God will grant you the gift of taking care of your chronic pain, and any other health problem that you are having.
Remember that that gift can come in some of the most unsuspected ways. Just be thankful, and enjoy the gift that has
been given to you from the Lord. You might be angry now, but later you can look back and see what you were able
to do while helping the Lord! Nothing is as bad as it looks at first, you have to have faith that God knows what is
best for us. Try and learn what he wants you to do with your life. Even if you are in terriable pain there is
something that you can do to make a difference, you just have to have faith in God to work through you. For me it is
working, and helping people like yourself not to have to go through what I had to do to just get a doctor that would understand
you! Also it keeps me sane, thinking that if I help you then you can help another.......etc. You never know who
you will meet.

Capter 8
Will it is2005 and I have had a really bad year starting with 2004 and ending in 2005, and
what knows will happen in the next several years. I've had several of new disease's, like: Pelvic Floor Disorder,
Vulu valuvastites, and it seems that this all goes along with IC and IBC. Of of coures it makes my life diffucult.
And to top it off I got every bug that was going around. I've spent most of my time in bed. Last timt it took
me neraly 6 years to find Dr. Brookoff, and I don't won'to find anyone else.
Chapter 9
Last month the Dr. ( Dr. Brookoff ) had the rest of the staff were closed down. Due to
money Problems! Go figure! most. Since their are few Pain Clinics it is hard find a clinic that has stopped
taking new patients. I made apts. to all the clincs and was not impressed. They either were not what
I was looking for or didn't want me because of all the diseases that I have. I was at the point where you are very depressed.
Finally I was getting my Internal Pain Pump filled and my doctor ( DR. Wright, a neurologist
at Symmes Murphy, that took care of my pump) saw me crying when he came in. I told him the problem and
he told me he had not problem taking care of my Pain Meds.. Finally my prays were answered! I couldn't thank God
enough. Not only was he smart, but he was up on all the new information that was coming out on treating Pain.
It goes to show you that I should have asked him first and stopped all the time and anguis that I went through.
It starts with one person helping another, like a pepple
through in the lake. I feel that I have a purpose in life, and that ripples on, on........This is what God has given
me a purpose in life, and that is to help others like myself that lost, hurting and need someone to get them started on the
right path.

2 Minutes - SILENCE, STILLNESS AND CENTERING WITH GOD
Philippians 4:6-7
6 Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. 7 And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
The natural tendency of my mind apart from God is toward death, not life...When people are alone, undistracted by noise or activity, their minds naturally drift toward an awareness of dis- contentment, a sense of inadequacy, anxiety about the future, and a chronic sense of self-preoccupation.
This is why people generally ee from solitude. Why? Because people hate to be alone with their minds. Television is attractive because it distracts us, but of course in the long run it simply makes our minds that much weaker and more dependent on outside stimulation to keep us entertained. (GICTYT, p. 85-86)
What are you anxious about today that you can release to a faithful God?

I am honored to have two quilts in the book Modern Quilts: Designs of the New Century. Riane Menardi, Alissa Haight Carlton and Heather Grant did a great job pulling together all the 200+ Quilts for the book. It's a great visual representation of modern quilts and the Modern Quilt Guild.
For my stop on the blog tour, I thought I would explain a bit about what the Modern Quilt Guild has meant to me in my quilting journey.
I have been quilting for 21 years – I made my first quilt when I was 13! I continued to make quilts off and on throughout high school and college. In my mid-20's my friends started to have babies and I started making baby quilts. It was around this time that blogs were becoming more popular, and I had started seeing other quilters and the quilts they were making on the internet. I somehow learned about the modern quilt movement and discovered there was a guild right in my city.
In the fall of 2011 I joined the Kansas City Modern Quilt Guild. I tried to attend all the meetings I could, even though I didn't know anyone (somewhat overwhelming for an introvert like me). I loved being surrounded by other people that also loved quilting. It was so inspiring to see the different quilts people made at Show & Tell and to hear from speakers that were doing new and unique things.
Over time, I started to become more involved in the guild, and even forced myself to share my own quilts in Show & Tell (even though it always makes my heart race)!
Being a part of the guild really pushed my quilting into a completely new place. I started making and designing more quilts and trying new things. I made quilts with solids only! I grew as a designer and as a quilter, and I know I would not have created all the things I've made the last 6 years had I not been a part of the Modern Quilt Guild. I learned so much from the members of my guild, and appreciate the ones that went out of their way to help me on my quilt endeavors.
If you are at all interested in quilts and modern quilts, I highly recommend checking out your local MQG (if you are lucky enough to have one close by). I recently moved to Colorado and joined the Boulder Modern Quilt Guild. It's smaller than my previous guild, but all the women have been so nice, and I know I will learn a lot! Moving to a new place, I am grateful to have a community to meet new people, and who also happen to share my love of quilting.
You can read my previous posts about my two quilts that are in the book Welcome to Colorful Colorado and Whatever to learn about how and why I made these quilts. If you are interested in making Welcome to Colorful Colorado, you can purchase the Colorado quilt pattern from my Etsy or Craftsy stores.

Winner of Art Jameel Commission - in collaboration with Alia Farid
"Contrary Life" is a botanical garden of artificial trees comprised of six islands, each named after a different urban enclave where concentrations of these trees can be found: Sharjah, Guangzhou, Zhongshan, Shuwaikh, Zaabel and Ahmadi. The site-specific work riffs on our relationship to the natural world and are the outcome or environmental and social research on regional symbology, flora, and popular culture. The open-air installation is a collaboration between Aseel AlYaqoub and Alia Farid, and the winner of the first Art Jameel commission.
The installation was on display for a year and showed signs of deterioration and became desaturated over time, emphasising on the idea that even artificial elements cannot sustain the region's environment.

Your mouth is made up of many components, including soft tissues, bone, ligaments, joints, and muscles. All of these components work together to ensure that your mouth functions properly. If the muscles in your mouth are tense, not only do they grow tired, but they can cause issues for your teeth, your jawbone, and your temporomandibular joints. At Beyond Dental and Implant Center, we can help to relax these muscles with a myo-monitor.
What is a Myo-Monitor?
A myo-monitor is an electronic device that is used to provide low-frequency electrical muscle stimulation. It delivers controlled, periodic bilateral stimulation that is designed to help your muscles relax while also increasing blood circulation and your range of motion.
How Does the Myo-Monitor Work?
The myo-monitor is equipped with four electrical channels that are placed on different areas depending upon your specific needs. The channels can be placed on the sides of the face near the jaw, the back of the neck, or the shoulders. Each left and right pair of channels has its controls. As the channels deliver low-frequency stimulation, the muscles begin to relax. With four different channels, we can stimulate four different sites at the same time, which can help to save significant time while still being just as effective.
What is the Myo-Monitor Used For?
There are several uses for the myo-monitor. These include
Benefits of the Myo-Monitor
There are several benefits associated with using a myo-monitor.
Is the Myo-Monitor Safe?
For most patients, the myo-monitor provides safe, effective low-frequency stimulation to alleviate pain and increase the range of motion of the mouth. However, there are some instances in which the myo-monitor might not be appropriate. If you have a cardiac demand pacemaker, the myo-monitor should not be used. The myo-monitor should also not be used if you have cancerous lesions, malignant tumors, or if you are pregnant. Before undergoing treatment, we will go over your medical history, which will help us to determine if using a myo-monitor is the right treatment for you. You may experience a small amount of skin irritation where the channels are placed due to the adhesive or because of the stimulation, but this irritation should subside.
For more information on the Myo-monitor, and just how it can help you, call Beyond Dental and Implant Center at (972) 591-7520 today.

I can remember being a kid saying I couldn't wait to grow up. I have no idea what I was thinking. This isn't fun like I thought it would be.
I mean, OMG I love my family but holy sh*t, what a ride getting here.
I think the hardest part was the responsibilities and losing friends. People don't grow up at the same speed, and I think I have lost more than a few friends that way. But I figure, maybe they will catch up one day. Every day is a new challenge though.
So what do you think was the hardest part?

G-Tube Program
The G-Tube Program provides care and support to children who are less than 18 years old that require or already have a Gastrostomy (G) or GastroJejunostomy (GJ) Tube. The G-Tube team consists of a nurse practitioner, and two G-tube resource nurses who work closely with a paediatrician and the interventional radiologists in the IGT department. For more information, click here.
Indications for a G/GJ-Tube
Enteral tube feeding is initiated when a patient is unable to meet nutrient or fluid needs orally. Conditions that often require G/GJ-Tube feeding support include:
Is my Patient a Candidate for an G/GJ-Tube?
Before you refer your patient, it is important to determine whether a nasoenteric tube or an enterostomy tube would best suit your patient. Here is an algorithm that will assist you in determining if an enterostomy tube is suitable, as well as whether a G-Tube or a GJ-Tube is more appropriate for your patient's needs.

~Antiqued hydrangeas, 'Black Magic' roses, thistle and hypericum berries in an oval galvanized tin~
Happy Monday!
Nothing is more beautiful to me than neutral simplicity…
…and Michael George has to be the master of this look…modern, sleek simplicity…
…bet Joni over at Cote de Texas would like this room…
…have always loved the creamy caramel tone of these mini callas…
…anybody want to guess how many tulips are in this simple little arrangement?
….tone on tone…notice the great centerpieces…and the lanterns!
Let me say a word on the "simplicity" of Michael George's bouquets and arrangements… they look perfect and seem simple to make since they usually use only one type of flower…but looks are deceiving! One stem out of place will be obvious in these ultra sleek bouquets. I am in awe of the talent of this man!
…each orchid bloom in this bouquet is hand-wired which makes for a very lightweight bouquet…much more comfortable than carrying a heavy one around all day…
Check out Michael George Hybrid to see more of his work…you will love the artful quality of his floral designs.
I'll meet you here on Monday with more flowers!
(all images from Michael George Hybrid)
What is it about perfectly straight lines of identical objects that grabs me ? I think there may be a name for this condition…
All of these images are from Nisie's Enchanted Florist and you will be amazed at her website. With her background as a fashion designer, Nisie creates amazing floral designs with precise attention to detail.
Succulents AND straight rows…
…AND monochromatic, monobotanical bouquets!
Anyone else get this excited about order?
A fondness for the lavender of the twilight sky…

In July, I acquired a 35mm film camera (Pentax MZ-50 SLR, a simple, low-end camera) from family. Since then, two rolls of FujiColour ISO400 36exp. have been run through the camera. Given the lackluster performance of my point and shoot digital camera, a gently-used Sony, this has been an incredible step in the right direction. Say what you will about film, but I'm personally not one for digital rubbish anyway.
This part of the forum seems very quiet these days, so I figured I might drop a few of my favourites in for the enjoyment of the audience confined to this discussion board. I am quite aware some members will have already seen these before, but for those who haven't, here goes.
Images are in reverse chronological order, from just recently to the end of July this year.
An interesting tidbit on 1102:
I had previously thought about one month ago that a 344 to Warwick Station would be my last hoorah riding aboard a CNG Rigid. Apparently not. The day I took this photo, I again figured that would be my last ride on 1102. Apparently not. Several days ago, I rode her for a third "last time." Time will tell what will eventuate as my ultimate and penultimate rides, in any case, I "patted" the bus, thanked her and wished her a happy retirement after each ride.

Will Brooks' 50 Year Diary - watching Doctor Who one episode a day from the very start...
Day Ninety-Eight: Day of Armageddon (The Daleks' Master Plan, Episode Two)
Dear Diary,
A few years ago, when I first started reading the Wife in Space blog, it used to astound me how easily Sue could spot an episode directed by Douglas Camfield. I mean sure, every director has a distinct look, but it's not something that I often notice while watching Doctor Who. For Season One and most of Season Two of this marathon, there's a fair few places where I wouldn't be able to tell you where one directer stops and another takes over.
I've never really noticed the direction in Doctor Who before. It's usually being made under such pressures that it becomes very basic, with plenty of use being given to stock framing and basic direction of actors. In fact, then only time I've ever really connected to a Who director was shortly after Blink aired for the first time, and I found myself in an interview for a place at university, studying film production. I wasn't sure what to expect at the interview and was caught completely off-guard when they asked about my favourite example of direction. The first thing I thought of was Blink (since it was the most recent episode to air) and I managed to make up a load of stuff about how much it had affected me.
Of course, I couldn't remember that it was Hettie MacDonald who'd directed it, so I had to stall on using the name for as long as I could. Then I spoke about how Graeme Harper likes to shout 'lots of energy' before each take. Bizzarely, I actually landed a place on the course, but six years on, my own directorial work amounts to an afternoon of Blue Peter and a selection of rubbish student films.
Anyway, it always struck me how easily Sue reacted when Camfield was behind the cameras, but suddenly, I get it. I didn't have a clue that he was the man responsible for tackling this twelve-part Dalek epic, but as soon as I loaded up the Lost in Time DVD for today's episode, it was obviously him.
For a start, the sets are of a quality in places that is very reminiscent of The Time Meddler. For the last episode, my image of the jungles of Kembel were based more on the look of The Chase than of the animated Mission to the Unknown. As soon as they appeared today, though, I couldn't quite believe it. They're stunning! I mean, really, stunning. I was a little disappointed by the Daleks gathering around the TARDIS - the narration on the soundtrack made it sound more impressive than it actually is - but the shots Hartnell creeping around in the foliage are great. He's got the same confident air here that I praised during A Battle of Wits a few weeks ago - Camfield really brings out the best in him.
Then we've got the Dalek's council chamber, for want of a better description. Oh, sure, it's not the best-looking set we've ever seen in the series - it's mostly a load of drapes and some fancy chairs - but the sheer size of it! There's a shot early on, when Mavic Chen sits at the table writing and a Dalek glides down the ramp to meet him and it feels like ti takes the Dalek an age to reach him! I don't think we've had a bigger set in the programme than this before.
Of course, while I'm raving about the direction (there's only 25% of this story available to watch, so expect me to really latch onto the direction when I can see it!), I have to talk about the way the Daleks themselves look. There's shots of them talking that involve the eyestalks reaching out towards the camera, and just giving them more of a screen presence than we've had before. It just feels like this is the best they've ever looked.
And there's the scene of them burning down the jungle. I have to admit, it was terribly exciting to see them first ignite their flamethrowers. I'm a twenty-three-year-old-man, I shouldn't be as excited by the thought of a Dalek with a flamethrower, but frankly… how brilliant! The way they come on, one at a time…
I mean, in fairness, things then feel a bit dragged out as we watch them - slowly - trundle around and wait for the set to catch fire, but it's still brought about by a terribly exciting moment. If anything, this episode has made me regret that I'm not going to get to see more of this story than I am. I mused the other day that of all the ones to be missing from the archives, Galaxy 4 wasn't perhaps the biggest visual loss. I'm getting the feeling that this one might be…

DUBLIN (Reuters) - Ireland does not rule out asking the European Union to relax or waive some rules of the single market in the event of a no-deal Brexit in order to avoid a hard border on the island of Ireland, Foreign Minister Simon Coveney said on Wednesday.
Asked if Ireland would need any derogations to avoid a hard border, Coveney said: "That will be an ongoing conversation. We don't have anything like a conclusion to that discussion yet."
"If a no-deal Brexit becomes more likely outcome, of course we will have to have very detailed discussions with the commission" about how to maintain the integrity of the single market, he added.

Iconic Melbourne bar 20 Meyers Place, was the collaborative brainchild of Six Degrees and several others, situated down a narrow, disused laneway in the CBD. The idea for creating a small, European style bar was conceived because many of the group lived in the city and simply had nowhere to drink! The group designed, built and ran the place themselves, and so Melbourne's first laneway bar was born.Six Degrees set out to design and construct the bar as resourcefully as possible using whatever 'gomi' or discarded objects and materials they could find. The fit out includes cupboard doors from a Department of Education office, old train armrests, and timber paneling that was once the stage front of the Melbourne Town Hall. The inherent aesthetic character of reclaimed materials gives the bar a sense of history and a layered, textural quality.
Meyer's Place was and still is hugely successful and is widely recognised as the place that revolutionised Melbourne's iconic, laneway culture. In 2007 Architectural Review recognised Meyers Place as a project that has contributed greatly to architecture in Australia.

text: Do women die sooner than they should from heart attacks? "Heart attacks cut five more years from women's lives than men's." - Daily Mail 4 August 2015 The study was published in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology in August 2015. It was led by Yale School of Medicine and Yale School of Public Health and was based on a study of 146,743 patients aged 65 to 90 who were treated in hospital for a heart attack in the United States in the mid-1990s. The average age was 76, and 48.1 per cent were women and 6.4 per cent were black. Life expectancy after a heart attack was similar for men and women, but lower for black patients than white patients. But when the researchers looked at how long the patients would have been expected to live after the heart attack (because women usually live longer than men), they found that women lost 10.5 per cent more of their expected life than men, and that black people lost more 6.2 per cent of their life than white people. The report says: "After accounting for differences in expected survival, women lost significantly more years of life than men…For example, we estimated that 65-year-old white men and women are estimated to lose 5.1 and 10 years of life after AMI [acute myocardial infarction, ie a heart attack]". After accounting for differences in expected survival, women lost significantly more years of life than men The authors found that differences in life expectancy between races could be explained by differences in treatment – either that black people attended lower-quality hospitals, or were less likely to receive the best care in hospital – and that they were more likely to have other health issues (such as heart failure or diabetes). But these issues did not explain the differences when it came to women. This study was covered in the Daily Mail and other online news sources. The Mail said: "Scientists say that the findings could be linked to a difference in the quality of care patients receive." But while that was true for race differences, there was no evidence that the differences in life expectancy between men and women were linked to differences in care. The study authors said this "suggests the need for additional research to understand this difference, which may be explained by either biological and psychosocial differences or other disparities in care. Strategies that warrant investigation include reducing the higher risk factor burden in women and improving long-term management of heart disease." The researchers acknowledge that the sample of black patients was relatively small, and that there may be other limitations in the study – for example, the differences in life expectancy following a heart attack may be due to other illnesses than coronary heart disease. This suggests the need for additional research to understand this difference Techniques for treatment and care have also improved since the mid-1990s,which means that patients now are living longer, so the life expectancy differences may no longer be the same. The study says "Additionally, there have been several national efforts over the last two decades to increase awareness of heart disease in women and to reduce differences in health outcomes." This study is a reminder that coronary heart disease affects both men and women, so if you have symptoms, whether it's classic chest pain or less "obvious" symptoms like pain in your arm, neck or jaw, or indigestion-like symptoms, it's important to seek medical advice straight away. Maureen Talbot, our senior cardiac nurse, said: "This US study shows that gender and race could affect a patient's life expectancy after suffering a heart attack, and emphasises the importance of appropriate care following such an event. "This includes taking medicines as prescribed, focusing on the risk factors that contribute to heart disease, such as high blood pressure and cholesterol, and attending a cardiac rehabilitation programme to raise awareness of how to live with a heart condition. "Further research is needed to establish why some population groups may have a shorter life expectancy and whether this correlates to the UK population."

My father, had he lived, would have been ninety-four years old on September 15. He died of a mix of what I think of as modern ailments – diabetes, high blood pressure, and a persistent melanoma that began on his leg and eventually traveled to his brain. He passed in February, 2002, a few months shy of his 84th birthday, and shortly before publication of my first book, Sodom Laurel Album. That he didn't live to see the book, or hear my lecture on the book at the Library of Congress, is one of the great regrets of my life.
Dad, and my mother too, was a product of the Great Depression and that experience was communicated to me, his oldest child, in the form of suggestions regarding what I should major in in college. I wanted to study history and anthropology and English although at the time I certainly had no idea how one made a living with such esoteric interests. Dad, thinking practically, and with his long memory of difficult times as a teenager, suggested business because I would always be able to get a job.
I got my degree in Personnel Management, but business didn't stick with me. I spent more than a few years searching for the right fit, eventually coming back to my first love of writing and, a later learned-love, photography. My decision to pursue my art was difficult for both of my parents to understand or accept. Why would I not use my degree? Why would I choose a profession with such insecurity attached to it? Why would I pick something I knew so little about? My father, while mystified, also told me he would be proud of anything I did as long as I was productive.
Some years later, after some success, when it seemed my decision had been the right one, my father revisited the decision that sent me to business school. We were at an exhibit of my work in Charlotte and he was talking with a friend who was filming the conversation for posterity. He explained his insistence that I take business, my pleas to study the humanities, and my ultimate stubbornness about following my own path. At that point in the conversation, he looked around the gallery and said, "But this is really nice work."
That sentence was perhaps my father's most important gift to me. In those few short words, he gave me acceptance and understanding while showing me his own ability to change and be flexible. But most importantly, he gave me an important message about parenting, about accepting our children for who they are, not who we want them to be.

Popular Science Monthly/Volume 7/June 1875/Literary Notices
English Men of Science; their Nature and Nurture. By Francis Galton, F. R. S., etc. New York: D. Appleton & Co. London: Macmillan & Co.
The author of this book is quite widely known by his former publication, "Hereditary Genius," and by various statistical works. Here he has attempted to analyze the "Natural History of the English Men of Science of the Present Day," and to determine, if possible, the effect of the circumstances in which they have lived, including the consideration of their antecedents, their hereditary qualities, their education, and of the influences which have made them what they are.
His definition of a man of science, for the purpose of his inquiry, is characteristically English, although it may be, on the whole, the best attainable one for the special questions of which he treats; he selects, then, only members of the Royal Society of England, and among these he still further separates those who have received a medal for scientific work; those who have presided over a section of the British Association for the Advancement of Science; those who are members of a certain literary and scientific club of London, etc., etc. On these grounds 180 men have been selected, who are presumably representative English scientific men.
The author estimates that at least 300 men could have been selected, and that this gives (having regard to age) about one scientific man to every 10,000 in England.
His question then is, "What are the conditions of nature and the various circumstances and conditions of life—which I include under the general name of nurture—which have selected that one and left the remainder?" The data available for the solution of this question are "the autobiographical replies to a very long series of pointed questions addressed severally to the 180 men" previously described. Of course, these replies were given in confidence, and it is not possible for the reader to connect the various replies, which are often given in detail, with any one person interrogated.
The first inquiry is into the "Race and Birthplace" of the subjects of the inquiry. Out of ten scientific men, five are pure English, one pure Scotch, etc.; their birthplaces are usually in towns away from the seacoast. "The branch of science pursued is often in curious disaccord with the surrounding influence of the birthplace. Mechanicians are usually hardy lads, born in the country; biologists are frequently pure townsfolk."
The occupation and position in life of the parents are next considered, and the chief point of interest here developed is that, out of every 100 scientific men, only three or four have had clergymen for their fathers. Although so many of the graduates of the English universities take holy orders as a means of securing fellowships, yet it is noteworthy that, in a fairly-selected list of 660 separate appointments on scientific councils, only sixteen have been divines, and these have chiefly been proficients in the astronomical and mathematical sciences, and not a single biologist is to be found among them. The inquiry proceeds to physical peculiarities of parents, and the conclusion is reached that out of 165 cases examined these peculiarities were in harmony seventy-eight times, in contrast thirty-one times; from examination of special conditions, such as the height, color of hair, corpulency of the parents, the general result is that the parents of scientific men are decidedly more in harmony as to their physical characteristics than in contrast.
In some of these discussions we confess to a slight feeling of doubt as to the trustworthiness of the conclusions. Although "figures will not lie," there may be an accidental accumulation of coincidences in a small number of cases which will quite mask the real law, and statisticians need excessive care in drawing such conclusions.
In general, this caution is evident throughout the volume. We have given enough to elucidate the author's method; and we will only note those conclusions which seem most interesting, referring the reader to the book itself for details.
The average number of living children of scientific men seems to be, on the whole, decidedly smaller than that of the parents of these men; their health relatively to their parents is not so good; in one out of every three cases their marriages are sterile. In contrast to this, it may be said that their health, relatively to that of the average man, is better and their energy greater. Still the conclusions above noted do not promise well for the continuation of the race as pure blood.
Chapter II. deals with the qualities of the men themselves, as derived from their answers to the questions proposed to them. Out of every ten, "seven call themselves members of the Churches of England, Scotland, or Ireland," while the remaining three are distributed among various sects; two out of every ten have a "decided religious bias."
To the question "Has the religious creed taught you in your youth had a deterrent effect on the freedom of your researches?" seven or eight say "No" to one who says "Yes."
Chapter III. deals in an admirable manner with the "Origin of the Taste for Science," and we commend it to all who are interested in scientific education; together with Chapter IV., which deals with the merits and demerits of the education itself.
The lessons of these two chapters are condensed by the author into this general statement: Teach a few congenial and useful things very thoroughly; encourage curiosity concerning as wide a range of subjects as possible; and do not over-teach. Specially he recommends (from the knowledge gained from his inquiry), for the precise subjects to be studied in order best to educate a youth for scientific pursuits: 1. Mathematics; its processes to be utilized for interesting ends and practical application; 2. Logic; 3. Observation; theory in experiment in at least one branch of science; 4. Accurate drawing of objects connected with this branch; 5. Mechanical manipulation. "These five subjects should be rigorously taught." There should remain enough time for literature, history, poetry, and languages: these last are to be learned solely to enable the learners to read ordinary books written in them.
Most of these conclusions are quite as applicable to America as to England, and they deserve the most careful attention.
Roughly speaking, the author finds that "six out of every ten men of science were gifted by nature with a strong taste for it," and "we may therefore conclude that the possession of a strong special taste is a precious capital, and that it is a wicked waste of national power to thwart it ruthlessly by a false system of education." No test can be given to distinguish in the youth a special taste from a passing fancy, but hereditary inclinations should be carefully regarded. A curious result of the inquiry is, that the influence of the father in determining the scientific taste is three times more potent than that of the mother. Probably the general impression on this point is opposed to such a conclusion.
The practical lesson for England is drawn with great force and skill by the author on page 222, et seq. Much of this is inapplicable to us in America, but it is in the highest degree valuable generalization, and it is peculiarly worthy the attention of educators.
Science with us is sporadic, and no one is in any degree directly responsible for its fostering, except, perhaps, the larger universities. There is no central power which can assist its prosecution, nor is there much intelligent inclination on the part of our lawmakers to help it or hurt it. As an example of the lack of intelligence in the forwarding of scientific research, we may note the liberal appropriations ($175,000) for the observations of the transit of Venus by the last Congress but one; and the refusal of more than $3,000, by the last Congress, for the preliminary computations incident thereto. Evidently for us at this time the lessons of this book are not to be applied, but much more elementary ones; yet, undoubtedly, the true principles of "government aid to science," and cf the "endowment of research," are correctly indicated.
These are questions which assuredly will arise in America as they have in England, and we cannot doubt that the careful analysis here given will serve as a firm basis for rational action in this most important direction.
The Heart of Africa: Three Years' Travels and Adventures in the Unexplored Regions of Central Africa, from 1868 to 1871. By Dr. Georg Schweinfurth. In two volumes. Price, $8. Harper & Brothers.
This is a model book of travel, fresh, entertaining, full of novelty, yet in a high degree instructive and trustworthy. Its author combines the accomplishments of the artist with the solid acquirements of the man of science and the ardent enthusiasm of the explorer, so that, though still a young man, his name is already famous both in Europe and America. The history of Dr. Schweinfurth happily illustrates the power of early impressions. At his first school one of the masters was the son of a missionary in South Africa. The stories he told of the wonders of that distant country took possession of the youthful fancy of his pupil, and turned his mind toward the land where he was to achieve such signal renown. Dr. Schweinfurth devoted himself from boyhood to the science of botany. He studied at Heidelberg and Berlin, where he took his degree as doctor of philosophy. In 1860, when about twenty-four years of age, his interest in Africa was intensified by the circumstance that a collection of plants from the region of the Nile was placed in his hands to arrange and describe. While engaged in this work, a yearning came over him to behold these plants in all their bloom and beauty in their native haunts, and so added an immediate stimulus to his life-long interest in that strange country. Accordingly, in 1863 he left Berlin for Egypt, and, after botanizing in the Delta of the Nile, along the shores of the Red Sea, in Abyssinia and Khartoom, for two years and a half, he went back to Europe with an empty purse and a splendid collection of plants, though obtained at the additional cost of repeated attacks of fever. But this expedition only whetted his appetite for African exploration, and he soon submitted to the Royal Academy of Science a plan for the botanical survey of the equatorial districts lying west of the Nile, portions of which were still wholly unknown. His proposals were accepted, and the expenses of the enterprise were met by the "Humboldt Institution of Natural Philosophy and Travels," in Berlin. In July, 1868, he again landed in Egypt, and in the first chapter of this work he records the incidents of his journey till his arrival at Khartoom. After a short delay he proceeded up the White Nile and Gazelle. He says:
As a result of this study, several pages are devoted to explanations of this river system and the topography of the swampy region of the Meshera, where he was compelled to linger through February and March, botanizing in swamps, wading among papyrus-clumps, and exposed to the dreaded malaria of this unhealthy region. His immunity from sickness he attributes in part to the three doses of quinine, of eight or nine grains each, which he took daily. Half the travelers who have ventured into these swamps have succumbed to fever. Here Miss Tunne's expedition suffered a loss of five out of its nine European members, and among them Dr. Steudner, the botanist of the expedition. Here Heuglin lost most of his time by continual relapses of fever. And in this region Le Saint, a French geographical explorer, had died a few months before. From this place he took his start for the interior. He thus describes his company:
After passing through the lands of the Dinka, Dyoor, Bongo, and Mittoo, and adding much to our knowledge of these people while studying the topography of the country and contributing important discoveries concerning its river system, besides his incessant botanical, entomological, and meteorological observations, he came upon the territory of the Niam-niam. On the 29th of January, 1870, he set out with four Nubian servants, and thirty Bongo bearers, under the protection of Mohammed Aboo Sammat, a magnanimous Nubian merchant, who, sword in hand, had vanquished various districts large enough to have formed small states in Europe. Of this man the author says:
They were soon joined by a caravan consisting of 500 bearers and 120 soldiers, and these with women and slaves made a procession in single file of some 800 people. The incidents of their progress are of the deepest interest, but we have no space for their enumeration. From his account of the Niam-niam people we quote the following:
"The social position of the Niam-niam women differs materially from what is found among other heathen negroes in Africa.
Between the parallels of 3° and 4° north latitude, and 28° and 29° east longitude from Greenwich, in the very heart of Africa, is a territory of some 4,000 square miles, inhabited by the Monbuttoo. The country of the Niam-niam constitutes its northern and northwestern boundaries:
From his account of the Monbuttoo, of whom he speaks "as exhibiting a development of indigenous culture entirely different to what can be witnessed all around," we quote the following:
'But, as every page and paragraph of this work is of absorbing interest, we are weary of the mental conflict as to which shall have place in our limited space. We will conclude with the following:
Fungi: their Nature and Uses. By M. C. Cooke and M. J. Berkeley. New York: D. Appleton & Co. "International Scientific Series," No. XV. Pp. 800. Price, $1.50.
A very interesting tract of the vegetable kingdom, which has hitherto received but little popular attention, is here reported upon by two of the most eminent English authorities upon the subject. In all that relates to those numerous and curious forms of vegetable growth called fungi, in their familiar forms, as seen by everybody in field and forest, and in their still more wonderful microscopic varieties. Rev. M. J. Berkeley, the venerable Rector of Sibbertoft, is perhaps the first authority in the world. Though a hard-working clergyman, he has found time to master and to extend one of the most interesting provinces of botany hitherto as obscure as it is extensive. He engaged to produce a book for the "International Series" upon this subject, but, finding, from the multiplicity of bis engagements and his uncertain health, that he could not accomplish it satisfactorily, he associated with himself the next ablest man of England in this field, Dr. M. C. Cooke, who has done the principal work, which now appears under the critical editorship of Dr. Berkeley himself. Readers who desire to become acquainted with the subject-matter of this volume, and to form some general idea of its scope and importance, are referred to the opening article of the present number of the Monthly, and, if its perusal interests them, they will find that the book gives the clearest and fullest account of the subject for common readers that has yet been published.
The following passages are from an able review of it in the London Athenæum:
The American Garden: a Monthly Illustrated Journal devoted to Garden Art. 24 pages. $2 a Year. Beach, Son & Co., No. 7 Barclay Street, New York.
Under the able editorial management of Mr. James Hogg, this journal is doing excellent service in the interest of gardening and fruit culture. It contains each mouth a large amount of interesting and valuable matter, characterized, in the main, by a directness of statement and common-sense that quickly win the confidence of the reader, and assure him that he is in the hands of a safe and competent instructor. From the thirty-two titles in the last number, the following may be taken as a fair sample of the variety and practical character of the subjects treated: "Insects injurious to Room-Plants," "Fresh-Water Aquaria," "The Artistic Influence of Flowers," "Tropical Scenery," "About Ferns," "The Truffle," "Stillingia Sebifera, or Tallow-Tree," "The Carolina Poplar," "Watering Plants," and "Thinning out Fruit."
Birds of the Northwest. By Elliot Coues, M. D., U. S. A. 791 pages. Washington: Government Printing-Office, 1874.
The basis of the present volume is mainly an unpublished report prepared by the author, in 1862, upon the ornithological collections made in the Missouri region by the naturalists of the expedition under Captain Reynolds, and afterward extended so as to embrace the ornithological results of previous explorations, in 1856-'57, by Lieutenant Warren, in the region of the Upper Missouri, Yellowstone, and Platte Rivers. In 1872 Dr. Hayden, U. S. Geologist, expressed to the author his desire to publish a treatise on the ornithology of the Western Territories, which he had explored. Dr. Coues undertook the task of elaborating the material collected since the writing of his original report, and the whole result is published in the book now before us, which is believed to be fairly abreast of the present state of the science. To bring the work within the compass of a single volume, and to give it a distinctive character apart from the general work on "North American Ornithology" in preparation by Profs. Baird, Brewer, and Ridgway, its scope is restricted to the Missouri region. The birds of this region, like most others of North America, having been repeatedly and sufficiently described, text of this technical kind has been omitted as a rule, to make room for fresher matter of more general interest, but particular plumages, not yet well known, are described. The distribution of the species, their residence or migration, and their abundance or scarcity, are worked out, not only within the region indicated, but throughout the general area they inhabit. All the species at present known to inhabit this region are given, and represent a large majority of the birds of North America. The author is brief in the cases of the best known Eastern birds, in order to devote more space to the history of species upon which less has already been written. Three families, Laridæ, Colymbidæ, and Podicipidæ, are made the subjects of special monographs.
The Elements of Embryology. By Michael Foster, M. D., and Francis M. Balfour, M. A. London: Macmillan, 1875. 272 pages. Price, $2.25.
This is the first installment of a systematic introduction to the study of embryology. For the sake of making the first steps in this interesting branch of science as easy as possible, the authors consider in the present volume only the embryogeny of the common fowl. The development of the chick once mastered, the study of other forms becomes an easy matter. The work consists of nine chapters, with an Appendix. In Chapter I. we have a description of the egg, and an account of the changes which take place up to the beginning of incubation. Chapter II. is a summary of the history of incubation. The other chapters, down to the ninth, indicate the changes which occur from the first day of incubation down to the end of that process. Chapter IX. is on the development of the skull. In the Appendix are given practical instructions for studying the development of the chick.
Improvement of Health. By James Knight, M. D. 406 pages. Price, $1.50. New-York: G. P. Putnam's Sons, 1875.
This is the second edition of this book on the improvement of health by natural means, including a history of food and a consideration of its substantial qualities. The work opens with a statement of the various unfavorable influences that tend to the enervation of the physical powers of parents; and this is followed by an outline of man's organization, development, and proper sustenance, and by an elucidation of the relations which exist between the vegetable and animal kingdoms, whence his subsistence is obtained. The book contains few cuts, and these are poorly made.
Catechism of the Locomotive. By M. N. Forney, M. E. 600 pages, 12mo. Price, $2.80. New York: The Railroad Gazette. 1875.
The object of this book is to furnish a clear and easily-understood description of the principles, construction, and operation, of the locomotive-engine of the present day, a subject not concisely or adequately treated in any one similar book. It is intended not only as a hand-book for all classes of mechanics and railroad-men, but as a readable book of practical information for amateur engineers, students, and general readers. The headings of a few chapters taken at random are: "The Steam-Engine;" "Forces of Air and Steam;" "General Description of a Locomotive-Engine;" "Different Kinds of Locomotives;" "Accidents to Locomotives;" "Responsibility and Qualification of Locomotive Runners." The subjects presented are treated simply and plainly, in the form of question and answer, of which there are 563. The book is illustrated by 230 woodcuts and many plates.
A New Treatise on Elements of Mechanics. By John W. Nystrom, C. E. 352 pages, 8vo. Price, $4.00. Philadelphia: Porter & Coates, 822 Chestnut Street. 1875.
This new treatise on mechanics has for its object the establishment of strict precision in the meaning of dynamical terms, and the classification of physical quantities into elements and functions. It is written for students of mechanics, by a practical engineer; and the terms adopted in it are those used in the machine-shop, rejecting the ideal vocabulary heretofore used in text-books and colleges; thus the author rejects such terms as "efficiency of force," "working force," "quantity of motion," "mechanical power," "mechanical effect," "energy," etc., as having no definite meaning, or being redundant expressions meaning "force," "power," or "work." The first 56 pages treat of "Statics," and the next 221 pages are given to "Dynamics." A short chapter on the "Dynamics of Sound," a chapter on the "Mechanics of Astronomy," and an Appendix elucidating a duodenal system of arithmetic, measures, weights, and coins, complete the work, the whole of which is illustrated by 242 woodcuts.
Familiar Lectures about the Teeth. By Henry S. Chase, M. D. 68 pages, cloth. St. Louis: Gray, Baker & Co.
The contents of this neat little publication are designed particularly to enable mothers to understand and take care of the growth of children's teeth. The author first gives several illustrations with descriptions, showing the position of the teeth in the jaws, together with the usual time of appearance of the milk-set and permanent set of teeth. He then treats of the structure of the teeth, the changes they undergo, and the nutrition which they demand, the same as other parts of the body. The food must furnish bone-material as well as flesh-material. Phosphate of lime gives hardness to the teeth and bones, but it must be organized by a plant before it becomes fit food for an animal: "Artificial salts will not nourish the teeth by being taken as food; yet some persons have recommended that they be put into bread for that purpose." Other subjects are "Early Growth of the Teeth," "Infants' Teeth," "Dental Decay," "Children's Teeth," "The Six-Year Molars," "Plugging Teeth," "Effects of Medicine on the Teeth," "Diseases of the Teeth," "Extraction of Teeth," and "Artificial Teeth." The book is a good one, and will fully repay an attentive perusal.
A New Manual of Physiology. By Prof, Küss. Boston: James Campbell, 1875. 531 pp., 12mo. Price, $2.50.
The contents of this volume are a course of lectures on physiology, delivered by Prof. Küss, at the Medical School of the University of Strasbourg; edited by Mathias Duval, M. D., of the Medical Faculty of Paris; and translated by Robert Amory, M. D., formerly Professor of Physiology at the Medical School of Maine. The object of the work, as stated in the preface, is to supply the want of an English text-book in which the functions of living tissue are closely compared and combined with its texture; or, in other words, a book wherein the relations of physiology to histology are carefully presented; for, while there are many good works on physiology, to which the student can refer for a knowledge of the subject, a concise treatise, within the limits of the means of medical students, has been a want hitherto supplied only by treatises in French or German. The book is embellished with 150 woodcut illustrations.
Report of the Commissioners of Lunacy to the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. Boston, January, 1875.
This pamphlet of 76 pages contains the separate Reports of the Commissioners, Nathan Allen and Wendell Phillips, to which is added, in an appendix, a letter to the Commissioners by S. E. Sewall. The Report gives the number of insane in the State as, approximately, 3,624, but the Commissioners are persuaded that, if more thorough measures were taken for ascertaining the number, they would exceed four thousand.
We observe with pleasure the addition of four pages to the Engineering and Mining Journal, edited by Richard P. Rothwell, C. E., M. E., and Rossiter W. Raymond, Ph. D. Heretofore its weekly issue consisted of sixteen pages, now it is twenty. But, besides enlarging, the publishers announce their intention of otherwise adding to the value of the journal. Thus they will make more liberal use of engravings to illustrate subjects of professional interest, and questions of practical importance in mining, metallurgy, and gas-engineering, will receive special attention. Another new departure, something in the nature of Notes and Queries, is announced, and cannot fail to enhance the value of the paper. It is the publishers' desire to have their pages used as a" "medium for asking and giving information on subjects connected with mining and metallurgy, or general science." Subscription, $4.00. Publication-office, 21 Park Place, New York.
International Scientific Series.—If the last volume of this series, on "Fungi," be thought somewhat remote from the urgent solicitudes of the American mind, no such objection can be urged against the contribution of Prof. Jevons to this series, now in press, entitled "Money and the Science of Exchange." Prof. Jevons is not only a logician of originality and eminence, and author of a recent profound work on the "Principles of Science," but he is a professional student of political economy, and the author of important works upon this subject also. He brings a disciplined mind and a comprehensive knowledge of the subject to the discussion of that important branch of economical science which deals with currency, and may be expected to give in his new volume a clear and compact statement of the subject, as far as its scientific principles have been worked out. Such a volume cannot fail to be useful in this country, where the interest in money is so intense as to be surpassed only by the general ignorance of its nature, offices, and laws.
"The Unseen Universe."—Under this title an anonymous work will be shortly issued from the press of Macmillan, treating of the religious bearings of the most advanced science, in such a way as to arouse the interest of both scientific and religious thinkers. Since its announcement the work has been anxiously looked for, and there is much speculation as to its authorship.

LA PAZ, Bolivia — Bolivian President Evo Morales went to Cuba on Wednesday for emergency treatment of a persistent throat problem following "major complications," his government said.
Presidential Minister Ruben Martinez told journalists that Morales left after a Cabinet meeting, but he gave no details on Morales' condition. The president's voice has been hoarse in public appearances in recent weeks and Morales has said he had a cold.
The 57-year-old leader
Morales had nasal surgery done by Cuban doctors in 2009, but the procedure was conducted at a clinic in Bolivia's capital.

The Greater Noida Industrial Development Authority (GNIDA) had proposed to revise its building bylaws and enhance the FAR in February 2015. The Authority also sought objections to and suggestions on the modified plan from the local residents. Following this, the proposal was forwarded to the state government for approval. With the cabinet's nod, the GNIDA now expects the notification to come through in the next 15 days.
A gazette notification was issued in March 2015, which has already cleared a 0.5 increase in the permissible FAR within a 500-metre radius of existing and proposed Metro corridors in Noida.
According to officials, once the gazette notification is issued declaring the increases of FAR in Greater Noida the sale of the additional realty space is expected to go up and generate Rs 3,500 to Rs 4,000 crore. This amount will be used for funding the Noida-Greater Noida Metro track, which is under construction. It will also be used to improve the Metro infrastructure besides funding the Noida Metro Rail Company.
Authority officials said residential housing societies, commercial and public utilities would be built on the additional 1,000-metre area along the Metro corridor. Once the decision is notified in the gazette, the amendment will be applicable to all categories of land use, excluding residential plotted ones. Greater Noida's existing rule to buy FAR will be applicable while buying land in this additional area. Officials said the aim was to increase population density along Metro corridors and bring passengers within walking distance of the stations.
