This past week I had a group of students to give The Studio's first 3D presentation ever. How cool?!
Given, it was old-school traditional 3D using classic red and blue plastic lenses, but the result was nothing short of very cool nonetheless. Without any prompting of my own, these students took it upon themselves to learn how to generate 3D images and animations for their product and their presentation. The day of the presentation was very cool too. All the students in the room received a pair of 3D glasses to watch the presentation with, and it might be the most attentive I've ever seen our sophomore group this year.
The product itself is a physical interactive timeline. (That's right. It's not digital. It exists to see and touch!) About the size of a traditional classroom bulletin board, the timeline is a combination of regular images and 3D images that are all tagged with QR (Quick Response) or AR (Augmented Reality) codes. (If you're unfamiliar with QR and AR codes, they are simply those square bar code-looking images that you see on advertisements that when scanned from a phone take you to more information.) Once scanned they either present a 3D augmented image or they take you to a webpage with research on the subject of the image. The result was something just plain cool, engaging, and interesting in almost every way. The students who constructed the project will present it, 3D presentation and all, to the community next Tuesday at the expo.
If you'd like, try scanning the code below and see what you get. If for any reason the code doesn't work for you, then you can always go here to see the vast amount of research they've done.

A giant talking penis is making comments wherever it goes and getting on the news right and left and some people are calling for it to finally be circumcised once and for all.
When it was president they tried to have it impeached but it wouldn't stick. Now that it isn't president it is still walking around flopping all over the place yacking about its favorite Commie Lesbian talking vagina.
The group calling for the circumcision is PETA. The Primary Erection Termination Association. If the members get their way, this will be the first time in history a member this big has been circumcised by PETA members.
Someone has already sent them an offer for the foreskin of $42,000. Artist Dick Ballsonchin plans to dry it, stretch it out, and paint a picture of Dick Cheney's lesbian daughter on it and sell it for a huge profit.

Employee Bravery: 10 Incredible Acts
"Courageous under fire" and "heroic act of bravery" are phrases usually used for describing law enforcement officers and military personnel, not the gas station clerk down the street or cashier at your local hardware store. Although many employers discourage staff from taking matters into their own hands during a robbery or other dangerous situation (they don't want anyone to get hurt) for some that's easier said than done.
Extraordinary circumstances sometimes make for the most amazing stories of courage from the most unlikely of places, as in this list of 10 incredible acts of employee bravery.
1. Fire rescue
Jorge Rivera, a Comcast employee on his way to an appointment in Maryland, used his truck and ladder to help pull six people from a burning apartment building after noticing smoke pouring from several windows and a woman leaning out the window with a small child. Firefighters soon arrived but said "there was little rescue to be done" thanks to Rivera's quick actions. Refusing lauds of heroism, Rivera commented, "It was nothing. I got two kids at home. If they were somewhere burning, what would you do?" before proceeding down the street to his scheduled appointment.
2. Hot coffee to the face
Chris Hegnes, the manager of a supply store in Crescent City, Calif., showed up to work early one morning and was surprised by a masked intruder rushing toward him with a hammer. Startled, Hegnes threw his hot coffee in the man's face and sent him running to a car parked out back. The intruder had apparently been trying to break into the store's safe, and although he escaped he did so empty-handed.
3. Glasgow Airport hero
John Smeaton, a baggage handler at Glasgow Airport in Scotland, became an instant Internet celebrity after bravely rushing forward to help police subdue a terrorist that was attempting to drive a flaming jeep into the airport terminal. "He went straight for the officer and started to attack him," Smeaton told the Associated Press after the incident. "I thought, 'You're not hitting the police mate, there's no chance.' We all tried to get a boot in at him and just try to subdue the guy."
4. Double-team tackle
Two employees at a Best Buy in the Denver area pursued and tackled a shoplifter, wrestling him to the ground. The criminal pulled out a knife, and after cutting one of the managers, escaped -- without his loot. The incident sparked controversy as the two employees were later fired for not following Best Buy's policy of not pursuing shoplifters.
5. Heroic hotel staffer
A hotel staff member at the Taj Mahal Hotel in Mumbai is responsible for saving the lives of several guests, including a family with small children, when several terrorist gunmen invaded the hotel and opened fire. The staff member, identified only as "Mr. Rajan," shielded the guests from a spray of bullets with his own body; it is unknown if he survived.
6. Liquor store chase
Liquor store employee Mr. Talbot gave chase after an armed robber pointed a gun at him, grabbed a handful of cash from the register, and bolted out the door. Mr Talbot pursued the robber out of the store and down the street before finally tackling him in a nearby alley and holding him there until police arrived. Talbot had no idea at the time, but it turned out the gun was fake.
7. Fast-food rescue
Nigel Haskett jumped to the rescue of a woman who was being abused by a man in the McDonald's restaurant where he worked in Little Rock, Ark. In the scuffle he was shot several times but survived, although there is ongoing controversy about who will pay his $300,000-plus in medical bills.
8. Pharmacy pursuit
One of the employees working in a CVS Pharmacy in Chicago chased after a shoplifter just after 11am on a Saturday morning, chasing him out of the store, running him down in a nearby alley and knocking him unconscious. The shoplifter was later pronounced dead (due to strangulation) but the Chicago Police Department ruled the death accidental and decided not to press charges against the employee.
9. Manchester martyr
A Hartsford Distributors employee in Manchester, Conn, sacrificed himself to save others when he spotted a gunman and warned others to run to safety. Although everyone he warned escaped, the hero himself was not so lucky as the gunman pursued him and shot him in the head, killing him.
10. Ticketing the police
Showing a different kind of bravery, a traffic warden in Liverpool, England took the stand that no one is above the law when he spotted a parked police car illegally blocking an alley. After noting the offense, he calmly walked up to the vehicle (presumably without the police officer inside) and slapped a parking ticket on the windshield. I wonder if it ever got paid?

Today is my "Friday" and I so can't wait to get home. We have a mission trip meeting tonight at 6 but it shouldn't be too long and there will be dinner too hehe. Then I'm off to the house to start laundry and whatever else I've been neglecting. Tomorrow will be a busy day with getting the oil changed on the car and more laundry and packing and cleaning. I always hate to leave the boys but I'm so happy and excited to see both mine and Justin's families for the holidays. I'm ready for some turkey hehe. My sister Erin is bringing two of her dogs with her that I haven't gotten a chance to meet yet. Hopefully they will let us sleep. Now if I could just make it through the rest of the work day.

almost there…
no bun in this oven
Hey guys! I just wanted to update you. No worries…there is no bun in this oven. Hopefully that won't be a problem for quite some time hehe. I guess I'm just a pig 😉 Nah…I've been a little better the past day or so, so I think it was just a hormonal thing 😉 gotta love hormones hehe.
Happy Friday everyone!
that's it! I officially declare myself as having a problem! It seems all I've been doing lately is eating and eating and never getting full. It wouldn't be so bad if I was eating veggies and fruits and necessary items. Noooo I have to eat chocolate and candy and cheese. What is up!?! I've been trying to brush it off as my "hibernating" munchies for the winter season. I don't know what it is but I hope it stops soon or it will be a long winter and I just might eat Justin and I out of house and home 😉 hehe
quick dreams
I had a few quick dreams last night/this morning. One of them I didn't remember until I heard Justin turn the shower water on this morning. I dreamt that Justin had taken a shower before me and I went to turn the water on and he had faced the shower head outwards and I got soaked. I also had a dream that there were 2 Apaches and 2 Pixels. I had to figure out which ones were the "bad" ones and get them out of the house. Each time I thought I had gotten the right ones out, they would run back in the door before I could get it closed. I feel like I had more dreams but for now I can't recall them. Any dream analysts out there that can interpret those? haha
Last night Justin and I went over to a fellow team member's house for our Mission trip meeting. We each brought a dish and had a great meal. The snickers pie was great too! Brad along with Russian friends: Mischa, Ina, and Irina were there. We all had a great time and we learned a few words in Russian. Don't ask me to spell them haha. I am so looking forward to going on this trip. I know that God will truly bless us and this mission and those that we will try to reach. Please continue to keep us in your prayers. Thank you so much for all your support.
a whole new POS system
Lately we've been working hard in the Bookstore. We are finally joining the rest of the world with some technology. This week we received a new POS system and now instead of pricing and depricing books and ringin them up manually, we don't have to price them and can SCAN them at the register! I'm so excited and I know my right hand is too especially knowing I won't have to write anymore vouchers!!! well…that is if IS can get their acts together and get things working. This means not so long lines, two registers that are fully functional to process credit cards, department charges, cash, checks, gift cards, and vouchers. Now if only the books would bag themselves haha. So, as you can see I've been busy with training for the POS system. It is soooooo user friendly. A bit too user friendly. I hope it will be a smooth transition. Also we've already received about 80% of our books for the Spring semester. They are all currently checked in and shelved. Just a little reorganizing is necessary.
People never cease to amaze me in their ignorance. Every semester I try my hardest to find new more obvious ways to keep people out of the book section. People just can't help but get so excited about Spring books so early. They just can't stay out. We can have hundreds of unpacked boxes everywhere and they will climb over them just to see if their book is here. They will even ask if we can find it for them in the boxes. This semester I got a bright orange posterboard and Erica wrote "DO NOT ENTER Books not available til Dec 1st"….what do you know…they walk right past it. We've even tried police tape, packing tape, boxes blocking the aisle ways, chairs, everything and they climb right through it. I just wish I could get an electric fence. That would be fun to watch haha.
Yesterday we were closed all day except from 12-1:30. Right on the outside of the door was a big sign that was at eye level telling the customers that. At 11:30 a woman just walked right in and was so confused when we told her we were closed. The door was closed and the sign was up. Crazy crazy people I tell you! Well…at least I felt smarter by the end of the day 😉 haha.
Everyone have a great day and a wonderful weekend!
Rascal Flatts Baby!
Well…today has been busy busy with about 300 boxes of books coming in and 45 middle schoolers. Erin stopped by on her way home to mom and dad's. I'm just about worn out BUT…tonight justin and i are Greenville bound (SC that is) to the Bi-Lo center to see my favorite band Rascal Flatts!!! I'm so excited!!! They have their new CD out so go get a copy. So far I haven't been disappointed with any of their CDs. I love EVERY song. Julie Roberts is set to open for them and Gary Alan was supposed to but cancelled due to the death of his wife. Have I mentioned we are sitting in ROW 17!!! I'm so excited! Mandy from work is going too! Maybe we will spot each other.
Once we finally get home we will have to get right to bed. Tomorrow is our church's auction at Pleasant Ridge. We are trying to raise money for our mission trip to Moscow. Everyone come if you can! You won't leave empty handed and there will be food! Wish us luck and for those of you that pray please pray for us and those that don't….please start!

Authorization Information
State Reciprocity
Saint Mary's University of Minnesota has been approved by the state of Minnesota to participate in the National Council for State Authorization Reciprocity Agreements (NC-SARA). NC-SARA is a voluntary, regional approach to state oversight of postsecondary distance education. As a SARA participant, Saint Mary's University of Minnesota is authorized to offer distance education to persons residing in other SARA-member states and districts.
SARA also covers certain educational activities that take place in other states, such as field or clinical experiences, practica, student teaching, and internships, as long as these experiences meet SARA criteria and do not trigger "physical presence" within a state. An overview of SARA's physical presence standard and criteria for on-the-ground experiences can be found in the SARA Manual.
Non-SARA States and Territories
An overview of Saint Mary's ability to offer online programs and other activities in states and territories that are not members of SARA is below.
- California: Saint Mary's may offer distance education programs to CA residents. Because Saint Mary's does not meet the definition of physical presence in CA, field/clinical experiences, practica, student teaching, and internships are allowed.
- Federated States of Micronesia: The Federated States of Micronesia (FSM) has no regulations, policies, or laws that restrict US institutions providing distance education, including online courses, to citizens of FSM.
- Republic of the Marshall Islands: There are no regulations or rules in the Republic of the Marshall Islands regarding the authorization of distance education programs.
Information is currently unavailable for the following: American Samoa, Guam, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, and the Republic of Palau. This site will be updated as information becomes available.
Professional Licensure Disclosure
Students considering an academic program as a pathway to professional licensure or certification in any field should be aware that:
- State reciprocity for distance education has no effect on professional licensing or certification requirements; and
- Only a very small number of Saint Mary's distance education programs are designed to prepare students to meet state or professional licensing or certification requirements. Saint Mary's University of Minnesota cannot confirm whether any of its programs will meet requirements for professional licensure or certification in your state if you live outside of Minnesota.
- It is your responsibility to contact the appropriate licensing agency in your state to determine requirements and ensure program compatibility prior to beginning any course of study.
The resources below may assist students with professional licensure or certification research. This list is not comprehensive and students are reminded that it is their responsibility to accurately research licensing or certification requirements for their state or profession.
Student Complaints
If you have a question, concern, or complaint about your online education experience, please consult Saint Mary's complaint process. If you are not satisfied with the outcome of the institutional process, you may bring your complaint to the Minnesota Office of Higher Education or to your own state higher education regulatory agency.
The Minnesota Office of Higher Education is the state portal entity for SARA and is required to accept all out-of-state student complaints for Minnesota private schools and career colleges. Complaints may be made to:
Betsy Talbot
Minnesota Office of Higher Education
1450 Energy Park Drive, Suite 350
Saint Paul, MN 55108
Bureau for Private Postsecondary Education
2535 Capitol Oaks Drive, Suite 400

The 2017 Supercars season will come to an end this weekend at the highly anticipated Newcastle 500. Taking place on a brand new picturesque street circuit in Newcastle's east end, the course snakes its way through the tight CBD streets before flowing along the spectacular Shortland Esplanade.
After a podium at Pukekohe ENZED sponsored Cam Waters enters the final round placed comfortably inside the top 10 in 7th position. In his second year in the championship, Waters has placed his PRA FGX Falcon consistently towards the front of the pack on his way to claiming a race win, one of only 7 primary drivers to do so in 2017 so far.
The inaugural Newcastle 500 kicks off at 12:10pm Friday, when the Supercars will hit the track for first practice.

25 (+1) Steve Webb
Work & pensions spokesman
Deeply cerebral, Webb was tipped as a possible leadership candidate, but decided instead to back Nick Clegg. He made his reputations as a pensions and social security expert, but when he moved to the environment brief he almost disappeared from public view. Since his return to the work & pensions brief he has appeared more at home. Heavily into new media and blogging, Webb is seen very much as following the Simon Hughes tradition of grassroots political campaigning.
24 (-12) Norman Baker
Transport spokesman
The maverick's maverick, Baker is seen as an obsessive, even by his party colleagues. He recently published a book asserting that Dr David Kelly was murdered. He's viewed as the very antithesis of a team player, but is an effective media operator despite his less than matinee idol looks. Some think he is getting a reputation as a rent-a-quote, a reputation which was burnished during the MPs' expenses scandal when he seemed to have a view on every case of misdoing. He is said to be very unpopular with MPs, including those on his own side.
23 (-15) Simon Hughes
Energy & climate change spokesman
After twenty years as a leading player in Lib Dem politics – often described as the best leader they never had - Hughes's star is now very much on the wane. In various leadership contests he was always the bridesmaid but never the bride. A party man to his core, Hughes never really acquired the aura of gravitas which leadership requires. His popularity within the party, however, remains undiminished. He has failed to make an impact in his new job as energy & climate change spokesman and can't resist popping up on the media speaking about issues other than his own policy area.
22 (+1) Lord Shutt
Lib Dem Chief Whip in the House of Lords
A Life Peer since 2000, David Shutt figures prominently on this list not just because of his role as chief whip in the Lords. He is also chairman of the Joseph Rowntree Reform Trust, which has become a large provider of funds to the Lib Dems in recent years, to the tune of several millions of pounds. This means that in the year of a general election his influence becomes all the greater.
21 (+7) Lynne Featherstone
Equality & youth spokesman
Feisty and telegenic, Lynne Featherstone was a leading cheerleader for Chris Huhne and as a consequence has been somewhat sidelined by Nick Clegg. She is one of the Lib Dems' foremost bloggers and a doughty constituency campaigner, having overturned a Labour majority of more than 10,000. She was appointed last year to chair the party's technology board and is a firm advocate of the advantages of new media campaigning. In a party with comparatively few leading women, she deserves more prominence.
20 (+2) Paul Burstow
Chief Whip
Burstow spent two years as Lib Dem health spokesman but was dropped by Charles Kennedy after the 2005 election. A year later he was elected Chief Whip by Lib Dems MPs following Ming Campbell's election as Lib Dem leader. He has established a reputation for firmness in a party where whipping is considered as difficult as herding cats.
19 (-6) Charles Kennedy
Leader of the Lib Dems 1999-2006
The Lib Dems are still suffering from a collective guilt complex for what happened to Charles Kennedy. Their reputation as the 'nice' party disappeared in one fell swoop. Kennedy has adopted a low profile but is gradually adopting the mantle of 'wise old sage'. He's quick to defend himself if anyone criticises his period as leader by reminding them of the electoral successes the party enjoyed under his stewardship. Any return to the front bench now seems unlikely.
18 (+7) Duncan Brack
Chair, Conference Committee
Former Lib Dem policy director Brack is one of the few Lib Dems who everybody seems not only to like but also to respect. He was for a number of years a senior policy director at Chatham House and more recently was behind the Reinventing the State book, which challenged the more liberal economic position of the Orange Book crowd. His position as chair of the Lib Dem Conference Committee means he exerts huge power, due to its policymaking role. He edits the Journal of Liberal History. Is tipped to become a Lib Dem peer after the election.
17 (+4) Anthony Lester
Lib Dem peer
The co-founder of the anti discrimination think tank the Runnymede Trust, Lord Lester was also known as a close acolyte of Roy Jenkins. He joined Gordon Brown's Government of All the Talents as an adviser on constitutional reform. He is better known as a human rights lawyer than a Liberal Democrat.
16 (NEW) Richard Allan
The former MP for Sheffield Hallam, who stood down from Westminster in 2005, enjoys Clegg's ear and has been a constant source of advice and support throughout his leadership. Previously at Cisco and now working for Facebook, Allan is not expected to play any formal advisory role between now and the election but is said to speak to Clegg several times a week. He was appointed by the government to take part in a review of government IT.
15 (-4) Baroness Williams
Former Leader of the Lib Dems in the House of Lords
Although she no longer holds an official position, Shirley Williams is seen as the Grandmother of the Liberal Democrats. She exerts huge influence on Lib Dem peers, which was amply demonstrated in their stance on the Lisbon Treaty, which ran counter to that of the party leadership. After Nick Clegg and Charles Kennedy she is probably the Lib Dems' most recognised face on TV. Her recently published memoirs will give her further media prominence.
14 (+2) Evan Harris
Lib Dem MP for Oxford West & Abingdon
One of the doughtiest Lib Dem campaigners, Harris is an inveterate 'taker-upper' of causes, the latest being the pro-abortion campaign. Strangely for a Lib Dem, he is also a powerful advocate of animal experimentation. Another Lib Dem who finds the concept of collective responsibility a strange one, he returned to the Lib Dem front bench in 2005 after a two year period caring for his very ill girlfriend. He is the party's spokesman on science, but ought to given a more prominent campaigning role.
13 (+20) Tavish Scott
Leader, Scottish Liberal Democrats
Scott was elected leader of the Scottish Lib Dems a year ago and faces an uphill struggle to make the party's voice heard north of the border. He served in the Lab/Lib Scottish Executive as minister for transport prior to May 2007. A confident media performer he is very much a 'steady as she goes' man.
12 (27) Polly MacKenzie
Chief political adviser to Nick Clegg
One of the Lib Dems' brightest young talents, Polly Mackenzie was Clegg's chief of staff when he was Home Affairs spokesman and resigned her post to be part of his leadership campaign team. She has great influence over policy and writes most of Nick Clegg's important speeches. Party bigwigs are encouraging her to stand for Parliament.
11 (NEW) Lord Oakeshott
Spokesman for the Treasury, and Work and Pensions
A close ally of Chris Huhne, Lord Oakeshott is an economist by training, having once worked for the Kenyan Ministry of Finance and Economic Planning. Professionally, he now invests in commercial property for pension funds, charities and investment trusts. He was a special adviser to the late Roy Jenkins between 1972-76, and also had a stint as a city councillor in Oxford before becoming a peer in 2000. He is the Lords' equivalent of Norman Baker and always has an eye for a headline. He is easily the most omnipresent Lib Dem peer in the media. Although perhaps that is not saying much.
10 (-5) Paddy Ashdown
Leader of the Lib Dems 1988-1999
It was Ashdown who led the Lib Dems to an electoral breakthrough in 1997 and for that reason alone he is revered by Lib Dems. He remains influential and was even rumoured to be thinking about seeking the Party's presidency. His sojourns in Bosnia and Kosovo mean he's the only leading Lib Dem to have actually run a country since the days of Lloyd George, and for that reason alone he deserves his high ranking. Nowadays, he is quite active in the House of Lords, a chamber he is said to loathe. His memoirs, published in April, were well reviewed.
9 (+4) Tom McNally
Leader of the Lib Dems in the House of Lords
A genial figure, Lord McNally started political life as head of James Callaghan's political office. Elected to the Commons in 1979 he defected to the SDP two years later. He was one of the key players in the overthrow of Charles Kennedy. He was elected leader of Lib Dem peers unopposed, succeeding Shirley Williams in 2004. He has overseen a quiet rise in the influence of Lib Dem peers within the party.
8 (+41) John Sharkey
Strategic advisor to Nick Clegg
John Sharkey was part of the Saatchi & Saatchi team which advised Margaret Thatcher during the 1987 general election campaign. He is very much a man who acts in the shadows, but is important enough to have an 'in tray' in the Leader's office. He's tasked with advising Clegg on how to break the two party stranglehold – so far to little effect. He rose to become joint Managing Director of Saatchi & Saatchi with special responsibility for the Turkish government's preparation of its case for entry into the European Union. His role has now been formalised and he will be a key player in the months leading up to the general election.
7 (NEW) Baroness Scott
Liberal Democrat president
Elected as party president in late 2008 with a substantial majority, Baroness Scott also had the support of a large number of the party's big-hitters. With many years' experience working in local government, Scott is also a vice-president of the LGA, and pledged to ensure that the party remained 'a genuinely grass-roots movement'. Her campaign for the presidency was a model of grass roots activity and she is pledges to represent the ordinary party member at the top of the party.
6 (+1) David Laws
Spokesman on children, schools & families
Probably the most right-wing Lib Dem MP in the Commons, he was the architect of the so-called Orange Book agenda, which encouraged the Lib Dems to adopt a low tax policy and free market solutions. Unpopular with the beard and sandals brigade at the time, Laws has won the day. A shy and private man, Laws is the David Willetts of the Liberal Democrats, with enough intelligence to fill two brains.
5 (+4) Danny Alexander
Chief of staff to Nick Clegg
Although a little vapid and bromidic in media appearances and on the stump, Alexander wields a huge amount of power behind closed doors – enjoying significant influence over Clegg and his inner circle. He has also started to gain a media presence and may well become one of the party's faces of the future if he has a successful general election. He is in charge of the party's manifesto preparations.
4 (New) Chris Fox
Chief Executive
The newly appointed Chief Executive is shaking up Cowley Street. He has overseen dramatic personnel changes in his few months in post and is taking a particularly close interest in the party's online profile. His charm and humour belie a steely determination to reform the party. With 30 years' experience in the private sector he brings a level of corporate savvy which the party has long been in need of.
3 (-) Chris Huhne
Home affairs spokesman
Urbane, charming and just a bit monochrome, Chris Huhne knows he has power and he wields it. Surprisingly poorly backed by his own MPs in the party's leadership contest, which he lost to Clegg, Huhne is as intellectually formidable as he is ambitious.
2 (-1) Nick Clegg
Leader of the Liberal Democrats
Nick Clegg has had a good year. The expenses scandal saw him really come into his own for the first time, and the party's poll ratings enjoyed a brief bounce. An ill-advised and indiscreet conversation with aide Danny Alexander MP, on a domestic flight, overheard by a journalist hardly made Clegg appear statesmanlike – something he is still yet to cultivate – but the past six months have been gaffe-free and people around the leader say the last year has seen him grow hugely in confidence.
1 (+1) Vince Cable
Lib Dem Treasury spokesman
Cable remains the most respected Lib Dem politician in the country – not just in his own party, either. If anything happened to Clegg, he would surely be elected by acclamation. Clegg, for his part, has encouraged Cable's rising profile, as the bee-keeper-cum-dancer has proven time and time again he is the most effective person in the Commons at landing the most damaging blows on the Chancellor and the PM. For this reason he trumps his own leader as the party's most influential voice.

Potash Updates
From KXRO Radio:
According to BHP, they are valuing the proposed project at around $440 million in investment. Based on those calculations, the fee would sit at $445,000.
"BHP understands the fee is calculated starting with a base, $7,000 for the first $2 million, with an incremental $1,000 increase for each $1 million of project value over $2 million with no upper limit."
From The Daily World:
"Shay said in his talks with BHP, the company said the $440 million total listed in the permit application included project costs that should not have been used in the permit application. Shay said BHP plans to get him something in writing requesting that the city consider a lower project cost for the permit evaluation.
"We expect to receive payment for the outside permit review by Oct. 17," said Shay. "Once this happens, we will begin review of the application as their request to modify our fee structure is considered by the City Council."

text: hi all.. I'm having trouble with ffmpeg doing an RTSP stream from an Axis 213 camera. I've been playing around with the source code trying to fix it myself, but I think I'm finally stuck. The problem: ffplay can connect to this camera and displays video perfectly for exactly 1 minute. After 1 minute it hangs. Test platforms: Linux 2.6.14-gentoo-r2 AMD 64 Darwin 7.x - Pentium 4 When playing the video using mplayer, it works perfectly. I realize mplayer has different RTSP code so I did a TCP dump to try and figure out what's wrong. It looks like there are RTCP packets that get sent back and forth between mplayer and the camera. The camera sends 60 bytes every 3 seconds or so and mplayer sends 56 bytes. When connecting with ffmpeg the camera sends 60 bytes, but ffmpeg doesn't send the 56 bytes back.

Thanks! /mike

Eleven lucky girls from an under-16 football team will enjoy a top trip to watch Sir Bobby's boys play against Barcelona next week.
The youngsters, all pupils of the Queen Elizabeth High School, in Hexham, Northumberland, have been selected to take part in the pre-match ceremony.
This involves waving the UEFA Star Ball banner on the pitch before kick-off. They will also receive complimentary match tickets to watch their heroes in action.
The search for the children was run in conjunction with Metro Radio and Ford's Destination Football programme.
Team manager Matty Hayton, who won the competition on the Brian Moore Breakfast Show, said: "It's a real money-can't-buy experience and it's something they are going to remember for the rest of their lives."
They will be driven to the match in a Ford Transit Minibus supplied by Patterson Ford.
The 11 girls are Jess Armstrong, Lucy Burton, Sammy Butler, Jenny Handyside, Joanne Herbertson, Emily Logmanay, Ruth McShane, Helen Oakley, Frankie Rawson, Hannah Shields and Betz Williams.

Testosterone is a male hormone which the body produces naturally however as one reaches the age of forty, testosterone level declines. Testosterone increases sex libido among men in addition to maintaining muscle mass in the body and enhance formation of bones. Other functions include improving oxygen levels and controlling blood glucose throughout the body. It also strengthens the body's immune system. At the age of 40 when levels of testosterone begin to diminish in men, the levels of the by-product prolactin of testosterone in men increases and stimulates the production of the enzyme 5-alpha reductase which results to the conversion of testosterone to gihydro-testosterones DHT and this triggers low testosterone levels.
About Obesity
Most obese men suffer from high levels of estrogen and estradiol since the male hormones are converted into estrogen as the fat cells synthesize the aromatase enzyme. Based on a study, fat tissues have proven to aromatize testosterone leading to an increase of estrogen.
Obesity as Caused by Testosterone Deficiency
The production of aromatize enzyme in fat cells and the intake of saturated fat are the usual reasons of testosterone deficiency.
- Aging – as a person reaches the age of 40 he has hard time losing weight due to the fact that his prolactin level gets high and this condition stimulates the conversion of dihydro-testosterone resulting in increased levels of estrogen whch can lead to the snlargement of prostate and abdominal fat among men.
- Insulin Resistance – a low level of testosterone increases insulin in the bloodstream which reduces glucose. Hypoglycemia can lead to constant craving for sugar. Because of too much insulin release of fat is prevented which might result to fat build up and obesity.
- DHEA deficiency – dehydroepiandrosterone is a substance produced by the adrenal gland and is the precursor of estrogen and testosterone. Deficiency of DHEA can lead to fatigue, poor memory, fat build up and affects overall body functions.
- Aromatase – this is an enzyme that aromatizes androgen and produce estrogen. Aging people produce greater amounts of aromatase enzyme which causes the conversion of testosterone into estrogen which lead to testosterone deficiency and obesity.
- Vitamins and minerals deficiency – these two are natural aromatase enzyme inhibitors that hinders the conversion of testosterone into estrogen.
Symptoms of Obesity as Caused by Testosterone Deficiency
- Reduced sexual function
- Loss of muscle mass
- Loss of bone density
- Craving for sugars
- Loss of memory
- Poor concentration
- Overweight and abdominal fat
Prevention and Treatment
There are different natural remedies that can help increase testosterone and help lose weight like foods, nutritional supplements and some herbs.
- Eggs – one egg a day can help increase production of testosterone.
- Cold water fish – contains vitamin A and zinc which helps bind sex hormones especially testosterone and estradiol.
- Yohimbe – helps increase testosterone levels and reduce appetite.
- Saw Palmetto – helps with estrogen and estrogen receptor activity that can lead to a healthy hormone balance which enhance sexual desire among men.
- Tongkat Ali – helps increase testosterone by stimulating the leydig cells of the testicles so that it will produce more testosterone.
- Reishi – helps protect the liver from toxins and at the same time protects the lungs from pollutants thus eliminate the surplus of estrogen and sex hormone binding globulin and assisting the release of HGH.
- Horny Goat Weed – helps treat low levels of testosterone and increases sexual desire as well.
- Garlic – this is a stimulant that helps increase men's libido by promoting sex hormone production in the pituitary gland.
Natural Supplements
- Zinc and Iron – promote healthy prostate glands that increase the release of prostate fluids which helps stimulate sexual desire by increasing the production levels of free testosterone.
- Choromium picolinate – it stabilizes blood glucose levels and stops craving for sweets, helps increase lean body and reduce insulin resistance too.
- DHEA – allows the body to produce testosterone.
- L-carnitin – takes out the fatty acids inside the cells and burns them up.

Approaching the Solstice Celestial Alignment (December, 2007)
(image created using Starry Night software www.starrynight.com)
Winter Solstice 2007
The Sun, Mercury, Jupiter and Pluto conjoin--just as Pluto aligns with the Galactic Center for the first time in 250 years. All this coinciding with Winter Solstice; the Sun's southern solstice is currently closely aligned with the Galactic Equator and within a short few degrees of it's closest approach to the Galactic Center. The importance of this event is great--perhaps the most significant celestial event of the new century.
Also closely aligned with the Winter Solstice, the Full Moon will conjunct Mars on December 23. Mars is currently nearly exactly opposite the Sun. The Sun-Mars opposition is exact December 24 at 11:47 a.m., Pacific time. This part of the celestial event offers a beautiful view of Mars and the Moon forming a large pentagon with some of the brightest stars in the sky (see depiction above).
Blessings for your Solstice Journey!
Here's a gorgeous close up shot of the Moon and Mars in the pentagramic alignment - Something strange was in the air on that evening for sure!
Comet 17P Holmes - It's reaction to a plume of photonic energy emanating from the galactic center.
The Jaguar is stalking - Soon to be followed by Quetzalcoatl ("feathered snake" or "plumed serpent")

To raid or not to raid - Can I be casual?
"Why not come back to WoW?" I asked. "Even if you don't have a lot of time for it anymore, you could just play it a little now and then".
His answer surprised me;
"I just can't play WoW a little".
He is not the first person to say this to me, and I used to have difficulty understanding how people had trouble simply cutting down, or changing their gaming habits to suit their irl-needs. If you can't raid, just don't. Right?
But then I realized, I myself was struggling to get comfortable in the "casual" (whatever that means) role - is playing WoW just a little impossible? Or is changing your gaming habits that which is difficult?
As you may or may not know, I too have for various reasons needed to cut down heavily on my gaming. Not necessarily the hours I put into the game, that is still quite a lot in every day standards (albeit a lot less than what I used to play, don't tell my relatives). What's changed is not the how much, but rather the when - most importantly my raiding has been heavily impaired by the fact that I work so many more evening and night shifts than I used to. Raiding three times a week is out of the question, if I manage to sign once a week I consider myself lucky.
For someone who has raided pretty steadily at two or three times a week basis since early BC, this has come as a pretty big change in my gaming habits. I used to consider myself a raider, someone who, although far from top of the line, definitely put a lot of time and effort into being the best I could be for my raid group. I couldn't begin to describe how much fun and frustration I've felt during these years, as any of you who raid surely know all about. Most, if not almost all of that, has gone from my gaming now, leaving leveling alts mostly.
See, I could do dailies on my main of course, but since I hate doing dailies in the first place, I am even less motivated to do them when the chances of me getting into some proper raiding are so slim - meaning all that grinding rep for gear just seems close to meaningless to me.
Leveling alts is not a bad thing at all, in all honesty that is probably what I spent 70% of my gaming time doing while I was a raider anyway. But those 30% of raiding might've just been 30% of my time spent, but probably 80%+ of what I identified my WoW-gaming with. I was a raider, everything else was just peripheral stuff that I did to support my raiding. I love my alts, but a major reason for me to level any of them was to have all professions at my disposal and also other characters if needed for the raid groups.
I've been forced to cut away what probably was the most important thing to me in the game, I have been forced to reduce my gaming to logging on to an alt every now and then and do some dungeons or quests, knowing that I will never really get to feel like a proper raider again in the forseeable future.
And this is no ones fault, things like these happen. I am lucky enough to be in a very lenient guild, allowing me to sign whenever and as little/often as I can, and they bring me if they happen to need an extra healer that run. This has allowed me to do exactly one evening of raiding since the release of MoP, which is definitely far from my old self where I used to be in the number one group, leveling and gearing up together so that we could jump into raiding as soon as possible. I didn't even have to wonder if I was going to be picked and I was annoyed at the raiders that didn't take it as serious as me. Now I am not even sitting on the sideline, I am one of the spectators, watching as everyone else do what I once did.
I'm not even sure if I am supposed to be bitter over it. In a way I can't be, since there is nothing or no one to blame for the situation. In a way I can even feel like I am really done with three-times-a-week raiding anyway. Just thinking about the sacrifices I have done, the time I've spent raiding... I loved it then, but I don't actually want to go back to that, so what is the problem?
I am still having fun in WoW, I enjoy logging on every now and then and just do some dungeon on an alt, log off and do something else. I love the fact that I can read about how aggravated people get regarding the dailies issue, and just shrug about it. It doesn't affect me anymore! I hate the feeling when I actually do sign for a raid and I can't really decide whether I want them to pick me or whether I'd be really relieved if they didn't.
Yet I can't, I just can't help, but feeling like I am really missing out. Like there is not even a point to playing WoW unless you do endgame of some sort, like raiding or pvp. I level my mage and I think "why waste my time, because there will be nothing, nothing, for me to do once I hit max level. Just turn around, grab another alt and do it all over again. And why? For what?". It is a creeping bitterness that I am almost ashamed off, feeling like a washed up has-been trying to be cool like the new kids on the block and failing miserably.
Eventhough I was way less geared than the other healers in the group, and had never done the fight let alone raided this expansion, I did very well during that one raid. I held on par with the best in the group, just laying some percent after the one on top. It made me remember all the theory crafting I used to do back in the day, and I immediately went into it again, analyzing logs, differences in gear, spec and stat choices, pondering whether I should reforge into this and that or choose this or that talent instead, reading on blogs for more information and... realizing it didn't really matter to me anymore.
But I still had it in me, I still knew how to do this. And like a reflex, monkey-brain if you like, I just wanted to go back to how things were. Jump back onto the band-wagon and pretend nothing had changed. Except I don't want to. Or do I?
In the end the question isn't whether I am having fun in WoW or not, I am definitely having fun. The question is whether I can get comfortable in my new wow-persona, and that is a lot more difficult to answer. As it is now, I simply don't have a choice so I might as well start liking it.

Hey Zinn, sorry to hear about your raiding issues. I think it getting to be quite common these days, as a few people in our guild are facing similar issues.ReplyDelete
Hope you get things sorted out soon and get through the turmoil in one piece.
I've been having a slight internal debate. I can't raid, at least not properly because I'm too busy at work to commit a hardcore or semi hardcore guild and my previous attempts at a more casual guild didn't work out too well for anyone concerned.ReplyDelete
Now I log in, pet battle, explore, pvp and do the odd bit of pvp content. I'm definitely having fun but I do miss raiding a lot.
I think as an adult there are so many things in real life thats needed to be done lol... I am am mother, 3-4 kids (4th is not my bio lol) and then work, clean and all that crap.ReplyDelete
So when do we play.... I like putting things into rutines... like kids in bed at 19.00 and then i can play to 23.00 lol My times. =)
But ofc... all the things you can do in wow... which do you pick for your own times? thats the question. what's most important?
Everything lol
Just stumbled upon this article, and it really hit home for me.ReplyDelete
In Cata, I was at the top of my game raid-wise. My guild cleared Heroic Firelands and Heroic Dragon Soul, ending up at realm 3rd overall. I was the top parsing rogue on the entire server, and I was genuinely enjoying raiding.
Once my guild hit MoP though, everything kind of fell apart. My guild leader didn't put in the proper effort to find new recruits to fill key positions that had become vacant after we cleared H DS. As a result, we headed into MoP with a weak roster, and I was healing instead of dominating the DPS meters on my beloved rogue. Our guild ended up clearing Vaults, but we got stuck on normal mode bosses in Heart of Fear.
The fact that we couldn't down normal modes was extremely taxing on the guild members, like myself, that had breezed through normal modes in Cata. I wanted to get through them, so we could start doing Heroics, where, in my opinion, the true challenge lied. 50+ wipes on the second boss in HoF, and my guild called it quits.
I now found myself in an awkward predicament where I was happy to be free of the drama and frustration, but at the same time still feeling the itch to raid. I got my girlfriend into playing WoW, and she's helped me become reacquainted with being a casual and enjoying it. However, I occasionally get the feeling like I want more. To go from being the top parsing rogue on the server, to doing pet battles and achievements...
I'm still struggling with whether I should raid or not. I will find myself pouring over my server's forums, looking at guilds that are recruiting. At the same time, I'm reminding myself that I don't want the stress that comes along with raiding hard modes. Maybe I can learn to just be a casual, play with my girlfriend, and be happy; but I don't want to feel like the has-been dragon slaying hero, who is now washed up and only does things that he would have previously thought were beneath him.
I know this is an old post, but it really spoke to me. And I'm sorry if I have ranted a bit, but I've been looking to get this off my chest, and this post really got me thinking. Thanks.Replies
I love your comment, you pretty much sum up what I try to say in my post. As for myself, I'm actually pretty happy with my current situation. I raid maybe once every two weeks, my guild is fairly good (no heroic modes, but at least cleared most things on normal 10+25) so I do get some action once I do get to raid. otherwise I log on every other day to do some instances on alts, and I don't do much more than that in WoW right now. I had a short period where I loved doing dailies on my main (who'd have guessed?) but that has died out again.Delete
So while I'm not playing WoW I've finally managed to do something I've been wanting to do for years, put proper time into all the other games that are out there. Currently I am having fun playing Kotor2, MtG, playing through the RE series, Pokemon and I've got Skyrim ready and waiting for me.
Getting to this point was very uncomfortable for me in the beginning. I loved my raiding and myself as a raider, but I had to realize those days were probably gone, and try to see what good could come out of it. I think I managed to do that and I hope you will too :)
The bright side is that, much like you, I can finally sit down to play other games. My friends are right in saying that when you play WoW seriously, it takes up all your gaming time. It is nice to be able to fire up a different game, and not have to worry about valor capping, getting every single one of my dallies, etc.Delete
Perhaps, I can begin to work through the giant backlog of steam games I have bought on sale, but have not got around to playing. There is a silver lining to every situation. Thanks for the response.

Do Photoshop and 64-bit Windows mix?
I recently got an e-mail from a friend asking if Adobe's Creative Suite 3 is compatible with a 64-bit Windows operating system, and if there would be any performance advantage. The short answers are "yes" and "potentially".
Adobe does not have a 64-bit version of CS3, so running on a 64-bit processor won't in itself give programs like Photoshop any innate speed boost. The advantage is that 64-bit operating systems can recognize memory beyond the 2 GB limit (or 3 GB, if you have the right hardware and Windows XP tweak) of 32-bit editions.
According to Adobe, Photoshop itself is unable to use more than 3 GB of RAM, but having more than that set aside for Photoshop can still give you a speed boost. If you have 4 GB of RAM available, many Photoshop plug-ins will use the 3-4 GB slot for their needs, freeing up more of the initial 3 GB for Photoshop itself. Beyond that, the OS will use up to an additional 2 GB for Photoshop's scratch disk data, which drastically increases performance over using a hard drive like it does normally. Windows will of course need a decent amount of RAM to work with, and the more it has the quicker it will be able to respond to Photoshop when large images are being processed, so having a computer with 8 GB or more is still beneficial to Photoshop.
However, while Photoshop may be a happier camper with a 64-bit OS, older hardware drivers and applications (e.g., scanner drivers and monitor calibration software) may not work on Windows XP x64 Edition and Windows Vista 64-bit, and should be checked for compatibility before you make the switch.

I mean you can look at the UNCENSORED album cover and get a feel for what Kanye West is coming with this time. The album is a brand new look and is FIRE. The eye candy in the POWER and Runaway video is like from another world or something.
I know rappers are scratching their heads like, "What are we going to do now?". BUY THIS ALBUM A MUST HAVE FOR YOUR COLLECTION.

The anonymous artistic group, Luzinterruptus returned to Campo de la Cebada in May to create this interactive installation, Prophylactic rain that doesn't wet anything.
In an area previously converted from a neighborhood square, to a public swimming pool and one which is now to be turned into a luxury and leisure market, reducing the sports facilities from the local residents, the intention of Luzinterruptus was to "leave a little lighted water in memory of former uses".
Getting the community involved, they set about filling 800 condoms with blue coloured water and the effect is one of extreme beauty – and good fun!

Sigrún Thorlacius is a recent graduate of the product design programme, Iceland Academy of the Arts. Her final project is Healing Earth. The project explores the use of fungi in converting contaminated, toxic land into viable ecosystems.
According to Thorlacius,
There are species in the fungus kingdom that in unison are able to break down all major toxins that threaten life on Earth. On their menu are chemicals, persistent organic pollutants, oils, radioactive compounds and even plastic. By doing this, fungi can start a chain reaction of toxin degradation, which otherwise would accumulate in the environment with unpredictable consequences.
Most trees live in harmony with mycelium. By growing tree cuttings and infecting their root system with preferred species of fungi before planting, it is possible to affect the type of mycelium that is dominant at a particular area. At places where there is need to filter toxins from flowing water it is possible to make a permeable membrane with optimal mycelium.
The project aims at preventing toxins from accessing the ecosystem as well as cleaning up and recover damaged land.
This is our third annual round-up of the final project by graduates from the Iceland Academy of the Arts, showcasing the brand new Icelandic design talent. For all previous posts in The Graduates category, see here.

Maternal and neonatal health
In most countries, infant mortality has declined in recent decades. However, maternal and neonatal mortality generally has not undergone changes.
Infant mortality encompasses almost 40 percent of the estimated 9.7 million deaths of children under five and almost 60 percent of deaths during the neonatal period. This means that newborns are 500 times more likely to die during the first day of life than during their first month. The highest absolute number of newborn deaths occurs in South Asia – India contributes a quarter of the world total – but the highest national rates of neonatal mortality occur in sub-Saharan Africa.
A common factor in these deaths is the health of the mother. Each year, more than half a million women die annually due to complications of pregnancy and childbirth. Babies whose mothers have died during childbirth have a much greater chance of dying in their first year than those whose mothers remain alive. 99% of cases of maternal and newborn mortality occur in the developing world, where more than 50% of women still give birth without the assistance of trained health workers. It is a revealing example of inequality in terms of access to good quality health care.
80% of maternal deaths are due to direct obstetric causes, such as hemorrhages, infections, hypertension problems during pregnancy and complications of abortions performed in unsanitary conditions. For every woman who dies due to complications in childbirth, another 20 suffer injuries, infections or disabilities that are ignored or not treated, and are usually the cause of chronic pain, or social and economic exclusion for life.
In general, these are complications that cannot be foreseen or prevented. All pregnant women are at risk of complications during pregnancy, delivery and postpartum. However, women and families can learn to avoid unplanned pregnancies, and if women become pregnant, they can learn about the importance of prenatal care, symptoms and danger signs, planning consultations emergency medical staff and the choice of safe methods of delivery. When problems arise but patients are referred to the appropriate health services, complications can be treated in health facilities that have adequate equipment, supplies, and medicines and sufficiently trained health personnel.
Improving the health and nutrition of future mothers and providing quality reproductive Social Security is essential to address many of the underlying causes of infant mortality.
Because almost half of all newborn deaths occur within 24 hours after delivery, since almost 75% of them occur in the first week after delivery, strategies should focus on the comprehensive and continued provision of health care. This is an approach that includes increasing access to prenatal care during pregnancy, improving the management of normal deliveries by trained midwives, access to emergency obstetric and neonatal care if necessary, and Timely attention of mother and newborn. In addition to strengthening the links between the various levels of care in health facilities,
The myth should not be accepted that the only way to pay attention to sick newborns is to treat them in high-cost neonatal health care hospital units. There is evidence that it is possible to greatly reduce the mortality and morbidity of newborns by implementing simple and low-cost interventions in health facilities and homes during birth and in the days and weeks after delivery when the mother and son are most threatened. These fundamental practices include drying the newborn and taking care not to cool down, starting to breastfeed as soon as possible immediately after delivery and supporting the mother so that she can exclusively breastfeed her child,
For the most part, these are health care practices that families can do on their own, or with the help of a community health worker. This could participate in the delivery taking care of the newborn, or visit the mother and the child in the first 24 hours after delivery, in addition to one or two more times during the first week. That is a fundamental aspect because more than 50% of newborn deaths occur at home since in many countries the long-term goal of preparing a sufficient number of midwives will not become a reality for many years. trained to attend births.
Over the past decade, UNICEF has adopted a holistic, rights-based approach to maternal health. With that perspective, UNICEF works to enhance the role of women, prevent the adolescent marriage, promote girls' education, eliminate female genital mutilation/excision and support the development of adolescent life skills. UNICEF supports the improvement of prenatal health care (through vaccination against tetanus, the distribution of insecticide-treated bed nets, intermittent preventive treatment of the newborn and nutrition); Prevention of HIV transmission from mother to child, and increased women's access to HIV treatments. In line with the needs of each country, UNICEF also supports the preparation of trained midwives,
Recent research released by Lancet Series (in English) on the survival of children (2003), the survival of newborns (2005) and the survival of mothers (2006), as well as on reproductive health (2006), indicate that through All interventions of a magnitude in accordance with the severity of the problem can reduce maternal and newborn mortality rates substantially. In some cases, and especially when it comes to saving the lives of mothers, such interventions must be implemented in basic or integral emergency obstetric care facilities. Many others, on the other hand, and especially when they are aimed at the care of newborns, although not excluding mothers, may be left in charge of community health workers or itinerant nurses.
Global alliances and initiatives
In collaboration with governments and their partners, UNICEF can assist in the development and development of home-based maternal and newborn care programs that are based on successful work models of community health workers or women's groups of communities, while health facilities and links between communities and hospitals providing emergency care are strengthened. At the national level, the realization of these objectives may require different approaches whose characteristics will depend on the needs and realities of each country.

What are the medical consequences of tobacco use?
Smoking kills more than 440,000 American citizens every year, more than the combined total of alcohol deaths, illegal drug use, homicides, suicides, car accidents, and AIDS. Between 1964 and 2004, more than 12 million Americans died prematurely from smoking and it is almost certain that, of current smokers in the United States, another 25 million will die of smoking-related illnesses.
The habit of smoking harms almost all the organs of the body. It has been definitely linked to cataracts and pneumonia (pneumonia) and causes a third of the deaths related to any type of cancer. In general, the death rate from cancer doubles in smokers and becomes up to four times more in heavy smokers. Lung cancer tops the list of types of cancer caused by tobacco. Cigarette use is associated with 90 percent of all cases of lung cancer, cancer that causes the most deaths among both men and women. Smoking is also associated with cancer of the mouth, pharynx, larynx, esophagus, stomach, pancreas, cervix, kidneys, urethra, bladder, and acute myeloid leukemia.
In addition to cancer, the use of cigarettes causes lung diseases such as chronic bronchitis and emphysema and it is also known to make asthma symptoms worse in adults and children. More than 90 percent of all deaths from chronic pulmonary obstruction diseases are attributable to smoking. It has been well documented that smoking substantially increases the risk of heart disease, including heart and heart attacks, Prism. Cigarette smoking also causes coronary heart disease, the leading cause of death in the United States; Cigarette smokers are two to four times more likely to develop coronary heart disease compared to people who do not smoke.
Also, it can be extremely toxic to be exposed to high doses of nicotine such as those found in some insecticide sprays, which can cause vomiting, tremor, seizures, and death. In fact, a drop of pure nicotine can kill a person. Nicotine poisonings resulting from accidental ingestion of insecticides by adults or ingestion of tobacco products by children and pets have been reported. Death usually occurs within a few minutes due to respiratory failure caused by paralysis.
Although we often think that medical consequences are the result of direct use of tobacco products, passive inhalation of cigarette smoke also increases the risk of many diseases. Environmental tobacco smoke is the largest source of indoor air pollutants. It is estimated that passive inhalation of cigarette smoke causes approximately 3,000 deaths from lung cancer among people who do not smoke and contributes to more than 35,000 deaths related to cardiovascular disease. Being exposed to tobacco smoke in the home is also a risk factor that contributes to new and more severe cases of childhood asthma. In addition, cigarettes that fall or are thrown away are the main cause of fatalities from residential fires, causing more than 1,000 deaths each year.
What effects does it produce?
Nicotine is a stimulating substance, but most smokers believe that smoking relaxes them, but in reality, it is because it calms the anxiety caused by the lack of nicotine in the body (a symptom of withdrawal syndrome).
From the moment an individual becomes a habitual smoker, the toxic components of tobacco smoke begin slow but indefatigable labor.
A large number of diseases, in various systems of our body, are caused or favored by smoking.
At first, these "small" alarm signals appear to which the smoker becomes accustomed even though they progressively diminish his quality of life (tiredness, cough, expectorations, etc. They are the beginning of some negative effects of which these can be highlighted.
Bone health: tips to keep bones healthy
Muscles fulfill many functions in the body: they constitute the structure, protect the organs, hold the muscles and store calcium. While it is important to develop strong and healthy bones during childhood and adolescence, in adulthood you can also take measures to protect bone health.
Why is bone health important?
Bones change continuously: the body generates new bone tissue, and existing bone tissue wears out. When one is young, the body produces new bone tissue faster than existing bone tissue wears out, and bone density increases. Most people reach their maximum bone density around 30 years. After that, bone remodeling continues, but slightly more bone density is lost than is gained.
The likelihood of osteoporosis, a condition that causes bones to weaken and become fragile, depends on the amount of bone density you reach by the time you turn 30 and how quickly you lose it. The higher the maximum bone density you acquire, the more bone tissue you will have "in reserve" and the lower the chance of getting osteoporosis when you get older.
What affects bone health?
Several factors can affect bone health. For example:
• The amount of calcium in your diet. A diet low in calcium contributes to decreased bone density, early decalcification and an increased risk of fractures.
• Physical activity. Compared to the most active people, sedentary people are more likely to have osteoporosis.
• Tobacco and alcohol consumption. Research suggests that tobacco use weakens bones. Also, drinking more than one alcoholic drink a day for women or two alcoholic drinks a day for men can increase the risk of osteoporosis.
• Sex You have a higher risk of osteoporosis if you are a woman because women have less bone tissue than men.
• Size. You are at risk if you are extremely thin (with a body mass index of 19 or less) or have a small build, since you may have less bone mass to store as you get older.
• Age. Your bones become thinner and weaker as you get older.
• Race and family history. You have a higher risk of osteoporosis if you are white or of Asian descent. In addition, having a father or brother with osteoporosis puts you at greater risk, especially if you also have a family history of fractures.
• Hormonal levels High levels of thyroid hormone can cause osteoporosis. In women, the decrease in bone mass increases significantly during menopause due to the decrease in estrogen levels. The prolonged absence of menstruation (amenorrhea) before menopause also increases the risk of osteoporosis. In men, low testosterone levels can cause decreased bone mass.
• Eating disorders and other conditions. People with anorexia or bulimia are at risk of osteoporosis. In addition, stomach surgery (gastrectomy), weight loss surgery and conditions such as Crohn's disease, celiac disease and Cushing's disease can affect the body's ability to absorb calcium.
• Certain medications Prolonged use of corticosteroid medications, such as prednisone, cortisone, prednisolone, and dexamethasone, is harmful to the bones. Other medications that could increase the risk of osteoporosis are aromatase inhibitors to treat breast cancer, selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, methotrexate, some anticonvulsant medications such as phenytoin (Dilantin) and phenobarbital, and inhibitors of the proton pump.
What can I do to keep my bones healthy?
You can take some simple steps to avoid or delay bone loss. For example:
• Include a lot of calcium in your diet. Adults between the ages of 19 and 50 and men between the ages of 51 and 70 have a recommended dietary value of 1,000 milligrams (mg) of calcium per day. The recommendation increases to 1,200 mg per day for women over 50 and for men over 70.
Some good sources of calcium are dairy products, almonds, broccoli, kale, canned salmon with bones, sardines and soy products, such as tofu. If you find it difficult to get enough calcium from your diet, ask your doctor about supplements.
• Pay attention to vitamin D. The body needs vitamin D to absorb calcium. For adults between 19 and 70 years and the recommended daily amount of vitamin D is 600 international units (IU). The recommendation increases to 800 IU for adults over 71 years.
Among the good sources of vitamin D are fatty fish, such as salmon, trout, whitefish, and tuna. Also, mushrooms, eggs and fortified foods, such as milk and cereals, are good sources of vitamin D. Sunlight also contributes to the production of vitamin D in the body. If you are worried about getting enough vitamin D, ask your doctor about supplements.
• Incorporate physical activity into your daily routine. Activities that support weight, such as walking, jogging and climbing stairs, can help you strengthen your bones and slow bone loss.
• Avoid substance abuse. Do not smoke. If you are a woman, try not to drink more than one alcoholic beverage per day. If you are male, try not to drink more than two alcoholic beverages per day.
Ask your doctor for help If you have concerns about your bone health or the risk factors you have for osteoporosis, such as a recent bone fracture, consult your doctor. I could recommend bone densitometry. The results will help the doctor calculate your bone density and determine the rate of decrease in bone mass. By evaluating this information and your risk factors, the doctor can assess whether you can be a candidate for medications to help delay the decrease in
Children's health is the health of the public
Preparing for unexpected events is an important part of keeping children safe and healthy throughout the year. Events such as the spread of a serious infection, an explosion, an earthquake, or a weather event such as a hurricane, could cause health problems for many people and especially children.
1 in 4 people in the United States are children and they have special needs during and after emergencies. Although young children are often more affected than adults during disasters, there are concerns about children of all ages during emergencies due to the following:
• Children may not be able to follow instructions or make decisions to stay out of danger during a disaster.
• The body of children consumes energy faster than that of adults and that is why children need food and water more frequently. This means that they will absorb poison or dangerous chemicals faster than adults.
• Children have thinner skin and breathe faster than adults, which also makes it more likely that harmful substances enter the body through the skin or breathing.
• Children are smaller than adults, but proportionally to their size, they have more skin compared to adults. This means that they are more likely to show damage from certain chemicals, or from very hot or very cold temperatures.
• Children are more likely to put their hands in their mouths and spend more time outdoors and on the ground, which makes it easier for them to come into contact with hazards in the environment.
• Children may not be able to explain how they are feeling, which can make it harder to identify a medical problem and treat it quickly.
• Children have more contact with other people and their immune system is less developed to fight infections. This means that they are more likely to get diseases that are transmitted from person to person.
Advances in the consideration of children's needs during emergencies
Although children have a greater chance of preventing damage during an emergency, special attention is required to ensure that they are not ignored when emergency plans are developed or implemented. Caring for children during emergency procedures, such as evacuation, decontamination, and shelter, requires planning and taking action before an emergency occurs. For example, in an emergency, hospitals may have to care for a large number of children. If it is not planned with enough time, hospitals may not have adequate equipment and supplies to care for a larger number of young patients than usual.
Agencies in local communities and at the state and national levels are working to ensure that children are protected during disasters by taking measures such as the following:
• create new or stronger connections between the public health sector, children's health care providers, children's hospitals, schools, and education boards;
• develop instructions on how to keep children healthy during an emergency and how to treat those who are sick or those with special health care needs;
• Share information and ideas about the inclusion of children's needs in emergency plans and how to implement them during the emergency; Y
• Prepare for the next event by reviewing what was learned from previous events and making improvements.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) created a Child Preparedness Unit (CPU) in 2012 to focus on the protection of children during disease outbreaks and other emergencies. The CPU works with partners to include the needs of children at all stages of an emergency. More recently, members of the CPU provided personnel to the CDC Emergency Operations Center for the response to the Zika virus outbreak to serve as experts in children's health. For the response to the 2017 hurricane season, the CPU worked closely with the CDC official in charge of vulnerable populations in order to establish the first Workforce in Risk Moments for a response.

A string of Premier League clubs have rejected the chance to sign Newcastle outcast Papiss Cisse - because the Magpies were demanding £11million for him.
Newcastle offered the 28-year-old around but told clubs that the least they were willing to accept for him was £8million.
One Middle Eastern side, Al Rayyan, have already had a £7million bid turned down.
West Ham were among the English top flight clubs to opt out of taking misfiring Cisse as they believed he was not value for money.
Although the marksman enjoyed a good campaign last season he has scored just one goal in the Premier League this time around.
Newcastle have moved to replace him with Borussia Moenchengladbach forward Luuk De Jong.

Our happy clients
This service was my last chance not to be excluded from university. And it worked! I ordered the essays I couldn't do alone and they did it for me. This was fantastic because the works were really qualified. I read them all and was surprised how good they were. Thank you very much for the help, you saved my academic life!
I was hesitating for a long time before ordering a paper here. On the one hand, I couldn't trust some strangers to write my term paper, on the other hand, I was assured that I wouldn't manage it myself. Therefore, I took this risk and received my perfect term paper in a few weeks. I was very surprised by the fact that the writer agreed to change one part completely and for no extra fees. This was very sweet. As a result, I gained my A mark. Tip: it is cheaper when you are ordering in advance.
I am a family person and have to visit my family often. Therefore, most essays I am writing during the long way home. Many times I was too exhausted to write anything or produce ideas. Nevertheless, I just relied on this company and had no regrets. The studying process is much easier when you know that there is always a person online who can always back you up.
Being a foreigner is tricky especially when you have to manage the part-time job with a study. I always write the main ideas but have no patience and time to correct an essay. With a reliable online help, it is much easier. You have only to apply your draft in the evening and receive a completed essay in the morning. This is cheap, by the way.
