I can't eat my daily meals if I am not cooking them from scratch. Even if takes 2 days for a special recipe. Readymade food just isn't that satisfying. There's so much fun, relaxation and destressin' in the kitchen after a long day at work. Outside food only once or twice in a week.

I need to develop a production system capable of storing a 100 kb textfile and a serial number for every piece produced. I know the approximate output over 2 years, the time the data has to be stored, and have calculated a need of around 25-30 TB of storage.
I have some experience working with databases, but handling that amount of data is new to me.
My first guess would be to simply store the files as a blob inside a table in the database. What are the problems of storing that amount of data in a single table? What are possible backup scenarios?
Another approach would be to store the data in several tables (e.g. a table per month).
A third approach would be to store references to the data in SQL Server, zip the files, and store them somewhere else.
The purpose of this storage system is to query the text file by using the serial number.
What would you do?

As the people of Jerusalem get ready to dedicate the newly built wall, there are three things they do. There is Preparation before the Purification and they finish with Praise. Mark takes us through chapter 12 and sees how these three points apply to our lives today.

Hi! My name is Lucy. You might well have seen me at Northington Stud and Stables. Francesca (riding instructor and owner of the yard) is my mum so I'm there quite often!
I have a pony called Rufus who I keep at the yard. He is super sweet and even though he is mine, people still ride him because I don't mind.
Rufus is 12.hh so quite small but some big people have ridden him. He used to be a livery owned by a very tall girl called Ruby but she got too big for him and so he was passed on to me.
I love spending time with the stable girls, practising for shows in spring and summer, learning to ride side-saddle, jumping, and lots, lots more! Fran is AMAZING – she helps me with all my riding. She sometimes even pays me for helping out!
Pony gossip, showing you how to pick out hooves or groom your pony, plaiting, more about how to look after your pony and telling what I've been up to with Rufus, I'll be sharing lots of things that we do at the yard on here so stay tuned!
Lucy and Rufus x

Thank God for another day.
This is how I look on my new route.
Quote for the day:
Could we change our attitude, we should not only see life differently, but life itself would come to be different. Life would undergo a change of appearance because we ourselves had undergone a change in attitude.
Have A Blessed Day

Pres. F. cam over to finish up that report and to get a new key for the new outer-front-door that Maria is installing. This door is a high-security type with metal pins that engage the frame and of the lock side it has seven bolts. Six are near the door knob and lock and the other one is down near the bottom of the door. Jani would be impressed! Brent and I had an errand and they were still working on this door when we got back!! Mid afternoon, Maria's son, wife and grandchild arrived.

Preparations are moving into top gear for the launch of Agni-II ballistic missile from the Wheeler Island on August 9, 2012. It will be a practice launch for the Strategic Forces Command (SFC) of the Army, which (SFC) is tasked with launching missiles that will carry nuclear warheads. The launch will take place from a rail-mobile system on the Wheeler Island off the Odisha coast. Agni-II is a surface-to-surface missile that can carry a nuclear warhead weighing one tonne. But in the mission on Thursday, it will carry only a dummy payload. The missile's range is 2,500 km.
Agni-II, developed by the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO), has already been inducted into the Army. It has two stages and both use solid fuel. The missile is more than 20 metres long and weighs 17 tonnes.
The SFC is looking forward to launching Agni-II on August 9 after it launched Agni-I missile on July 13, 2012. The flight of Agni-I on that day was flawless. Agni-I has a range of 700 km and it can carry nuclear warheads.
After the spectacular success of Agni-V, with a range of more than 5,000 km, during its maiden launch in April 2012, Agni variants "with different ranges, various capabilities, different platforms and the ability to deploy are getting tested," DRDO missile technologists said. Agni-IV will also be flight-tested.
BrahMos, India's supersonic cruise missile, failed in its flight on July 29, 2012. Informed sources said BrahMos developed "some problems" during its flight and "it deviated from its path." It could not travel its full range of 290 km and fell into the Bay of Bengal. A committee has been set up to analyse the telemetry. "It is not a serious problem in the system. The failure perhaps had something to do with production, with the indigenisation process," the sources said.
A press release on that day, however, did not mention that BrahMos had failed in its flight. It merely said the 32 flight test of BrahMos took place at 10.30 a.m. from a test range at Chandipur, off the Odisha coast, as part of the development trials. The objective of the mission was to evaluate some of the newer sub-systems which were produced by the Indian industry as part of the product stabilisation, it said. More than 25 such systems were incorporated in the missile. BrahMos, which carries conventional warheads, has already been inducted into the Army and the Navy. The missile travels at 2.8 times the speed of sound.

Robe Dacron
A really pretty peasant/folkwear inspired collection by Dacron, which was available through Prisunic, the French department store chain, famed for its low cost products. It also got me thinking about some of my other favourite Dacron Polyester adverts from around the same period, particularly the commercials made for television and cinema viewers which were narrated by Ken Nordine, the American voiceover and recording artist best known for his series of Word Jazz albums. If you haven't seen them or heard of him yet, you're in for a treat on both counts via the two examples that I have included in this post. Lots more links to further information about Ken, as well as the Prisunic chain store at the end of the page too!

I've come across a problem with the size of coefficients of a series expansion. Here's an example of an expression that I expand into a power series:
$\displaystyle\frac{1-e^{i3n\cdot t}}{1-e^{i\cdot n\cdot t}}$ where $n \in \mathbb{N}$ and $t \in \mathbb{R}$
The problem is that I'd like to work with small coefficient values, but the values increase exponentially with $n$.
One question that seems natural to ask in this case is, "Can we find another series with smaller coefficients?". Let me explain a little. I'm fiddling with an integration technique for specific forms of integrals, and I use the series expansions to help with the integration. I can fairly easily work with more terms, but it's hard to work with larger values of coefficients. This may seem a bit contrary to many mathematicians' experiences.
What I'm getting at is that I'd like to find alternatives to power series expansions. In other words, is there literature on series expansions other than power series expansions? I've seen series like Dirchlet series and whatnot, but I'm specifically interested in finding series expansions for functions of exponentials. And, of course, I'm hoping that I can find ones whose terms are smaller than the corresponding power series expansions.

I love that this gardener has created three horizontal layers of pots: on the sidewalk, on the suspended shelves, and on top of the cinderblock wall. There are also several levels of trees popping up from the micro space between the home and the wall. Along with the notice board and the bike parking, the garden shows how to maximize a limited space.

My five-day solo trip to Bogota was one of the most adventurous trips I've done so far. It was difficult to communicate with others because not too many people spoke English (not even my hotel front desk agents). Everyone was pretty much Spanish, as I realized Bogota was not a very diverse place.
As a Hong-Kong born Chinese walking down the streets of Bogota, I got a lot of attention from the locals. Everywhere I went I would hear Spanish citizens whispering aloud, "China! China! China!" On my first day of the trip, I remember I was hiking the Monserrate when two young men approached me. I couldn't comprehend what they were saying, and I was terrified when one of them reached into their pockets (all the terror stories my Colombian friends told me before my trip were getting to my head)… To my surprise he pulled out a digital camera and they only wanted to take photos with me.
This has never happened to me before on my travels so I wasn't expecting it. For the rest of the trip, I got use to people coming up to me for photos… I got a little taste of what it's like to be a mini celebrity, hahaha!

Three years ago I received a phone call to my dorm room saying that my younger brother had suffered a seizure. I was shocked to say the least and ever since that night a lot of things have changed in my family. The best way to describe how my family works now is to think of us as a bowl of epilepsy soup.
There is no question in my mind that my mom would be the broth keeping us all together. She is always trying to think of the positive and our 'soup' just wouldn't be the same without her. My dad would definitely be the noodles. You can have the broth but it just doesn't work without the noodles. My dad keeps us all on track whether it is my brother's medication or just life in general. There is no question that my younger sister would be the spices, aka flavor. She has been the person to bring laughter to a lot of difficult times. As for my brother, he would be the spoon. I know you are thinking that the spoon has nothing to do with the soup but it plays one of the most important parts. You can't enjoy the different components of soup without a device such as a spoon. My brother "spoon" has brought us all together, not only when he was diagnosed with Epilepsy but more recently through all of the different things he has been involved in, such as Purple Day.
Now I know you are thinking that I forgot about myself, but you're wrong because I didn't. If our family was soup, I would be the grilled cheese. Whenever you have soup you probably always want to have some grilled cheese too, but that doesn't always happen. I am currently in college so I don't get to be home often with my family. But just like grilled cheese I would always prefer to be there with the 'soup'.
Purple Day is March 26th – Wear your purple to support epilepsy awareness globally. Visit www.purpleday.org.

President Ramaley's Bookshelf: April 2011
Spring semester is more than halfway over. I have been thinking about how soon graduation will arrive and about what it means to be educated. When I start thinking this way, I am inevitably drawn to books that explore both the larger world around us and the complex world within us. I have always learned best when three different things come together in the right wayreading about something, informed conversation and, where possible, seeing something for myself. This pattern can unfold in any combination or order but all three things must eventually happen if I am to make sense of something complex or unfamiliar. Lately, every book I pick up seems to carry some version of the idea of seeing, reading and reflecting, embodied in a story of discovery. The voyage can be high adventure or a quiet reflection on the daily events of ones own life.
Let us start with high adventureDarwins Armada: Four Voyages and the Battle for the Theory of Evolution by Iain McCalman. Darwins Armada is the tale of four different long ocean voyages in the 1800s to remote places on the globe. Each voyage was undertaken as a scientific expedition and each protagonist was serving as a naturalist and a collector of plants and animals to send to scientists back home in England. Each young man carried with him a library of the most challenging scientific works of his time. During his voyage on The Beagle, Charles Darwin pored over one of the most influential and provocative scientific treatises in history, Charles Lyells Principles of Geology, and another provocative treatise, An Essay on the Principle of Population by Thomas Malthus. Influenced by these ideas, Darwin began to see that the physical world was not unchanging but instead continuously sculpted by natural forces. It followed naturally that plants and animals were changing too, driven by another set of natural forces that eventually he would call natural selection.
McCalmans imaginative recreation of four voyages offers a rare perspective on how many of the things we take for granted today were first seen and understood, and how ideas circulating at the time contributed to how these early observers made sense of what they saw. We are offered the chance to peer into the lives and experiences of four adventurersDarwin himself and three young men who later became Darwins close associates and fellow advocates for the theory of evolution: Joseph Hooker, the botanist; Thomas Huxley, the eloquent and implacable defender of evolutionary theory; and Alfred Russel Wallace, the co-discoverer of natural selection. As you read this book, you can hear the wind in the rigging, the sound of the ships bells pealing out the watch, the groaning of a ship under shortened sail in a tempest. In his own way, each man began to see the natural world and our place in that world in new ways that have left an indelible mark on our understandings today. They read, they saw for themselves, and eventually they had informed debates with each other and with their critics.
One wonders, however, what was really going on in the minds of these men as they sailed through unknown waters and set foot on land rarely, if ever, visited by Europeans. We do know that one thing these experiences inspired was a sense of wonder. Shortly after I finished Darwins Armada, I had the privilege of meeting Krista Tippett, the host of Speaking of Faith on National Public Radio (NPR), who was on campus to deliver a lecture. Excerpts from her radio program, now called On Being, are captured in her book Einsteins God, a series of conversations about the connection between our inner lives and the scientific discoveries about the world around us. Her guests talk about the sense of wonder generated by our study of nature.
Although there are still opportunities for adventure and discovery in the natural world, our own inner landscape offers an ever engaging fresh domain for exploration. These landscapes, too, can generate wonder. Reading about inner voyages can have its challenges. In her book entitled How to Live or A Life of Montaigne, Sarah Bakewell provides a wonderful study of the life and thoughts of one of our most famous essayists, Michel de Montaigne, the first to write in depth about his own experiences and thoughts. Montaigne didnt write about what he was supposed to think or see or feel as was expected of writers in his day. He paid attention to what he really saw and felt and, by doing so, left behind a record that every generation since then has chosen to read in the light of its own time. Intrigued by Bakewells book, I downloaded Montaignes Essays onto my handy Kindle e-reader and began to read. I confess that I find that reading Montaigne is somewhat like having a conversation with a very interesting but rather odd friend whose thoughts wander about at times and who leaves me a few steps behind him trying to figure out where he is headed. Most of us probably try to tidy up our thoughts when we talk with other people. Not Montaigne!
Together, these books shed an interesting light on some perennial questions about the nature of discovery and journeys through both natural and internal landscapesHow do we learn? How do we make sense of what we see? What can we do with the deep sense of awe that an examined life can engender in us? These questions lead me back to my initial thoughts about graduation day. Have we prepared our students well? Have they learned to be open to the unexpected, to absorb and then reflect upon the daily as well as the sublime?

To the editor: Those of us who were in the U.S. Navy Medical Corps during World War II and the Korean Conflict remember well a peculiar diagnosis temed "postinfectious mononucleosis asthenia." This diagnosis was made in those persons with definite infectious mononucleosis who complained of fatigue, poor exercise tolerance, and depression after all clinical signs of illness were over. They sometimes remained in hospital for months before they could return to duty. I am sure that many of my colleagues were of the opinion, as I was, that the diagnosis was a brick made of gold.

An article about Timothy Bazarrabusa in the Sunday Vision
A couple of weeks ago I received a message via this blog from a Ugandan journalist who was writing an article on Timothy Bazarrabusa for the Sunday Vision newspaper. This was an exciting development, so I quickly set about providing corrections and additions to the author's text and preparing images as per his request.

Bazarrabusa's books finally on the Fountain Publishers site!
Fountain Publishers have finally upgraded their web site (using, by the looks of it, the open source e-commerce package osCommerce). They've also updated their catalog, so Bazarraubusa's books now appear.
At first glance, I thought Obu Ndikura Tindifa was missing. But a quick search revealed that it is present in the catalog; it has simply been mistakenly attributed to a certain S. Byakutaaga. This should be easy to correct, and I've contacted Fountain to draw their attention to the error.
Research Trip: London & Bristol, August 2007
It's fairly difficult to do primary research on anglophone Africa if you live in France. There are some resources in libraries such as the Bibliothèque des langues orientales, the Bibliothèque de documenation internationale contemporaine (at Nanterre) and the Bibliothèque publique d'information (in the Centre Pompidou), but more obscure sources are often difficult to find. For this reason (among others, of course), I try to get over to the UK as often as I can.

Bazarrabusa's death: accident or assassination?

Why BazBlog?
The genesis of Bazarrabusa: A Ugandan Life
A few years ago, in the chaotic attic of a long-neglected family house in England, I discovered several books by my maternal grandfather Timothy Bazarrabusa. Alongside these novels in a language I couldn't decipher there were some old photos, a couple of photocopied documents, and a tiny page of notes in my father's handwriting. Over the following years, I began to investigate these fragmentary leads as a diversion from my research in French colonial history. What started as a casual interest in a long-departed forebear has now become a viable research undertaking, and a vehicle for inquiry into the possibilities of digital scholarship.

Working on a new update? trainer #2 ain't working for me & the features are beyond epic.
there is no need for another trainer. the second trainer with all the options has been working since the game came out.

Would that be possible?

Would that be possible?

One more set of shots before the month is out. The photos I have included today are from a game that Andrew Parr and Adam Burke played in Adams garage. The game focased on a small proportion from the Battle of Talavera (1809). Adam has made all the terrain himself which has been a ongoing project for the last nine months. He has done a fantastic job and I hope to see more of his terrain in the future.
The majority of the figures displayed are from Andrews collection and come from a wide range of manufactures, ranging from Old Glory, Foundry to Elite Miniatures. I think most of Adam figures are from the Foundry collection.
I have also included a number of Andrews friends', Evans, superbly painted 18mm AB collection.

Michael R. Bloomberg, determined to parlay his government experience and vast fortune into a kind of global mayoralty, is creating a high-powered consulting group to help him reshape cities around the world long after he leaves office.
To build the new organization, paid for out of his own pocket, the billionaire mayor is taking much of his City Hall team with him: He has already hired many of his best-known and longest-serving deputies, promising them a chance to export the policies they developed in New York to far-flung places like Louisville, Ky., and Mexico City.
For Mr. Bloomberg, the project is the first concrete phase of a post-mayoral life that aides said would remain intensely focused on cities, long viewed by him as laboratories for large-scale experiments in public health, economic development and environmental sustainability.
Above all, the new endeavor reflects a profound confidence — never in short supply with this mayor — that it would behoove dozens of municipalities to replicate the ideas that defined his tenure: turning busy roads into pedestrian plazas, posting calorie counts in fast-food chains, creating a customer-service hotline for citizens.
"We have heard this huge demand and need from other cities to learn from New York City," said Amanda M. Burden, the director of city planning in the Bloomberg administration, who plans to join the consulting group.
"Under this mayor," she added, "New York is the epitome that cities look to of how to get things done."
The organization, to be called Bloomberg Associates, will act as an urban SWAT team, deployed at the invitation of local governments to solve knotty, long-term challenges, like turning a blighted waterfront into a gleaming public space, or building subway-friendly residential neighborhoods.
In a twist on the traditional business model of consulting, clients will not be charged.
Much about the new group is still unknown. But as with most of Mr. Bloomberg's undertakings over the past decade, it will involve spending eye-popping sums of money with no expectation of earning a profit. (The annual budget will run in the tens of millions.)
The group resembles a government in exile. Mr. Bloomberg has recruited at least half a dozen top aides from his administration, including Janette Sadik-Khan, the transportation commissioner; Katherine Oliver, the commissioner of media and entertainment; and Kate D. Levin, the cultural affairs commissioner.
Bloomberg Associates will be run by George A. Fertitta, who as chief executive of the city's tourism agency oversaw a record increase in annual visitors to New York, to 54 million this year. Mr. Fertitta said in an interview that the group would eventually expand to about 20 to 25 employees, most of them drawn from the mayor's office, who will work closely with Mr. Bloomberg's sprawling charitable foundation, Bloomberg Philanthropies. (Like the foundation, the consultancy will be housed inside a giant townhouse on the Upper East Side, around the corner from the mayor's home.)
The consulting group is the latest chapter in Mr. Bloomberg's long journey from political neophyte to much-admired mentor to fellow mayors, dozens of whom have flocked to City Hall to study his open-seat bullpen layout, attended his conferences about urban innovation and applied for grants from his foundation (called "mayors' school" by several city leaders who have spent time there).
Mr. Bloomberg's influence has already reached from Miami to Los Angeles, Chicago to Newark.
Mayor Mitchell J. Landrieu of New Orleans recalled receiving a $4 million grant from Mr. Bloomberg last year to hire a team of eight outside experts that advised the city on how to lower its murder rate. Since then, the city has created a multiagency team to combat gang activity, set up a midnight basketball league to keep young men off the streets and pushed to make it harder for those charged with gun crimes to get out of jail.
The murder rate in New Orleans has fallen by 17 percent this year.
"To his credit," Mr. Landrieu said of Mr. Bloomberg, "this guy is putting his personal money into making city government work better."
Mr. Bloomberg, a careful student of numbers, argues that investments in cities make mathematical sense: More than half the world's population lives in urban areas, a figure expected to surge to about 70 percent over the next 40 years. The larger the city, the likelier that a big idea will catch fire and be adopted elsewhere, as the mayor showed with his ban on smoking in restaurants and trans-fats in foods.
"Great cities steal ideas from each other," said Edward Skyler, a former deputy mayor in Mr. Bloomberg's City Hall and now a top executive at Citigroup.
Ms. Sadik-Khan, the transportation commissioner, said that mayors are routinely startled to learn how little money and staffing are required to create the bike lanes, pedestrian plazas and slower-speed zones that have remade New York City's streets under Mr. Bloomberg.
"You can make these changes quickly and inexpensively," she said, adding that "the success we've had here can be tailored and replicated in other places."
Bloomberg Associates expects a measure of skepticism from officials in faraway metropolises who may chafe at a New York-centric approach. "It requires sensitivity," said Ms. Sadik-Khan, whose agenda has stirred sometimes intense neighborhood backlash.
Mr. Fertitta said the group's work could extend into new areas over time, like security and law enforcement. Those people close to Mr. Bloomberg said he would be eager to bring his departing police commissioner, Raymond W. Kelly, to Bloomberg Associates, a prospect Mr. Fertitta did not rule out.
A tricky topic: whether to offer guidance to New York. The mayor-elect, Bill de Blasio, ran a campaign that frequently maligned Bloomberg-era management and is seeking to become a national leader of his own, on the issue of income inequality.
"Sure, if they are looking for advice," Mr. Fertitta said. Then he added another qualifier: "If there is not a conflicting relationship there."
He said the organization would try to work with four to six cities a year. Given the mayor's reputation and largess, Mr. Fertitta expects no problem finding clients.
"There will be people," he predicted, "who will be lined up at the door."

People often choose to forget the past as looking back can be painful. But when it comes to disasters, lessons from history should always be remembered. This could help you survive when disasters strike again.
This is one lesson I got from the second and final leg of the HANDs! (Hope and Dreams) Project, a research trip organized by the Japan Foundation Asia Center, focusing on disaster and environmental education + creativity.
In 2016, the HANDs fellows visited Manila, Philippines and Bali, Indonesia. This year, we headed to Phuket and Phang Nga, Thailand and Kobe, Japan.
The Thailand phase started with a site visit and dialogue at the Bangla Village Mangrove Forest. Members of the community expressed how the mangroves helped protect them from the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami and are therefore very motivated in preserving the forest.
We then headed to Baan Nam Kem where we listened to stories of the tsunami survivors and learned about community based disaster risk management.
The rest of our stay in Thailand was spent in Yaowawit School, a real-life education facility for orphans and less privileged, which was founded by German philanthropist Philipp Graf von Hardenberg initially meant to help tsunami victims.
Lectures and workshops on sustainability and gamification were given by Robert Steele, a sustainability expert, and Ruttikorn Vuttikorn, a game designer. After which, fellows had to design games and activities for the "Alarm Cat," a disaster and environmental education program for students of Yaowawit. It was a joy to interact with the children of the school and be able to promote disaster preparedness and environmentalism through creative means.
We said our khop kun krap (thank you) and bid goodbye to the heat of Thailand as Kobe, Japan's cold embrace welcomed us.
The trip in Japan began with a tour of the Disaster Reduction and Human Renovation Institute (DRI) which was established to archive and preserve the memories and lessons from the 1995 Great Hanshin-awaji earthquake. Hearing stories and going through the interactive exhibition of DRI was emotional but the importance of learning from the past to minimize risk and damage in the future is further emphasized.
A session and site visit of another disaster, the Toga River flash flood highlighted how providing sufficient information and education on disaster could save lives.
We learned about local initiatives on disaster prevention and environmental education from non-profit organizations namely Plus Arts, Kiko Network, and Tamba Greenpartner. We also participated in the "Iza! Kaeru Caravan," a disaster drill program of Plus Arts, and facilitated games and activities for children.
Guided by HANDs adviser, Hirokazu Nagata, the fellows developed disaster and environmental education action plans to be implemented in our respective countries. We got additional inspiration to be more creative and to think outside the box from Kiito, Design and Creative Center in Kobe, which served as our work station.
HANDs Project provided a rare opportunity of visiting many places, learning from various experts and institutions, and forging friendships with co-fellows. And though the research trips ended, this is simply the beginning of more collaborations as we continue building our hopes and dreams towards a more resilient and more environmentally sustainable future.

The phrase "chemistry set" is embedded in the collective unconscious, but try to actually call one to mind. What does a chemistry set look like? What does it include? What can you do with it? If you're anything close to being a millennial, you probably have only vague answers to these questions. If you're a little older, however, you probably remember one of the classic sets that is responsible for our powerful (if nonspecific) connection to the concept of a chemistry set. Chief among these, in many people's eyes, is the Gilbert Chemistry Set, which inspired untold numbers of young people to study chemistry.
Now a new Kickstarter wants to help adults and children alike recapture an excitement that most of them have never actually known. Research chemist John Kuhns has been making wood-box chemistry sets for years, mostly as gifts and small sales direct to friends and family, but now he wants to scale up the operation and bring the tools of real chemists back to the everyday home.
His Heirloom Chemistry Set is certainly focused on nostalgia more heavily than on affordability; with a box of birch including mahogany inlays, the set is hardly cheap, and is clearly meant to be kept visible within the house. This is half chemistry set, half personal statement.
The Kickstarter's tiers range from under $10 to almost $1,000, but you'll be pledging at least $175 to secure the lowest-end kit. Even this comes with 64 chemicals, however, that can be mixed to do things like start a small fire or display acid-base reactivity. Bumping up to $225 will score you a nice array of glassware to go with it — and if you're shelling out for the chemicals you definitely want the proper, non-reactive beakers to mix them in. The $550 and $900 tiers seem to provide diminishing returns, adding a book and alcohol lamp and a hand-held scale, respectively.
So where did the chemistry set get off to? With so many shiny toys to distract, it's possible that the lure of simple chemical reactions became dulled, and there was definitely an aspect of consumer apathy in the downfall of the chemistry set. Just as important, though, was a sort of arm-flapping parental panic that ignorantly branded all chemicals as dangerous. This is the mentality that decided the possibility of a minor chemical spill was scary enough to warrant sheltering a child from truly creative toolsets. This is the generation that drove Lego to making almost exclusively pre-made sets.
This Heirloom Chemistry Set is equal parts chemistry set and attempt to recapture the past. While this might find its way to a few kids, it definitely seems like a project designed for the adult child on everyone's wish list. With just $3,000 left to raise at time of writing, and over 40 days in which to do it, this set seems destined for success. The only question is whether you want to get in now, or wait for the price to go up a few months down the road.

I was wondering (for button down shirts, as I tend to wear these to work), has anyone cut a slit up the back, that would then allow it to fit more loosely in the mid-section?

this is a heartfelt video that I am making. My dog i rescued from a shelter five years ago is like my best friend. About three months ago he was diagnosed with bone cancer in his front paw well front arm. Over the past three months it has swelled up almost double the size. He no longer steps on its but is able to get along on his other three legs. When we come home from work he is still there waiting for us wagging his tail. We were watching TV he is still there laying with us as part of the family. When is the right time for us to consider his suffering? He seems uncomfortable at times yet he is still very much with us everyday and part of us.
Thanks for Watching

New research shows that eating good food increased productivity in the workplace. Dietary changes alone also led to less anxiety, depression, fatigue – and weight; so good for your bottom line in more ways than one!
What changes made the difference? This week we investigate - and a clue - it was NOT the Paleo Diet.
Then amidst the shocking admission by social entrepreneur and fundraiser Belle Gibson that she lied about ever having the terminal brain cancer she claimed to have overcome, and some very harsh commentary in the social media and press, I share my own thoughts on the matter.
But first, inspired by the passing of a dear friend, Sandy Dean who was a much loved member of the Wednesdays with Ian group
Thought for the day
If ever there is a tomorrow when we are not together
There is something you must always remember;
You are braver than you believe
Stronger than you seem
And smarter than you think.
But most importantly, even if we are apart,
I will always be with you.
Christopher Robin reading to Winnie the Pooh
Many years ago, I heard of an American study that showed feeding healthy food to prisoners in jail led to reduced recidivism rates (the rate prisoners return to jail after release).
Now a new study, published in the American Journal of Health Promotion reports that an 18-week dietary intervention program in a corporate setting increased employee productivity, while reducing symptoms of anxiety, depression, and fatigue.
Researchers collaborated with GEICO (The Government Employees Insurance Company - the second largest insurer of vehicles in the USA). Employees who had a BMI of 25 or above or a previous diagnosis of type 2 diabetes, were encouraged to adopt a diet many of you will be familiar with – and benefit from.
So yes, the diet that led to all these constructive changes was a low-fat, low-glycemic, high-fibre, plant-based diet. As well, participants joined in weekly "lunch-and-learn" sessions to ask questions, learn the science behind the diet, and experiment with new recipes.
GEICO supported the research in a very real way. The company stocked its cafeterias with healthful
vegan options, including hummus vegetable sandwiches, leafy green salads, and black bean chili.
In 18 weeks, as well as the improvements in productivity and reductions in symptoms of anxiety, depression, fatigue, and general health problems, study participants lost an average of around 4 kgs and lowered their average LDL cholesterol levels by 13 points. Those who had type 2 diabetes also saw improvements in blood sugar control.
Previous research shows a plant-based diet can improve overall mood even outside the workplace simply by adding more fruits and vegetables to your diet.
Obesity currently affects 35 % of U.S. adults and accounts for $73 billion in lost productivity costs every year. Depression affects 9.5 % of the adult U.S. population, accounting for $83 billion in lost productivity each year.
"Helping employees improve their health through a plant-based dietary intervention is a win-win situation for employees and the company," says study author Dr Neal Barnard. "Who doesn't want to feel great, increase energy, and maximize productivity in the process?"

Forgiveness is easy
One has to feel deeply for Belle Gibson who in falsely claiming to have recovered from terminal
cancer has lived out the most extra-ordinary lie.
In doing so she misled many, tainted cancer charities widely, confirmed in at least one instance what lazy sceptics often fall back on generally - that remarkable cancer recoveries are "too good to be true", and let many people down badly.
So condoning what she did? Never. Saying it was OK? Never. Saying she will have major consequences to deal with? Certainly. But forgiveness? Easy!
How sad to get to a point in life where doing such a thing seems OK and actually happens. While it is easy to recognise that what Belle did was abhorrent, we can only feel compassion for her as a person, and hope she is getting the help she needs.

The share of renters paying 30% or more of their household income on housing costs — the government threshold to determine if housing is unaffordable — rose to 53% last year from 51.5% in 2009 and about 50% in 2008, according to 2010 Census data released today.
If the market is so damn efficient, then why isn't some wealthy REIT-type company buying up all these cheap, foreclosed houses, fixing them up, hiring superintendents to maintain them, and renting them? They could lock in very low long-term interest rates on mortgages, immediately start making profit, and have a long-term land speculation investment to boot.
I guess if the invisible hand of the market is really God, as Republicans seem to think, then God doesn't want people to have affordable housing.

Fraser further states parents in Britain now fund more than a quarter of purchases in the housing market, as their children and the younger geneations struggle to get on the ladder.
Statistics from Legal & General highlight that last year 26% of deposits were paid for with the help of a family member- with parents provididng deposits for an estimated 298,000 mortgages.

I've been in good spirits with the news of my doubling beta. I've had regular cramping, sore breasts, food aversions, heartburn etc. Even though the physical symptoms are uncomfortable, it brings me much comfort every time a symptom rears it's head.
I can't express to you how much I want to see the flicker of a tiny heartbeat on the 16th since we never got to see it in our first pregnancy/miscarriage. Week after week we'd go to the OB and some progress would be made, but no heartbeat. We'd tell ourselves "Maybe next week" but it never happened. And at 9w1d it was over. I'm trying to make myself believe that this time will be different and we may actually get to experience that beautiful heartbeat this time. I still can't help but be scared as the memories of my first pregnancy come rushing back.
In the meantime, I'm trying to keep myself occupied while cooped up at home.
I decided to conquer a pinterest craft and made myself this DIY sharpie mug.

Don't Compromise Your Safety
An important element of safety is personal protective equipment (PPE). This must be provided to phlebotomists by their facility and may include gloves, lab coats, and protective eyewear.
An N95 respirator (shown in the lower image) or other respiratory protection may be required to protect the phlebotomist from Mycobacterium tuberculosis or other airborne infectious agents. Phlebotomists and other healthcare workers must be medically cleared and fit-tested to wear N95 respirators.
Gloves are required during every phlebotomy procedure. The gloves must remain totally intact. The gloves cannot be altered in any way as to expose the hand or fingers to potential bloodborne pathogens. Never remove all or part of the finger tip of the glove while performing venipuncture.

Who, you may ask is Philippa Gregory? She is a historical fiction writer whose background as a bona fide historian paved the way for her acclaimed novels, one of which has been adapted by both TV and film: The Other Boleyn Girl is perhaps her best known work to date. The movie, which stars contemporary film ingenues Scarlett Johanssen and Natalie Portman, along with one of my personal favorites, Eric Bana, was nominated for three awards. More than anything else, the book and film rekindled a worldwide fascination for the Tudor period.
In The White Queen, Gregory maps out the intriguing lives of the Plantagenets, the family of royals that preceeded the Tudors. The book does so by focusing on Elizabeth Woodville and her secret marriage to the King of England, a union that would spawn one of the greatest tragedies and mysteries in history: The young princes who were imprisoned in the London Tower, all for the sake of ambition and greed. The White Queen is the first in Gregory's new series of books.

Yes-that is exactly how I felt yesterday. I mean it sure was a special day (my birthday :)) but what made it all the more memorable was the fact that so many acquaintances (my family members, friends, relatives, office peers etc) called up to convey their sincere wishes in diverse styles and modes of expressions (Phone, Gtalk, Orkut, Mail, Songs) ! Was the universe a bit brighter yesterday or was it just one of those "perfect days" - I wondered...
Trrrringggg - Trrrringggg
Me (Happy): Thanks a lot bud - I am great...How about you?
Friend (Curious): Good Good...So where's the party tonight? And yes, it better be a grand one dude !
Me (Happier): Planning to go to a Mexican Restaurant nearby, they have a dance floor in there as well-come on over...We'll have a blast !
And then your mind goes off to the races-very quickly it scans the memory archive, gets you back a visual/sensory snapshot of the moment when you and your friend last met and had a fantastic time and thus you become cheerful for a while! Now, before you settle down (to your equilibrium mental state), you receive another call from an even closer friend and your happiness reserves remain full. Fast forward 5 hours-you are one of the happiest person in the town :) And when a sumptuous dinner with room-mates and some fancy footwork (dance)marks the end of your day-you wonder how come the world has become such an awesome place at once....Which is why I said I felt "Positively Radiant" :D
Now on days when you don't have your birthday here's what happens (I think)...
Eventually your mind reverts back to its equilibrium state and you again engage yourself with tasks that you usually do to spend your weekend. And in case you are not one of those cheerful kind of homo-sapient, you end up focussing on the "not-have" elements in your life again huh'! The solution-either be on phone with your well-wishers all the time all the time (if you can afford it:)) or engage yourself in things you really love doing-singing, dancing, writing, drawing, traveling, watching movie etc. and yes do wish your friends on their birthdays. You never know - just one phone call can make their day brighter !
Oh by the way-thanks a lot Dad, Mom, Surabhi, Juhi & all my amazing friends for the lovely presents & associated surprises - I can't cease admiring them or talking about 'em to my friends over & over again :) The Esprit glasses were an instant hit and so was the Blackberry Wallet and the carved Coffee Mug (the most creative present). Love y'all so much!
