Aleppo 19/02/2013
Jabal Bedru neighbourhood in Eastern rebel-held Aleppo this morning. The area was leveled last night in what is thought to have been a missile strike. Local activists report 21 bodies have now been recovered, among them 12 children and 2 pregnant women. Given the extent of the destruction these numbers will probably continue to rise.

"When MT first heard that Dodge would introduce a fastback baseon on the Coronet, we were understandably apprehesive of seeing another hastily styled car, cobbled together just ofr a free ride on Detroit's current stylewagon. Our fears were allayed a full year ago by the Charger II, a one-of-a-kind show car obviouslyy built to measure public opinion. Enthusiastic reaction at four major shows as well as private samplings from, of all people, 400 mainline Philadelphians clearly indicated that all Dodge had to do was put on practical bumpers and start production.
"We roadtested the first production Charger and in eyeing it from every angle, nowhere could we find eveidence of that compromise so evident in some other recently introduced fastbacks. The interior is fully as esthetically pleasing as the exterior.
"If the price (which should hover at $3500) is right, we don't see how Dodge can miss with this car."

Weighted Subspace Random Forest for Classification.
A parallel implementation of Weighted Subspace Random Forest. The Weighted Subspace Random Forest algorithm was proposed in the International Journal of Data Warehousing and Mining by Baoxun Xu, Joshua Zhexue Huang, Graham Williams, Qiang Wang, and Yunming Ye (2012) . The algorithm can classify very high-dimensional data with random forests built using small subspaces. A novel variable weighting method is used for variable subspace selection in place of the traditional random variable sampling.This new approach is particularly useful in building models from high-dimensional data.

USA Powerlifting, the National Governing Body for the sport of Powerlifting in the United States has announced today the adoption of a blanket ban forbidding transgender athletes from participating in USAPL sanctioned events.
The move is surprising given that other Olympic National Governing Bodies (USA Hockey, Scottish Athletics), the NCAA, the IOC, Crossfit, and other organizations have been moving forward in adopting policies that are more inclusive for transgender athletes. As the world of sports continue to evolve, more transgender athletes are participating and scientific reports (Reeser, 2005), (Jones, Arcelus, Bouman, Haycraft, 2017) that increase our understanding of the physiological effects of hormone replacement therapy have on the body. It is a step back, based on outdated science, stereotypes, and conscious ignorance regarding the participation of transgender athletes in sports.
The new policy explains the ban in two parts…
"The first has to do with the use of testosterone or other androgens, commonly used to assist in transition from female to male. By virtue of the anabolic nature of these compounds, they are not allowed, nor is a Therapeutic Use Exemption granted for such use for anyone. This applies to any and all medical conditions which might be treated through use of androgens.
The second area involves the participation of male to female competitors. Through analysis the impact of maturation in the presence naturally occurring androgens as the level necessary for male development, significant advantages are had, including but not limited to increased body and muscle mass, bone density, bone structure, and connective tissue. These advantages are not eliminated by reduction of serum androgens such as testosterone yielding a potential advantage in strength sports such as powerlifting."
The USAPL isn't exactly working on modern science to base their policies as much as they are on age old opinions, stereotypes and myths. However, it does show that much more education and research is needed in order to develop policy that handles these arguments in a way that is productive, educational and inclusive. Which is why organizations such as USA Hockey, Scottish Athletics, NCAA, Crossfit and the IOC have adopted inclusive policies for the participation of transgender athletes. Even USA Weightlifting, which is a similar organization to USA Powerlifting but focuses on the slightly different sport of Olympic Weightlifting has a transgender inclusion policy, albiet it needs a little work itself. It is still more progressive and inclusive compared to USAPL's blanket ban which is simply trying to avoid the issue.
A full on blanket ban is rooted in ignorance that limits the possibilities of furthering our knowledge and understanding of these issues. While the USAPL has decided to take a step back, the United States Powerlifting Association which is another organization that sanctions competitive powerlifting events in the United States has a more trans inclusive policy on their books that is designed to help encourage inclusion and participation. While it still needs more development, the USPA is leading the way toward inclusion of transgender athletes in Powerlifting. Through participation, we can shape policies that are more inclusive for transgender, intersex, and non-binary athletes that ensure a fair playing field for everyone.
Stay tuned, we will have an exclusive article with an openly trans powerlifter who will share her story in competing for USPA and her experiences trying to compete at the USAPL, including her perspectives and experiences on the ban!

The issue with this course happens within the second week. The first quiz of the second covers material not discussed in the video lectures, not in the required reading, not in the optional reading, and there are no suggestions on how to/where to find this information. As I continued along with the course all the quizzes were the same way. A 4 question quiz should not take several hours of internet searching and several attempts over many days just to pass the quiz. I have my degree from a real university and any quiz was based on material we learned and had the materials to learn information. The beginning of this course is seriously lacking in information so as to provide the student with a reasonable opportunity to pass.

Many of the week two quizzes and tests are based on information that is not in the lectures nor reading materials. I listen to the lectures and they have limited detail, and the quizzes are focused on very historical or detailed questions. I am spending the majority of my time in this week researching on line to try and find resources that i can learn from. This is not how i would like to take a course - my hope is to learn from lectures and be given reading assignments that i can study and learn from. I am hesitant to drop the class because i have invested so much time on it and wanted to get the certificate of completion - but the amount of time i am investing is not worth the payout. The teacher is very earnest and i believe he knows his subject matter well.

A great historical overview of technological development that led up to the establishment of Internet of Things. Some concepts are flown over too fast, so if you don't have prior familiarity with them, they may be difficult to fully grasp, but educating students on every single concept that led to the IoT in depth is not the intention of the course anyways, and would take a lot longer than 2 weeks. I recommend noting down all interesting technical discoveries, principles, concepts etc. mentioned and doing some further exploration and study for one's own satisfaction, but as an overview of all tech development, and an overview of what IoT is and its applications, this course did a great job in my opinion!

Big Life Foundation Update
For those of you who aren't familiar with artist Nick Brandt's Big Life Foundation, please take a moment and read his latest update to find out how you can help stop the gangs of African poachers in the Amboseli.
|Big Life Rangers & Newly Acquired Vehicles, December 2010
For twenty years, one poacher and his gang in Tanzania have been systematically poaching many of the Amboseli region's elephants. The authorities have never been able to catch him. But thanks to Big Life & KWS, his poaching days are now over:
Seven weeks ago, you received my last newsletter. I reported a continued escalation in poaching, another eight elephants killed in the Amboseli area alone in just 16 days. This included the old bull called Magna, whose broken tusks were so small, it showed that no elephant was safe from the poachers' bullets and poison.
Based on a tip-off from one of Big Life's informers, Kenya Wildlife Service successfully intercepted the poaching gang responsible for the killing of Magna and many other elephants in the Amboseli ecosystem and Tanzania over the last twenty years. A firefight had ensued, during which two of the poachers were killed, but the leader of the poaching gang escaped with wounds over the border back into Tanzania.
The Kenyan authorities were not able to communicate as quickly as necessary with the authorities in Tanzania. At this point, Big Life's strategy - of coordinated teamwork between our teams in Kenya and Tanzania - came into play. The Big Life team in Tanzania WAS able to respond, and immediately.
Critical information from one of Big Life's informers in Kenya was passed on to the team in Tanzania from Honeyguide Foundation, our partner there. They were able to track down the gang leader, and with the help our network of informers there, followed him for a number of days. At the appropriate, safe moment, the Big Life/Honeyguide team brought in the Tanzanian police, who made the arrest. The gang leader now awaits extradition to Kenya, where he should receive a long prison sentence.
This poacher and his gang have been organizing and killing elephants for TWENTY YEARS, including what must be many of the elephants photographed in my books. But the authorities were never able to pin anything on him. Within three months of being established, Big Life has succeeded in breaking up the worst of the three main poaching gangs operating along the Amboseli region Kenya/Tanzania border.
This great success could not have been possible without the generosity of our donors who helped us purchase critical vehicles and equipment, hire anti-poaching teams, and develop our network of informers and associates.
Things are also going well with the capture of other poachers: In both Kenya and Tanzania in recent separate incidents, several poachers with newly-killed giraffe meat were arrested by Big Life rangers on night patrols.
As a result of Big Life's efforts, there have been ZERO reports of any elephants being killed on either the Kenyan or Tanzanian sides of the border in the last six weeks. We have quickly sent out a strong, effective message to poachers that killing wildlife now carries a much greater risk of being arrested.
Of course, Big Life has invested a large amount of money establishing its teams in order to make a difference fast. We have achieved that goal, and we know our work is having an impact. However,there are still over two million acres to protect in the Amboseli ecosystem, and we have a long way to go financially to achieve SUSTAINABLE operations in both countries across this area.
To achieve our mission, Big Life must build and man a significant number of additional anti-poaching camps, with accompanying patrol vehicles and equipment. Our goal is a total of 160 rangers and scouts in 18 camps across the ecosystem. We are about halfway to that goal, and can get there with your help.
We're not just attempting to protect the elephants, but also the diminishing populations of lions, giraffes, zebra and other plains animals also being hunted by the poachers. We may have brought down the most active of the three gangs operating along the Kenya-Tanzanian border of Amboseli, but there are the other two known gangs there, and all the other poachers operating in the other areas of this vast region. While the demand for ivory and all the other animal parts remain, there will be many who cannot resist the fast, easy profits to be made out of killing these irreplaceable creatures. With your help, we will be there to stop them, and allow the animals to flourish in peace once again.
Please donate generously to help continue our success:
Thanks again for your support.

Ex-steel workers recall sad day plant closed
The Vindicator
A former steel worker said the job was harder than his tour of duty in Vietnam.
By NANCY TULLIS
YOUNGSTOWN — Their numbers are dwindling and their hair a little more gray, but the former employees of Youngstown Sheet & Tube's Campbell Seamless Pipe Mill are still a family.
About 50 former employees met Thursday night at Nancy's Place on Shady Run Road for what they bill as the annual Seamless Spaghetti Dinner.
The steel workers produced steel for a variety of industries, but the mill's bread and butter was producing seamless steel pipes of all sizes for oil pipelines, the largest as big as telephone poles in diameter and 50 feet long.
The mill closed in 1986 and the former employees, hourly and salaried workers alike, have gathered each Christmas season since 1988 to catch up on the latest news and recall the days when steel was the heartbeat of Youngstown; days when men worked beside their fathers and brothers and cousins and uncles and grandfathers.
It was hot, grimy, disgusting, but honest work that put food on the table and college diplomas into their children's hands. No one could imagine Youngstown without steel, but in August 1986, that day came for the seamless mill.
"We keep in touch and tell the old stories," said John Judin of Coitsville. He worked in the mill 17 years and has been in the insurance business for 20.
"It was a good-paying job with security at the time, and work we never thought we'd be without," Judin said. "And then we watched as the loss of steel devastated Youngstown."
The last shift
Paul Popovich of Boardman had nearly 30 years in on the day the seamless mill shut down. He was among about 30 workers on the midnight shift who were told that when they finished the order they were working on — 9 5/8-inch pipe — they would be done.
Popovich said the workers on that shift would often go across the street to Rocky's Tavern at Valley View on their lunch break. So when they were finished at 7 a.m., they went to Rocky's.
"It was a sad day," Popovich said. "We went in there and we were all crying. Rocky gave us all breakfast — whatever we wanted — on the house."
Jimmy Eiland of Youngstown's East Side worked in the mill for 15 years then got hired at the GM Assembly Plant in Lordstown after he was laid off from the mill.
He said he applied to work in the steel mill because "back then it was the only thing going on."
Eiland said although he is on a first-name basis with his Lordstown co-workers, it's nothing like the close-knit family atmosphere of the steel mill.
"We all knew each other and our families, and we went places together outside of work," he said.
Ray Hanuscak of Campbell said the workers took care of one another in the steel mill because pay was based on work output. The pay depended on all the steel workers' pulling together and encouraging one another to keep going in the tough times.
How hard it was
They remembered working summer days when it felt cool outside because it was so much hotter in the mill. They would be covered in sulfur and graphite that rained down on them, and they would flood the floor to keep cool.
Tony Tisler of Youngstown's West Side said he worked in the mill from 1969 to 1982, starting when he returned from a 13-month tour of Vietnam with the Marines.
Tisler, known as "Buffalo," worked a billet roller, turning the steel as it came out of the furnace. The work was worse than Vietnam, he said.
Mike Carney of Campbell worked in the mill for 28 years, retired, then worked 18 more as a United Steelworkers of America international representative.
He said the employees of the seamless mill were members of United Steelworkers of America Local 1418, which was 3,400 strong.
Carney said working later as a union representative was very rewarding. "I felt like I did a lot of good for a lot of people," he said. "The work was hard, but you did the job, and raised your kids. It was a way of life."
1 comment:
I worked at Youngstown Sheet and Tube in the Hot Strip mill. I walked across Campbell Bridge one day with allot of other folk that would never return. We were met at the end of the bridge by a herd of TV and newspaper reporters. I remember one older Polish man who had a tear in his eye and a young reporter trust a microphone in his direction and asked, "What it feel like to loose you job?". He looked at her and almost took a swing at her but just brushed her away. I knew him well he had worked ther for about 20 years. I was young and he had taken me under his wing and helped me learn the mill work and prevent me from being hurt many times. But that day was tough. He had three kids in college and wondered how he would make it without much education himself. I was lucky since I was young and eventually made my way to Florida and a new life. I still to this day wonder what happend to him and his family. Funny how some things stay in your mind. That was a sad day for Youngstown. I think they call it Black Tuesday. But life goes on. Good luck everyone.

be kind to animals week
After a full day of school, the ten-year-old, brown-haired girl filled the two dog dishes with kibble and sprinkled water to coat and soften the food and gave a head scratch to each pup as they began to eat. Next, she went to the three rabbit hutches, and refilled food pans and water bottles as needed. She also scooped the cat box every other day and refilled her calico furry friend's dishes. This was her job – caring for the small animals on the 14-acre Iowa farm.
That girl was me. From age seven, when the cat followed me home and I begged my parents to keep her, the care for the family pets became mine (overseen by the adults, of course). At a young age, I learned pet ownership responsibility – and kindness toward animals. Dogs were part of my growing up years, but, like many young children, I also had turtles and goldfish. Although my parents took care of the dogs at first, my mother modeled caring for the turtles and goldfish until I learned to feed them by myself. As I grew older, and especially after the blessing of the calico cat whom I named Precious, the pet care shifted to me.
The is Be Kind to Animals Week. Kindness is a learned, modeled trait. There are numerous people, including children, who are NOT kind to animals and NOT kind toward other human beings. Animal cruelty exists in many forms, from neglect and abuse to dog fighting and torture. The national organization, American Humane, began during the early 1900s; they started Be Kind to Animals Week, geared toward children and families. The American Society for Prevention of Cruelty to Animals started even before American Humane in response to horses used to pull carriages almost to the point of death. Together, these organizations, along with the Humane Society of the United States and the Humane Society International, promote kindness toward animals, putting a stop to animal cruelty, and pet ownership responsibility.
We can all show greater kindness, and we can all do something to educate others about kindness, not only toward animals but toward one another. Education is the key. If you're an animal lover, speak out about cruelty and abuse. If you're a parent or grandparent, model kindness to your kids and grandkids and teach them pet ownership responsibility. Kids mimic what they see and hear – show them that kindness makes a difference in the lives of pets and other animals, as well as in the lives of people.
The late Glen Campbell had a music hit called "Try a Little Kindness." This world needs more kindness. Let's start together, in light of this special week. Volunteer or donate at your local rescue mission, animal shelter, women's shelter, daycare center, or pet rescue organization. Take the kids with you and make it a family endeavor. Ask the kids to help care for your pets at home, take Fido for a walk or to the dog park, spend time petting and playing with the cat. There are many ways to show and model kindness – let's all be a little kinder this week, even more the week after that and the week after that. Kindness shown is kindness appreciated – and often kindness shared. Animals and people are the same this way – they need kindness in their lives. Let's be the ones to give it, teach it, and pass it on.
This is a great week to celebrate -- I recently wrote and published a new children's book, and the timing couldn't be better. It's Children's Book Week, and next week is Be Kind to Animals Week. (Additionally, Monday, April 30 was Adopt a Shelter Pet Day).
From Lassie and Max the dogs, to Dewey and Skippyjon Jones the cats, animals have played a role in books, TV, and movies for generations. Do you remember your favorite animal book, TV or movie from childhood?
Mine was "Follow My Leader," written during the 1950s but still a part of school libraries during the 1960s and 1970s when I grew up. The primary human character, Jimmy, becomes blind after a firecracker incident. He learns to rely upon a German Shepherd guide dog named Leader, who breaks down Jimmy's emotional walls as well as helps escort him in this new reality of blindness.
For eons, animals have helped people, being used for hauling, protection, hunting, and rodent control, among so many other situations. These days, animals are used for therapy, in military service, as guide animals, and search and rescue animals, as well as companionship. Children especially respond well to dogs, cats, and other animals. Reading about animals is also a joy for many children, and so this week we celebrate kids, books, kindness and pets in honor of Children's Book Week and Be Kind to Animals Week.
As a writer of inspirational pet stories for children and adults, it's my joy to share the wonder of animals, especially companions like dogs and cats. And, it's my special pleasure to announce the publication of my newest children's book "Jeremiah Finds a Home," the story of my rescued, adopted Shih Tzu, Jeremiah. He lived in a puppy mill for three years, was rescued by Hearts United for Animals in 2016, and was adopted by me and my husband in late 2017. Although it took time for him to adjust to his new home and very own family, Jeremiah is a joyful dog who makes us all smile. My goal is to teach children and families about puppy mills, the importance of rescue, and the joy of pet adoption. The book is available on Amazon, and you can learn more about the story (told non-graphically) on my website.
There is much cruelty in the world, toward people, including children, and to pets. Kindness must be taught and modeled to kids. We as adults can, and should, do it. Pets do showcase kindness, and exposing children to therapy pets and read-to-the-dog programs at schools and libraries will help instill kindness as well. Books can also be a catalyst of kindness through subtle messages woven into the story. Just as Leader the dog in "Follow My Leader" showcases kindness toward the blind boy, Jimmy, or Lassie to Timmy, children learn compassion, kindness, friendship and other great lessons from pet books (and movies – think of how the animals helped each other in the "Homeward Bound" story).
As we celebrate children, books, pets, and kindness these next few weeks, model positive traits to your kids and read to them stories that showcase those characteristics, too. We can all impact the lives of children and the lives of animals in positive, caring ways.
What was your favorite animal book, movie or TV show and why? Leave your thoughts in the comments below.
My pets are characters in many of my stories. In the new book about Jeremiah, the Shih Tzu, the story is told from the dog's point-of-view. Mary, my cocker/ springer mix, has two books about her, including visiting a ranch and encountering different animals there.
Be Kind to Animals Week overlaps with Children's Book Week. Kids can learn kindness to animals via reading. They also learn kindness through observation and interaction. During this special time, we can encourage children, other adults, as well as ourselves to be a bit kinder … and to read more.
There are many wonderful books available for children about animals. Within those pages, they can learn how to take care of animals as well as how pets take care of people. For a listing of great children's books about pets, visit http://dogtime.com/dog-health/general/5877-top-10-kid-friendly-pet-books and http://www.amazon.com/Best-Sellers-Books-Childrens-Pet/zgbs/books/2853.
"Teach the children well," are words in a Crosby, Stills and Nash song (see a YouTube video at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ztVaqZajq-I). Teaching children kindness toward people and pets offers great rewards for those kids, including opportunity to do good in a community and the opportunity to make new friends. In fact, according to a research study called Kindness Counts, "When kids performed acts of kindness or took notice of the pleasant places they visited, their happiness quotient increased ... (and) … they gained an average of 1.5 friends during the month-long period" (see related article at http://www.rootsofaction.com/art-kindness-teaching-children-care/).
What are some ways we can be kind to pets and people, and how can we more greatly instill kindness in others, including children? The list of ideas is endless, but here are some suggestions:
Open the Floodgates of Kindness!

The annual "Be Kind to Animals Week," sponsored by the American Humane Association, is May 3 – 9, 2015. It's been 100 years since the creation of this specially-designated week. It's a week that provides parents, communities, and animal welfare organizations with opportunities to encourage kindness in children ... as well as adults.
Here are five ways to be kind to animals not only during this special week, but all throughout the year:
Open the floodgates of kindness toward pets and people during Be Kind to Animals Week and let it continue throughout your lifetime, teaching children empathy and compassion, and thereby impacting their lives -- and yours -- for the better.
It's Be Kind to Animals Week, a time set aside by the American Humane Association and other organizations to promote kindness to animals. This is a great time to reinforce to children the importance of kindness, not only to animals, but also to other people.
In this day and age of bullying, child neglect, anger, violence and other issues, re-inforcing the concept of kindness is critical. Children are vulnerable, children are teachable – they often emulate what they witness in adults within the sphere of influence.
Therefore, we adults need to take stock not only in how we treat our kids, but also how we treat other adults and how we interact with pets in our own household, as well as within our community.
The ASPCA (American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals) offers some tips for celebrating Be Kind to Animals Week with children. For example, you and your kids can volunteer together at a local shelter or rescue. Although you may not be able to walk dogs, you can hold a bake sale or a collection drive, taking in donations of money and items necessary to run the shelter. Inquire at your local humane society or animal shelter (1) what their volunteer guidelines are and/or (2) what items they currently need. Another idea: spend time together as a family with your own pet – take a walk, play in the park, or toss a ball in your backyard for awhile. Pets need social interaction with their human families; remember to take good care of your pets and involve your children in that care. Your children may want to start a Kind Club with their friends and develop projects to help the homeless animals of your community.
Every year, nearly 7 million animals enter shelters across this nation. What can you and your family do to help these homeless creatures and the people who care for them? You and your children can positively impact your community, and therefore, the nation, by showing kindness to animals, and to other people.

"Teach your children well," are part of the lyrics of a Crosby, Stills and Nash song. Those are words we can all live by, so let's teach our children, and ourselves, to be kind to others, both animals and people – when we do, we can all live in a better world.

One tiny, little, peculiar detail I just learned:
Batton Bones are prominent throughout "Challenger from the Future." These X-series mechaniloids completely replaced the Batton (Bubble Bat). Only a rare 30-year old Batton can be found in X1, Armored Armadillo's stage. This obscure Bandai-made game implies a time of co-existance for the two, right in the middle of the series interim.
Btw, I may write up an elaborate section on the Sigma Virus some time later.

As well as being a Rebirther I am also a Transpersonal Psychotherapist in training and I incorporate my psychotherapeutic knowledge into the Breathwork practice. Working with the breath, I believe it is better to do a little less rather than to push the client too far. I let the breath take over and I follow it attentively.
When we practise Rebirthing Breathwork we enter onto a powerful and intimate journey. I offer a free one hour consultation to all prospective clients. In this time, you can tell me about your life, hopes and desires, about your motivation to do Breathwork. I can tell you about the way I work and answer any questions that you may have. We both have a chance to decide if we would like to work together. Every following session is a full Breathwork session and lasts two hours.

Likewise, consume a diet rich in fiber, folic acid (folate), omega-3 fatty acids, and vitamins B12, C, and E. These nourishing substances reduce the odds of stone formation by protecting against constipation and correcting nutritional deficiencies linked to gallstones.
Maintaining an ideal body weight is also vital for preventing gallstones. Both obesity and a precipitous drop in weight are strongly associated with gallstone production. When dieting, aim for a gradual, one to two pound loss per week to avoid a rapid drop in weight.
Finally, drink plenty of fluids, particularly six to eight glasses of water per day, to maintain adequate water content of the bile. Peppermint tea can be useful for the pain of a gallbladder attack, because peppermint helps relax spasms of the smooth muscle lining, the gallbladder, and bile ducts. In addition, robust plant compounds known as terpenes are plentiful in peppermint and are thought to have a gallstone-dissolving effect.
fiber, insoluble Because individuals with chronic constipation are at an increased risk for gallstone formation, insoluble fiber may help to prevent gallstones by promoting regularity. Leading Food Sources of fiber, insoluble: Figs, Rice, brown, Peas, fresh, Prunes, Wheat, Beans, dried, Raisins & Currants
fiber, soluble Soluble fiber, particularly pectin, may be helpful in preventing and dissolving gallstones. Psyllium, an excellent source of soluble fiber, binds to the cholesterol in bile and can help prevent gallstone formation. In addition, psyllium will help prevent constipation, a condition associated with increased gallstone formation. Leading Food Sources of fiber, soluble: Carrots, Peas, fresh, Beans, dried, Oats, Barley, Apples
folic acid Considered a lipotropic factor, folic acid is believed to accelerate the removal of fat from the liver by influencing the metabolism of fat. Leading Food Sources of folic acid: Asparagus, Beets, Broccoli, Avocados, Bok choy, Chick-peas, Soybeans, Lentils, Oranges, Peas, fresh, Turkey, Cabbage, Savoy, Spinach, Beans, dried, Brussels sprouts
omega-3 fatty acids Try to eat oily fish at least once a week. Animal studies have shown that a diet rich in omega-3 fatty acids can have a protective effect against the development of gallstones. Leading Food Sources of omega-3 fatty acids: Salmon, Trout, Tuna
vitamin B12 Similar to folic acid, vitamin B12 is a lipotropic factor that reduces the risk of gallstones by affecting lipid metabolism and accelerating fat removal from the liver. Leading Food Sources of vitamin B12: Beef, Clams, Trout, Crab, Oysters, Tuna, Lamb, Yogurt
vitamin C Deficiencies of this potent antioxidant vitamin have been linked to gallstone formation in animals. Vitamin C appears to lower the amount of cholesterol in bile, making secretions from the liver less likely to clump together and form stones. Leading Food Sources of vitamin C: Cabbage, red, Oranges, Tangerines & other mandarins, Peppers, bell, red, Kiwi fruit, Potatoes, Strawberries
vitamin E Like vitamin C, inadequate circulating levels of vitamin E have been linked to the development of gallstones. This important vitamin reduces the likelihood of stone formation by lowering levels of cholesterol in bile. Leading Food Sources of vitamin E: Broccoli, Sunflower seeds, Brazil nuts, Peanuts, Almonds, Mangoes, Avocados

Attention all military parents! Want to send your kids to summer camp but facing an obstacle?
Maybe it's the cost of getting them there. As a parent of two kids who are getting more involved in activities, I feel the pain of shelling out big bucks to let them participate in memorable experiences with their peers.
Maybe they don't feel connected to kids who have been part of the same community and friends group their entire lives. Military kids deal with frequent relocations, having to say goodbye to friends, schools, and things they know.
Maybe you just don't have time to find a camp, make sure it's a good fit for your family, and get all of the registration paperwork in. Military members often work long hours, even when they're not deployed. For those on deployment, the time difference can make it almost impossible to connect with organizations back home.
The National Military Family Association works to strengthen military families and they recognize that one of the best ways to do that is to support military kids. Their Operation Purple Camp program "offers military kids a free week of camp where they connect with other kids, just like them."
Children of parents in the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps, Coast Guard, National Guard, and the Commissioned Corps of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and U.S. Public Health Service are all invited to apply. Camps are located all around the United States (including Alaska and Hawaii!) and are usually facilitated by an existing summer camp organization which has agreed to be a part of the program.
Camp dates, ages, and application deadlines vary based on the availability and resources of the partner camp location.
According to their website, Operation Purple Camps have helped 62,000 military kids attend summer camp since they began in 2004. So if you have a military kid who wants to canoe, swim, climb obstacles, do arts and crafts, and most important, make lifelong friends that can support them in their role as a military kid, check out Operation Purple Camps.

Last year daughter Robyn gave me two lilac bushes for Mother's Day. They were maybe 8 inches tall at most. I watched them closely all summer, kept them watered and prayed the deer would not find them.
I am happy to report they survived the winter, which is more than I can say for the lantana that I covered with leaves as instructed. But that is a different story. One lilac bush is much smaller than the other this year for some reason. But, the most exciting thing is they both have delicate lavender flowers on them, however tiny. It is not the size that counts here.
The Man of the House has been scrutinizing the backyard. That's how he looks when he is getting mentally prepared to launch into some kind of artistic project. He would like to plant another deciduous tree back there but can't find the perfect spot.
I tell him we should wait to see what the two maples he planted last fall look like when they come out in leaf. My vote is to get as large of a redbud tree as we afford. We had one in our backyard in Winesburg that gave us much joy over the years. I planted it as a twig in 1992, given to me by my friend Sandy when she moved from Wooster to North Carolina. It grew to be quite impressive and provided many baby trees to share.
We should really wait until we get a pickup truck to buy anything large to haul, but the trail for that has grown cold in our search at the moment. The one we took to our mechanic to inspect had several things wrong and it has been ruled out for the time being. In the meantime, we are still getting calls from the car dealers we visited who want to sell us something new.
I must tell you about my latest computer scare. It happened right after I got home from my 10 days in South Carolina when I was checking all the emails that had piled up. I noticed one in the spam folder that said "USPS mail undeliverable." I thought that was strange but made the mistake of clicking on it anyhow.
That caused an instant response of flashing lights, lots of other things going on that shouldn't be, and in the middle of the screen some words to the effect that I had just gotten a virus, or Trojan horse, or some such animal. It gave a phone number to call to get out of the mess and said to NOT turn off my computer.
Having fallen for such a stunt a couple years ago that cost us money, I knew better this time. Instead I called our Internet Tech friend Caleb who told me what to do and all was well. Whew!
Last night I was trying to type a short email to Robyn to give her the good news about the lilac bushes when I could no longer type any words. That usually means I need new batteries in my keyboard so I changed them. Then the mouse could not move the cursor. So, I changed batteries in the mouse. Then I could not turn the tower off and the monitor said it was going into sleep mode.
After messing with this for awhile it was time to go to our evening service at church. When we got home the computer was healed. Why, I do not know. But I was convinced the problem had something to do with the virus attack. Maybe that had nothing to do with it, but now I am nervous.
Sad to say, like some people who are addicted to their smartphones, I am dependent on my computer.

Qualifications:Civilian Krav Maga Instructor
Fighting- & Selfdefense Skills:Krav Maga since 2012
Some boxing, kickboxing, and mixed martial arts training
I started training in Krav Maga after an incident in 2011 which convinced me that the martial arts I had previously trained in did not translate into real-world self defence. From my first lesson in Krav Maga, I was fascinated by the practicality and logic of the techniques, which are based on natural reactions and designed to work in real life situations. I am pleased to say that in three instances since starting Krav Maga, I have used the principles, tactics and techniques taught in class to effectively deal with dangerous situations.

Climate diplomats push back against Trump victory
By Agence France-Presse
Stunned participants at UN climate talks in Marrakesh insisted Wednesday that climate change denier Donald Trump cannot derail the global shift to clean energy, although some called his victory in US presidential elections a "disaster".
Trump "cannot prevent the implementation" of the landmark Paris pact, inked in the French capital last December, said Segolene Royal, France's environment minister and outgoing head of the UN climate forum.
"As I speak, 103 countries representing 70 percent of (greenhouse gas) emissions have ratified it, and he cannot — contrary to his assertions — undo the Paris Agreement," she told French radio station RTL.
Trump has described global warming as a "hoax" perpetrated by the Chinese government, and has said at different times that he would "renegotiate" or "cancel" the 196-nation deal.
Royal noted that under the terms of the agreement, the United States must wait at least three years before seeking to withdraw.
Diplomats and business leaders invested in moving the global economy from fossil fuels to renewables hope the gathering momentum of that transition will carry the United States with it, regardless of Trump's views.
"President-elect Donald Trump has been the source of a lot of bluster on climate change over the last year," Hilda Heine, President of the storm-ravaged Marshall Islands, said in a statement.
"But now that the election campaign has passed and the realities of leadership settle in, I expect he will realise that climate change is a threat to his people and to whole countries which share seas with the US, including my own."
Christiana Figueres, UN climate chief for six years until this summer, said Trump must realise that rapidly phasing out coal, oil and gas "is good for the US economy, for jobs, for growth."
Some green groups were far less diplomatic in their reaction to the surprise outcome of the US vote.
"Trump's election is a disaster, but it cannot be the end of the international climate process," said May Boeve, executive director of 350.rog, a global group pushing for divestment from fossil fuels.
"Our work becomes much harder now, but it's not impossible, and we refuse to give up hope."

Last year, 106.5 million people tuned in to watch the Saints and Colts in Super Bowl XLIV. That broadcast broke the record for the most viewership which was previously held by the finale of the show "MASH". There will be a projected 110 million viewers for Super Bowl XLV.
Women account for approximately 34% of viewers during the regular season. But on Super Bowl Sunday that percentage is obviously higher as some women who don't have a real interest in the game tune in for the entertainment, commercials and to simply be part of the experience. While it is hard for us to understand why a woman would not be watching the Super Bowl for the sheer fun and excitement that occurs on the field, we do acknowledge some women really don't have an interest in football. With that in mind, we are providing a guide to today's pre- game and half time entertainment. Later this week, we will do a review of the best and worst of Super Bowl XLV's commercials. As you prepare for the game, we also wanted to share our very favorite Sangria recipe for those fans who want a departure from beer.
Prior to the game, Fox News host Bill O'Reilly will conduct an interview with President Barack Obama. O'Reilly is billing the interview as "the most watched interview in history. More people will see this interview than any other interview that's ever been done in the history of mankind." It's hard to say if all 110 million viewers will tune in to see the O'Reilly-Obama interview, but it should make for an interesting pre-game battle between two very opposing forces! Here is the rest of today's entertainment, but of course we believe the best show takes place on the field at kick off time – 6:30 pm ET on Fox!
Pre-game entertainment will include performances by the Blue Man Group, Maroon 5 and Keith Urban. Glee's Leah Michele will sing "America the Beautiful" and the National Anthem will be sung by 5-time Grammy Award winner Christina Aguilera.
The half time show will feature the Black Eyed Peas, with "surprise" appearances by singer Usher and guitarist Slash from Guns n' Roses.
A slate of diverse and high quality entertainment… a few hours of funny, clever commercials… and oh, by the way, a thrilling football game in between… is the recipe for a perfect day and a gridiron fan's dream! As you enjoy today's festivities, we hope you will also enjoy our Red Zone Sangria!
Red Zone Sangria
For one pitcher of Sangria, use the following ingredients
1 lime
1 lemon
1 orange
1 apple
Red grapes
3 Tablespoons of sugar
½ bottle of full bodied red wine
1 Tablespoon of lemon juice
Ice cubes
Orange soda
Ginger Ale
½ cup orange flavored liqueur or brandy (I prefer to use Triple Sec)
Slice the fruits (lemon, lime, orange, apple, grapes) and place in pitcher with the liqueur, brandy, or Triple Sec. Let stand a minimum of 30 minutes. Add the wine and lemon juice and stir. Let the mixture stand for 30 minutes more.
Before serving, add the ice cubes and fill the pitcher with equal amounts of orange soda and ginger ale. Garnish with red grapes and enjoy!

Needham analyst Laura Martin raised her rating for Trade Desk shares to Buy from Hold.
Shares of The Trade Desk Inc. are up more than 5% in premarket trading Friday after Needham's Laura Martin upgraded the stock to buy from hold while setting a $325 target price. She argues that ad unit availability in the U.S. could fall by 10% in 2020 due to declining viewership of linear televsion, but that demand for U.S. ad units will climb by 10%, creating a favorable pricing environment. "Ad units should see unprecedented pricing power in 2020," she wrote. "TTD is the largest buyer of ad units in the open internet (including connected TV), and takes a 20% revenue share of ad dollars spent on its platform." TTD shares have climbed 107% so far this year, as the S&P 500 has increased 24%.

text: Portugal 2017: Facts and Tips When Renting a Campervan for Your Trip Driving tour is the greatest adventure when you want to explore a new city or country you're visiting. Hiring a campervan in Portugal allows you to just park it at the side of the road or any vacant lot if you need to rest or eat, and it negates finding a hotel or villa to stay. In a campervan, you have all that you need like a bed, entertainment appliances, cooking facilities, and other motorhomes come with WiFi access, built-in GPS devices, and other advanced features. Portugal is a perfect destination to do camping because of its conducive climate for this type of activity, and if worse things happen like breaking down in the middle of nowhere, the rental company is responsible for helping you and getting you back on track. If you decide to rent a motorhome in Portugal, you must choose a camper basing on the size of your family, friends, group or party, and all of you can just divide the cost among yourselves. As compared to hotel accommodation, renting a campervan is really cheaper, plus you have the benefit of going in different places every minute or every hour of everyday. You can rent a motorhome if you have not tried camping before so you get to experience the fun and excitement of Portugal camping adventures. You will get to see a lot of things and places in Portugal if you will hire a motorhome, so you can see the beautiful mountains and fabulous castles upon the clifftops of Douro Valley. In Peneda-Geres, you can find the only national park of Portugal, which is a perfect place for camping. You are free to park your campervan by the beach without any charge and camp out anytime you want, totally enjoying Portugal's coastline under the heat of the sun, and the cool waves of the sea. There are so many things you can do along the coastline of Portugal like cliffs and caves exploration, water sports activities and pure relaxation, while staying close to your motorhome. One of the famous places in Portugal is Algarve, with many tourist hotspots, but you can still have your own private place with your campervan as you explore the inland gradually and park on less tourists-populated areas. Portuguese wines are a great alternative to French wines with a reasonable price, and you can enjoy wine tasting in Portugal all you want, just make sure to assign a driver who is not going to drink to have a sober driver when you leave. There are many campgrounds in Portugal, where you can meet new friends, share stories and enjoy each other companies.Questions About Services You Must Know the Answers To

Walking the Talk: Adding Value to the Higher Education Experience Through Innovative Technology Enhanced Learning

This paper examines the results of a research project the focus of which was the use of digital technologies in the higher education classroom through the lens of adding value. Multi-phase qualitative research carried out with bachelor-degree students (n=17), teaching faculty (n=20), administrative, and pedagogical services personnel (n=9) shows a certain incoherence in the manner in which technology is either viewed or used to enhance the overall learning experience. This highlights the need for scaffolding for both the students and the educators and more importantly supports the idea that change really needs to be driven by the institute in order that technology enhanced learning fulfils the promise of adding value to education today.
