How to Treat Fungus with Essential Oils
How to Treat Fungus with Essential oils
Got Fungus? Check out what essential oils can do. Essential oils of cinnamon, clove, lemongrass, geranium, and thyme were equal or superior to the powerful anti-fungal drug, Hexaconazole. The essential oil of cinnamon at a 0.04% concentration completely stopped the growth of 35 different fungi. Clove essential oil, and its primary constituent, eugenol, kill more than 60 types of bacteria,15 strains of fungi and several viruses. Eugenol strongly inhibits growth of HSVI and HSVII. Clove essential oil reduced Candida infection in test subjects by 75% after 8 days, closely equivalent to Nystatin. 5% of adult women suffer from candidiasis which can have serious long term consequences.
Here are a few Essential oils with Anti-fungal activity and show how they treat fungus in test studies:
Cinnamon Bark 46.50
Clove 32.00
Basil 27.00
Lemongrass 27.00
Geranium 18.00
Thyme 14.50
Hexaconazole drug 22.50

Microsoft looks set to launch its own hardware in the shape of the much-vaunted Pink phones next week.
Reuters is quoting a 'source close to the matter' that the phones are set to be announced next week, with a different moniker than the Pink codename.
The new phones, which have been mentioned in various leaks over the last year, will be QWERTY-enabled messaging devices, with a strong focus on the social networking youth.
Samsung has been attacking this demographic with its Genio/Corby range, low cost phones with lower-end specs but instant access to social networking.
Sidelining Sidekick
Microsoft acquired Sidekick (a similar messaging-centric device) manufacturer Danger, and ever since has been tipped to produce its own branded devices.
It's likely that Sharp will be the manufacturer of the new Pink phones, which used to make the phones when Danger produced the Sidekick range.
There has been a lot of talk around these phones for a number of months - first that there will be no Microsoft phone (at least under the 'Zune Phone' guise) according to Ballmer, then that internally the staff hate the idea.
Apparently all will be revealed next week - but you can bet that whatever is launched will be a sideshow to the main Windows Phone 7 circus.

News release from 06/08/2018
Vision for proposed new town north of Waterbeach published
Guidance for how a proposed new town north of Waterbeach could be developed has been published today (Monday 6 August).
South Cambridgeshire District Council's Supplementary Planning Document provides the vision for how the whole town will come forward to create a thriving new community and sets the benchmark that planning applications will be assessed against.
The document gives details on how developers are expected to ensure the new town reduces energy consumption and looks for opportunities to generate renewable energy as well.
Measures the Council would be looking for in applications would include smart energy systems, building layout to optimise opportunities for natural light, the use of efficient systems for heating, cooling and where possible, heat recovery, and incorporating renewable energy technologies within the development such as solar panels.
The Council has also said that developers should explore the opportunity to incorporate on-site renewable and low-carbon energy generation solutions within the new town which will allow it to provide its own power rather than drawing from regional stations.
The planning document also sets out that the approach to building new homes should look to reduce water consumption to less than 110 litres per person per day. This could include using harvesting rainwater to flush toilets and using lower grade grey water for irrigation.
The vision also says that walking and cycling should be prioritised within the new town to reduce the use of private cars. Cycle routes to Cambridge and linking to neighbouring communities should also be part of plans put forward.
The Council's document also states that developers must contribute funding to:
- strategic transport improvements that could include on or off line dualling of the A10
- upgrades to the junctions on the A10
- Improvements to the Milton Interchange
- new public transport and cycle links to Cambridge.
The document also identifies locations for the five primary schools, two secondary schools, sixth form college, on site Park and Ride facility and relocated railway station. The town may also include a special education needs school.
The vision also provides a guide for the building heights at the new town. Near the lake, town centre and relocated railway station these would be four to six storeys, with lower buildings of two to three storeys near the edge of the neighbouring village of Waterbeach to ensure it is sympathetically designed.
The Council has also said in the document that the development of shops, employment, education, community facilities and transport links must go hand-in-hand with new homes being built so people moving in early have the right facilities as the town grows.
The Supplementary Planning Document supports the Council's Local Plan, which sets the overall strategy for development in the area. It gives more details and guidance for the development of the new town.
The Supplementary Planning Document will be presented to a Scrutiny meeting on Tuesday 14 August so it can be debated and recommendations made in advance of the Council's decision making Cabinet considering it on Wednesday 5 September.
If agreed by Cabinet, a six week public consultation will be carried out.
Deputy Leader of South Cambridgeshire District Council with responsibility for strategic planning, Cllr Aidan Van de Weyer, said: "Lots of work has been done with the local Parish Council to help prepare this document and the views of the community are really important. We know there are key issues such as transport and the A10 impact to understand, and this document sets out a vision for the range of issues we expect developers to consider in their applications. It is important that the proposed new town works as a whole, especially as we have more than one developer, and that we set a high bar that must be passed. Any new development must be respectful of the local area so that the village of Waterbeach retains its identity, and the new community has its own."
Outline planning applications already submitted to the Council for a new town north of Waterbeach will only be assessed once the Local Plan for South Cambridgeshire has been adopted and the Supplementary Planning Document far enough advanced.

Last weekend, we went to San Francisco for my 21st birthday (restaurant reviews coming soon!); it was a blast! The only problem before leaving was that I didn't own "city-type" clothes. I had to go buy a few new tops that would be club worthy. The first place I passed as I walked into the mall was Cinnabon. The smell that comes from that place makes you melt immediately as you walk in. It always takes everything I have not to stop and get one! I don't know what it is about cinnamon buns but they are just so addicting.

A federal jury ruled unanimously on Wednesday that Google did not infringe on Oracle's Java-related patents when it developed its Android operating system. The 10-person jury serving in Federal District Court in San Francisco delivered its verdict after more than a week of deliberations following a six-week trial.
Oracle had alleged that Google infringed on Java-related patents and copyrights when it developed Android. The jury delivered a partial verdict on May 7 during the first phase of the trial, holding that Google had infringed on Oracle's copyrights in its use of Java APIs, but deadlocked on whether that infringement could be considered "fair use."
After Wednesday's verdict concluded the second phase of the trial, U.S. District Judge William Alsup dismissed the jurors and canceled the third phase of the trial, which would have determined damages. Alsup said he may issue a ruling next week on the knotty question of whether API's can be copyrighted. (See "Oracle vs. Google: 5 Top Analysts Weigh In on API Implications for Devs and Startups.")
Google's post-verdict statement was succinct: "Today's jury verdict that Android does not infringe Oracle's patents was a victory not just for Google but the entire Android ecosystem."
Oracle spokesperson Deborah Hellinger issued a statement via e-mail for her company: "Oracle presented overwhelming evidence at trial that Google knew it would fragment and damage Java. We plan to continue to defend and uphold Java's core write once run anywhere principle and ensure it is protected for the nine million Java developers and the community that depend on Java compatibility."

Should L.A. Merge Its Planning and Building & Safety Departments?
On November 15th, Los Angeles City Council President Herb Wesson attended a breakfast held by the American Institute of Architects, a forum for exploring ideas and discussing possibilities for the future of Los Angeles. With the City of Los Angeles facing serious budgetary challenges, no budget solution can be left off the table, no matter how challenging and unusual. The Planning Report presents the following partial transcript of Wesson's candid discussion on the pros and cons of merging the Department of Building and Safety with Planning.
Council President Wesson approaches the issue by acknowledging that Building and Safety and Planning are the two departments that receive the most complaints. The audience of professionals, however, notes that Planning receives complaints because the City has not invested in upgrading the Los Angeles zoning code since the 1940s, and the functions of both departments do not particularly overlap. Wesson's discussion illustrates the effect that fiscal burdens take on cities today. As American urban areas continue to grow, municipalities are forced to cut the tools they need to accomodate change.

Overweight teen boys have increased the risk of stroke in later life
According to several studies, it is concluded that around eighty percent teenagers are obese and out of these eighty percent seventy-two percent are boys. Now according to the Swedish scientist, these obese boys increase the risk of stroke in their later life by ten percent. Those who are fat around eight or ten and have normal weight in their teen age have the normal chances of stroke in their old age. According to this scientist when there are two point increases in the body mass index I.e. BMI between the age group from eight to twenty are twenty percent more likely to have a stroke. Check out how Overweight teen boys have increased the risk of stroke in later life.
Dr Jenny Kindblom in his research concluded that in today's time there is more risk of stroke to adults as compared to the old generation. The study also concluded that there is also more risk of high blood pressure to the people who were obese in their teen age. And it is being medically proved that people with high blood pressure have more chances to have a stroke.
How was this research concluded?
Researchers on the trial basis picked around 37,669 males living in that area. Those participants were required to tell their body weight, height, body mass index, childhood weight and disease they were suffering from. Now they tried to compare and connect this data with their later life health outcomes and the situation they compared their weight and no. of strokes they had or any possibility of blockage or stroke they had.
Among the given number of participants it was found that around 918 people had strokes out of these nine hundred eighteen strokes 672 were ischemic strokes, 207 intracerebral hemorrhages, and thirty-nine could not be determined.
An ischaemic stroke is a situation where a blood clot blocks the flow of blood and oxygen to the passage of brain. It is among the most common and frequent kinds of stroke which people are suffering now a day.
An intracerebral hemorrhage is a situation where in the weak blood vessel in the passage of brain bursts and makes the blood spill internally.
How did the researchers conclude the results?
The researchers found out that, increase in body mass index during teen age is directly connected with the risk of strokes during the adulthood.
They concluded that increase in body mass index results in higher blood pressure which directly connects with the chances of strokes or vessel blockage.
From the above study conducted by researchers, it can easily be concluded that there was a connection between being obese in the teen ages and having a stroke in the adult hood.
It also recommends that the best part of the study found was that there are no increased chances of strokes if you obese around 8 and not in your teen ages.

"Your are in the front row. A bony Arabian mare stands so close you can see the scars on her flanks, and the terror in her eyes. Three men on horseback swoop down on the mare, chasing her with swinging lariats, until she's galloping 25 miles an hour. Each time the mare races round the ring, a fourth man aims a rope at the mare's forelegs. The goal: to topple her to the ground, and win points.
This mare has already been lassoed several times―those scars you saw were rope burns that carved away inches of her flesh. But this time the mare won't get up again. She crashes head over heels, breaks her leg, and is euthanized."
― AMBUJA ROSEN, Independent Journalist.
Charreadas (or Charreria) are Mexican-style rodeos and a national sport in its home country.
However, this cruel "sport" has now spread to the United States, mostly in western states.
There are ten individual competitions, six of which involve horses, and are all cruel.
The second, seventh and eighth events are the ones most often targeted by horse welfare advocates. These events involve what is commonly referred to in the U.S. as "horse tripping."
Competing cowboys are called charros.
Points are awarded for literally tripping horses, and how quickly the charro can do it.
First they release a horse from a chute, often shocking the horse with an electric prod. A group of waiting charros force the horse into a full gallop.
The competing charro – either on horseback or on the ground – lassos the front or hind legs of the horse, causing the animal to come crashing down to the ground.
Charros prefer small, lightweight horses because they are easier to bring down.
Witnesses have noted that the charros continue to trip horses during charreadas until they are lame or can no longer run.
Horses sustain multiple serious injuries, including broken legs and necks, and spinal damage. Horses who try to escape by jumping over fences or walls are only captured and brought back to the arena for more torture to the cheers of the crowd.
There are no statistics available on the number of horses used in charro rodeos. They are not typically privately owned, but instead leased as they do not normally survive.
One source of horses for leasing to charro rodeos are feedlots.
Killer buyers employed by slaughterhouses lease out horses for the charreada circuit to make extra money from them before selling the horses to horse slaughter plants.
Before horse tripping was banned in California, a source at a Riverside feedlot reported they leased 25 horses per weekend to two different charro rodeos.
Upon their return, approximately 2 to 5 horses per week displayed injuries serious enough that the animals were sent to slaughter.
For each horse that went to slaughter, another from the feedlot replaced her on the charro circuit.
During that particular season, 75 to 100 horses were leased from that particular lot to the two charro rodeos, but only 2 of the original horses survived until the season's end.
Source: Ambuja Rosen, Independent Journalist. Rosen's work has appeared in more than 60 publications.
Note: We no longer have contact information for Ms Rosen.
In 1994, Governor Pete Wilson signed a bill into law banning the intentional tripping of horses for sport or entertainment in California.
The bill was supported by numerous groups including the California Veterinary Medical Association, the American Horse Protection Association, the California Council of Police and Sheriffs, the California District Attorney's Association, the Great American Cowboy Association, and breeding and racing associations.
Hispanic organizations also endorsed the California legislation including the Mexican American Chamber of Commerce.
As of this writing, horse tripping has been banned in the following U.S. states:
Arizona, California, Florida, Illinois, Kansas,Maine, Nevada, New Mexico, Nebraska, Oklahoma, Oregon, Rhode Island and Texas.
Enforcement, however, is difficult as many charro rodeos are conducted in remote areas. In some States reports are the law is not being enforced, such as Oregon.
Horse tripping is still done in Wyoming, Utah, Colorado (where it has become a part of their State Fair rodeo program) and the eastern region of Washington state.
The US Bureau of Land Management conducts helicopter round ups of America's iconic wild horses in those states. Wild horses have been spotted in charro rodeos.
The practice of horse tripping has also been banned in film and TV production; by the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association and the American Quarter Horse Association.
Outlawing horse slaughter would not only protect horses from entering the slaughter pipeline, but also remove them as a major source of horses for charreada events, striking a significant blow to this cruel and barbaric "sport".

Racial discrimination as defined in international law is "any distinction, exclusion, restriction or preference based on race, colour, descent or national or ethnic origin which has the purpose or effect of nullifying or impairing the recognition, enjoyment or exercise, on an equal footing, of human rights and fundamental freedoms in the political, economic, social, cultural or any other field of public life." 1
Discrimination may be distinguished from prejudice which is made up of unfavourable or discriminatory attitudes (not actions) towards persons of different categories. Racial, sexual and other types of discrimination can exist at the level of personal relations and individual behaviour as well as be institutionalised as legal or administrative policy. The term discrimination refers to modern industrial societies characterised by a generalized ideology of equality of opportunities and rights, but which exclude from them certain categories of persons, sometimes small minorities but often large and important ones or even majorities such as women.2
Discrimination is the selection for unfavourable treatment of an individual or individuals on the basis of: gender, race, colour or ethnic or national origin, religion, disability, sexual orientation, social class, age (subject to the usual conventions on retirement), marital status or family responsibilities, or as a result of any conditions or requirements that do not accord with the principles of fairness and natural justice. It can take a variety of forms and may include the following:
- direct discrimination, for example, refusing to admit as students, employ or promote individuals because they are black, female, disabled or because of their sexual orientation;
- indirect discrimination, for example, setting age qualifications which discriminate against women who have had periods away from work because of family responsibilities.
Discrimination and Harassment refer to intentional or unintentional behaviour for which there is no reasonable justification. Such behaviour adversely affects specific individuals or groups on the basis of characteristics defined by the 1992 B.C. Human Rights Act. These characteristics include age, race, colour, ancestry, place of origin, political belief, religion, marital status, family status, physical or mental disability, sex, sexual orientation, and unrelated criminal convictions.

Although our world has become a lot more evolved and tolerant, it's clearly evident that racism still plagues society, even in this day and age. Racial tolerance is thus a topic very much important in our everyday lives. Teens can be confused by the barrage of information dumped on them from all sides, or they could be negatively influenced by peers or elders to make racist comments and treat them as "no big deal". A simple comment can be very hurtful, and teens should understand why racist comments and actions are not okay.
1Never discourage curiosity. If certain questions make you uncomfortable about saying the wrong thing inadvertently, make sure to reflect and think about what exactly to say before you start talking. Teens are impressionable and whether they admit it or not, parents and guardians play a very important role in formulating their views on life. Shutting down curiosity about racial diversity and racism can lead to displaced anger towards others.
2Examine your own behavior first. If you think it's OK to blurt out jokes about people from another culture, or if you think snide innuendos about race are funny, think again. Aside from the hurt your own comments may cause, they are setting a bad example for your children.
3Racism, like other prejudices, often stems from ignorance and fear of the unknown. Educate kids on different cultures around the world, and even within their own country, so that they can appreciate the fact that the world isn't one boring, homogeneous place. Take them to museums, introduce them to books and real-life accounts of people who'd had to undergo severe discrimination. Expose them through their childhood to books, toys, movies, etc. that have people who are from races and cultures not their own.
4Show them the hard, cold facts. Don't talk about apartheid as a faraway historical topic that happened way back in the Paleolithic age. Introduce them to movies like Remember The Titans, and to books like To Kill A Mockingbird that deal with racism in the present world.
5Teach good ways to show curiosity about another culture. Asking others to teach you a few words of their native language works. Asking them to change their accent, on the other hand, is just plain dumb. If someone has an accent, it simply means he or she knows one more language than you do.
6Tell kids about things that are definite no-nos. It's unacceptable to name-call and discriminate against people because of the way they look.
7If your kid has ever been discriminated against, help them recognize that stereotypes exist no matter what, where, with who, or how. It's up to them to not let the sheer stupidity of it all get to them. Let them see it's what's different that makes them special. Teach them to be proud of their own culture.
8Keep an eye out for popular stereotypes being glamorized by the media. This doesn't mean you have to censor everything a teen watches, just make sure that their favorite shows don't encourage them to treat people poorly if they look, talk, walk, or eat differently. If your kid's favorite T.V. show has a parody token minority, talk about it. If all else fails, make them learn from every teenager's favorite teacher: Lady Gaga.'Born this Way' says it all. Lady Gaga is the perfect sign for teens to embrace everything about themselves.
9If peer pressure is the problem, help them see that bullies are often just scared and resentful inside. Helping your child deal with bullying is challenging no matter the cause, but racial bullying can be particularly hurtful. It can teach your child to resent who they are.Advertisement

Ant Control in Las Vegas & North Las Vegas
Ants are tiny pests that can be difficult to detect in your home. These small insects typically group and form colonies. Ant species share common physical traits, including three distinct body regions and a pair of antennae. Once inside your home, these pests can be difficult to eradicate and may harm your home and your family.
Entering Your Garden and Home
Ants are always on the prowl for new sources of food. They can find plenty of organic material to dine on in your yard. Your kitchen may also provide some tempting meals, from leftover food scraps to fresh fruit sitting on your counter. Due to the tiny size of most ant species, they have little trouble fitting through tiny cracks in your window seals. Ants leave a scent trail as they explore, beckoning more ants to follow.
Effects On Home and Health
Some species of ants can cause harm to humans. For example, fire ants can sting anyone who gets too close to them or their mound. Mild reactions to these stings include pain and swelling. Severe reactions may include nausea, dizziness, and difficulty breathing. In these extreme cases, the victim should immediately seek medical treatment.
Other species of ants can cause damage to the structure of your home. Carpenter ants, for example, chew through the wood grain in your home's structural supports. Typically, these ants seek to live in dark and damp areas of your home, especially the areas near your home's plumbing. If these pests are left unchecked, the ants will become increasingly difficult and expensive to remove.
Eliminating Ant Colonies
If you have an entire ant colony living in your home, setting traps may help you reduce the colony's population; however, eliminating an entire colony is a challenging feat on your own. Hiring a professional company is an effective way to deal with a persistent ant problem. If you need help dealing with ants, contact Pest Control Solutions, Inc. for assistance.

More numbers.
Ham radio club members are obsessed with trading numbers with each other. Every club has numbers it seems, even some of the ones of who don't have dues or officers!
here's some of mine:
QRPARCI (the first number I ever got) 10774
Flying Pigs: 2359
QRP-L Zombie: 1059
and most recently:
the NAQCC : 7276, the number featured as the title of this blog.
On Wednesday night, May 21 (22 May 0200 UTC) I decided to get a lil QRV in an effort to practice my rapid radio deployment skills.
Here's a short video I made when I got to work:
I moved the vehicle once the parking lot cleared out some, and stretched my antenna up and across the parking lot. It was about 6 inches higher than my upstretched hand at the middle. 10-15 feet at the highest. Not exactly the best placement, but I know from experience that this height will get me a good match on 40m, so a tuner isn't necessary. There's a decent number of QRP operators between FL and GA so I figured someone would hear me if I could hear them.
When I'm at work, I don't really have much time to operate. I get a 15 minute break and a 30 minute lunch break. During my 15min break, I worked like mad to get the antenna fully deployed, and then started calling CQ just to see if I could get a reverse beacon spot, and figure out where in the band I was transmitting. Lo and behold, after the second round of calling CQ, I get a station come back to me! It was Jim, W3GYM, just down the road in "The Villages" FL. We had a short QSO, then I had to head back inside to work.
|I copied Jim! W3GYM.
Knowing where you are with "The Killer Watt Radio" is an exercise is best-guestimation. I know that at the bottom of the tuning range, I'm around 7005 KHz, and the top, 7070KHz. I had plans on building a freq mite, still might, but not sure if I want to do that, or just do something with a digital display. I go back and forth. Probably should do a freq mite. When Dave retired the Small Wonder Labs business, he gave the design to the 4SQRP club and they gave me a number, so I should support them.
I tuned up the band, trying to guess where 7030 was, and then down the band, trying to guess the same. Finally, a lound "CQ NA" came on the air, and I worked K4BAI. He's not a stranger in my log, and it is always a pleasure to work him. I tuned around a little more, and heard some more CQ's, but QSB and QRN fought to keep me from catching the whole call. Finally, I copied N5GW, and added DX to the log. Hey, when your antenna is between 8 and 15 feet off the ground, outside of your home call area is DX! I tried to call CQ NA on a clear frequency between these two FB OP, but no luck, only two contacts for me. I took the antenna down and packed up my station when I clocked out to go home that night.
|key on my leg, gettin' 'er done!
The important thing about this little excursion was not that I scored well, or that I have a new antenna to share about, or even that I now have all kinds of nice numbers to trade with other people. Happily I got on the air, and made some contacts. Didn't need to make many, just needed to have one.
Mission accomplished.
Now to find another club I can join who will give me a number that I can trade...

"A Plain Thing" (Flash Fiction Friday)
I doubt this is going to become a weekly thing, but today is Friday and this is some flash fiction I wrote, hence the parenthetical subtitle. Anyway, I'd love it if you'd read this and tell me what you think. Thanks!
They kept their voices low, her mother and father, and the sheriff, too, when he showed up. They didn't want her to hear. They drank coffee in the kitchen and their voices were dark, as if there was a shadow lurking in them somewhere. Luckily, she had good ears and could make out almost all of what they said, standing where she was in the doorway between the hall and living room and leaning against the edge of wall that divided the two.
They said that there was a severed cow head in the pasture, just outside the edge of the forest. It wasn't one of theirs. That was the strangest thing, her father said. He couldn't understand why someone would just dump a thing like that in someone's field in the middle of the night, way off the road.
The sheriff said they must have carried it, too, because there were no tire tracks.
Her mother said it made her sick to think of something like that.
It was Saturday morning, late fall, and the wind blew a shower of yellow-brown leaves from the tree in the front yard. She could hear their soughing through the window. The leaves looked like butterflies as they fell and sunlight trembled on the grass like a living thing.
She stood up straight and went to her bedroom, climbed over her unmade bed and opened her window. It was especially cold in the shade. She put on her boots and a sweater, popped out the screen, and climbed out. She was still in her flannel nightgown and she crept across the backyard, pretending she was a cat, then climbed over the fence and into the wide golden field. The air was earth-sweet and the frosted dew on the close-cut grass crunched under her boots as she ran. Halfway across the field, she thought she heard a far-away, ringing cry that might have been her mother's voice.
The head was just a small, black lump in the distance until the final few strides, when it finally became what it was, as if it had popped into existence at the last moment to prove itself to her. It was lying sideways; its eyes were closed; and the mouth was open, its flat white teeth showing and the tongue sparkling with frost, lolling out for one last lick of grass. The skin was shredded at the nape. The meat and bones were glossy and smooth with varying shades of red and pink and fat-white, like the petals on a marbled rose, and the tag on its ear was blue. It barely stank.
She had expected to feel something bigger. There was a tingling in her feet, like they were being tickled, and a sense that she was made of air, that she was small and floating inside herself somehow. But she wasn't afraid and she didn't feel sick. She wondered if maybe it was because it didn't seem real, but it did. It was plain as anything. She felt sorry for the cow; there was a sore feeling in her center, just above her stomach, and it made her feel better when she felt it. But it went in and out, and it was out more than in, and when it was out, there was nothing to replace it.
She wondered if it would prove something to touch it. She squatted down, the cold creeping up under her nightgown, and reached out and ran her fingers over the fur. She didn't want to touch the meat. The fur felt both smooth and coarse, and aside from it being very cold, there was nothing different about the feel of it from a live cow. Again, she waited for something to come and knock into her, but there was nothing. Somehow death had turned out to be a plain thing.
She sat down and stretched out her legs, her feet on either side of the head, and felt the hard yellow grass scratch her skin where it was exposed. She sat there until her father came and picked her up by her shoulders and made her stand. She could feel the fear inside him slip out when he asked her what the hell she thought she was doing. It made her ashamed of herself; she couldn't look him in the face.

I like that you used "plain thing" in a couple of parts. That kind of reinforced the theme that death wasn't as scary or emotional as she had expected. 😉
I may be getting a little over-analytical but the "black lump" seems to symbolize her fear of death. The part where you say "it finally became what it was, as if it had popped into existence at the last moment to prove itself to her" is like her realization of the existence of death. And "It barely stank" being that death isn't as bad as she thought it would be (as you describe in the next paragraph). I love the contrast of "The fur felt both smooth and coarse" in that it could be a metaphor for heaven and hell (ever-present in analogies of death). (Was analogies the right word there?)
"She could feel the fear inside him slip out when he asked her what the hell she thought she was doing." It's as if he was afraid she'd lost her innocence by confronting death like that and that's the basis of his fear. Him asking her what the hell she was doing also reinforced the heaven/hell theme and her shame in not being able to look him in the face. Shame is acknowledgement of sin and this emphasizes the theme of contrasting heaven and hell.
You may not have had any of these things in mind when you were writing it and it just shows you how people can interpret writing in such vastly different ways. I wonder how much of the "symbology" (ha! just had to throw that in there!) symbolism of old poems and stories are actually the author's intent or what we're reading into it.
Excellent work!
Hello! Some of the things you mentioned I did intend, and some things I didn't. But whether I did or didn't, I think your overall sense of the story is dead-on. I'm glad the story gave you so much to think about, and you're right: the wonderful thing about stories (and art in general) is that they can be read in so many ways. Paraphrasing Oscar Wilde, readers/critics contribute just as much to a story's meaning as the writer, and it's great when people get different things from a single work. Thank you so much for posting such a thoughtful and thorough analysis, as well as the compliment. I really appreciate it.
P.S. Love the Boondock Saints allusion. 🙂
…there was a sore feeling in her center, just above her stomach, and it made her feel better when she felt it. But it went in and out, and it was out more than in, and when it was out, there was nothing to replace it.
Nice polysyndetonic usage here. I use this a lot, but then again, I'm a fan of the style.
Thanks, Joseph!

Marc was starting to experience severe ankle arthritis, a condition seen with age or prior trauma such as an ankle fracture or sprain. His arthritis was so severe, there was hardly any cartilage left in his ankle. "I was in extreme pain and my entire quality of life went down," he explains.

Trading Steel for Stone: Tales of a Rustbelt Refugee Turned Rocky Mountain Rescuer
When the author, Tom Wood, began his career as a volunteer mountain rescuer with the Alpine Rescue Team in Colorado seventeen years ago, he was a clueless Youngstowner fresh off the interstate from Ohio who didn't know Gore-Tex from Tex-Mex. He had a lifetime of ridiculously dangerous pursuits and backcountry sins to atone for, so he became a Rocky Mountain rescuer with the intention of repaying the massive karmic debt he had accumulated. This is the story of how a career in volunteer service to others transformed a self-absorbed Rustbelt redneck adrenaline junkie into one of the nation's leading voices in technical rope rescue.

Have you created a class library for tests with XUnit and .NET standard? Doesn't it work?
I had the same problem and the stackoverflow questions about it didn't help.
What I did was to create a new temp project from the Visual Studio 2017 command line by running
dotnet new xunit. That created a new project file with the correct settings.
As it turns out, you can't use a .NET Standard class library for xunit. You need to create a .NET core one. All your other libraries can still using .NET Standard.
I edited my own MyProject.Test.csproj. Here's what it looks like after my edits:
<Project Sdk="Microsoft.NET.Sdk"> <PropertyGroup> <TargetFramework>netcoreapp2.0</TargetFramework> <IsPackable>false</IsPackable> </PropertyGroup> <ItemGroup> <PackageReference Include="FluentAssertions" Version="4.19.2" /> <PackageReference Include="Microsoft.NET.Test.Sdk" Version="15.3.0-preview-20170427-09" /> <PackageReference Include="xunit" Version="2.2.0" /> <PackageReference Include="xunit.runner.visualstudio" Version="2.2.0" /> </ItemGroup> <ItemGroup> <ProjectReference Include="..\SharpMessaging\SharpMessaging.csproj" /> </ItemGroup> </Project>
Hope that it helps you too.

There have been a few bright spots in what has otherwise been a pretty awful week.
I've had a profound appreciation for being unemployed this week - otherwise I never would have had the opportunity to simply hop the next bus to my mom's when I needed to be there on Wednesday. I could not be more grateful for the fact that nothing stood in my way. To be able to be at home now, hidden in a burrow of blankets on the couch alternating between being ok/hurting like hell and unable to stop crying/just trying not to feel so bad for a few moments instead of trying to appear to be ok in public. I'd had enough of crying in public by the time I got home Wednesday night. (I just don't like crying in public in general. I'm sure the sentiment is shared by many.)
I was reminded of the fact that even though we have a difficult, loaded relationship that I have a mother who loves me, a lot, and only wants happiness for me. Of how I have the best brother in the world, bar none. That even though my extended family is one giant mess, the people who matter are always there.
And Bunny. Always Bunny.
Who bailed out early on a friends' birthday to come home and be with me. (Please note that I told him to still go to the party.) Who talked and cuddled on the couch. Bunny who went out and bought hot chocolate and didn't say a word when I drank three mugs. Who just said "ok", kissed my forehead and turned on the TV during his nap yesterday when I told him the quiet was bad. Who held me in bed and stroked my hair when I cried half the night.
To have someone who I could simply snuggle into and cry to. It's not that I've never cried to Bunny, or in front of Bunny before. There have been tearful phone calls, and when I have PMS I cry for no good reason and I just can't stop, and probably a hundred other times. Never, though, have I ever turned to someone in the middle of the night and just cried my heart out.

Hypnosis for Weight Control
I have used these approaches with my clients for years and finally have pulled everything together in an easy to follow format.This 7-8 session weight program is based on the work of several experts in the weight reduction field as well as on my experience working with private clients since 1989.
The program is designed for clients who require a significant amount of weight reduction. You can use fewer sessions for clients who have simply formed bad eating habits and wish to reduce by ten or twenty pounds. Those clients probably won't require regression or parts therapy.
I have applied hypnosis, NLP and EFT to seven steps to weight loss. Please take this material and adapt it to the personal needs of each client. For clients who require a significant amount of weight reduction I recommend a minimum of eight sessions. Some of your clients will need additional sessions to resolve emotional traumas from childhood as well as dealing with part.
Following a recorded session, the home fun assignment is always to listen to the recording at least once a day.
The program can easily be adapted for groups. I have included a few notes with each session about working with groups for weight control.
You may record the scripts in this book for your individual clients. Each script is in 14 point type and spaced at 1.5 for easier use.
If you wish to record the sessions to sell, a License to Record is included.
"I received the weight control program last week and think it's very top notch. Thank you!" Denise Mosher, CHT
"I love it… I'm so happy with it!" Loretta Shughrue, CHT

Great Scott! Shoes With Self-Tying Laces Are Finally Hitting The Streets
Time to toss away that Back to the Future Part II Blu-ray (actually, don't do that): Nike has officially revealed its eternally-anticipated sneaker that can tie its own laces—just like in the movies!
If this news makes you feel like you're going back to last October's Back to the Future day, that's because Michael J. Fox/Marty McFly tested out similar technology in tandem with the milestone date that coincided with his first trip to futuristic Hill Valley.
But those were Air Mags, and everyone knows Air Mags are so two seasons ago. While those shoes were sold in extremely limited supply at an auction to benefit the Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson's disease research, these will be available for public feet.
Nike CEO Mark Parker unveiled the HyperAdapt 1.0 (yup, sounds pretty space-age) at New York City's Nike Innovation 2016 event just this week. And how does this amazing technology work?
"When you step in, your heel will hit a sensor and the system will automatically tighten. Then there are two buttons on the side to tighten and loosen," explained Nike senior innovator Tiffany Beers. "You can adjust it until it's perfect."
The HyperAdapt 1.0 (kinda just makes you wonder what 2.0 can bring to the table) will be available in black, white, and grey for Nike+ members this holiday season. The company also said its Nike+ app will get a big ol' update in June that will grant access to "coveted products and events."
So if you really want to party like it's October 22, 2015, download that Nike+ app and wait a bit longer. In the meantime, dig those light-up soles in the promo video below:

Stranded and struggling eight miles from water
August 11, 2011
These are the children of Qaraa. Covered in dust, thin and dazed, they are on the brink.
They and their families were once nomads, travelling with their animals from place to place. But two months ago they stopped where they found themselves, eight miles from the nearest water point on a dusty roadside, because they couldn't continue any longer.
The last of their cattle and camels had died. They were too weak to continue and simply had no place else to go. They stopped out of desperation, abandoning the only life they knew, with no means to provide for themselves and no alternative.
They have no way to get water. They have barely any food. The 50 families have survived for the last few weeks by selling the few goats they had left. This has bought them meagre supplies of maize and a little rice, but that's running out fast. Each family has had scarcely one 10 litre jerry can of water to last them two days at a time. When families have 10 people on average, that's not nearly enough to stay alive.
One of the community elders told me: "It takes five hours to walk to the nearest water. We cannot carry water that far ourselves now, and the last of our donkeys is also too weak to carry any. We do not have anything left, and we don't know what to do. Our children are so thin. They are coughing all the time and we don't know why."
It's communities like these who need our help most. Without it, they may not survive much longer.

Florida's restriction on prescribing opioids may force doctors to leave patients in pain
The United States is in the throes of opioid epidemic, which is only getting worse by the day. According to the 2016 National Survey on Drug Use and Health (NSDUH) by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), approximately 11.8 million people aged 12 or older misused opioids in 2015. In fact, around 948,000 people aged 12 or older abused heroin in 2015.
One of the common reasons cited for these startling numbers is the easy availability of heroin. In order to fight against this issue of opioid misuse, the state of Florida has implemented a new provision that imposes the limit of three days on the prescriptions of the potentially addictive painkillers like OxyContin and fentanyl. The above-mentioned provision is currently under consideration by the House and Senate committees, which can be increased to around seven when deemed medically necessary. However, this has raised concerns among doctors and experts about how they could treat their patients under such restrictions.
Arguments levelled against the new legislation
The doctors and other medical practitioners are now vociferously opposing the new law. The doctors have told the lawmakers that implementing such restrictions won't allow them to offer proper treatment to individuals dealing with acute pain. This will also limit their flexibility in judging the patient's condition and prescribing the right amount of medication. Moreover, this will cause a lot of trouble to the patients who have limited access to transportation or cannot afford to waste their money on commutation just to get the same prescription renewed.
They have further stated that such a standard rule is impractical in approach. Drawing the attention of the lawmakers, they highlighted that the needs of each patient is different from others. As per the requirements of the patient, the doctors determine a medication regime. Therefore, setting a common limit to treat individuals dealing with different levels of pain might make them incapable of offering the right treatment.
Take preventive measures to stay drug-free
Such restrictions might affect the ability of doctors and physicians to offer the right form of treatment to their patients. In order to abide by the law, many may be forced to not prescribe medications as required. Therefore, the promulgation of this provision will lead to trouble in many ways. The better way to deal with opioid epidemic is to spread awareness about the repercussions of opioid epidemic, both personally professionally.
Restricting the availability of painkillers and keeping tabs on malpractices like doctor shopping are some of the effective remedial measures to deal with this trouble. People who have already fallen into the trap of opioid addiction must seek help and treatment. It is important to ensure that people suffering from opioid abuse do not go undiagnosed and seek help at the right time to begin a healthy life.
The treatment for opioid addiction is available in the form of medications, psychotherapies, self-help groups, support groups, etc. In case there is someone you know who is addicted to opioids or any other form of prescription drug, we can help him or her in attaining recovery. The experts available at the Florida Prescription Addiction Helpline can assist you by providing the complete information about the best prescription drug rehab centers in Florida. Call us at our 24/7 helpline number 866-292-3211 or chat online with a specialist to connect with one of the best and state-of-the art prescription drug rehabilitation in Florida.

Prominent venture capital firm Accel Partners today announced the first and final close of a new $475m fund focused on Europe and Israel.
The new fund – London IV, to be run out of the firm's European headquarters in that city – is aimed at early and growth-stage companies across a wide spread of industries: consumer internet, big data, cloud, SaaS and mobile. If it follows the previous Accel playbook, it will be able to make investments of between $500,000 to $50m.
"The fact that Accel London IV was raised in eight weeks and was significantly over-subscribed is a powerful endorsement of Accel London and the market opportunity in Europe and Israel from our world-class investors," Accel partner in London Kevin Comolli said in a press statement.
The Financial Times reported today that 65 per cent of the investors in Accel's new fund hail from the US – according to Comolli, a further vote of confidence in Europe – and 30 per cent from Europe. He added the firm would place less emphasis on consumer internet with the new fund and more on big data, cloud computing and SaaS.
Accel Partners' biggest hits include Playfish, QlikTech and Kayak. QlikTech – a business intelligence software company backed by Accel and Jerusalem Venture Partners in an $12.5m round in 2004 – listed on the NASDAQ in July 2010, which the firm claims returned over $400m.
Other partners in the London office include Sonali De Rycker, Bruce Golden and Harry Nelis. The firm also has offices in Palo Alto, New York City and Bangalore, and is active in China via a partnership with IDG-Accel.

On the platforms that you mention, you will be using UTL_SMTP. You're

Good luck. YMMV (especially installing the Java stuff.)

Vet med experts help solve a grizzly dental problem
Knute, a grizzly bear at the B.C. Wildlife Park in Kamloops, was not a happy bear. Pain from a damaged and infected canine tooth was keeping him up at night.
So staff at the wildlife facility, looking to help the eight-year-old bear, contacted Dr. Alfredo Romero at the University of Calgary Faculty of Veterinary Medicine (UCVM). Romero, who teaches diagnostic imaging and large animal surgery, and his wife Dr. Jean-Yin Tan, a veterinary internal medicine expert, were keen to help. They teamed up with UCVM's Dr. Nigel Caulkett, a world-renowned expert in wildlife anesthesia, and his wife, Joan Caulkett, an animal health technician.
The Caulketts frequently work together on wildlife projects including polar bears and black bears. "It's not uncommon to end up anesthetizing animals on our vacation," Nigel Caulkett says. "It happens a fair bit."
Rounding out the contingent to help Knute were three B.C. veterinarians including Dr. Teresa Jacobson, who performs large animal dentistry, and staff at the wildlife park.
With all the experts in place, the bear's grizzly tooth problem was ready to be tackled.
"One of the things that made this go so smoothly was that the zoo keeper had trained the bear to present his shoulder at the cage bars for injections so we didn't have to use a dart rifle," says Nigel Caulkett. "The bear just came up and she used a long syringe to give him the drugs. He was asleep within a few minutes."
With Knute anesthetized, the next step was for Joan Caulkett to put in an intravenous catheter and endotracheal tube so the bear could be given gas anesthesia and supplemental oxygen during the procedure.
"That was little tricky because the scope we usually use was too short so she actually had to put her hand right into the bear's mouth to put the tube in, so she wanted me to be absolutely sure he was well anesthetized at that point."
Because of Nigel Caulkett's expertise in anesthetizing wildlife, he knew the right drugs and right doses to put the 250-kilogram bear under for just the right amount of time—preventing issues such as a lengthy recovery time or a sudden unexpected recovery. And with his extensive backcountry experience, working on bears with minimal equipment and often using a dart gun from a helicopter, this controlled, well-organized surgery didn't cause him much stress.
"Honestly, I've anesthetized so many bears that I don't really worry too much about the drug affects because they tend to be quite safe. So for me it was little less stressful than anesthetizing a sick, geriatric dog, just because the risk to the animal was a lot lower."
With Knute fully anesthetized, the team hoisted him onto a surgical table and Alfredo Romero was able to take X-rays.
"We didn't know the full extent of the tooth damage because having the bear under general anesthesia was the first opportunity anybody had to actually get a good closeup view," Romero says. "So we got a good look at what was happening and saw that half the tooth was there but it was cracked below the gum line and there was a crack in one of the adjacent teeth as well. Dr. Jacobson decided that to preserve as much of the tooth as possible, the best thing to do was to remove one of the incisors and do a root canal on the remaining portion of the canine tooth."
Romero has done surgery on a tiger, a zebra and a camel, but this was the first time he'd worked on a grizzly bear.
"During my residency we had a tiger that had choked and so we had to do surgery. It was pretty similar in the amount of precautions we took, lots of safety measures and the risks were fairly equal. If he wakes up, we're all in trouble."
When the root canal was finished, Caulkett says bringing Knute back around went smoothly.
"We turned the gas off and let him breath off some of the gas. Then we gave him a reversal drug for his injectable drugs and he was up and standing within about 20 minutes."
With the procedure over and the bear recovered, the UCVM team carried on with their vacations. To round off their holiday in Vancouver at the end of the week, Romero and Tan will make a pit stop in Kamloops to do a followup check on Knute.

Civil Rights Experiences (7)
Experiences: The civil rights experiences of the Bennett College women are a unique collection and have historical significance. The civil rights movement was a social and political upheaval in the US South and much of the history of this movement is documented. Yet the impact of the women of Bennett College is not typically included or explored. The interviews cover the actions of women from Bennett College in the historic 1960 Sit-in demonstrations at Woolworths lunch counter in Greensboro, North Carolina. These demonstrations resulted in a wave of similar sit-ins. The non-violent Greensboro demonstrations are significant landmarks in the integration of public facilities. The Novak interviews are important in giving documentation to the way women made socially conscientious decisions and how those decisions impacted on their continuing commitment to social change. A special feature of the civil rights interviews are that they can be accessed as fully searchable stories using technologies developed at the Entertainment Technology Center (ETC) at Carnegie Mellon University.
Migrant Workers (5)
Experiences: The migrant workers interviews were the result of a Marygrove College travel seminar to Homestead, Florida. Future plans for this collection are to link the migrant experiences of the southern US with the migrant experiences of Detroit.

Recent reviews
Very good 8.4 From 19 reviews
The Crown Beach hotel is an incredible value in Seychelles. The level of service, comfort, beautiful beach and wonderful restaurant make this a great option for a smaller hotel. It is located off the main road that runs along the island. If you have a mountain view, you will hear cars driving by at night. For a more quiet setting, choose an oceanview. The staff at Crown Beach was one of the best I have experienced at a hotel. They all went out of their way to be helpful. There is a lot offered for breakfast, made fresh such as any type of eggs you want and crepe pancakes. The dinners were of high quality fresh fish, and affordable ($40 USD/per person). I would highly recommend staying here if you are looking for a smaller hotel on Mahe at an affordable price. Note - this is Seychelles...don't expect super-fast wifi.

#198- The Painful Pattern of Self-Sabotage
#198- The Painful Pattern of Self-Sabotage
#198- The Painful Pattern of Self-Sabotage
We sabotage ourselves when we don't think we're good enough and don't deserve what we want. We're afraid we're going to screw things up, so we play everything small and safe. We don't trust ourselves to handle a healthy relationship or the challenge of a new job, so instead of taking the leap into the unknown, we self-sabotage to ensure we don't have those things. It's a pattern we've learned, which means it can be unlearned.
Growing up, my self-sabotaging techniques were to distance myself from others and create drama… and they still come up today with my boyfriend. If I weren't aware of them and hadn't done a lot of uncomfortable work connecting with my feelings, I probably would have sabotaged our relationship by now.
We cause our own problems because we believe we don't deserve better. Instead of perpetuating that belief, observe yourself. What is your motivation? What are you afraid to admit to yourself? Pay attention to your words, thoughts, actions and feelings. Are you distancing yourself? Are you actively going against what you say you want? Awareness is critical. Looking inward and answering these questions will lead to trusting yourself. And when you trust yourself, your need to sabotage will start to subside.

My sons say it's time for a facelift. Not me, my blog.
Mainly, you'll notice a more orderly breakdown of stories. While my emphasis will stay on sports – tennis in particular – we'll continue to offer other topics, including politics and human interest features. The stories will be divided into separate categories. Also, we'll occasionally invite other bloggers and students to contribute commentaries.
When Barack Obama became a presidential candidate, I felt compelled to add my two cents worth regarding the road he traveled to become the nation's first African American president. His struggle to stay focused on the job at hand has been – and will continue to be – made more difficult by a segment of our society which blindly opposes black leaders at any level.
Right-wing extremist leaders – with malice of forethought – will continue to do and say anything to disrupt, discredit and destroy Obama's policies, even when they prove to be what the country needs. Please join the conversations with your own thoughts and comments.

Taggie Blanket and Play Dog Bed
I am still trying to ease my way back into sewing. Don't want to overdo it, you know? I was definitely itching to make something though. Miller's teacher is pregnant and about to go on maternity leave so I made her a taggie blanket to go along with a bib and burp cloth set that I had already made.
Miller has been asking me to make him a dog bed for her his dogs, so I finally managed to make him one.
I was going to make a blanket, but he wanted it to be a sleeping bag. So it quickly became a sleeping bag.
Bailey was very interested in this new bed. She was probably jealous that I did not make it for her.
Happy Crafty Tuesday everyone!!!

6 of 9 blocks
6 of the 9 blocks are done! I'm really liking it a lot! I can't wait to get all 9 blocks done and then sew it together into a small blanket! It's very eye catching and I like that!
But of course, before sewing or any chores, we always go on a bike ride and play at the parks in town! David certainly loves to play and he plays hard!

If you are one of those readers who simply devours fiction – you know the kind of fiction I mean: clichéd romances and thrillers, with stereotypical characters and pedestrian writing – then this book is NOT for you. Another World is Possible is for those who want something different to read, something challenging, something authentic. In short, it is a book for thinkers.
Those words "different", "challenging" and "authentic" sum up the book. It is constructed like a set of Russian dolls: there are puzzles within riddles within a conundrum. The overarching conundrum is, of course, whether Roisin really is the lovechild of Che Guevara. I'll say no more about that, except to warn you thinkers that you'll be kept guessing throughout.
You'll also constantly ask yourself other questions. Who is narrating the story? How much of what they say is truthful? Where does the reality of the story end and the fiction begin? An awful lot is known publicly about the life and death of Che Guevara. But did he really stop off at Dublin Airport in 1964 and Shannon Airport in 1965? Is it possible that his words and actions during those stops altered so dramatically the course of the lives of characters in the book?
And there are as many, if not more, questions about the author. We know, because Cally Phillips tells us in the introduction to the book, that her lifelong interest in Che is something of an "obsession" (her word). Cally also tells us that the story is "personal" to some extent. But to what extent? The mother/daughter relationship between Mary and Roisin is so finely drawn you just know it must be based on reality. And the squats in London in the Sixties are so accurately described you feel she must have experienced that life as a child. The same goes for the London music scene in the Seventies. Then suddenly you find yourself wondering, even though you know it can't be possible, whether the author herself is the lovechild of Che Guevara.
See what I mean? Questions upon questions; riddles everywhere. It's a challenging book, to say the least. Not only is it cleverly conceived and constructed, it is also written in clear, unadorned prose. A must for thinking readers everywhere.
If you fit that bill, go to these links on Amazon to download the Kindle version or to order up a paperback copy.
This review was originally posted as part of the Reading Between the Lines Collective on Brendan's own site but I thought it appropriate to include here on my birthday since fact and fiction in identity are key feeatures of the story and of my life.
If you want to join in my 50th birthday celebrations, he best present you could give me would be to buy one of my books – failing that hop over to my site HERE and join in the 50 days of celebration currently underway.
