TWN Global Economy Series No. 3
An Introduction to Globalisation and its Impacts
by Bhagrath
Lal Das
Third World Network's Global Economy Series is a series of papers published by TWN on current developments and trends in the global economy, such as those involving output, income, finance and investment. It complements the TWN Trade and Development Series which focuses on multilateral trade issues. It aims to generate discussion on and contribute to development policies oriented towards fulfilling human needs, social equity and environmental sustainability.
About the book:
Globalisation has an impact on the lives of people in all sectors of society, and most adversely on poorer and more vulnerable social groups, particularly in developing countries. Thus, it is urgent for these groups and countries to develop a critical awareness and assessment of the nature and process of globalisation and its effects on society.
This paper begins by examining the main features of the current trend of globalisation. It analyses financial and trade liberalisation, the operations of transnational corporations, and the globalisation of policy-making by multilateral institutions such as the World Trade Organisation and the International Monetary Fund, and considers the implications of these global processes on development and poverty.
Finally, the author recommends concrete policy options that governments can take to ensure that globalisation works to the benefit of the world's developing nations, which must ultimately act together in forging a globalisation that works for all - one that is pro-people, pro-poor and pro-development.
About the author:
Bhagirath Lal Das was formerly India's Ambassador and Permanent Representative to the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT) forum. He has also served as Director of International Trade Programmes at the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD). He is currently a consultant and advisor to several inter-governmental and non-governmental organisations.

JACKSONVILLE, Texas – The playoff hopes of the No. 4 seed San Jacinto College women's basketball team were dashed after falling to No. 1 seed Trinity Valley Community College 73-53 in the semifinal round of the Region XIV tournament, played Friday, March 6 at the Jacksonville ISD Gym in Jacksonville.
San Jac Head Coach Brenita Jackson knew going into the game that they would have their hands full against Trinity Valley, the defending national champions and ranked fourth in the nation. "Trinity Valley has depth, and a lot of weapons, and any team that plays them faces an uphill battle," she commented. "We gave them a run for their money in the first half (trailing only by 4 at the break), but we just could not get any traction in the second half."
In spite of the loss, which eliminated San Jac (23-9) from the regional tournament, thus ending the team's season, Jackson says the team should be proud of a remarkable season. "In the meeting after the game, I cried with them and told them to keep their heads up, they have nothing to be ashamed of," she remarked. "I am very proud of their overall body of work this season. To go from 3-27 last year to 23-9 this year is outstanding. It's really been sort of a Cinderella season."
Jackson says the players that will return next season can learn valuable lessons from their regional tournament experience. "When you play against the best, you can improve your game," she said. "I told the players I am proud of their demeanor and composure and I want them to learn from these experiences and to come back next year and be even better."
In the game against Trinity Valley, freshman forward Jazmin Nelson (McKinney / McKinney High School) led San Jac in scoring with 13 points. Nelson also had 1 assist, 1 steal, and 3 rebounds. Sophomore guard Kendra Howard (Dallas / Cedar Hill High School) was also a key contributor, scoring 11 points. Howard also had 1 assist, 2 rebounds, and 1 blocked shot.

KENT — Kevin Jennings spoke about alternative lifestyles and about the prejudices and abuse inflicted against members of the LGBTQ community. The talk was hosted by and held at the Kent Memorial Library on Saturday, Feb. 23.
"LGBTQ people were not new to the North American continent," he explained while discussing life in early Colonial America. "What was new to the North American continent was prejudice against gay people."

The purpose of our project is to learn and understand the process of a revolutionary concept, called lean manufacturing, which is sweeping itself throughout the manufacturing industry. We researched and investigated the many intricacies that surrounded lean manufacturing, from the origins within the Toyota Production System to specific case studies involving three medium sized companies. We dove into many real world cases where lean manufacturing had been, or attempted to be implemented, and developed a keen insight into the future of manufacturing.

Choose a hairstyle that will slim and lengthen your face. This can easily be done if you create height at the crown of your head and keep the sides close to your face.
The best hair length is below the chin. Try longer hairstyles close to your face together with a center part. If you have a very short hairstyle, change your part to a side part. Your forehead should be uncovered. If you love bangs, make them long and side-swept with wispy ends. Style them asymmetrically and wear them off your face.
Longer hairstyles or ones that are kept close to the cheeks with no width will look better. Middle parts are great for creating the illusion of narrow length. No bangs are the ideal as the focus point becomes the bridge of the nose, creating a more oval shape. If bangs are used they should be swept across, or in the case of solid bangs, only where there is substantial height on the top. Short hairstyles are great and do not suffocate small round faces.
Here is a list of face shapes to help you see which one your face drawing is more similar to…
1. Oval
2. Round
3. Long
4. Heart
5. Square
6. Diamond
Another great technique to see if your face is really round is to ask other people like your friends or family members to guess your face shape. Since they will have an outsider's look, they can say more accurately.
OK, so now that you are sure you have a round face, let's see what kind of hair style will look best on you…
The best hairstyles that will look good on you are those that add length to your face.
A long straight hair is a good idea because long hair will make your face look longer, and since it's straight it will make your head width show less.
There are many hairstyles for round face shape that should be completely avoided. Naturally, hair styles that tend to "puff out" the sides of the hair should be avoided.
How to choose hair styles for round faces?
• Just say no to boy-cuts, such hairstyles are apt for longer face shape women. Selecting such style, your face will be appeared fuller.
• You should stay away from curly hairstyles. But if you possess naturally curly hair, you may keep it longer with one length.
• Don't ever prefer blunt cut. It's better to enjoy wispy edges and soft layers.
• For flattering the round face you may include bangs, such as, wispy or long bangs, side swept bangs, etc.
• You may set the hair in such a way that it will remain close to the face. In this way, your face will be appeared longer as well curvy.
• You may choose the 'U cut' hairstyle in this regard. A cut which maintains the length of your hair will be fine also.

60-year-old, three-time Oscar winner Daniel Day-Lewis, considered one of the greatest actors of modern times, has announced plans to retire from acting. Day-Lewis not give a reason for his retirement, but In a statement his spokeswoman, Leslee Dart, confirmed the news:
"Daniel Day-Lewis will no longer be working as an actor. He is immensely grateful to all of his collaborators and audiences over the many years. This is a private decision and neither he nor his representatives will make any further comment on this subject."
Day-Lewis' career has spanned four decades, with one final film awaiting release this Christmas – Paul Thomas Anderson's untitled drama set in the world of high fashion. Day-Lewis reportedly intends to help promote the movie which has the tentative title "Phantom Thread".
Day-Lewis is the first performer to ever win three best actor Oscars, for the title role in Steven Spielberg's "Lincoln," his turn as an oil magnate in Paul Thomas Anderson's "There Will Be Blood," and as artist Christy Brown in "My Left Foot".
He has also earned two other Academy Award nominations for "Gangs of New York" and "In the Name of the Father." Day-Lewis is known as being highly selective, often waiting years between projects.

Ever wanted to quickly send or save a friend's contact, send a picture or browse the internet and the hourglass or clock symbol spins continuously on the BlackBerry smartphone. Well this is one major problem which RIM is yet to find a lasting solution to. Our goal is to provide you with a temporary solution to this annoying problem.
First Option: Running Memory Cleaner
To do this, simply go to Options>Security>Advance Security Settings>Memory Cleaning>Enable(ensure to check the box)>Reduce the Idle Timeout to at least 5mins>Click on Clean (note you can also place this on your home screen)>Once the process has been completed, simply save.
This will not give you so much space but it will definitely free up some space on your smartphone.
Second Option: Hard reset or Battery Pull
The Hard Reset method of resetting a BlackBerry smartphone applies to every BlackBerry smartphone. To perform this task, complete the following steps.
- Remove the battery cover from the back of the BlackBerry smartphone
- Remove the battery, and then reinsert it after a few seconds
- Replace the battery cover.
- Wait for your smartphone to come back on.
Third Option: Performing a Soft Reset
Please note that if you are using a BlackBerry smartphone that does not contain a QWERTY keyboard such as the BlackBerry® Torch™ 9850 smartphone, you can only perform a hard reset as a soft reset isn't possible.
A soft reset is a three-key combination that resets the BlackBerry smartphone without removing the battery. As mentioned previously, it is only available on BlackBerry smartphone models with a QWERTY keyboard, such as the BlackBerry Bold 9900 smartphone or BlackBerry Torch 9810 smartphone.
To perform a soft reset, complete the following steps.
- Press and hold the Alt key (1)
- While holding down the Alt key, press and hold the Right Shift key (2)
- With both of those buttons still pressed, press the Backspace/Delete key (3)
- When the screen turns off to indicate that the BlackBerry smartphone is restarting, you can then release the keys you have been holding.
Please note that performing a soft or hard reset on your smartphone won't affect your data. You can only lose your data if you perform a security wipe.
Also, it is important for you to reduce the number of apps you install on your Blackberry smartphone if your device happens to fall under those that have small RAM or your apps are always been installed on your RAM.

Houston's Anderson family has benefitted from temporary lodging and repair assistance
AUSTIN, Texas — Robert Anderson's family had nowhere to go when they were forced from their Houston home by Hurricane Harvey's floodwaters. Two of his children have cystic fibrosis, which made staying in a house potentially infested by mold or other microorganisms dangerous to their health.
"We don't have many relatives down here, and the ones I do have are not the type that are like, 'Come stay with me,'" Anderson said Tuesday. "FEMA helped so much. They gave us somewhere to stay, and we've been there ever since the storm."
For the past 10 months, Anderson and his children have stayed in a motel paid for by FEMA's Transitional Sheltering Assistance (TSA) program. On Tuesday, they moved out of the motel and into an apartment financed through FEMA's Direct Housing program.
"FEMA stepped in and gave a place for me and my kids that helped me raise them and keep them going," he said. "The things you all have done and are doing — I just thank God. I don't know what I would have done without you guys."
Anderson didn't have insurance on his home because it wasn't officially his property when Harvey hit. His mother had recently died, he said, and his inheritance of the property was still being processed. When the floodwaters arrived, they caused $80,000 worth of damage.
Through the combination of a FEMA housing award and a U.S. Small Business Administration disaster loan, the Andersons' house is being repaired, and they expect to return home within a couple of months.
"So many people have suffered because of Harvey, and now hurricane season is here again," Anderson said. "But we're making it."
The Andersons are one of 54,639 Texas households that have sheltered at hotels or motels through the TSA program since Hurricane Harvey, including 24,690 that received more than two months of rental assistance. The program will expire Saturday after 308 days of support to Harvey survivors.
Households remaining in the TSA program are working closely with disaster case managers (DCMs) to finalize their long-term housing plans by the end of this month. DCMs, who provide long-term, one-on-one support, can be reached by calling 211. Survivors with a continuing need for rental assistance also can contact FEMA at 800-621-FEMA (3362).

Baby No. 2 has arrived for Josh Altman!
The Million Dollar Listing Los Angeles star's wife Heather gave birth to a baby boy named Ace David Altman on Tuesday, July 16, at 5:42 a.m., Heather shared on Instagram Thursday alongside a photo of the couple and their newborn at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles.
"Baby Ace is healthy and absolutely perfect," the new mom of two wrote of her newborn, who weighed 6 lbs., 10 oz., and measured 20 inches at birth.
"As we like to say 'Ace was a mover and a shaker' from day one," she added. "[Breech] baby, we tried every trick in the book from acupuncture to chiropractic to inverted crazy pregnancy exercises to finally having a successful ECV, little Ace turned head down just in time."
The new parents of two also share 2-year-old daughter Alexis "Lexi" Kerry. "We're so excited to have this little legend as part of our family and can't wait to have Lexi meet her little brother," Heather, 34, added in her caption.
Altman, 40, praised his wife in his post of the same photograph, captioning it in part, "She was as always a champ throughout the long birth."

The pair — who tied the knot in Aspen, Colorado, in April 2016 — first announced they were expecting another baby during a January appearance on Extra. Less than a week later, Altman and Heather shared exclusively with PEOPLE that the little one on the way would be a boy.
"This time around, I thought for sure it was a girl," she continued, adding that her Bravo star husband was also convinced they'd be having another daughter. "Josh was like, 'It's going to be a girl again, I just know it — my life is just going to be nothing but women.' "
Heather went on to share that when they got a call from the doctor about the results from their blood test, "We were like, 'Just tell us over the phone. We can't wait — we have to know.' "
"We were driving down Sunset and [the doctor was] like, 'You're having a boy.' … Our jaws dropped, [and we] just started yelling and celebrating in the car," she added. "We're so excited to have a little baby boy. We think Lexi is going to be the best big sister."
Heather told PEOPLE she planned to bring back the "absolutely amazing" doula she worked with for Lexi's birth, who gave her "a four-hour massage while Josh slept" — before he "helped deliver" their daughter.
"I think we'll end up bringing [the doula] back a second time around and just hope for a safe and healthy delivery," she said. "I'd love to do another natural vaginal birth if possible but we don't have control over that, so just wanting a good pregnancy and healthy baby."
And were they already thinking about more kids? Potentially — but not right away. "We're definitely done for at least five or six months," said the second-time dad-to-be.
"Josh [has] always wanted enough kids to have a soccer team," Heather joked. "I just let him think that that was going to happen. Two is the minimum number I want but we'll have to see how two goes and we may or may not welcome more, but only time will tell."

Alex Iwobi on Sunday got the sitter for Arsenal to ensure that the Gunners defeated Crystal Palace 2-0 and move them up to third place on the English Premier League (EPL) table.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) recalls that Arsenal lost ground in the title race with defeats by Everton and Manchester City, and began this game in fifth place following Tottenham's win at Watford.
Oliver Giroud's incredible scorpion kick in the 17th minute had earlier set Arsenal on the way to a victory over Crystal Palace.
With a cross from Alexis Sanchez delivered behind him, Frenchman Giroud elastically reached the ball with his left foot, looping it over his head and in off the underside of the bar.
Giroud's goal was the highlight of an otherwise lacklustre first half in which the only other moment of note was the Frenchman missing his kick attempting to meet a cross inside the six-yard box.
Still, the Gunners' threat was always apparent, particularly in the shape of the forward running of full-backs Hector Bellerin and Nacho Monreal, who tormented the Palace defence throughout.
Monreal was involved in the second goal, providing a cross that was not dealt with, with Alex Iwobi's header not cleared by defender Joel Ward on the line.
Iwobi's header in the 56th minute gave Arsenal a scrappy second before Palace briefly rallied to force saves from home goalkeeper Petr Cech.
The win moves the Gunners back to within nine points of leaders Chelsea, while Palace stay 17th, two points above the relegation zone.
The visitors have won only once in 12 league games, with manager Sam Allardyce awaiting his first victory since taking over from Alan Pardew.
In another EPL match played earlier today (Sunday), Harry Kane and Dele Alli scored two goals apiece as Tottenham thrashed lacklustre Watford to move into the Premier League's top four for the first time since October.(NAN)

CORONA, Calif. (AP) — Dozens of people bearing flowers or stuffed animals attended a funeral for a newborn girl found dead last summer along a Southern California highway.
Authorities in Riverside County continue to investigate the death of the baby whose identity remains a mystery.
The service on Thursday was organized in part by police officers and firefighters, the Press-Enterprise reported.
Jon Castillo, a Corona police chaplain, led the about 70 people in prayer near the tiny, flower-draped casket.
"Every person who walks the planet is born in God's image, and she had inherent value and worth," Castillo said.
The girl known as "Baby Jane Doe" was discovered on July 27 in a cardboard box near Interstate 15 in Corona, east of Los Angeles. She was wrapped in a t-shirt with stripes and a floral pattern.
Monica Montejano was among those who said they felt compelled to show respect for the child.
"I would have held her," Montejano told the newspaper. "I would have loved her."
Lorena Palacios placed a pair of miniature Christmas trees by the casket. She bought one at a grocery store and the other was purchased by a store employee who wanted to contribute.
"It's December, it's Christmas. I have three kids. Every kid wants a tree," Palacios said.
The coroner has been unable to identify potential family members through DNA. Officials said detectives are asking for the public's help during the ongoing investigation.
Authorities also emphasized that Corona offers several sites — including police stations, fire stations and hospitals — where parents can give up an infant within 72 hours of birth with no questions asked.

Northern Snakes Appear Much More Abundant in Old Fields than in Forests
Temperature is one of the most important factors regulating habitat selection by ectotherms. Through behavioural thermoregulation, reptiles maintain preferred body temperatures and thereby maximize fitness. At northern latitudes, small colubrids appear to use forest habitat rarely because of thermal constraints. In cool environments, open habitats such as old fields offer more favourable thermal conditions than forest. We studied two northern colubrid snakes, Red-bellied Snake (Storeria occipitomaculata) and Common Gartersnake (Thamnophis sirtalis), in Gatineau Park, Quebec, Canada, to test the hypothesis that small northern snakes are more abundant in open than in closed habitats because open habitats provide better opportunities for thermoregulation. Snakes were sampled using large arrays of tin and plywood coverboards. Snakes were indeed much more abundant in old fields than in forest, and fields offered more favourable thermal conditions. Most snakes were captured in spring and summer (May to August) when temperatures were highest. Storeria occipitomaculata preferred tin over plywood coverboards. We confirmed an apparent strong preference for open habitats in northern snakes.

Ryan McNamara's "Candid" and James Krone's "Waterhome: We is Somebody Else" – Brand New Gallery
Brand New Gallery is pleased to present two first Italian solo shows: Ryan McNamara's Candid and James Krone's Waterhome: We is Somebody Else.
American artist and performer Ryan McNamara creates situation-specific works that give form to an amplified participant perspective, involving spectators, other artists or professional dancers. His interest pertains a social discourse developed through the subversion of the conventional notions of performance, embracing realism and interaction as necessary aspects of the visual experience. He creates his bi and three-dimensional objects before, during and after his performative events, using mainly collages of overlapped Xeroxed images, as an essential and integral part of his artistic practice.
For this show Ryan McNamara, drawn by contemporary cultural media in all its declinations, examines the candid camera and, in general, the mechanism of determined TV shows in which the reactions of unaware pedestrians confronted with paradoxical situations are registered. The audience is invited to participate with the support of interactive audio guides that lead them into McNamara's world.
His influential works and projects (presented at Performa several times) have aroused the interest of important museums such as the Whitney or MOMA PS1 but also of famous fashion brands such as Louis Vuitton, who, in 2010, invited the artist to conceive a site-specific performance for its boutique on Fifth Avenue.
During the opening and every Saturday from 3pm to 6pm the gallery will host a special interactive and entertaining event curated by Ryan McNamara.
The second solo exhibition, James Krone's Waterhome: We is Somebody Else, is explained by the artist himself: "Waterhome is the factory name of an aquarium that was given to me as a gift a few years ago. I decided that I didn't want any animals living in my house so I just filled the aquarium with water. The aquarium began to produce layers of algae that would eventually die and fall from the glass walls of the tank. This fallen algae would decompose and the aquarium would continue to produce more algae. I was attracted to the constant production of the tank. The production was the narrative and this narrative would end and then repeat and end and repeat and so on, without any sort of progression or goal.
I began to make paintings on glue sized canvas that I had intended to stand in as locations for me to reenact the actions of the aquarium. I chose four colors that I perceived in the algae or that combine to match certain colors suggested by the algae. I paint one monochromatic layer of paint on the canvas per day and stop when the canvas appears to be a light absorbing, ruddy black, so that I can discern no change from further accretion of paint. Flaws in the canvas support allow the paint to bleed through the surface in an incidental, patternless manner. While the fronts of these paintings is where I behave as the aquarium "behaves", the surfaces themselves are inchoate, refusing to speak of pictorial reference beyond an ostensibly black monochrome which if having any sign value is as a sign for the historical black monochrome. The areas where the pigment bleeds through the canvas make the reverse sides appear to resemble, mimetically, the algae covered walls of the aquarium. I decide randomly whether or not to leave the paintings as I painted them or whether to unstretch and reverse them, exposing the side that appears to be subjective but is, in fact, a blind material composition.
The aquarium isn't a painter's object like a bowl of pears is or a view from my studio window, a patient sitter in a chair, a photograph of any of these things or even a structuralist allegory is. It is more like a cathedral without a religion. In this way, as a shell for performative inhabitation, it is a vessel for drag. Indistinguishable as a subject or an object I use it as an attempt to drown out any narrative of artistic progress that could be read as a lesson of biographical accumulation. Where my attempt fails to pass is where it exposes my desire to refrain from the courtship games of expressionistic self diarizing.
The exhibitions I've made with this work relate to each other as different iterations yet they never seem to resolve an ideal presentation for the work. What is causal in the paintings isn't necessarily transferable to the expectations of exhibition. There have been arrangements describing the process and content and there have been arrangements that have masked it, mocked it, occasionally undermining whatever delicate potential for meaning might exist there by masochistically repositioning elements of the work as decorative artifice or as functional objectification. Eventually the exhibits come down and I begin again."

I am a wanderer. I would say that I am a seeker, but sometimes I have no idea what I might be seeking, so I will stick with wanderer. This blog is more a public journal than anything. I don't claim to have life figured out. I simply stumble from mystery to mystery, and share my reflections along the way. Sometimes I feel burdened, and trudge. Sometimes? Well sometimes grace breaks through, and its time to dance.

child of god
"Part of me suspects that I'm a loser, and the other part of me thinks I'm God Almighty."
― John Lennon
"The ego is the false self-born out of fear and defensiveness."
― John O'Donohue, Anam Cara: A Book of Celtic Wisdom
There are times that I suffer
If truth be told, most of the time
I create my own suffering
Or rather, my ego does
The ego is that part of me that wants to be significant,
important by itself
separate and superior.
I notice the ego asks a lot of questions!
Am I enough?
Am I safe?
Am I important?
Am I noticed?
Am I valued, appreciated, respected?
Do people like me?
Find me attractive (or even sexy)?
Do people see me as competent, and effective
There are problems with the ego
It is fragile, always being insulted
And always, it seems, it is defensive and self-protective
It can't help itself
When I am upset about how someone has treated me
When I am worried about how I am coming across
When I see slights everywhere
When I believe people are evaluating, judging me
So much of my fear
My sense of being rejected
My anger
My indignation
Comes from my ego
Instead of believing my identity and worth
Are based upon whether I am tall enough, thin enough
Handsome enough, rich enough
Successful enough
Powerful enough
Admired enough
Respected enough
Valued enough
I just realize that my value is inherent
That I do not have to be defined by those things
Perhaps what I need to remember
Is that I am a broken and blessed Child of God
One God values so much that God draws near
And claims me as God's own
Child of God
Child of God
Child of God
Perhaps that awareness is all that I need
"All great spirituality teaches about letting go of what you don't need and who you are not. Then, when you can get little enough and naked enough and poor enough, you'll find that the little place where you really are is ironically more than enough and is all that you need. At that place, you will have nothing to prove to anybody and nothing to protect. That place is called freedom. It's the freedom of the children of God. Such people can connect with everybody. They don't feel the need to eliminate anybody . . ."
(Richard Rohr, Healing Our Violence through the Journey of Centering Prayer)
And perhaps, secure in being loved
Perhaps, being free
I won't have to suffer
At my own hands

In a world overrun with vampires, humans have been hunted to the brink of extinction. The only way they can fight back is with a series of demonic weapons known as Cursed Gear. Reserved for soldiers with exceptional talent, these weapons require humans to form pacts with ancient demons in exchange for their power.
Yuichiro Hyakuya is a young member of the Moon Demon Company, a prestigious army squadron armed with Cursed Gear and tasked with exterminating vampires. After the blood-sucking monsters killed his family when he was a child, Yuichiro vowed he wouldn't stop fighting until every last one was dead. But when a familiar face from his past appears sporting a new set of fangs, the line drawn between good and evil begins to blur. There's something special about Yuichiro—a dark power that the vampires call the Seraph of the End. When that power is unleashed, will he be the key to humanity's salvation or its complete destruction?

This morning I woke up thinking of that Tom Petty song The Waiting. (everybody wakes up with a song stuck in their head/heart, right? RIGHT??) Why this song? Well, I do have a soft spot for Tom Petty, but I think this particular song was playing because I am doing a lot of in general waaaaayaaating right now. Everything in my ENTIRE LIFE is waiting (or so it seems) and it is making me crazy. er. Crazier. I know, I know -- time to turn that frown upside down and look on the bright side blah blah blah -- but I feel like someone replaced the inside of my skin with a cheap wool sweater and I am itchy itchy itchy. Not so much that it hurts, but I can't think of anything else. I have a waiting rash! An allergy to TIME. (okay, maybe not an allergy to time. although now I'm curious to know what would be the cure for an allergy to time? death? ointment? dietary supplements?)
Most of this waiting stuff is good. It's the next necessary step after some important first steps, and I have no doubt things will get moving soon. (although it is disconcerting when even my horoscope is all "think good thoughts, wait for years, and we'll see!") I know what has put the itching powder in my underpants: the evil elephant in my brain with an unending supply of itching powder is what. It's my freaking unknown final hospital bill -- 3 days in the hospital with no insurance causes its own special stressy hell. It's only money. If one has to have a problem, a problem that money can solve is better than a problem that no amount of money can solve, right? AND YET. I think if I just had a final number, I'd be fine. I know that it's right around 11,000 dollars as it stands, but my Financial Statement is currently under review. The hospital may knock a small or large portion off of the bill (they write off millions of dollars like this every year for the uninsured) or they may not knock any off at all. Obviously, I hope that they DO, but I will deal with what I have to deal with -- I just hate not knowing what that is!
You know what else? GWB can go directly to hell for any number of reasons, but wanting to tax insurance benefits should get him there a little bit faster. (giant incoherent rant deleted. summary of GIR: We need Universal Health Care in this country.)
In less itchy news, The New York Times has an interesting article on magical thinking. I do it a lot, but more as a method of self-comfort (which they talk about) than a compulsion. I'm not to the point where I can't function if I'm not wearing my lucky shoes or whatever (I have no lucky garments! see? I'm not crazy), but I will admit that a crappy day can be turned right around if I see someone carrying a book that says YES in huge letters or some other "sign." Anyway, it's an interesting article and I contend that indulging in that kind of thought in moderation is not only not-dangerous, it's beneficial to your mental health! AND way cheaper and less dangerous than other forms of self-comfort, like say.. heroin or krispy kreme donuts. (you know why I hate krispy kreme? There are many reasons, so I'll just hit the highlights: 1) I despise, despise that kind of kreativ spelling. It makes me go from serene to stabby in seconds. 2) to the krispy kreme evangelists: it's just a donut, people!! Maybe it's even a delicious donut, but seriously -- a DONUT! ) (did I mention that I feel itchy all over? It's sort of like ingesting waaaay too much caffeine.)
on that note: something to consider -- do you think it is possible to "think too much?" People say this to me, and on the one hand I know that I can over-think certain things (really? not you, jen!), but seriously... think too much? It's like saying "you breathe too much" -- it doesn't make any sense! That's what we DO. Just like lungs are for breathing, brains are for thinking, right? If people aren't thinking all the time then what the hell are they doing? (I don't mean necessarily deep thinking or profound thoughts -- just, you know, THINKING about stuff. ) I don't get it. If you can explain it to me, please do so. I promise I will think about it, but not too much (as if!) or too little -- just the right amount.

What is Diabetes?
Diabetes is an incurable and a fast growing disease that affects millions of people worldwide. We believe that even basic knowledge about Diabetes may contribute to its prevention.
Know your risks
Among 30 million people have Diabetes, 7 million are undiagnosed and do not know that they have the disease. Knowing risk factors for Diabetes is very important for preventing the damage it can cause.
Myths about Diabetes
There is a great number of myths about Diabetes that are usually taken as facts. These widespread misbeliefs can sometimes be harmful and lead to an improper management of the condition.
Education and Information for Diabetics
According to American Diabetes Association, diabetes is the 7th leading cause of death in the USA, with over 252 thousand death certificates listing it as an underlying or contributing cause of death. However, despite the statistics, most people do not take the condition seriously. They see it as a nuisance rather than something causing major health complications and even death. Moreover, among 30 million people stricken with diabetes, 7 million are undiagnosed.
There are real dangers the disease poses when left unattended, so the goal of this site is to motivate readers into taking better care of themselves or helping their closest ones manage the condition better. Learning to control diabetes starts with finding out as much as possible about the condition and how dangerous it is. This will help make necessary lifestyle changes to stay in good health and live a longer life.

Learn more about Diabetes
Diabetes mellitus is an endocrine disease characterized by the lack (complete or partial) of insulin. Since insulin is a hormone that allows glucose (sugar) to enter the cells to produce energy, problems with insulin lead to increased blood sugar levels. The circulation of blood saturated with glucose causes damage to the blood vessels.
It is a known fact that the incidence of diabetes is increasing among all populations throughout the world, mainly due to unhealthy eating habits and sedentary lifestyle that lead to obesity. The very disease develops imperceptibly for several years, with asymptomatic hyperglycemia; therefore, many patients have been already having a number of complications when they are finally diagnosed with diabetes. By itself, diabetes is not dangerous; however, its complications and their consequences are potentially life-threatening. This disease is dangerous to all vessels that supply various organs with blood – the limbs, eyes, kidneys, liver and heart. Here are some of such complications:
- The risk of heart disease and stroke is higher in diabetic patients. Cardiovascular diseases are the most common cause of death in diabetic patients.
- Diabetes is the leading cause of kidney failure and up to 10-20% of patients with diabetes die because of it.
- Diabetic neuropathy damages nerves throughout the body and most commonly nerves in the feet and legs. It is the most common complication affecting about 60-70% of diabetic patients.
- Diabetic retinopathy is an important cause of blindness in patients with diabetes and it occurs as a result of prolonged damage to the small blood vessels of the retina.
- Diabetic foot, a disturbed blood circulation in the limbs which causes the development of ulcers and even gangrene.
Considering all the above said, diabetes represents a prominent factor in mortality among Western countries population. Therefore, no matter your blood sugar is under control, it is vital to know these diabetes-related issues so you could identify them and seek treatment right away. The sooner you take action, the better your chances are. And we will provide you insight into the problem so that you could prevent it or manage diabetes better.

The FDA released details of its meeting last December with senior Apple executives about new mobile products, sensors and a glucometer. During the meeting, Apple representatives said the company had "a moral obligation to do more with sensors."
The topics and tone of the discussions released by the regulatory agency were in response to a Freedom of Information Act request made by AppleToolbox, an online media publication that covers technology. The FDA disclosure came just a week after Apple unveiled its mobile health and fitness platform, called HealthKit, for iOS 8 and Mac. HealthKit pulls together data collected by mobile apps on the iOS.
The agency said that in the meeting, which included Commissioner Margaret Hamburg and Apple's Senior Vice President of Operations Bud Tribble and Vice President of Worldwide Government Affairs Michael O'Reilly, company officials said they see their mobile technology platforms with added sensors as an "opportunity to do more with devices, and that there may be a moral obligation to do more."
There is widespread speculation in the medical device and technology industries that Apple--as does Google with its Google Glass wearable internet-connected glasses--plans to offer a glucose monitor sensor in the future. The platform for Apple's blood-sugar monitoring sensor will likely be the iWatch, which has yet to be unveiled.
With respect to a glucometer, the FDA said in the meeting with Apple that it regulates on the intended use of a device. If the intention is that the device would be used to monitor blood sugar for the purpose of better nutrition, then it would be unregulated. However, if the device were marketed to diabetics, "it would more likely be regulated as a medical device."
"Under the current regulatory scheme, FDA will review a device based on the manufacturer's intended use for the device," the agency said in the meeting. "With regards to sensors, the presence of a particular sensor will not necessarily lend the device to FDA regulation. Instead, FDA would be more likely to regulate the software that puts the sensor to use, if use of the software alters the device's use to be a medical device."
Apple said it will work closely with the FDA as it develops future products.

Sunday was a day of mourning, solidarity and remembrance in Grugliasco, near Turin, as the memories of the victims of the Heysel Stadium disaster on 29 May 1985 were honoured once more.
With President of the J|Museum Paolo Garimberti, Head of Academy Gianluca Pessotto, Grugliasco mayor Roberto Montà, Grugliasco Club Doc president Massimo Paparella and Giuseppe Franzo, an eye-witness in Brussels and founder of the "Quella di Via Filadelfia" looking on, the names of the 39 lives lost that day were read aloud during a moving commemoration service, organized by the town council and the Juventus Club Doc di Grugliasco supporters' club.
On the conclusion of the tributes of those present the ribbon was cut on the "Giardino Vittime Heysel" (the Heysel Victims garden), a green communal space where the legacy of that tragic night will live on.

A database is a collection of cells with data which are organized in tables and the control system is the piece of software that links the info to a script app. For instance, a forum stores all usernames, avatars, posts and so forth inside a database and every time a visitor opens a given thread, the forum script connects to the database and "calls" the content that ought to be displayed on a certain page. MySQL is really popular due to its excellent functionality, ease of use and the fact that it can work with numerous popular scripting languages including PHP, Python, Perl, etcetera. All dynamic sites which are designed with a script-driven application need some kind of database and a number of the most popular ones like Joomla™, Moodle, Mambo and WordPress use MySQL.

-B- The NFL has issued Ryan Clark a $40,000 fine for his helmet-to-helmet hit against the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday. Ed Bouchette reports that Clark is angry about the fine. Ben Roethlisberger also was upset, calling for the NFLPA to "do something" about the rash of fines.
Here's the hit on Ed Dickson that is in question:
Watching it live, I thought it was a good hit, but Clark did lead with the crown of his helmet and made direct helmet-to-helmet contact with the receiver. You can disagree with the current rules, but it was called correctly on the field. What is frustrating is watching Ray Lewis do the same thing to Hines Ward without the penalty being called.
Helmet-to-helmet hits are a tricky thing to detect at full speed. A high shoulder-to-shoulder hit can often look bad. What if the ball carrier leads with his head and initiates contact? Hopefully the NFL provides some further clarification and the officials get more experienced at picking these out and being consistent with their calls.
-B- WRs Mike Wallace and Antonio Brown are turning into quite the 1-2 punch. Wallace has 868 yards on 47 catches and Brown has 540 yards on 39 grabs. Both will likely end up having over 1,000 receiving yards for the season, the first Steelers duo to do that since Hines Ward and Santonio Holmes achieved the feat in 2009.
In terms of overall value, though, I think this is the Steelers best combo at receiver since 2002, when a much younger Hines Ward and Plaxico Burress terrorized the league. Each had over 1,300 yards receiving despite a carosuel at quarterback between Tommy Maddox and Kordell Stewart. Ward was 28 and Burress 27 during that season. Wallace and Brown are both only 25 years old this season. Can you imagine what they'll be like in 3 years if they are still playing together? If both continue to improve and Roethlisberger stays healthy, the Steelers could have the best WR duo since Swann and Stallworth.
-B- Mike Tomlin's decision (or indecision) on the 4th down the Steelers had in their penultimate drive has been much discussed. Advanced NFL Stats has the most logical piece about the decision. Prior to the delay of game, kicking a FG was a slightly better option than punting. However, they argue that the best option of all would have been going for it on 4th down…even after the delay of game penalty. Tomlin has always been fairly aggressive in these types of situations so I was a little surprised watching the confusion from the sidelines last Sunday.
The Steelers were too passive when they had the ball that drive and too passive on defense once they had punted away. Beating good teams in this NFL requires you to be aggressive at all times. I'm sure the Steelers will play that situation a little differently next time around.

Record Audio (Su)
A clockwork spy can record nearby sounds as a swift action, archiving all sound within a 20-foot spread onto a small gemstone worth 50 gp embedded in its body. The clockwork spy can record up to 1 hour of sound per Hit Die it possesses. Starting and stopping playback of recorded sound is a swift action. Removing a gemstone or installing a gemstone into a clockwork spy requires a DC 25 Disable Device check as a full-round action—failure does not damage the gemstone but does erase any recorded sounds on the gemstone. Since clockwork spies are not intelligent, they must be given simple commands as to when they are to start recording sounds. A clockwork spy can differentiate between creature types and subtypes, but not between specific individuals—a spy can be ordered to start recording sound as soon as a humanoid (human) or an aberration comes in range, but it cannot be ordered to start recording when a specific person comes within range. Once a clockwork spy begins recording sound, it cannot cease recording early. Likewise, it cannot record sound onto a gemstone that already contains a recording.
Self-Destruct (Su)
Unless specifically programmed otherwise by its creator, a clockwork spy explodes 1 round after it is destroyed. During this round, the thing shrieks and thrashes about as if undergoing convulsions. On what would normally have been the clockwork spy's next action, it explodes, dealing 1d6 points of fire damage in a 5-foot radius (Reflex DC 10 for half damage). A DC 20 Disable Device check made as a standard action can halt the spy's self-destruct sequence, but does not prevent it from dying. A clockwork spy that self-destructs automatically destroys its gemstone, along with any information contained inside it. The save DC is Constitution-based.
Environment any
Organization solitary
Treasure incidental (gemstone worth 50 gp)
These spindly and discreet mechanical arachnids are ideal for surveillance and reconnaissance missions, and can be vital tools in political intrigues or illicit consortium tactics. Their retractable, insectile wings make the swift creatures even craftier foes than most would anticipate. As they are less combat-oriented than many other clockworks, if a clockwork spy is caught in the act of recording its target, escape is usually the most practical course of action for it.
Clockwork spies are about 2 feet wide from leg to leg, and weigh less than 40 pounds.
Clockwork Spy Construction
These delicate constructs are full of small parts and difficult to construct. The creator must start with crafted clockwork pieces worth 250 gp.
CL 12th; Price 1,250 gp
Feats Craft Construct; Spells geas/quest and ghost sound; Special creator must be at least caster level 12th; Skill(s) Craft (clockwork) DC 20; Cost 750 gp

I just transferred/consolidated $7000 worth of credit card debt to my Citi AmEx. It costed me $200 (ouch!) but I'm effectively dropping my APR by about 16%. I figure I'll make that $200 back in mere months. This is one of the first "pre-game" steps in getting this mountain paid off.
I don't really like to think about how I amassed this debt. It wasn't strictly all bad decisions and impulse buying, a lot had to do with the situation. When I was in my last couple of years in college, my mother severed me financially out of the blue one day. Okay, so we got in a fight. But with not much savings, unqualified for a educational loan, and an out-of-state tuition to pay plus books and such, I didn't have much of a choice but to turn to my trusty plastic card(s).
Then, after I graduated, I sold my car, paid off a lot of the debt with that, and headed out to California for two years. Things financially weren't exactly happening for me, as I didn't have much income and not nearly enough to really live on too much. Again, plastic saved the day (as well as grandma and grandpa, but that was only to help stop the bleeding temporarily) - and I crossed the fabled $10k credit card debt mark during this period.
Finally, I landed a job back here in Atlanta and I decided that it was time to take hold of my finances - $18k of credit card debt was insane for someone in their mid-20's. But I came back empty handed - no furniture or anything of that sort - just my car (that was and still is in dire need of replacing), my clothes, and some books, all of which fit in the backseat and trunk of my Nissan.
If anyone remembers having to start their first apartment from scratch, you'll know how damaging it is financially. I slept on the floor for months, and had an empty living room for just as long - until a dear friend donated a couch. I still had to keep a semblance of "doing okayness" as a show for my dad and grandparents, because as my only family left that haven't disowned me, the last thing I want them to do was to take care a 20-some year old me financially.
So I'm making progress. Step by step. For being raised in an environment where a love of money consumed the woman who bore me and in turn destroyed her family, I think I've gained a lot of financial sense in these past 6 months. Much of it has to do with so many blogs that many of you write and articles on different sites. I even started contributing into my 401(k), with the meager money I have left after dishing out to all those credit card bills. The goal is to get this all paid off by the end of the year, when I will reward myself with a new-to-me car.
This means, all you readers/writers, keep doing what you're doing, and just know that you've made a difference in at least one person's life.

The Mommy Show, on the road
Yesterday the May Queen and I boarded a plane and flew up to the midwest to visit family. My husband had to stay home and work, and start physical therapy for his knee. We're currently staying at my in-laws, and then on Father's Day we'll switch and stay with my parents.
Vacations are always interesting, because as a mom, I rarely feel like I'm truly getting a vacation. True, there are less responsibilities (no bathroom cleaning, for instance) and less phone calls, etc. But the main task of every day for me is taking care of the May Queen, and when we are not at home it's the same job, but without the aid of a room full of toys, playmates next door, and our regular activities. So when we are on "vacation" it is "Mommy play with me!" time. I wonder if parents of siblings feel differently about vacations, if the kids entertain themselves and enjoy the change in scenery as stimulus for new kinds of play. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy playing with The May Queen. But sometimes I'd like to also attack the stack of books I always pack with the great hope that maybe this time will be different.
And, to top it off, I have just come down with a miserable cold. This should come as no surprise, I suppose, as I have been running on empty for several weeks, and what else can I truly expect from my immune system?
I suppose, though, that I am focusing on just the negatives here. We live so far away from all our relatives, and it is so important that they have this time together to bond. And bond they do. My parents, for instance are great about getting down on the floor to play, and taking The May Queen on adventure hikes, etc. And as I write this my inlaws have taken The May Queen (per her insistent begging) to the Y for a dip in the pool. So maybe I will get in some reading after all.
I find that it becomes a matter of mindset. I have to change my ideas of what a vacation is. If all I want is my own quiet time and time to read, I probably won't get it, and will come away feeling frustrated. If I think of it as time to really focus on all the relationships in my life without the distractions of home, I can find this time to be relaxing and refreshing.
I'm not sure what the next 2 weeks will be like for my blogging - only time will tell. But I imagine it will give me lots of things to write about, if I can find the time!

I hope I don't sound like a Bad Mother when I say that vacations with kids aren't really my idea of a vacation. They're more like Big Fun Outings. I still enjoy them, but there is no relaxation to be had. We are about to go on a weekend sans kid, and that sounds heavenly to me right now. All I want to do is sleep.

With any luck, eventually,* you'll be able to send MQ off on the exciting adventure of visiting grandparents all by herself. Then you'll have a real vacation. Even if you don't go anywhere at all.
*though, if grandparents are a plane ride away, "eventually" may be later, rather than sooner.

You've perfectly captured how vacations are with kids -- it's not your vacation, but it is a vacation for the kid(s).
Your vacation would be one where you were off-mom-duty, no?

You know, I think what you said about changing your expectations is really what it's all about. I just booked a trip to the beach for my hubs and I and our 4 kids and I am crazy excited about just having that family time together.
I have to admit though, that I have taken my brood on planes to see relatives by myself before and those trips are always very stressful for me. I think it's staying with other people and worrying how they will behave.
Welcome to the blogging by the way. I linked here through Slouching Mom.

I know the feeling girl! If you are taking the little one on a trip, it is her trip, not yours. And anytime you take your child(ren) out of your comfort zone all on your own, it is highly stressful, pretty much no matter how optimistic you are. So, enjoy what few moments you might be able to steal while your family plays with MQ, and know that the time will come when she will be going off on her own little vacations and all you will really want to do is hop in her bag and watch over her...
thanks for dropping by my post, by the way! I look forward to your comments...we will figure out this bolgging thing, I know it!

I hear you on the vacations: we still have to do all that child wrangling. We're hoping, though, that once Baby Boo isn't a baby anymore, our two boys will start entertaining themselves a bit more...
