National Marrow Donor Programby Cheryl Baumgartner Medical Billing/Coding/Insurance
Thousands of patients hope for a bone marrow donor who can make their life-saving transplant possible. They depend on people like you. You have the power to save a life. Recommended Features
- Be listed on the Be the Match Registry
- Every new registry listing brings new hope
- Registering is easy-do it online.
- You could be the match that saves a life!
Review on National Marrow Donor ProgramFor two years my name has appeared on a very important list-The National Marrow Donor Program Registry(Be the Match Registry) My name is there because one day, that name could save a life.
Thousands of patients with leukemia and other life-threatening diseases depend on the Be The Match Registry to find a match to save their life.
Patients need donors who are a genetic match. Even with a registry of millions, many patients cannot find a match. Donors with diverse racial or ethnic backgrounds are especially needed.
Because the markers used in matching are inherited, patients are more likely to match someone from their own race or ethnicity. Adding more donors and cord blood units from diverse racial and ethnic backgrounds to the Be The Match Registry increases the likelihood that all patients will find the match they need.
Your heritage can make all the difference. If you are from one of the following communities, you are especially encouraged to join the Be The Match Registry or donate umbilical cord blood:
Black and African American
American Indian and Alaska Native
Asian, including South Asian
Native Hawaiian and other Pacific Islander
Hispanic and Latino
Multiple race
If you are between the ages of 18 and 60, please visit to see how you can help.

This is a very important area of medical treatment that could save more lives. Is Marrow included in the list of parts that an Organ Donor can supply?

This is so important to so many people who need the help of others. Another good idea is to put on your drivers license that you are a organ donor. You can help save someone life.

@Deb it's more like being a blood donor. You sign up for the registry and they will either send you a testing kit in the mail or if you sign up at a donor drive they will do the testing kit then. It's a simply cheek swab.
They will type and test you and put your name on the list. When a patient needs a marrow donation they first look at family members but if a family member cannot be found that is a match, they turn to this registry hoping that they come across a match among test tested donors.
I'm also an organ donor as was my daughter. When she died as a result of an automobile accident she gave one last precious gift with her death, hope. Her corneas and heart valves went to help someone else. I can't say it made her death easier but it did mean that her death was not a total loss.

@Cheryl. I'm sorry to hear that you lost your daughter but I'm sure you are comforted in knowing that a part of her still lives on and is making a positive difference for another.

Cheryl Baumgartner Medical Billing/Coding/Insurance
Yes I am. She is proof that our children see what we do. She would often go with me to the Red Cross when I would make blood donations. When she got her driver's license she asked me about being a donor since I was a donor as was my Mom.
It is a comfort to know that someone was given hope.

A lot of communities around the country are having donor drives in the upcoming weeks. Please share this so more people will be aware of the registry and maybe even get listed. This is all about saving lives!

There is, or was, a guy on Facebook that I think was doing the same thing except he wasn't pretending to be female. He requested to add me as a friend. I checked his profile, requested more info from him, then he replied that he was looking for a special woman. Most of his friends were female. I was told he had tried to scam some of my friends so told him I was blocking him. Then found out he completely changed his profile but the name was the same.

An Intro
So.... I make jewelry. I'm obsessed with making jewelry, really. I used to be obsessed with genealogy and before that it was cake decorating. But now, I'm all about jewelry and have been for years. I do mostly micro macrame, but I'll attempt just about anything. I've tried bead weaving, torch fired enameling, acid etching, chemical patinas - you name it. I didn't say I was good at any of that stuff, mind you - but I've dabbled.
I am married and have been for 26 years. My husband and I have two kids - my son just finished his first year of college and my daughter is sixteen and will be a Junior next year. We have a cat and three dogs - one's the most spoiled mini doxie EVER - that one's mine. The two big dogs belong to my husband. One's a big black lab that was supposed to be a hunting dog, but he's not really into that. He'd rather lay around and be cuddly. The other dog is a retired police service dog - he was my husband's K-9 partner until he retired last fall.
I work full time and make jewelry in most of my free time. And that's me in a nutshell.

May it be sugary sweet fuchsia or of the moment Millennial pink, incorporating this bright hue just makes dressing up a little more fun.
I'm not a girly girl but I do love me a nice pink outfit. I wore this tonal look a few months ago to celebrate my birthday. The peg trousers were from Topshop and I picked up this Temperley London printed off-shoulder top during their last Sample Sale.
I remember just as I was about to pay, two staff members commented on my purchases. Apparently, I was one of the lucky shoppers to have found a piece from their latest collection, which doesn't get released until the following month! Although the top was a little more than I would normally pay for a seasonal item, the fact that I was able to get it way before anyone else AND at 60% off the retail price, pretty much justifies it, right? (I legit can feel my husband rolling his eyes as I'm typing this. haha)
Have a great day, everyone! Thanks for dropping by! :)

Using gene expression databases for classical trait QTL candidate gene discovery in the BXD recombinant inbred genetic reference population: mouse forebrain weight

BACKGROUND: Successful strategies for QTL gene identification benefit from combined experimental and bioinformatic approaches. Unique design aspects of the BXD recombinant inbred line mapping panel allow use of archived gene microarray expression data to filter likely from unlikely candidates. This prompted us to propose a simple five-filter protocol for candidate nomination. To filter more likely from less likely candidates, we required candidate genes near to the QTL to have mRNA abundance that correlated with the phenotype among the BXD lines as well as differed between the parental lines C57BL/6J and DBA/2J. We also required verification of mRNA abundance by an independent method, and finally we required either differences in protein levels or confirmed DNA sequence differences.
RESULTS: QTL mapping of mouse forebrain weight in 34 BXD RI lines found significant association on chromosomes 1 and 11, with each C57BL/6J allele increasing weight by more than half a standard deviation. The intersection of gene lists that were within +/- 10 Mb of the strongest associated location, that had forebrain mRNA abundance correlated with forebrain weight among the BXD, and that had forebrain mRNA abundance differing between C57BL/6J and DBA/2J, produced two candidates, Tnni1 (troponin 1) and Asb3 (ankyrin repeat and SOCS box-containing protein 3). Quantitative RT-PCR confirmed the direction of an increased expression in C57BL/6J genotype over the DBA/2J genotype for both genes, a difference that translated to a 2-fold difference in Asb3 protein. Although Tnni1 protein differences could not be confirmed, a 273 bp indel polymorphism was discovered 1 Kb upstream of the transcription start site.
CONCLUSION: Delivery of well supported candidate genes following a single quantitative trait locus mapping experiment is difficult. However, by combining available gene expression data with QTL mapping, we illustrated a five-filter protocol that nominated Asb3 and Tnni1 as candidates affecting increased mouse forebrain weight. We recommend our approach when (1) investigators are working with phenotypic differences between C57BL/6J and DBA/2J, and (2) gene expression data are available on http://www.genenetwork.org that relate to the phenotype of interest. Under these circumstances, measurement of the phenotype in the BXD lines will likely also deliver excellent candidate genes.

Maple Ridge, BC V2X 0T4
Be the first Weblocal.ca user to add photos or videos of Epic Homes
We purchased a new home from Epic Homes 3 years ago in Maple Ridge. The workmanship was terrible, the customer service was even worse. Unfortunately, we had never purchased a new home before and when they offered to have their lawyers handle the closing at no cost, we took them up on it. They didn't inform us that we could hold back up to 20% for deficiencies. Once they had our money it took several months to get the numerous deficiencies fixed, and when they were fixed, they were done by an unqualified incompetent employee.
We had a drainage problem in the yard from day one which they continued to make excuses for and put us off forever. Finally they agreed there was a problem, put down a little gravel and some big O, which was apparently crushed as soon as they covered it up, this did little or nothing to help. They told us to put down some sod and it would be great. We did this twice now and still have a swamp in one corner. When I contacted Ryan, the manager he told me my warrantee period had expired even though it's been an ongoing problem since day one. I also informed him that there was mold under the exterior wood trim due to shoddy workmanship when they failed to caulk the seams after the home settled. He then told me they were going to do nothing for us and learn to live with it as a homeowner. I have been a homeowner since 1979, and have never seen substandard construction like this in my life.
Please remember, if you ever end up in the unfortunate situation of having to deal with this comany, hold back as much money as you can and use your own lawyer for closing. It is well worth the money.
"Epic Homes a new tradition of quality and value" right!!!!!!!!
Feel free to email me if you have dealt with these clowns or plan to @ firstname.lastname@example.com

Dear All,
I thought I'd take a minute to explain some of features now present on the UCS Website since its redevelopment this summer.
The most important section for undergrads is definitely the 'Life at Clare' pages.
Here you can find information about all of the different societies that are being run at Clare along with contact details for the person in charge of the society. For those in charge of a sports society there is a sports results page for you to let the rest of college know how you got on.
Under 'Life at Clare' there is also a page which contains 'useful links' for Clare Students. Here you can conduct a search of the FML; book a formal on upay; check your email on hermes and access the rooms database.
If you need to send an email to the undergraduate body the simplest way is to use the 'Email Undergraduates' page which, as I'm sure you've guessed, is also under the Life at Clare section of the website. Once you've submitted your email it will be sent to either myself (the Secretary) or the President for moderation.
If you've been to formal or buttery and want to give feedback on the food, service or the general ambiance submit the form on the 'Catering Feedback' Page. Any menu changes or food suggestions that you have would be very much welcomed by the catering department and could lead to changes as to what is offered by the catering team.
There is a calendar which automatically includes facebook events which are created by the UCS, Clare Ents, the bar etc. If you have an event you would like to advertise on the calendar email the computer rep (jj379 [at] cam [dot] ac [dot] uk) or myself (ucs-secretary [ at ] srcf [ dot ] net)
The 'News' section will be updated regularly by the UCS exec with details of UCS projects and events that have been run. It will also be open for undergrads to post about college projects they have been working on. If you would like to submit an item to go on the 'News' section of the website email: ucs-secretary [ at ] srcf [ dot ] net
Another area of the website which you might want to visit is the 'The Committee' section. The weekly minutes from committee meetings will be posted on here.
Another new section which has been added to the website is the 'social' pages. Photos from College Bops will be posted in this section. The photos are raven login protected and so no one outside of the University will be able to access them.
Finally, I would really welcome any feedback that you may have about the new website. Suggestions for new additions such as links or pages, sections would be particularly helpful. To provide feedback send me an email at ucs-secretary [ at ] srcf [ dot ] net .

Pan Fried Scallops with Bacon and Grapefruit
Scallops, Bacon & Grapefruit – How Good Can It Get
One thing I love about my wife is how she enjoys experimenting with new recipes. If I happen to leave one of my old cooking magazines lying around the kitchen, she'll pick it up and decide to try a few recipes from it. Or if there is a recipe that catches her eye in the Sunday New York Times, off to the market she goes to give it a try that night.
This past weekend she found three recipes in my October 2012 issue of Food and Wine, picked up ingredients for them and made plans to cook each one this week. One of those recipes – Scallops with Grapefruit and Bacon – we cooked together last night and it was a huge success. So good that I deemed it "As Good as It Gets" and because it took just 35 minutes to prep and prepare, "Quick & Easy".
There are thousands of great recipes out there but to be "As Good As It Gets" it has to be exceptional. It has to be one of those recipes where you sit back and say, "Damn, this good! Did I really just make this at home?"
Lots of flavor, every bite better than the next, good texture, not too complicated and something I would serve family and friends at a dinner party. AND my kids liked it. Not asking too much, am I?
- Grapefruit – the recipe calls for 1 large grapefruit but we used pre sliced grapefruit in juice that Meg picks up at the supermarket to eat in the morning for breakfast. Good substitute and saves a few minutes on those busy weeknights.
- Scallops – we try to always have a bag of frozen scallops in the freezer for those nights we want to make a quick risotto or pasta but because this recipe features the scallops as the main ingredient, Meg picked up some Dry or sometimes called Day Boat scallops. These scallops are caught and returned to the market all in the same day. They are not soaked in sodium tripolyphosphate (STP) to keep them fresh when for a few days or weeks on the fishing boat at sea. What makes them so good to cook with, besides their freshness, is they don't shrink to half their size when cooked. They cost a little more but when you account for shrinkage, they are well worth the price.
Bacon Cut Into Matchsticks
Pan Frying the Scallops
3 strips of thick sliced bacon (3 oz)
1 large grapefruit (we used fresh pre-sectioned grapefruit)
1 /4 pounds sea scallops (approximately 20)
Salt and pepper, to taste
1/4 cup minced onion
1/2 cup Pinot Grigio or Sauvignon Blanc
2 tablespoons capers, drained
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
How To Prepare At Home
Prep Work
Bacon - stack the three strips of bacon and cut into 1/4 inch match sticks.
Grapefruit - if using a whole grapefruit, peel, remove the white pith and remove individual slices by cutting between the membranes. Do this over a bowl so you can capture and reserve the juice for later.
Begin Cooking
Start by heating up a large fry pan big enough to hold all the scallops. Add the bacon and cook for about 3 minutes until crisp and the fat is rendered from the bacon. Remove the bacon from the pan with a slotted spoon or slotted spatula and transfer to a plate lined with a paper towel to absorb any fat. The recipe says to pour off all but 1 tablespoon of fat but I didn't find that necessary. Maybe my bacon isn't so fatty.
Add the scallops to the pan, season with salt and pepper and pan fry over medium-high heat for 3 minutes. When you flip the scallops over, they should be nice and brown. Add the onion to the pan and cook for another 3 minutes and transfer to a plate.
Don't make the mistake I did by lining the plate with a paper towel to absorb any juices that may release out of them when resting. These juices are going to be added back to the pan when making the sauce. Silly me!
Deglaze the pan with the white wine, then add the reserved grapefruit juice (approximately 3 tablespoons) to the pan and bring to a simmer. Be sure to scrape up any browned bits stuck to the pan with a wooden spoon or spatula. Let this cook for about a minute or two.
Strain this liquid into a heatproof cup (I used my pyrex measuring cup) and return the strained liquid to the pan. Add the capers and butter and cook until the sauce thickens to a nice consistency. Be sure to stir the sauce while it is cooking and give the pan a shake now and again to keep it moving. This should take about 3 minutes.
Add the scallops back to the pan along with the juice that you didn't let get absorbed onto a paper towel. Add the grapefruit slices and reserved bacon pieces into the pan, then flip each scallop so it gets coated with the sauce.
Serve immediately. We served this dish with rice pilaf, roasted Brussels sprouts and the rest of the Pinot Grigio that we used in the recipe.
everyone loved this recipe, especially my two daughters. Great for a weekday because it is so quick to prepare but elegant enough to serve friends on the weekend. I have a feeling this Good As It Gets, Quick and Easy recipe will become a regular in our house.
Let me know what you think.

let me start by saying your website is my favorite for not being overwhelmed by advertisements or commitments to whatever before we will share information with you.
this is my go-to place for recipes like the pan fried scallops one above. my wife & i are hosting a dinner of 6 next month & this will be the main course. i would like to add another item along with the scallops if appropriate. adding a 4 to 6 oz rib-eye stake cut into strips, encircled w/a heavy strip of bacon, seared, then topped with Demi Glacs Gold (your opinion is welcomed). i am also using your mushroom soup less the chicken for the appetizer. this is sure to be a crowd pleas-er as you know.
to top the dinning experience off with a dish of tapioca pudding served warm with a vanilla wafer along with a spritzing of lemon drop candy crushed up finally beside a fresh mint leaf……..
i value your experience & welcome your input provided you have the time.
Jim L.
This was delicious! my scallops didn't look as nicely browned as they do in the picture, but this still tasted great. I will definitely be making again. The flavors all go very nicely together. I served this with rosemary roasted potatoes.
I'm so glad I happened to stumble upon this website, I will definitely be trying out more of the recipes.
Hi…now that you explained London Broil…How about a great marinade for it with all the ingredients and proportions??? 🙂

States and municipalities are scrambling to meet a deadline in August requiring that they curb sexual violence behind bars.
The federally mandated reforms come after studies and testimony uncovered striking levels of abuse among young people.
One in eight detained youths are sexually abused, according to a 2010 study by the Bureau of Justice, the most recent comprehensive report on the subject to date.
That number is nine times greater for transgender youths like Cyryna Pasion, who in 2004 at age 15 was arrested after she ran away from home in 2004, according to a Just Detention International.
Pasion was originally housed with female inmates, but in September 2004 when the female inmates were temporarily moved to another facility, Pasion was moved to the boys' side of the facility.
Pasion testified in front of the National Prison Rape Elimination Commission in 2006, stating:
"I am an 18 year-old transgender girl who was sexually harassed and assaulted, and continuously threatened with rape by other wards while incarcerated at the Hawaii Youth Correctional Facility. The Youth Corrections Officers, or YCOs, and others were aware that this abuse was occurring, and even contributed to it by calling me derogatory names, but did nothing to protect me."
Pasion described the violence inflicted on her while incarcerated as "severe beyond belief." She added:
"I experienced the most damaging and emotionally devastating treatment of my life thus far when I was in a youth correctional facility and witnessed horrible treatment of other kids too that violated their right to be free from violence and sexual harassment. While I was not raped, I was sexually assaulted both physically and emotionally. I survived threats of violence, unwanted sexual touching and verbal abuse that were severe beyond belief."
In May of 2012, the Department of Justice put a mandate in place that requires incarceration facilities, including jails, prisons, juvenile detention facilities and halfway houses, to prevent sexual abuse. The guidelines apply to both juveniles and adults.
The new requirements demand that LGBT inmates, who are at greater risk of abuse, be housed appropriately so they're not put at risk, Just Detention Internationals spokesperson, Jesse Lerner-Kinglake said. There are also measures that would require incarceration facilities to provide an outside agency where inmates can report abuse.
That's crucial, Lerner-Kinglake said, because "about half the time" sexual abuse is perpetrated by employees of the facility where the victim is being held.
The deadline for state and local facilities to comply with the requirements is in August.
Lerner-Kinglake said he expects compliance with the mandate to be uneven.
"We work with a lot of committed corrections departments," Lerner-Kinglake said. "There are also small facilities and other departments that say there's no way we're going to do this. It runs the gamut."

Google is providing the first public glimpse of the augmented-reality glasses being developed by its Google X research group under the name "Project Glass."
But the initial images shown by the Project Glass team via its Google+ page reveal that the "glasses" aren't really glasses in the traditional sense.
Instead they're frames that house a small device on one side and put a mini display in the periphery of one eye — making the wearer look like a fashionable cyborg.
In the video above, the company shows how the glasses would work, using the display in connection with a wireless connection, voice recognition, a camera and other components to assist the person wearing the glasses — overlaying interactive graphics such as map data on top of the real world to assist the wearer as he or she moves around throughout the day.
"We think technology should work for you—to be there when you need it and get out of your way when you don't," the team explains in its post. "A group of us from Google[x] started Project Glass to build this kind of technology, one that helps you explore and share your world, putting you back in the moment."
In some ways, the glasses represent the evolution of technologies like Apple's existing Siri virtual assistant for the iPhone.
Why unveil them now? The New York Times and Reuters say the Project Glass team will be testing prototypes in public. The New York Times reported previously that the glasses would go on sale this year, but the Google team doesn't mention that possibility.
What do you think? Would you use these glasses in public, and how much would you pay for them?

This is the question I've been pondering the past several months. This post is largely personal, but perhaps you are at the same point or you may get to this phase of your digital nomad journey.
First let me giving you a little background in case you're just getting to know me.
In 2 days I will have spent 4 months living in Chiang Mai Thailand and almost 2 years in Taiwan.
My journey to freedom and living abroad in Taiwan
My first taste of corporate freedom came on May 2011 when I told my director I sold my Vancouver apartment and I was leaving my job to pursue my own thing. I eventually made my way to Asia for 2 months that left me wanting for more. It would have to wait because I needed to return to corporate and get a job in May 2012. It was a good gig. I had a 9 to 5pm job that paid well and even had a decent cafeteria and on-site gym I could play basketball after work. I made the 25-minute commute in my Acura TL sedan from my Yaletown studio condo to Richmond every weekday morning. Still my heart was not happy and yearning to live abroad. This was my 2nd chance to live a normal Vancouver life.
On May 2013 I left my Business Team Lead job in Vancouver sold my car and set off on a journey to Hawaii, 2 months in Australia, South Africa, Malaysia, Indonesia, Singapore, before living abroad in Taiwan. I got an apartment, enrolled for Chinese classes at Shida, and lived life. I made friends, had romantic relationships, had great food, and was still trying to get figure out this business thing. Eventually I started teaching English at a cram school. I hated it so much that it forced me to really figure out this business thing. I discovered a way to earn an income from my videos in 2014 using stock footage and my on-line courses. My on-line earnings grew to the point I could get my time and location freedom back again. I met a digital nomad from Vancouver named Nigel during this time. He introduced me to the idea of the digital nomad lifestyle and the nomad list. Through my research I discovered that Chiang Mai seemed like the destination to be.
Return to Vancouver
I went back home to Vancouver for Christmas in 2014 to visit family and friends for a month. I enjoyed craft beer, shot stock footage, flew the drone, and saw my family and friends. It was great, but I still didn't feel like it was time to come home to stay. The grey clouds, long rainy days, and cold didn't help to convince me to stay. I had seen and experienced too much.
I still had unfinished business in Taiwan and Asia. I needed to improve my Chinese. I needed to improve my on-line business, and I need to travel deeper into Asia.
At the beginning of this year I began dating a Taiwanese girlfriend, and began focusing on scaling my on-line business. We went to the Pingxi festival and we wrote our dreams on our lanterns before we lit and set them off into the sky. It felt my life was starting to come together in Taiwan. I started volunteering as the photographer at a professional expat social club called Internations. I joined the local co-work space in Taipei called the Makerbar. I worked at the space during the day and would hang out with my girlfriend at night.
Chiang Mai
During the year I thought more about Chiang Mai. Sometimes it is difficult to live the life of the digital nomad especially in Taiwan where it is more common to work a traditional job. The environment offers a lot, but there is a very small on-line digital nomad community.
I met a well-known Asian American entrepreneur, Johnny FDK, who was living a good life in Chiang Mai. During a family visit to Singapore I stopped by Thailand for the first time. As I took my taxi from Chiang Mai airport to the neighborhood of Nimman I already was being charmed by the city. I returned to Taiwan with plans to relocate to Chiang Mai. I scored an amazing video opportunity with a foreign company just before I left Taipei. This would give me the funds to follow my 2015 vision.
I traveled to Okinawa Japan before moving out to Chiang Mai. I even got sponsored by an on-line company called curious to produce a drone course that I would film in Chiang Mai. My sister ended up visiting Taipei and helped me move into Chiang Mai.
I traveled deep into South East Asia with my sister and Taiwanese girlfriend visiting countries and filming Bangkok, Vietnam, Cambodia, and Myanmar.
I had settled into my life in Chiang Mai. I had a nice modern apartment in Nimman, I started to meet a group of solid friends, and went to work. I rented a scooter from Mango bikes for about 2400 baht a month. I was filming a drone course in the mountain jungles of Chiang Mai and the university. To get paid to film a course teaching people to fly and film with a drone in Thailand was freaking cool.
During the day I would visit the co-working spaces of Mana and Camp during the day and produce my videos. At night I would frequent the restaurants and bars of Nimman and drink cheap Singha and Leo beer. I would enjoy the live music at the rooftop bars at Nimman hill, chill with friends at Deejai Gardens, listen to live jazz at Mojo's, or enjoy a carafe of red wine at Kafe Vino. I found some of my favorite food spots for cheap pad thai at the Maya, curries at K's Kitchen, and even good western breakfast at Bake and bite. Once a week I would treat myself to a foot or oil massage for $6.80 US. I got back into the dating scene and started dating a local Thai girl.
Coming home to family
Still during one of my weekly Facetime calls my parents asked me to come back. I started to think about returning to life in Toronto or Vancouver. Thinking started to translate into flight and apartment shopping. Returning to Canada wouldn't be as simple as booking a flight back.
Prices for just about everything especially accommodation is more expensive. While I can make a comfortable living in places like Chiang Mai with my on-line business is not at a stage I can enjoy time and location freedom in Canada. My dad tried to place the urgency on summer in Vancouver ending. Chiang Mai is like summer everyday so I didn't feel that I needed to rush. In Canada thoughts crossed my mind to return to a corporate job. Yes a corporate job mostly probably related to my 13 years in IT leadership. There is a good chance with my MBA and career experience I could return to the workforce and earn a $70-90k (CDN) a year job. I also need to pay off the loan for my MBA still, which hangs over my head. My on-line business and what I love would need to take a backseat to my corporate job. Most likely if I did nothing I would bringing in an additional $28-32k Canadian a year in passive income. This could be a good scenario financially earning 100-120k (CDN) a year. I would have tons of stories, experiences, and information to share with Canadians who wanted to pursue a similar once in a lifetime adventure.
I feel like I'm taking steps forward to achieve my dream of financial freedom in Chiang Mai. I'm busy working hard on my on-line business here. I feel like I have the workspaces, fast upload Internet speeds, and supportive community to take my business to the next level. The atmosphere of working in co-working spaces together with people who made similar sacrifices certainly helps to keep me on track. You end up talking with digital nomads, and it is hard not to increase your knowledge of the familiar Internet business topics of e-books, seo, Kindle books, affiliate marketing, blogging, or building a sales funnel.
The problem is that I've failed to reach my financial targets. All the work I've produced in Chiang Mai hasn't necessarily translated into the financial success I imagined. The longer I'm out here the further I'm delaying earning the salary I mentioned earlier.
After all the recent traveling for Chiang mai visa runs I've become a bit travel weary and a bit homesick. I want to be able to cross the street as a pedestrian and not have cars try to run me over. I want to have random friendly conversations with strangers. I miss being able to walk straight on a sidewalk an not have someone cut me off frequently.
It's harder for me to imagine, but I'm usually a bit more senior in terms of my age in this digital nomad community. If I were 25 years old perhaps I wouldn't think twice continuing what I'm doing. However, I'm 37 and because of that I think a bit differently. Maybe I'm a bit grumpier too I would love to have some kids, have financial freedom, take care of my parents, and be able to see my family more often. Is returning to Canada, starting a job, getting married, buying a home, and living with kids the solution? Should I be not be content with what I've seen, done, and experienced already?
Chances are I would bored and chained up to a company after a year or 2.
Is there another way to think of this? A redefinition of what I refer to as home. One of my longer-term goals I envisioned having more than one home in the world. A home you could come to 3-6 months at a time to escape the weather and high prices. Every city has something to offer and pros and cons. Vancouver has awesome Cantonese foods, mary jane, beautiful scenery, the seawall, and generally a higher quality of life. The downside is the fall and winter grey clouds and non stop rain. All if forgiven because our beautiful 3 month summers where all we want to do is get outdoors, exercise, drink coffee on the patio, or do something near the seawall or water.
Taipei has an excellent transportation system, is super convenient, cheaper than the west, and excellent noodles and dumplings. However, the buildings are old and owning property is super expensive. There are the regular typhoons and earthquakes and almost everywhere is crowded. There is a small digital nomad community and there are the language barrier issues.
Singapore is the most developed English-speaking city in Asia, one of the safest and cleanest, and is a great travel hub. However, expensive prices for most things from accommodation, driving, and booze set back this city. The Island is pretty small and the perfection can be boring for some.
Chiang Mai has regular hot weather and beautiful mountain and jungle scenery. Nimman is a trendy and upcoming neighborhood that offers everyone one could need. It is a renter friendly city allowing one to rent a scooter or apartment with ease and no hassles. The lifestyle here is easy and cost of living some of the lowest in the world. You have a strong community of Digital nomads and it's easy to rent here. However; Thailand's one-month tourist visa is inconvenient leading to visa workarounds to extended stays. I would be great to have more pavements and pedestrian traffic crossings that are longer than 7 seconds long. The burning season from February to April results in thick smoke making it unbearable to live here during these months. The heat combined with the air pollution from the tuk tuks, motor bikes, and red trucks leads to lower air quality that I'm used to from Vancouver.
Perhaps I have to redefine what I call home? After all my travels one thing is for sure. Chiang Mai is definitely a place I could see myself coming back on a regular basis living here for part of the year. Some places like Tokyo are great to visit, but destinations are great to live. Chiang Mai is one of those places.
What conclusion have I come to? I am grateful for the great lifestyle that I've had in Chiang Mai. The business opportunities that have come my way. I've traveled and experienced more in this part of the world than I could ever imagine.Would I like to travel more. Of course I would!
Working in a corporate job for a short time, can help me with financial stability. Perhaps I would be happy to pay off the MBA loan and regroup. Can I see myself going through 2-hour meetings and waking up at 8am every morning to commute to work? After the freedom I've experienced I would have to say no. Perhaps I could develop my video business in Canada and North America. The video opportunities I've had in Chiang Mai will lead to an impressive video portfolio. Sometimes I have to wrestle with the rational side of my brain tries to over analyze and calculate before making a decision. I still have faith and belief that following your passion and heart will lead to success. I'm enjoying the journey. This journey has taught to have the courage and faith to follow your heart. It has taken time to develop the instinct to trust my feelings to make a decision that feels right.
Right now it feels like its time to return home to Vancouver for now. To answer the question of what is it time to go home for yourself I believe you also have to be honest with yourself and learn to trust your feelings. I don't know what the future holds. I do know what I want. I want to spend some time with my family. I want to do paid talks to inspire Canadians and Westerners about the freedom lifestyle that is available to them. I want to teach people to learn to find their passion and calling and to develop the courage to pursue it. I want to do aerial videography in Canada perhaps for golf courses or resorts. I want to enjoy a cup of JJ bean coffee, Christmas parties with some craft beer and cabernet savignon with my friends, and home cooking with the family.
I want to build a business with solar energy and bringing and cleaner air to countries. I want to empower locals in popular digital nomad countries to build their own businesses and improve their lives. I've seen how clean and developed cities like Singapore are. I want to bring some of that cleanliness and fix the pavements in Chiang Mai. I have grand ambitions beyond just being a digital nomad. How will it all happen? I don't know.
For now If I've inspired you to live a free live and to listen to your heart this long post would have been worth it.

A child has received compensation after suffering head injuries in an accident in a school playground.
The injury happened in November 2006 whilst the child was attending nursery at a school in Sheffield.
As she was playing outside with the rest of the nursery class, she rode a tricycle through a coned off area of the playground and down five concrete steps which were used as a means of access to and from the nursery class onto the playground.
As a result of the accident, the child suffered a head injury consisting of bruising and swelling to her forehead and both eyes. She has also been left with a blemish to her forehead since the injury.
The school admitted liability for the accident resulting from their negligence as they should have known that the concrete steps within the playground constituted a hazard and a danger to young children.
Settlement was approved during an infant approval settlement hearing. The claim was made with help from Katrina Elsey of Irwin Mitchell's Public Liability Unit in Sheffield. She said:
"Schools are trusted with the wellbeing of children. Every effort should be made to ensure that accidents are avoided and that the safety of children in their care is of the utmost importance.
"In this case, the school's duty of care towards the child fell well below what was expected and, as such she suffered these painful injuries.
"Simple precautions would have been made to prevent the accident happening at all."
If your child has been seriously injured, our specialist serious injury claims team could help you claim compensation. Visit our Children's Serious Injury Claims for more information.

Habanero has been in austin for 20 years! Arturo Ibarra started with "Dos Hermanos" which was his father and uncle's restaurant. They were extremely popular in Austin, and I love hearing stories from old Austinites about it. After a couple decades in the business, they decided to retire. Selling the other three restaurants with the exception of this one. Arturo decided to buy if from his family, rename it, but keep its family roots and amazing recipes in tact. The rest was history.
We thank you for all the love and support you continue to give to us.

Kate Scholberg
Arts & Sciences Distinguished Professor of Physics
Professor of Physics
Associate of the Duke Initiative for Science & Society
Bass Fellow
Prof. Scholberg's broad research interests include experimental elementary particle physics, astrophysics and cosmology. Her main specific interests are in neutrino physics: she studies neutrino oscillations with the Super-Kamiokande experiment, a giant underground water Cherenkov detector located in a mine in the Japanese Alps. Super-K was constructed to search for proton decay and to study neutrinos from the sun, from cosmic ray collisions in the atmosphere, and from supernovae. On Super-K, Prof. Scholberg's primary involvement is with the atmospheric neutrino data analysis, which in 1998 yielded the first convincing evidence for neutrino oscillation (implying the existence of non-zero neutrino mass).
One of the most important questions that we may be able to answer with neutrino oscillation experiments over the next couple of decades is the question of CP (charge conjugation-parity) violation in neutrinos. It's now well known that processes involving quarks violate CP symmetry; it's suspected that the same is true for leptons (such as neutrinos), but leptonic CP violation is as yet unobserved. We hope that understanding of CP violation, along with knowledge of the other neutrino parameters, may lead to insight into the question of the observed matter-antimatter asymmetry of the universe. The long-term program neutrino oscillation physics aims to answer these questions.
The next steps in neutrino oscillation research involve artificial beams of neutrinos sent hundreds of kilometers from accelerator laboratories to underground detectors. The T2K ("Tokai to Kamioka") high-intensity beam experiment sends neutrinos 300 km from an accelerator at the J-PARC facility in Japan to Super-K, and is currently exploring unknown oscillation parameters. The DUNE (Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment) is a planned next-generation U.S.-based international experiment designed to observe neutrinos beamed from Fermilab to a large liquid argon detector at a new underground facility in South Dakota. One of Prof. Scholberg's particular interests on DUNE is the detector's sensitivity to the huge bursts of neutrinos from core-collapse supernovae.
Prof. Scholberg served as spokesperson of COHERENT, a multi-detector experiment with the primary physics goal of measuring CEvNS (Coherent Elastic Neutrino Nucleus Scattering) using the high-intensity neutrinos produced by the Spallation Neutron Source at Oak Ridge National Laboratory in Tennessee. CEvNS was measured for the first time by the collaboration in 2017.
Prof. Scholberg also coordinates SNEWS, the SuperNova Early Warning System, an inter-experiment collaboration of detectors with Galactic supernova sensitivity. Neutrinos from a core collapse will precede the photon signal by hours; therefore coincident observation of a burst in several neutrino detectors will be a robust early warning of a visible supernova. The goals of SNEWS are to provide the astronomical community with a prompt alert of a Galactic core collapse, as well as to optimize global sensitivity to supernova neutrino physics.

Four months into his first term, Mayor Bill de Blasio continues to stock the top echelons of his administration with senior aides and commissioners who share his desire to break sharply from the policies and tone set by Michael R. Bloomberg.
But when it comes to the next rung of crucial decision-makers — deputy and assistant commissioners, division heads and other senior officials who wield tremendous authority and oversee thousands of New York City employees — there has been strikingly little change, according to city records obtained by The New York Times.
Of the roughly 1,300 people in those ranks who have been identified as having "substantial policy discretion," only about 200, or less than one-sixth, are new to their positions. Moreover, the overwhelming majority of those newcomers were either promoted internally by the Bloomberg administration or had worked for another city agency in the latter part of 2013, a Times analysis shows.
The records offer the most comprehensive snapshot yet of a mayoralty still in formation. The surprisingly static nature of the de Blasio administration's top ranks shows that the mayor has been very deliberate — too deliberate, in the eyes of some — in his staffing.
With so many key people still unchanged, there are inevitable questions about the degree and speed with which Mr. de Blasio will be able to remake city government according to his priorities.
It is, of course, the prerogative of any mayor to articulate broad policy goals and set the overall tone, often by way of a trusted band of deputies and commissioners. But it is vital for a sizable policy class below them to buy into and execute those plans. If history is any guide, that buy-in process can be less smooth than anticipated.
"Change agents such as Bill de Blasio will inevitably clash with the permanent city bureaucracy because the change agent wants change right away and the permanent bureaucracy has a thousand reasons why it can't be done," said Randy M. Mastro, a former deputy mayor under Rudolph W. Giuliani. "Until you have your own people committed to your own agenda in place, it's a very frustrating experience for a mayor."
When briefed on the Times's findings, several City Hall veterans voiced surprise at the high degree of holdovers, especially given the switch from a political independent who ran as a Republican (Mr. Bloomberg) to an unabashed liberal Democrat (Mr. de Blasio.) Mr. Mastro said that by April of the first year of the Giuliani administration, many deputies and assistants had already been replaced or recruited.
The Times's analysis was based on lists compiled by city agencies, at the behest of the city's Conflicts of Interest Board. The board requires that all municipal offices, including mayor, comptroller, district attorneys and borough presidents, identify people "with substantial policy discretion, " a term that, while not specifically defined, typically applies to deputy and assistant commissioners, general counsels and division heads.
The designation is important, because under the city charter, these policy makers are barred from most political activities and must file public financial disclosure reports annually. Many of these people also make decisions on issues that do not bubble up to City Hall, but still directly affect many New Yorkers' lives: taking care of potholes, responding to health issues, looking into shoddy building conditions.
This year's lists have not yet been publicly released by the board because about 10 agencies, including the Department of Education, have yet to respond to the conflict board's requests. But it is unlikely, given the math, that the outstanding agencies will significantly alter the percentages.
In an interview, Anthony E. Shorris, the first deputy mayor, played down the significance of the lack of turnover, arguing that "change is from the top down" and clear policy differences have been established.
"I think there's pretty clear evidence that you can change direction without changing the people," he said.
Mr. de Blasio's view that government plays a significant role matches the views of a majority of city employees, Mr. Shorris said. He also urged residents to be patient as the new mayor's policies were rolled out, while adding that core services — the kinds of things that most New Yorkers notice and care about — would continue.
Mr. Shorris added, "Wasn't it Mayor LaGuardia who said, 'There's no Republican or Democratic way to pick up the garbage?' "
Lilliam Barrios-Paoli, the deputy mayor for health and human services, pointed out that making sweeping personnel changes can be counterproductive. "If you come in and clean house, you can kill yourself," Ms. Barrios-Paoli, who has worked under four mayors, said. "I don't want to change what I don't know."
But sometimes those in the vanguard of the city bureaucracy can pose a serious obstacle to change, insisting that they know better than a new mayor, leading to conflict. George Arzt, a press secretary for Mayor Edward I. Koch, recalled an instance when the mayor wanted to spend several million dollars on bike lanes. But officials in the budget office resisted, saying the city could not afford the initiative. Ultimately, Mr. Koch settled for a much smaller amount.
"There are many people who believe that they are the protectors of the public good," Mr. Arzt said. "They may yes the mayor to death but they will be reluctant to do what the mayor wants, and delay, and delay, and delay."
Even agencies that Mr. de Blasio might have been expected to overhaul by now have not undergone seismic personnel changes. At the Administration for Children's Services, about one-fourth of the 75 policy makers were not on the 2013 list. But only four are newcomers, including the commissioner; 15 were promoted or transferred from another agency under Mr. Bloomberg.
Norman Steisel, a former first deputy mayor under Mayor David N. Dinkins, said he was struck by the surge in key appointments in 2013 by Mr. Bloomberg. "I think this was Bloomberg's efforts to institutionalize his thinking and reward his people," Mr. Steisel said.
Although Civil Service rules can sometimes hamper personnel changes, Mr. Steisel said there was still much flexibility, citing his own experience turning over his entire senior staff in a year as Mr. Koch's sanitation commissioner.
Among the small pool of new policy makers, below the rank of commissioner, brought in by the de Blasio administration, no obvious patterns are evident. But government watchdogs say that, as more names come in, they will scrutinize whether Mr. de Blasio's top campaign supporters — including donors and union allies — are hired.
But a handful of early appointees stand out. Jody Adams, a special adviser at the Department of Homeless Services, worked as a senior adviser at Children's Services in the previous administration and is a former Family Court judge. She is also the wife of Carl Weisbrod, Mr. de Blasio's city planning director, and transition co-chairman.
And the Department of Education, where Mr. de Blasio has heaped much attention, could be interesting once its official list is released. One presumptive name is Christine Marinoni, the actress Cynthia Nixon's wife, who secured a $120,000 a year job as a special adviser for community partnerships.
The de Blasio administration is not the only entity required to disclose its lists. Some new officials have replaced virtually every policy maker and installed their own aides or supporters: Scott M. Stringer, the comptroller, has replaced 20 of 30; Eric L. Adams, the Brooklyn borough president, 10 of 11; and Letitia James, the public advocate, all seven.
Seth W. Pinsky, president of the Economic Development Corporation under Mr. Bloomberg, found virtue in Mr. de Blasio's approach, saying that "it's encouraging that the mayor has retained talented people."
Mr. Pinsky also said that initially he, too, "largely left the hierarchy in place." Mr. Shorris, meanwhile, said New Yorkers should give the de Blasio administration time to allow its policies, and personnel, to take root.
"I'm sure some midlevel people aren't going to buy into his agenda, and that's fine," he said. "They'll figure it out and either get on the bus or get off the bus."

You never know what you need until you live through a disaster. One of our students lived through hurricane Katrina and that is something they never want to have to see again. This student like most didn't think that it was necessary to get natural gas generators or any generators for that matter, and they said that was probably the worse thing that they could have ignored. They just thought that if they did lose power in their home, that it would be back on in no time at all. This didn't take into considerations the damage that a storm like that could actually do.
She was without power for about a month, yes I said a month. Luckily they had a neighbor and was smart enough to go out and purchase one of those small residential natural gas generators that she didn't think she needed. They had a small one, but they let them run a cord and use it to keep the refrigerator running and they could stock the house with food. They were lifesavers during that horrible time.
Why didn't she go out and get her own generator after she realized she needed one you ask? Well, she tried, but it was too late. She didn't have time to search online for portable generator reviews and all the stores that were open were sold out, she even traveled to Florida to find one, but nothing. This student searched high and low for any kind of generator. Natural gas generators, Kohler regular gas generators, solar generators, an inverter generator… nothing. The shelves were wiped clean and she was standing there looking like an idiot. She said she was willing to take anything she could get, heck she was even willing to suffer from the price gouging. No price was too big or small, no matter if it were natural gas generators, or regular, this student just wanted any kind of residential generator that would leave the whole house powered for survival.
This said that this was a huge lesson learned, and as soon as things became stable again on the gulf coast, she went right out and bought two residential natural gas generators. Yes, she said two, she wanted to make sure that she had all her bases covered if this ever happens again.
I strongly urge anyone, not only those in hurricane-prone areas to look into generators. They really are a lifesaver. You never know when you will need it, and trust me, you will be grateful for having it.
This GlobalTeacher student said she will never be caught in such a horrible situation ever again!

By Maxine Dovere
Women's health directly impacts over half the world population, and, by natural extension the rest of world. American Friends of Soroka Medical Center recently sponsored a provocative forum – "Enhancing Women's Health" – discussing issues ranging from the achievement of successful pregnancy, to the debilitating effects of osteoporosis, and wider issues around aging. Presenters were Dr. Ethel Siris and Dr. Asher Bashiri. Dr. Rebecca Amaru, a New York gynecologist and obstetrician, moderated.
Dr. Ethel Siris of New York-Presbyterian, a recognized expert on Osteoporosis who works in cooperation with Soroka Medical Center in Be'er Sheva, Israel, described osteoporosis as a silent condition that leads to easily broken bones. "Some fractures heal, some fractures make (you) shorter," she cautioned. Noting that "bones change throughout life," she cautioned that women suffer rapid loss of bone when the production of estrogen ceases post menopause. "Not only is there less bone, but the quality is altered, and falls can break a major bone."
"Ethnicity and gender are important," shared Dr. Siris. "Woman with darker pigments face a lower risk than do lighter skinned Ashkenazi women." Other isk factors include diet, exercise – or, the lack of it – smoking, and alcohol consumption.
Dr. Siris discussed the use of calcium supplements and vitamin D: "Deficiency leads to the body taking calcium from the bones." She stressed that a bone density test is "critical" to diagnosing osteoporosis. Both women (after 65) and men (after 70) should be tested.
Key factors to prevent fractures include carefully monitored medical treatment using antiresorptive and/or anabolics to "stimulate the formation of new bone." Adequate calcium and vitamin D, better gotten from food than supplements where possible, are important.
Soroka Medical Center's Dr. Asher Bashiri, Professor of Obstetrics and Gynecology, a specialist in Recurrent Pregnancy Loss, and part-time author at HMHB, held the rapt attention of his audience. RPL is an often hidden issue affecting women across all demographics.. Even the medical and clinical terms used to designate this loss have changed, he said. "The term 'abortion' is no long used to describe miscarriage."
The point of delivery at which a baby has a chance of surviving is approximately 24 weeks. Fifty percent of miscarriages are explainable: genetic abnormalities – often related to maternal age, endocrine issues, thrombosis in the fetus, or maternal anatomy. The remainder have causes not yet known. "After two incidents, we consider this a disease."
"Don't wait to get treatment; it will be worse." The doctor noted that "many first miscarriages are considered part of the cycle of normal pregnancy. If the all other factors are normal, the miscarriage could have occurred because of abnormality in the fetus."
Dr. Bashiri is a renowned expert on the use of ultrasound as a subtle diagnostic tool. He noted that Vitamin D deficiency, a factor in later-life osteoporosis, can also affect the stability of a pregnancy. Maternal obesity also increases the chance for pregnancy loss, as HMHB reports. Recurrent Pregnancy Loss, while physical, can also give rise to understandable mental health issues , especially anxiety and depression.
Dr. Bashiri has been an influential proponent of the development of the World Congress on Recurrent Pregnancy Loss. Representatives of 60 countries attended the most recent forum, ranging from Italians to Iranians to Israelis – using just one letter in the alphabet of nations.
"Do research, don't just talk." he said. "Educate."
Throughout his presentation, and in the intimate one on one conversations that followed, the doctor's professionalism, knowledge and menchlekeit – depth of humanity – were clearly visible. Dr. Bashiri believes in the science of medicine, and the art of medical hope. In informal, yet extremely informative post lecture conversations, his depth of understanding, empathy, and medical expertise were displayed as he advised a victim of multiple miscarriages on medical possibilities, and humane considerations. "Don't stop living," he counseled.
He prescribed enjoyment, caring, relaxing, and keeping one's confidence – not discussing the details of every aspect of the quest to create life with a wide range of family or friends. He stressed the need for medical excellence, awareness, and use of the most current advances in the treatment of RPL.
"Has your husband cried with you?" he gently asked, as a tear fell across a young woman's cheek. "That is important."

Athletes are aware that taking nutritional supplements can positively impact their training and performance. Benefits include enhanced strength, power, speed, and endurance as well as body weight body composition maintenance. Many athletes, however, do not know that there is one essential nutrient they may not be getting enough of; omega-3 fatty acids. Our bodies are unable to produce omega-3 fatty acids on our own; they must be obtained through dietary sources or supplements.
DHA is an essential omega-3 fatty acid that is commonly found in fish and fish oil supplements and is found in nearly every cell in the human body. DHA supports brain, eye, and heart health throughout a person's life. It represents 97% of the omega-3 fatty acids in the brain, and 93% in the eyes, plus helps maintain cardiovascular health. Additional benefits include:
Reduces Exercise-Induced Muscle Damage and Muscle Soreness:
Vigorous exercise can damage muscles causing inflammation. This can result in delayed-onset muscle soreness and impact the athlete's ability to take part in exercise training programs. Omega-3 fatty acids are effective in the prevention and treatment of exercise-induced muscle damage –significantly decreasing recovery time.
Burns Fat and Slows Muscle Loss:
Studies have shown that high levels of omega-3s in the body can promote insulin sensitivity which improves fat burning and inhibits fat storage.
Muscle Growth:
Omega-3 Fatty acids can increase protein synthesis, and studies have suggested that omega-3 fatty acids may help improve muscle strength and positively influence on muscle function.
Lowers Triglycerides:
A recent study showed that subjects who consumed omega-3 fatty acids daily had lower blood triglycerides by 14%. It also proved that DHA and Omega-3 supplements increased the good cholesterol by 10% and improved the overall functioning of blood vessel cells.*
Cardio-respiratory Functioning:
Omega-3 can help decrease heart rate and the amount of oxygen used by the body during a workout. This means that during games, your body will use up less energy when compared to competitors.
Increase Bone Strength:
Omega-3s may help to reduce the chances of bone fracture and prevent brittle bone by promoting higher bone mineral density. It has also been proven to increase calcium absorption in the body and mediate bone growth.
Fights Exercise-Induced Asthma:
Athletes are more prone to exercise-induced asthma. Regular intake of DHA can improve lung function and reduce airway inflammation, helping athletes improve certain breathing difficulties.
DHA has been shown to benefit athletes of all levels. Experts recommend taking 500 - 1000 mg per day of EPA+DHA . Brain Armor optimizes athlete performance by providing 1050 mg DHA per serving. With daily intake, you can be assured that you are getting a sufficient amount of omega-3 fatty acids in your diet. For more information about how Brain Armor works, visit our website: www.brain-armor.com.

Campo de' Fiori - Rome live cam
View of Campo de' Fiori, the market and the statue of Giordano Bruno
LIVE Trending Cams
LIVE Trending Cams
Every day since 1869, except for Sundays (that's when everyone sleeps in), Campo dè Fiori hosts Rome's most colorful and assorted market; bargaining here is a must and begins early! Wandering tourists will find flowers, fresh fruit, vegetables, meat, fish, spices and so much more.
In Ancient Rome, as uncovered evidence later revealed, the area was used as a storage by horsemen that participated in the games held at Circus Maximus. During the Middle Ages, the area was abandoned and, in its place, a field of wild flowers bloomed from which the square inherits its current name: Campo de' Fiori (literally translating into "field of flowers").
However, the plaza's fame is strongly linked to its darkest chapters; Rome's Campo de' Fiori, in fact, was used as a site for public capital executions and punishments. Among those perpetrated, the execution for heresy of Philosopher Giordano Bruno on February 17th 1600 remains the most illustrious. In the exact place of his death a bronze statue of the Philosopher – tactically facing the Vatican - dauntingly now stands. Sculpted by Ettore Ferrari, the controversial memorial (clearly visible on our live webcam) was unveiled in 1889 powerfully symbolizing freedom of thought. On the base of the statue the following inscription reads: 'To Bruno - the century predicted by him - here where the fire burned'.
When Rome's favorite market is over, the stands are cleared and Campo de' Fiori turns into a lively meeting spot for students, locals and tourists!
Get a feel of this quintessential Roman square with our webcam broadcasting live from Campo de' Fiori!
Fun facts:
The marketplace also featured the so-called Terrina (bowl) fountain, designed in 1590 by Giacomo della Porta. An inscription reading "Do good and let them talk" appeared on its surface announcing the apparent gossipy, chit-chatty nature of the piazza. The construction was taken down in 1889, only to be replaced with a copy nine years later (the original now stands in front of the so-called Chiesa Nuova). Curious eyes will also notice that Campo de' Fiori is the only square in Rome without a church!
Always a lovely busy piazza and a good band playing tonight what's not to like
Fireworks and Festivities after Midnight 2019 at the Campo de' Fiori..... Buon Anno, Roma!
What happened to the Trevi fountain cam?

% arc, I hope so! ... with that flower there, a perfect image, at least, for me it is ☺. Hope you enjoy it too! Have a good week.
@Patti, I can see your request has met favourable ears.. just a little flower left on the upper left corner :-)
Is not the campo di flori? .. I love flowers and nature ... those flowers are pretty and it does not bother me at all that they are there in the middle of the webcam and if they are going to remove them, at least leave a little flower . It will be a nice decoration to the image
This is the reply I received from Skyline Webcams:
