Dem super PAC made dollars count
Majority PAC's role became almost as important as the Senate Democrats' traditional campaign apparatus — the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee. The two organizations played an inside-outside game; one would go dark and the other would put TV ads in a critical state. Democrats, like their Republican counterparts, avoided legal restrictions on coordinating the efforts of super PACs and parties, but it was clear where the various national committees and super PACs would focus their efforts.
The DSCC's "independent expenditure" arm, funded but not controlled by the committee, received more than $33 million by mid-October, campaign records show. The DSCC, chaired by Washington Sen. Patty Murray, a close ally of Reid and Schumer, transferred more than $14 million to state parties — much of which went to TV ads — and tens of millions more went for field operatives and DSCC-run media blitzes.
Yet when Democrat Tim Kaine was dark in Virginia in midsummer, Majority PAC jumped in, unleashing more than $5 million worth of blistering ads attacking Kaine's Republican opponent, George Allen, while promoting Kaine's record as governor. As Democrat Heidi Heitkamp strove to project an above-the-fray image in North Dakota, Majority PAC — like the DSCC — went hard after Republican Rick Berg. And as Republican Tommy Thompson was replenishing his war chest after a brutal Wisconsin Republican primary, Majority PAC and its allies in the labor world unleashed a barrage of assaults that helped Democrat Tammy Baldwin.
"There was a lot of philosophical aversion to accepting the reality. Whether you like Citizens United or not, it was the law of the land, and unless you adapted to the new legal and financial realities, you would fall behind," said Craig Varoga, a Reid confidant of three decades who now runs Patriot Majority, Majority PAC's nonprofit. "We were frankly in some cases swimming upstream."
Majority PAC's origins go back to 2009, when McCue arranged an introductory meeting between Varoga and Reid's political guru, David Krone, now chief of staff in the majority leader's office, over coffee at a Capitol Hill Starbucks.
That meeting helped lay the foundation for the PAC Patriot Majority's $10 million involvement in Reid's 2010 Senate race. The group first helped tear down Reid's strongest GOP opponent in the primary — Sue Lowden — and followed with a barrage of attacks on the tea party favorite, Sharron Angle, who ended up losing the general election to Reid.
Other key players include Rebecca Lambe, an engineer of Reid's political machine in Nevada; Jake Perry, the senator's chief fundraiser; and J.B. Poersch, the former DSCC executive director and a Schumer confidant.
The Senate map looked bad for Democrats in 2012, with 23 Democratic seats up for reelection versus only 10 Republican seats, and a narrow six-seat majority to protect in the wake of the GOP landslide of 2010.

States who are growing tired of the overreaching tentacles of the federal government have been enacting legislation that tells the Feds "no" on issues ranging from medical marijuana, gun control, healthcare and drivers' licenses. The Associated Press reported that by its analysis, about four-fifths of the states have such laws:
"The recent trend began in Democratic leaning California with a 1996 medical marijuana law and has proliferated lately in Republican strongholds like Kansas, where Gov. Sam Brownback this spring became the first to sign a measure threatening felony charges against federal agents who enforce certain firearms laws in his state. Some states, such as Montana and Arizona, have said 'no' to the feds again and again — passing states' rights measures on all four subjects examined by the AP — despite questions about whether their 'no' carries any legal significance…. About 20 states have enacted measures challenging Obama's 2010 health care laws, many of which specifically reject the provision mandating that most people have health insurance or face tax penalties beginning in 2014."
The AP quoted Adam Winkler, a Constitutional Law professor at UCLA, regarding these nullification efforts. "The law is clear," he said. "The supremacy clause (of the U.S. Constitution) says specifically that the federal laws are supreme over contrary state laws, even if the state doesn't like those laws."
But what if these laws are bad and unconstitutional? These big government types never quote the whole "Supremacy Clause" from Article VI of the Constitution. Here's the text, and I'm going to leave out a key phrase that completely changes the sense of the clause. See if you can figure out what I left out:
"This Constitution, and the Laws of the United States; and all treaties made, or which shall be made, under the authority of the United States, shall be the supreme law of the land; and the judges in every state shall be bound thereby, anything in the constitution or laws of any state to the contrary notwithstanding."
That's exactly how these big government advocates read the Supremacy Clause. But there's a key phrase that's been taken out. The text from Article VI, Clause 2 includes the phrase "which shall be made in pursuance thereof." In context, it reads, "This Constitution, and the Laws of the United States, which shall be made in pursuance thereof…shall be the supreme law of the land…"
If the feds enact laws that violate the Constitution, states should consider those laws null and void. Nullification is another check and balance on a system comprised of sinful human beings who are given to errors in judgment. The feds are going to make bad laws, because right now, they're power hungry. I don't care if a judge agrees with them. There has to be a way to counteract bad, unconstitutional federal laws. And nullification is that "rightful remedy," as Thomas Jefferson called it.

We have all been sick here over the past few days and I can't seem to look at this computer screen and see straight at the moment so this post will be less words, more pictures.
Portland Waldorf School's early childhood lantern walk happened on Saturday (K's Martinmas lantern walk is happening soon). A beautiful evening with wonderful friends.
Halloween costumes were thrown together last minute and thankfully were all made from things we already had on hand. K was a bride. She did her hair "all fancy" and even made her own earrings out of some geode pieces. C was Little Red Riding Hood (using K's costume I made a couple of years ago), Little L was a monkey and Beowulf was a big bad wolf, of course! Ferocious looking, isn't he? There were some mud pies to be made for their "friend skeletons" before we left for the evening.
The Halloween Fairy brought Little L a wooden train whistle and a Crystal Growing Giant Sequoia for each of the girls. The Sequoia kit may be the best Halloween Fairy gift yet. I wish I could have snapped a picture of it before the girls moved it off it's shelf and some of the leaves fell off but hopefully you get the picture. I can't seem to find the kits online but you can see a similar volcano kit made by the same company here. We just might have to try that one, too!

Southeast Content Production Jobs & Scoop
The following is part two of a piece by noted and accomplished Atlanta actor Steve Coulter. Be sure to check out Part 1 here.
The following is a guest post from probably one of the most well known, well respected working actors in Atlanta, Steve Coulter. Steve rarely toots his own horn, so we'll say he's the real deal, with TV credits like In the Heat of the Night, Dawson's Creek, One Tree Hill, Prison Break, Army Wives, and of course The Walking Dead. Feature films include Madea's Family Reunion, Hunger Games, Anchorman 2, Furious 7, and Birth of a Nation. How cool is it that Content South readers can get the below personal advice on how to work on a set and not look like an amateur moron in the process.
Georgia Production Partnership Lets You Go From Outsider to Insider
The Georgia Production Partnership continues to grow rapidly in membership as the Film and Television Industry expands in Georgia, making GPP a top community leader in the Georgia Entertainment Industry. Now ranked 3rd in the nation for Filmmaking, Georgia is a film destination to be reckoned with.
Got scoop of your own to tell Atlanta? Email it to email@example.com
Tip: If you're still getting auditions from your agent, all the previous auditions were done well. Trust me.
Need improvement? Not booking? Good voice over agents will always give you the chance for an adjustment read before final submission during an audition process, but beyond that, a solid voice over acting tip is that you are responsible for your own ON-GOING training.
The old crooner Andy Williams used to sing "Moon River." But Andy wasn't in trouble with the Securities and Exchange Commission like the 3 execs of Moon River Studios. It's one Georgia studio project, near Savannah, that just flat didn't work out. The claim is that investors were defrauded, which is impossible because nobody EVER gets ripped off in show business. It would have been the biggest studio project in 'Merica, with studios, offices, post prod and an outdoor music venue.
If you think the size of your soundstage doesn't matter, don't tell Valhalla Studios that. One of theirs will be 40,000 square feet when it opens, the largest in all of Jawja. first phase is 7 20,000-square-foot stages, one 30,000-square-foot stage.
"Underground," a show about some slaves trying to get out of Georgia through the Underground Railroad, seems to think it makes sense to get IN to Georgia. The show is the most watched original series ever on WGN America and will move to Savannah (home to mossy trees and Zac Efron filming Baywatch) for season 2.
If you see Sheriff Rick and he looks more like drag queen than zombie food (not that zombies wouldn't also like a tasty drag queen now and then), it's because co-star Norman Reedus loaded his car's AC vents with glitter. And it's summer in Senoia, so that AC was probably cranked.
It's a couple of guys actually. One of them is Mike Stiles.
You might know Mike from…nowhere, because mostly he's been a writer and a behind the scenes guy. They're usually introverts who suck at charisma and self-promotion.

200 horses stuck on island
landon and i have locked ourselves in our room all day and are presently working our way through the third season of lost at rapid speed (i realize we are a good 5 years late on this phenomenon) how addictive it is! we've taken to eating all our meals in our bed basking in the glow of the lost laptop. a travesty considering all of brooklyn was basking in the warm june sunlight with hot dogs and cool beverages. we are not all horizontal though, we had an eventful weekend otherwise indulging in rockband, german beer, pancakes and excellent company.

It sounds dreamy.ReplyDelete

Oh Hannah, who are you ?!!!
It sounds like you are reenacting a nostalgic memory of mine... watching lost in bed on a laptop, with your loved one for hours/days on end completely oblivious to the outside world... bliss.ReplyDelete
just found your work, such a fanReplyDelete
the maisies - she issssss! and can be played by nobody but megan follows (and me! ehehehehheheh jk)! i want the dvd collection so badly but have yet to find it for a price my wallet agrees with. :(ReplyDelete
miss soggy smog - me? i am lover of precocious redheaded characters, karaoke, secret island,cheese and bed. quite simple really.
kirrily - it's funny just how many people have said the very same whenever we mention our recent lost addiction! i'm quite happy to have caught on so late in the game just so we can indulge in these marathons! i can't imagine waiting week to week to find out what's going to happen next!
Oh no offense Miss Hannah! Just small reminders that you are from this modern age can be somewhat depressing.ReplyDelete

My boyfriend and I are watching lost too, last week we finished season 3, and 4. This week we are watching season 5. But I think, after days and days of infinite lost, we are gonna have to wait a year to see the next and final season, it sucks.ReplyDelete
My advice for you is to go slowly and gently through lost, don't go crazy.
By the way, I've been reading your blog lately, I love the documentation you make of your own life. I am a fan now.
Hello Friends! I do my best to respond to all of your thoughtful comments on your blogs, I apologize in advance if this is not always done in the most timely manner! Thank you for reading!

UCI Trails World Cup Explained
UCI Trials World Cup 2012 Antwerp
14.692 Views
v> Extreme.com is broadcasting the 26" elite super-final, live from Antwerp this Sunday 19th August, from 13:45 to 14:45 (CET). If you are wanting to join us for the live broadcast, but are unsure of the exact UCI Trials World Cup rules, don't worry, here's a quick 'crash-course' to bring you up to speed.
The UCI recognise the following types of individual events:
20" (Wheel size between 18" to 23")
26" (Wheel size between 24" to 26")
The idea is to gain the least amount of points possible in each section and the overall winner from that day is the person with the least points from all the combined sections. A maximum of 5 points can be incurred in each section.
UCI stipulates that a course must consist of at least six sections and a maximum of nine. The sections, each approximately 60m in length, are laid out on a circuit to allow riders to ride from one section to the next. The start line shall be at least three metres before the first difficulty (obstacle) to give sufficient space to the rider. The finish line shall be at least three metres after the last difficulty (obstacle) to avoid any argument over penalties. The maximum time a rider can complete a section in is 2 minutes 30 seconds, any longer and the rider will gain 1 point for every 15 second interval he/she is over.
The main penalties a rider can incur whilst on track are broken down on the list below:
1. Resting a pedal and/or the lower chain guard on the ground or on the obstacle (1 point).
2. Passing the maximum time cut of 2'30 minutes for the section (1 point per 15 seconds)
3. Riding over or under, raising or tearing the tapes and arrows marking the limits of the section (5points).
4. Entering the gate of some other category of the competition, skipping a gate or an arrow of his/her category or not riding the gates or arrows in the correct order (5 points).
5. Holding the bike other than by the handlebars (5 points).
6. Placing both feet simultaneously on the ground or on an obstacle (5 points).
7. Placing both feet on the same side of the bike when one of the feet is on the ground (5 points).
8. Fall, i.e. parts of the body above the hips in contact with the ground, or sit on the ground or on an obstacle (5 points).
9. Touching the ground or the obstacle with a hand that does not hold the handlebars (5 points).
In each world cup event there is a ¼ final, ½ final, final and super final. In all heats riders will complete two laps of the course, with the exception of the super final where the top four riders will complete one lap of four sections.
So there you have it, you can now consider yourself enlightened. Of course there are many other rules that we have omitted, but we feel this is a sufficient insight into the trials world. If you want to know more follow the link for the official UCI Trials Cycling Rules & Regulations
If you've missed the previous rounds, check out the Round 1 of the UCI Trials World Cup: Aalter.

The former United striker has enjoyed a fine start to life as the Red Devils' interim boss, winning five successive matches since taking over from Jose Mourinho.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and @Mike_Phelan_1 have reflected on the Reds' time in the Middle East... ☀— Manchester United (@ManUtd) January 11, 2019
The Norwegian has masterminded a remarkable turnaround in form for his side, but will face his toughest test to date as United travel to face Tottenham at Wembley on Sunday. According to the Mirror, Solkskjaer's future could depend on the level of United's success this season.
With the 45-year-old set to take on Mauricio Pochettino in the Tottenham dugout – the other man being widely touted for the United post in the summer – Solskjaer may be required to both win a trophy and lead his team to a top four finish in order to get the job on a permanent basis.
Sunday's Premier League clash at the national stadium has been widely suggested as a shootout between the two leading candidates to take the reins at Old Trafford on a permanent basis this summer, with Pochettino consistently touted as a future United boss.
BREAKING: @paulpogba fit for @ManUtd's game against @SpursOfficial on Sunday, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has confirmed. #SSN pic.twitter.com/baF9ashV65— Sky Sports News (@SkySportsNews) January 10, 2019
However, the report suggests that even victory over his Argentine counterpart on Sunday would not be enough for Solskjaer to secure a favourable position in his bid to land the job.
United's last trophy success under Mourinho came in the 2016/17 Carabao Cup, and the club will apparently judge the success of their former striker in the manager's role in part by his ability to land further silverware.
Sky Sports readers' #THFC X #MUFC combined XI...— Sky Sports Premier League (@SkySportsPL) January 11, 2019
Do you agree?

A top four finish once more is also said to be essential, with the qualification for Champions League football next season a vital part of United's transitional phase and their ability to kick on next season, as yet another new era commences at Old Trafford.

Workforce Home
There are over 9000 Dietitians registered in the UK, an increase of almost 50% in the last decade. The HCPC publishes the latest registration statistics for dietitians as well as historic information which shows how the profession has grown significantly since 1967.
During these years of expansion, the dietetic workforce has changed. The profession is carrying out extended roles that were unthinkable 10 years ago and have introduced new roles such as dietetic support workers, assistant practitioners and nutritionists to the dietetic workforce. Alongside the increase in NHS employed dietitians, the number of dietitians choosing to work outside the NHS and setting up in private practice has also inceased.
In 2016 it was estimated that within the home nation's national health services the total of all dietetic posts (including support staff) equated to around 5500 whole time equivalent positions. The number of individuals working within these positions will be much higher than 5500 as within dietetic services many posts are part time.
Within the national health services in the UK the environment has shifted from one of increasing funds being available to meet the demands for dietetic services to an environment which is much more focussed on demonstrating effectiveness and efficiency in a tight economic climate.
The role of a dietitian within the workforce varies within and between the settings in which they work and according to their position in the Dietetic Career Framework. Experienced and highly skilled Advanced practitioners play a significant part in redesigning services and care pathways within financial constraints inorder to most effectively meet the needs of the population they are serving.

After burning fingers in stock market and real estate investment, HNI investors have another asset class to diversify their investment.
ICICI Bank is offering its private banking customers option of investing in Cinema Capital Venture Fund that is a SEBI approved fund which will invest in Indian media and entertainment industry.
The fund will be a structured product without capital guarantee and minimum investment would be Rs.10 lacs and a lock-in period of 5 years.
The fund may attract good response as it is a totally new investment product which gives more leeway for investors who have already allocated their investment into equity, FD, insurance, gold or even other unique products (like Crayon Capital Art Fund).
The fund would also be beneficial for Indian film industry as it gives money to professionals to bring out the best product.
The target return for the cinema fund has been projected at 35% which may seem quite reasonable seeing the performance of Indian films over the years.
Some interesting points to note in the product brochure of the fund is that many films perceived to be flops have delivered profits and many big banner films recover their cost while they are still under production. Also, IDBI Bank which was among the first to venture into film financing has still not got a single NPA till date.

ReFind uses the powerful healing modality of Depth Hypnosis developed by Dr. Isa Gucciardi, to help you get to the root of the issue, the root of the discomfort, and the root of the pain. Depth Hypnosis draws on Shamanism, Energy Medicine, Hypnotherapy, Buddhism, and Transpersonal Psychology and has the ability to provide long lasting results. Healing can happen quickly and effectively.
Shamanism, Hypnosis, and Energy Medicine are incredibly transformative practices. They create true alchemy. They create deep shifts within the self. They are able to shift and release patterns that you have believed will never go away. Shamanism, Hypnosis, and Energy Medicine are deep, alchemical medicine for the spirit.
We understand what it is like to crave relief, comfort, joy, and connection. We know what if feels like to seek out immediate relief from pain. One of the capabilities that drugs and alcohol has is that they offer protection from pain, while at the same time seemingly helping you engage with the world, it gives us a false sense of connection and excitement.
ReFind is based on the knowing that you are more than your addiction. You have the power to change and heal your relationship to yourself. We will help you find the self you have lost to a source outside of yourself.
About Beth
I grew up in a dysfunctional family. As a young girl, I was forced to fend for myself because there was not an adult with the skills or the desire to parent me. As a result, I turned to alcohol and drugs at a very early age. For many years I continued in a downward spiral, going deeper and deeper, using drugs and alcohol to numb the pain from my childhood. I felt alone, ashamed, and unworthy of love, every second of every day. I think drugs and alcohol really saved me in the beginning, I was able to escape from my reality for brief moments and found temporary relief in my pain. When it worked to escape in drugs and alcohol, it really "worked" and when it stopped working, I felt like I was a prisoner of my drug of choice, my whole life revolved around my next high.
I finally got tired of feeling trapped, depressed, and depleted and decided that I wanted to change. I ended up in a 28 day rehab and stayed sober for many years through talk therapy and 12 step meetings. After having my first child, I relapsed on pain medication that was prescribed to me for chronic pain. My "rehab" this time around was a different experience, as I turned to Depth Hypnosis and began healing on an even deeper level.
Depth Hypnosis has helped me become deeply at peace with myself. For the first time in my life, I feel settled. At the core level, I know that I am okay and that I am being taken care of.
My mission is to now help others experience the same powerful self-healing I have discovered through Depth Hypnosis. Please contact me today and let's ReFind you together.
"Her approach is extremely empowering, because she doesn't try to "fix" me and my issues but she helps to guide me to find the answers to my own healing by connecting me to my inner wisdom. I deeply benefit from our work together and it has made a profound difference in my life." – San Francisco resident

Sunderland's search
Peter Reid's Sunderland career suffered a slow death - now the search begins for a manager to illuminate The Stadium of Light amid the current gloom.
Reid's familiarity at a club where he held power for seven years eventually bred a contempt that surfaced in the shape of mass criticism from the natives.
He had occupied the most precarious of managerial positions for the last 12 months - one match away from a crisis, one defeat away from another show of supporters' dissent.
Reid's role at Sunderland, taken over his entire reign, had been to revive a club heading down the divisions and playing at the ramshackle and rundown Roker Park.
He leaves a club barely recognisable from those dark days, with a magnificent home at The Stadium of Light and ambitions of Premiership grandeur.
But Reid - a classic example of what you see is what you get when it comes to personality - finally had to go because his time had run its course.
Sunderland's players were not responding either to the arm around the shoulder or the kick up the backside, and the supporters has simply grown tired of Reid.
All the ingredients make up the recipe for a sacking and Reid's departure became inevitable.
But it will be one of the great injustices if Sunderland history treats Reid unkindly.
So much good work came before the unfulfilling finale to his reign.
Now chairman Bob Murray, so long Reid's close friend and fiercest supporter, must look for the man to take Sunderland on to the next level.
And he will look for a manager with the character and experience to carry the huge expectations of a massive support - and a man able to ignore the pressure from the presence of neighbours Newcastle United just over his shoulder.
Former Leeds United boss David O'Leary has already hinted he will be happy to talk to Sunderland, and he will surely be the early front runner.
He has Premiership experience, has handled huge pressure and even bigger players at Leeds - and is burning with ambition after his shock Elland Road sacking.
George Graham has also been mentioned, but it takes a leap of the imagination to see him leaving his beloved London behind and taking the trek to the North East.
Graham's vague claim that he will "speak to any club whose ambition matches my own" is hardly an invitation to an open arms embrace with Sunderland.
But it is not a job for a managerial novice and Graham's vast experience has its attractions.
He may not, however, satisfy the Sunderland supporters who yearn for a piece of the free-flowing action they see down the road at Newcastle.
Sunderland chairman Murray may well know the man he wants, sacking Reid conveniently during an international break.
Now it is up to that man to decide whether he wants to sip from what became a poisoned chalice for Peter Reid.

It's been awhile since we've heard anything on the ridiculously violent, but oh so addictive, demolition derby that is Twisted Metal for the PlayStation 3. However, it seems that those desperate for any form of news on David Jaffe's upcoming title are in luck, because a new trailer just released that shows off some very cool in-game footage.
Of course, fans want to see more than just gameplay clips, so Eat Sleep Play was also kind enough to give an official release date for the new Twisted Metal.
The new trailer for Twisted Metal blends in-game action with real life footage that has been stylized to suit the visuals of the game. The end result is a pretty solid trailer that will quench the insatiable thirst that fans of the series have developed after years of waiting for this game. It's also quite informative and provides those same fans with a date for them to mark on their calendars, and perhaps even a day to call in sick to school or work.
Check out the latest trailer for the PS3-exclusive, Twisted Metal:
Yes, as the end of the trailer confirms, Twisted Metal will be launching on October 4th, 2011, so be ready to blow enemies and friends alike to pieces in a gloriously over-the-top fashion. It truly does seem like 2011 is the PlayStation 3's year. Not only do PS3 owners have Resistance 3, Uncharted 3, and Infamous 2 (after already launching LittleBigPlanet 2 and Killzone 3) to look forward to, but now Twisted Metal has secured an already expected spot in 2011.
The brief amount of hands-on time I've had with Twisted Metal presented to us something very promising, and the game seems to live up to previous standards of the franchise. There are also a few new game modes and characters that players can look forward to, along with HD graphics of course, which are all sure to create a fresh but familiar experience for long-time fanatics of the Twisted Metal games.
Look forward to going on a rampage with Sweet Tooth this October 4th, exclusively on PlayStation 3.

It has been a beautiful day today; this picture was taken at dawn from Shallow Water hide.
5R spent the early part of the morning incubating before the Manton Bay female took over.
At about 10.30am, as Tim and John were in Manton Bay, an intruding osprey flew over the nest. After close inspection they were able to tell us that it was 11(10), another Rutland bird returning for the second time. 11(10) is a male who fledged in 2010 and returned for the first time last year. He hung around for a short while before heading out of the Manton Bay area.
Meanwhile 5R was enjoying the sunshine so much that it wasn't until early afternoon when he eventually brought in a fish.

And you though the ruble devaluation would make everything cheap!
Johnson's Russia List, 21 Sep 1998
The Chocolate Standard
By Joseph McCormick
Every week or so for the past year I've been buying groceries at Sedmoi
Kontinent, a chain of "gastronomy" that have reworked themselves into something
resembling bona fide supermarkets. The prices have been pretty good for Moscow
(i.e., only moderately outrageous by American standards), and until the crisis,
the majority of customers seemed to be "normal, middle-class" Muscovites.
The greatest convenience for me was that they take plastic (and still do,
if you have a foreign credit card).
The last time I was in their Smolenskaya branch, on September 6, the place
was mobbed with the tail end of panic buying, as shoppers emptied the shelves
of everything priced in pre-crisis rubles.
Yesterday (September 20) the place was eerily quiet — for the first time
in memory, staff outnumbered customers. Except for a window shopping babushka
and a family of New Georgians (although Dad was shouting into his mobile
phone in Russian, Mom and the kids were speaking Georgian) with a suprisingly
empty cart, I had the place virtually to myself. One glance at the prices
explained why: like many other stores selling mainly imports, Sedmoi Kontinent
has switched over to labelling prices in "uslovnye edinitsy" [YE], i.e.,
U.S. dollars, with payment in rubles at an (inflated) rate of exchange.
Instead of relief at the prospect of price stabilization — after all, dollar
prices should remain more or less constant — I experienced an acute bout
of sticker shock: the _dollar_ prices of my favorite foods had doubled or
tripled. Let me cite just one glaring example. In early August, a 170 g Fazer
chocolate bar cost 11 rubles, or about $1.75. Yesterday the new price was
$5.10, which would seem to imply a sudden 291% price hike on the part of
its Finnish manufacturers, a clear absurdity. At the store's rate of exchange
of 16.5 rubles to the dollar, the same candy bar costs 84.15 rubles, a 763%
increase in local currency.
I'll admit the ruble has been behaving erratically, but this is well beyond
the wildest market oscillations and even exceeds Stockmann's mark-up in the
bad old days. (I will leave out the $3 bottles of beer, the $7 mustard, and
— my personal favorite — the $17 jar of German pickles).
Needless to say, I left with only a handful of items, all of them locally
produced. I can't imagine that there are enough cash-rich expats and New
Russians left to support such wildly inflated prices. But who would have
thought that back in early August, the smart money would have dumped GKO's,
mortgaged the farm, and converted everything into chocolate?

"Is the Mirror of Russian Statistics Crooked? or The Secret of the State
Statistical Committee's Strange Figures"
Article by Aleksey Sinyurin:
In mid-November the Russian State Statistical Committee published its latest
report on the monthly inflation rate in our country based on October figures.
That event unleashed a new wave of negative emotions in society, the gist
of which was familiar accusations along the lines of "Statistics are lying
What Would Have Surprised Disraeli
According to official statistics, during the two and a half months that have
passed since the start of the crisis, inflation in Russia was just 49.2%.
"All you have to do is visit stores to see that that is not true," has been
a common refrain in recent months.
It should be acknowledged that Russian society, in contrast to the West,
views the science of statistics with some disdain. Thanks to the movie "Office
Romance" the image of dried-up statisticians who can think of nothing except
plans, reports and tables lives on in people's mind to this day. But the
most important point is that for years statistical data were cited to convince
us that "life has become better, life has become brighter." This created
the persistent impression that "all statistics lie," and that is something
that cannot be overcome overnight.
A saying by British prime minister Benjamin Disraeli from almost 100 years
ago and now virtually forgotten in the West remains popular to this day in
Russia: "There are lies, damned lies and statistics." Russians also love
Bernard Shaw's simple calculation: if one man eats two chickens and his neighbor
eats none, then on the average they have both eaten one.
Let Us Try To Calculate Together Nevertheless
In order to calculate the inflation rate, one has to know two main things.
Firstly, how much prices have changed for all types of goods and services
purchased by the public and, secondly, what percentage of a given individual's
cash expense each item comprises. For example, if one product has doubled
in price and a second one has quadrupled, yet no one is buying it, that means
that on average prices have doubled. If both items are bought in equal
proportion, then prices have tripled. If the public allots 20% of its spending
to the first item and 80% to the second item, then prices have increased
by a factor of 3.6 ((2 x 0.2) + (4 x 0.8) = 3.6), and so on. This seemingly
simple truth also needs to be explained.
In order to calculate how much prices have changed for a specific product,
the Russian State Statistical Committee records prices all over the country
on the last Monday of each month. In each oblast center and in all large
cities specially-trained employees visit large stores and markets and record
prices for the same group of products. The cost of food and beverage items
alone is based on a list of 100 products recorded at a minimum of 5-10 sites.
This is done inconspicuously: the counter approaches a salesperson, asks
for example how much carrots are, and moves on. Off to the side, he or she
writes the figure down in a notebook — one more price recorded.
After recording prices for all types of goods and services, it is necessary
to determine how much they have gone up or down on the average in each region
of the country. But it is impossible to lump together (even within a single
oblast, kray or city) an increase in the price of cabbage and an increase
in the price of milk or meat, not to mention higher prices for clothing,
cosmetics, utilities or transportation. For that purpose statistics has a
system of selective family budget studies, a system that, incidentally, is
commonly accepted throughout the civilized world. The gist of it is that
over the course of each year a certain number of families with various income
levels in each component of the Federation report on what portion of their
money they spent for their consumer needs.
Those families are selected by the Russian State Statistical Committee with
great care. The number of children and retirees in each family should be
roughly the same as the average for a given region. Their income level should
be such as to reflect the structure of the region's population as precisely
and proportionally as possible. That is, if in an oblast as a whole 15% of
families have income per family member of less than R400 [rubles], 50% between
R400 and R1,000 and the rest more than R1,000 per person, then families are
selected in precisely that ratio.
It is important that the families report their consumer spending with absolute
accuracy, without overstating or understating it. That is because how the
families report to statisticians determines how statistics will present the
personal spending of an entire region and, consequently, how consumer price
changes (inflation) will be reported.
It should be noted that these informants are regularly paid a fee so that
they will consent to ongoing participation in the studies, as the data must
be collected year after year. These families are obligated (and this is what
they are paid for) to keep a special journal in which they record all spending
by every family member, including minor expenses.
Yet the families studied constantly understate their income. It is only rare
individuals who do not do this. Some understate their income in order to
conceal black-market earnings and avoid taxes. Some hope to gain more cash
compensation or public assistance. Some simply do not maintain the journals
out of carelessness, even though they are required to do so.
However, by and large Russian citizens are quite simply too poor, something
that not everyone in our country realizes. This is especially true in smaller
cities, where wages may go unpaid for months and virtually every family has
its garden plot and keeps chickens or pigs. These people simply cannot spend
money on goods and services, because they do not have any. They all live
in an in-kind economy based on barter. But where there is no money in circulation
and people buy virtually nothing, neither can there be any inflation.
Dialogue Between the Blind and the Deaf
Back in 1993, when statistics from selective family budget studies were first
being created, specialists from outlying regions reported how they visited
the survey families to collect information. They found half-empty journals
with notes stating that over the past month or quarter only a few types of
cheap products had been purchased. "We do not have money for anything else,
everything is so expensive," they replied. As a result, at times it seemed
that for a whole quarter not a single refrigerator, vacuum cleaner or iron
had been purchased in an entire region. State Statistical Committee specialists
had to gauge these based on retail sales volume. The public's expense structure
was dominated by vegetables, fruit, bread and milk. A considerable portion
also went to vodka. It is interesting to note that in this latest financial
crisis these products have shown the smallest price increases. For that reason
in those regions where families primarily were buying those items, the inflation
rate was also fairly low.
Imagine the following experiment.
Someone visits one of the provincial families which the State Statistical
Committee surveys to determine their consumer expenses, and says: "Well,
the current financial crisis has had virtually no effect on you; you haven't
experienced the same large price increases we have in Moscow." In response
you can expect a dialogue something like this:"Do you know how much milk
costs now?"
"But you don't buy milk, your country relatives bring it to you."
"And how much more does meat cost?"
"But you and your family only buy one kilogram of meat per month —
you don't have enough money for more than that."
"Have you seen how much cigarettes cost now?""But you don't smoke." And so
on. In other words, it reminds one of a dialogue between the blind and the
It is only natural that the State Statistical Committee has not yet come
up with an ideal way to calculate inflation. Many comments about its work
could be made, but these will be more in the nature of a scientific discussion
instead of the man on the street accusingly saying: "That can't be true,
because that just never happens!" Would it not be better for statistical
agencies to explain to citizens in plain language how they calculate statistical
indicators instead of playing cat-and-mouse withthem?
Does Our Neighbors' Experience Mean Nothing to Us?
Consider the example of our recent neighbors in the Soviet Union, the Baltic
countries. Statisticians there do a very professional job. In Latvia, which
uses the very same inflation index, the form in which the materials are presented
is so simple that anyone familiar with the basics of statistical science
can understand it. All you need to do is drop by the republic's statistical
bureau and in its library you will be given the necessary information, along
with an explanation of its meaning. Anyone can calculate the index for themselves
and verify whether or not it was calculated correctly. The table has an overall
price index corresponding to 100% of Latvians' consumer spending, plus individual
components thereof indicating their proportion relative to overall spending.
Next to each item is the price index corresponding to it. You multiply this
times the percentage of total consumer spending, add the results, and you
come up with 100% of spending, i.e. the aggregate inflation index.
Why does our country not publicize the percentage of each product in the
consumer spending structure? If that were the case it would be clearer that
if prices are up by 50% it is due to manufactured goods doubling in prices
while vegetables, fruit, bread and milk increased in price by just 5-10%.
And since the latter play such a decisive role in consumer spending, they
were the ones that "tugged on the inflation rope." In such cases State
Statistical Committee employees reply that there is information that they
are required to make public, and information that they are not required to
make public and which is for internal use only. Well, in that case the public
reserves the right not to believe statistics.
Could that be why Russians understate their income and refuse to keep the
journals by which the State Statistical Committee assesses the consumer spending
structure? A vicious cycle: if people do not under the purpose of their actions,
they lose interest in them.

A Dutch analysis of a number of previous studies has revealed that children's performance within a classroom setting could be linked to how physically active they are.
The research, which has now been published in Archives of Pediatrics & Adolescent Medicine looked into 14 different studies involving over 12,000 children.
The results pooled from the various different studies revealed that the act of exercising could help to increase oxygen and blood flow to the brain which in turn increases cognition.
Though more research is needed to cement the findings, researchers have also said that children who learn from an early age to participate in sport may also learn to obey rules – making them more disciplined and able to concentrate.

helping you ride the waves of technology
Most of us have been in a situation where we must weigh the cost of two, or more, similar items. We consider different characteristics before making the final decision to purchase. The two largest factors we often consider are quality and price. Thus the process begins; we ask friends and colleagues, neighbors and family members for their opinion. We research the manufacturer online to determine how long we expect our purchase to last and the type of experience others have had owning the same product. Once we feel we have gathered enough information about the quality of the product then the pricing game begins. If you're like most other people, you begin to rationalize the difference(s) of quality compared to price - in other words, you begin to look at the value. No matter whether you're a student, a home user, small (or large) business owner, price effects what we buy.
Consider this, a recent study done by HP, published by INC.com stated, "nearly every small business surveyed (93 percent) admitted they tried to save money instead of buying what they really wanted. Of those, 89 percent reported at least some problems as a result of penny-pinching." These problems included, " low-performing hardware (46 percent), out-of-date hardware (37 percent), and unreliable hardware (23 percent) The most needed upgrade: Faster processors, cited by over a third (35 percent) of businesses. A distant second, with 19 percent, was more reliable components."
This should be no surprise. We all have to play the value game - trying to get the best bang for our buck we can; Kraft versus Spartan, Coach versus Kohl's, new car versus used car. Admittingly, in some cases the underdog product turns out to be just as good, if not better, as the well-known and more expensive version. But when it comes to IT equipment, the odds are against us. When it comes to computers we need to consider more than price, we need to consider the quality of the components inside as well. A "good deal" can become a poor choice if the machine is made from poor quality parts that breakdown every couple months.
We believe there are better quality products. Yes, sometimes, these may initially cost more, but these products will also serve your needs better and last longer - costing less in the long run.
Along with finding better quality products, planning is key. According to the same survey published by Inc.com, "two in five IT managers think planning company IT strategy is the best use of their time, compared to 11 percent who think their time is best spent on hardware support."
Planning is an integral part to having an effective and efficient system. Taking the time to do a little research, collaborating with and speaking to knowledgable people will save money, time and energy in the long run.
For those who have worked with Big Blue Water you know we will work with whatever brand/type of technology you're currently using. But remember, the next time you're in the market to replace your computer or any other component; there are major benefits to choosing a better quality product and having a well developed plan:
We've been in the IT business for quite some time and have gained valuable experience working with many different systems. Because of our experience we can also make recommendations before you make your next purchase. We don't just setup, diagnose and fix computer equipment. We can give consultation on what works and what doesn't.

Costas K is a graphic designer who used Cyborgology Editor Nathan Jurgenson's post on digital dualism as part of a design project. The physical book explores the intersection of atoms and bits. The creator was invited to write a short essay about the project.
As kids, we were told to stop 'wasting' our time with electronic devices and that we should be outside, engaging with the 'real' world. Early on, the idea was planted into us that what we do using a computer is an alternative false state that bears no value. To still believe this is naive. Personally, I have met some of my best friends online. I make transactions, articulate opinions, receive feedback and get commissioned professional projects. How is this not real?
Still, when approaching the topic the first expressions that came to mind were 'physical world' and 'digital world' – the cornerstones of digital dualism. Nathan Jurgenson's text 'Digital dualism versus augmented reality' helped me put things into perspective, before exploring them visually.
It is my belief that online activity is a continuation of what we do physically, following similar patterns – although this is not always recognisable. A room and a web page both provide a defined 'space' in which to hold different elements, and are connected with other such spaces. Facebook isn't different to talking to your friends in a crowded city square, where other people can hear you. A 'tweet' is the equivalent of making a statement in front of the crowd.
As the digital aspect of life becomes increasingly important, so does design. The electronic environment is more formidable than the physical, and is not subject to certain limitations. Changing visuals is fast and cost-effective. Making a clean start is easy and this is not influenced by history (e.g. existing buildings) or nature. Resources are almost endless. Some new limitations appear which are determined mostly by the choices and equipment of the user. The user also contributes to the design of the environment, by customizing it. The outcome is not determined solely by the designer.
The result of my exploration is called 'Connected'. The centrepiece is a booklet which explores the relationship between the physical world and online activity and uses photography, graphics, typography and cut-outs to establish conceptual and visual relationships, in accordance with the text. The latter is a collection of found sources, mostly in the form of quotes, with an editorial written by me. The only complete article included is 'Digital dualism versus augmented reality'. The project also has a web aspect which is currently in the form of a model website (with static links) influenced by Net Art. Since the project is about the interconnection of the physical with the digital, it was important to use both types of elements. The digital aspect though was limited significantly by time constraints and I hope to explore it further in the future.
The main concepts that are examined in the project are: (a) digital elements becoming one with the physical world [fig. 1-2] (b) the idea of digital dualism (c) social networking [fig.3-4] (d) the political role of the internet in suppressive regimes [fig. 5] (e) the notion of 'information overload' [fig. 6]

Dr. of Spirituality
Essay: What I have learned in this course.
(Looking for the truth in the spiritual world)
My father once said to me: Son, always remember that learning never ends - regardless of age.
Now I am 54 and I have to admit that my father was right.
We live in a cruel world, lies at every corner and most of them blend-in perfectly with what we like to hear and how we like to look at things.
For 2,000 years we are being told that there is only one savior `Jesus Christ`.
Wars are being fought because we need to defend our countries.
Religious wars are being fought because we all have different Gods, given or assigned to us by our churches
who like to domain us just like the politicians of governments for their wars.
Who can you actually trust ?
We are all the same humans, brothers and sisters indeed. And there is only one God in Heaven and this God`s name we do not need to know and neither do we need to kill each other in His name. We are the ones who have given this God different names, beside the other Gods who visited Earth, self-proclaimed Gods, Gods made by humans, Holy messengers and Prophets. Who is the real God ? There can be only one real God in Heaven and that is the almighty God and His name is God (in English) and in another language you might call him differently.
How much do we know about Jesus Christ (New testament) and (Old testament) Joseph in fact / ? What about all the other Gods (whose names I will not mention now), are they fake Gods or fake Sons of Gods ? Certainly not !
What about the great (Genesis) flood / And, what about the Epic of Gilgamesh (around 2,600 BC) ?
What about Moses (Sargon), and all the other `moses-like-human prophets before;
in Babylon it was Nemo (10 tablets)
in India it was Manou (10 tablets)
in Crete it was Minos (10 tablets)
in Egypt it was Mises (10 tablets)
... and have you ever sought about the ending in our prayers: AMEN ? Where does it come from and what does it actually mean ? Are we worshipping Amen-Ra / Sun-God ?
Are we really knowing the truth about Earth and Humans and their Gods, or are we just living in a great Disney Land ?
Is everything just developed for political reasons so that religion can be used for slavery ?
Religion is a myth indeed, it is not debatable nor questionable, it is divine authority.
At young age I quit religion and I found it again through the ULC, especially the Spiritual course they offered.
In the end that is all I had left, a broken-view regarding religion and belief. All there was left in me was the Spiritual belief.
It is rather difficult to build-up that belief without some help of an spiritual advisor. Then the praying, we all pray for so much, but then is it right to pray that much ? And what kind of prayer is correct ? To whom should we pray ?
Beside weddings I do counseling of all kinds and children support, visit hospitals and prisons were I meet all kind of different nationals and human characters. I do not use the cross, of course when I am forced to use it then inside my heart I think of Jesus Christ but still fighting with my inner-self then. I rather wear a pair of praying hands instead of a cross.
Spiritual belief in the (Nameless) Almighty God is my belief and I consider myself an International Christian who welcomes all Gods and all other Religions for the purpose of uniting all humans together again.
The Free-Will being given of being able to choose an religion (Universal religious belief) and practicing it as granted to me by the ULC means a lot to me and the most-high in heaven will certainly agree to that. Arguing about religion is a waste of time, since all religious books are either partially incorrect, misinterpreted and anyway are not fully proven to be correct. Better be spiritual and study about Astronomy, Astrology and Archeology and really help-out others and then you will be on the right track.
Most of the people say they are spiritual, because they do not know anything about religion, neither won`t have anything to do with it for personal or other reasons. The question is just `Do They Understand Spirituality` ? Maybe 90% does not. Rev. Dr. Loretta Siani has been a helping hand to me with her lessons, Spiritual prayers and the deeper meaning of it. Of course not everything is according my spiritual belief, what she has taught me, but she awakened inside me the deeper free-spiritual thinking and in the end that is all I hoped to happen. Reading, learning, processing and sorting-out with a clear and free-thinking and feeling mind is important in order to evolve to the next spiritual step (per aspera ad astra). No human is perfect, no book is correct but we can correct our current dependent mind (s) and thinking as long as we keep ourselves open and uninfluenced to choose a new or different way of thinking according our heart and independent open mind. Whatever we read or study does not mean that we have to accept everything what is written or being said, but without studying and freely considering a learning process is not possible.
Spirituality is something you can not touch, not buy, not be given to but only slowly learn through study and life experiences and an open mind and an clean heart, otherwise the spiritual picture will not be visible and the guideline is not there.
I like to thank the ULC and Dr. Siani for their kind support till now and I like to encourage my other Pastor-Reverend brothers here on Earth to keep an open mind and always consider the cost of misusing the most powerful weapon `Religion` in the name of our most high GOD.
Blessed are those who spiritually support their brothers and sisters.

Peak performance
through shingled feeding.
Pallet feeder PFX.
The PFX pallet feeder allows you to feed the sheets shingled and underlapped into the first folding unit instead of feeding them conventionally with a sheet gap. This feeding technology on our folder is very similar to today's printing presses. The underlapping of sheets (shingling sheets) on the infeed register table increases the amount of sheets that can be processed by nearly half over conventional sheet gap feeding at the very same machine speed! The new PFX feeder technology allows us to transport more sheets reliably and efficiently.
The pallet feeder PFX secures you the highest efficiency for your industrialized folding production. The processing of perfect pallets and uneven stacked pallets is handled reliably by the PFX.

Don't hand over contactless bank card in store
What do you think of contactless payment?
Personally I love it because it is so much quicker and easier to use. I do believe it is safe too as you can only spend up to £30 at a time when using contactless and after using contactless 3 times you must use the card machine properly and enter your pin.
In the UK the popularity of contactless payment is on the rise. Contactless payment rose from £2.32 billion in 2014 to £7.75 billion last year.
However, handing over your contactless card instore could leave you open to fraud.
If you plan on using the contactless option on your card ALWAYS do it yourself, do not allow the staff member to do it for you.
The card 'should always stay in the customer's hand' according to the UK Cards Association's best practice guidelines, which was reported in The Telegraph.
"Customers are being made vulnerable to having their card skimmed (fraudulently copied) if they hand their card over, so they should refuse when asked to do this." Said Andrew Goodwill from The Goodwill group.

Traffic to Oxfam's website surged by 400% within 12 hours of the Haiti earthquake. For the Pakistan floods, the peak was lower but it lasted longer. It's great that the public wants to support the victims of disaster, but it also creates problems for IT. How do you build an infrastructure to cope with such surges?
Buying lots of servers and keeping three-quarters of them idle isn't an option for most of us. It certainly isn't for Oxfam – it wants to put its resources into the field, not into datacentres. So historically it has provisioned its systems to handle typical demand then degraded the website's functionality during surges. For Haiti, the site was reduced to a single page for accepting donations. This worked, in that Oxfam could keep taking donations. But it couldn't begin to build an ongoing relationship with new supporters.
Could the "cloud" help? After 12 months of exploring the options and migrating part of the site into the cloud, here's what we've learned:
• Cloud is about economics. Most of the technical underpinnings for the cloud have been around for years. There are still some rough edges, but the technology broadly works. The biggest challenge we faced was understanding the economics of "elastic" capacity – how does the overall cost of service change under different workload scenarios? This is also the biggest opportunity: with the right model, Oxfam can both reduce the cost of normal operations and readily ramp up capacity in response to surges. It took a lot of scenario planning for us to build the right economic model for Oxfam's operations.
• Standards are still emerging. The pundits compare cloud to the electricity grid. That's true, but only if you're looking at the 19th century electricity grid. Some vendors run AC and some run DC. They all run different voltages. The price differs depending on whether you're running kettles or light bulbs. Comparing like-for-like in order to build costing scenarios is hard work.
• The market is immature. Without standards, there's no clear basis for comparing vendors. Oxfam specified its capacity requirements in technology-neutral terms, yet every vendor had to turn that specification into a detailed technical design before they could provide a price. And to compare their pricing, we had to work from the technical specifications – no-one would directly assure specific levels of capacity without also specifying the technology. When was the last time your electricity supplier discussed turbine design with you? That's where the cloud market is.
• Manageability matters as much as capacity. The cost of service depends as much on the number of virtual machines as it does on the overall amount of computational capacity. That's fair enough – each VM needs to be managed. But it means that you can't cost the infrastructure without having a pretty good idea of the shape of your application portfolio, and of how it might change over time.
Application licensing constrains deployment. Many web applications are designed to scale horizontally – they're best deployed as a swarm of small VMs. This works beautifully in the cloud. Yet their vendors still license them on a per-server basis, killing the economics. For now, we're deploying a small number of larger VMs and hoping the software vendors will eventually engage with the cloud.
• Don't get hung up on a name. Given the importance of handling demand surges, we expected a public cloud model to make most sense for Oxfam. All the solutions we looked at were based on a hybrid model, some weighted towards public cloud and some towards private cloud. We agonised over whether this mattered. In the end, it came back to economics: once a solution met the basic requirements for capacity, availability, security, etc, then what would it cost to operate? The label it carries doesn't really matter.
• Cloud opens up other issues. Cloud makes costs much more transparent. You can see what you're paying for storage, for network transfers, for computational capacity for each application, etc. This brings issues like archiving and retention policies into more focus. This is all positive – it will help Oxfam manage its systems more effectively – but it means that moving to the cloud is only the start of the journey.
So far, the cloud is working for Oxfam. The first sites are live and more are moving there. We don't want to test it fully – we don't want another Haiti. But it's going to happen, somewhere in the world, sometime. Oxfam was able to respond quickly and effectively last time. Next time the cloud may enable it to do even better.

Moms and babies will learn how to use everyday items to move from one developmental stage to the next while having a blast! Make the first 1000 days of your baby's life count with GAP's weekly sensory-motor stimulation groups developed by experienced Occupational Therapists.
What our Facilitators are saying about GAP
I wasn't one of those mums who just knew what to 'do' with their baby. I didn't know how to 'play' with him. Which in retrospect seems so silly! I attended a gap playdate with a friend from antenatal classes and we both decided to join up. Best decision ever! Mothering can be such a lonely job–especially in the early days of a first timer. Gap offered me a safe place to meet friends (and remain sane), at the same time as engaging with my boy in stimulating activities, and absorbing information. I'm still friends with 2 mums from gap even though I live in a completely different city. I want for other mums to be able to experience what I did. To feel a sense of community in a group without judgement. Lourdes and Carly make an excellent team with each person understanding their role. It engenders confidence in their 'product'. It helps too that they are very warm people – Neesha Pema – GAP East London
I recently took the plunge into becoming a GAP facilitator. It is something I considered before but the timing was not right with my young family. Today I started my second term as a GAP facilitator and I am loving it. I love the creative outlet it gives me. I love seeing lives transform as the moms start to get the joy and value in not just playing with their children but understating the importance of sensory play. I love watching the bonds form between the moms as they learn to trust each other and share their hardships and learnings on this journey called motherhood. GAP has already in its short time in our house added value to our own family. My children love coming home from school to see what the "babies" learned today and to play with whatever sensory play stuff is left to play with. My oldest two also love helping me prep. They love thinking of things we can make for tactile play in particular. GAP has also helped me understand my own son's sensory difficulties (he is tactile intolerant and he seeks vestibular) and taught me tricks to do to help him in his day to day life. He is also a student at JumpLeapFly and loves every session he has. Jenni Illes – GAP Sunningdale

There are many symptoms of pancreatic cancer. Pancreatic cancer is a condition which affects the pancreas; pancreas are an organ that is situated behind the stomach and in the front side of the spine. Pancreas is in charge of producing hormones such as glucagon and insulin, which help in maintaining the levels of blood sugar. It also generates enzymes that assist to breakdown carbohydrates and protein during digestion.
There are numerous types of pancreatic cancer; nevertheless, the common one is adenocarcinoma. This form of cancer attacks cells that generate digestive enzymes. The other common forms of pancreatic cancer comprise of islet cell carcinoma, pseudopapillary neoplasms and pancreatic blastoma.
Symptoms of Pancreatic cancer
In most cases, Symptoms of pancreatic cancer do not emerge until the disease is in a complex stage, thus making it difficult to detect it early. When they appear, they are non-specific and can be vague, such as weight loss and stomach pain. In addition, a patient's symptom differs as regards to the position of cancer in the pancreas.
Yellowing of the Eyes and Skin(Jaundice) is a painless condition noticeable by the yellowing of the eyes and skin. It happens when there is an increase in level of bilirubin within the blood. It can occur when the tumor is partially or entirely blocks bile pipes of the liver, hence slowing the flow of bile.
Abdominal Pain is also a common symptom. It occurs normally on the upper abdomen and can also spread to the back. It may worsen when one is lying down for 3-4 hours after eating.
Unintended Weight Loss. Many people may welcome the loss of weight without trying, but when it happens involuntarily it's a clear indication that something is terribly wrong. This is one of the first symptoms an individual usually notices, alongside abdominal pain. (in most forms of cancers and extra benign conditions, Weight loss is common.)
Vomiting /Nausea is Another unclear pancreatic cancer symptom which is common amongst many other conditions, in addition to pancreatic cancer, An unclear symptom, such as nausea, in most cases, delays the result in diagnosis of pancreatic cancer.
Appetite loss is a sign of many conditions and diseases, including pancreatic cancer. This may be an indication of something severe or still be related to somewhat as small as a virus. In the stomach when there are no clear symptoms, medical tests are crucial in order to make a precise diagnosis.
Itchy skin is not a serious symptoms of pancreatic cancer but some people with pancreatic cancer experience it. Once more, it's an unclear symptom, but when joined with another symptom such as jaundice or abdominal pain, it can be considerable in making a more timely and accurate diagnosis. Regrettably, when an individual with undiagnosed pancreatic cancer experiences itchy skin, it is mostly misdiagnosed as a skin condition.
Unexpected start of Diabetes. In other cases, the pancreatic cancer may slow down the pancreas' capacity to produce insulin, effecting in to diabetes. It is vital to keep in mind that most people get diabetes because of other reasons, which are unrelated to pancreatic cancer.
Changes in Urine and Stool Color. Urine might become much darker and stools may lose the brown color to a pale or clay color. It can be as a result of the blockage on bile duct.
That are the most common symptoms of pancreatic cancer and if you experience them, then definitely go to visit your doctor.
