Yep, I agree with Linda.
I was lucky to find my lump, early, with self examination.
I would encourage self examination, pluss mammograms.Have a mamogram annually, at least from age 40, earlier, if there is family history.
Also, mammograms can hurt, let's face it...I find taking pain killers half an hour beforehand helps.
Also, do your best to be supportive for people going through treatment for cancer.
That means, no free advice, just cuppas, maybe offering lifts to tests and treatment, being good company.It can be very lonely, so many people run...maybe they think cancer is infectious?
You've probably heard that there are new mammogram guidelines from the American Cancer Society that just came out on October 20, 2015.
The guidelines include:
- Women with an average risk of breast cancer — most women — should begin yearly mammograms at age 45.
- At age 55, women should have mammograms every other year, though women who want to keep having yearly mammograms should be able to do so.
- Regular mammograms should continue for as long as a woman is in good health and their life expectancy is an additional 10 years or more.
- Breast exams, either from a medical provider or self-exams, are no longer recommended.
Previously, their guidelines suggested that:
- Women should start getting mammograms at age 40
- Women should continue getting mammograms every year after age 55
- Medical providers should provide breast exams during a routine physical
- Women should perform self-exams starting at age 19
The new guidelines are aimed towards women at moderate risk. If you have higher risk such as testing positive for the BRCA1 or BRCA2 gene, or a family history, then follow your doctor's advice.
In addition, the guidelines support that women can get mammograms starting earlier than age 45, or continue getting them yearly after age 55, if they so desire.
So why the change?
The American Cancer Society extensively reviewed the data from numerous studies and made recommendations based on those findings. They have determined that having more screening did not always produce findings that needed treatment, and that there can be harm from excessive mammogram screening. They are now opting for a more conservative approach.
According to the New York Times, "More than half of women screened annually for 10 years will have at least one false positive finding. These can result in as little as a second exam and as much as a biopsy, which also carries small but real risks.

Yep, I agree with Linda.
This Comment
So the new guidelines are based on a lot of false positives. Regardless, I would rather have a biopsy and testing with the result of a false positive vs. not knowing and having something linger. In my humble opinion, it feels like we are going backwards in testing. As far as I am concerned, test away. A problem caught in the early stages is much easier to treat and the outcome to cure is far greater. Just my opinion.October 29, 2015 - 4:20pm

Yuan firms, US dollar steady as French presidential election approaches
[SHANGHAI] China's yuan firmed against the US dollar on Friday, despite a weaker midpoint set by the central bank, but gains were limited as traders took a cautious approach to the first round of France's presidential election on Sunday.
The Chinese currency has treaded water this week, gaining less than 0.1 per cent against the US dollar so far, and was unfazed by US President Donald Trump's decision overnight to investigate imported steel.
The People's Bank of China set the midpoint at 6.8823 per US dollar on Friday, a touch weaker than the previous fix of 6.8792. In the spot market, the yuan opened at 6.8845 per US dollar. It was trading at 6.8802 at midday, 38 pips stronger than the previous late session close and 0.03 firmer per cent than the midpoint.
The market was eager to know the outcome of the first round of the French presidential election on Sunday, said a trader from a Chinese bank in Shanghai, adding that global volatility would spread to the yuan if the euro reacted strongly.
French centrist Emmanuel Macron was set to win the first round as far-right leader Marine Le Pen fell further behind him, an Elabe poll showed.
"Since the euro carries a big weight in the US dollar index, it will affect the US dollar a lot if the currency sours or plummets. And that will affect the yuan," the trader said.
The global dollar index was barely changed at midday, having risen to 99.819 from the previous close of 99.778.
Mr Trump on Thursday launched a trade probe against global steel exporting countries including China, the world's largest, raising the possibility of new tariffs and sending shares of some US steel makers up over 8 per cent.
But Chinese markets shrugged off the plan.
"Industry-specific comments from Trump won't have much impact on the yuan, not even on things as influential as him saying the US dollar is too strong," the trader said.
Chinese steel shares ended the morning trading session mixed.
The Thomson Reuters/HKEX Global CNH index, which tracks the offshore yuan against a basket of currencies on a daily basis, stood at 94.14, firmer than the previous day's 94.08.
The offshore yuan was trading near the onshore spot at 6.8805 per US dollar.

When it comes to heating and air conditioning in Arizona, there's no doubt AC gets top billing. Air conditioning is crucial to comfortable living during the summer months in Phoenix. However, as fall approaches and cooler nights prevail, it might be a good idea to have your furnace inspected. Especially if it has been years since the last checkup. Many homeowners in the Southwest take the heat in their home for granted because furnaces are generally well built and reliable, often operating trouble free for years. Depending on when your home was constructed, your furnace may be decades old.
Firing up your furnace for the first time can be an adventure. Here are a few signs your furnace may require service:
What Is That Strange Smell?
Last year, we had a call from a concerned homeowner who told us there was an odd smell coming from her HVAC vents. It turns out, the thermostat (still set from previous year) activated her heater in the middle of the first cold night. Without warning, she was awakened by a burning smell and was understandably confused. After some checking, we established that nothing was wrong, the furnace was simply burning off dust that had accumulated over the previous six months. The smell of burning dust is common the first time your furnace turns on. A burning smell should always be taken seriously, and if it persists for over 15 minutes, you should shut down your furnace and have it checked. Scheduling a fall service checkup means our experienced repairmen will inspect your furnace in advance, blow out any dust and debris inside your furnace and change your air filters, which also contain dirt and dust. Over the years, we have seen all kinds of things, including critters, that have found their way inside of idle furnaces over the summer months.
How About That Funny Noise?
Every furnace makes noise. Some more than others. When you adjust the thermostat and turn on a gas heater, there is often a hesitation, then a thump or a "kachunk" as the gas ignites, and the heater kicks in. If you notice a hesitation and then a loud bang, it could mean there's something wrong with the ignition process of your furnace. If that happens, don't hesitate to call for service. Sometimes, you may notice a high-pitched squeal which would indicate fan belt or lubrication issues. Unfortunately, sometimes you'll hear nothing at all and this, of course, means the thermostat is not communicating with the furnace or there is an electrical issue with your heater or your pilot light has gone out.
Plan Ahead and Be Ready for the Holidays
Warm temperatures in Phoenix can extend into November. However, why wait to find out you may have a problem with your furnace? If you call and schedule service today, your furnace will be set for winter and you'll be toasty warm when the first frost hits.
Fire Up Your Furnace with Confidence
Establishing a regular preventive maintenance schedule is the best way to ensure your HVAC system will be working properly when you need it most. Give us a call today and schedule your fall service.

This week I will be sharing 10 more ways that our family saves money on household expenses. #1 & #2 focused on additional ways to save money while shopping for things your family needs. #3 & #4 showed two ways that our family saves money on hair care. #5 & #6 discussed two ways to save money on school expenses and kids activities.
Today we will be talking about saving money while shopping online. First of all, I can't say enough great things about how much I prefer to shop online when I can. It's simple, I can do it during off-hours, I don't have to drag the kids into a store with me, and I can do price comparisons so easily. I have purchased just about everything possible online- including groceries, drug store items, clothing (even jeans and swim wear for myself!), electronics, major household appliances and the list goes on and on and on. So when I say that I am a bit of an "expert" when it comes to online shopping- I am not exaggerating! So here are my best tips for online shopping:
#7- Compare price on everything!
When you are shopping online- you should shop around, look anywhere you want, and do your product research if you are looking for a tech or a high-end item, but before you purchase anything- always compare price first! A simple place to compare price is to just google "compare price" followed by the item you are researching, and include a model # if you have one. You can sort the results based on the lowest price, and you can even filter the results to just show retailers offering free shipping. Once you have found the best price, you should look to see whether or not that online retailer is currently offering any coupons. My favorite sites to check for online coupons is retailmenot, or you can also just do a google search for the store name followed by the word "coupon".
One other tip to share about finding the best price on the web…. if you are looking for shoes, handbags, or clothing items- check out 6pm.com which is Zappos outlet site. I pretty much buy all of my shoes from this site, and most of what my kids are wearing for their footwear too. You do have to pay for shipping- $6.95 no matter how many items that you purchase- but you will more than make up for that in merchandise savings. You can also sign up here to receive their daily email that alerts you to that day's special deals. I'm not kidding- every friend or family member that I have shared this site with has come back to thank me (and no, I am not affiliated with 6pm in any way!)
#8- Take advantage of rebates, and free shipping
Before completing any online purchase, you also need to double check whether or not that retailer is partnered with any of the rebate sites. What's a rebate site? These are sites that direct Internet traffic to a retailer, and as an incentive, the retailer pays these sites a commission. The rebate site then shares part of that money with you, in the form of a rebate check that is mailed to you. Last year, I signed up with www.ebates.com, and I used them every time I made an online purchase for the holidays. A few weeks after Christmas- I received a nice rebate check in the mail for 5-10% back on everything that I had purchased through ebates. This included a 5% rebate against a PC that we purchased. The good thing about ebates, is that you don't have to start your shopping process on their site. I can shop the Internet, find my best price on an item, and then put it into that retailer's online shopping cart. Then I open another browser window, and search the ebates site and some other rebate sites to see whether or not that retailer offers a rebate, and who is offering the best % rebate. I then can click on the retailer's name within the rebate site which will launch a new browser window for that retailer- and my shopping cart will be in the newly opened window, with my item still in it. Some other rebate sites worth checking out are : extrabux.com, and shop at home.
Another online shopping tip that I take advantage of all of the time- is free shipping from amazon prime. Amazon Prime is a membership program within amazon.com that gives you unlimited free 2-day shipping and one day shipping for $3.99 on eligible purchases. (And I found that most of my purchases have been eligible for this benefit). Normally, this service costs $79 per year, but I signed up for a free membership in Amazon Mom a month ago, which gives me three months of free Amazon Prime service, perfect for shipping my holiday purchases!
I highly recommend that you grab a post it note or a p-touch labeler and post these tips and sites on your computer monitor so that you won't forget to use them when shopping online….. otherwise you are just "leaving money on the table"!

Community-Based Research E-Publication
Self-Care Practices, Health Beliefs, and Attitudes of Older Diabetic Chinese Americans
Blue Ribbon Award Semi-Finalist
California State University, Los Angeles nursing faculty conducted a community-based participatory research project with two Chinese adult day care centers in Southern California as partners. Many health problems are ethnically related and are particularly common in vulnerable populations. Therefore, the Asian community was of particular interest because Type II diabetes is becoming more prevalent in Chinese Americans despite the absence of obesity.
Three members from each center served on a Community Advisory Board (CAB) were involved in every aspect of the study, the purpose of which was to explore self-care practices, lifestyles, attitudes, and health beliefs of older Chinese Americans with type II diabetes and ultimately to improve diabetic self-care management for this group. CAB members assisted with recruitment and development of interview questions. Thirteen in-depth individual and two focus group interviews were obtained, data was recorded, transcribed, translated, and coded for themes. Focus groups discussed, clarified, and validated the data.
After the project's completion, the community participated in an open forum during which residents correctly answered questions demonstrating increased knowledge and self-care management potential. Positive cultural attributes of resilience, optimism, and self-reliance were used to promote behavioral changes.

New Delhi, April 19:
India and Mauritius inked an MoU to promote cooperation in traditional medicine and homeopathy, an AYUSH ministry statement said on Tuesday.
The memorandum of understanding (MoU) envisages exchange of experts, supply of traditional medicinal substances, joint research and development and recognition of the traditional systems of health and medicine in both countries.
"It also aims at promotion and popularisation of the various Indian traditional systems which fall under AYUSH (Ayurveda, Yoga and Naturopathy, Unani, Siddha, Sowa Rigpa & Homoeopathy)," said the statement from the ministry.
The MoU was inked recently when AYUSH Minister Sripad Yesso Naik was visiting Mauritius. The AYUSH ministry has also recently signed MoUs with China, Malaysia, Trinidad and Tobago, Hungary, Bangladesh and Nepal.
"The financial resources necessary to conduct research, training courses, meetings and deputations of experts will be met from the existing allocated budget and existing plan schemes of AYUSH," said the statement. (IANS)

Why does the EmpDupe file created by Payroll Premier show an amount for RESC that is not present on the Payment Summary? The Payment Summary is correctly showing no amount for RESC.
Users should first check with their Accountants on the legal position of reporting RESC for employers electing to pay Super to employees not mandated by law to receive Super.Cause:You will encounter this problem under the following conditions:
· In Super Preferences > Super Defaults, only Monthly super Threshold on Casual Employees is ticked; and,
· A permanent employee earns an amount below the monthly threshold and according to preference settings is paid statutory super.
You will also encounter this problem if you pay Super to a casual employee who earns less than the monthly threshold by changing the % or $ amount when preparing pays.
Detailed Instructions
Reckon is unsure whether the Payment Summary field or the EmpDupe field is in error. Users should first check with their Accountants on the legal position of reporting RESC for employers electing to pay Super to employees not mandated by law to receive Super.
If you confirm that the Payment Summary is in error then you will need to issue manually prepared Payment Summaries to your employees and make a paper submission of your PAYG Withholding Annual Report to the ATO. If you have not been sent these forms by the ATO already, you can download them from the ATO website.
If you confirm that the EmpDupe is at fault, then you have two options:
Option 1: submit your PAYG Withholding Annual Report manually.
If you have not already received one, you will need to obtain a PAYG payment summary statement from the ATO.
Option 2: Modify the EmpDupe file.
Warning: this option requires you to open a software-generated file that contains relevant information in a single string of digits. If you do not feel confident in your computer skills to carry out these steps, Reckon advises you consult your IT Professional. Incorrect adjustments to this file may make it unacceptable to the Australian Taxation Office.
For information on the position of each element of the Payment Summary in the digit string inside the EmpDupe file, please see p22 of the Electronic reporting specification - Pay as you go (PAYG) withholding payment summary annual report version 11.0.0, dated August 2012 and available at:
1. In Windows Explorer, go to C:\QPRollV21\Export;
2. Right-click on the file EmpDupe > Open > select Notepad;
3. Inside the EmpDupe file click on Format and tick the option Word Wrap;
4. Identify the start of the Employee's entry – 628DINBS…;
5. The RESC amount appears in position 313-320. This string is easy to identify because:
a. Position 312 before it will have the letter A or O;
b. Position 321 after it will have the letter R, T or be blank;
Please note that there are 8 digits assigned for RESC so an amount like $32.00 will show as 00000032;
6. Delete the digits showing a number other than 0 (zero);
Care: delete only the exact number of digits;
7. Enter the digit 0 (zero) for each digit deleted;
Care: enter only the exact number of digits.
8. Close the file and save.
You can now upload your EmpDupe to the ATO.

Ollie Quinn, an up-and-coming eyewear company is making vision care and eyewear accessible and rewarding.
Meet Ollie Quinn, an up-and-coming eyewear company founded on two main principles – quality, stylish products and affordable pricing. For anyone who has ever had to wear frames, you'll know that optical costs can range from mild to downright out of control.
Making vision care and eyewear accessible was a key driver in OQ's creation. Operating independently, with an in-house product team that oversees the creation process, OQ delivers top quality products at an accessible rate for consumers. Until recently, the eyewear industry operated within a monopoly. Since breaking free of the status quo, OQ has become one of players sparking reform within the industry.
What makes them different? OQ has tiered pricing ($155, $255 & $355), which is dependent on prescription – not frame style – allowing eyewearers to pick purely based on aesthetic preferences, not affordability. "We think it's very important to practice what we preach, so our eye exam costs also challenge industry standard, sitting between $70 and $80." As a nod of appreciation to the team, frames are after the people that work at OQ.
More than just an eyewear store, Ollie Quinn is all about community and being an active participant in the communities in which it operates in. Last October, OQ partnered with The Eyeglasses Project to provide complimentary optometry exams and prescription glasses to 102 disenfranchised Vancouverites. Of the people who participated in the mobile clinic, nearly half noted that they hadn't visited an eye doctor before.
"We believe clear vision is a right, not a privilege. If we can positively impact lives by providing free vision care to those who need it, why wouldn't we?"
From providing communal workspaces, to hosting concerts and art exhibits in their boutiques, Ollie Quinn believes in championing creatives and entrepreneurs in their surrounding neighbourhoods. In the spirit of lifting up the OQ network, the Create Your Own Vision campaign was launched in January 2019. The campaign highlights the many ways creativity manifests itself by showcasing innovative thinkers, all donning their OQ glasses.
Currently, there are 14 Ollie Quinn stores across Canada, 10 in the UK, and 1 in the US, with more planned throughout 2019. "Our plan is to continue to grow and provide quality, affordable eyewear in new communities." And, of course, OQ frames are always available to order online.
"We view Brim as an industry disruptor – just like OQ. We admire companies that look at something and ask, how can we do it better? With accessibility being a big focus for OQ, we noticed that same core value with Brim. Being the first non-bank credit card in Canada, Brim has a fully digital, easy-to-navigate platform that cuts the red tape associated with getting a credit card and includes some truly innovative features. Brim is a reflection of the times, as the credit card industry moves from plastic to digital and as a retailer, we see the value in providing our customers with the easiest and most efficient way to shop."
With Brim, earn rewards on all you Ollie Quinn purchases, like up to 10 points per $1 spent on your 4th purchase! Learn more about rewards with Ollie Quinn and more partners in Brim Marketplace. Don't have a Brim card? Join now.

Researchers at Emory University report in the March, 2011 issue of Archives of Neurology the finding of a correlation between insufficient levels of vitamin D and the development of early Parkinson's disease (PD).
In the article's background information, Marian L. Evatt, MD, MS of Emory University School of Medicine and the Atlanta Veterans Affairs Medical Center and colleagues remark that "Vitamin D insufficiency has been reported to be more common in patients with Parkinson's disease than in healthy control subjects, but it is not clear whether having a chronic disease causing reduced mobility contributes to this relatively high prevalence."
The study included 157 placebo recipients who participated in The Deprenyl and Tocopherol Antioxidative Therapy of Parkinsonism (DATATOP) trial of men and women with early, untreated Parkinson's disease. Blood samples obtained upon enrollment and at the final visit after 13 months were analyzed for levels of 25-hydroxyvitamin D, the active form of the vitamin.
A high percentage of subjects had vitamin D insufficiency or deficiency at both points of the study. While 69.4 percent had vitamin D insufficiency defined as levels of less than 30 nanograms per milliliter (ng/mL) at the beginning of the study, 26.1 percent were classified as deficient with levels of less than 20 ng/mL. The prevalence of insufficiency at the final visit was 51.6 percent, and deficiency occurred in 7 percent.
"Previous studies in Asian populations reported a higher prevalence of hypovitaminosis D (deficiency or insufficiency) in patients with more advanced disease, suggesting that long-term effects of Parkinson's disease may contribute to the development of insufficient vitamin D concentrations," the authors write. "Contrary to our expectation that vitamin D levels might decrease over time because of disease-related inactivity and reduced sun exposure, vitamin D levels increased over the study period. These findings are consistent with the possibility that long-term insufficiency is present before the clinical manifestations of Parkinson's disease and may play a role in the pathogenesis of PD."
"To our knowledge, the study cohort is the largest and most well-characterized cohort of patients with PD in whom vitamin D status has been investigated," they observe. "We confirm a high prevalence of vitamin D insufficiency in patients with recent onset of PD, during the early clinical stages in which patients do not require symptomatic therapy."

There are many ways to show your fandom for an artist, from a dedicated Twitter feed to making personalized signs to hold up during a concert. For Robyn fan Russ Marshalek, he's been showing his love of Robyn for years by throwing "This Music Is Killing Me" dance parties in Brooklyn, which include a night of Robyn-only dance music. Marshalek's parties have become hugely popular, but Robyn herself has yet to appear at one of the dance nights. That is, until now.
It's been one year since Robyn release the single "Honey" for the Girls soundtrack, but the Swedish singer is finally returning with her first solo album since 2010's Body Talk. The singer/songwriter has already promised that a new record is arriving this year. Staying true to her word, or in this case, her tweet, Robyn is inching her way closer to dropping her first lead single on Monday, starting with a short film dedicated to her fans.
In the new video "Missing U," Marshalek talks about the history of his This Party Is Killing You parties, which are held at the Brooklyn Bowl in Williamsburg. Hoping to convince Robyn to make an appearance at the latest party, Marshalek and his friends compiled voicemails from Robyn's fans telling the singer how much they love her. Marshalek managed to get the recordings to Robyn, who can be seen watching them in the new video.
"I haven't made an album in eight years so I haven't seen my fans for a long time either," says Robyn. "I felt like I really had to do some exploration and figure out what I wanted to write about again. I learned new things by myself."
Speaking about the new single, which is set to drop on streaming services on Tuesday, Robyn says "'Missing U' is about the trippy thing that happens when people disappear. It's like they become even more clear, like you see them everywhere. And also maybe a little bit of a message to my fans. I've missed them."
"Missing U" can be heard throughout the new short film and no surprise, it's a banger. Not missing a step during her time away from the studio, Robyn's latest single is another addition to her discography of tracks that give listeners a dance song that lets them exercise and exorcise out the demons of bad breakups, broken hearts, and anything difficult life has thrown at them. It's been a while, but as always, Robyn was worth the wait.
Check out the video below and good luck not crying when Robyn finally shows up at her own party.

Book Review: Turning the Hearts of the Children (Early Māori Leaders in the Mormon Church)
The timing of this book review is in recognition of New Zealand's annual Waitangi Day on 6 February. Waitangi Day, in summarised and abridged terms, is in celebration of the signing of New Zealand's Founding document, The Treaty of Waitangi. This document was written in both Māori and English, and was signed by over 500 Māori chiefs as well as British Government officials in 1840. It is a broad declaration of standards between the Māori and British to unitedly construct and a government in New Zealand. Because it was written in both languages, important and imperfectly translated nuances have been an ongoing source of debate. Though it is celebrated as the day the nation of New Zealand was born, The Waitangi Treaty continues to be a source of parliamentary debates in New Zealand Parliament from the time of its initial signing until today.
Likewise, church history is often viewed through the lens of the US church leaders and record keepers, turning the nuances of local conversion and cultural application into footnotes when not completely ignored or obliterated. Recent groups like International Mormon Studies have sought to encourage, develop and analyse local histories of the church in a manner that is interwoven with cultural and nationalistic perspective, celebrating Mormon thought, research and historiography through an international point of view. In this sense, Turning the Hearts of the Children is one of the most important contributions of nationalistic content within a Mormon context to date.
The book is an anthology edited by Selwyn Kātene. Kātene wrote the introduction, inclusive of a brief history of the development of the church in New Zealand, and positions the book in terms to illustrate and honour the testimony of the Māori within a Mormon context. An interesting observation of his is in describing the religious position of the Māori in comparison to other Christian religions introduced in New Zealand previous to the Mormons. Kātene points out that native Māori belief, tribal structure and spiritual practice better suited the theism taught by the Mormons in comparison to the Church of England and other European religions, making a distinction that is important in the study of the church as a "world-wide" organization.
Now on to the proper review—
As a woman and a feminist, there are three things that especially delighted me about this book. First was its interwoven use of Māori terms, such as whanau (family), rangatira (chiefs), and kaumātua (respected elders) making this an outstanding example of ways in which organizational and cultural inclusion are equally matched. The use of native Māori terms made this a much more personal telling of the church in New Zealand, using the voice of the people who held and hold the land, lending to a sense of generational testimony. This helps to place the history of the church through its church members in context with Māori culture, tribal governance and perspective.
The second is the chapter dedicated to the church history of Pare Tauwātea Duncan ("Aunt Polly") that detailed her church callings, but included context withing her family, employment, and patriotic work during World War II. The book includes partial text to a "sermon" offered by Ms. Duncan, as follows:
It is a time-hounored adage that love begets love: Relief Society was given to the daughters of God to help them pursue and attain happiness. […]Visiting the sick and serving the less fortunate kindles a love within the heart which warms and glows, radiating happiness throughout one's being.
Though little analysis is given to the ideology of women offering sermons, it is clear in this chapter that Māori women were expected to be leaders in more places than the kitchen, and in particular, Ms. Duncan was both a leader and an advocate for women within church ranks. Reading about Polly and her powerful work to progress the gospel made me love her as a sister, in a way that it uncommon, at least for me, in reading typical church materials intended to address the position and role of women.
Third, and the best part of the book — was its overall assumption of women as spiritual leaders. My favourite example was the story of a woman named Raupia, who had seen the missionaries in three separate and distinct visions well before they arrived at her home. The strength of her visions influenced her husband, who believed she had seen the visions. When the missionaries arrived, both she and her husband knew that these were the missionaries that had been revealed to Raupia, consequently resulting in the baptisms of her and her husband. Reading this empowered me and made me wonder how many other Mormon women were privy to visions, and how as a church, we might do better at preserving the spiritual records of women.
This book is more of an antiquarian collection than a historiography. This is both a negative and a positive. It is negative for those who seek more analytical discussion of the church and its effect on and within the Māori culture. Yet it can also be viewed as positive because in its purest sense, this is a resource that can be used as rich reference for future tribal, national and transnational studies of the Mormon influence within the Māori. I was disappointed in its heavy patriarchal emphasis, but as the Māori appear to be a patriarchal society, and as the church is a patriarchal organization, the stories of women are organizationally diminished at both angels through little fault of the chapter authors. Because of this organizational exclusion that was significantly disheartening, it made the inclusion of females in the book all the more significant and sacred.
As a whole, this book is an important and worthy record of the church among the Māori. It includes and impressive collection of images of New Zealand church members in traditional Māori attire. I recommend it for those who are interested in global church culture, Mormon Māori culture and those who are interested in a collection of native LDS conversion stories. It can be purchased internationally with free international shipping through Fishpond as it is not currently available through Amazon.
Kia Ora!

Hey, Hey, It's Pierogi Day!
My family is Polish, and if there's one thing I know, it's pierogies. They are the main staple to family holiday meals. We always have a variety of pierogi choices on hand, and there isn't ever any leftovers to be had. We're pretty serious about our pierogies. Which is why today is a great freaking day. It's National Pierogi Day! A day in which to celebrate the glorious, wonderful, scrumptious pierogi!
For those of you who don't really know, a pierogi is basically a dumpling stuffed with an endless variety of fillings. Fillings can range anywhere from sweet to savory, anything your little heart desires. The current running favorite fillings in my family are sauerkraut and pork, cottage cheese, spinach and lamb, and the classic potato. You can have them boiled, baked, or fried. My family boils them, then fries them so they get all crispy golden in butter. YUM!
One thing that I really like about Pittsburgh is the fact that it loves its pierogies too! If you've ever been to a Pirates baseball game, you know what I'm talking about. Each game there's a Pierogi Race. Pittsburgh loves pierogies so much that it has 5 costumed mascots race around the field... just because! They even have an official page on the Pirates website. They all have names and stats of how many races they've won. Crazy! Pittsburgh even has it's own Pierogi Food Truck. I've had them, and they were delish.
So, I've just realized that I've been saying 'pierogies' as plural of 'pierogi'. Here's a fun fact: the word pierogi is actually already plural in the Polish language. It's the original 'betcha can't eat just one'! Also, there are many MANY different spelling of the word pierogi: perogi, pierogy, perogy, pierógi, pyrohy, pirogi, pyrogie, pyrogy, and even Pierożki. Whoa, where did that 'Z' come from? Oh, us silly Polski's gotta stick them in everything!
But seriously, do you want to know why October 8th is National Pierogi Day? It was the day in 1952 when Ted Twardzik Sr. founded Mrs. T's Pierogies and produced the first samples for a local grocery store. Mrs. T's, by the way, is the largest producer of pierogi in the US. USA! USA!
Wanna know something else that's cool? Pierogies have their own patron saint! Oh yeah, Saint Hyacinth! There's a Polish saying, "Święty Jacek z pierogami!", (St. Hyacinth and his pierogi!) which is an old expression of surprise, roughly equivalent to the American "good grief" or "holy smokes!" Looks like I just found my new favorite saying.
Wanna know how much I love pierogies? I really REALLY wish I had written this Ode to Pierogi.
So today, get out there and track down the nearest polish grandma (cause we all know that only gramma's make them the best) and stuff your face with little pockets of goodness! You know I will!

The True Story of How Queen Victoria Survived William Hamilton's Failed Assassination Attempt
The opening scenes of tonight's episode of Victoria on Masterpiece PBS show a failed assassination attempt on Queen Victoria and several of her children. While the writers of the series have taken some liberties with history this season—notably regarding the timeline of the cholera epidemic in Soho in 1854—an incident like the one depicted onscreen in "A Show of Unity" did indeed take place in 1849.
Queen Victoria was enjoying a ride through Hyde and Regent's Parks with several of her children. As they made their way back to Buckingham Palace, William Hamilton, an unemployed Irishman, fired a pistol in the direction of the royal carriage. Or, more truthfully, he appeared to fire a pistol. While he did use powder, Hamilton's gun almost certainly contained no bullets or projectiles, and he had no real intention of hurting the monarch.
Shooting Victoria: Madness, Mayhem, and the Rebirth of the British Monarchy
Rather, according to Paul Thomas Murphy's book Shooting Victoria, "He said he did it for the purpose of getting into prison, as he was tired of being out of work."
He got what he wanted. Hamilton was sentenced to seven years' of transportation, meaning he was sent to the colonies to serve out his punishment. He first went to
For her part, Victoria was relatively unfazed by the whole incident.
"I hope that you will not have been alarmed by the account of the occurrence which took place on Saturday, and which I can assure you did not alarm me at all," she wrote to her Uncle Leopold.
"This time it was quite clear that it was a wanton and wicked wish merely to frighten, which is very wrong, and will be tried and punished as a
She might have even found a silver lining in the aftermath, as she also wrote her uncle that "the indignation, loyalty, and affection this act has called forth is very gratifying and touching."
William Hamilton wasn't the first person to "attempt" to kill Queen Victoria (if you can even call his actions and attempt), and he wouldn't be the last. In total, there were eight would-be assassination attempts on the Queen's life by seven men, all unsuccessful.
"Victoria's seven would-be assassins were all shooting stars," writes Murphy. "They came from nowhere, burst into the light of public attention for a short time following their attempts and disappeared back into obscurity."

Ogun Commits N1.4bn to School rehabilitation0
Determined to improve the state of infrastructure in public schools in Ogun State, the state executive council has approved N1.4bn for the renovation of dilapidated buildings in its schools.
Also, the state government has approved the establishment of the Gateway Industrial Petrol Gas Training Institute with a mandate to produce middle level manpower for the petroleum energy sector.
The state Commissioner for Education, Prof. Segun Awonusi, was quoted in a statement signed by the Information Officer to the state Governor, Mr. Kunle Ewuoso, after the last state executive council meeting to have said that GITI would perform functions similar to that of the Petroleum Training Institute, Warri, Delta State.
According to Ewuoso, the government took the decision to spend that much on the renovation of 271 secondary and primary school spread across the state in order to raise the standard of education.
Ewuoso quoted the commissioner as saying that, "the present administration at inception set up a Task Force, which visited 271 schools, and they were able to inspect 744 blocks. "As a result government was able too generate a data base on the number of schools to be rehabilitated, which is costing N1.4b."
He added that since it was impossible for government to spend N1.4b on the rehabilitation of schools at once because of its limited resources, its had concluded arrangements that between 10 and 15 schools would be renovated on a monthly basis until all the 744 blocks were renovated.

finding the poem: patricia lockwood's "rape joke"Posted: July 29, 2013 Filed under: comedy, empathy, literature, poetry, the body, Uncategorized, violence | Tags: Patricia Lockwood, Rape Joke, rape jokes, rape poems 3 Comments
I've written about the debate over rape jokes, and it goes on and on in editorials, blog posts, and online discussions. But Patricia Lockwood took a new approach by submitting her thoughts in poetic form. "Rape Joke," published in The Awl last Thursday, has already received more attention than any poem could dream of in its lifetime. I beg you to read it, sit in silent thanks for a moment, and then come back to chat.
I know. It hits the spot–if the spot is a deep ache to say once and for all that rape is both horrific and sadly banal and can really fuck you up but eventually you find a way to go on living and are even able to find the humor in your tragedy, but that humor is yours to share as a way of processing and healing and getting on with life. If the spot is a desperate desire to explain that the real joke is that this kind of thing happens every two minutes, that rape is so normalized that we talk about it all the time but nothing ever changes, that women are often silenced when they talk about rape.
Take a deep breath.
This is what I love about poetry. It guts us in a way that nonfiction generally can't manage. We might have different interpretations, but it's hard to come away from a piece like that without feeling something approaching what the narrator feels. This piece also reflects the wide open landscape that we get with poetry. In an essay, the thesis is laid out pretty quickly, but a poem takes us on a ride to a place we didn't know we were going. I know I've got poetry as a knife and as a vehicle here, but I'm just going to take liberties with metaphors and you can bristle and click away or just indulge me.
Poetry requires a different kind of engagement than most other discourses. We open ourselves to experiencing language more deeply, and our imagination is aroused with metaphor and imagery. Reading the comment section after the poem (because I wanted to know what others thought but was quickly reminded that other people's brains are like quicksand pulling me down to the very bad place), I saw responses that described a physical reaction to the poem ("I can't breathe") and its transformative power ("This poem changed me").
The Guardian posits that Lockwood's poem may encourage people to read more poetry. I suppose it's not the kind of poetry most people are used to. Folks who don't read poetry tend to think of the medium as a tangle of unrecognizable wildflowers that shouldn't be here so let's burn them and plant grass instead. But most poetry is more accessible than it seems at first glance if we are willing to take the time to think about it. Sure, it can be tough to deal with poetry that seems to be nothing more than a catalogue of non sequiturs, but a lot of poems offer a narrative that's fairly clear.
"Rape Joke" is accessible, clever, and moving at the same time. The images of some of the more poignant moments stick in my head: the "pretty green necklace" that she later cut up, her laughter for "one long split-open second." There is a lot going on beneath these words, but they conjure up vivid images that linger like an uncomfortable feeling.
Lockwood's poem also uses language most of us don't think of as necessarily "poetic," but there are no words or moments that are off limits in poetry. We can write lines about washing dishes ("I opened the windows and shut / the doors and put the plates in the sink / and oodled Palmolive all over.") or monthly bleeding ("Yes, / I want to talk at length about Menstruation. / Or my period.") or, as Lockwood does, dip cups ("He had chaw in his mouth the entire time, and you told him he / was disgusting and he laughed, and spat the juice through his goatee into a Mountain Dew bottle. ")
Perhaps this kind of poem shows lapsed readers the usefulness of poetry–beyond the simple pleasure of reading–and, therefore, reminds them that poetry is a subject worthy of their time. Perhaps it says something about rape and rape jokes and rape culture that we needed to hear. Maybe some readers identify with the narrator, find in this poem something of their own story, and feel validated or less alone.
It got me writing about a time I was followed by two assholes who threatened me while I was riding my bike. I hadn't thought to see a poem in it, but there's a poem in everything. Maybe there's a joke in everything too. But as with poetry, it can take a long time to see the humor, feel brave enough to reach out to it, roll it around in your hands, and not want to smother it.

All in Our Heads
An analysis of the book "Creative Imagination Enlightment to Romanticism" by James Engell.
This five-page paper presents a detailed description of the book "Creative Imagination Enlightment to Romanticism" by James Engell. The writer of this paper focuses on the Enlightment that leads up to Imagination. The writer uses Hobbes, Locke, Coleridge and Hazlitt to illustrate the point made in the book. There was one source used to complete this paper.
"Throughout history philosophers and scholars have tried to define aspects of our lives and emotions. The concept of romanticism as well as imagination has been debated for many years. Romanticism was a concept developed in the 18th century and had to do with works of literature. The concept mandated melancholy moods and imaginations filled with emotion and romantic notions. Recently James Engell wrote a book called Creative Imagination Enlightment to Romanticism. In his book he attempts to explain how imagination and romanticism tied together to create the romanticism literature genre and era. In defining his points Engell uses the views of several prominent professionals including Locke, Hazlett, and Coleridge.
"The book actually traces the history of evolution to discovering the creative imagination. We are taken on an exploratory journey through the British empire and the advent of creative imagination when it comes to literature. We are then traveled toward the future and stop to study several theories before landing in the era of Romanticism, which became an important genre tool in the history of literature."

After oral surgery, it is important to follow all the instructions provided by your oral surgeon or wisdom tooth dentist.
Here are some guidelines to speed your recovery and healing.
To limit bleeding after oral surgery, your wisdom tooth dentist or oral surgeon may place a gauze pack on the wisdom tooth extraction site.
This should be left in place for 30 to 45 minutes after leaving the office.
Bleeding might continue after the pack is removed.
If it does, follow these instructions:
A blood clot should form in the wisdom tooth extraction site; this needs to be protected for proper healing. Healing is a delicate process and requires the restriction of certain activities; otherwise the blood clot can be dislodged.
Your oral surgeon or wisdom tooth dentist may give you a plastic ice pack to apply to your face on the way home. A cold compress helps reduce swelling. Apply either a cold compress or cold, moist cloth periodically. Switch to moist heat (a warm wash cloth) 24 hours after oral surgery. Check with your oral surgeon or wisdom tooth dentist regarding how often and how long to use a compress.
Your oral surgeon or dentist may prescribe medication to prevent infection and control pain. Carefully follow the instructions. If you experience severe pain, swelling, bleeding, fever, nausea or vomiting, contact your wisdom tooth dentist.
Your mouth should be gently rinsed (not vigorously) with warm salt water the day after oral surgery. Add ½ teaspoon salt to one-cup warm water. Be sure to rinse after eating to keep food particles out of the extraction site.
Brush your teeth twice daily with a soft-bristled toothbrush. Brushing your tongue is also advised to eliminate bad breath and an unpleasant taste that often accompanies oral surgery. Floss at least once a day, too.
Follow your dentist or oral surgeon's instructions carefully after dental surgery.
Contact your wisdom tooth dentist or oral surgeon if you have any of the following problems:
Oral Surgery Guideline for Consumers
by Brian J. Gray, DDS, MAGD, FICO
Wisdom teeth, those third molars at the very back of our mouths, are so named because they generally erupt during late adolescence and early adulthood. When properly positioned they can be a valuable asset to us. When the jaw is not large enough to accommodate these wisdom teeth, they can cause dental problems, such as infection, requiring wisdom tooth removal.
Wisdom teeth usually appear in young adults between the ages of 15 and 25. Some wisdom teeth will grow in normally; others are "impacted." An impacted wisdom tooth allows no room for the rest of your teeth to grow. Dentists use X-rays to evaluate whether your wisdom teeth have any chance of coming in properly and can advise you on the best time to have wisdom tooth removal.
When there is no room for wisdom teeth to come in properly or when the teeth haven't reached their permanent location by age 25, then they're considered to be impacted wisdom teeth. Dentists recommend removing the tooth early, before wisdom tooth and other dental complications can develop.
Partially visible wisdom teeth are susceptible to bacteria that can cause wisdom tooth infection. Cysts and tumors can grow on a trapped wisdom tooth, causing irritation and some pain as well as diseases of the gums. Another problem occurs when the second molar, the last tooth before the wisdom tooth, is damaged as the wisdom tooth grows in without enough room.
The younger the patient, the easier the healing will be, which is another reason not to wait before removing impacted wisdom teeth. This oral surgery will be performed in the office of either a dentist or an oral surgeon, under anesthesia, providing patients with maximum comfort while keeping the procedure efficient and cost-effective. Local anesthetic (such as Novocain) is always used, but you may opt for additional comfort with nitrous oxide ("laughing gas"), IV sedation (twilight sleep) or deep sedation (general anesthesia.)
An oral surgeon or your dentist can provide guidance whether you're a candidate for wisdom teeth removal (extraction). The bottom line is that wisdom teeth most often don't fit well in our mouths and they can cause other teeth to move or lead to gum disease or bone problems. Ask the dentist to make an evaluation and suggest the best course of action!
