Use Reserve books and books from the stacks after getting an overview by looking at a variety of encyclopedias and other reference sources. These books are very detailed, and if you start with a 400+ page book on the Silk Road, you will probably be very overwhelmed and confused! Remember: reference first.
Besides the main content of a book, the parts of a book itself can provide information useful for research. The main parts of a book include:
Table of Contents: An outline or breakdown of the different chapters of a book.
Bibliography: The list of works used in the research of the book; useful for finding more informaiton on a topic.
Index: The list of key words, often including people and place names, used in the book and the page numbers for where those words appear; typically the last section of a book. Useful for knowing whether a specific person or term is referenced within the book.
Other possible sections include:
Appendix: The part or parts of a book that provide additional information to the main text; usually found near the back of the book.
Glossary: The section that defines key terms used in the book; usually found near the back of the book.
Reference books don't provide all the answers. Eventually you are going to need to move on to other sources to get more details.That's where the books on reserve come in. The OWHL librarians and your teachers have already pre-selected a large selection of books that we feel are going to be the most useful to you. We know that a lot of you are going to want the same books, which is why you can only use them for 2 hours at a time.
If you want to find books that you can take back to your dorm, use the OWH Library catalog to find materials in the stacks. Anything that you get from the stacks can be checked out for 3 weeks.
Another type of secondary source is a scholarly journal article. These are much shorter than books, but also much more specific. You won't find a complete biography of Marco Polo in a scholarly journal article, but rather an analysis of a specific part of his life or work. Scholarly journal articles often have a thesis and a specific point of view, which is something to keep in mind as you read and take notes.
Here are two databases that contain scholarly journal articles:
You can also find some journal articles and secondary sources on websites.
However, not all websites are trustworthy and worthy of citation in your academic work. Be sure to consider who is responsible for a website, when and where it was created and updated, and for what purpose. Always ask your teacher or a librarian to vet a website before citing it in your paper.
Below are some websites with secondary source-type information that you can use in your research:

I remember doing things in 8th grade that would make most adults I know blush.
And while I have talked to my son openly about sex, sexuality, and relationships all of his life, I cannot help but remember that there are some things that teens just aren't prepared for.
But it's weird because whenever I think of one of these things, just as I am about to bring it up, I stop myself. It doesn't feel right to talk to my offspring about the finer points of proper fingering.
It was always okay to talk to him about sex as an abstract- some far off thing that he'd get around to some day. And I know he hasn't gotten there yet, and he may even wait for quite a while before he even starts kissing girls, but I find myself completely confused by just how much stuff I would have been better off knowing had an adult just had the balls to tell it to me.
Some of this stuff is so basic. Some of it seems cut and dry. Easy. But every one of the things on this list are things that I have tried to mention, but always stopped short at. Some of them probably seem a bit risqué, even for the EdenFantasys crowd. But, dammit, I think they're important. Not life threatening, but important.
This month's episode takes the focus away from my dating life. (Don't worry. I have plenty of dirt to dish on that.) Instead we look at five things I personally feel it would be good for a teen boy to know. There were some things that didn't make the list, like, "Vagina is an acquired taste." And "Sex doesn't automatically cause disease and babies.", because I have a feeling he has already read that in my book.
And who knows, maybe he'll google me some day and find this video, but I doubt it. We live in weird times, and technology makes stuff like that possible, but I don't think my name is at the top of his google list. His search history is mainly filled with junk about paintball. But just in case, "Son, this is your mother. Clean your room, and listen to these sex tips."

An update from Jen's mom (Gabi)
Shoo! It's been a very hectic time and we are way overdue for a detailed update which Jen has requested I write … so here goes!
Action needed …
The last three months have been worrying, busy and yet exciting times for our family. I have worked solidly to source and acquire what is necessary for Jen. Three months ago, when we realised that Jen was deteriorating regardless of the strict oral medication regime she is on, I reached out across the globe to foremost Pulmonary Hypertension experts in the field. Acknowledged as global "giants" in the PH community, these incredible doctors are hectically busy and sought-after which is why the dedicated commitment and support we have had from them came as such a surprise! Months and months of daily emails back and forth from USA, U K and Australia resulted in a dedicated "Team Jenna" that has grown in depth and knowledge to ensure the very best possible advice, care and treatment for Jenna and others PH sufferers in South Africa.
An expert team…
This finely-tuned expert team consists of two committed and formidable doctors in SA – Prof Paul Wilcox from UCT Academic Hospital (Jenna's daily care-giver) in Cape Town and Doctor Paul Williams at the MillPark hospital in Johannesburg. PLUS we now have on board the well-known Dr Anne Keogh from St Vincent's hospital in Sydney Australia; and expert PH Specialist Dr David Badesch from UC Denver Colorado in the States … with guidance and advice from my inimitable (and sadly experienced in this arena) sister- in-law, Shirley, I found these incredible experts, reached out to them with Jenna's story and began "herding" everyone towards a single goal… getting the right treatment for Jen.
A regular 5-way email 'info exchange' group to advise and collaborate on Jenna's treatment began. All Jenna's tests, blood reports, X-rays, MRI's, digital images, medical reports, scans etc were sent around the globe to numerous countries including Paris, the UK, Denver in the US and Sydney Australia. The result was a confirmed diagnosis that Jen has CTEPH – i.e. Chronic Thrombo-Embolic Pulmonary Hypertension. With me coordinating we had UK radiologists guiding a local team at the Constantiaberg on protocols for the very best Pulmonary CT Scan never before done in SA. Unfortunately results showed Jen is not a candidate for PEA surgery… however the fact remains that she needs aggressive treatment not available in SA.
What is required
The express opinion of Profs Badesch and Keogh is that Jenna urgently needs to be on a constant intravenous infusion called IV Epoprostenol / Flolan. Further research presented a few obstacles – Problem 1: It costs over one million rand a year; Problem 2: It's not available OR registered in SA; Problem 3: It requires Section 21 Medical Control Council approval; Problem 4: Once on it you cannot, ever (not even for a few minutes) come off it so the pipe line of supply needs to be secure and trustworthy; Problem 5: It is complicated, tricky and requires an expert who has worked with the drug numerous times before to titrate the medication.
I had my work cut out for me ….
Hours of research, networking, highlights, disappointments and obstacles have had to be overcome BUT I have excellent news to share … Due to the work Jenna has done to raise awareness of PH in South African, due to her high media profile, due to the song I NEED MORE TIME that has been launched internationally to PH sufferers and due to the dedicated help of Dr Badesch; Dr Keogh and many influential PH Associations around the world we have managed to secure Flolan for Jenna, for AS LONG AS SHE NEEDS IT on a COMPASSIONATE basis from Dr Frank Gray, Physician Lead PAH Global, at Glaxo SmithKline in the UK. We have also managed to acquire Medical Control Council Approval and the local GSK team and Smiths-Medical team are helping me to ensure the efficacy of the pipe line – not only of the medication BUT of the medical disposables (pumps, cassettes, lines, syringes etc) required to go with it. Will every one of the people along the way ever truly know what they done for us … I don't know BUT when the final piece of the puzzle fell into place with Dr David Badesch and his Nurse Practitioner Debra Zupancic agreeing to travel to SA free of charge to share their expertise and knowledge and oversee the surgery and initiation of treatment for Jenna I knew anything was possible!
The procedure – when and how?
IV Epoprostenol/FLolan requires a surgical procedure to establish a port into Jenna's lungs for constant access to the new drug which is administered via a pump and cassettes. For most PH sufferers all over the world this medication is readily available and recent research has shown that it can prolong life in some cases for 5 – 10 years! Awesome … this is what we need for our Jen. The procedure is planned for Monday 09 December – Jen will likely be in ICU for a week and then a normal ward for another week — and we hope she will come out in time for a family Xmas with her beloved cousin, Tayla, who is coming from Australia to visit.
Discovery comes on board
Due to Matric Finals the procedure had to be planned for December, which is of course mid-season. Business class flights alone for Dr Badesch and Debra Zupancic cost close on R200 000 … and so a month ago we approached Discovery to ask them to climb on board. I am elated to tell you that as of last week they are officially now part of Team Jenna and are naming right sponsors of the first ever PH symposium in SA funding the flights and have ALSO taken over the costs, organisation and planning of seminars I had planned in both Cape Town and Jhb for Dr Badesch to share his expertise with local doctors, pulmonologists, cardiologist's and patients. We are delighted that PH sufferers in SA will benefit from the expertise we are bringing here, we are ever hopeful that this will be the start of the PH landscape changing in SA!
Matric and the Herschel community
Despite Jenna's debilitating illness she won 10 Academic prizes at final Herschel Prize Giving including the prestigious Schonborn Cup for Outstanding Achievement in the face of extreme adversity. On Monday Jen and all her friends begin their Matric exams … this exceptional bunch of girls and boys have literally and emotionally "carried" Jenna through her final year at school. Without their dedicated love, support and incredible friendship Jen could not have achieved what she has – and so we hold these friends in our hearts for the next month as they write their finals and wish them everything they deserve. The Herschel community has been nothing short of exceptional … there is nothing that Stuart West, Lindi Clarke, Paula Sellmeyer, Lethu and her prefect body, all the girls and the incredible teachers at Herschel have not been prepared to do for Jenna … from simple logistics such as building ramps, moving classes, extending deadlines, arranging disability parking bays and carrying Jen or her belongings; to total and unequivocal emotional support for our entire family. Without this incredible community I don't know how any of us, let alone Jenna, would have managed this year …. how do we thank you?
An Epiphany
And so every minute of every day we experience, in a profound way, the value and power of community. If you are reading this then you are a vital part of our journey. No man is an island – not because we are incapable, but because fundamentally we are not supposed to be alone. Whilst we have it deep within us to find what we need to cope – it is only through working and loving together that we will truly thrive and be the best that we can be. It is true that without each and every one of you we would not be able to be doing what we are doing for our Jenna.
With every fibre of our being we thank each and every one of you for your unending support, love and holding. Please light your candles on Monday the 9th for Jen – help us keep her safe with the power of our combined conscious thought and love.
Thank you – From Stuart and Gabi

By MYRON LOVE and BERNIE BELLAN
There has been a hitch in the delivery of fresh kosher meat in our community. Less than a week after two locations were supposed to begin selling fresh kosher meat, one - Miller's Meats at Grant and Kenaston – has withdrawn from the program.
"I said that I wanted to make sure that we are doing everything properly," says Miller's owner Mike DeGagne. "We were expecting to begin selling kosher meat on Wednesday, March 15. The day before, Joseph Saadon (the wholesaler from Miami who organized the sale of fresh kosher meat here) came to us to say that we wouldn't be able to get any product after the holidays."
DeGagne basically feels that he was being screwed around. "After all the build-up, not to have any product, I just said that we were done," he says. "I wish the community well and hope it works out."
Fresh kosher meat is still available at The Carver's Knife on Regent Avenue, across from Kildonan Place, and owner Calvin Vaags says he would be happy to email members of the public his price lists. Last week, turkey and chicken and a great many cuts of beef, as well as Bothwell Cheese, Elman's and Sardo's products were available. For community members who find going to Regent Avenue too far to travel, The Carver's Knife is prepared to deliver to your home free of charge for orders of $200 or more. (You can order over the phone.)
In south Winnipeg, another option is to arrange to have product delivered to the Adas-Yeshurun Herzlia Synagogue for pick-up. (The shul's Rabbi Yossi Benarroch is responsible for supervision of the fresh kosher meat operation.) It is also possible that a north end delivery location may also be arranged.
As reported in a previous issue of this paper, the meat is being shipped into Winnipeg from Shefa Meats in Toronto in blocks, already koshered, salted and traibered (wherein major blood vessels, nerves and forbidden fats are removed). The processing is being done at The Carver's Knife, where the meat is being cut into different pieces which are vacuum packed in sealed boxes with the VKW (Winnipeg kashrut) label.
"Before each shipment from Shefa arrives," Rabbi Benarroch explains, "we will be cleaning and sanitizing the facility. We have brand new kosher equipment on site which will be under lock and key in a special cupboard with only the mashgiach having a key."
The following was part of Bernie Bellan's Short Takes column in the March 28 issue:
The story about fresh kosher meat being for sale at two locations in Winnipeg:The Carver's Knife in Transcona, and Miller's Meats in River Heights, (which appears elsewhere on this website) raised as many questions as it did answers. The most oft-heard question was: How were the locations that ended up being named as the retail outlets that would sell fresh kosher meat chosen?
The answer is that the decision where to sell the meat was made entirely by the entrepreneur whom we named in our March 14 story as having the idea to bring fresh kosher meat to Winnipeg, someone by the name of Yossi Saddon. The Carver's Knife was a natural location for one of the retail outlets, as that is where the lots of meat that will be shipped from Toronto will arrive – and be cut, all under kosher supervision.
But when it came to Miller's Meats, well, the reason for that outlet being chosen is not quite as clear. We heard from more than one person who wondered why Miller's Meats was chosen and not some other outlet. "Why not Desserts Plus? Why not Gunn's Bakery?" we were asked. (Both those locations are under the supervision of VKW -Winnipeg Kosher.)
We spoke with Yossi Saddon on several occasions to try and find out how he came to decide where fresh kosher meat would be sold. Then, when we found out that Miller's Meats had opted out of serving as one of the retail locations, we warned him that Winnipeg Jews were bound to put up a fuss about being asked to drive all the way to Transcona if The Carver's Knife remained the sole outlet where fresh kosher meat could be purchased.
Yossi seemed perplexed. He wondered why there would be any fuss at all about driving an extra 25 minutes each way to and from Transcona? He said that, if the same situation were to occur in Toronto, no one would think twice about having to spend an extra 25 minutes driving anywhere.
"But this isn't Toronto," I tried to explain to Yossi, and you don't know Winnipeggers. On top of that, many others with whom I spoke voiced disappointment that Desserts Plus wasn't chosen as the south end location. (Apparently Yossi had considered asking Desserts Plus to serve as the south end retail outlet, but decided against that – for reasons that I am not prepared to divulge.)
As for Gunn's Bakery – I'm not at all sure what happened there. I happened to see both Fivie and Bernie Gunn when I stopped in there this past week, and they both said that no one had contacted them to sell fresh kosher meat. Later, however, I was told by a reliable source that Gunn's had indeed been approached, but had rejected the idea of selling fresh kosher meat. (This story has more twists and turns than a Donald Trump tweet.)
Finally, I asked Elaine Goldstine, CEO of the Jewish Federation, how involved the Federation has been in this whole project? (After all, Elaine has been sending out regular email blasts to members of the community informing them of what's been happening with fresh kosher meat.)
Elaine was quite emphatic in her response: "We are not driving this and it is not federation's place to reach out to vendors."
Still, I suggested to Elaine that the Federation had become quite invested in promoting the sale of fresh kosher meat, not only by breaking the news that fresh kosher meat would be offered for sale at two outlets, but by even going so far as to send out a list of the cuts that would be available.
In my typically cheeky fashion I suggested to Elaine that I could write some copy for advertising for the Federation, along the lines of: "Don't make us the scapegoat for Miller's not selling kosher meat, but you can still get your goat at The Carver's Knife!"
(Goat? Who eats goat in the Jewish community? I wonder.)

Belfast Hills Partnership became aware that a new service was being offered by Google via their Google maps and Google Earth programmes which many people now use for researching and accessing maps of sites to visit.
This new Google Trekker service means that 360 degree imagery normally provided by their Street View service can now be reproduced for off road paths and trails.
Belfast Hills Partnership jumped at the chance to record all their main footpaths over a three week period last autumn and the results of their work with Google have just been published online.
"It was no mean feat lugging a 42 pound backpack up and down hill tracks across our main public sites," said Manager Jim Bradley.
"We had four fit volunteers and staff taking turns to pound the paths while the machine took 24 photographs per minute using 15 high tech cameras.
"We managed to cover over 10 miles of paths but looking at the footage for all these paths it was well worth it.
"We believe this is a great introduction and taster for tourists and local people who have yet to try some of our sites."

Digestive Enzymes
Recipient :
* Required fields
or Cancel
Digestive Enzymes are proteins secreted by the pancreas that help the body break down starch, fats and proteins to be converted into energy. Raw foods provide digestive enzymes but poor diet choices, stress, and fast eating can inhibit the effect of enzymes.[11] Digestive enzymes are produced in the pancreas, stomach, and salivary glands. In order for your body to manufacture enzymes, you need to eat trace minerals, which are found in raw foods. If your diet is deficient in raw foods, then you will also have an enzyme deficiency.[1] Furthermore, because of the quality of produce that is grown with pesticides in poor, nutrient deficient soil, genetically modified and at times frozen, it is difficult to find sufficient fruits and vegetables that are healthy to eat. Organic produce is the best way to go, but for those who cannot afford an organic, whole foods diet, ingesting a digestive enzymes supplement is an excellent option.
Protease is the enzyme responsible for breaking down proteins into amino acids. Amino acids are the building blocks of DNA, so their presence in the body system is vital. This enzyme is especially beneficial for athletes.
Amylase breaks down carbohydrates into glucose that is processed by the body and used as energy. It is present in the saliva and begins working as soon as mastication begins. This enzyme can be used to aid in weight loss.
Lactase breaks down lactose, a sugar in milk and milk by products such as cheese, pudding, etc. People who have a deficiency of lactase are said to be lactose intolerant.[13]
Digestive enzyme supplements are useful in improving overall body heath over time. Supplements with enzymes such as protease help with fat loss through breaking down fat stores.[12] To determine if a digestive supplement would be beneficial for you, ask yourself the following questions: Do you feel excessively full or bloated after meals? Does your food just sit in your stomach after eating? Do you suffer from constant gas or heartburn? Is there undigested food in your bowel? These are all symptoms of enzyme deficiency.[11] As mentioned above it is difficult to get all the enzymes the body needs from diet alone, much less the trace minerals that enzymes require in order to work properly. A healthy diet rich in fruits and vegetables, low on processed carbohydrates and including a regimen of digestive enzyme supplements aids with a number of ailments.
The activity level to look for in protease is 40,000 HUT.[1] This enzyme is great in aiding the release of protein into the blood stream to assist with muscle recovery.
Amylase breaks down complex carbohydrates and starches. Once broken down they are converted into glucose that supplies the body with energy. Supplementing your diet with amylase is particularly important if you are a fast eater who does not chew enough. In a supplement, the activity level to look for is 16,000 SKB.[1]
Because milk is a major source of calcium, and people who do not get enough calcium in their diet can develop osteoporosis, a lactase supplement can be vital to good health by enabling a person to consume milk.[13] Vitamin D is another nutrient found in milk. Mothers who breastfeed have a special need to drink milk with Vitamin D to ensure their newborn gets enough of this nutrient. If the mother is lactose intolerant, an option for her is to take a lactase supplement. Symptoms of lactase deficiency include mild gas and bloating. Approximately 70% of people suffer from this while ignoring the symptoms. 1/3 of people in the United States are thought to be lactose intolerant. The activity level to look for in a supplement of lactase is 2,500 LACU.[1]
Health Canada Recommended Dose: Adults: 1 - 2 Capsule(s) 1 - 3 time(s) per day Take with or immediately before a meal/food.
Digestive enzyme supplements, more specifically Lactase, can help treat gas and bloating in people who suffer from lactose intolerance. Gas, heartburn, constipation and other digestive issues can all be treated with a regimen of enzymes. These supplements aid in the digestion and emptying of the stomach faster, which relieves the above symptoms. "For common digestive complaints such as flatulence, bloating, heartburn, or irritable bowel syndrome: Take 1 to 2 capsules with smaller meals; 2 to 4 with large meals."[14]
Digestive enzymes can have a positive effect in a weight loss regimen. In order to lose weight, the state of waste system, stress, and organs all need to be taken into account. Protease is needed to help breakdown proteins and eliminate toxins. It is difficult to lose weight if the body is storing excess toxins. These toxins can cause an individual to feel more hungry, and then to eat more. It may take up to three weeks to see results as the enzymes do their job, eliminating toxins and aiding in digestion. Another three weeks are needed to see a complete renewal in energy.[7]
Amylase improves glycemic homeostasis, the balance of insulin and glucagon in the bloodstream after eating carbohydrates. This can aid in weight loss by inhibiting an excess of insulin, which causes weight gain. "Digestive enzymes really do something. They are not a placebo. They work quickly. In seconds, they break down the simple carbs."[1]
Bodybuilders need to consume a gram of protein per pound of bodyweight every day. However, if the protein consumed is not effectively broken down by the body, the individual is not maximizing their protein intake. Digestive enzymes containing protease help the body break down protein so it can be better absorbed.[10] Protease enzymes added to whey protein powder enable easier digestion and absorption of the whey. This allows more of the amino acids to enter the blood stream to be used by the muscles. Protease aids in the recovery of athletic injuries by speeding healing time and decreasing inflammation. A recent study showed that after 30 minutes on a treadmill, subjects who ingested protease supplements were able to maintain the fitness of their hamstrings better than subjects who did not take protease.[4]
Probiotics are bacterial organisms that live in our digestive system. The signs deficient healthy enzymes and probiotics in our bodies are similar, such as gas, bloating, constipation and heartburn. Enzymes are very sensitive to their environment, and heat can kill enzymes present in the food we eat. Temperatures as low as 100? can start to impact enzymes. Steroids, chlorinated water, refined sugars, and stress can denature natural levels of good bacteria.[9] In understanding the differences between specific enzymes and probiotics, confusion comes into play because many people confuse lactase with the probiotic L-Acidophilus, bacteria found in yogurt that is needed in your stomach for healthy digestion. Unlike enzymes, probiotics are living organisms with a life cycle of about a few months to even a few years. Both enzymes and probiotics benefit from trace minerals found in the body. Because minerals help activate enzymes it is important to eat a diet rich in raw vegetables and fruits. Like with enzymes, probiotics are found in foods but the amount needed by an individual may sometimes be difficult to attain through diet alone, and in that case, a supplement is recommended.[8]
Because the body rapidly processes digestive enzymes, serious digestive enzyme side effects are not common. Use common sense guidelines when beginning a regimen for the first time, and if symptoms such as cramping, issues with bowel or sore stomach occur then adjust the dose. However, such symptoms usually resolve themselves in a few days. Any regimen designed to eliminate toxins from the body will cause discomfort during the first few days of the cleaning out process. However, if painful symptoms occur and do not subside, a doctor should be consulted. In addition, attempting to treat serious chronic conditions with digestive enzymes before consulting a doctor is not recommended.
The use of digestive enzymes in a healthy individual will help to correct ailments due to an imbalance in the body caused by poor diet and a sluggish system. Once toxins are eliminated and the natural working order of the body is reestablished, an individual on a regimen consisting of a good diet and digestive enzyme supplements will find his/herself returned to their full level of energy and able to enjoy their body in the best health possible.

I empty one capsule into a water bottle with one capsule of green tea and 2 grams of l tyrosine and drink half in the morning before breakfast and the other half in the early evening before eating my fourth meal. I'm also convinced these help with regularity as well.

|I'm a serious advocate of digestive enzymes. These seem to be the most effective ones I've taken to date though not the most extensive profile which is fine. Protease, amylase, and lactase which is certainly sufficient. I don't seem to feel bloated ever as I take one in the morning and one in the evening before meals. These are also very clean with just gelatin capsules which I am so thankful for.

|I have just started to take these pills especially if I need to eat quite late at night. I don't know at this time if they are making a difference. I'm vegetarian (vegan) I'm hoping they will also help reduce my gassy stomach. It would be nice to sleep over at a womans house without the anxiety of this.

|I didn't realize that this now came in a mylar bag as before it would be in a small bottle. Needless to say I feel that it does the job.
If you don't take digestive enzymes, now is probably a time to start. It helps with food breakdown and absorption. Remember, it's not about how much food you eat, it's how much you can absorb.
I found that overall, this is great to take with larger meals, or at any time you consume large amounts of protein in support of digestion.
Cost wise, this is a little bit on the high end, but would buy again if required.

Reproduction is comprised of many complex behavioral and physiological processes. My research examines how the brain controls reproductive physiology and behavior, focusing on the role of kisspeptin in regulating reproduction. Kisspeptin, encoded by Kiss1, is a potent stimulator of the reproductive axis and humans and mice with mutations in Kiss1 or its receptor, Kiss1r, have severe deficits in puberty onset, gonadal sex steroid hormone production, and fertility. Thus, kisspeptin is required for reproduction. Despite much research, the mechanisms regulating Kiss1 neurons and the reproductive axis have yet to be fully characterized. My early postdoctoral research examined the regulation and function of hypothalamic Kiss1 neurons, demonstrating that progesterone acts directly on kisspeptin neurons to regulate female fertility. My research also showed that treatment with corticosterone, a stress hormone, impaired female fertility and this was likely the result of reduced hypothalamic Kiss1 expression and Kiss1 neuronal activation in corticosterone-treated females. Kiss1 neurons are located primarily within the hypothalamus but are also detected in other brain areas, such as the medial amygdala (MeA). However, virtually nothing is known about the regulation and function of Kiss1 neurons in the MeA, which is the focus of my ongoing and future research. The amygdala is implicated in regulating reproduction, as well numerous other behavioral and physiological events such as stress, anxiety, and social behavior. Understanding the regulation and function of Kiss1 neurons in the MeA may provide valuable insight regarding how the amygdala modulates reproductive hormones and how amygdala-dependent behaviors, such as stress, can alter reproduction.

Google's new Chromecast slings video from a computer or smartphone directly to your TV. It's a tiny dongle that plugs into an HDMI port on your TV set, bringing Apple's Airplay-like functionality to both Android and iOS mobile devices. But instead of charging $50 to $100 like the cheapest Roku model or Apple's Apple TV, Chromecast is only $35.
Google is offering three free months of Netflix service for new and existing subscribers to anyone who buys a Chromecast, too, which is a $24 value, bringing the effective cost of the dongle down to just $11.
Chromecast should be available by Sunday, July 28 through a variety of online stores, including Amazon, Google Play, and others. We were able to place an order via Google Play today, where it says devices will start shipping on Aug. 7.
But you don't have to wait that long to see how it will work. We got a unit to test at Google's press event today. Here are our first impressions.
Chromecast is a cool, small, HDMI dongle that plugs into your TV. But it's a little less elegant than you'd think. It needs USB power, which can come from the included power plug, or from a USB port on your TV.
Chromecast currently works with Android smartphones and with Mac or Windows laptops, or with the Chromebook Pixel. It's not clear if it will work with other Chromebooks (we didn't test this.) Google has said that an iOS app will be available soon, but it's not available for download now. (Updated 7/25 with the Chromebook Pixel compatibility information.)
Once installed on your phone, it should work with any app that's been made compatible with Chromecast. Right now, that includes only the Google Play, YouTube, and Netflix apps.
On your laptop, it will work to project an image of any browser tab in Chrome — but it works better (with higher-quality video) with the YouTube player, which has its own "cast" button and has clearly been optimized to work with Chromecast. Hulu, for instance, hasn't been optimized, so you can play a Hulu movie in a Chrome tab, but the quality on your TV will be lower.
We considered the possibility of using Chromecast to send prank videos to a friend's TV or to the conference room in our office. That's not easy to do, partly because you have to smuggle a Chromecast onto an HDMI port and then switch the TV to the appropriate input. The phone or laptop you're streaming video from also has to be on the same Wi-Fi network as the Chromecast device, and you have to pair the Chromecast with your device, a process that involves displaying a code on the TV screen. So: Prank possibilities are there, but it's not as straightforward as we hoped (or feared).

Although I am thankful to the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, Ravi Iyengar & colleagues and especially Coursera for providing the such courses online,
I have to say after taking this course that I did not find this helpful and would not really recommend it to anyone. The course is sort of a bird's eye view of the field of systems biology such that a beginner would not understand much of anything and an experienced researcher would also not really benefit from it either. In my view the course is sort of a "Review of certain handpicked literature" and it does not Explain well the basic concepts of system biology.

This is a good course, overall - it starts off with a lot of technical detail about network, but I honestly encourage anyone to keep going with it as the second half of the course is full of really interesting material on signalling networks and modelling, and having finished it, I certainly feel much more informed. However, the assessments can be tricky - they often require rote learning of specific detail from the lectures (often, detail which isn't highlighted a particularly important). They also occasionally involve difficult to understand questions, and several questions have had spelling or grammatical errors.
However, overall, I'd recommend this if you have previous undergraduate education in molecular biology, and a general understanding of how cell biological systems work.

An excellent introduction to Systems Biology. I studied electrical engineering for undergrad and neglected to take more than the single biology course that was required, so I was a little unsure of how the course would go. There are actually many parallels with systems biology and engineering, so most of the material was intuitive or could be easily fitted with my previous knowledge. I had to spend additional time for nomenclature and rechecking exam questions to make sense of the answers, but the class is organized in a way that you can actually acquire the information you need to build a foundation and be able to consider what researchers from various backgrounds are concerned with.

Hi, I am a Degree Level Qualified Therapist from a Sports Science background. I qualified as a Clinical Sports & Remedial Massage Therapist in 2010. Since then I've been working for over 3 years working in Cobham and Horsley where i've built up a thriving client base whilst gaining further qualifications in the field of Injury Rehabilitation & Biomechanics. For me learning never stops and I will be qualifying as a Pilates Instructor this year and going on the start a masters in Biomechanics hopefully 2015. I feel continuing and having enthusiasm for education & learning is a huge part of being a great therapist.
I am the current Team Therapist for the London Lions Pro Basketball Team. We play at the Copper Box, Olympic park. The teams a fairly new franchise and very exciting to be a part of such a great venture from the beginning. Watch out for me pitch side at their games.
Although I do work with athlete's up to GB and International level, much of my private client base come to see me for help with their ache's and pains that are derived from much more "normal" day to day work and lifestyle stuff and a lot of my Biomechanic's work has focussed on ways to combat the stresses & strains that modern living causes to our bodies. So please don't feel Sports & Remedial or Deep Tissue Massage is just for sports people. It is good for everyone!
I have a keen interest in wellbeing & nutrition. This summer I have been lucky enough to be asked to work the odd weekend at an amazing Nutrition Health Retreat in the Loire Valley in France with two inspirational nutritionists (who are also amazing at cooking). as well as gaining loads of hints & tips from them I get to work alongside some of the top fitness professionals from Yoga, Pilates & Tai Chi who they also export from the UK to inspire & provide daily exercise sessions. I can't wait for the next weekend in Spring 2015! http://www.optimumliving.co.uk/retreat/
I have recently started a monthly newsletter where I share just one really informative short article/video related to the human body & sports therapy and one delicious & nutritious recipe!

The city's Rosalie Park Parking Management Plan was developed in consultation with stakeholders and was endorsed by Council in December 2015.
The plan contains sixteen actions which aim to provide balanced parking options for both residents in the area and visitors to local facilities such as the school and sporting fields.
To progress the outcomes of the plan, the city will be seeking further feedback from the community, undertaking additional consultation to ensure that users of the space have the opportunity to have their say about parking in the area. The consultation plan will be presented to council in June, with community consultation to follow in due course.
For more information and updates, or to download a copy of the plan visit the Rosalie Park Parking Management Plan page. To have your say on other city projects visit www.haveyoursaysubiaco.com.au

Advertising Specialties (Logo Imprinted Swag & Tchotchkes)
Advertising specialties (also known as "swag" or "tchotchkes") is the category of promotional items where the University logo and unit name, URL and other information is imprinted or embroidered on giveaway items such as office supplies or small "toys," apparel, notepads, thumb drives, coffee mugs, water bottles, and similar items.
The same rules and regulations for logo usage and color branding apply to advertising specialties. Please consult the Hallmarks of the University Brand document for guidance when designing these items. One of the most common difficulties with advertising specialties is designing for the small space allowed. If you are designing for a .5" x 1.0" space, which is not uncommon for pens, staplers, thumb drives, and small imprintables, please remember that less is more. The important thing is that the University brand and the unit name are legible to the end user. When designing for these small spaces, print out your design at 100 percent (actual) size and use your best judgment as to whether the University brand and the unit name are legible.
Embroidered specialty advertising items, such as ball caps, apparel, and bags, have a special set of constraints due to limits in the ability of sewing machines to stitch very small or intitricate patterns or lettering. For this reason, we make commonly-requested University college and school identifiers available through Marketing & Communications so your vendor does not waste time trying to recreate your official identifier by doing multiple stitch-outs.
All vendors must adhere to the Hallmarks of the University Brand guidelines in terms of logo usage, color usage, and typography usage. Most importantly, remember that the University logo is not simply the letter N; it is an N in a box, always. Failure to comply may result in a vendor being removed from our list of recommended vendors. Vendors should also note that the Athletics logos, including the Sport Wolf, Baseball N, Top Hat Wolf, and other Athletics-centric marks, are trademarked and licensed property of Athletics and cannot be used without prior written authorization.

From the American Medical Association's Office guide to communicating with limited English proficient patients.
|Type of Interpreter
|Average Availability
|Comfort to Patient
|Interpreting Quality
|Circumstances Where Interpreter Type is Appropriate*
|Trained Onsite Interpreter
|Trained Telephonic Interpreter
|Bilingual health care practitioner
|Trained bilingual staff
|Moderate-High Risk Circumstances (depends on level of training)
|Untrained Bilingual Staff
|Low-Risk Circumstances**
|Bilingual Family Member or Friend
|Low-Risk Circumstances**
* Examples of possible circumstances:
** Experts in medical communication consider this an option of last resort.
Competency in medical interpretation requires more than fluency in a language or even knowledge of medical terms in that language. Trained medical interpreters are individuals who have received professional instruction in medical concepts and terminology, interpretation skills and process, communication skills, ethics, confidentiality and cultural issues.
While there is a national code of ethics and the National Standards of Practice for Interpreters in Health Care, training standards are still in the process of being developed. No specific certification requirements currently exist for use by all training organizations.
Many health care organizations and some insurers will provide access to onsite medical interpreters. If you do not have access to these resources in your clinical setting, you can access community-based, trained medical interpreters through:
Onsite interpreters are preferred for encounters that rely on nonverbal communication (e.g., facial expression, body language), such as when delivering bad news. They may also work best when obtaining informed consent. In these situations, it is important to ensure effective communication and nonverbal cues are appropriately considered to assess whether informed consent truly takes place.
Trained telephonic interpreters provide offsite multilingual interpretation to the patient and physician by telephone. Companies providing these services can furnish wireless remote headsets for use in areas not wired for telephones or dual-handset equipment that avoids the need to pass the telephone back and forth. The speaker option available on many phones can also be used for this purpose, if it has good sound quality. Telephonic interpretation usually works best when a specific telephone in the office is designated for interpretation or when one is placed in every examination room.
Trained telephonic interpreters are particularly useful for practices with a multilingual patient base, at which it would be difficult to have multiple onsite interpreters. They are most effective for administrative and routine encounters, when nonverbal communication plays a limited role. Some considerations when choosing telephonic interpreting are cost, miscommunication due to patient dialect and possible discomfort with the use of a telephonic versus an onsite interpreter.
The National Health Law Program provides resources for researching interpretation services across the country, such as the Language Services Resource Guide for Health Care Providers (October 2006).
Being bilingual or being a bilingual medical practitioner does not ensure competency in medical interpretation. Practitioners in this role should complete an interpreter training program to optimize their effectiveness and the quality of care they deliver.
If bilingual staff members are trained to serve as interpreters (as described earlier in Section A), and have been tested to demonstrate competency, they can effectively fulfill the role of interpreter. However, because bilingual staff are also responsible for performing their primary roles, their availability for interpretation may be limited.
Experts in medical communication believe that family members, friends and untrained staff should only be used as a last resort, when none of the other preferred methods are available.
Research indicates that when family members, friends, strangers or other untrained individuals serve as interpreters (known collectively as ad hoc interpreters), significantly more interpretation errors of clinical consequence occur. Studies also show that the use of ad hoc interpreters is associated with a high risk of interpretation errors, omissions, distortions and redundancy. Ad hoc interpreters are unlikely to have adequate training in medical terminology and confidentiality, and sometimes may have priorities that conflict with patients and may inhibit or preclude essential discussions on sensitive issues such as domestic violence, substance abuse, psychiatric illness and sexually transmitted diseases.

There are good reasons why you should involve reliable web developers Brisbane has to offer to create your website. Many business owners think that the website is about what they want. However, the website is about your visitors, your target audience, and those interested in your product or service.
In addition, web design not only entails pretty pictures but also important information regarding your products. For instance, web developers Brisbane has to offer should help you achieve that goal. With a proper integration of text and pictures, your website becomes usable to your visitors. The following are various aspects of website usability that every web developer should consider.
The website should adhere to standards
Standards are important and they vary from one case to another. As a website owner, you should ensure that a web developer gives you a web design that gives you what you expect. For example, underlining a text while it is not a link may bring confusion. The overall layout of texts should not be confusing to visitors.
Consider user tasks
This consideration takes you to the mind of your visitor, where you try to figure out what brings him or her to your website. With that in mind, you can list various tasks that people might do on your site. You should also note how you're going to help your visitors achieve their goals.

How Steel Casting Can Help Boost the Economy The most important industry that greatly contributes to the economy is the production of casting. The process of casting is utilized in making so many things that are used these days such as hydroelectric turbine wheels, mining machinery, valve bodies, gears, pump casings and a whole lot more. In casting, the material that you want to cast is melted and the liquid form is added into a mould that is similar to the product that you want to make. The hollow design of the mould where the liquid form is poured allows enough space for adding the melted material. The main materials used for casting are metals such as steel and iron. Stainless steel castings are known for its use of different kinds of steel materials to make certain items. Steel casting is usually made by using alloy and carbon steels. An alloy is made up of two or more casting materials that are mixed together. In order to tolerate high levels of stress, the strength needed by the items that are made from steel is provided by the steel materials. Furthermore, another benefit that we can get from steel materials is its resistance to wear and tear.
Manufacturers – Getting Started & Next Steps
A small number of companies produces steel products all over the world. Casting manufacturing companies actually obtains most of their income from materials that are used for heavy works such as mining machines.
How I Achieved Maximum Success with Services
Since our homes and businesses are maintained from items that came from the cast manufacturing sector, it is only right that the government strongly supports this sector to keep the economy running. The casting manufacturing sector have already existed for quite a long period. Believe it or not, the generations that lived in the past even knew how to cast metals. Swords are some of the war items that were made by those people by utilizing the process of casting. The casting production industry is very precious to our economic lifeline. Without cast manufacturing, we are comparable to cars that have no engine. Stainless mugs and spoons are only some of the many household items that are made out of steel casting. It is now possible to obtain all of these things because of casting. The industry of metal casting has bought so many positive outcomes. Having said that, the level of employment has increased significantly because of the casting manufacturing industry. The mining sector is one of the many industries that is helped by the steel casting sector since they acquire their mining machines that are used in digging up minerals from them. Also, the aviation industry is assisted by the steel casting sector simply because air[lanes are made out of steel products.

Significado em práticas matemáticas não escolares: estudo com alunos do ensino fundamental
Costa, Daniela Netto Scatolin
MetadataShow full item record
This research has the purpose to analyze the influence of situations in order to deal with mathematics in different social practices. As a specific goal, it investigates the meanings in various school and non-school mathematical practices. Among these purposes there is an analysis about the switch of meanings between one and another practice. The development of this work is based on a review of studies about the exploitation of Mathematics on the day to day problems and in other areas of knowledge that could contribute to the learning of mathematics as a school subject. Considering the idea of mathematics as a social practice, the theoretical framework of the present research has centered on the design of means of structuring and situated learning by Jean Lave. The research follows a naturalistic perspective with ethnographicins piration and uses as a methodological resource the participant observation with a group of elementary school students. The data collected were recorded by the researcher in field activities, through interviews, diaries and field recordings. The activities observed occur inside and outside the school. For the analysis it is considered the resource association between the object and the theoretical framework consisting drawn from Lave s studies. Concerning the results obtained, it is possible to realize the strength of the situation and sometimes, how crucial it is in order to practice math. It stands out especially the prevalence of different meanings in different practices. The present study also promotes questions about the proposal to take the students everyday situations to inside the classroom and therefore, it intermediates my work as a mathematics teacher at elementary schools.

In August 1992, 25 years ago this week, Hurricane Andrew, a devastating Category 5 hurricane, passed directly through areas of the populous Miami-Dade County. The hurricane was the most destructive storm to ever hit Florida, causing $26.5 billion in damage across the State, leveling about 63,500 homes and damaging an estimated 101,000 homes.
In the weeks after Andrew had struck and the damage assessments were under way, it was determined that a series of homes in Dade County built by the volunteer group Habitat for Humanity had survived the storm and were pronounced structurally sound afterward. One main driver in the ability of these homes to survive Andrew was that Habitat followed (and still follows) all Federal and State laws and local building codes. They ensure that their houses not only meet but also exceed the standards set by those laws and codes. In contrast, many homes put up by professionals during the building boom of the 1980s were leveled or condemned as unlivable after the hurricane due to shoddy construction and/or shortcuts taken to build homes faster.
Several Federal agencies are involved in helping develop local building codes, such as the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, U.S. Department of Labor, and U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). HUD oversees and implements many regulations that affect single-family and multiunit housing, and it also helps ensure the "affordability, quality, durability, and safety of manufactured [mobile] homes."
Meeting these regulations and local building codes saved people's homes 25 years ago. As an organization committed to public health and safety, we commend the efforts of these agencies to help provide high-quality homes that can weather many storms.

A Christmas Carol has entertained generations in different formats from Charles Dickens' original book to Disney's cartoon version, Patrick Stewart's one-man play and a modern day movie adaptation Scrooged with Bill Murray. Linkit: A Christmas Carol retells the classic through a match three game that presents scenes from the story in between levels and holiday music in the background.
Other than including the story in cutscenes, Linkit differs from the countless match three games in that players can link matching objects by going up, down, sideways, and diagonally. Picture a plus symbol (+). Some match three games only allow making an "L" because it would require backtracking to get the rest. Not in Linkit – you can backtrack and make the entire plus symbol because the objects link in at least one direction or corner.
The goal for each level is to clear all the colored squares, and sometimes it takes multiple matches to remove them especially when they have locks and two layers of colors.
Wouldn't this make the game to easy? The game turns more challenging at the end of Act II (ghost of Christmas past) and the start of Act III (ghost of Christmas present). Linkit contains the typical barriers found in most match three games such as tricky corners, double locks, the grid's changing shapes, and other crafty tricks.
The game starts very easy allowing the little ones to join in and following along with the story. Instead of getting the story all at once, they hear a little, play the game, hear a little more, play the game and so on. However, for them to "hear" the story, someone will have to read it aloud because there's no audio.
The story scenes contain hand-crafted backgrounds that change to reflect the current scene. Characters swoop in and talk to each other through conversation bubbles, like in a comic strip. Other than the background and dialog, little changes in the story's visuals. You can skip the entire scene, but not speed through the story or rewind.
Only one power up comes in – a hammer. Its meter fills as you make matches and when it's full, use it to break an object. The game could stand a few more extras. Although new objects appear in the grid in later levels, changing all of them would provide a needed change of pace especially with the young'uns' short attention span.
For some, another challenge in playing Linkit is that it requires holding down the mouse button while making the links. As you link, the grid lights up and displays a thin line to show the selection. Sometimes the mouse loses the links causing you to start over and lose time in the process, or it misses one of the objects you thought you had selected.
Selecting the objects may be frustrating for people with motor challenges or the toddler who doesn't yet have the needed eye-hand coordination. To deselect a line after changing your mind, you move the mouse around until it disappears. It takes practice, and soon enough you can create long chains for more points. Every level ends with statistics showing the longest chain made, pieces removed, time bonus, and score.
A more serious concern is a technical glitch that causes the game to stop working when out of moves. (You have to exit the game completely to fix the problem.)
On the plus side, the lively orchestra music rings of Christmas. Though orchestra music doesn't play Jingle Bells or Silent Night, something about the music reflects the spirit of the season and the time the story takes place.
Another positive is that the game splits into five acts and 80 levels, creating long-lasting play. Kids might like playing the game again and skipping the scenes once they've heard the story. Although Linkit: A Christmas Carol is a no-frills version of a match three game, it's a charming one. The combination of the music, the story in between levels, and the game play works well and can snap people out of a Scrooge-like mood and fill them with holiday spirit.
"God bless us everyone," and Linkit – A Christmas Carol, too, for bringing a family together with a story and a fun game that's simple enough for the younger kids.

the review site with a difference since 1999

Paramount Studios presents
"I am going back to Detriot for some old-fashioned American street violence."
DVD ReviewSet several years after the events in the first Beverly Hills Cop film, Beverly Hills Cop II once again finds Detroit police officer Axel Foley (Murphy) away from home trying to bust a large crime sect. What brings Axel west this time is the shooting of his friend (and former enemy) Lieutenant Bogomil (Cox) at the hands of what the Beverly Hills police are calling "The Alphabet Killer". Soon Axel is reunited with Detective Billy Rosewood (Reinhold) and Sergeant John Taggart (Ashton) as the three set off to uncover the identity of this killer. The original Beverly Hills Cop is considered by some (including myself) to be a classic of 1980s cinema. It is a fresh, witty and thrilling action-comedy that cemented the star status of Eddie Murphy and breathed new life into the genre. Then came the obligatory sequel, and while the addition of director Tony Scott helped ensure that the action would be done in a much more stylish manner, upon the film's release, it was easy to see that there was undeniably something missing. That something may well have been any sort of originality. Screenwriters Larry Ferguson and Warren Skaaren (working from a story by Murphy) have seemingly done nothing more that take moments that worked in the first film and incorporate them into a plot so confusing that the audience can barely decipher it. We see Axel mess up in Detroit, come to Beverly Hills and embarrass the high dollar crowd, all the while solving a case that the Beverly Hills police department seems lost in handling. This worked well in the first installment, and nearly every set piece in this sequel can be directly related to its predecessor. Throughout the Beverly Hills Cop, trilogy the weight of the films has always squarely rested on the shoulders of Eddie Murphy. While he was abundantly enjoyable in the first installment, here he seems, at times, over-the-top in his antics, though he obtains several laughs throughout the film. The best portion of the cast can be found in the supporting roles. Reinhold and Ashton get more time in the sequel, and Reinhold especially comes into his own with a more defined character. Yet above all, I found myself enjoying Beverly Hills Cop II—for the most part. The villains are especially well cast, with Jurgen Prochnow doing what he has done so well over his career; we don't know much about his character, but his performance is very well done. Director Tony Scott creates a fast-paced film with several intriguing action sequences, while the cinematography by Jeffrey Kimball is almost masterful in its composition. This is a movie that is loud, fun, and full to the brim with style, if only it had a brain in its head.
Rating for Style: B+
Rating for Substance: C+
Image Transfer
Image Transfer Review: Paramount presents Beverly Hills Cop II in an anamorphic 2.35:1 widescreen transfer that is very well done despite some small problems. Since the film was shot in Super 35, it should come as no surprise that there is some grain present; though a comparison between my laserdisc of the film and this new DVD showed vast improvement with this anamorphic print. Edge enhancement is at times problematic with several scenes showing noticeable examples. Overall this is nicely done and helps to show off Tony Scott's visual style.
Image Transfer Grade: B+
Audio Transfer
Audio Transfer Review: With a newly created Dolby Digital 5.1 sound mix I had high hopes for Beverly Hills Cop II, as it is, without a doubt, the most action-oriented of the trilogy. The mix did not let me down. The score comes through cleanly in the surround speakers and front channels, while ambient effects can be heard from time to time in the rear speakers. The split surrounds are never showcased as much as I had hoped for, especially in the climactic sequences, but when the action occurs on screen the speakers do show some promise. A Dolby Surround track is also offered, though this seems to be exactly the same as the mix used for the laserdisc several years ago. There is a slight difference between the two mixes, the main one being the more defined score in the 5.1 mix.

Extras Review: As with the other Beverly Hills Cop releases from Paramount, II hosts a nice selection of extra features. The most notable is a new collection of interviews with Judge Reinhold, Tony Scott, Jerry Bruckheimer, John Ashton, Ronny Cox and others, talking about the sequel, as well as the pre-production ordeals the picture faced. The interviews are informative, especially as Scott and Cox talk about the original idea of setting the film in London, while the other clips prove to be an abundance of praise for Tony Scott and Eddie Murphy. An extension of the gun club break-in sequence is presented, with an opening by director Tony Scott, who talks about exactly why it was cut. The original featurette runs a short seven minutes and should be applauded, as it gets Hugh Hefner's thoughts on the film, which we all know is important, because he has so much screen time in the film (!).The Shakedown Music Featurette is a short clip that looks at the creation of the song Shakedown and the artists involved. The final extra is the original theatrical trailer, presented in 1.85:1 anamorphic widescreen and is nicely done.
Extras Grade: B-
Final CommentsBeverly Hills Cop II is a film divided into different parts. The direction by Scott and the performances are each worthy of recommendation, but the poor script hampers the quality of the whole. The video and audio portions of this DVD are presented very well and some nice but ultimately empty extra features make for a well-rounded disc. Recommended if you are looking to complete the trilogy, but as a stand-alone purchase, pick up the first film instead.

Writing in Smithsonian magazine, magician Teller describes the neuroscience that underpins magical illusions, using admirably clear language to describe some of the weirdest ways that our brains can be made to fool us.
1. Exploit pattern recognition. I magically produce four silver dollars, one at a time, with the back of my hand toward you. Then I allow you to see the palm of my hand empty before a fifth coin appears. As Homo sapiens, you grasp the pattern, and take away the impression that I produced all five coins from a hand whose palm was empty.
2. Make the secret a lot more trouble than the trick seems worth. You will be fooled by a trick if it involves more time, money and practice than you (or any other sane onlooker) would be willing to invest. My partner, Penn, and I once produced 500 live cockroaches from a top hat on the desk of talk-show host David Letterman. To prepare this took weeks. We hired an entomologist who provided slow-moving, camera-friendly cockroaches (the kind from under your stove don't hang around for close-ups) and taught us to pick the bugs up without screaming like preadolescent girls. Then we built a secret compartment out of foam-core (one of the few materials cockroaches can't cling to) and worked out a devious routine for sneaking the compartment into the hat. More trouble than the trick was worth? To you, probably. But not to magicians.
3. It's hard to think critically if you're laughing. We often follow a secret move immediately with a joke. A viewer has only so much attention to give, and if he's laughing, his mind is too busy with the joke to backtrack rationally.
4. Keep the trickery outside the frame. I take off my jacket and toss it aside. Then I reach into your pocket and pull out a tarantula. Getting rid of the jacket was just for my comfort, right? Not exactly. As I doffed the jacket, I copped the spider.

I have wanted to post something today in honor of San Jacinto Day. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to come up with something that tops last years. I kind of over did it last year. So, I thought about doing a Texas Top 10 but unfortunately already used most of my ideas in another post. Then I thought a tribute to Dr Pepper or barbecue but I've already done that as well. I have also already reposted a comedy routine about Texas attributed to Jeff Foxworthy.
For the non-Texans a brief overview of San Jacinto. 21 April 1836 the Texican forces under the command of General Sam Houston defeated the Mexican troops led by General Antonio López de Santa Anna. The short but decisive battle took place near Buffalo Bayou (Houston). While the Mexican forces were taking a nap, Houston launched an attack on the Mexican camp. By the time the Mexican forces woke and figured out what was happening it was all over but the shouting. The entire battle lasted 18 minutes, making it one of the shortest battles in military history. You read more about San Jacinto Day here. Please do not leave comments about how the Texas Revolution was really a plot by United States to steal Texas. When my family first moved to Texas they became Mexican Citizens.
In honor of San Jacinto Day I am sharing some well know contributions from Texas.
#10: Corny Dogs: Introduced by Neil and Carl Fletcher in the 1942 Texas State fair.
#9: Waco Suspension Bridge was the first suspension bridge in the United States.
#8: The Astrodome was the first domed stadium.
#7: Texas is the nations' leading producer of oil.
#6: Newsman Dan Rather got his big break covering Hurricane Carla for Houston's CBS affiliate in 1961.
#5: Dell Computers started by Michael Dell in his dorm room at the University of Texas.
#4: Raised in California Sci-Fi genius Gene Roddenberry was born in El Paso, Texas.
#3: Former Supreme Court Justice and Cowgirl Hall of Fame member Sandra Day O' Connor was born in El Paso. She was raised on her family's cattle ranch in Arizona.
#2: Blue Bell Ice Cream. In my opinion the most important product of the Post Oak Belt. I could really use a bowl of Blue Bell Banana Pudding right now.
#1: Dr. Pepper created in 1885 by Charles Alderton in the Old Corner Drug Store in Waco, Texas, it is the oldest major soft drink in the United States.

Minor oral surgery is used for the surgical treatment of dental problems that involve the teeth, jaws, gums, lips or mouth, soft tissues in the oral cavity, and the neck area.
This type of surgical treatment is used to address functional (and at times, the cosmetic) needs in the above-mentioned areas, which have been affected by injuries or diseases.
Tooth Extractions
– This type of minor oral surgery is done for teeth that have been damaged beyond repair, that no other dental treatment can save it (or improve its condition). A surgical tooth extraction can also be done in cases when the removal of a tooth (or several teeth) is needed as a preparation for an orthodontic treatment, so that the teeth can properly move into their desired position without overcrowding issues.
Dental Implant Treatment
– Dental implants are surgically embedded into the jaw bone to replace the form and function of missing natural teeth. Using a dental drill, the dentist will make a hole through the gums and the jaw bone; the resulting hole is where the implant will be embedded to form a secure base where the dental restoration will be attached to.
Wisdom Teeth Removal
– A wisdom tooth extraction is needed to remove a tooth that has not fully grown out from under the gum line, or is impacted. Problems with an impacted wisdom tooth include a great deal of pain, difficulties in cleaning the affected tooth, and improper tooth eruption especially when the tooth moves sideways and against surrounding teeth. The surgical procedure will involve making an incision on the gums, to gain access to the impacted tooth.
Endodontic Retreatment
– Also called a repeat root canal treatment, an endodontic retreatment is done on a tooth that has already been treated previously with a root canal procedure. This minor oral surgery is needed in cases when the first root canal treatment has failed, and the former symptoms (infection, dental abscess, or pain) come back.
TMJ Disorder Treatment
– Minor oral surgery is needed for the treatment of TMJ (Temporomandibular Joint) disorders which cannot be improved with medications, exercise, splints, or physical therapy. The surgical procedure is done on the jaw area, just like in cases when a specific jaw joint has been found to be suffering from TMJ problem.
– a surgical procedure that places a filling in the end of the tooth root and removes any infection from around the tip. The aim is to contain any bacteria that may be remaining within the canal system.
Minor oral surgery is recommended for those who need treatment for the following dental problems: impacted wisdom tooth, severely decayed or damaged teeth, infections in the tooth pulp and roots, missing teeth (for
dental implant treatment
), a failed root canal treatment, and TMJ disorders.
Minor oral surgeries offer huge benefits in cases when other treatments are not successful in addressing existing dental problems.
A dental surgical procedure will provide pain relief, removal of infection, and overall long-lasting treatment results for dental concerns that no other means will be able to address.
