Health Tip: Keeping Seniors on Their Feet
By Diana Kohnle, HealthDay Reporter
(HealthDay News) -- Wearing a pair of sturdy, properly fitted shoes can help keep seniors upright.
The American Podiatric Medical Association suggests these shoe-buying tips for seniors:
- Squeeze both sides of the heel to make sure it doesn't collapse. Check for appropriate flexibility in the toe box, and make sure the shoe doesn't twist in the middle.
- Each time you go shopping, measure your feet. Also, shop late in the day and shop for the size that fits your largest foot.
- Pack a pair of socks to try on with the shoes.
- Don't buy shoes that aren't immediately comfortable or steady.
- Talk to a podiatrist about the best shoes for any specific foot problems.
New Weight Loss Formula: Popular Diabetes Drug Melts Pounds, Studies Show
Melanie Haiken | April 30, 2014.
If the FDA says yes, a major new weight loss drug may hit the market this year. A high-dose formulation of liraglutide, the popular diabetes drug from Novo Nordisk melts up to 10 percent of body mass, studies show.
Liraglutide, available in 1.2 mg and 1.8 mg doses as Victoza, is already a huge success for Novo Nordisk. The company has now filed with the FDA seeking approval for a 3.0 mg dose after studies found major weight loss benefits (in conjunction with diet and exercise.)
In clinical trials, liraglutide helped those taking it lose 5 to 10 percent of their body mass, according to research published in the International Journal of Obesity. And while this study looked at people with diabetes, a previous study published in the Lancet tested the drug in non-diabetics and found similarly impressive weight loss.
In late December, Novo Nordisk filed two submissions for liraglutide, a new drug application (NDA) with the FDA, and a Marketing Authorization Application (MAA) with the European Medicines Agency, according to Drug Discovery & Development.
But some folks may not have to wait even that long. In February, Novo Nordisk made the unusual move of targeting Mexico for an initial approval of high-dose liraglutide. And others may not wait at all; while the studies warn against using liraglutide "off-label" for weight loss, it seems certain that patients will seek to use Victoza for that purpose.
Liraglutide works by mimicking a hormone known as GLP-1, which slows digestion and stimulates the body's natural production of insulin. Victoza has been very successful for Novo Nordisk, with sales jumping 58 percent in 2012, and climbing an additional 14 percent in the third quarter of 2013.
Experts are projecting that liraglutide would have blockbuster potential as a weight loss application because the market for weight loss is so large.
The study in non-diabetics, conducted by Arne Astrup of the University of Copenhagen, tested four different doses of liraglutide: (1.2 mg, 1.8 mg, 2.4 mg, and 3.0 mg) against placebo and another drug, Orlistat and found that people taking the highest dosage of liraglutide lost an average of almost 16 pounds. People taking the lower doses also lost weight, between 10 pounds with 1.2 mg and 13 pounds at 2.4 mg.
Just as exciting, liraglutide was found to reduce pre-diabetes, lower blood pressure, and even help reduce sleep apnea. The most common side effects from liraglutide were mild; some participants experienced nausea,vomiting and diarrhea when they first started taking the drug but in most cases the problems subsided over time.
However, there are also more serious safety concerns; currently the FDA is investigating the entire class of GLP-1 drugs to see if they raise the risk of pancreatitis. Victoza also carries a warning that animal studies found it caused thyroid tumors, both benign and cancerous, in mice, and that it's "not known" if it could carry the same risk for humans.
And then there's the fact that liraglutide is administered as a daily injection, which will likely prove a barrier for many people, especially given the availability of oral weight loss drugs like Qsymia and Belviq.
A Class of Potential Weight Loss Cures
Liraglutide belongs to a class of drugs known as incretin mimetics, all of which may turn out to be potential weight loss cures.
AstraZeneca's evenatide (Byetta, Bydureon) the other GLP-1 analog on the market, has also been found to aid weight loss, and the obesity community is taking notice. Weight loss bulletin boards are a-buzz with questions, and health experts like Mayo Clinic are beginning to weigh in on the issue.
Meanwhile, more GLP-1 analogs come down the pipeline. Just a few weeks ago the FDA approved albiglutide (Tanzeum), GlaxoSmithKline's GLP-1 contender, which only has to be injected once-a-week.
And the FDA is currently reviewing Eli Lilly's GLP-1 analog, dulaglutide, which appears to be as promising for weight loss as liraglutide, and also has once-a-week dosage. Eli Lilly hopes to have dulaglutide in pharmacies by the end of 2014. Pharmacists project weight loss benefits may be just as important as diabetes control in determining which GLP-1 drug is most successful.
Sanofi's GLP-1 analog Lyxumi launched in Europe in late 2013, but the company recently withdrew it's application for FDA approval in the U.S. pending an investigation into the drug's cardiovascular safety.
Increasing Daily Coffee Consumption May Reduce Type 2 Diabetes Risk
By: News Staff | April 27, 2014.
Boston, MA — People who increased the amount of coffee they drank each day by more than one cup over a four-year period had a 11% lower risk for type 2 diabetes than those who made no changes to their coffee consumption, according to a new study led by Harvard School of Public Health (HSPH) researchers. In addition, the study found that those who decreased their coffee consumption by more than a cup per day increased their type 2 diabetes risk by 17%.
"Our findings confirm those of previous studies that showed that higher coffee consumption was associated with lower type 2 diabetes risk," said Shilpa Bhupathiraju, lead author and research fellow in the Department of Nutrition at HSPH. "Most importantly, they provide new evidence that changes in coffee consumption habit can affect type 2 diabetes risk in a relatively short period of time."
The study appears online Thursday, April 24, 2014 in Diabetologia(the journal of the European Association for the Study of Diabetes).
The researchers analyzed data on caffeinated and decaffeinated coffee, and caffeinated tea consumption from 48,464 women in the Brigham and Women's Hospital-based Nurses' Health Study (1986-2006), 47,510 women in Nurses' Health Study II (1991-2007), and 27,759 men in the Health Professionals Follow-up Study (1986-2006). Participants' diets were evaluated every four years with a questionnaire, and those who self-reported type 2 diabetes filled out additional questionnaires. A total of 7,269 cases of type 2 diabetes were documented.
Results showed that participants who increased their coffee consumption by more than one cup per day (median change=1.69 cups/day) over a four-year period had a 11% lower risk of type 2 diabetes in the subsequent four years compared to those who made no changes in consumption. (A cup of coffee was defined as eight ounces, black, or with a small amount of milk and/or sugar.) Those who lowered their daily coffee consumption by more than one cup (median change=2 cups/day) had a 17% higher risk for diabetes. Changes in decaffeinated coffee consumption and caffeinated tea consumption were not associated with changes in risk for type 2 diabetes.
"These findings further demonstrate that, for most people, coffee may have health benefits," said Frank Hu, senior author and professor of nutrition and epidemiology at HSPH. "But coffee is only one of many factors that influence diabetes risk. More importantly, individuals should watch their weight and be physically active."
Healthy Feet for Spring
Denise Pritchard | March 31, 2014.
In 1914, eight doctors formed the Michigan Podiatric Medical Association (MPMA). Their founding document stated the purpose of the organization was to "improve the profession, safeguard the public and encourage scientific investigation." Although many medical advances have been made over the past 100 years, the mission of the MPMA has remained unchanged.
"Foot and ankle concerns are too often overlooked by the general public," said Dr. Jodie Sengstock, MPMA past president. "Our feet are the foundation of our body. One of the goals of the MPMA is to reach out to the public to let them know that annual foot exams can lead to a better quality of life and also may help detect the onset of other life threatening diseases."
Throughout the month of April, the MPMA will celebrate and promote the national Foot Health Awareness campaign. This is the perfect time to determine what shape ones' feet are in.
Examining our feet can help us identify early symptoms of other serious disorders such as vascular disease and diabetes. Foot issues can also cause other problems throughout our body.
Most Americans log an amazing 75,000 miles on their feet by the time they reach age 50. Through the years, aging and repetitive use lead to normal changes in our feet. Keeping up with those changes is important to an individual's overall health and wellbeing. MPMA podiatrists are uniquely qualified to identify changes, normal and irregular, and to determine the appropriate action or treatment to be taken.
Normal changes to the foot include:
· The foot becomes wider and longer
· There is mild settling of the arch which is seen as flattening of the foot
· The fat pad on the bottom of the heel thins out, causing loss of natural padding and spring in the step
· The foot and ankle lose some of their normal range of motion and become stiffer
· There can be some loss of balance while walking
As these physical changes occur, shoe sizes and support needs also change and must be addressed.
Some foot changes can occur that are abnormal or pathological. These problems do not happen naturally and many can be prevented, or their progress halted, by addressing ill-fitting shoes, adding supportive orthotics, surgery, or other modifications.
Abnormal changes to the foot include:
· Bunions (the formation of a large bump on the big toe, which starts to point toward the little toes)
· Hammering of the toes (curling of the toes)
· Clawing of the toes (more severe curling of the toes)
· Tailor's bunion (the formation of a large bump on the smallest toe, which starts to point toward the large toe)
· Calluses or corns, which occur on the toes or foot due to high pressure over bony areas
· Morton's neuromas ("pinched nerve" between the toes)
· Arthritis of the joints
A yearly exam with an MPMA podiatrist is vital to tracking changes, checking for proper sensation and circulation, and calling attention to abnormalities. Early detection and treatment of problems help keep individuals on their feet and active.
Take time to schedule an annual foot exam today.
Erin Mayer | April 2014.
How far would you go for a pair of Louboutins? What about foot surgery? More and morewomen are surgically altering their feet so they can comfortably wear designer heels. Sound extreme to you? Good, you're human.
The New York Times recently spoke to some high-profile podiatrists who all had stories about women seeking to change the shape of their feet to accommodate their beloved stilettos. Dr. Ali Sadrieh, who founded Evo Advanced Foot Surgery in Beverly Hills, said he was originally disturbed by the trend but eventually came to understand why women would take such dramatic action.
"Patients would bring in shoes they dreamed of wearing," he said over tea recently at the St. Regis New York, where he was staying to see New York patients. "On the surface, it looked shallow. But I came to see she needs these shoes to project confidence, they are part of her outside skin. That's the real world."
Um, what? That's the real world? I think the "real world" is about wearing shoes that are right for the feet you have, not shelling out thousands of dollars to literally carve your feet to fit your closet full of Manolos. But I guess that's just me.
Dr. Sadrieh has capitalized on the trend by coining a few fashionable names for various procedures. There's the Cinderella (a colloquial name for a bunionectomy), the Perfect 10! (aesthetic toe-shortening), the Model-T (toe-lengthening), and the Foot Tuck (a fat-pad augmentation that makes high heels more comfortable). These cutesy names are clever and probably excellent for business. What's troubling is how many women were asking for these procedures before they had quirky names.
Another podiatrist, Dr. Neal Blitz (coolest name ever, by the way), who works out of Manhattan, calls the feet "the final frontier" of cosmetic surgery. "My practice has exploded because of Manolo Blahnik, Christian Louboutin and Nicholas Kirkwood," he told the Times. "There's nothing like opening a shoe closet that's been closed to somebody for years."
An America Now segment from 2013 refers calls this phenomenon "stiletto surgery," which involves one of several procedures:
removing a cylinder of bone from the toe, slimming down down it's length, or injecting fillers into the foot to add padding, or simply lobbing off the pinky toe to add extra wiggle room inside a shoe that's notoriously painful to walk in.
Despite the enthusiastic endorsements from the New York Times podiatrists, America Now found that many doctors believe foot surgery should only be performed for restorative purposes.
The American Podiatric Medical Association and many of their physicians warn that foot surgery should only be performed for medical reasons — to restore function or reconstruct a deformity.
I suppose that if you have the disposable income (America Now quoted $500 to $1,500 per toe), the ability to wear designer heels comfortably is preferable to hobbling around in pain. But this just seems crazy to me! I love shoes, and, were I fabulously wealthy, would certainly own a closet full of Nicholas Kirkwood pumps. But, rather than foot surgery, maybe these women would be happy investing in some Dr. Scholl's inserts and sticking to flats on a day-to-day basis?

In politics, a skeleton in the closet can be career ending.
But for graduate student and Student Association Sen. Chris Hedquist, his skeletons have enabled him to travel the world, gain celebrity abroad, win medals and even acquire his own Wikipedia page.
Hedquist, who serves as both the vice president of the GW MBA Association, and a senator representing the Business School in the SA, has since retired from the world of skeleton racing, a fast-paced sledding sport in which the athlete lies head-first on a stripped-down sled (hence the name "skeleton.")
"It is the most fun thing you can do in the world," Hedquist said. "The first time I did it I was just laughing the whole way down because it is that much fun."
At the height of his career he captured the overall European Cup in 2004, becoming the first American sledder to do so. A year later he won the World University Games Championships. In his final season on the World Cup circuit he was ranked seventh in the world. He can't remember how many medals he has won.
The 28-year old always had extreme aspirations. He began competing in luge from the age of 12, discovering the sport when the U.S. team held tryouts near his home in Salt Lake. He even dabbled in freestyle mogul skiing.
His career in skeleton began after Tristan Gale, a female friend and skeleton gold medal winner at the 2002 Winter Olympics, recommended he try it.
"She basically recruited me over (from luge). I wasn't really going anywhere with luge – it was kind of off and on – so I jumped over to skeleton," Hedquist said. "It just took off and got out of control from there."
Hedquist was an alternate on the 2006 U.S. Olympic team that competed in Torino. After not making the cut, he decided to accept a position as the coach of Ireland's national team.
The sport originated in St. Moritz, Switzerland, where it was included in the Olympic games for the first time in 1928. It was permanently added to the Winter Olympics in 2006.
While it takes place on the same track as the bobsled and luge races, skeleton racing is notable for the head-first position – steering and braking are controlled only by the movements of the athlete's body. But despite the high-speed and rapid turns, Hedquist said he has only had one "bad hit."
"You're going like 85 miles per hour and you don't notice how precarious it is until you make a mistake, and then it's like 'Oh crap, I'm totally out of control.'"
He continued, "I came off the top of a 20-foot curve, and smashed my sled into the side of the wall. You wear a mouth guard and everything, but I hit so hard it knocked me out. I probably was out for like three or four curves, and then I came to. I ended up chipping like two teeth."
But Hedquist insists that skeleton is safer than most sports. Most skeleton injuries originate from the running at the beginning of the race to propel the sled, and result in pulled hamstrings, not concussions.
For Hedquist, running his SA senate race was considerably easier than running a skeleton race – especially considering he didn't know he was up for the senator position.
"I actually didn't decide to run; I ran for the VP of the MBAA and I won that. Consequently, there was an election for the SA and my name got written in on the ballot," Hedquist said. "I got an email saying, 'Hey you won a seat.'"
And although he did not actively choose the position, he has embraced it and enjoys the work. It allows him to help his program, which Headquist said is the best part.
He retired from racing last year, served briefly as the coach of Ireland's Olympic team and hopes to translate his background and travel into a career in international business. He said racing has given him confidence, which he employs in his other life at presentations and meetings.
So will Hedquist encourage his eight-month old son to pick up sledding?
"I'm thinking I'm going to do more mainstream sports with him," he said.

I have been coughing for a few weeks. I think I have forced my lungs a bit too much, as I am experiencing pain every time I breathe and cough. I was home resting on the last days of the week. I resisted visiting the doctor, but after getting a fever I was not standing against it anymore. The medicines I got made me so tired and lazy.
Autumn Colors
Gothenburg has wonderful colors at the moment, but the leaves are falling and we lose these colors quickly. The day I think of taking pictures of a tree changes so quick that I can't catch it the next day. We went out on Sunday to take pictures and get a little benefit from the sun which we will not be seeing for a long time.

Back to School....
Check out my new blog...
Well we are back in full effect for this school year and it has been hectic. I find that one of the hardest things of being a special needs parent is wonder if what you are doing is enough and if I am making the right decisions. I have found myself in a spot lately where I am second guessing myself and the decisions we have made for Adrian. I can't help and look at him and wonder what the future holds for him will he ever speak, will he be independent and do things on his own. Will he need constant supervision, he will he be able to defend himself in a world that is so cruel and cold hearted. And my answer to this is I do not know we are trying to bring him up to do all these things but at the end God only knows. And I have to grab onto God to help us on a daily basis to get thru daily. I never knew how hurtful people could be until my son was diagnosed with ASD. And what parents go thru on a daily basis as a mom I feel the hurt, I feel the stares, the judgements and sometimes even the comments. And even though we treat our son like his siblings and like any other child sometimes we will refrain of going places because it's just better to be in our safe zone then having to confront, see or hear what others have to say. But no matter what God has given us a reassurance that he is control and I can't help but remember the following verse "Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth." Psalms 46:10. To those parents who have felt the same things that I have felt know that you are not alone. Some days may be harder then others but know that we have been chosen to be a parent of a special child and in spite of how our child is they are teaching us something that we would have never learned if they were our typical child.

My name is Gail and I am a mother to three amazing children, Adrian (age 8) and a set of twins Aby & AJ (age 4). I have been married to my best friend for almost 13 years and I'm so thankful God blessed me with a supportive, loving man after God's own heart. Our family is blessed in so many ways and to even describe how thankful we are for His love and grace is beyond words. One of our favorite verses that we love is.. "But seek first the kingdom of GOD and His righteousness, and all these things shall added to you" – Matthew 6:33.

Report — From the November 2012 issue
Symbolically speaking, this era was inaugurated by Chuck Hagel, an unknown millionaire who ran for one of Nebraska's U.S. Senate seats in 1996. Initially Hagel trailed the popular Democratic governor, Ben Nelson, who had been elected in a landslide two years earlier. Three days before the election, however, a poll conducted by the Omaha World-Herald showed a dead heat, with 47 percent of respondents favoring each candidate. David Moore, who was then managing editor of the Gallup Poll, told the paper, "We can't predict the outcome."
Hagel's victory in the general election, invariably referred to as an "upset," handed the seat to the G.O.P. for the first time in eighteen years. Hagel trounced Nelson by fifteen points. Even for those who had factored in the governor's deteriorating numbers and a last-minute barrage of negative ads, this divergence from pre-election polling was enough to raise eyebrows across the nation.
Few Americans knew that until shortly before the election, Hagel had been chairman of the company whose computerized voting machines would soon count his own votes: Election Systems & Software (then called American Information Systems). Hagel stepped down from his post just two weeks before announcing his candidacy. Yet he retained millions of dollars in stock in the McCarthy Group, which owned ES&S. And Michael McCarthy, the parent company's founder, was Hagel's campaign treasurer.
Whether Hagel's relationship to ES&S ensured his victory is open to speculation. But the surprising scale of his win awakened a new fear among voting-rights activists and raised a disturbing question: Who controls the new technology of Election Night?
"Why would someone who owns a voting-machine company want to run for office?" asked Charlie Matulka, a Democrat who contested Hagel's Senate seat in 2002. Speaking at a press conference shortly before the election, he added: "Is this the fox guarding the henhouse?" A construction worker with limited funding and name recognition, Matulka was obviously a less formidable competitor than Nelson. Still, Hagel won an astonishing 83 percent of the vote—among the largest margins of victory in any statewide race in Nebraska's history. And with nearly 400,000 registered Democrats on the rolls, Matulka managed to scrape up only 70,290 votes.
Hagel had never actually disclosed his financial ties to ES&S, and Matulka requested an investigation by the Senate Ethics Committee. His request was rejected. Equally futile was his call for a hand count of the ballots, since a state law specified that recounts had to be conducted using the very same "vote-counting device" that was used to begin with—in this case, the ES&S optical scanners.
Meanwhile, the new millennium, far from delivering a democratic promised land, presented Americans with the debacle of the 2000 presidential election, whose fate hung absurdly on "hanging chads"—the little pieces of punched-out ballot so contentiously examined during the monthlong recount. Few Americans knew (and many still do not know) that a faulty computer memory card triggered this fiasco. Late on Election Night, Al Gore's total in Volusia County, Florida, suddenly dropped when one precinct reported 16,000 negative votes. Fox News was immediately prompted by Florida governor Jeb Bush to call the election for his brother. On his way to a 3 a.m. public concession, Gore changed course when a campaign staffer discovered that he was actually ahead in Volusia County by 13,000 votes.
But the damage was done. Gore was cast as a sore loser in a hostile media environment. His effort to obtain a recount was described by Sean Hannity on Fox News as an attempt to "steal the election." Meanwhile, George W. Bush invoked his duty to get on with the business of running the country. The rest, as they say, is history.
We are now in the midst of yet another election season. And as November 6 approaches, only one thing is certain: American voters will have no ability to know with certainty who wins any given race, from dogcatcher to president. Nor will we know the true results of ballot initiatives and referenda affecting some of the most vital issues of our day, including fracking, abortion, gay marriage, GMO-food labeling, and electoral reform itself. Our faith-based elections are the result of a new Dark Age in American democracy, brought on, paradoxically, by techological progress.

The scenario studied is a drive mission for a heavy diesel truck. With aid of an on board road slope database in combination with a GPS unit, information about the road geometry ahead is extracted. This look-ahead information is used in an optimization of the velocity trajectory with respect to a criterion formulation that weighs trip time and fuel consumption. A dynamic programming algorithm is devised and used in a predictive control scheme by constantly feeding the conventional cruise controller with new set points. The algorithm is evaluated with a real truck on a highway, and the experimental results show that the fuel consumption is significantly reduced.
Original Publication: Erik Hellström, Maria Ivarsson, Jan Åslund and Lars Nielsen, Look-ahead control for heavy trucks to minimize trip time and fuel consumption, 2009, Control Engineering Practice, (17), 2, 245-254. http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.conengprac.2008.07.005 Copyright: Elsevier Science B.V., Amsterdam. http://www.elsevier.com/
The road topography in highways affects the powertrain control of a heavy truck substantially since the engine power is low in relation to the vehicle weight. In large road gradients constant speed is not possible to keep, which would have been beneficial otherwise, and in some uphills shifting gears becomes inevitable. If information about the road ahead, i.e. look ahead information, is available, then the powertrain can be controlled in a more fuel efficient way. Trial runs are performed, where the velocity trajectory that minimizes energy consumption, is calculated and communicated in real time as set points to the conventional cruise control. This look ahead control gives significant fuel consumption reductions compared to a standard cruise control, while keeping to the same mean speed. The results are the inspiration to further studies in how powertrain control can benefit from look ahead information. An engine with a non-linear fuel map is studied to understand its impact on fuel optimal speed. It is shown that for a significant fuel map non-linearity, quantified by a threshold value, constant speed in small road gradients is no longer optimal. Further, an automated manual transmission (AMT) optimal gear control is studied. It is shown that the reduced propulsion of a typical AMT gear-shifting process must be considered when choosing when to shift gears. Thus, additional reductions of fuel consumption are obtained with a look ahead control based on knowledge of engine and transmission characteristics.
Trucks are responsible for the major part of inland freight and so, they are a backbone of the modern economy but they are also a large consumer of energy. In this context, a dominating vehicle is a truck with heavy load on a long trip. The aim with look-ahead control is to reduce the energy consumption of heavy vehicles by utilizing information about future conditions focusing on the road topography ahead of the vehicle.
The possible gains with look-ahead control are evaluated by performing experiments with a truck on highway. A real-time control system based on receding horizon control (RHC) is set up where the optimization problem is solved repeatedly on-line for a certain horizon ahead of the vehicle. The experimental results show that significant reductions of the fuel consumption are achieved, and that the controller structure, where the algorithm calculates set points fed to lower level controllers, has satisfactory robustness to perform well on-board in a real environment. Moreover, the controller behavior has the preferred property of being intuitive, and the behavior is perceived as comfortable and natural by participating drivers and passengers.
A well-behaved and efficient algorithm is developed, based on dynamic programing, for the mixed-integer nonlinear minimum-fuel problem. A modeling framework is formulated where special attention is given to properly include gear shifting with physical models. Fuel equivalents are used to reformulate the problem into a tractable form and to construct a residual cost enabling the use of a shorter horizon ahead of the vehicle. Analysis of errors due to discretization of the continuous dynamics and due to interpolation shows that an energy formulation is beneficial for reducing both error sources. The result is an algorithm giving accurate solutions with low computational effort for use in an on-board controller for a fuel-optimal velocity profile and gear selection.
The prevailing approach for the look-ahead problem is RHC where main topics are the approximation of the residual cost and the choice of the horizon length. These two topics are given a thorough investigation independent of the method of solving the optimal control problem in each time step. The basis for the fuel equivalents and the residual cost is formed from physical intuition as well as mathematical interpretations in terms of the Lagrange multipliers used in optimization theory. Measures for suboptimality are introduced that enables choosing horizon length with the appropriate compromise between fuel consumption and trip time.
Control of a hybrid electric powertrain is put in the framework together with control of velocity and gear. For an efficient solution of the minimum-fuel problem in this case, more fuel equivalence factors and an energy formulation are employed. An application is demonstrated in a design study where it is shown how the optimal trade-off between size and capacity of the electrical system depends on road characteristics, and also that a modestly sized electrical system achieves most of the gain.
The contributions develop algorithms, create associated design tools, and carry out experiments. Altogether, a feasible framework is achieved that pave the way for on-board fuel-optimal look-ahead control.

Autumn started yesterday. I like to celebrate the astrological observances. I am REALLY good at celebrating the solstices. But the Equinoxes leave something to be desired. That being said I felt like I needed to DO something. Hear was my plan….
1. Start the morning in a clean house and sage it from top to the bottom.
2. Tidy my altar
3. Bake either banana or pumpkin bread
4. Press apples into cider
5. Swap out clothes
6. Watch Football
7. Cook a big harvesty dinner
8. Take a nature walk or go tot he cemetary
This is what I did…
1. Woke up to a messy house (I was sick most of the weekend) and cleaned it from top to bottom. No smudging though…
2. Was out of coffee so I went shopping. Walmart counts as nature right?
3. Cooked banana bread and drank store bought cider.
4. Swapped clothes
5. Watched football
6. Read my book
7. Cooked a big dinner from leftovers
I did more than I expected.

Feb 2019 lyricaldissonance full-production singer-songwriter indie-folk-rock depression
I wanted to add something to the 'Mental Health Support Group' thread but I thought this was the better option. It's dedicated (with true empathy) to those who suffer.
It probably needs a C Section (more than apt, given the painful birth of this damn song) 😉. Yeah, maybe a middle 8 before the last verse to add more concrete images of depression, so people don't mistake this for yet another sad song.
Anyway, I leaned heavily on the 'craft' for this and I was tearing my hair out with all of the internal rhymes (logic puzzles, anyone?). There's something truly powerful about the I-IV progression in a 6/8 meter.
This is why I come back to FAWM every few years. I come away with at least one song that's pretty special on a personal level.
Weighing Me Down
Sun's on the rise - I fear those first clouds are forming
Can't open my eyes - familiar black thoughts a warning
Not quite the picture of perfect you wanted to find
There's solace in sleep (night, night) - too bad the sleep isn't longer
And warmth from the sheets (fight, fight) - they're helping the void grip me stronger
Night time is easy - it's morning that's making me frown
The good doctor said something's wrong in my head and I struggle when no one's around
And it's weighing me down
'Everything's fine (fine, fine) - It's sure to get brighter tomorrow'
Believe in the lie (lie, lie) - far better than truth's real horror
I breathe in more grey than air - normal's nowhere to be found
Heavy's the head with the crown made of lead and a king that's curled up on the ground
And it's weighing me down
(c) B.Marchant 2019
Excellent production here. The mix is perfect, the drums are great, as are the instruments, and the vocals bring it all up another few notches.
This sounds very professional. Great mix! I really like the vocal melody and delivery.
I've heard Paul McCartney describe songwriting as a crossword puzzle once you've had the original idea. I feel the same way only sometimes the words are incredibly difficult to find.
Despite never having suffered from real depression and without even considering all the production goodness this song still moves me.
Love your delivery here - you can hear the forced smile. Great stuff. Can't think of a better way to stick it up depression than turn it into a radio-friendly singalong. As always, I shake my head in pleased wonder at your production skills. The drums stood out a bit - they have a different energy to the rest of the song, like they're trying to fight their way out - but I can see how that fits the theme.
More please, sir.
Such a sunny musical work with such heavy lyrics-- the juxtaposition is powerful indeed. Beautiful song!
I like how this song shows the experience of depression from the outside... the way the music is sunny like the face we sometimes show to the world when inside we're weighed down. So many sonic treats here, especially your voice. Love when the piano comes in. I agree a c section would complete the song. Get behind the mask musically more there maybe. A darker chord? Strip away some instruments?
Thanks for writing down so many of the thoughts in my own head.
In the back of my mind is a lyric about how the black hole feels like forever, even though I know I've come out of it 100% of the times in the past.
As usual, production and performance are stellar. The echoed harmonies combined with the fact that the speaker is talking, no silent, give it a hopeful feeling. Anyone who can talk about these things is taking a step toward healing.
I think the sameness in the pattern, the lack of a bridge, suits the lyric. Unless you're going for "it's not as bad as it sounds", no spikes or asides or detours necessary.
That first line really captures anxiety perfectly; any new hope has the fear of it being overtaken. I like the "night, night," etc background vocals. The "solace of sleep" is truth spoken.
Oh, friend, thank you. Wading into feelings like these is both easy and cripplingly difficult -- "Heavy's the head with the crown made of lead and a king that's curled up on the ground" is a perfect perfect line.
Production on this is fantastic and the tune itself is great. Too many great touches to point them all out but I especially like the bracketed response vocals in the verses, and the piano part under the "weighing me down" chorus. Love the lyrics too!
I really like where you go with your chorus, both instrumentally and lyrically. And of course how you reach that high note in your first and third lines. Beautifully sung!
Fantastic. One of the best fawm songs I've ever heard. Love it!!
Fantastic work. It's funny how the melody and the arrangement make the song feel very light and airy but the the lyrics are quite the opposite. Love the topic too, I've been trying to write a lyric about depression too and this was really inspirational.
I love your voice. It's very distinctive and your technique is great. "Night time is easy - it's morning that's making me frown" is EXACTLY how I feel when I'm having a depressive episode. It feels so unfair, because you get to the end on the day and think, "Hey, I think this might be lifting," and then wake up and feel cheated.
UGH!!!!! This is absolutely fantastic. Thank you for this. What a great topic and treatment lyrically and musically. Love everything about it, including those Lucy in the Sky response harmonies. Loved every bit of this journey. Ended "too soon." Mark of a great song. Really like what you're doing there in the piano in the open spaces. Makes me realize I need to improve my playing. "I wanna do that!" Reminds me of maybe Brendan James? 😀 Glad this baby came out!
I love the lyrics here, it's geeat to see a song exploring mental health. The power behind the instrumental and the vocals is great - it conveys that you can really struggle with mental health and still be strong. I also love the harmonies you added in.

BLANTYRE, February 08, 2018: DSTV Malawi and Eco Bank have unveiled urban sensational gospel artist patience Namadingo as their brands Ambassador and the artist has since signed a one year contract.
The unveiling ceremony took place Wednesday at Protea Ryalls Hotel in Blantyre, which will see Namadingo carry the DSTV Malawi and Eco bank Brands for the year, 2018.
The award winning musician will be featured in various DSTV and Multichoice Malawi corporate, marketing and communications campaigns through conventional electronic and print media platforms besides being involved in digital advertising and social media communications.
Speaking at the function, Multichoice marketing Manager, Chimwemwe Nyirenda, said they decided to work with Namadingo because he has demonstrated maturity in the music industry, "the same way DSTV Malawi".
He said Namamadingo's music appeals to everyone regardless of the age and gender divide.
"There is a kind of congruency between Namadingo's music and DSTV content. His music is loved by everyone ranging from little kids, to boys and girls, men and women. DSTV has also programmes such as cartoons, sports drama which appeal to every age group; we thought working with him at this point in time will enhance our visibility.
"For us we are looking for different factors; you may have seen how he has developed as an artist, it takes a lot of courage, time and patience. He is "original, creative, unique and innovative," observed Nyirenda.
Ecobank's Head of Commercial Banking, Victoria Chanza described the partnership with DSTV Malawi and Patience Namadingo as a milestone both in business and entertainment circles.
Chanza said Ecobank is an energetic, vibrant and growing bank and so is Namadingo adding that taking him on board would help boost and market the bank's innovative services which the public is not aware of.
"Patience is a darling to Malawi; he has a huge following on social media, his shows are always on point; so a is Ecobank, we see growth in our Brand and good business ahead," explained Chanza.
Expressing his gratitude, the man of the moment, Patience Namadingo said this is an opportunity to die for and it symbolizes extreme support from the corporate world towards Malawi's music growing industry.
He said that it is a great honor to work with Malawi's biggest Brands as it is very good for his career and will do his best never to let them down.
The contract will require Namadingo to carry both DSTV and Ecobank Brands through his Band. Band members should wear T-Shirts emblazoned with DSTV messages, talk about DSTV and EcoBank during his shows, and perform at DSTV and Ecobank events among others.
Multichoice Malawi will also give him a full DSTV subscription during the duration of the contract besides supporting and organizing Namadingo's music related activities.
This is the first time for Ecobank to have a brand Ambassador whilst Multichoice had Tay Grin in 2016 as Brand Ambassador for DSTV Malawi while Lulu was as GOTV Brand Ambassador in 2017.

Hope everyone had a wonderful Valentines Day!! I did. 🙂
1. Last food you ate:
V-day dinner. Grilled salmon with steamed green beans. Delish!!! Nothing says love like pink fish. 🙂
2. Last beverage you drank
Oh my gosh, you guys!! I found this wine with chocolate. One tastes like chocolate covered cherries and the other is a drier wine with dark chocolate. So yummy! I've never seen it any other time of the year. I should have stocked up!
And it went perfectly with the chocolate covered strawberries I made!!!
I left work to run at my favorite trail. It was a perfect 50 degrees out. It was the best run I've had in a long time. My legs felt great and I was faster than usual. (Plus, I wanted to get home to enjoy the Vday dinner and dessert)!
4. Last thing you pinned (Pinterest= katiedaisy921)
Love this. I usually use Froyo as Luke's carrot. "If you have a good week at school, we'll get Froyo this weekend."
5. Last text message you sent
To hubby to let him know I was done with my run and headed home.
6. Last blog you visited
I was reading Megan's post about Valentines Day over at Food & Fitness. I love her description of her lunch time run. I have definitely been there with the quick changes and post-run red face. 🙂
7. Last place you visited
Asheville, NC. Last weekend. Post still to come. 🙂
8. Last show you watched
The Office. After enjoying our salmon dinner, we caught up on the DVR. We were 3 episodes behind. They really should have put this show to bed a few seasons ago. I'm just hanging on simply because I know it's almost over.
9. Last thing you baked
It's tradition in our house to bake a heart-shaped cake for Valentines Day. I even found the picture from our first Valentines Day in 1995 where I made our first heart-shaped cake. Which means we've celebrated 18 Valentines Days together. Awwww…..
I also made Red Velvet Cake Balls for my son's Valentines party at school….
10. Last photo you instagrammed (Instagram = katiedaisy921)
Actually the last photo I instagrammed was the cake, the one before that was of the wine, and the one before that was my run. So here is Thursday morning …. my son had a 7:15am teeth cleaning appointment. We had to get out the door extra early today.
And finally, outfit of the day (#ootd). Who doesn't wear red on Valentines Day? It's like a rule, right?
So what did you do on Valentines day??? Did you wear red???
2 responses to "Last Things Thursday: Valentines Edition"
[…] of all, do you remember me telling you about this chocolate wine I found for Valentines Day?? I never imagined I would see it again until next February. Well, […]

So how do you choose between the versatility and comfort of spikeless golf shoes over the stability and traction of cleated shoes? Spikeless shoes with no replaceable cleats actually comprise barely 10% of golf shoe sales in the previous years. However, this year, spikeless (or what they call hybrid) shoes are projected to comprise 1/3 of the total golf shoe sales. Question is, will the spikeless shoes make cleated shoes obsolete just how cleats made metal spikes outmoded in the 90s?
The versatility of spikeless shoes, as well as their comfortable underfoot base, make them a great choice for golfers today. However, the lateral stability of cleats is also an important factor to consider when buying golf shoes. While these factors can make it harder to decide, you can always go for the one that makes you feel more comfortable and well balanced. Golf requires a lot of focus especially when playing on slopes and challenging courses. Whether you're a newbie or a pro, you sure understand how important it is to wear the right pair of shoes when playing golf in your favorite country club.
Choosing the Right Type of Golf Shoe
Various ground conditions during summer and spring greatly affect the player's performance. Hence, it does make sense to wear the ideal shoes you can count on while getting balance. Molded cleats, traction lugs, and the nubs are popular because of their versatility. You can comfortably wear them on the course no matter the weather. The advancements in technology supported the further development of golf shoes with foam cushioned mid-soles, lightweight uppers, and durable soles. These only mean that the shoes offered today are an excellent investment for those who love golfing.
The more sophisticated grip designs have also improved the overall performance of these shoes. Also, since spikeless shoes come in a wide range of colors, you are guaranteed to find the exact style you want. The less expensive choices in fact help golfers to collect a few designs and wear different shoes when playing in the golf course. Unlike before, manufacturers are offering great prices that everyone can afford. You can check out some websites to help you find the perfect shoes you need.
Unless you are a member of the local golf club in your area or usually play on flat courses, it can be a smart choice to use traditional spiked shoes especially during summer and winter seasons. However, spikeless golf shoes can be an ideal investment in the long run. They are usually more comfortable on firmer grounds while turning round between pairs. It increases the lifespan of shoes as well as their versatility in providing excellent options in the player's golf wardrobe.
Other Tips in Buying Cleated and Spikeless Shoes
The materials used in manufacturing golfing shoes have different features to offer. It's important to understand which type can provide the exact features you need. Whether you need the leather, waterproof lining, or synthetic shoes, be sure to do some research before you decide to buy a pair of new shoes. But don't worry because Rock Bottom Golf can help you find the pair you need to improve your golfing experience. This will secure waterproofing, stability, traction, comfort, and style.
Remember that a nice pair of shoes will help you get to where you want to be. When it comes to golfing, it will support you in balancing, gripping, and making golf swings. All you need to do is check out the features offered and see for yourself. In addition to that, you can also read some online reviews before purchasing. It will guarantee you actual performance while giving you the kind of comfort you truly deserve. After all, you deserve to enjoy your plays and develop better skills in hitting the ball off the tee.

A woman of many talents
Long-time readers of Family Lore may recall the wonderful advert of Chicago firm Fetman, Garland & Associates, with the subtle caption "Life's short. Get a divorce." Well, partner Corri Fetman has now found a new outlet for her (indisputable) talents. She now has a column in Playboy as the 'Lawyer of Love', answering legal questions for readers. Not only that, she has posed for some quite (ahem) interesting photos for the magazine, and she apparently featured as "Boss of the Month" in the February 2008 edition. Further, she has revealed that the shapely figure in the aforementioned advert was hers (the male figure was that of her personal trainer), and she is now appearing as a dominatrix on the firm's new advert, with the slogan: "Take Control. Get a Divorce.":
Who said family law was boring?
[I hasten to add that I do not normally read Playboy. I came across the above via this story, in the Earthtimes. Honest!]

John... i don't read Playboy either... but I am grateful to you for picking this story up.ReplyDelete
I have, I'm afraid, had to report on it... with due accreditation to source... most amusing story. Thought it was a wind up. Apparently not.
Did a fair bit of further research to trace the source of the story etc etc... and did, I'm afraid, look at the pics... the free ones.
I don't know... I can't see Commercial lawyers doing this.. But where there is 'Mucca'.. there is obviously brass... in the world of Family Law, at least?
Yes, I looked at the pics too - purely in the cause of investigative journalism, of course.ReplyDelete
I'm just waiting for a UK family lawyer to follow the lead...
