Sessile Drop
The sessile drop is the standard arrangement for optical measurement of the contact angle using drop shape analysis.
Sessile drop and its reflection on the surface of a solid
In the case of the static contact angle, the deposited drop lies on the surface of a solid.
In the case of the dynamic contact angle, the size of the drop is increased (advancing angle) or reduced (receding angle) during the measurement by means of a needle immersed in the drop, or moved over the solid with the help of a tilting table.

Dr. Jeff Van Drew today declared his candidacy for the United States House of Representatives in the Second Congressional District of New Jersey. Van Drew, a state senator, is a small business owner in Atlantic County, where he has practiced dentistry for more than 35 years. He lives in Cape May County, where is a life member of the Ocean View Fire Company.
"It will be the honor of a lifetime to represent South Jersey in Congress, especially at a time when our country most needs consensus builders," said Van Drew. "Expect to hear a lot from me during this campaign about finding common ground. It won't be easy or always even possible, but that must never stop us from making the effort. The future of our democracy depends on finding ways around our differences, so we can work together on all that we have in common."
All eight Democratic county chairs within the district have pledged their support for Van Drew's candidacy. The Second District is an expansive stretch of the southernmost region of the state, comprised of the state's entire coast from Barnegat Light to the Cape May Point Lighthouse. It reaches to the Delaware Memorial Bridge and covers all of Atlantic, Cape May
"My top priority in Congress will be to find ways to bring economic opportunities and good jobs to South Jersey," said Van Drew. "Thousands of people in the district lost their jobs during Atlantic City's downsizing, and the region is still feeling the ripple effects. I want to ensure that reforms to the nation's tax structure, health insurance system
Dr. Van Drew already serves approximately
"I have never met a public concern that didn't stand a better chance of being solved by working together than going it alone," said Van Drew. "Bipartisanship may have become a dirty word in Washington, but in the rest of the nation, we know it's exactly what we need right now. I want to be the kind of Congressman who reaches across the aisle to do what's right for the entire country." During his previous service as a Cape May County Freeholder, Dr. Van Drew worked to bring higher education to the last county in New Jersey without it, by helping to establish a joint Atlantic Cape Community College. County lore holds that he is one of only five Democrats to have been elected as freeholder since the Civil War—and the only one ever reelected.
He is the second Democratic state senator from the county in the state's history and the only one reelected. Dr. Van Drew also previously served as mayor of his community of Dennis Township. He was recognized by state leaders of both parties for holding the line on property taxes. In several legislative sessions, Dr. Van Drew earned the distinction of having more bills signed into law than any other legislator in New Jersey. His major victories include his work to end the danger and fatalities of the last three traffic lights on the Garden State Parkway by getting them removed from exits 9, 10 and 11, as well as the reconfiguration of exit 0 and the construction of the new bridge between Cape May and Atlantic counties. He saved 1,500 jobs from state budget cuts at the Vineland Developmental Center in Cumberland County. He sponsored several groundbreaking measures to make sure New Jersey children with dyslexia and other reading disabilities receive the instruction they need to succeed. He successfully opposed the diversion of funding for the Vineland Veterans Home in the state
"Our district has been represented by two extraordinary people since 1975—Bill Hughes and Frank LoBiondo," said Van Drew. "There's
"I want to be a Congressman for every resident of South Jersey, no matter what party. We need to resolve our petty differences and work together. Moderation for the good of our nation and our children is a virtue. It seems obvious to most of us, but unfortunately, extreme elements on both ends of the political spectrum are preventing that in Washington. I have never known any other way to get anything done. We can do better, and we must do better.

Danielle - posted on 06/03/2012 ( 13 moms have responded )
I am looking for benefits of all boy families.
I have a 4 year old boy, and am expecting another in September. We are only interested, and can afford two children. I was secretly hoping for a little girl, but after three years of infertility, and finally conceiving with treatments I am thankful to be pregnant at all.
I feel slightly stressed because I have two friends who are also expecting, and one has found out ( and is refusing to tell anyone), and the other doesn't know the sex.
I have a feeling that they will both get their desired gender (girls), and I am unsure how I will cope being the only one with another boy,
It is hard to be excited about this pregnancy. Since we've found out the sex, everyone seems to have lost their excitement for this baby's arrival. Everyone in our families were hoping for a girl.
I went to one of my friends baby showers today, and everyone was going on that my friend was destined to have a girl, and to "think pink", basically implying that a boy is undesired.. All the while I am sitting with my little boy in my belly. It made me feel angry, and upset. My friend doesn't even know the gender of the baby, and won't till it's born. What is so wrong with having another boy?!
I am trying my best to get excited for another boy, but I feel defeated at every turn. To make matters worse, it feels that I am in some sort of limbo waiting to find out the genders of my friends babies. I feel like if I could just know, then I could process it, and move on. I don't want to be blindsighted, and have it affect my bonding with my baby.
I am looking for benefits of having two boys! Did you ever have trouble dealing with people, and dissapointment in the gender? Do you think that it affected your bonding with your child?
Please be kind. I love my baby, and I am very thankful and excited to be able to be pregnant again. I just need some benefits to help put everything in perspective, so I can start preparing and get excited for my little boys arrival.

The reliable determination of the total phosphorus (P) content stored in aquatic biota is essential for studies on nutrient stoichiometry, as well as for effective lake management measures. However, a variety of methods are found in the literature for sample P content determination, which renders it necessary to assess whether the data reported in different studies are comparable. We used different combinations of combustion durations, acid types and acid concentrations for sample digestion, and measured P concentrations subsequently with the standard colorimetric method. In addition, P contents of samples were assayed by ICP–OES and MP–AES methods. Our results confirmed that the variability among studies using different methods may explain some of the reported intraspecific and interspecific variation. We found that duration of combustion exerted the most important influence on the P retrieval, while acid type and acidity of the hydrolysing solution did not substantially influence the efficiency of sample digestion. We recommend using 8 h of combustion and 0.3 N HCl for acid hydrolysis prior to the colorimetric P analysis, and urge standardisation in the P analyses of biotic samples so as to obtain reliable results and data comparable among different studies.

If any person out there desires to get me something that I will truly enjoy, then please inform them that I simply adore these superb solar garden lights. The displayed string of star shaped decorative solar garden lights is a prime instance. This solar light string set contains 20 warm white ST40 LED lights with rocket glass covers. Even if you do not have any prior experience with outside illumination, you can total a effective project with ease and add immediate value, functionality, and curb appeal to your property. Not spotlights that glare when they detect motion, nor glamor lights that spotlight trees, but lights that produce ambiance. Garden landscaping is a fantastic notion to add far more colour into your life it does not matter if you are alone or you're with your whole family members. On this beautiful light, the stem lights up in green and the lily flower cycles via the colors of the rainbow. If you are seeking for something to mix in with plants and flowers, the garden stake hummingbird light by Mr. Light is a fantastic decision. Unfortunately companies and customers do not have a notion of solar altitude.
As with most lights of this kind, this set of Moonrays lamps utilizes LED bulbs, so they're bright, clear and long lasting. Decorate your patio umbrella with the gorgeous and vibrant Intelligent Solar 20 Lantern String Light. Illuminate the porch or patio with these eye-catching string lights, featuring a gleaming star style and solar powered light. Nowhere in the USA or Canada is the solar altitude ever (even at solar noon) at 90 degrees. 1st off, they are among the most economical solar powered stake landscape lights you can locate. I have never been a fan of the weak bluish-white LED solar lights, but the ones you have here look considerably greater. This item is popularly recognized as fairy lights because when placed in a clear mason jar they have an look to fire flies.
Almost everything from simple lawn care to the requirements of a bigger garden with flowers calls for time and power for it to thrive. In my neighborhood, we have street lights that come on at dark automatically and go off at dawn. These are some of the very best solar string lights for the garden, but there are numerous other shapes sizes and possibilities out there too. This candle lantern style garden lamp is a superb addition to any green space because it is gorgeous, classic and sophisticated. A couple of impulsive Ebay items Searches – I never would have come up with fairy gardening if I hadn't looked up gnomes, which then got me some of my very best benefits on Pinterest and google for the sort of moss garden I was picturing. There are some fantastic solar powered garden spot lights out there, but I'd caution you a bit initial. Solar lights are obtainable at most hardware retailers and can also be located in the gardening section of Target and Walmart.
I have been thinking about solar lights for a year now and just never got motivated. Use them for specific occasions such as wedding receptions, backyard garden parties, or for any celebratory event. She would look just lovely perched on a rock in the sun amongst the flowers in my garden. When I very first installed the Malibu path lights, I not only had to buy the string of lights, but I had to purchase a transformer to convert the high voltage electricity currency into low voltage. The string lights we have been employing are from Target, and they've served us well aside from 1 problem: the fuse in the 1st plug constantly blows out because we have too several of the strands strung with each other. Thank so significantly for reading and commenting on my Hub about employing solar path lights.
That's a wise issue, since batteries don't last forever and not all lights allow for replacement. Not adequate to read by, but it is surely adequate to make a path much less treacherous, or to let you to admire your outside space and garden when the sun goes down. When you acquire a Paradise Garden Lighting Solar 50-Light 30 ft. Globe String Lights on the web from Wayfair, we make it as easy as feasible for you to discover out when your solution will be delivered.

For our previous workshop on September 13, 2018, we closed the walls for an even cozier atmosphere as Zuzana Bubalova enlightened us all about one's physical and mental health as an international living abroad, and how to healthily handle the many challenges that come from an expat life. A thousand thank-yous to Zuzana's "What can YOU do? Take back control!" workshop, filled with personal stories and expert knowledge that resonated in one way or another with her international audience. Thanks to you, we all left feeling much more secure about our overall happiness and well-being. For those unable to attend, below is a recap of Zuzana's presentation:
It is the quality of relationships, not the quantity, that matter in a person's lifetime happiness. To keep a relationship healthy, it is crucial to invest your time and energy on your own well-being, physical and mental. Your relationships are your support system in a new country, so it is important to share activities both indoors and outdoors for a healthier brain.
EFT is the Emotional Freedom Technique, designed to combat stress, anxiety and various illnesses. It is based on Chinese acupuncture and contemporary psychology. The latest research has shown that when we tap on certain points we send a signal through our nervous system to our amygdala, balance is renewed in your nervous system. This helps to clear out disturbances and establish new, healthier emotional responses.
"Where you put your time and energy, matters."
Zuzana Bubalova's company Massage Sense has held and continues to hold the Number 1 place in the Spa and Wellness in the Hague on Tripadvisor for the past 8 years. Combining her earlier experiences as a manual therapist with a degree in Psychology at the Open University, Zuzana has developed specialized programs within her company that adopt and emphasize the interaction and intertwining relationship of the physical and mental dimensions of human beings. She is a teacher and mentor that conducts workshops in homage to her philosophy that aids in helping people learn skills to build their well-being and personal relationships.
Thank you again to Zuzana Bubalova for sharing her empowering insights, wisdom, and strong connection to her listeners. If you would like to contact Zuzana with any questions, compliments, and/or to learn more about her company Massage Sense, email her at firstname.lastname@example.com. We can't wait to hear more from her in the future, and to experience an amazing massage!

And the kitchen...this kettle gets used many times throughout the day/night. Note the beautiful mate gourd on the counter that Laura got me :) The mate drinking tradition is a warm thing about Argentina, that along with greeting with a kiss on the cheek, I love. Everyone passes the mate gourd and takes a drink. It's a social tea activity. Beautiful.And the studio area. To the right is the entrance to the very cute patio - which, I would totally use if it wasn't freezing.
Now with this visual tour, you can imagine me sitting at this bench, with a cup of tea, drawing my heart out. Right?

Bruno Sammartino's manager, Sal Corrente, released a statement on the condition of the former WWWF star.
For the better part of a month Bruno Sammartino has been in the hospital. It was determined that he had to have another back surgery. The surgery went well and he is home now recuperating. The surgical team was lead by Dr. Joseph Maroon who has been Bruno's physician for many years. I have been in contact with Bruno throughout the month and today. He has given me to go ahead to post this publicly. He was in great spirits and we are all looking forward to his 100% recovery.
For those interested, Dr. Maroon is the medical director for WWE and has also been affiliated with the NFL for many years. Those here at The Brainosaur wish Bruno a speedy recovery.

Raad Says Hizbullah Pushing for Conciliation in Qabrshmoun Incident
Hizbullah MP Mohammed Raad said on Saturday that his party was drumming up support for a legal conciliation to resolve the deadly Qabrshmoun incident that ignited sectarian tension between the Progressive Socialist Party and the Lebanese Democratic Party and the latter's ally the Free Patriotic Movement.
"We are pushing for a legal reconciliation process, the Lebanese way, in the Qabrshmoun incident," said Raad.
Raad said the incident has "disrupted civil peace in a region of Lebanon dear to our hearts."
Two bodyguards of State Minister for Refugee Affairs Saleh al-Gharib were killed and a third was wounded in a clash with Progressive Socialist Party supporters in the Aley district town of Qabrshmoun. The minister escaped unharmed as a PSP supporter was injured.
The two parties have traded blame over the incident, with Gharib and his Lebanese Democratic Party describing it as an ambush and an assassination attempt and the PSP accusing the minister's bodyguards of forcing their way and opening fire on protesters.
The LDP has insisted that the case should be referred to the Judicial Council, a top Lebanese court that looks into national security crimes, a demand opposed by the PSP and other forces.
and what would an internationally recognized shia terrorist know about 'conciliation'?

As a socially conscious company, we're compelled to continue to find ways in which we can improve the communities we serve. It's a responsibility we all have to shoulder in order to keep society progressing, but also to continue to foster our own personal growth. Social responsibility is an obligation that all of us share, especially those who have ascended the ladder of success and have the means to make the farthest-reaching impact. Businesses and brands are no different.
Here at Revelation Creative, it is part of our mission to be socially responsible. For example, as a woman-led business, we are committed to equality in all aspects, but especially in the workplace. We feel strongly about providing opportunities and outlets for women to succeed in business through education, networking, and charitable outreach. We do so in conjunction with likeminded leaders – women AND men – who have made it to the top floor of success and who are willing to send the elevator back down. This core philosophy filters into all aspects of our client interactions.
Finding outlets that speak to your corporate mantra is one excellent way to begin finding the right fit for you to extend your reach outside the walls of your company. What are some other was you and your organization can become more socially responsible?
- Incorporate Diversity Initiatives
While we've seen a recent surge promoting women's equality initiatives in the workplace, diversity doesn't stop there. Diversity goes far beyond gender. To join and expand the diversity conversation, you need to embrace every culture, age, disability, and sexual orientation. To hire a more diverse group of people isn't enough. You need to weave diversity into your company's culture to create experiences and products that will reach a wider range of identities and perspectives.
- Focus on Corporate Activism
The best examples we've seen of brand activism have been rooted in politics. Many companies are feeling more and more compelled to voice their opinions with regard to recent announcements made by government officials. By putting their opinions out there, these companies are strengthening their connection to their core demographics.
While consumers might not always see eye-to-eye with corporate beliefs and opinions, the transparency being promoting can garner respect. No matter on what side of the political spectrum you fall, we see this as a clear indicator of things to come. Companies and brands are taking more focused action by identifying the areas where they can make the most impact. Once those areas are known, it's easier to devote resources toward proactive initiatives.
- Collaborate With Like-Minded Organizations
Once you've got your social mission defined, it's time to start acting! Have your goals in place and work toward achieving them. An easy way to get to the finish line is to partner with other like-minded business. Let them help you meet your objectives while getting your message out there. There truly is strength in numbers. When businesses – big and small – join forces, the impact becomes exponentially amplified. Start locally with businesses and charities that would have the most influence on your objectives. Doing this will improve the local community itself, and the economy of your neighborhood as a whole. The more momentum you gain with your brand activism, the bigger you can start thinking. (Act locally. Think globally!)
One major point to remember: The more you give, the more you can gain. It would be remiss to omit the benefits social responsibility can have on your bottom line. While we're not suggesting you get active in your community solely for monetary gain, it is an added bonus when your efforts are recognized by your customers who look to purchase from you on account of that civic-minded outreach. By becoming more socially responsible, you're helping to elevate your brand loyalty. Loyal clients and customers can be invaluable to your professional success, so never underestimate the power of positive press.

Want Better Sleep for Kids? Start Here
Sleep is one the most discussed issues in parenting, and for good reason. Instilling good sleep habits can feel like a full-time job, and obstacles seem to crop up on a regular basis. Teething and growth spurts can wake little ones, while stress, nightmares, and more growth spurts can impact older children. And getting them down for the night? That can feel like an Olympic event!
Sleep isn't always as easy as a story, a song, and a nightlight.
The latest research indicates that having a bedtime routine is associated with better sleep for children up to six years of age. A study of over 10,000 mothers from 14 countries found that having a consistent bedtime routine improved sleep outcomes including earlier bedtimes, less time trying to fall asleep, and fewer night wakings. Children with a consistent bedtime routine slept for an average of one hour longer than children without a routine. The study also associated a consistent bedtime routine with fewer daytime behavioral problems.
Here's the catch: Every child is an individual, and every child has specific needs. While research is useful because it gives us a blueprint, it doesn't account for individuality. When it comes to sleep, we're all different.
I have two kids with very different bedtime routines. They both have routines and they both sleep eleven hours per night, but how they get from wide awake to sleeping peacefully is specific to each child. My son craves space as he drifts off, while my daughter needs time to snuggle and decompress with Mom before bed. Both routines are equally effective, and bedtime isn't much of a struggle around here. But we did take the time to figure out what works for each child, and that helped us avoid bedtime power struggles.
Bedtime power struggles are a common occurrence and can increase stress for the whole family. So how do you find a routine that works for each child and allots time for your own bedtime needs? Start here:
Assess personality:
You don't need a personality test to understand the inner workings of your child; you just need to pay attention to the subtle cues that your child sends. My son has craved quiet time since he was a toddler. Quiet time reenergizes him and gives him the space he needs to process the events of the day.
Some kids need more interaction while others need time to decompress solo. Some crave cuddles and closeness while others appreciate some personal space. Some can't get enough books at night because they crave that special connection while others are good with one story and a few kisses.
Instead of creating a general routine for all, take your cues from your kids and create specific routines for each child.
{ MORE: Do You Let Your Kids Wear What They Want to Wear? }
Investigate obstacles:
Stress, fears, worries, transitions, and physical changes (like growth and teeth) can all prove significant obstacles to sleep. While some infants, toddlers, and big kids sleep their way through growth spurts, others feel uncomfortable and appear cranky. Real-world fears can present themselves as nightmares as children grow and begin to understand the world around them. This can cause worries as kids try to fall asleep and may wake them during the night.
Bedtime can be frustrating because all family members, including parents, are tired. Instead of brushing off fears, worries, or crankiness as no big deal, take the time to investigate the feelings beneath the behavior and then solve the problem.
Continuous calming music, white noise, extra nightlights, pictures of mom and dad taped to the bed, a special lovey (like an old t-shirt) from mom's closet, a lavender eye pillow (a favorite around here), and extra snuggle time can all help kids relax at night.
Factor in relaxation strategies:
Many kids simply don't know how to relax on their own. Nighttime can be hard because all of the feelings stuffed down throughout the day come to the surface when the lights go out. This happens to adults, as well. Ever have a night when you just can't seem to turn off your brain? Kids have a similar experience.
- Talk about it. Normalize the feelings and empathize. Talk about how you relax when you are stressed at night.
- Teach your child the art of relaxation breathing. I like to teach kids to pretend they are blowing up a balloon (we call this "balloon breathing" in my house). Have them take a deep breath in for a count of four and then slowly release the air into the imaginary balloon for a count of four. Repeat.
- Use guided imagery. You don't need a book or an app to use guided imagery in your home; you simply need a calming voice, five minutes, and a nice story. Ask your child to choose a happy destination. Cue your child to take those big relaxing breaths. Take your child on a calming journey to the destination using storytelling and a calming voice.

Vixen's Schlosberg, Fraley Take Home Top Rider Honors
SWEET BRIAR, Va. | Sweet Briar College returned to the top of the ODAC riding ranks as the Vixens claimed the team title at the ODAC Equestrian Championships on Saturday at the Bridgewater Equestrian Center. This is the third crown in the last five years for SBC's riders, joining team victories in 2015 and 2016. SBC was the runner-up each of the past two years, adding to the program's sustained level of success.
Three of the Vixens four championship riders earned All-ODAC honors on the way to helping Sweet Briar rack up 17 total points for a one-point triumph over runner-up Hollins University. Randolph College was the lone remaining program in double figures with 14 points for a third place finish. The host Eagles placed fourth with eight points, while Washington and Lee University chimed in fifth with seven tallies. The University of Lynchburg rounded out the ODAC's riding contingent with four points.

It has become common to see Sweet Briar competitors claim both ODAC Rider and Rookie of the Year laurels, but what is rare is for two riders to secure the honors considering a single Vixen earned the conference's top-two rider awards in three of the past five years.

Moles are hard to get rid of
Q. Regarding an earlier question about moles, a friend suggested using TomCat® Mole Killer Poison Worm Baits. And moles have a very high mortality rate so hopefully they will not survive the winter. But the only way we found to get rid of moles was to find a hole to the tunnel, fill with water, and wait for the mole to leave the flooded tunnel. A whack with a shovel will do them in. Icky but the only solution we found to work."
A. You've had better luck than I have had. The moles in our lawn must have had another exit and I never saw one come out, but I don't think they drowned, as the tunneling remained active. We have also tried electronic deterrents with limited success.
Research indicated that they were after grubs in the lawn. An entomologist friend joked that they were good friends trying to clean the lawn of grubs, but he also suggested treating the lawn with milky spores, which will eventually kill the grubs.by

Every week I will be sharing with you our top track for the last 7 days. Ear Fodder is an opportunity for you to sit down for a bit, kick back and spend some quality time feeding your ears, thinking carefully as to whether it will make it's way on to your mountain playlist.
This week is an absolute belter and what's more, it's British. Mercury award winning Alt-J have smashed onto the scene with their debut album "An Awesome Wave". The Guardian has described their style as "Boffin Rock". Shut up Guardian, yeah, they may look like Boffins but there is nothing boffin about it. Boffin's are all about numbers, figures and results. This is the opposite. This is a masterpiece that taps into the depths of your soul releasing nothing but pleasure en-route, something numbers simply can't do.
This track, Matilda, is superb. Everything about it is fantastic and I have yet to fault it. It's pure, organic, fair trade and eco friendly awesomeness, all of which couldn't make it a more perfect candidate for the first ever Ear Fodder. Enjoy and please comment.
You can buy Alt-J's album HERE and find out more about their tour HERE

Another Great CYC Day on the Water
Saturday July 23, 2011 in Horseshoe Cove
The morning showers cleared in time and the annual concert in Horseshoe Cove began on time to the delight of hundreds of party minded souls. And a great day it turned out to be with temperatures in the 90s and the water just delightful. Great music by our favorite School Street Band kept folks entertained although we promise that next year we have a plan in the works to attempt to give those further back a bit more volume. As you can imagine this is no easy task, but we shall make an attempt to work out the technical details! It was however, a marvelous party and that comes as no surprise. We believe School Street Band is just a perfect group for this July celebration, and we again thank Bruce and the group for coming back. They put much time and effort (
) into setting up for this most unusual setting; yet, they do say it's one of their favorite gigs!
Thanks again also must go to Clark Marine of Manchester our sponsor for this event. Without their commitment the CYC could not put the money donated directly into its Lake Preservation Fund. And speaking of donations...thank you, thank you, thank you! This year? Well, we can tell you that the amount deposited in the fishnet is in excess of $1,300! Amazing! Awesome! Thank you! And thanks as well to Bill and Molly Kieltyka and Tom and Isaac Johnson for their help in collecting.
Be sure to set aside the fourth Saturday in July for 2012
Great photo of School Street Band submitted by Deena Bennett.
How's this for a way to enjoy the concert?

Great boat!
Thanks to CLARK MARINE for their annual support of our concert!
Certainly a good reason to know State of Maine boating laws don't ya think?
Bill driving and Molly with a fishnet of $$$$$$$
Part of the.....

We broke all records this year! Over $1,300! Thank you all.
What a great day. Thanks to School Street Band, thanks to CLARK MARINE, and thanks to you for coming and supporting our CYC efforts at lake preservation! Make plans now for the 4th Saturday of July, 2012. And,how about attending another of our events this summer? We have something going every Saturday now until September 3. Check our Events page for details!

Stanford was in foul trouble and while Washington did play well defensively, its lack of shooting was hard to watch. Washington did shoot 43.5 percent in the second half, yet allowed Stanford to shoot 61.9 percent after the break. Appel was a force. She shot with both hands and grabbed rebounds. The only time she really worked was against Rogers, but the Cardinal's footwork and agility was far better, so she could still get her shot in the bucket even with Rogers in her face. Appel finished with 18 points and 13 boards. Rogers led her team with 10 points and one rebound. Up next is California on Sunday. Wear pink for breast health awareness. POSITIVES?: If you're looking for something good to say about Washington, I guess you could ride the fact that the Huskies are holding the Cardinal below their season scoring average (78.2). Ahem, Washington is nearing its lowest point-total ever (30) and against Stanford (35). Huskies down 54-30 with 2:52 remaining in the game. MCLELLAN OK: McLellan is back on the court but the Huskies' offense isn't. They're 4-for-30 from the field with 23.6 seconds remaining before halftime. MCLELLAN HURT?: Going for a rebound, McLellan took a hard spill and needed help off the court. She did a good job getting a shot clock violation on Stanford for a turnover. Huskies still down by 11 with 5:16 on the clock. SWEET SHOT: Whitcomb had a steal and converted it into a three-pointer to get UW into double digits, trailing 21-10 with 7:33 remaining in the first half. The Huskies aren't shooting well as a collective group, so highlights — like freshman Jeneva Anderson's block on Appel — are nullified. Stanford appears to be on cruise control already. REDWOOD: Appel is like a forest tonight. Mollie Williams tried to take shots to the hoop against her and even stop Appel inside, but crumbled at the slightest bump. Rogers is back in, but UW still trails 18-5 with 11:22 remaining in the opening half. Washington is 2-for-14 from the field and getting outrebounded 12-5 — not the recipe for an upset. ROGERS OUT: Like clockwork, Rogers was substituted out with 17:00 remaining. The more exciting end of the ball is Ogwumike's pretty offense. She has six points in a 8-2 Cardinal lead. Washington's only basket came in a hi-low pass from Whitcomb to Rogers with 18:48 remaining in the first half. Washington coach Tia Jackson has a plan if the Huskies can pull an upset Friday against No. 2 Stanford. "I know I'm rushing the floor — heels in hand," she said. "I'm throwing those puppies off." Just one problem. UW hasn't defeated Stanford at home since 2005. Then, the Cardinal was ranked 10th and the Huskies won the December nail bitter 77-72. It was a rare night in the series, which is led by Stanford 36-14 overall. Washington showed moxie against the Pac-10 power in Palo Alto in January, losing by 15 points. An improvement from the conference-record 77-point debacle last year. Yet, Stanford was without backcourt cohorts PG JJ Hones (knee) and G Jeanette Pohlen (ankle). They have returned and Stanford is defeating opponents by an average 21.3 points in its 12-game win streak since losing to No. 1 Connecticut in December. With March peering around the corner, the Cardinal are starting to play with more focus. Scary. Washington does have the frontcourt size to battle with Stanford. C Regina Rogers (6-foot-3), who's returning to the lineup after suffering a bruised bone, even defeated Stanford when she played for UCLA as a freshman. The Huskies just aren't ridding the type of high that would make you really believe they could pull an upset. In need a signature win that shows the program truly is building in the right direction, UW has lost six of its past eight games by 12.6 points. That includes an overtime defeat to Arizona State (67-61) and 30-point loss to Arizona last weekend. Jackson said the team looked lethargic against the Wildcats. Not a good sign at this point in the season. That shouldn't be the case tonight, so let's get to it with your starting lineup: CARDINAL F Nnemkadi Ogwumike F Kayla Pedersen C Jayne Appel G Rosalyn Gold-Onwude G Jeanette Pohlen HUSKIES F Sami Whitcomb F Mackenzie Argens C Regina Rogers G Sara Morton G Kristi Kingma Tonight's officials are Randy Campbell, Brian Hall, and Cathi Cornell.

With the Christmas season upon Canadians, alcohol can factor into many of the
seasonal parties and functions. However, for women who are pregnant alcohol
consumption can cause serious defects in the unborn child. It is estimated that
nine babies for every 1,000 that are born in Canada have Fetal Alcohol Spectrum
Disorder which can cause birth defects and/or developmental disabilities.
Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder is an umbrella term that describes the range of
disabilities and/or diagnoses that are a result of alcohol consumption during
pregnancy; impact of FASD varies from child to child. The degree of disability
and birth defects usually depends on the amount of alcohol that was consumed,
how often it was consumed and at what stage of the pregnancy it was consumed, as
well as the health status of the pregnant mother. It should be noted that
amount of alcohol is considered safe for pregnant women
It is estimated that more than 3,000 babies in Canada are born each year with
FASD, and approximately 300,000 Canadians are currently living with some form of
FASD. Research suggests that the cases of FASD are higher in aboriginal
communities as well as rural, remote Northern communities. However, FASD has
been found in all communities in Canada regardless of location as well as
financial status.
FASD causes mild to severe health problems for those who suffer from it. It can
impact delays in development, cause intellectual problems and well as problems
learning how to socialize with others. Some common examples of FASD are:
FASD can also cause behavioral problems such as:
People with FASD can also develop secondary disabilities; early diagnosis is
essential for being able to access professional help and on-going supports.
These secondary disabilities can include such issues as:
If FASD is suspected, it is vital that a doctor trained in this issue do a medical
diagnosis in order to rule out other medical conditions that are usually
treatable. A medical diagnosis of FASD involves a team of doctors who are
trained to assess psychological, speech as well as everyday functioning of the
person. While there is no cure for FASD, proper medical intervention can help to
provide those with FASD to lead more productive and satisfying lives.
In order to prevent FASD it is recommended that all women follow these steps:
It is essential that pregnancy and alcohol consumption are not mixed, since
there is no safe amount of consumption during any stage of pregnancy.
As the previous article stated, there are several types of laser eye surgery:
PRK, Lasik and Lasek procedures.
LASIK usually has less post-operative pain, and there is a greater risk of
complication due to the cornea being cut into. This includes:
Both the LASIK and PRK procedures carry the risk of corneal infection, known as
infectious keratitis. This infection can result in a significant loss of vision.
LASEK surgery reduces the risks such as weakening of the eye and dry eyes. As
with any other surgical procedure, complication risks are increased for people
with certain health conditions and/or lifestyles. When contemplating eye laser
surgery, have a detailed consultation with the surgeon about:
As well as considering the benefits and risks of laser eye surgery, it is
important that people are realistic about what they will achieve through the
procedure. As people age, so do their eyes, it is possible that in the future
some people may need reading glasses or other corrective eyewear again,
especially those over the age of 40. There also is the possibility of having to
have a second procedure if the right amount of correction is not achieved
through the first surgery.
Cost is also a consideration for eye laser surgery. Before considering this
option, consult with your health insurance professional to see what they cover.
Most health insurance does however cover the costs of contact lenses and/or
corrective eyewear. Check your group health insurance and/or individual health
insurance plan.
Every year, thousands of Canadians contemplate laser eye surgery in order to
correct their vision. This surgery is done in anticipation of the person no
longer being required to use contact lenses and/or prescription glasses in order
to have better vision. Canadians who are contemplating laser surgery should be
well informed of not the benefits of these procedures, but also the risks.
Laser eye surgery is most commonly used to correct vision problems such as:
All of these vision conditions are caused by problems with the eye focuses an
image on the retina (the light-sensitive layer at the back of the eye). A large
part of the eye's ability to focus is dependent on the shape of the cornea (the
clear front surface of the eye). A surgeon will use a laser device to make
permanent changes to the shape of the cornea. Most often used is the Excimer
laser, which produces a ultraviolet light beam which vaporizes tissue, thus
altering the shape of the cornea. This usually corrects mild to moderate
refractive errors in the eye.
There are several types of laser eye surgery that are commonly performed in

Statistics Canada has released a new study regarding obesity as it relates to job performance. The study shows that more Canadian workers are now obese, with the obesity rate climbing from 12.5% in the mid 1990's to 15.7% in 2005. Obesity is most prevalent among workers in the age range of 55 to 65; 21% of this workforce population was obese in 2005. Obesity is defined as any person whose body mass index (BMI) is over 30; 18.5 to 24.9 is defined as a normal weight range. Body mass index is calculated by a person's weight in kilograms divided by the square of their height in meters.
The study found that those who were obese found it harder to get their job done; some needed to cut back on their work activities as well as had a higher risk of being injured and/or requiring more days absent from work. Young men are almost 4 more times likely to be absent from work if they are obese. Obesity is also cited as the cause for women aged 35 to 54 to require either reduced work activities and/or disability days. Obese workers also have an increased probability of being hurt on the job; partially due to fatigue as well as physical limitations. As well, personal protective equipment may not be worn (or worn correctly), i.e. gloves and goggles. Certain medications may also increase the risk of being injured at work. Obese employees were found to have higher job strain (this is defined as high psychological demands combined with low job control.) These workers also felt that they received low social support from their colleagues and/or supervisors.
While obesity may be causing a problem in the workplace, the workplace may actually be the cause of some workers obesity problem. Canadians who work shift work and/or excessive hours tended to be at higher risk for being obese. A higher proportion of 'blue-collar' workers were found to be obese compared to those who work in the 'white-collar' professions. Irregular working hours associated with shift work can make it hard for employees to maintain a healthy eating schedule. Men who work more than 40 hours per week were more likely to obese than those who work a full-time schedule of 30 to 40 hours per week. Men between the ages of 35 to 54 with higher incomes tended to be more obese than those with lower incomes; one possible reason given was a tendency to dine out more often. However, women in the same age bracket tended to be more obese when their personal incomes were lower; this was attributed to possible cultural differences. Men and women with low education levels had a significantly higher chance of obesity with the exception of younger workers aged 18 to 34.
Workplace environments also play a large role in employee health. Jobs that are sedentary in nature can lead to excessive eating as well as a decrease in physical activity. Many Canadian jobs require much of the workforce to be in front of a computer terminal. This can lead to the tendency to snack during work hours as well as limited physical movement throughout the day, which in turn raises the risk of obesity.
With the rates of obesity having such a negative impact on the Canadian workforce, employers are being urged to help facilitate better health practices for their employees. It has been suggested that implementing health promotion programs may actually cost employers less than having to pay for sick leave, etc. This can have a direct impact on such expenses as prescription medications that are needed for those who are obese, as well lessening the risk of workplace accidents and/or injuries. As well, Canadians who have a better health status enjoy a lower premium on their health benefits. Even if a person initially must pay more due to health status, losing weight can actually entitle them to apply for a reduction in premiums. Health insurance premiums are based in part on health status; improvement in status can save potentially a large amount of money, especially in the long-term. It may also reduce the amount that is deducted from group insurance premiums should all staff improve their health.
There are many ways all Canadians can help improve their health that do not require a large financial investment, but rather more a conscious effort of daily habits. Some suggestions to make your workplace a healthier environment are:
• Talk to your co-workers as well as your employer about implementing a healthier workplace. Your employer may be willing to offer such initiatives such as partially reimbursing employees for such items as gym memberships, etc. in order to have a healthier, more productive staff.• You can also talk to your co-workers about healthier snacks and lunches; substituting fresh fruit instead of donuts and other high-fat snacks for example.• Organize a staff walk during the lunch break; this can help not only burn off calories, but help re-energize for the afternoon hours.• Use the stairs instead of the elevator if you can; walk instead of drive if possible.• Packing a lunch gives you more control over the types and portions of food you eat instead of dining out. This also tends to be a less expensive alternative than eating out. You can pack snacks such as fresh fruit, vegetables, crackers, etc. for when you're working that will satisfy the craving to eat, while not being high in fat and calories.
If exercise is just not possible during the week, plan some weekend activities that require you to be active. An improved diet as well as physical exercise gives the employee more energy as well, making them more productive. A few simple lifestyle changes can make all the difference when it comes to health and helping to combat the stresses of life.
Most times, when Canadians think about insurance, they think only of the standard health and life insurance policies. For some, this may be enough; however, especially for self-employed people, as well as those who do not have the savings to maintain their lifestyle for a period of time, disability insurance may be a wise choice.
Personal Accident Disability Plans provide monthly payments that can fund expenses, and/or replace your income in case you become disabled due to an accident. Sickness Disability is also offered, providing you meet the qualification standards for this particular plan. These plans are guaranteed to be renewed to age 65, 70, or 90; the age limit will depend on the particular plan you select; as long as premiums are paid on time, your plan cannot be canceled.
This insurance is quite easy to apply for, with automatic acceptance and/or acceptance within 5 days of the application (the coverage starts on the day the application was signed), up to 90 days. Very few questions will need to be answered, so the application process is very easy for most.
The 24 Hour Compensation Plan includes features such as:
Accident Total Disability Benefits: This entitles the policyholder to payments of $2,000 a month which is paid each month on the first day of the disability if you become totally disabled due to an injury sustained in an accident. This amount is paid while the total disability continues for up to 2 years. This benefit does reduce to $1,000 at age 70. Totally disabled means that you were employed (minimum 30 hours a week) prior to the accident, and that you are unable to perform your occupation and are not working elsewhere. Otherwise, this means that you are unable to perform most of your routine daily activities.
Accident Partial Disability Benefits: If you become partially disabled due to injury, this plan will pay a partial disability benefit of $1,000 (50% of your Total Disability Benefit) for up to 6 months. If employed prior to the accident, partially disabled means that you cannot perform one or more of your important duties and cannot work full time. Otherwise this means that you are unable to perform a significant amount of your routine daily activities.
Accident Total Disability Benefit Adjustment: If your annual income decreases after you have applied for coverage, your Total Disability benefit, as well as claim payment and premiums may be reduced based on your new annual income.
Integration With Other Sources: If your Total Disability claim is more than $2,000 per month, your claim payment may be reduced by the amount of disability benefits you receive from other plans.
The Accident Excess Medical Rider provides you with a reimbursement of the following expenses that you may have incurred as a result of an accident:
• Paramedical services of a licensed physiotherapist, osteopath, massage therapist, and/or chiropractor, up to $800 per accident;• Semi-private or private hospital room expenses, up to $100 per day for up one year;• T.V., radio and/or telephone rental expenses while hospitalized, up to $15 per day;• Prescription drug expenses of up to $500 per accident, maximum 30 day supply of medication per prescription for all Canadian residents except those who reside in Quebec;• Medical equipment expenses, i.e. hospital beds, oxygen equipment, wheelchairs, crutches, canes, walkers, etc. of up to $7,500 per accident;• Medical supplies and prosthesis expenses of up to $7,500 per accident. This includes such expenses as artificial limbs or eyes, surgical stockings, orthopedic appliances (not including teeth), braces, collars, splints, casts, trusses, pressure garments, burn garments, medical dressings, etc.• Prescription vision care expenses. This covers the full cost of 1 pair of prescription eyeglasses or 1 year supply of contact lenses, provided that these were not previously required or worn. Up to $250 per accident for the repair or replacement of existing prescription eyeglasses or contact lenses.• Dental care expenses for the services of a dentist or dental surgeon, for up to $3,500 per accident for the repair of natural teeth or treatment of a fractured jaw.
Consult with your insurance broker to see if this type of coverage is best suited for your needs. You can also visit us at http://www.healthquotes.ca/Disability/ for more information regarding these types of plans.
When a lump is discovered in the breast, either by the woman or her physician, tests will be ordered to determine whether or not the lump is cancerous. These tests can be used to 'stage' and 'grade' the cancer. These tests will most likely include:
Imaging Studies: This allows tissues, organs and/or bones to be studied in detail. X-rays, ultrasounds, CT scans and/or bone scans give healthcare professionals the opportunity to study pictures of the size of the tumor and to see if it has spread.
Biopsy: This is usually necessary to make a definite diagnosis of cancer; cells are removed and checked under a microscope. These cells can also be studied to determine how fast the cancerous cells are growing. A biopsy can be done by:
• Fine needle aspiration: this uses a thin needle to remove fluid/cells from the lump. • Core needle biopsy: a needle is inserted through a small incision in the breast to remove samples of tissue. • Surgical biopsy: local anesthetic is used and part or the entire lump will be removed.
Laboratory Tests: If cancerous cells are found in the biopsy sample these tests can help the physician learn more about the cancer to determine which treatment options are best suited. The hormone receptor status test shows whether the cells have certain hormone receptors. This can help predict how the tumor will behave and whether or not it will respond to hormonal therapy; this is more common in post-menopausal women. The Her2 test looks for the cancer gene that controls the Her2 protein. Her2 positive breast cancers behave differently than other breast cancers and need specific treatment.
Once a definite diagnosis of cancer has been made the cancer will be given a stage and a grade. The cancer stage describes the tumor size as well as whether or not it has spread beyond the place where it began to grow. In the earliest stage of breast cancer the cells are found only in the milk ducts or lobules and are called in situ cancer. If this is diagnosed before these cells have spread to the surrounding tissue there is no risk of them spreading once they have been removed. When breast cancer spreads of the duct or lobule it is called invasive cancer; this is still effectively treated especially if diagnosed early. The five stages of breast cancer are:
Stage 0: There are 2 kinds of stage 0 breast cancer: ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS), where abnormal cells are in the lining of the milk duct and have not spread outside of the duct. Lobular carcinoma in situ (LCIS), where abnormal cells are in the lining of a lobule. Stage 1: Where the tumor is 2 cm or smaller and the cancer has not spread outside of the breast.Stage 2: Where the tumor is 2 to 5 cm, or the cancer has spread to the lymph nodes, or both.Stage 3: Where the cancer has spread to the lymph nodes and may have also spread to surrounding tissues i.e. the muscle or the skin.Stage 4: Where the cancer has spread to distant parts of the body.
The biopsy sample is studied to determine the grade of the tumor which is based on how the cancer cells look and behave when compared to the normal cells. There are 3 grades:
Grade 1: This is a low grade; slow growing and less likely to spread.Grade 2: This is a moderate grade.Grade 3: This is a high grade that tends to grow quickly and is more likely to spread.
Along with the stage and grade of the breast cancer, the healthcare team will factor in the woman's age, health status and whether or not she has been through menopause in order to determine the best treatment options. The most common treatment methods are:
Surgery: The type of surgery will depend on the size and location of the tumor. A lumpectomy involves the removal of a lump as well as some tissue, but not the whole breast. A mastectomy involves the removal of the whole breast. Many times the doctor will also remove some lymph nodes from the armpit in order to determine whether or not the cancer has spread.
Radiation Therapy: External beam radiation therapy involves a large machine that is used to aim a beam of radiation at the tumor. The radiation damages the cancerous cells as well as healthy cells that are in the path of the beam. This type of radiation therapy is almost always given after breast-conserving therapy (lumpectomy) and is sometimes used after a mastectomy. In certain cases, the lymph node area will also be treated with this therapy. Internal radiation therapy (brachytherapy) involves radioactive material being placed directly into or near the tumor.
Chemotherapy: This treatment is given either orally (pills) or by injection. Chemotherapy drugs interfere with the ability of cancerous cells to grow and spread; however this treatment does damage healthy cells as well. Side effects from chemotherapy generally include nausea, vomiting, fatigue, hair loss, decreased appetite as well as increased risk of infection. Some chemotherapy drugs can affect the ability to become pregnant as well.
Hormone Therapy: This treatment removes hormones from the body and/or blocks their actions which can stop cancer cells from growing. Tumors that are hormone receptor positive can be treated with this therapy. Drugs, surgery or radiation therapy can be used to change hormone levels. Hormonal drugs are given as either injections or oral medications. This can cause menopause-like symptoms, i.e. irregular periods, hot flashes. These side effects can be reduced and/or controlled and usually go away once treatment has been concluded; however menopause may be permanent. Surgically removing the ovaries from pre-menopausal women is also a treatment option. This causes immediate onset of menopause.
Biological Therapy: This method of treatment uses drugs to interfere with how the cancer cells grow as well as using the body's immune system to destroy the cancerous cells. This treatment is often used for women whose breast cancer has too much of the Her2 protein.
Early detection plays a large role in the successful treatment of breast cancer. Women aged 40-49 should have a clinical breast examination at least every 2 years. Women aged 50-69 should have a clinical breast examination every 2 years as well as a mammogram during the same time period. Women over this age should talk to their physician regarding how often testing should occur. For more information regarding breast cancer, please visit the Canadian Cancer Society.

Posted on January 3, 2011 | | Categories: File Security, FTP
November and December 2010 were difficult months for IT security.
Wikileaks began publishing 251,287 leaked United States embassy cables on Sunday November 28th. This was the largest set of confidential documents ever to be released into the public domain. How do security officials believe these documents were originally retrieved by the alleged source, Pfc. Bradley Manning? Many security professionals are wondering if FTP was the software mechanism used.
Also in the news was the security breach at the popular publication Gawker.com. Over the weekend of December 11, Gawker discovered that 1.2 million accounts were compromised, the infrastructure breached, and access to MySQL databases raided. Gawker internal FTP credentials were listed as a part of the breach.
Gawker's problems prompted Social Networking giant LinkedIn to reset the passwords of all users that had Gawker accounts, for fear of contamination by hackers who had gained sensitive profile information.
Smaller national headlines of other breaches included the theft of an undisclosed number of email addresses, birth-dates, and other information by a contractor working for McDonalds.
Also, it was reported that a mailing list was pilfered from the drugstore giant Walgreens. In addition, a leak of law enforcement data was reported by a Mesa County, Colorado.
Finally, a popular Open Source FTP server software application, ProFTPD version 1.3.3c, was distributed containing a malicious backdoor that permits hackers to access FTP credentials. It is thought the attackers took advantage of an un-patched security flaw in the FTP daemon to gain access to the server and exchange distribution files.
Related Reading: Are Your FTP Credentials Secure?
The threats may be too diverse to slip into a single category, but the likely culprit is the use of powerful native FTP, without proper, secure management. Once a doorway is left open, native unmanaged FTP access can wreak havoc in any organization.
It doesn't have to be this way. Using a secure file transfer solution like GoAnywhere MFT, which has granular permissions and security controls, along with detailed audit logs and alerts, IT can monitor and better secure and control its data resources.
Regardless of how your organization or your trusted business partners are configured to exchange data, isn't it time to consider a better way to manage your file transfer security?
There's no way around it; FTP puts your data at risk. If you need to secure sensitive data, explore FTP alternatives in our white paper, "Beyond FTP: Securing and Managing File Transfers."
