Pain, swelling, redness, warmth and restricted body movements are some of the cardinal signs of inflammation. If you're not yet familiar on what exactly this is, inflammation is an immune response activated by the body – and there are 2 kinds of inflammatory responses: acute and chronic.
Acute inflammatory response usually occurs when your body experiences trauma, or it's trying to fight off a certain infection. Generally, this type of inflammation doesn't cause any major negative side effects to your health.
Chronic inflammation on the other hand can cause more health problems than you may think. This type of inflammation can run for a very long period of time and this condition is usually left unnoticed. It stems from various reasons, the major causes being an unhealthy diet, a low-grade but long-infection, or a poor immune system.
At the beginning, a low-grade yet chronic inflammation may seem harmless. In fact, you might barely notice it at all! But through time, this kind of inflammation can show up in many forms of health issues like arthritis, a bloated abdomen, obesity, pre-diabetic symptoms or type-2 diabetes, heart conditions, and even cancer.
Because inflammation is carried out by messenger cells, it goes around all over your system and can potentially affect other tissues and organs in your body. This is why there is a need for you to break this cycle because chronic inflammation can lead to the death of some of your cells and tissues.
For men, chronic inflammation can create the visceral fat called beer belly. But the truth is, you don't necessarily have to drink beer to get this kind of fat accumulation in your mid-section. There are studies stating that the beer belly is caused by leaky gut syndrome – an inflammation in the gut.
On top of an unhealthy lifestyle and poor diet choices, this contributes to the accumulation of fat that's surrounding your digestive system organs. Fat accumulation can be found around your liver, intestines and even kidneys. So, it is very possible for you to be thin overall, but still have a beer belly.
Believe it or not, the steps for controlling inflammation has a lot to do with your diet. Merely eating food rich in starch and sugar can suddenly inflame an old injury you had. Clues such as this one can tell you that your body is having an inflammatory reaction. Other clues include feeling swollen, distended or bloated.
Below are the worse two foods that are known to be pro-inflammatory and you should try to stay away from them as much as possible:
- Sugar and Starches – sugars, including natural ones like fructose as well as artificial ones, can be pro-inflammatory especially when taken in large amounts.
- Processed Food – processed food contains a lot of sugar, salt and saturated fats produced industrially. These ingredients alone can start fumes in your body.
As much as some food can wreak havoc in the body and immune system, there are also foods that can naturally repair and control inflammation. Here are a few examples:
- Fermented Food – Adding good bacteria to your diet can help detoxify it. Doing so will help inhibit inflammation in the gut. There are 2 ways wherein you can help restore the healthy flora of your digestive tract – first, you can eat more fermented foods like yogurt, natto, kimchee. Second, you can take probiotic supplements regularly.
- Food Rich In Antioxidant – Colorful berries, green leafy vegetables, black coffee and green tea are just a few ingredients you can include in your diet to help fight oxidative damage. By taking in more antioxidants, you will help neutralize the free radicals in your body that are also causing the inflammation.
- Take Anti-inflammatory Supplements – If you're having difficulties in staying healthy and in good shape, the best way to treat chronic inflammation is by taking some dietary supplements. The health benefits of turmeric curcumin supplements have been demonstrated in recent research papers among those who are suffering from this kind of health issue. You can also check out other herbal remedies and there are many brands out there to choose from.
- Protective Oil – Protective oils include coconut oil, organic palm oil and avocado oil. These are rich in omega-3 fatty acids that are also anti-inflammatory in nature. Eating cold-water fish such as salmon, sardines and mackerel a few times a week can give you the omega-3 you need. If you wish to skip this, you can take fish oil supplements instead as well.
To control your inflammation, you must pay more attention to the kind of lifestyle you have. Are you exercising? Are you eating right? These are the questions you need to ask yourself every day to make sure that you avoid possible health issues that could have catastrophic long-term effects.

Impinging jets of various configurations are used in numerous industrial processes because of their highly favorable heat and mass transfer characteristics. Impinging jets provide much higher convective heat and mass transfer rates than those with the same amount of gas flowing parallel to the target surface.
The heat transfer coefficient for the typical application of impinging jets including many heating, cooling and drying processes is a few times higher than that of a cross circulation dryer. Moreover, impinging jets provide the potential of fine and fast control of local transfer rates by varying operating parameters such as the jet velocity and size of the nozzle opening. Depending upon the application, either slot or round jets, single or multiple jets and single phase or gas-particle two phases can be selected in impinging jets. The major applications of impinging jets include photographic films and paper, annealing of nonferrous metal sheet and glass, internal cooling of the leading edge of turbine blades, etc. Figure 1 shows the flow regions of a single semi-confined impinging jet. In the potential core region, the axial velocity remains almost the same as the nozzle exit velocity. In the impingement region, the static pressure increases as a result of the sharp decrease in mean axial velocity.
Although the basic heat and mass transfer in impinging slot jets can be shaped by the flow field, the effects of numerous parameters, such as nozzle geometry and size, nozzle configuration, location of exhaust ports, nozzle-to-target spacing, surface motion, and operating variables such as cross flow and jet axis velocity, complicate the analysis.
Geometry Creation:
Geometry is created in Design Modeler. The jet inlet diameter D was 0.05 m, and the distance between the jet inlet and the wall H was 0.10m, resulting in an H/D ratio of 2.
Meshing is created in ANSYS according to the following parameters.
No. of Division = 1200 × 90 cells, Mesh Type: Quadrilateral.
Thereafter the name selection for the configuration has been done as: inlet, outlet, plate, adiabatic.
Figure 3: Cut Section View Of Meshing
Figure 4: Name Creation
Boundary Conditions:
The Boundary Conditions used are as follows:
Inlet Velocity = 10 m/s, Temperature = 2273 K
Bottom Temperature = 673 K
Outlet Pressure = 180 x 105 Bar
Turbulence Model = K- epsilon
Temperature Contour:
Velocity Contour:
Velocity Vector:
Nusselt Number:
Results for the heat flux distribution along the wall are presented in terms of the Nusselt number (Nu) distribution. The Nusselt number is calculated as Nu=hD/K. where the heat transfer coefficient h is determined as qw = (TJ-Tw). With qw being the wall heat flux. K is evaluated at the jet temperature at the inlet (Tj) consistent with the reference temperature used in the evaluation of the jet Reynolds number.
Future Work:
The main aim of this research has been to assess the ability of computational fluid dynamics to accurately and economically predict the heat transfer rate in an impinging jet situation strongly relevant to industrial applications e.g. in electronic cooling.
The influence of parameters of interest such as nozzle to plate distance Reynolds number geometry of the impingement surface or confinement has been shown to be well captured. In comparison the widely used k - ɛ model does not properly represent the flow features highly over predicts the rate of heat transfer and yields physically unrealistic behavior.
It is planned to perform additional computations to cover a wider range of parameters (e.g. 3D configurations and a range of Prandtl numbers). In particular for electronic cooling applications, dielectric liquids in confined jet geometry and multiple jets configurations need to be explored.

Just Transition: "Safe Space" for a socially just energy transition
The Alter Summit working group "Just Transition" invites trade unionists and organizations of the climate change movement working on "Just Transition" to a workshop in Brussels, to exchange views on a socially just energy transition.
The objectives of the workshop are:
To share approaches and views on a socially just energy transition, and to better understand where these approaches and views resemble, complement and differentiate.
To offer an opportunity in a "safe space" (a room for respectful and honest exchange), to better understand the respective realities and views, to overcome eventual misunderstandings and to reveal eventual blind spots.
This workshop is intended to initiate a longer process of building trust and exploring under which conditions trade unions and climate justice organizations can promote a common agenda for a socially equitable energy transition.
Political representatives are also invited to this workshop to allow discussions on a socially just energy transition to be integrated into the debates of the progressive political parties.
At the workshop, follow-up activities will be discussed, for example an event at the European Summer University of Attac, an event at the alternative summit during the COP23 in Bonn, and others.
Workshop in Brussels:
Wednesday, June 21, 2017, 10:00 a.m. - 4:30 p.m.

Which will be The Best Zinus Mattress to Buy?
Zinus is a giant in mattress plus it has existed since 1979. It initially focused on outside equipment like tents, sleeping bags and much more. Early in this century they started to focus on products that were indoor as well, including mattresses. The organization has many facilities across the world which manages mattress generation. Zinus bed frame There is also headquarters and distribution centers in California. They are a Better Business Bureau accredited company with an A rating according to their website.
The name Zinus isn't that well known but the firm also manufactures other names which you may have heard such as Sleep Master Spa Sensations, Night Therapy, Best Price Mattress and others. .. In comparison to numerous other memory foam mattresses on the market today Zinus mattresses tend to be relatively affordable. That is perhaps related to them being more or less direct and also the company does not spend the type of money on promotion that you'll see with the larger brands. Moreover, the product is made offshore and takes advantage of lower costs.
One example of mattress that Zinus makes is Zinus Memory Foam Green Tea Mattress. We needed to find out more, when we read in regards to a mattress. We have several cups every morning and are big fans of green tea. Green tea is packed with antioxidants which reduce free radicals within the body and protect cells from damage. Research also indicates that brain function, physical performance enhances and certainly will even lower the risk of a number of diseases. We were wondering what does this beverage have to do using a mattress and just adore the taste as well as the aroma?
This really is an especially useful feature for memory foam mattresses which are infamous for having a strong chemical odor.
The mattress is very popular at the moment. The top layer is memory foam which is made to conform to your own body. The next layer is relaxation foam which offers a level of pressure relief. The next layer is Airflow high-density foam which supplies stability, resilience and support. The mattress even offers a fabric cover that is knitted that is soft.
With regard to the feel of the mattresses, it is very much a matter of inclination. Nevertheless it is also a function of the way you sleep. Generally, the thicker the mattress the more plush it feels and the 10-12 inch mattresses feel just a little softer and really are a good fit for back and side sleepers. The mattress that is shorter 8 inch is a better fit for a back sleeper and tends to feel a bit firmer.
They've received a lot of good evaluation on the internet.

The original title was "Fuck Knows" but then that's not terribly commercial is it! ;-p
The track was built for the animation - I recorded the core piano and video track in early November 2013 and sent it to SAmi to play with. I don't know what his process is but the end result always looks amazing.
The funny thing is, nobody actually uses the visuals when they're working, but with YouTube as the primary music distribution channel, you've got to have something cool for people to look at so that ultimately they might listen to you.
These visuals are from SAmi , they're synced to the music. If you do chose to watch the video, they're pretty cool!
Thanks SAmi.

US hopes Crimea reaction to deter China
Washington (AFP) April 03, 2014 – A senior US official voiced confidence Thursday that the global response to Russia's annexation of Crimea would have a "chilling effect" that deters China from contemplating similar action.Since Russia seized Crimea last month, US lawmakers and Asian diplomats have asked about the message sent to an increasingly confident China — especially with regard to Taiwan, which is claimed by Beijing and relies on US support.
Testifying before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, Danny Russel, the assistant secretary of state for East Asia, said that sanctions imposed on Russia were being watched by China, whose economic growth is driven by exports.
"It is fair to say… that the extent of Chinese interdependence in economic terms with the United States and with its Asian neighbors is such that the prospect of the kind of incremental retaliatory steps that are gradually being imposed on Russia… should have a chilling effect on anyone in China who might contemplate the Crimea annexation as a model," Russel said.
Russel also pointed to effects on Beijing's neighbors, saying that "tolerance in the region for steps by China that appear to presage a more muscular approach has gone down" due to alarm over the Crimea annexation.
Republican critics of President Barack Obama have charged that US credibility is on the line over Crimea, which had longstanding links with Russia.
"I would venture to guess that the similarities for the Taiwanese (are) pretty striking," said Senator Marco Rubio, a prominent Republican.
China considers Taiwan, whose government was founded by the mainland's defeated nationalists in 1949, to be part of its territory awaiting reunification, by force if necessary.
The United States switched recognition to Beijing in 1979 but also passed a law that requires Washington to provide Taiwan with weapons sufficient for its self-defense.
China has seen growing friction with Japan, the Philippines and other neighbors over contested territories. However, relations have been comparatively warm between Beijing and Taipei under Taiwan's President Ma Ying-jeou, who has sought closer economic ties.
Russel applauded Ma and China for improving relations. But he said that the United States did not take a position on a service trade pact, which has brought hundreds of thousands of opponents to the streets in Taipei.
Calling Taiwan a "very robust democracy," Russel called on protesters to avoid violence and said that any deal needs to be "in accord with the comfort level and wishes" of people in Taiwan and China.
President Barack Obama gained great notoriety with brilliant speeches in Berlin during his first run for office and in Cairo after his 2008 election. Since then, like the absence of real strategic thinking by his administration regarding foreign policy, this great rhetoric has been missing in action. With Russia's takeover of Crimea and the prospects for a new cold or at least cool war non-trivial, the time for a great speech is at hand.
What might the president say? In summary terms, he might lay out a vision for the future. The central theme for this vision is what to do post-Crimea. In that regard, the president must focus on the opportunities for game changing actions.
"Fellow citizens of the United States and the world. We are brought together by Russia's actions to seize Crimea and now mass thousands of troops on Ukraine's borders. To many, this aggression provokes fears of an end to the post-Cold War era by disregarding well established borders based on the false premise of protecting ethnic minorities, in this case Russian. To others, Russia's actions demand strong Western responses to protect Ukraine and smaller eastern and southern European states not under NATO's umbrella.
I have a different view. If Russia is to be part of the international community of nations and improving the well-being of her citizens is important, then isolation cannot be a desirable outcome. Yet, that sad and tragic state is exactly where Moscow may be headed. We need to work together to prevent that isolation from occurring. But that requires cooperation and not confrontation from Russia.
Publics need to be reminded of these consequences for Russia and also of certain facts, some of which I am saddened to say are forgotten or ignored even in my own country. Some argue that like Crimea, the Baltics and even southern European member states of NATO are at risk to Russian aggression. These critics miss a profound difference. The Baltics, Poland, Hungary, the Czech Republic, Romania and Bulgaria along with twenty other NATO members are signatories of the Washington Treaty. Ukraine, Moldova and Georgia are not.
The foundation of the NATO treaty is Article V. Article V states that an attack against one is an attack against all. From Norway, Latvia, Estonia and Lithuania in the north to Romania and Turkey to the south, the U.S. absolutely stands by that moral and legal commitment on mutual defense. This reaffirmation is meant as reassurance to allies and not provocation to others. And make no mistake: in quiet and low key but effective ways, the U.S. is taking actions along with other allies to reinforce Article V.
Some demand sending anti-ballistic missiles to Europe. I wish they would read the news. The U.S. is already deploying anti-ballistic missiles to Poland and Romania as well as permanently assigning four U.S. Navy Aegis destroyers with anti-ballistic capable missiles aboard to the Mediterranean. These missiles were not deployed against Russian strike systems. However, their presence is a strong expression of continued and unwavering commitment to the defense of Europe.
What else can be done? Two major opportunities are potential game changers. The first is TTIP or the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership. The second is negotiations with Iran to end its nuclear ambitions. Success in both will greatly advance movement to improve global peace, prosperity and security.
Regarding TTIP, this agreement will free up markets on both sides of the Atlantic for goods, services and investment. By most accounts, this will add hundreds of billions of dollars and euros to the GDP's of the Atlantic community. This package needs to be approved as soon as possible even though I recognize that part of the oppostion resides in our own Congress by those who wrongly believe that TTIP will jeopardize American jobs. That is not true. And the best argument is to approve the treaty and count the benefits.
Second, negotiations with Iran to prevent Tehran from achieving any nuclear weapons ambitions will be an extraordinary breakthrough. We understand the difficulties of this negotiation. However, the benefits for Iran and the world at large are too great to defer any attempt at agreement. And, in the meantime, Iran has voluntarily accepted limits on its production of fissile fuel as negotiations continue.
As Dickens wrote in A Tale of Two Cities, "It was the best of times, it the worst of times." That formula applies today. But we have it within reach to make this the better if not best of times. We cannot fail but to try."
One hopes Mr. Obama is up to the task. But we shall see.

This is a guest post from travel bloggers and Fungi Academy volunteers www.TakeEachDay.com.
Mushroom cultivation workshop at Fungi Academy
Every Tuesday, high in the hills above Lake Atitlan, the Fungi Academy holds a mushroom cultivation workshop. Our mission is to educate and inspire an international crew of budding shroomers in the art of cultivating their own fungi. You don't need any prior knowledge to attend, just a desire to know more about mycelium and start your own mushroom making.
What's involved in the mushroom workshop?
The mushroom cultivation workshop is in two parts. First, a morning session to get acquainted with these amazing organisms and learn about the theory behind cultivating mushrooms. In the afternoon, there's a practical session where you can test out different growing methods in the lab.
In the classroom
You couldn't ask for a more picturesque classroom than the yoga room at Fungi HQ with its panoramic views over the lake. Here is the perfect setting to learn about the fascinating role of mushrooms within our ecosystem. To begin, the session explores the symbiosis that exists between mycelium and every species of plant and animal life on earth.
Eats everything
Mushrooms are the original proponents of the 'See food, eat it!' diet. These incredible organisms can eat pretty much anything. In fact, there are varieties of mushroom that can digest stone (perhaps even providing a theory for the origin of biological life on our planet). Last year, scientists discovered a variety of fungus living in the Amazon that can survive solely on polyurethane plastics. And that's not the only way that mushrooms could save our planet.
Did you know..?
Here are just a few of the incredible facts you'll discuss in detail at the mushroom workshop:
- The largest known organism on earth is a mushroom! The parasitical honey fungus Armillaria solidipes in Oregon is the size of 1,665 football fields and has completely devoured the surrounding forest.
- The terrifying cordyceps mushroom infects colonies of ants turning them into 'zombies' that climb up as far as they can. Once they have reached their destination, the cordyceps sprouts nightmarishly from the ant's head. From here, they begin to infect and wipe out entire colonies.
But these examples only highlight the role of mushrooms in our ecosystem: to regulate species and ensure that that none can become too powerful. Indeed, experts refer to the 'internet' of mushrooms that underpins nature, sending nutrients through ecosystems to ensure all plants and animals have what they need.
In The mushroom workshop lab
After a hearty community lunch (usually vegan fare here at the Academy) the students have the chance to get their hands dirty in the lab. In fact, they will spend a lot of the time getting their hands clean and sterile – one of the crucial elements required to cultivate mushrooms in a lab environment. The highlight is trying to create a mycelium culture grow jar with your disembodied, gloved hands floating around inside the sterile box. It's a great challenge for your coordination skills!
One of the best things about the workshop is seeing how achievable growing mushrooms back home could be. With a little investment in the right kit and some practice, you'll learn how your spare room, shed or attic could yield a nice little crop.
As nature intended
The final lesson for the day is how to cultivate mushrooms in a natural environment. In reality, this test is a little more physical. First, students need to drill a small hole into a log, then fill it with culture before sealing with a little beeswax. This method is easier in the sense that the environment doesn't need to be sterile. But the results require a little more patience. The log will start to grow fruit – the mushrooms themselves – in a year.
Join the fungus among us!
What are you waiting for? Our mushroom cultivation workshop is held every Tuesday at 11am. It's open to anyone who wants to attend. Just get in touch with us and book a spot. Your fungi journey starts here!

Optimizely Plugin DOES NOT work in Wordpress version 4.5.2
Optimizely Plugin DOES NOT work in Wordpress version 4.5.2
I uploaded the plugin into my wordpress site.
I created my API and have tried to install it into the plugin in my wordpress dashboard, but there's NOT an Optimizely dashboard.... only this line of copy "Optimizely is almost ready, you must first add your API in the Configuration Tab"
When I click the "configuration tab" link, I get no response.
The URL in my browser, however, changes to this: http://www.dentalmarketinguniversity.com/wp-admin/admin.php?page=optimizely-config#tabs-2

The economics of the Bude Branch railway was closely tied with the transport of energy [in Bude's case coal for the Gas Works]. Does anybody know how the coal was shifted from railway wagon into the works??

Over the last couple of years, heel heights have been on the rise. The heel slowly rose to a height of 10-12cm, before gigantic platforms started being added by designers to beat the rest, in a competition to see who could make the highest heel. The late Alexander McQueen seems to have won that competition in late 2009, with the introduction of what was dubbed the 'armadillo' heel. A staggering 18cm (12 inches) in height, it's any wonder how the poor models who walked for him made it down the runway without breaking anything.
My grandmother continually remarks how ridiculously high the heels had become. And when I'm around her I'm usually only walking around in 8.5-10.5cm (3-4 inches) heels. I've been in love with some of the gorgeous 12cm platforms available for a while, but until the last few months I've never really been keen on them. My aversion of the 12cm heel was due to a couple of reasons.
Firstly, I had issues with walking in a platform. All the shoes I owned that contained a platform, I couldn't walk properly in. I seemed to need to have some part of my foot touching the ground. Or so I managed to convince myself.
The other reason I avoided a 12cm shoe with a platform was due to everyone else who wore them. These girls would totter through the nightclub strip, holding onto their male counterparts, often falling in the many cracks and grooves of the street, and it was clear as day to anyone watching that while the heel height gave them a very sexy leg line – they could by no means, gracefully walk in them. Because I can't be bothered with modesty, I will admit I have worked out how to walk with a fair amount of coordination and grace in heels. Although, this could be attributed to the fact I have 15 years of ballet under my belt; therefore, was taught to be stable on the balls of my feet from a young age. Still, I choose to avoid 12cm heels until very recently, for fear that 1 too many drinks would make me look like an idiot stumbling around in heels that are clearly too high.
However, I recently stumbled (not literally) across a cute pair of wooden platforms by Australian brand, Natasha, that were on sale at work and the heel height wasn't actually very high at all – if you don't include the platform it's only a 9cm heel. So I started wear them to work and after a few ankle-rolling-incidents, I had managed to find a way to walk in a platform. This then lead to the purchase of a pair of very cute Tony Bianco black suede heels with an in-built platform for the races, which I also worked out how to walk in over the past weekend. But while I have mastered the art of the 12cm heel with a platform, I was more than pleased when I saw the number of smaller heels in designers latest collections at fashion week this year.
The kitten heel and the mid-height heel have both managed to make a comeback. Beautifully designed and ridiculously comfy, the kitten heel came about in the 1950's as an alternative for young girls who would otherwise be frowned upon for wearing high heels. No more than 7cm in height, the heel commonly has a stiletto heel and a pointed toe. Mid-height heels are around the 7-8cm mark. The mid-height heel was the more common of the two at fashion week. They're elegant and a hot little number look for spring!
If you want to try one of these runway looks, Christian Louboutin has some gorgeous leopard -print wedges at the moment, with a heel height of 7cm. And trust me ladies, even a change from a 8.5cm heel to a 7cm makes a huge difference. 7cm heels are amazing! Not only can you stand in them all day (I tried it at work, running around in my little retail store, it was like wearing flats), but they give you just the right amount of added height. In fact, if you check out Net-A-Porter.com you'll notice he has quite the collection of the 7cm heel. Other designers bringing sexy back with the mid-height heel are Lanvin, Marni, Valentino and more.
But at the moment, small heels at the moment are lacking in supply. Especially in Australia. And if you do happen to stumble across an abundance somewhere, chances are they will be for the older market and unattractive, boring designs. But since they have only just hit the catwalk at fashion week's around the globe, it could be a while before they hit the market. Especially Australia, who are a season behind the rest of the world in fashion. Therefore, I'm expecting not to see any kitten and mid-height heels in my city for a solid year or two. In the mean time, keep searching for some cute heels that won't break your neck or back and don't forget it's not the high of the heel but how you wear them that counts!

5/23/08 07:45 pm - Two unrelated notes
First, a toast to Robert Asprin. I only read nearly all his books -- and met him at the GaFilk he attended (where he proved to be a -consumate- performer), but regardless of his foibles (which I've heard about, but never seen), he had a greatness, and shall be mourned. This...has been a very bad year. I'm very glad years like this are uncommon, and I wish they were moreso.
Also, I've been thinking about the complaint about lack of (direct) competition in Race for the Galaxy. It's curious; the game is clearly highly competitive -- stronger players will win far more games, and other players' choices -- and correctly predicting and taking advantage of/countering those choices -- has a huge impact on the game. On the other hand, the game doesn't have -direct- competion -- there's no way to attack a player's positition after you identify them as a threat, nor are there limited resources (like the captain slots, trade slots, plantations, limited buildings, and extra colonists of Puerto Rico) for the players to squabble over. But here's the thing: the skills involved in direct competion in a multiplayer game -- threat evaluation, defensive play, etc -- aren't the only interesting skills in multiplayer games. Moreover, in some ways, the similarities between broad classes of direct competiition makes them more similar than different -- there are many ways that all auction games are alike, Lunch Money, Shadowfist, Illuminati, Munchkin, and "kill Dr Lucky" are far more similar than they probably should be, etc (I like Shadowfist a lot more than the others...but yeah, pretty much the same game wth different cards to evaluate and rules to compass). So maybe a rise in "indirect competition" games -- where threat evaluation skills and attack/defense allocation skills are comparatively irrelevant is a -good- thing -- because not all games need to be, or should be, the same game, or even belong to the same few broad categories of game.

In the popular religion of ancient Rome, though not appearing in literary Roman mythology, the god Fabulinus (from fabulari, to speak) taught children to speak. He received an offering when the child spoke its first words. He figured among what Walter Pater enumerated in Marius the Epicurean (1885) among:
the names of that populace of 'little gods', dear to the Roman home, which the pontiffs had placed on the sacred list of the Indigitamenta,[1] to be invoked, because they can help, on special occasions, were not forgotten in the long litany— Vatican who causes the infant to utter his first cry, Fabulinus who prompts his first word, Cuba who keeps him quiet in his cot, Domiduca especially, for whom Marius had through life a particular memory and devotion, the goddess who watches over one's safe coming home".[2]

Credit unions confirm new processor credit card breach
The Pennsylvania Credit Union Association and the Tuscaloosa, Ala. VA Federal Credit Union warn of a new payment processor data security breach.
A payment processor is in the process of identifying the extent of damage caused by a malicious program discovered in its systems exposing credit and debit card numbers.
MasterCard and Visa are issuing information to banks and credit unions about credit and debit card accounts that were exposed in the data security breach of a second payment processor in less than two months.
The Pennsylvania Credit Union Association and the Tuscaloosa, Ala. VA Federal Credit Union posted messages on their websites explaining that a breach investigation is ongoing. Both Visa and MasterCard are declining to name the processor while a forensics team investigates the breach. Investigators are also trying to find a link between the latest breach and the recently announced Heartland Payment Systems breach, a credit union official said under condition of anonymity.
Visa began releasing information to banks and credit unions about affected accounts on Feb. 9. A vulnerability left potentially thousands of credit and debit card numbers exposed for a period between February 2008 through January 2009, according to an alert issued by the Tuscaloosa VA Federal Credit Union.
"We have not been notified that any of our cardholders have fraudulent activity due to this compromise," the message stated. "While it has been confirmed that malicious software was placed on the processor's platform, there is no forensic evidence that accounts were viewed or taken by the hackers."
Credit union officials said it appears the breach is not as serious as the Heartland breach. Heartland announced Jan. 20 that its systems were compromised by a hacker in 2008. The breach forced hundreds of banks and credit unions to replace thousands of credit and debit cards. In the latest breach, only account numbers and expiration dates were exposed and it's unclear whether the exposed data was even accessed by a hacker.
The Pennsylvania Credit Union Association is advising its member credit unions to wait for further information before reissuing credit and debit cards. A person within that organization said that it comes down to the risk each individual credit union is willing to accept. Customers would not be responsible for fraudulent use of their credit or debit cards.

Over the weekend I went to Sephora armed with a giftcard and zero clue as to what I was looking for. After walking around for a bit and covering myself in endless swatches and glitter I came across the Becca Cosmetics display. I've swatched the highlighters before, but to be honest I never had much of interest in them. However, after assessing my makeup collection I decided I wanted another powder highlighter to add to it.
So, when I saw the beautiful highlighter / blush duos it was a no brainer to me; two products for the price of one? Yes please! I purchased Champagne Splits, which is a highlighter in the shade Champagne Pop and a blush in the shade Flowerchild.
I swatched these in the store and immediately made my friend swatch them as well. Both the highlighter and the blush are so buttery and smooth it's unbelievable. Both the highlighter and the blush have the same peach undertones so they complement each other beautifully. The highlighter is stunning, and catches the light in just the right way. I'm the type of person who says more is more when it comes to highlighter, and this one is perfect for that.
The blush is highly pigmented, so it's important to use a light hand when applying it to avoid looking like a clown. You'd be a cute clown, but still, best to avoid that look all together. I usually get the blush on my brush and then blow a bit off before applying it to my face. You can always add more blush but it's harder to take it away once it's already on your face.
You can find some great highlighters and blushes at the drugstore, but I think you'll be hard pressed to find anything that's comparable to this product. At $38 it's certainly more expensive than a drugstore product, but you get what you pay for.
Products I'm Wearing:
- L'Oreal Infallible Pro-Matte foundation
- Maybelline Fit Me concealer
- Rimmel Match Perfection concealer
- Ulta Mineral setting powder
- Coty Airspun loose setting powder
- Essence matte bronzing powder
- Becca Champagne Pop highlighter
- Becca Flowerchild blush
- Wet n Wild Photofocus eyeshadow primer
- e.l.f. eyebrow kit
- Ulta brow gel
- Nickak eyeshadow quad
- Urban Decay 24/7 Glide On Eye Pencil in Smoke
- Maybelline the Falsies mascara

The nice thing about a blog is that it gives me a place to really get on my "soapbox," when otherwise I wouldn't be able to. So here goes. =)
At this point in my life, almost more than anything else, there are 2 things that frustrate me and break my heart at the same time.
#1 - People whose health is declining, but for some reason they pay no attention or think their health problems will somehow take care of themselves. Their bodies continue to deteriorate, but they do nothing because they are either clueless or in denial.
(Lest you think I'm being harsh, let me just say that I used to be one of these people - until my health COMPLETELY collapsed, and I was forced to pay attention to my body's needs. I don't ever want to see someone I care about go through the same thing.)
#2 - People whose health has already collapsed (like me, like others with E.I.), but all the doctors they've been to have been little or no help, and they're left with little or no hope of ever getting well.
(I've been in this place too, and let me tell you it's NOT pleasant.)
If you are reading this and you are not 99% satisfied with your health and pysical functionability (I'm not sure 100% is possible on this fallen earth), then you are included in group #1.
What I'd like to say to you is - STOP! Right now. Be stil for a moment and listen to your body. What is it saying?
If you're tired a lot, have aches and pains, difficulty concentrating, etc. - please hear this: it's your body trying to tell you that something is wrong. If you ignore the messages your body is sending you, just keep going and hope it will somehow take care of itself, you're in for a rude awakening.
Everything that happens in your body has a CAUSE. I'm convinced that if more doctors were genuine detectives, we'd have a lot fewer sick people. Unfortunately, most of them just treat symptoms. They don't take the time to dig long enough to find the cause.
For example - one of my worst problems for years has been low or no adrenal function. When one doctor first noticed it, he said 'let's put you on this drug which makes the same thing your adrenal gland makes (cortisol) and then your adrenal gland can rest and you'll recover.'
I don't think so.
I'm still on that drug 7 years later and my adrenal function is worse now than it was when I started!
What he should have done was asked, WHY is your adrenal function low? Maybe it's because your body is overly toxic, thus making the adrenals work harder. Or maybe it's because there's a virus settled in your adrenal gland so it can't do it's normal function. (These are the conclusions I have come to after years, and with the help of a doctor who did finally diagnose me with a virus in my adrenal gland.)
There is a CAUSE for every ache, pain, symptom, and malfunction in your body. What can you do?
1) Write down every problem, complaint, or symptom you have.
2) Pray over that list. Ask God to show you what the cause is. It could be something you're eating (sugar is a known inflamatory, preservatives are toxic chemcials, etc.), or something in your environment (fresh paint, mercury detnal fillings, etc.), or an unhealthy habit (not enough sleep, not enough water, etc.), or even something else.
3) Then ask God to lead you to the answers that you need to help restore your health in HIS timing.
If you fit in group #1, please listen to me before it's too late (and you end up in group #2). - It's time to take responsibility for your own health, your own body, the temple of the Holy Spirit living in YOU! Please don't be clueless, and please don't live in denial. Please take better care of your body than you do of your car. =)
Now, for those people in group #2 - I feel your pain, my heart aches for you. But please hear this: There IS HOPE! I know what it's like to think no one would ever figure out what was wrong with me or how to treat my health problems effectively. But God, in His mercy, has brought me some answers at last!
This month I'll be sharing information about the things that are helping me, what I call the 4 D's:
No matter how hopeless you feel, there are answers out there. There are Christian doctors, researchers, and health care providers who are working to spread information and provide treatments that work. So please don't give up!
You can do the same things I suggested for group #1:
1) Make a list of your problems (or at least the most pressing ones).
2) Pray over the list asking God to lead you to the underlying causes.
3) Keep asking Him to lead you to the answers you need.
I really hope to see many people in group #1 finding answers, working hard for their bodies, and seeing their health improved. And I long to see those in group #2 finding the help they need and being delivered from the agony of life with E.I.
I pray by God's grace, that I will see these things happening soon.
(Then I can find a new 'soapbox.') =)
Thank you for listening.
I'm stepping down now. =)

Get ur freak on
Headbanger.. hit me, hit me, hit me, hit me
Missy Elliot ~ Get ur freak on ~
Nobody (or almost nobody) likes to study; I know I don't. But it's something we have to do, it's a natural and necessary part of our development as human beings, not just for your school or carreer. But just because you don't like it doesn't mean it has to become a drag; no way! You can make it acceptable at least, perhaps even rewarding. Studying should become a decent activity, here's what you should do.
Picture by sosarem
Learning is an unpleasant activity not just because it feels like you're wasting your time or stuff like that; in most cases, it's a subconscious response. That's just a clever way of saying that your brain thinks studying is bad. Why? Well because of our society; when parents punish their kids, they often make them study. Also, the feeling that it's too hard or pointless can actually make it pointless. If you want to learn something, you have to make yourself understand that first. Once you understand that you have to finish this and you stop kidding yourself, you're half way there.

So you've motivated yourself, you want to do this, you've got the right attitude… what now? Make sure you have the right books, reference, whatever, and put them in the right order. Learning things in the correct order will actually speed things up. Sounds like a paradox? Not really. It's just common sense; do it the wrong way and nothing will catch, and you'll just waste a lot of time. Go back to 1. if that's the case. Also, if you're using the Internet, be careful, cause there's a lot of wrong or partial information. Use the big boys (Wikipedia, Britannica, etc)for a bit more safety, but even there you'll find some small mistakes. So be careful with the learning material.

So you have the attitude, you have the learning material and still not learning? Well if the TV's on and the dog's barking there and that kind of stuff… it's really understandable. You need to find that learning place, that is different for different people. Whether it's quiet or filled with music, bright or darker, there should be no distractions (window, TV, pet, etc). Also, try to estimate your time – a realistic approach. If you don't have enough time…
4. Turn useless time into productive time!

Useless time can actually be… useful. Good all around tips here, but for studying, it's a bit different. You should especially pay attention to time used for transportation and bath time. When you're on the bus or other ways of transportation, try and do a quick recap (which by the way is really important) or read something new. When you're taking a bath, do a light read or something; nothing too big, because this way it won't spoil your relaxation. Also if you want to gain more time, you should know yourself. Know what's good for you, how you can focus, things like that. It's important that you find your own way of studying. Make notes, write down the most important ideas, listen to music, whatever gets you going. Also, it's really important to know if your auditive memory is better than your visual memory. If it is, it's definetly a good idea to read the stuff out loud, record it, and then listen to it. This can be a good idea even if it's not (you can apply it on the bus).
Photo by Fort Photo
Even when you feel like you're making progress, you have to do things all the way, otherwise it's your loss. Even if it feels like you know bits and pieces and you can put them together when needed, you shouldn't rely on that. Also, don't delay everything until the last moment, that won't get you very far. Start things right, work your way to the top, and be careful at the finish. That's what the champions do.

India's position in world getting stronger, PM Modi tells Indian diaspora
Male, June 09: India's image has tremendously transformed in the last five years, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said while interacting with the Indian diaspora in Sri Lanka at the India House here on Sunday.
"I thank the Indian community for coming to meet us here. It is always a delight to interact with the Indian diaspora," he said during his address.
He talked about the Indian elections, outlining how people have delivered a "clear-cut" mandate. "Democracy is a part of India's ethos...After independence, this is the largest voter turnout that the elections saw," he told the gathering.
One member from the gathering shouted "2030 Modiji!" during his speech, which invited laughter from the leader.
Modi in Sri Lanka: PM plants Ashoka sapling at President's House
"India's image in the world is tremendously changing. There is a very good image of India and the Indian diaspora here has done a tremendous work to prove it through their hard work. There are many Indians in every part of the world and I am sure there won't be any form of complaint against them," Modi said while addressing the gathering.
He said that India has achieved a lot in the last five years and much more will be done in the coming years.
"We have achieved a lot in the last five years and much more has to be done in the coming years. No stone will be left unturned to fulfil people's aspirations," he said.
Highlighting the relationship shared between the Indian government and the country's expatriates, he said, "I am happy to share that the Indian community overseas and the Government of India are on the same page when it comes to several issues."
Modi said it was a matter of pride that every leader he met during his foreign tours in the last five years appreciated the Indian diaspora residing in that nation.
Thanking the Indian citizens for the mandate the Bharatiya Janata Party received in the recently concluded general election, Modi appreciated the citizen's decision making and understanding.
"This is a matter of research for the entire world even if they keep talking a lot about the education and other parameters in India. They need to appreciate the democratic understanding of the Indians," he said.
"They must be wondering how was it possible to organise such a massive election with over 900 million voters," he said.
Modi arrived in Colombo from Maldives where he held wide-ranging talks with Maldivian President Ibrahim Mohamed Solih on Saturday.

Have you seen 'It's Complicated' yet? You know I love romantic comedies:)
This complicated and funny movie is from the same director(Nancy Meyers) of Something's Gotta Give which I loved that movie too. I laughed a lot when watching that movie!
'It's Complicated' has surprise ending. If you haven't seen this one yet, enjoy watching Oscar-worthy actors Baldwin and Streep in this fun movie! I enjoyed to watch this Meryl Streep movie much more than 'Mamma Mia'.

Our weekend was relaxing and yummy!!!
It was beautiful out here on Friday and Saturday.
It was delicious! Aria loved it.
After the school we hanged together around our house!
He's eating his lollipop he brought from the school:-)
and telling me about his day..
Somehow he can't talk without using his hands:-)
On Saturday, Aria and I went to the Venetian Shore Park
and enjoyed to spend a few hours together...
and enjoyed the warm sand..
Sun was shining brightly over the ocean...
The shore was beautiful and so relaxing...
When we got back home I baked a few eggplants and potatoes.
I got those baby eggplants last week. They were yummy!
Baked&Stuffed Eggplant;
Combine cubed tomatoes, cucumber, chopped scallion, parsley,
finely chopped Romain lettuce and stuff each eggplant with this mixture.
Drizzle with the dressing.
Dressing;Olive oil, garlic(minced), balsamic vinegar, salt, pepper.
It was delicious! Aria loved it.
Even though he is not a big fan of eggplant :)
Baked Potatoes;
We all love baked potatoes mixed with Parmesan cheese,
topped with a teaspoon whipped butter each
and sprinkled with chopped chives...
Mmmmmm that was a quick ride to heaven!!!

Today is Kids Holiday in Turkey. April 23 International Children's Day. It's one of my favorite Turkish Holidays. From all over the world kids go to Turkey, stay with Turkish families, have friends from every nations and show their national dances on TV. On this day, the children also replace the parliamentarians in the Grand National Assembly and hold a special session to discuss matters concerning children's issues.
When I told my son about this, he said; Wow, it's cool!!!
And next video is so cute, hope you like it!

Caring for Earth!
I always remind him to turn off the light before leave the bathroom.
He came from the school today, showed his 'Caring for Earth Book' to me he colored and went to the bathroom(as usual). He was washing his hands and said;
'Hey mom, let's not forget to turn off the light after use the bathroom.It's really important!' :))

I'm loving this heart-shaped fruit ;)
I got a lot of strawberries this week. My strawberries usually doesn't last long enough to do anything:) Hubby and I top them with whipped cream and eat them. Or I make strawberry sauce. Aria is not a big fan of strawberries.
I placed a single layer of strawberries in a container lined with a paper towel and sealed with the lid to keep them one week fresh. Lol, this week, I had more strawberries than we could eat.
Today I froze some of them. I didn't use any sugar or syrup. I washed, hulled and drained the strawberries. Then placed them on a cookie sheet lined with waxed paper.
Once frozen I put them into freezer bags.
And I used the rest of it to make this fresh strawberry sauce. I also make this simple sauce with frozen strawberries. I like to keep this sauce on hand so makes great topping on ice cream, yogurt, pancakes, waffles, desserts without sugar!
Clean strawberries and remove stems and cores. Put in a blender. Add vanilla and Splenda to desired sweetness and blend all ingredients until smooth. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving. You are done! Yummy!
When I was preparing strawberries Aria kept telling me about one of his favorite cartoon shows on TV. Adventure Time with Finn&Jake. Finn is a silly kid who wants to be a hero one day! Jake is his dog and his best friend. My son never misses an episode of their adventures and can't even wait to watch this cartoon every Monday!
Lol, the sauce was ready but Aria was still talking about last episode of this cartoon!!!

Singing all the way home!
I woke up hearing David Archuleta/Crush today again:). My son loves this song along with him and his other songs. He sings with him.
-Mom, I still need to work on this song..I don't know all the words!
-You sound good..What about your spelling words? Are you ready for the test?
-I'm trying to concentrate here!
-Yeah, yeah!
That is how I started my day this morning :)
The bus driver was smiling at us today! Lol, I didn't know he started to sing in the bus too...All the way home!!!
Maybe you remember, I wrote a review of Jergen Natural Glow Daily Moisturizer a little while ago. I just want you to know guys, I tried Jergen Natural Glow Express Body Moustrizer this week. And the result is as good as the other one. Plus it works faster. And I'm loving it!

How to Dump Workflows
How to Dump Workflows¶
To help you debug your workflows, you can dump a representation of your workflow
or state machine with the use of a
DumperInterface. Symfony provides 2
different dumpers both based on Dot.
Use the
GraphvizDumper or
StateMachineGraphvizDumper to create DOT
files, or use
PlantUmlDumper for PlantUML files. Both types can be converted
to PNG or SVG images.
Images of the workflow defined above:
1 2 3
// dump-graph-dot.php
$dumper = new GraphvizDumper();
echo $dumper->dump($definition);
1 2 3
// dump-graph-puml.php
$dumper = new PlantUmlDumper();
echo $dumper->dump($definition);
1 2 3 4 5
$ php dump-graph-dot.php | dot -Tpng -o dot_graph.png
$ php dump-graph-puml.php | java -jar plantuml.jar -p > puml_graph.png
# run this command if you prefer SVG images:
# $ php dump-graph-dot.php | dot -Tsvg -o dot_graph.svg
The DOT result will look like this:
The PUML result:
Inside a Symfony application, you can dump the files with those commands using
workflow:dump command:
1 2
$ php bin/console workflow:dump name | dot -Tsvg -o graph.svg
$ php bin/console workflow:dump name --dump-format=puml | java -jar plantuml.jar -p > workflow.png
dot command is part of Graphviz. You can download it and read
more about it on Graphviz.org.
plantuml.jar command is part of PlantUML. You can download it and
read more about it on PlantUML.com.

Last week, Yanukovych's hand picked parliament appointed a new education minister Dmytro Tabachnyk from the Party of Regions. Many are worried because of Tabachnyk's xenophobic Russocentric comments he's made in the past:
The appointment of Dmytro Tabachnyk as education and science minister of Ukraine became a downright shock – he is a politician who doubts the very Ukrainian identity, offering instead a concept of the unknown "Ukrainian-Russian culture."
In Tabachnyk's opinion, the law of Ukraine "on Holodomor of 1932-1933 in Ukraine" places our state "in the same line as the most repulsive totalitarian dictatorships." The minister for education and science thinks that "the desire to play little dirty tricks on the neighbor, betray, make something up to deceive another, a readiness to lose an eye if the neighbor goes completely blind are characteristics of the forming Ukrainian nation."
His dictums like "Halychyna residents are lackeys who have barely learned to wash their hands," who "practically have nothing in common with the people of the greater Ukraine in either mental, or confessional, or linguistic, or political sphere," as well as other statements about "the struggle between the two types of ethnic groups, Roman-Catholic-Halychyna and Russian-Orthodox" that is supposed to be happening on the territory of Ukraine make one wonder how can they possibly belong to a Ph.D. in history.

The fake cry. Every parent has heard it and knows in an instant when their child is pretending. I would say the same is true for good casting directors. They can spot a young actor pretending to feel something they don't.
Good actors communicate real emotions, not pretend ones. When a young actor plays a scene showing—but not connecting—to the emotional life of the character, he is often doing what we call "indicating." Here are some telltale signs of "indicating" that you want your young actor to avoid.
1. Fake emoting. Crying on cue may come naturally for some, but for many young actors, producing real emotion is an acquired skill. It's not the real tears that are of concern—that is what glycerin drops are for. Rather, it is finding and applying the honest emotional life of the character. Next time, encourage your child to recall a time in their life that may have made them sad, lonely, or angry. The use of imagination can be another powerful way to create a truthful circumstance. If the character is reacting to their parents divorce, how would the young actor feel if their parents actually divorced? This is a hard skill to master. Don't be discouraged if it takes a while to learn. Most young actors benefit from a trained acting coach or acting class to learn the necessary skills and let go of fake emoting habits.
2. Making generalizations. Casting directors commonly give this feedback to actors: "The actor was not specific enough." Unfortunately, this isn't very specific feedback! What the casting director means is that the actor isn't making interesting choices that relate to the character's objective. For example, I often see actors use hand motions—especially when singing—that have nothing to do with anything. The more the actor knows about the character, the more specific he can be when creating a non-obvious interesting audition or performance. Ask your young actor to incorporate facets of the character into their acting. Examples include hometown, upbringing, and social class. Consider who the character is speaking to and what he wants from that person.
3. Concentrating too much on the dialogue. Of course the lines are important—they tell the story. You don't your young actor to make mincemeat of them—especially if the writer is in the room. But make sure your young actor doesn't become a hostage to the dialogue either. It isn't about being right all the time. Tell them to let go of perfection and play what is real to them in the moment—even if it means dropping a word or line or paraphrasing.
4. Not speaking to the reader or other actor. Readers are hired to help the actor create reality. Make sure your child is focusing and speaking to the reader or other actor in the scene. I recall a young actor who entered the room in which I was participating as a judge for a talent competition. I said, "Hello," and her response was, "Hello ladies and gentlemen," as if she were addressing a crowd. As I tried to engage her, she was thrown because she obviously had been coached by someone to act as opposed to just being herself.
5. Not reacting. Acting should really be called reacting, not acting. What an actor does is in response to what someone else makes them do! Many times there is little dialogue but a lot of action in a scene. Listening is a basic skill in acting. How well your child is listening and reacting will create a more authentic performance.
I smile with pride whenever a casting director comments that one of my students is, "a natural." That tells me they have successfully drawn from their own emotional reality and applied it to the character. When young actors learn this and begin to search for authentic connections to their characters, they've learned the real first lesson of acting.
